Dipper's POV

(y/n), Mabel, Wendy, and I were all at the gift shop minding our own business. I was reading a journal, when a question popped into my head.

Dipper: Girls, do you believe in ghost?

Mabel: I believe you're a big dork!!! *laughs*

Dipper: *pokes his pencil on the globe making it stop as Mabel falls off* (y/n)?

You: Uh, duh!!! That isn't a question!!!

Stan: *enters* Soos, (y/n)!!!

You and Soos: *go to Stan*

Soos: *pants* What's up Mr. Pines?!?

Stan: I'm heading out, you three are gonna wash the bathrooms right?

Soos: Yes sir!

You: Yeah, how 'bout no.

Stan: Haha, you stay out of trouble. *walks away*

You: Hey guys, wanna see something cool? What's this~? *pull off a curtain revealing a ladder* A secret ladder to the roof?!?

Soos: Uh, I don't think Mr. Pines would like that...

You: Huh~?

Soos: Uh...

You: Huh~?!?

Soos: You're freaking me out dude!!!

Dipper: Can we actually go up there?!?

You: Wanna find out~?!? *as you climbs up* Roof time! Roof time!

Dipper and Mabel: *follow you* Roof time! Roof time!

We follow (y/n) to the roof, and we climb to arrive at a small flat area where there was a beach chair, a cooler, and even an umbrella.

Dipper: You put all this stuff up here?!?

You: I may or may not sneak up here during work all the time everyday. *take a pinecone and throws it, hitting a target on the totem pole* Yes!!!

Dipper and Mabel: *start throwing pinecones*

You: *take a pinecone and throw it, hitting a target on a far off tree*

Dipper: *takes a pinecone and throws it which hits a car, then he turns a bit red in embarrassment*

You: Jackpot!!! High five!!! *offer a high five*

Dipper: ...

You: Don't leave me hanging!!!

Dipper: *smiles and high fives you*

You: *here a car honking and look at the forest to see a van pull up*

Wendy: *steps out of it* Yo, (y/n)!!!

You: Hey, Wen!!!

Wendy: Me and my friends are gonna hit the cemetery, wanna join?!?

You: You bet!!! *look back at the twins* Hey, you guys won't like, tell Stan or anything, right?

Mabel: My lips are sealed!!!

Dipper: *zips his mouth with his finger*

You: *smile* Later! *jump down some trees and enter the van as it drives away*

Dipper: Later, (y/n)!!! *laughs awkwardly and sighs* Good times.

Mabel: Uh-oh~!

Dipper: What?

Mabel: Somebody's in love~!!!

Dipper: Yeah right! I just think (y/n)'s cool, okay? It's not like I lay awake at night thinking about her.

Late that night, that same night, I was awake on my bed thinking about her.

... oh boy.

...

...

...

The next day, Wendy, (y/n), and Mabel were by the counter as I pretended to write something down when...

Mabel: RANDOM DANCE PARTY FOR NO REASON!!!!!! *turns on the boombox*

You, Mabel, and Wendy: *start to dance*

Dipper: *writes something on a checklist board and nods*

You: Pine Hat!!!

Dipper: *almost drops his checklist board* W-wha-wha- yes?

You: Aren't you gonna join us?!?

Dipper: I uh don't really dance...

Mabel: Yeah you do!!! Mom used to dress him up in a lamb costume and make him do The Lamby Dance...!!!

Dipper: Now is not the time to talk about the Lamby Dance...!

Wendy: Lamb costume?!?

You: Like with ears and a tail or-?

Dipper: Well uh-huh...

Mabel: *takes out a picture of young Dipper in the lamb costume* Dipper would prance around and sing a song about grazing!

You: OH MY FREAKING GOODNESS!!! That's aDORABLE!!!

Dipper: Mabel!!!!!

Mabel: *laugh*

Cuckoo Clock: *rings*

Wendy: Hey look at that!

You: Woo, quit'n time!!!

You and Wendy: *take off your name tags*

You: The gang's waiting for us!

Dipper: Hey!!! Wait!!! Maybe I could- or we could come with you!!!

Wendy: Ooh, I don't know, my friends are pretty intense. How old did you say you are?

Dipper: We're thirteen, so technically a teen!!!

