Advertisement
Dipper and Pacifica are now on the outskirts of town, they are now near a town named Martinsville.
"What time is it?" Pacifica asked.
Dipper checks his phone.
"Almost 11 pm," said Dipper.
"Ugh, Serriously, its almost tomorrow and I'm starving," said Pacifica.
"I think there's a diner nearby," said Dipper.
"It could be closed," said Pacifica.
"Most Diners are open 24 hours a day just so drunk people have a place to go get food at 2AM," said Dipper.
Just like that, they find a local diner.
"How do you..."
"My family used to go on Roadtrips a lot," said Dipper.
Dipper and Pacifica walk into to see a 50's style diner, somewhat similar to a Johnny Rockets.
Dipper and Pacifica sit down and our handed two menus.
"What are you going to get?" Dipper asked.
"I don't know something filling we'll be going around for awhile," said Pacifica.
"I'm sorry I have to ask, where are you trying to go?" Dipper asked.
"The one place my dad would never go," said Pacifica, "Malibu, California."
"Why there?" Dipper asked.
"I don't know he hates beautiful things," said Pacifica, "Which is ironic because he buys beauty products for my mom in bulk?"
They then got their food, Pacifica got pancakes while Dipper got a Turkey club sandwich.
After that the check came.
"I got this," said Pacifica.
Pacifica goes throw her bag grabs a hundred dollar bill.
"Are you trying to piss a place that don't take bills over 20 off?" Dipper asked.
"The waitress will keep the change," said Pacifica.
"That's an $82 tip," said Dipper.
"I know Math, I maybe blonde but I'm not dumb," said Pacifica. (words to live by)

The waitress then comes for the check.
"Keep the change," said Pacifica.
"I was already going to I own this place," said the waitress.
As they got up to leave they notices a photo booth looking thing, that read the words, "Karaoke Power."
"Huh most diners usually have Mario game cabinets," said Dipper.
"Wby don't we try it out?" Pacifica asked.
"Are you sure?" Dipper asked.
"Hey doesn't hurt to have a little fun running away," said Pacifica.
Pacifica walks into the booth.
"Welcome to Karaoke Power," said the machine, "Insert $5 to play."
"$5 what a rip," said Pacifica.
Pacifica pokes her head out.
"You wouldn't happen to have $5 on yah?" Pacifica asked.
"What you can't break a $100?" Dipper asked.
"That's littlerally the only king of bills I have," said Pacifica.
Dipper goes into his wallet and pulls out a $5 bill.
"You owe me," said Dipper.
"Deal," said Pacifica.
Pacifica inserts the $5 bill.
"Select your song," said The machine.
Pacifica looks through the song list and chooses one.
"3 2 1, Go," said The machine.

Somewhere in the world there is a father and a mother
And the father is a son, who has a mother
The mother has a daughter who gets married to the brother of a mother
And they all just tryna multiply with one another
'Cause that's just the way of the world
It never ends till the end, then you start again
That's just the way of the world
That's just the way of the world
Somewhere in the world they think they're working for themselves
They get up everyday to go to work for someone else
And somebody works for them and so they think they've got it made

Somewhere in the world you got a robber and a bank
And the bank robbed the people, so the people rob the bank
And the police came to get him but they let him get away
'Cause they're all just workin' to get paid the very same
'Cause that's just the way of the world
It never ends till the end, then you start again
That's just the way of the world
That's just the way of the world
And so they keep on twiddlin' them thumbs

Don't just march to the beat of that drum
Don't be one of them people just twiddlin' them thumbs
'Cause that's just the way of the world
It never ends till the end and then you start again
That's just the way of the world

"Congrats you got 100%, Great Job," said The Machine.
"Uh Pacifica," said Dipper.
Pacifica walks out of the booth and sees a black car outside.
"Dipper," said Pacifica.
"Yeah?" Dipper asked.
"Run!" said Pacifica.
Dipper and Pacifica run out the backdoor of the diner.

Beyond the Horizon's Eye
It is less than two weeks after the event known as the Flux Causality, and two days after the Grand Council has put forth the edict demanding the immediate retrieval and deletion of all Stringhoppers. Finding such Travelers, however, is proving more difficult than expected. A young boy and his sister find themselves violently taken from their world to another, and soon thereafter are forcibly separated. Now sold into slavery, the young man must find not only a reason to survive but a purpose to carry him home. The journey has just begun, and the hardest step is always the first one. ~ This is my attempt at both the Xianxia/Wuxia and Portal/Isekai genre of fiction that I love, and the means to provide a story set in such guidelines, while distancing myself from some of the more common tropes. I do hope you enjoy the story I shall endeavor to tell. ~ Average post between 1000 - 3000 words. This is a work in progress, and will be edited and adjusted over time. If you’re interested in something a bit more GameLIT, you might want to check out my second story on Royal Road, “The Dawnfire Archives”. My newest story is a combination of both genres, but with a female main character at the helm. Feel free to check out "The Card Thief of Culnivar"!
