Pacifica was noble in the olden town of Gravity Falls; she was getting older and soon would be the time for her to wed. In every way Pacifica seemed to be an obedient child who would grow into the role of a lady quite well, with one exception, she would often go into town in clothing that only a maid would wear to see a girl.
If her parents knew of this they would surely lock her up to prevent such blasphemy from ever happening again. Knowing this to be true she made sure to take great pains to not be caught by anyone, friend or foe.
This was one such day where she went into town in her disguise to see the girl dance, the girl was part of the Pines family, and had beautiful hazel eyes that had seemed to cast a spell on her as soon as Pacifica saw them.
"Come one come all to the mystery caravan!" said an old man that Pacifica knew to be the girl's great uncle, still that didn't stop her from rolling her eyes. This man was a thief and a beggar if she didn't feel the need to give the girl money every time she saw her; there wouldn't be a penny in her bag.
"I know none of you came here for my handsome face," a few chuckles went through the sizeable crowd that had gathered in the area "So may I introduce my great niece and nephew! Come out here you two we have money to make!" They walked out in the clearing, the boy who had an instrument that Pacifica had thought to be magical with how it seemed to able to play any song exactly how it originally was.
The girl, however, was the one that had all of her attention; the brunette girl had walked into the clearing in very colorful attire with many flowers weaved into her long hair, a bright smile gracing her face. She gestured for her brother to start playing, she then started to start to sing, Pacifica didn't know how the girl's voice could sound angelic yet bubbly at the same time but it did.
"I've been many places
I've traveled 'round the world
Always on the search for something new
But what does it matter
When all the roads I've crossed
Always seem to lead back to you...
Old familiar faces
Everyone you meet
Following the ways of the land
Cobblestones and lanterns
Lining every street
Calling me to come home again
Dancing in the moonlight
Singing in the rain
Oh, it's good to be back home again
Laughing in the sunlight
Running down the lane
Oh, it's good to be back home again
When you play with fire
Sometimes you get burned
It happens when you take a chance or two
But time is never wasted
When you've lived and learned
And in time it all comes back to you...
Dancing in the moonlight
Singing in the rain
Oh, it's good to be back home again
Laughing in the sunlight
Running down the lane
Oh, it's good to be back home again
And when I got weary
I'd sit a while and rest
Memories invading my mind
All the things I'd treasured
The ones I'd loved the best
Were the things that I'd left behind...
Old familiar faces
Everyone you meet
Following the ways of the land
Cobblestones and lanterns
Lining every street
Calling me to come home again
Dancing in the moonlight
Singing in the rain
Oh, it's good to be back home again
Laughing in the sunlight
Running down the lane
Oh, it's good to be back home again
lalalalalala...Oh, it's good to be back home again
lalalalalala...Oh, it's good to be back home again
Dancing in the moonlight
Singing in the rain
Oh, it's good to be back home again
Laughing in the sunlight
Running down the lane
Oh, it's good to be back home again
Dancing in the moonlight
Singing in the rain...
Oh, it's good to be back home again"
As the girl finished her song she made sure to clap the loudest, not an easy task but she wanted to be heard above the rest the crowd. She went to do what she usually did and just throw some coins into the hat and walk back to her home, but the girl waved her over to her. Not wanting to be rude or to miss a chance to talk with the girl, she walked over to her.
"So did you like the song?" the girl was waiting for the answer with bated breath with the bright smile still on her face
"Oh yes I did but why are you asking me?"
"I've noticed you coming here every day, well most days you're here. I also wanted to know your name."
Pacifica didn't know what to say to that if she told the girl her real name her cover would be blown, however, she didn't want to lie either "My name is Paz," she decided a nickname was the best course of action "What's yours?" She hoped she didn't sound too eager when asking this.
"My name is Mabel, nice to finally meet you, Paz!"
She wasn't expecting a hug but she returned it none the less. She felt herself smiling because now she had a name to call the girl by Mabel. She poured all the coins in her purse into the hat that was being passed around. She always did this every time she came there, mainly so she could ensure that Mabel didn't go hungry. The mere thought of this made Pacifica's heart hurt, she wanted to help the only thing that seemed cheerful in her life to be safe, happy and well nourished.
She waved goodbye to Mabel hoping that she didn't have to wait long to see her again.
A/n the song is called home again by Blackmore's night if you want to look it up