Wendy: Alright, I like your moxie kid, let me get my stuff. *leave*

You: Ok! *give Dipper a smile*

Dipper: *blushes and smiles back*

Outside was a group of teenagers. Two of them, one had long blonde hair and light skin wearing some laid back clothing while the other had dark brown hair and dark skin with a cap along with kind of edgy clothing, were holding a shirtless chubby light skinned brunette from his legs.

At the other side was a total goth looking guy with pale skin and pitch black hair who was throwing little balls at the shirtless guy. Next to him was an emo girl with tanned skin and burgundy hair texting on her phone.

Just then, Wendy came out and through a tiny ball which landed on the shirtless guy's belly button catching everyone's attention.

Wendy's Friends: Wendy, (y/n)!!!

Wendy: Hey guys!

You: These are our pals from work: Mabel andDipper.

Mabel: I chewed my gum so it looks like a brain!!! *pulls out her tongue showing the gum*

Dipper: She's not much for first impressions, unlike this guy!!! *points at himself*

...

Dipper: This guy...

Guy 3: So are you like babysitting or...?

Wendy: Pfft, c'mon, Robbie. Guys, this is Lee and Nate,

Nate: *punches Lee's gut*

Lee: *grunts*

Nate and Lee: *laugh*

Wendy: Tambry,

Tambry: *without looking up from her phone* Hey.

Wendy: Thompson, who once ate a run over waffle for fifty cents,

Thompson: Don't tell them that...

Wendy: And Robbie, you can probably figure him out.

Robbie: Yeah, I'm the guy who spray painted the water tower.

Dipper: Oh you mean the big muffin!

Robbie: Um, it's a giant explosion.

Everyone: *looks at the water tower*

You: *snicker as you hold in a laugh*

Lee: Hehe, kinda does look like a muffin.

Nate and Lee: *laugh*

Robbie: *glares at Dipper who smiles awkwardly*

Wendy: Let's hurry it up, guys, I've got big plans for tonight, huh?!?

You, Dipper, Mabel, Wendy, and Wendy's Friends: *get in the van*

Thompson: Ok, just before we go, my mom said you guys aren't allowed to punch the roof anymore...

Wendy, Nate, Lee, and Robbie: *as the punch the roof multiple times* Thompson!!! Thompson!!! Thomson!!!

Wendy: There it is, fellas. The condemned Dust to Dawn.

Wendy's Friends: Woah...!!!

Mabel: Neto!

Dipper: But why did they shut it down, it's like a health code violation or...?

Nate: Try murder!!!

Lee: Some folks died in there, the place has been haunted ever since! 

Mabel: This town has such a colorful history!

You: I know, it's awesome...!!!

Dipper: What? Are you guys serious?

Wendy: Yeah, we're all gonna die! Chill out man, it's not as bad as it looks!

Everyone but Dipper and Lee: *jump to the other side*

Wendy: C'mon Dipper!

Dipper: Haha, ok, ok, just just just uh, gotta get a foothold.

Robbie: Dude, you're sister did it!

Mabel: *does some weird circles on the ground* Woop woop woop woop woop!!!

Lee: Hey, you know what, just- *picks Dipper up and drops him at the other side*

You: !!! *catch him bridal style*

Dipper: !!!!!!!! *turns deep red*

You: Lee, what the heck?!?

Lee: Sorry, (y). *jumps down* It was the fastest way!

You: *put him down* Yeah well he could've gotten hurt!!!

Lee: Alright, sorry, geez...!

You: Hmph! *go with Wendy*

Dipper: ...

Nate: Good job throwing the kid off the fence genius.

Lee: You're mom's a genius.

Robbie: *tries to open the door*

Wendy: *looks through the window* Woahohoho, this place is amazing!

Robbie: *pulls the doors* Think it's stuck.

Dipper: Let me take a crack at it!

Robbie: Oh yeah, I can't get it, but I'm sure junior here is gonna break it down like Hercules.

Wendy: Come on, leave him alone, he's just a little kid.

I had already embarrassed myself too many times before... I needed to do this.

Dipper: *smiles at you before a sense of determination hits him, he then goes around the corner and climbs on the dumpster and unto the roof*

Tambry: Whoa, kid, what are you doing?!?

Wendy's Friends: *murmur*

Dipper: *punches the vent until it breaks*

Mabel: Go, Dipper!!! Punch that metal thing!!!

Dipper: *enters the vent*

Wendy: Hey, Dipper, take it easy!!!

