Meanwhile back at the Northwest Estate:
"Dammit they destroyed the tracking device and that Pines boy can't be traced," said Preston.
Preston then takes a sip of water.
"That's it, release the drones," said Preston.
"They aren't finished yet," said his associate.
"Whatever," said Preston, "Just do it."
Back to Dipper and Pacifica:
They are back on the route to California.
"You know its funny," said Pacifica.
"What?" Dipper asked.
"I actually have never been outside of Gravity Falls," said Pacifica, "My family never really went on any vacations and my dad always states that Northwest stay in Gravity Falls....I want to prove him wrong."
Dipper laughs a little.
"Whats so funny?" Pacifica asked.
"Its kinda hard to believe that you never seen the actual world," said Dipper.
"Have you met my father? He wants to keep traditions," said Pacifica.
"Traditions are meant to broken," said Dipper, "People used to sacrifice goats and we don't do that anymore."
"They actually did that?" Pacifica asked.
"A long time ago," said Dipper.
A car then pulls up by them.
"What the heck?" Dipper asked.
A woman in her late 30's then walks out of the car.
"You lovers need a ride?" The Woman asked with her southern drawl.
"Uh I think so," said Dipper.
"Hop in," said the Woman.
Dipper and Pacifica get into the woman's car then she starts driving.
"Name's Tammy-Lynn," said Tammy-Lynn, "Where you two headed?"
"Malibu," said Pacifica.
"I can take you as far as Anaheim," said Tammy-Lynn.
"Good enough for us," said Dipper.
As Tammy-Lynn was driving, a drone hits her hood.
"What the heck?" Dipper asked.
"This kids with their damn flying machines," said Tammy-Lynn.

Back to Preston:
"AW COME ON!" screamed Preston.
"Told yah boss," said his associate.
"Shut up Mertins," said Preston, "Time for plan b."
Later with Dipper and Pacifica:
The car then stops at a restaurant.
"This is Anahiem," said Tammy-Lynn.
"Thanks ma'am," said Dipper.
Pacifica pulls out a $1000.
"Something for your troubles," said Pacifica.
"Thanks," said Tammy-Lynn, "Finally I can get my GPS fixed so it stopped taking me to Anahiem and Seattle."
Tammy-Lynn drives off.
"Well I am hungry," said Dipper.
Dipper and Pacifica walks into a place called Karaoke Dokie.
Dipper got a burger while Pacifica got a grilled chicken sandwich.
"Alright, Alright, I'm yo MC DJ Wuzzup!" said the MC.
"Your names Andy!"
"Shut up Daryl," said Andy, "Anyway we are looking for a couple of lovers out there who want to sing a song tonight."
"We should do that," said Pacifica.
Dipper and Pacifica raise their hands.
"That couple right there," said Andy, "Come on up."
Dipper and Pacifica walk onto the stage.
"Okay pick a song," said Andy, "Choose

Dipper picks a song, Pacifica agrees.

Cutting me up like a knife
And I feel it deep in my bones
Kicking a habit I love even harder
You oughta know
I just wanna dive in the water with you,
Baby, we can't see the bottom
It's so easy to fall for each other
I'm just hoping we catch one another
Oh, na, na, just be careful, na, na
Love ain't simple, na, na
Promise me no promises
Oh, na, na, just be careful, na, na
Love ain't simple, na, na

