12 days to Christmas
CH 1: Finding the Perfect Gifts

Dipper was at the Mall searching for the perfect gift for his girlfriend Pacifica, even though she wasn't really picky about what she got, he still wanted it to be unique and truly special. Dipper first went to a jewelry store, and he looked over all the different pieces of jewelry and he sighed "Pacifica has loads of jewelry, more will just go unnoticed" so he went to look in another part of the mall. As he was walking about he looked and saw Soos of all people coming out of the Fancy English Queen Clothing Store "ok this has got to be good" and he approached him "So Soos, um what are you up to?"
Soos knew that Dipper knew what store he came out of "oh its fine Dude, just finishing up some Christmas shopping"
Dipper couldn't help but laugh a little "well that's good, for a brief moment I thought you had some very strange hobbies that you manage to keep secret"
Soos sheepishly just explained that he got a $200 gift card to that store for Melody "and dude don't let anyone know"
"know what?" Dipper said with a smile then he thought "hey can you help me with my shopping"
"sure thing Dude, I just got one Present left to get" Soos said happily
Dipper looked at Soos who had two bags that were pretty stuffed already "who for?"
Soos looked around and found the store he was looking for "Stanley Jr. of course, and can I ask you the same question?"

Pacifica took care to make sure that Dipper was nowhere near or in the Mystery Shack and she gently knocked on the door, Stanley Jr. opened the Door, "hi Pasica"
Pacifica Crouched to eye level with him "hey is your Mom or Grandpa Home?"
Before Stanley Jr. could reply, Stanley Sr. came in and picked up Jr. "Now Stanley what did Mommy, Daddy and I say about answering the door?"
Stanley Jr. rubbed the back of his head "only open it if a grown up dat I know is wif me?"
Stanley Sr. gently pinched Jr.'s nose "that's right" and he placed him back on the floor "now go Play"
"ok Gompa" Stanley Jr. gave Sr. a hug and went to the other room.
Stanley Sr. turned his attention to Pacifica "come in, come in"
Pacifica sat on a couch across from Stanley Sr. as Jr. was playing with toys "so where is Melody and Soos?"
Stanley stretched a little "so Soos is doing some Christmas shopping and Melody has gone to get an ultra sound, but may I ask what have you come here for?"
Pacifica looking down the sheepishly spoke "I'm trying to find a Christmas Present for Dipper and I'm am fresh out of Ideas"
Stanley looked at this young woman, and could tell she was telling the truth "so you want information that might help"
Pacifica shot up "yes Please"

Dipper spent about 2 hours help Soos find a Present Stanley Jr., the thing that they settled on was some sort of tank thing that Lil Stanley could drive around and squirt water, however it was large and Dipper had to ask "how are we going to get this in without Stanley seeing it?"
Soos then asked "witch Stanley?"
"Both of them" Dipper said without hesitation "you know how terrible Grunkle Stan is at keeping secrets"
"yea your right Dude, we'll think on that later but for now let's find that Gift for Pacifica and to do that we need to talk to someone who knows her very well"
Dipper looking a little put out "I know her well"
Soos put a hand on his shoulder "not well enough, trust me I had the same problem trying to get a Christmas present for Melody when we were first dating"
this made Dipper feel a little better "so who do we talk to… wait I know"
Dipper and Soos made their way to McGucket's Mansion and he greeted them "hoo hee what brings you two to this here place?"
Dipper approached him "well I'm looking for a present for Pacifica and I want it to be special, unique, and…" Fiddleford interrupted him "and you don't want it to be something that could be forgotten or cliché" Dipper nodded then McGucket continued "first of all good for you to want to get something special for her, Pacifica has really become a nice girl… woman in the years that I got to know her, and two…" he was holding out his hand with two fingers extended very close to Dipper's face "don't be afraid of cliché gifts, there are reasons for being cliché" McGucket shook Dipper's hand "well if I knows… know her as well as I know this here palace" him and Dipper looked up and to see the mansion the back at each other "she has a thing for Lamas, Stuffed toys, a necklace, and even going to the petting Zoo once in a while, she loves lamas"
Dipper felt he could jump to Mars and Back and quickly gave McGucket a blink and you'll miss it hug "Thank you, thank you, thank you!" and Dipper and Soos Quickly went to the truck.
As they drove off, McGucket then quietly said to himself "or was it Pumas?" and he shrugged his shoulders and went back in.