Robbie: Who wants to bet he doesn't make it?

Dipper: *opens the door from inside*

Lee: Good call inviting this little maniac! *enters the store*

Tambry: *enters the store*

Nate: Your new name is Dr. Fun Times! *enters the store*

Thompson: Alright! *enters the store*

Mabel: *high fives Dipper and enters the store*

Robbie: *enters the store ignoring Dipper*

Wendy: *punches Dipper playfully* Nice work! *enters the store*

You: *wink before entering the store*

Thompson: Do you guys really think it's haunted?

Lee: Psh, nah, Thomps, are you kidding me?

Nate: C'mon, shut up, man.

Everyone: *look around in awe before separating*

Wendy: Hoho, man, it's even creepier than I imagined.

Mabel: *passes her finger on something then licks her finger* Yep, it's dust!

Dipper: *takes a newspaper and wipes off the dust*

Lee: Hey dude, where do you think they keep the dead bodies?

Nate: *laughs* Shut up, man.

Wendy: Guys, check it out! *points at some switches* You think they still work? *flips up the switches making everything turn on*

Everyone: *looks around in awe*

Mabel: Jackpot!!!

Dipper: So what are we gonna do now?

Wendy: Anything we want.

Long story short, we actually had a blast!!! After a while Mabel ran off and I lost track of her. I wonder where she had gone of to. Oh well, I'm sure she's fine.

(y/n) and I were sitting next on some shelves as we all ate ice cream.

Nate: Hey, come here, man!!! We got it ready!!!

Thompson: Whatever it is, I'll do it!!!

You: *laughs* Thompson!!! Pine Hat, this night is like legendary!

Dipper: Really?!?

You: Just look around! The guys are bonding, I've never even seen Tambry looking up from her phone this long, and even Robbie's having a fun time! I'm glad you came with us!

I couldn't help but smile. Finally, I wasn't a total embarrassment!

Nate: Hey guys, we need more ice!!!

Dipper: I'm on it! *jumps down*

I go to the ice box and take a bag. However, the air suddenly became cold, and I started to feel as if I were being watched.

I slowly look up to see a face, but it didn't have skin nor muscles, nor a skull, just the organs. I threw the ice bag away as I screamed and closed the door.

After catching my breath I cautiously open the door again to see it was empty. What just happened?!?

Lee: What was that? I thought I heard some lady screaming back here.

Nate: You freaking out, kid?

Dipper: Eh, no! No, I'm cool! Everything's cool!

Robbie: *points at the spilled ice bag on the floor* Then what's all this about?

Dipper: Oh! That's uh- uh... *gasp* Hey look! Dancy Pants Revolution!!! The game that tricks people into exercising!!!

Wendy and Wendy's Friends: *go to play the game*

You: *glare at Dipper as you raise an eyebrow*

Dipper: *smiles at you awkwardly*

I couldn't tell her, she would think I'm a wimp...

Shortly after (y/n) left I went to join Wendy and the gang. Thompson was the one playing while the others chanted 'Go'.

I look out the window and see our reflections. Except something was terrible wrong. We were skeletons! I desperately rubbed my eyes and looked again. We were normal. I started to think this place really was haunted and decided to call Stan. Unfortunately he didn't pick up. I then ran to Mabel.

Dipper: Mabel, I need your advice. We're hanging out at a haunted convenience store, I can't get a hold of Grunkle Stan, and if I try to say anything about it to any of these guys they'll just think I'm a scared little kid or something!!!

Mabel: *groans*

Mabel: Bleventeen...

Dipper: Oh man, oh man oh man oh man...!!!

Robbie: *from behind the register counter* Whoa guys, you might want to see this!

Everyone: *gathers around to see the shapes of two bodies on the ground*

Lee: Whoa, then the rumors are true!

Dipper: *gulps*

Robbie: Dude, I dare you to lie down in it!

Lee: Good idea! *nudges Nate* Go lie down in it!

Nate: *in a dumb voice* Heh, I'm a dead body, look! *is about to step on the line*

Dipper: Wait!!! Maybe let's not do that!

Lee: This guy's scared~

Dipper: All I'm saying is: why attempt the fate? I mean, what if this place really is... haunted...?

Wendy and Her Friends: *start to boo Dipper*

Robbie: Oh yeah, just take it down a notch, Captain Buzzkill.

