Chapter 5: Desperate

*hey! this is the author, and only part of this chapter is with Mabel, Candy, Grenda and Marius. thanks for reading!*

Mabel's P.O.V.

PEOPLE! MORE PEOPLE ARRIVE! YAYYYYY

I spot Candy at the yummy fountains. 

"Cheese, chocolate, cheese, chocolate--" Candy chants, while switching the stick with a marshmallow.

"Candy, listen to me carefully. You're caught in a sweet-savory loop. Put the fondue fork down." I tell her.

"I-I want to, but I can't." She tells me.

We hear glass ringing from the butler. We turn our heads.

"Introducing Baron Marius von Fundshauser.

Marius Von Fundshauser arrives, and me, Candy, Grenda screams.

I swear his face was glowing.. LIKE A ANGEL!!!

"Guten tag!" He exclaims as he walks in the room.

"..Guten take-me-now!" I exclaim, running towards him.

Grenda holds me back, reminding me, "Mabel, we had a truce!"

Candy jumps into the conversation, "Yes yes, a truce! Uh, Grenda? Can you go fetch us some fancy napkins?"

Grenda simply say, "Wow, okay!" and walks to where the food is.

I start jumping up and down.

*Whispers* "Listen, Mabel, I don't know if I can follow this truce! He is too adorable!" Candy says.

"Huh, me too, Candy. But what do we do? He's unattainable!" I say, looking at Marius's glorious face.

"What if we flirt with him as a team? With our cuteness combined, one of us might have a chance!" Candy exclaims.

"It is the perfect plan, but what about Grenda?" I reply, looking at Grenda getting a bunch of napkins.

"I love Grenda, Mabel. But these boys are fancy! Her aggressive flirting style might scare them away!" Candy quickly replies.

We both stare at Grenda as she says "What's on your shirt?" She smacks a boy's nose. "Haha.. Gullible, loser!" She laughs.

I look at Candy. Candy looks at me. We both nod. Operation hottie Marius!


Dipper's P.O.V.

I run as fast as I can. Should've took running lessons. Anyways, we're being chased by a GHOST.

"Hurry! Through the garden! Watch out for peacocks!"Pacifica says as she points to a evergreen garden.

I look through my journal, sprinting through the mud, getting our shoes all muddy.

"Come on, come on-- *Flips through journal desperately* I got it! Haunted paintings can only be trapped in a silver mirror. *Points ahead* Look! There's a silver mirror right there!"

Pacifica stops me, putting her arm, stopping me before going into a room.

"Wait! Don't go in there! This room has my parents' favorite carpet pattern! They'll lose it if we track mud in there!" She says, out of breath.

"What? Are you serious?!" I try to walk past Pacifica, but she stops me.

"I-We-We'll find another way!" She says.

We hear laughing, " Come out!" Of course. The lumberjack.

"Pacifica, we don't have time for this! Let me through!" I try to squeeze. She wouldn't let me.

"No, my parents will kill me!" She yells.

"Why are you so afraid of your parents?!" I yell back.

"Y-You wouldn't understand!" She says, looking down.

She starts pulling on my journal, and eventually we both fall through a secret(?) path?!

"Ahh... What is this place?" I ask Pacifica.

"That's weird. I don't even know where this room is." She says, confused.

"Hopefully the ghost doesn't either." I say, out of breath.

"Yeah, maybe we're safe."

-Silence-

A sheet behind her starts coming to life. 

"P-PACIFICA, WATCH OUT!"

"AHHHHHH" She screams.

"YOUR FATE IS SEALED!" Says the ghost, in his booming voice. 

"A-A silver mirror!" I exclaim, so relieved.

Pacifica starts to run, then trips. "Ow!"

"PREPARE TO DIE, NORTHWEST!" The ghost exclaims, with a huge grin on his face. He holds up the axe and starts to bring it down.

I run towards Pacifica, holding the silver mirror, praying it works.

"Did you get him?" Pacifica asks, shaking.

We both look inside the mirror.

We hear pounding from the mirror, "NO! FREE ME!"

We both laugh and say yes!

"W-We did it!" She looks at me, with a gleam in her eyes, and hugs me.

She opens her eyes, realising that she hugged ME, and she awkwardly laughs it off. He face turns bright red.

I laugh and scratch my head, blushing.

She holds out a dollar, "Can I pay you to pretend that never happened?"