Pacifica was listing to Stanley Sr. very intently but it felt like it wasn't going anywhere, Stanley Jr. fell asleep on her lap so she was gently rocking him but she felt she needed a more reliable source, someone like…
"HEYOH!" Mabel shouted as she and Stanford came in.
Pacifica gave Mable a gesture that said "Quiet, he's sleeping" but to no a veil, Stanley Jr. was now awake and grumpy.
"oh sorry I forgot" Mabel said sheepishly
Grunkle Stan got up and picked up Stanley Jr. and Handed him to Mabel "that's a nice apology but it will be seen through once you get him to sleep" and he took the bags that she was holding and took them to the other room.
Pacifica got up then she saw Stanford and thought that Stanford would be that more reliable source or Mable both are pretty good but Stanford was probably the better option because he can keep a secret.
"Hey um Mr. Ford, can you help me with something?" Pacifica asked.
Stanford sat in a chair "yea, what do you need?"
Pacifica sat in the chair across from him "I am trying to get a perfect present for Dipper and I want it to be something special that won't just collect dust"
Ford stroked his chin "hym… that is a tough one. Let's see he already has D, D, and MD"
Pacifica then added "and he has his own Journals now so that is out of the question"
After Mabel put Stanley Jr. down for a nap, she came back to the living room where she found Pacifica and Grunkle Ford, both of whom were in deep thought. "So, what you two up to?" she said in her usual playful manner.
Pacifica looked at her Boyfriend's sister and thought to herself "no one know him better the she does, even if she can't keep a secret", taking a deep breath she told Mable what she was trying to do and why she avoided her.
Mabel then sat next Pacifica and hugged her "oh Paz, you know that the only secrets I can't keep is if someone likes someone else. Secrets like this, you have nothing to worry about" then her face got serious for a moment "but he is a tricky one but I think I might know a few things" and she took Pacifica and Stanford by the hands and dragged them to her car "Off to the mall we go"

Dipper and Soos were on their way back to the mall when the tire blew on Soos's truck and they had to stop, as they got out they found that they stopped right in front of an old jewelry store that looked like it came straight from Eastern Europe.
Soos got out the spare tire "You go in Dude, I can do this" and Soos placed the jack, so Dipper walked in.
Dipper walked up to the store owner who looked like a wizard of some sort (probably was given the town they were in), "Privet I am Sergey Grovinoft master jewellery craftsman, how can I help good sir" he said in a very thick Russian accent.
"Hello there, I am looking for a Lama themed necklace, do you have anything like that?" Dipper asked.
"A specific request good, I always people who babel to themselves then saying Surprise me, only then when I Surprize them they say that is not what I wanted" the man said with a laugh and went to the back of the store
Dipper decided to look around, he saw things like tiaras, necklaces, those weird toe rings that hipsters like to wear, even a weird broken green glass bottle thing wrapped by a metal serpent with a metal human skull on the top.
Dipper continued to look until he saw a silver medallion so he picked it up to have a closer look. It looked like a Swan with its wings fully open on it, with what looked like the gold rays of the sun behind it. In short it looked beautiful, "perfect" he said to himself, and he then looked at the back of it and saw it was blank.
"This to your liking?" Dipper looked up and saw the old man less than a foot away from him holding a necklace that had a Lama next to a Pine Tree, this caused him to jump back a little.
"OH! Um I found something better" and he handed him the swan medallion.
The old wizard Russian man mumbled a little then picked up the Medallion "I Charge $***. ** American or **, *** rubles" Dipper was about to buy it but then had to ask "now is this cursed in any way?"
The old man shook his head "cursed! Heavens no… I keep those items in Display over there" and he pointed to a Display case where a middle age man was trying on a pinky ring then turned into a humming bird and was flying around in a panic and flew out of the store, the old man then said "I should get lock for that display case" then he looked at Dipper "I can inscribe message on back for $** American, and it should only take one and one half hours"
"ok" Dipper said and he sat in a chair with the medallion in hand "what to write for her? What will be the most meaningful for Pacifica?"

