Pacifica Northwest. Everyone knew that name in Gravity Falls, they admired her, they looked up at her. They… they thought she had everything. In a way, she did. But, in a way, she didn't.

The blonde girl was currently in her bedroom, avoiding her parents. She didn't want to deal with them, especially after what happened tonight. She remembered everyone being turned into wood, not a very pretty sight. She laid on her bed, wondering why her parents were this way. Heck, not only her parents, the whole Northwest family!

"Pacifica Elise Northwest! Come out of your room, we would like to have a word with you!" She heard her mother yell. The girl sighed, 'here we go', she said to herself. She got up the bed and exited her room, and entered the living room downstairs.

"Okay," Pacifica started saying. "I'm here. What do you want?" Her father seemed mad, "Do not talk to us that way, Pacifica. You were NOT raised that way." The girl could only roll her eyes and keep still, waiting for a lecture from them. "You have disobeyed us, brought shame to the famil-" Preston was cut off by Pacifica. "I brought shame to the family? ME? You should be thanking me, instead! I-" She felt her cheek sting. Her father had slapped her. Pacifica looked up at her father, tears starting to form in her eyes.

"Now, darling." Her father started saying, like nothing happened. "Do NOT interrupt me again, or I will not hesitate to raise my hand once more." The crying girl looked towards her mother, who seemed to be a bit upset, but stood by her husband.

Pacifica couldn't believe this. After all she has been through, after almost getting killed by some ghost thanks to her family, after saving people's lives, this is how she gets thanked. "I hate you…" She whispered. "What was that?" Her father asked, sternly.

"I said.. I HATE YOU!" Pacifica screamed and pushed her father aside so she could run off into her room. "PACIFICA ELISE NORTHWEST YOU COME HERE RIGHT THIS INSTANT!" She ignored him and entered her room, sobbing. She brought her wardrobe in front of her door so they wouldn't try to enter. 'I can't deal with this anymore..' She whispered to herself. She wanted to leave, and that's what she was going to do."

She grabbed a travel bag, and stuffed it with some clothes and accessories. She was going to leave for at least a day or two. Not that her parents would notice anyway. The only thing that worried her, is the fact that she didn't know how she would get out of her room if her door is barricaded and she was at the highest floor. After a few minutes of looking around her room, she figured the easier way to get down safely is to actually go through the mansion. She sighed and waited for her parents to go to bed and everything to be turned off.

Pacifica almost fell asleep, but she waited long enough and predicted all the lights were turned off. She took out her wardrobe from the entrance of her room, as quietly as possible. She later then grabbed her travel bad and walked quietly until she reached the Mansion Door. She grabbed the door handle and turned it to the right, and the door opened. She left the mansion in one big run, trying to avoid any alarms that would go off.

After a lot of struggle in the gate, she finally was able to cross over it. She looked down on her clothes, and already were they dirty. She tried to ignore it, and walked towards the forest.

As she walked on the forest grounds, she felt uneasy. Where was she going? She didn't even bring a flashlight. Oh, wait! She remembered bringing her phone with her, so she grabbed it from her pocket and turned on the phone flashlight. This definitely made things easier, and a lot more creepier, too. She shivered, the forest definitely gave her the creeps.

She kept on walking, she had trip a couple of times and was okay, just a few scratches and bruises. She finally found some sort of light, and found road. She sighed in relief, and followed the road. She thought of messaging her friends, but if her parents found out she was missing, they would go straight away to them.

She even considered sleeping in the park, but she had morals. The last option was… the Pines. She groaned, she couldn't believe she was going to go there. 'What other option do I have?' She asked herself. The blonde girl made her way to the Mystery Shack and prayed for the best.

Right as she said that, it started to rain. Oh, dear. She sneezed her way to the Mystery Shack. After what seemed to be an hour of walking, she reached the Shack's door and knocked on it. One minute passed and no response, so she knocked again. "Brrr, I swear, if they don't open u-" as she was saying that to herself, she saw Mabel opening the door, rubbing her eyes.

"H-Huh? Pacifica? What are you doing here?" Mabel asked, still rubbing her eyes. Pacifica cleared her throat, "I'll tell you, once you let me in." Mabel nodded, "Oh, yeah, come in!" Pacifica made her way in, taking off her shoes as well. "You're soaking wet! Oh, Pacifica, what happened?" The blonde girl looked at the concerned brunnette, and hesitated to answer. "My parents… they hurt me."

Mabel looked at Pacifica, and gave her a hug. She didn't care that she was wet, she needed affection. "So, I-I decided to leave, for tonight. I didn't know anyone who would take me in at this hour, but I thought of you guys. I understand if that's too much to ask for." Pacifica was saying, as they hugged. Mabel broke the hug and smiled. "Are you kidding?! You are more than welcomed to stay here! As long as you want! Come, you can take a shower, you're all dirty."

Pacifica's face grew red, and she was thankful it was dark in the room they were in. "Okay, but won't your family mind? It's like, 3 AM." She said, checking her phone.

Mabel shrugged, "Idunno, but Grunkle Stan isn't in his room, so he's probably not even home. Dipper is sleeping, and believe me when I say it takes more than a hurricane to wake him up!" Pacifica laughed at Mabel's exaggeration, but nodded. "Okay then, lead the way."

Mabel had taken Pacifica to the bathroom, "Okay, here's the bathroom. Do you have Pjs?" Pacifica looked through her travel bag and shook her head. "Oh, okay! I'll bring you some in a bit. You go and take your shower!" Pacifica smiled and entered the bathroom, removing her dirty clothes and putting them on the side.

She was confused when she hopped in the shower.

After a few screams, Pacifica was able to get her shower over with. She found a pair of purple pajamas on the edge of the sink, and put them on, regardless of a few scratches on her legs.

She brushed her hair with a comb, and exited the bathroom. Mabel left a note stuck to the bathroom door which read:

"Dear Pacifica!

I went up to my room (the attic) and set up a bed for you. Hope you like the pajamas! Meoooow!

Your dear friend, Mabel!"

Pacifica looked over at the word 'friend'. Mabel considered her a friend… The blonde didn't know what to say, but smile widely.

Pacifica made her way to the attic, after getting lost one time. She quietly opened the door, and there was only one lamp turned on.

The light of the lamp illuminated part of the room, and Pacifica could see a bit of the floor, which was covered in blankets, a few pillows, and a ton of plushies. The girl laid herself down, and in no time, she fell asleep.

A few hours later.

Dipper felt the sunshine hit his face, and he groaned. "Turn off the sun.." He murmured and started to slowly open his eyes. He winced as he moved his neck, he must've slept in an awkward position.

The boy sat up and rubbed his eyes and eventually got up and walked. As he took his second step, he fell down. Dipper shook his head and wiped his bangs out of his eyes and stood up. He looked down to see what was the cause of his fall, and his eyes widened.

"Pacifica Northwest?"