Promise me no promises
Baby, I think about you
And I feel it, deep in my heart
Maybe we just ain't meant to be something
Maybe we are.
I just wanna dive in the water with you
Baby, we can't see the bottom
It's so easy to fall for each other
I'm just hoping we catch one another
Oh, na, na, just be careful, na, na
Love ain't simple, na, na
Promise me no promises
Oh, na, na, just be careful, na, na
Love ain't simple, na, na
Promise me no promises, oh
I just wanna dive in the water
But, baby, we can't see the bottom
I just wanna dive in with you
I just wanna lie here with you, oh
Oh, na, na, just be careful, na, na
Love ain't simple, na, na
Promise me no promises (promise me)
Oh, na, na, just be careful, na, na
Love ain't simple, na, na
Promise me no promises, no
Promise me no promises
Don't you promise me nothing
Promise me, me, me, me
Just be careful
Promise me no promises
Everyone in the restaurant gives them around of applause.
Later:
Dipper then sets a phone call from his Sister, Mabel.
"Mabel why are you calling me all of a sudden?" Dipper asked.
"Uh, where are you and Pacifica going to again?" Mabel asked.
"Why?" Dipper asked.
"Just forgot, mom is getting worried," said Mabel.
"Okay, its Malibu," said Dipper.
"Malibu got it," said Mabel.
Mabel hangs up.
"Well you got your details, now let my pig go," said Mabel.
"Good Girl," said Preston.
Preston lets go of Waddles.
"Malibu eh," said Preston.

A discussion of people, monsters, and the nature of reality, all with the scenic backdrop of a litRPG and violent death. Anthony is your average, unassuming programmer that wakes up from a dream only to find the world he knew is gone, along with much of his memory of it. He is forced to fight for his life (badly) and try to help others (unwillingly) in a desperate bid for not only his own survival, but that of humanity as a whole. Join me on my first expedition into writing anything longer than a book report as I ramble endlessly and attempt to cushion the whole thing with exotic adventures in a game world.
8 93Moonlight Sword Sect
One of the three great sects, the Moonlight Sword Sect is a powerful sect that rules over a overwhelming amount of deity-like cultivators, like a dragon that rules over powerful treasures. The Moonlight Sword Sect, also called as the ?Moonlight Illusions Sect,?is the most feared sect among the three great sects for its profound and mysterious technique that can destroy realities and even the time itself. Indeed. This is the sect that no one must or even most, "can" fight as this sect is strong by any means, be it offensive or defensive as they can bend the reality to illusions, giving the attacker or defensive side a dim light of hope of surviving from the wrath of the Moonlight Sword Sect. However... "Are you really that serious, sect master?" "Yes, I am indeed serious." "You're giving away the sect master role to someone so that you can go away from your sect-master duties and court that female cultivator from other sect?! Are you serious sect master?!" "Yes." "Sigh... I can't believe this is happening..." ??? "Xiare! I challenge you!" "Hehehe.... Even though you're an OP character, you're still a weakling, my little Eumi. Fine then. I'll accept your challenge. Let's duel! Show me your best cards!" Indeed. Instead of a more serious tone of what the Moonlight Sword Sect cultivators imagined and portrayed by the other cultivators to be, they were instead opposite of that. Instead, they were casual, free from worries and most importanty— carefree with no sign of ending. It was as if they were like a joke, despite being one of the most feared sect across the cultivation and mortal world. Follow the cultivators of the Moonlight Sword Sect as they experience the changing world with their carefree lifestyle.

**for Quravin** It's the summer of 2010, and Evan Barker's older brother Jason has just committed suicide. His devastated parents are reeling from the Recession, his friends are shiftless drunks, and his younger sister has been committed after discovering Jason's body. In an attempt to assuage the trauma his family has experienced and break away from his own shitty existence, Evan decides to grab his portion of the modern American Dream by trying out for that year's American Idol auditions in Nashville. Never mind that Evan's a 21-year-old virgin with a self-image as poor as his social skills. Never mind that he's never even attempted to sing before. In 21st century America, anything is possible, or so Evan's been told by a cultural upbringing of "Follow your dreams" and "Everyone is special" and "True love awaits". Speaking of true love, Evan asks Lily Trent to accompany him on the journey. Lily is a childhood acquaintance with whom he's recently reconnected and developed a crush on. Lately Lily's been working as a stripper, a cynical and jaded young woman who may or may not have her own motivations for joining Evan on the trip. Evan hopes the time alone will spark reciprocal affections in Lily, and an improbable come-from-nowhere triumph on national TV will not only free his family from their blue collar burdens, but win him the respect and love he craves-- not just from others, but from himself. Together, Evan and Lily discover why learning how to fail may be their generation's greatest lesson. Cover art by Gerry Siorek