Pacifica spent the past three hours traveling the Mall, they went to stores that sold videogame things to specialty nerd stores that sold more specialty nerd Items, Mabel and Ford went into the nerd store to look for something while Pacifica just wandered around.
As she was traveling the mall looking at all the stores as she went, she eventually found her way to the food court and just took a seat to check her message board on her phone.
"Need help with anything Paz?" Pacifica looked up and saw Wendy, who was caring two bags that was safe to assume were full of Christmas presents.
Pacifica shot up and blabbed out what she needed to blab out "Dipper, need to find a perfect gift for, no Idea!"
Wendy smiled and put her bags down "calm down Pacifica" and she sat down next to Pacifica "ok so stop me if I'm wrong, you are looking for the perfect present for Dipper and don't want it to be so random thing that could easily be replaced or misplaced?"
Pacifica nods and smiled slightly "I'm am cleanout of Ideas"
Wendy put her arm around Pacifica's shoulder "ok then let's find some Ideas, lets discus what we know about him"
"well, he loves a good mystery like detective books or murder mysteries, and imposable mysteries like finding out what Twinkies are made of" Pacifica explained
Wendy then shared some thoughts "well he loves to game. Video, board, card he has no preference just like to have fun"
Pacifica now on a roll "true but I wouldn't consider him a gamer though" she thought some more "he also likes to go an random adventures with Mr. Stanford, and he is taking archeology at M…I…T…" Pacifica then shot up and ran.
Wendy, astonished at Pacifica's sudden speed stood up "Hey! Wait up!" and followed her.
Pacifica found a specialty store for Hunters, Camping and other outdoor activities once she found what she was looking for she went straight to it. Wendy went into the store and found her looking at a display case "wow dude, when you know what to do, you just do it" then she look at the display case and found knives, Big Knives, Small Knives, Swiss-Army Knives and impractically large knives.
Wendy a little confused asked "why Knives, doesn't he already have a pocket knife?
Pacifica looking at some of the nicer knives replied "that thing would barley pass for tooth-pick, let alone a knife" she continued to look "I want to get him something that is very useful for him on his trips and eventual job as an archeologist.
The store clerk came up to them "what may I help you two ladies with?"
Pacifica then answered "I'm looking for a knife that would be helpful for a very adventurous individual.
The clerk picked up a tiny and very techno looking knife "this can be used as a knife but also be used as a screwdriver, magnifying glass, and it even has a Wi-Fi setting"
Wendy then asked "why would a knife need Wi-Fi?"
the clerk put it back "ok yea that's dumb, how about this" and he picks up a knife that is a foot long and probably weighed ten LBS.
Pacifica took it hand to confirm the weight "That's looks like nice, but I was thinking of something a little more… Practical" and paced back on the counter.
the clerk placed it back and looked around "oh, this should be perfect" and he hands Pacifica a packet knife "this is our best knife" and he switches the blade out "it is made from titanium gold alloy, making extremely strong, light, and will not rust in your life time"
Pacifica took the Knife and yea it was light and was definitely sharp "is there anything else to this knife?"
the clerk continued "well the handle is made from the same metal and carbon fiber grip"
Pacifica and Wendy nodded "I'll take that one"
the clerk was about to put the knife in its box "do you want a name on the handle?"
Pacifica "yes, the Name is Mason D. Pines"
