we 'woke up' sitting on a gray strip of land covered in fog. everybody took a look around in awe, shock, and confusion. we all got up and started walking around.
"woahh" everybody spoke at the same time.
"yep, welcome to stan's mind." I said unfazed, looking at the 8-ball sun with the creepy old shack Infront, and the creaky swing gives me horror movie vibes every time. (not saying they are scary, they just give the vibe)
"woahhh this is stan's mind?" Mabel asked.
"did you hear what I just said-" I asked.
"huh. figured there would be a lot more hot old ladies." Soos mentioned. (heh, very glad there isn't.)
"alright everyone, we've got to look out for the triangle guy" Mabel said looking around.
3.
2.
"yeah look for the triangle guy!" bill said spinning his cane. damnit bill you messed up my dramatic-but-sarcastic countdown.
"its him! its the guy!" Soos said.
"great job Soos, you solved the mystery. now we can go home" I said sarcastically.
"really?" he said, hopeful.
"no, I was being sarcastic, idiot." I said coldly. god, I wonder how much of space and time I mess up with just by my remarks alone.
"you leave our great uncle alone you isosceles monster!" Mabel shouted and ran into bill warping through his body while bill brought out a hand watch and did a countdown. (like I was TRYING to do.)
"gotcha!" she screamed "wait, what!?" she said looking behind her.
I got bored and started floating around in stan's mind. I wonder if mind-popcorn tastes just as good as normal popcorn. oh. fuck, now I sound like Soos. I popped a kernel into my mouth. yep, tastes like air. what did I expect.
"ah, stan's family." man, why does everybody say that Soos is in his family, my god. your a all-knowing triangle for gods sake. also is he just ignoring me? god I really am a fucking side character huh. I'm just up here floating, don't mind me. "we meet at last! question mark, shooting star, pine tree." he said moving his fingers over each one stopping at me in confused. can he not read my mind? or do I just not have a zodiac. personally I'm find with either of those really. "I had a hunch I might bump into you." he said as he shot dipper in the chest, I gave a light giggle at his reaction.
"aAAahhHhH"
"man dipper, you scream like a little girl that caught on fire." I stated calmly as Mabel stuck her hand into his chest-hole.
"I HAVE A HOLE IN MY CHEST. HOW ARE YOU CALM?"
"I'm floating, why wouldn't I be? also Mabel's hand is literally in your chest"
"HOW???"
"how is Mabel's hand in your chest? I don't know. maybe cause you got the hole in it?"
"No, the FLOATING BIT!"
"no need to yell, sheesh."
he waited for the proper answer.
"simple answer: the mindscape is cool." I said bluntly.
"the WHAT?"
"so much for Mr. brainiac over here, did journal number three really not mention anything about the mindscape? I don't remember, I haven't read it in a hot bit, last time I checked my friend was 'borrowing' it from me." I said looking at the group as I teased dipper to find that bill was the only one mildly amused. dang it, I'm unappreciated in my time.
"WHAT?" this kid, is 'what' like the only word he knows?
"nothing." I said looking back at bill who was patiently tapping his cane on the wood waiting for my dialogue to end.
"what do you want with our uncles mind anyway!" dipper said looking at bill
"oh just the code to the old man's safe. inside that shack is a maze of a thousand doors representing your uncles memories. behind one of them is a memory of him imputing the code" bill explained "I just need to find it and Gideon will pay me handsomely."
"not if we stop you!" Mabel screamed.
sigh. this kid.
"hah! fat chance. I'm the master of the mind! I even know what your thinking right now!" bill said.
"that's impossible! nobody can guess what I'm thinking." she protested.
moments before bill made the boy-band guys appear I said "Mabel, I don't know about you (well, I do.) but your a open book. clearly your thinking about those random boys from that dream boy high movie." after I said it everybody looked at me even bill.
"what? he was going to summon them anyway?" I said. summoning them myself to not mess up the timeline to bad. dipper looked at me funny but looked back at bill.
"Woah, where are we bro?" Xyler said.
"we must be in heaven, cause I just saw an angel." Craz said clearly talking about Mabel.
"I'm never letting go of your leg!" Mabel said attaching herself to Craz's leg
"your out of your league kids! turn around now before you see something you might regret." he said twirling his cane yet again. "later suckers!" he said as he tipped his hat off paused to stare at me, and broke the wall.
"damn. the demon just broke the fucking wall. cool." I said enjoying the scene and floating down to their height
"no! not cool! not cool at all!" dipper said yelling at me and pointing his finger at my face. "you caused him to get away!"
"ugh calm down kid, I knew this scene would happen, I just sped it up."
"are you psychic?" Mabel asked, hopeful.
"yes, but no. maybe so?" I said unsure of my status.
"what? how can that-?" dipper started
"look kid, the sooner you let go of logic and reality the sooner things you can understand this town, its full of plot twists and all sorts of strange things." man, this kid, if bill doesn't like him I wouldn't be surprised, I swear you have to explain everything to him.
"says the person who fell from the sky!" he retorted.
"huh, Mabel told you about that? when?" I asked
"what?"
"well, I was watching you two the whole time. when did you talk about it?"
"anyway, we are going in." dipper said determined. and ignoring me
"Uh, sir, are you just going to ignore me? really? god, this must be why you're the main character. at least antagonists don't ignore other's potential- actually wait they do, that's how like four thirds of them lose." I said mumbling out loud.
"what are you going on about?" Mabel asked.
"nothing, lets just go in." I said floating towards the doorway
"Mabel, can we leave those guys out here? looking at them hurts my eyes." dipper said, he wasn't wrong they were pretty bright but in the end he was overexaggerating.
"no! they can help us!" Mabel said.
wow. ignoring me, your biggest help. actually fuck you, I'm going to be a anti-hero/anti-villian.
"totally!" Xyler and Craz say together. "arm throne!"
Mabel giggles and dipper groans.
"dude! arm throne!" soos says. "arm throone. armmm thronne" dipper screams and runs inside
ugh, those idiots. onward I guess. hope I don't run into any dream demons. *cough* bill, I'm looking at you *cough*

a/n: if you have any ideas for random scenes before the main plot that I can use as filler chapters (so I don't have to steal everything from the series) I'm willing to snatch them from you! (credit will be given at the end of the book if requested)
