Well, I guess I'm still writing. Jameer14 made a very good point and it turns out people actually READ my stories. Unbelievable, right? I'm still not very happy about the amount of reviews I've gotten, but I guess it's not going to change. Are my stories getting worse or are people just not reviewing anymore. Anyway I want to say thanks to Jameer14, GravityVanel14, and Psycho Delic263 for reviewing on my last story, Nightlight. On a totally unrelated note a guest nominated my story, The Birthmark for favorite one shot on Jameer14 fan fiction awards! I don't know who you are, but thank you!

I paced around our room over and over again.

I ran my fingers through my long, brown hair.

What am I going to do?

I sat down on my bed, and covered my face with my hands.

This is all my fault.

I feel my eyes start to burn with tears.

I can't cry.

I wiped them away.

I have to be strong.

But he promised he'd be back by now. What if he- No, I can't think like that.

He's fine. He always is. But is he this time?

The tears came rolling down my cheeks. Something's not right. I need help.

I wiped away my tears and ran down the stairs. "Wendy! Has Dipper came back yet?"

"I haven't seen him since this morning when he left to find some monster of something." She said. I groaned and hit my head on the table letting more tears run free. She snickered, "Why? Kid's gone missin'?"

I slowly brought my head up to see Wendy smiling and lightly laughing. "Yes Wendy he has gone missing..." I said through gritted teeth. She stopped smiling. "And you think it's a game!" I yelled, an angry flame flickering in my eyes.

"Whoa. What's all the ruckus about dudes?" Soos said as he appeared, "hehe ruckus..." He laughed. I finally lost my patience. "You want to know what the RUCKUS is about?!" I yelled, "My brother hasn't come back from his monster hunt and something is wrong! I know because I'm his twin! I can feel it!" I finished breathing heavy.

They both stared at me wide eyed, a matching look of pure terror on both of their faces. My face softened and my breathing slowed as I realized what I had done.

Then all of a sudden Grunkle Stan comes in, "Ok which one of you interrupted my regularly scheduled nap?" I was about to tell him all abut what was going on when Wendy spoke up, "Dipper's missing."

Grunkle Stan stared at us for about 30 seconds before erupting in laughter. "Hahaha! That's gotta be your worse joke ever! Dipper's gone missing! Ha! Classic! Well, guess what, jokes on you Dipper told me he was going on a monster hunt about, oh I don't know, what time is it? 1 or 2?"

Soos corrected him, "Uh, mister Pines, it's 6:15 P.M."

"What?!" Grunkle Stan yelled. "The boy told me he was leaving around ten this morning so that means he's been gone for..." "Eight hours." Wendy finished for him.

We all looked around at each other for a minute all thinking the same thing, what's going on here? Realization finally hit me. My brother. Gone. Eight hours. Forest. Alone. Cold. Scared. Hungry. Hurt. The world started spinning. I grabbed onto a table and looked at Soos, Wendy, and Grunkle Stan. I could see their mouths moving, but I couldn't hear them. I was having a panic attack.

The world started spinning faster and faster. I finally heard their voices, but they were muffled and fast. It was as if someone hit the fast forward button, and everything was sped up. I had one final thought, where are you Dipper? Before my world faded into darkness.