Dipper: But I thought I was Dr. Fun Times!

Robbie: Well, you're acting like Captain Buzzkill, right?

Nate, Lee, and Tambry: *nod*

Wendy: ...yeah, maybe a little...

Tambry: Status update, trapped in store with insane nine year old.

I looked at (y/n) who was glaring at the others, then gave me an apologetic look. I looked down, getting an idea.

Dipper: *walks into the lines of the body* I'm not a nine year old!!!!! I'm thirteen, technically a teen!!!! *lays on the lines of the body*

You: Pine-!!!

Everyone: *sees the lines start to glow a bright green making everything turn off*

Tambry: *dissolves dropping her phone*

Wendy, Lee, and Nate: *gasp*

You: *pick up Tambry's phone*

Dipper: *reads from over your shoulder* "Statues update: Ahhhhhhh!!!"

Tambry: *appears inside a tv monitor, then bangs on the glass* AHHHHH!!!

You, Dipper, Wendy, Nate, Lee, and Robbie: AHHHHH!!!

Wendy: Tambry!!! Tambry!!!

Dipper: Can you hear us?!?!?

Tambry: *looks around terrified*

You: I think that's a no...!!!

Nate: What are we supposed to do?!?!?

Lee: I don't know, man, I don't know!!!

Robbie: Let's just go already!!!

Wendy: Thompson!!!

Thompson: *still playing Dancy Pants Revolution* Wait!!! *pants* Almost got the high score!!! *dissolves and appears inside the game screen* Huh? What?

Game: Time to shake what your mama gave you!!!

Thompson: Oh no!!! *tries to avoid the now falling arrows as they stab him in multiple areas* So many arrows!!!

Game: You're a dance machine!!!

Thompson: No you're a dance machine!!! *cries*

Dipper: Oh no...!!!

Wendy: Thompson!!!

Robbie: Forget him!!! Let's go!!!

Doors: *close shut*

Wendy: *tries to push them open* What the-?!? Guys, it's locked!!!

Robbie: *takes the cash register* Out of my way!!!! *throws it at the door which dissolves into nothing*

You, Wendy, Nate, Lee, and Robbie: AHH!!!

Dipper: Everybody, wait!!! Whatever is doing this has to have some kind of reason!!! *takes out his journal and starts searching through it* Maybe if we can just figure out what it is then they'll let us out of here!!!

Robbie: Uh, they'll let us out of here!!! Yeah that makes a lot of sense!!!

You: Do you have any better ideas?!?!?

Wendy: Guys, maybe he has a point!!!

Lee: Yeah right, I'm sure the ghost just wants to talk about his feelings!!! *starts to float and dissolves, then appears on the front of a cereal box called Lee's*

Toucan: I'm bonkers for eating you!!!

Lee: NO!!! *gets stabbed by the toucan's spoon as you all look away*

Nate: Lee!!! Ok ok, I'm with you, kid, one hundred percent, man...!!!

???: Welcome!!!

You, Dipper, Wendy, Nate, and Robbie: AHH!!!

Dipper: They got Mabel!!!

Mabel: Welcome to your graves, young trespassers!!! *laughs evilly*

Wendy: W-w-we're super sorry for hanging out in your store!!!

Dipper: Yeah, can we just go now and leave forever?!?

You: We promise you we'll never come back!!!

Mabel: Well, ok. You're free to go. *opens the doors* But before you leave, hotdogs are now half off. I know it might be crazy, but you gotta try these dogs!!!

Nate and Robbie: AHHHHH!!!! *run to the door which close on their faces*

Mabel: Just kidding about the hotdog sale!!!

Nate: *getting pulled back by Robbie* Just let us out of here already!!!

Mabel: I don't like your tone!!!

Nate: *floats and dissolves before appearing on the hotdog machine* What?!? No!!! I'm a hotdog!!!

Mabel: It begins!!!

The ghost starts to make everything float, including myself. Gravity was reversed, and everything was pulled up.

Mabel: Welcome to your home for all eternity!!!

You: What do we do?!?

Dipper: Duck!!! *pushes you down before getting hit by things*

You: *point at an empty cabinet* Quick, in there!!!

You and Dipper: *hide in the cabinet*

You: What do they want from us?!?

Dipper: Revenge I guess?!?

You: What did we do wrong?!?

