Well, after taking advice from fellow authors and looking at how much people liked it, I decided to make a sequel to The Kids of Eternity. By the way, the first part of this chapter is a lot of explaining about what happened between the time that Ronald was defeated and now. Anyway, I'm looking forward to this story and I hope that you like it as much as its predecessor. Enjoy!:
One
Mabel drove the golf cart that she and Dipper were using to get to the building that Lil' Gideon once used for his factory.
It turns out that the Gleefuls had been illegally using that building to make products to make for the Tent of Telepathy. So three weeks ago, they had been forced to leave the building.
Dipper and Mabel found out about this and used some of the money that The City of Gravity Falls was still granting them ($15,000 per week spent in the town) to legally buy the building for an idea that Mabel had.
Four weeks ago, Taylor, a former Kid of Eternity who had once been Ronald's associate, had headed eastward on a mission to not only find Ronald, but also to locate other former Kids of Eternity who had lost their powers and make a sort of sanctuary for them.
With the aid of Dipper and Mabel's money, she settled in Chicago and currently had a safe haven housing 250 kids.
After the twins bought the building that used to be a factory, Mabel wanted to start a project to create a safe haven for the Pacific Northwest area. Dipper thought it was a great idea, since hundreds of homeless kids had been spotted in the state of Oregon.
After the building went through a one week renovation, the building had become a kid friendly apartment (with a maximum capacity of 1012 people) including a kitchen, a large cafeteria and even a small gym. There were even underground rooms incase those were needed.
Mabel named the safe haven A Child's Dreamland, and on the first day, 300 kids lined up to apply for housing and all were accepted. The current population was 661 kids and growing at about a rate of 30 new people per day.
In the present time, the twins had just finished a late afternoon lunch and were heading back to the Dreamland, as many people liked to call it.
"You know, I've probably said this a lot, but I'm blown away at how successful that your project has been," said Dipper. "We've seen kids come to us from practically every state and even a few from Canada and Mexico."
"Yep, me too," said Mabel. "Although I kinda feel sorry for Grunkle Stan. He really wanted to work here, but I only wanted employees under seventeen to ensure trust between residents and staff. Besides, he probably would have expected pay, but this is a volunteer based thing."
"I bet the only reason that he wanted to work here was for the good publicity," said Dipper.
Mabel shrugged. "I could see that."
The Dreamland was now in sight, so Mabel slowed the golf cart and stopped it a few feet in front of the main entrance.
The twins got off the golf cart and entered the building. The front lobby had yellow wallpaper with matching couches and armchairs. The front desk was painted silver and so was the laptop that was on it.
Mabel led the way and walked behind the front desk to a door behind it, opened it, and entered her office.
The walls were painted pink and everything else in the room like the couch, bookshelf, carpet, pencils, light, and swivel chair matched except for the desk, which was mahogany.
Candy was already seated at the swivel chair behind the desk and was reading something on Mabel's laptop.
"Hey, Candy," greeted Mabel. "Anything new from Taylor?"
Candy shook her head. "It's been the same as it was for the past four days," she said. "No messages."
Dipper bit his lip. He was afraid of what may have happened.
"Candy, please call Wendy and Grenda," said Mabel. "We should probably have a meeting about this. And over pizza. Preferably Dominoes."
I know that not much happened, but I promise that the next chapter will be more eventful. But what do you think about this chapter. Please let me know by reviewing.
