"Stop!"Stan yells and the guards put down their spears."Them three are with me.Hurt them and-"He never got to finish his sentence,for personal reasons unknown.
"As you wish."said the auburn lady,and she and her blonde friend headed out the door.
     "Look,we need to get out of here!Your trapped in this prison and your not safe here.....it's a trap,not a paradise!"I yelled,frustrated.
       "I agree with Dipper on this."Wendy puts a supportive hand around my arm.
        Stan sighed and went to his desk."Look,I don't care if this is a trap....it's a wonderland to me."He flipped over a gold card that read Mayor Stan."This place is the dream world I dream I would want to live in....even if it's all a dream,at least I can stay a little while in this fantasy.Maybe I can convince you guys to stay."
        "Nope no way Mr.Pines....you have to come back to help us with the apocalypse!"Soos tells him.
         "Maybe this will change your mind?"Stan snaps his fingers,and a burger with two wings flying came to Soos.He took a bite.
           "Yum!I didn't know flying burgers were so delicious!"he exclaimed.
           "Stanleyland has a little something for everyone."Stan snaps his fingers,and all our worn out,beat,dirty clothes become clean.
            A wrestler runs to Soos.They have a small conversation I don't really pay attention to.The only thing I focus on is getting Stan back.
"Wait Soos,come back!"I yelled to him as he walked away with the wrestler.
           "Sorry dude,even if this is all a dream....."Soos dazed off."I gotta play just one game."
           It was hopeless.I soon watched Wendy go with her friends on a truck away and I didn't even try to stop her.I had given up,hope was nothing to me now.
           "There'll be something for you too,bro."Stan snapped his fingers and a large book appeared.When I say large I mean large.It was so thick and big it towered over me by three feet.
           "W-what is this?"Ford asked,startled by the book's amazingly large size.
            "Oh,just a book about monsters and all your nerd stuff."he waved his fingers."I'll give it to you,just say thank you."
            "What?"
"Say thank you for me rescuing you out of that portal.If I hadn't,you'd be dead!"Stan yells,angry."You selfish little know it all,you son of a-"
"Thank you.But I don't want the book."Ford says.
"Well,whatever.Guess you won't be getting anything."he claps his hands and the book disappears."Know,Dipper,boy......I could give you what you wanted...."
I shut my eyes."Thanks Stan,but there's only one thing I want.To get you out of this bubble."
Stan rolled his eyes."I'm sure when you see this,you'll forget about that."
He started to clap his hands,but I ran away,not wanting to be deceived.Ford followed me,heavy footsteps trailing on my tail.
"Dipper!Wait up!"he yells.
Anger filled me up."Leave me alone Ford.I need to figure out how to get Stan out of here,and your'e not HELPING AT ALL!You just make him angrier.And now I think about it,what he said is true.You are a little selfish know it all,that 'thank you' was so halfhearted!He spent all those years!"
I put my hands over my ears and storm off.I know what Ford's going to say.He caused this rift that could end the world,blah,blah,blah.
Soon I became tired.I sighed and leaned against a rock.It was hopeless.....I had lost everyone close to me.I had Ford but I let him go.
                I stared off at the sunrise.It really was beautiful.At least I had something to appreciate to at this dark moment.I felt tears blurring my vision.
               I wiped them off,the scruff of my sleeve hurting my eyes.Footsteps approached.I turned around to see Wendy.
               "Oh....hey."I said halfheartedly,not wanting to start a conversation."Thought you were hanging out with your friends."
             "That got boring fast.You were right about this place."she threw a stone off into the river."Your'e so smart,like about everything."
              I blushed a bit,even though my feelings towards her were long over."Really?"
              "Yeah.If we were like the same age,you and me could-I don't know,be together."
              Red filled my face,sweat all over my cheeks."You-you mean it?"
"Yeah!If we ask Mabel,maybe she could make us the same age!Take my hand,man."Wendy held out her hand.
Don't listen to her!It's an illusion!My paranoid voice yelled to me in my head.
You always wanted that.Says a different,calmer voice.
It's a trick!The paranoid voice yells louder.
I put out my hand,ready to trust the calm voice,but then-she winked.
The paranoid voice took control and I scrambled back."I-this isn't real!"I yelled,backing away.
               'Wendy' turned out to be a pile of centipedes,each one of them crawling away.I stood up,terrified at the horrors of what I saw.
               Suddenly,the sky turned dark.A woman turned over to look at me,only her eyes were GLOWING.
               "You shouldn't have done that Dipper!"she yells.
               Then in a second,everything returns to as it was.
               I looked around and sighed."I wish that I could be back to reality again.....and Stan would come to....."
               For a second,everything is dead-silent.No one speaks.Then two buff ladies march towards me,spears pointed against me.
              "It's time we send you back to where you belong."One of them snaps her fingers,and a void appears.
               She grabs my vest and holds me up.Stan runs toward her,yelling,"WAIT STOP!"
              And she does.Pauses in her tracks.
              "Don't do that!"Ford yells.
               "What are you doing here?"Stan arches an eyebrow at Ford.
                 He shrugs.
                "Well,I guess we'll have to go to court.An epic battle of reality vs fantasy."The other buff lady says and leads us towards the courtroom.
                  Hopefully I win this battle,because if I don't-I will never,ever see Stan,Soos,Wendy and Ford ever again.