Dipper: Ok, let's try to figure out the pattern here! Why was each person taken?!? Tambry was texting,

You: Thompson was playing a videogame-

Dipper: Lee was being sarcastic, it doesn't make any sense!!!

You: Yeah, I mean those are all just normal teenager things!!!

Dipper: Wait, (y/n), say that last part again?

You: Normal teenage things?

Dipper: Of course!!! Stay here until I get back!!! *leaves the cabinet*

You: Wait, what are-?!? DIPPER, GET BACK HERE!!!

Dipper: Hey ghost!!!

Mabel: *turns her head in a 360* Yes? *turns her body and makes Dipper float*

Dipper: I've got something to tell you!!! I'm not a teenager!!!

Dipper was dropped and Mabel's eyes turned back to normal. Behind her were two people er-, ghost. They seemed of age. They were holding unto Mabel.

Male Ghost: Ohoho, well why didn't you say so?!? *drops Mabel* How old did you say you were?

Dipper: I'm... I'm twelve... technically not a teen...

Female Ghost: When we were alive, teenagers were a scourge on our store!

Male Ghost: Always sassafrassin customers with their boomie boxes and disrespectful short pants. So we decided to up and ban, but they retaliated with this new flanged rap music!

Female Ghost: The lyrics, they were so... hateful! Oh my, so shocking! We were stricken down with double heart attacks. That's why we hate teenagers so much! Isn't that right honey?

Ghosts: *nuzzle their noses lovingly*

Dipper: But they're my friends, isn't there anything I can do to help them?

Male Ghost: Well, there is one thing. Do you know any funny little dances?

Dipper: Is there anything else I can do?

Male Ghost: *turns into a fire being* NOOOO!!!!

Dipper: Ok ok ok!!! Um, well, I do know the Lamby Lamby dance..., but uh I can't really do it without a lamb costume.

Male Ghost: *snaps his fingers making Dipper's outfit change into a lamb costume*

Dipper: Oh, well, there it is... *takes a deep breath* Welllllllllllll, who wants the lamby lamby lamby, I do, I do! So go up and greet your mamy mamy mamy, hi there, hi there! So march march march around-

Male Ghost: Yes, yes, more! More!!!

Dipper: Don't don't don't you forget about the babyyyyy!!! *puts a finger on his cheek making an adorable pose*

Male Ghost: That was some fine girly dancin' boy. Your friends are free. *opens the doors and gives Dipper his clothes back*

Dipper: Well, I don't think you have to worry about us coming back so...

Ghosts: *disappear causing everyone to turn back to normal and for gravity to return to normal making everyone fall down*

Everyone: *crawls out and stand up*

Dipper: *goes to Mabel*

Mabel: *grunts* I'm never gonna eat or do anything ever again...!

Dipper: *picks up a smile dip bag* Hey there's still some left!

Mabel: *slaps it off his hand* Evil!!!

Lee: Wha... what happened after everything went crazy?

You: You are not going to believe it! The ghost appeared and Dipper had to-

Dipper: ...

You: Uh... ahem, and uh... Dipper just grabbed a bat and started beating the ghost done left and right! And then the ghost got all scared and ran away like a couple of little girls. It was awesome!!!

Wendy's Friends: *cheer for Dipper*

You: *does the secret sign*

Dipper: *returns the sign*

After that, we go back to the van. Almost everyone was asleep.

Mabel: groans and reads what she wrote earlier* What kind of sick joke is this...?

You: *snicker as you hold in your laugh*

Dipper: ... hey, uh... thanks for not telling the others what really happened...

You: No problem. Besides, the others are stupid, everyone knows ghosts are see and feel through.

You and Dipper: *laugh*

You: Also, you didn't have to lie about your age. I would've allowed you to come with us even if you were five. And honestly? You made this hang out a lot more fun than the others.

Dipper: Really...?!?

You: Yeah, the others are kinda boring, to be honest. I mean Robbie's super annoying, Tambry's always on her phone, Lee and Nate always competing against each others, it's exhausting.

Dipper: *snickers*

You: Next time we hang out though? Let's stay at the shack, deal?

Dipper: ... *smiles* Deal.

I really did like (y/n), a lot. I could name so many reasons why. And even though I knew she'd never return my feelings towards her...

Well...

One could only hope.

Thanks for reading!!! 'Till next time!!!

❤️❤️❤️
