《Runaway (Dipcifica)》Chapter 3: Thumbs
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

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

"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.

The Lay of the Black Doors
Nikha von Kranssov awakens one sunny morning to find that things have gone all wrong: Her maid has been murdered, her father is missing, and her house, Eldergrave Manor, is far larger and less familiar than it should be.

Be warned that the story involves frightening situations and occasional dark themes, as well as some violence and gore. Weekly updates. No longer on hiatus! The cover image is not mine. It is "The Drawbridge," a 1761 engraving by Giovanni Battista Piranesi.

Tales of the 33rd universe - A Mech Designer story
Meet Marcus Caelum, since young he wanted nothing else to play with mechs. He studied, worked hard and he finally did it, now he is a Mech Designer (provisional).He achieved his dream and now is the time for realization, he now will learn that not all is great, that there are things to learn and that if he wants to do the job well he better adapt. Cover taken from a Battletech manual. This is my "first" novel so do forgive the quality a bit.It is mostly a Slice of life following what I believe a Mech Designer life would be. It will have action, science, comedy, dark moments and some adventure. It will barely have any romance and little actual combat (he won't go off fighting enemies everywhere, the MC is not a fighter). It's medium sci-fi, most hard science with some mana altering normal materials.The pacing is a bit slow, it takes some time for the story to advance.The first arc is completed and the novel is until further notice on HIATUS.I may continue the Tales of the 47th Universe to try my hand at another style and pacing. More info in chapter 22.
