Gravity Falls REBORN

He Is What He Seems

As I browse my laptop late at night, I suddenly start to float in mid-air, bumping my head shortly after because of how high I already am to the ceiling. "Really?" I whisper, rubbing my now tender head. I look down to see Dipper is also floating, and by the little thump from underneath me, I assume Mabel hit the bunk. After the little gravity surge, I finally fall asleep.

~~Some time later; 5:56 AM~~

I shoot straight up in bed, breathing heavily, tremendously out of breath. I grip my chest. My heart feels like it's beating a million miles a minute. I try to steady my breathing but to no avail. Panicking, I rush out of bed and jump onto the floor. I run out of the room and lock myself in the bathroom, sitting by the toilet in only an over-large sleep shirt. I forgot my phone on my bed, so now I'm stuck here on the bathroom floor, nauseous, but the ground is comfy for the time being.

The door knob wobbles, jostling me from my daze in and out of consciousness. "Hey, what gives?" the voice calls out from the other side. 'Oh my gosh, what is Grunkle Stan doing up so early!?'  I panic and get up too fast, banging my knee on the underside of the toilet bowl. I recoil and clench my teeth, seething in pain. 'Freak, freak, freak!' I jump on one leg.

"Eh? Uh, heh- hey Grunkle Stan! What-what're you doin' here?" I try a conversation as I figure out a way to cover myself up.

He grumbles to himself before speaking, "Eh? Macie? What're you doin' with the door locked and the lights off?"

In my haste, I forgot the lights were still off, so I flick them on. "Uh, just sitting in the bathroom, that's- that's normal, right?" I feel like such a tool right now. "Do we have any spare towels?" I ask after he doesn't seem to want to respond.

"Err..." he trails off. 

"Ugh! Just- can you get Mabel for me?!" I say irritably, my knee still throbbing.

"Yeesh alright!" I hear the man walk off and mumble, "Girls..."

*Sigh*

"Here ya go, literally had to drag her out of bed..." Stan's voice tells me then I feel him leave soon after. 

"Mace? What's up!? I had a dream about some unicorns and it was awesome! But then Stan came along and dragged me out of bed. I was mad at first but then he said your name and here I am!" Mabel goes off in a tangent as I only half listen.

"Okay, Mabel, thanks for coming. I need you to grab me some clothes, please." I can practically feel her tilting her head.

"Uh, yeah no prob, what's up?" I turn on the sink and start washing my hands.

"Nothi-look, can I just have my clothes please?" As you can  tell, I am not in the mood for talking about my problems at the moment. The indication that she left was the pitter-patter of her socked feet scurrying along the floor.

A minute passes and I open the door to let her hand me my clothes. I slip them on and then open the door fully, allowing the young girl in. "Heya!" she gleams.

"Heyyyy, okay I know you want an explanation, and I'm sure Stan does, too," I start.

"You're darn tootin' right I want an explanation!" I hear from downstairs. I shake my head, as does Mabel but she giggles.

"FIIINE! Let's go downstairs, then." Mabel follows me into the kitchen.

Sitting at the table, two pairs of eyes don't blink and don't move from mine. 'Yup. This is creepy.'  "Sooo?" Mabel gestures for me to talk.

"Ugh! I woke up early this morning drenched in sweat and breathing heavily. I didn't feel good so I went to the bathroom and sat on the ground, probably falling asleep at one point or another but I don't know. And NO, I do not know why I woke up like that, nor do I remember if I had a nightmare. Any questions?" They just gape at me. "What? You wanted to know!" I pout.
