Alex Hirsch owns this amazing television show. I own nothing not even this computer. I write this because I was inspired by some fan art that I saw. Please read and review. Sorry if it is a little short. By the way the characters are around mid teens now in this story and have been going to Gravity Falls over that period, just a head cannon, I can do that because the show is over.

The shack was a little cleaner since she was a little girl, and Pacifica didn't have the financial superiority to avoid the place now. She hand't for a few years now. With her parents freaking out trying to regain lost finances and social class she had been given enough independence to leave and actually wander around without them either being nearby or somehow controlling her whereabouts.

When she had first learned she could leave the new apartment that they lived in, without her parents caring where she went she had felt...liberated...free. The feeling still lingered around the corners of her mind whenever she left, but it had significantly lowered in the past few years.

Just like her feelings of resentment and general disdain for the glorified shed in the middle of the woods dubbed by the owner "The Mystery Shack." The current owner a fat amiable man who ran the tourist trap with his wife of two years. But Pacifica wasn't there to see either Soos or Melody.

She was there to greet the original owners of the house. The Pines family, who still came to visit every summer. Mostly at Soos's begging. The former handyman couldn't imagine the hut without the Pines family in it, so he settled to hosting them every single summer, the cranky old men and their younger more energetic great niece and nephew.
Every single summer the four would return to the sleepy hidden town of Gravity Falls Oregon. The great uncles traveling from oversees and far away places while the two younger twins would come back from where they were living in Piedmont California.
And every single summer the population who were closest to the Pines family would come flocking from all around to meet back up with the group of world wary travelers. Including the former cashier of the Mystery Shack, Wendy Corduroy, Mabel's best friends Grenda and Candy, and the elderly old man that had moved into Pacifica's old house.

And ever since she heard that they would come back every summer Pacifica Northwest made certain that she was one of the few inhabitants who would greet the younger Pine's twins whenever they returned.

The friendship that had formed between Pacifica and the Pines Twins had been slow growing, it took months of sacrifice on her part, patience on their part, acceptance from Grenda and Candy to make certain she didn't backslide when Dipper and Mabel were not around, and of course her willingness to learn to be humble.

But Pacifica, an only child, a friendless only child, hadn't wanted to be alone after she saw something that had astounded her. People happy, people happy without things, or without disparaging others. People happy without making others feel miserable.

She wanted that, she wanted it so badly that she had lowered herself to the same level as peasants, conversed and hung out with, and dare she say it? Become friends with peasants.

And it had been worth it.

She had texted and called the Pine's Twins for years now, she had gone out with Candy and Grenda, she had friends in a way. Sure they all used to hate her, but they said it was water under the bridge.

She hoped it was water under the bridge especially with what she planned to divulge to Dipper.

Dipper Pines, an intellectual dweeb, all his life he had been sweaty, snarky, strange, insecure, and absolutely insufferable. And Pacifica had developed a crush on him back when she was fourteen. Or maybe when she was twelve. She didn't know, all she could really say was that one year he had left as a string beaned, acne covered, uncomfortable little kids. And then slowly, she had noticed this during first hugs, movie nights, swimming trips and generally wandering around with him...

Dipper had changed, grown up. He was smart but then again he was always smart. He was stronger, but she had actually seen some of his athletic prowess when they first met as children, he was fast and had a wiry strength. What got to her was that she had to work for his affection, she had to work hard to make him view her as something different, something better.

Her entire life people either feared her or fawned over her, a very select few hated her. But never to her face at least.

Then came the Pine twins. They were not cowed by her wealth, not stunned by her personality, they didn't like her. Mabel came around eventually. That felt good for the time, getting someone to like her. Then again she had people who adored her.
It was Dipper that she had begun to focus on, Dipper who she needed to impress. While Mabel's affection was easily won, it was Dipper who she had to work hard for, who she had to prove herself to.

She had never really needed to do that to anyone before. And the look on his face once she had proven herself to him...that had been amazing.

Her affection for him had grown slowly but steadily. She had not noticed it at first, a friendly hug had lingered a little too long, a smile hid a blush, a kind word spoken out of the blue. And then one day she found herself ordering a body pillow online and commissioning an artist to photoshop Dipper's body onto it.

It was then she figured out she might have a little bit of a problem.

But she was not going to let it control her. She was Pacifica Elise Northwest for crying out loud! She would do the best thing she could think of.

She would confront the stupid cute nerd and see where they landed. If nothing came out of it than that would give her a bit of closure, if something did...well...that would be even better.

They were all already there once she had arrived.
Wendy, Soos, Melody, Grenda and Candy waiting outside of the Mystery Shack and greeting the Stan twins, Mabel, Waddles and of course Dipper. Pacifica tried not to check him out and instead focused on how tall he stood now, how he could actually carry his and his sister's heavy duffel bags around without panting, and how he seemed at ease with exchanging hats with the college aged Wendy.

Pacifica slowly approached, always cautious. Even among people that she considered friends. Her best and only friends, she still tried to keep a distance.

Mabel had hurled herself into everyone and hugged them each hard enough to crack their backs. She was talking a mile a minute as her pet pig began to chase it's tail in a circle.

Dipper was the first to see her and raised his hand in greeting, his personal blue cap with a tree on it back on his head.
"Pacifica! Hey!" She wandered over and returned his smile.
"Good to see you again Pines."
"Feelings mutual-"

"OH MY GOSH! PACIFICA!" Mabel launched herself onto her friend and picked her up and spun her around. Pacifica screeched at the sudden contact before Mabel plopped her back down on her feet.
"It is great to see you! How've you been?! Candy and Grenda told me your family went to Vienna! That must of been amazing!"
"Actually it was my parents who went, I stayed home to look after things...they seemed to have fun though, how are you guys though? Is everything-" Pacifica was cut off as Mabel grabbed as many hands as her two could hold and bodily yanked everyone into the Mystery Shack so that she could better explain her life of the past few months.

Mabel was still chatting excitedly with the great uncles, Soos and Melody in the living room, Wendy had volunteered to walk a yawning Candy back home, the Korean girl had begun to get up early and retire early due to her habit of following around Old Man McGucket to learn his unusual wisdom. (She had a love of the strange and wished to gain as much knowledge as she could, even from a deranged prospector.)

Pacifica was standing out on the porch of the shack and looking up at the sky, she had nowhere to go and nowhere to be, she was intending on staying as long as they would have her.

"Real nice night huh?" Dipper said as he slid up to her. Pacifica looked at him, cleared her throat and crossed her arms before replying.
"Yeah it is pretty nice."
"Piedmont has too much light pollution, I can never get a good enough view of the stars."
"So you missed it here huh?"

"Oh a ton, I miss this place every single year." Pacifica took a deep breath, they were alone, it was the middle of the night and they were both by themselves. She promised herself it would be either tonight or never. She had better make it tonight.

"Dipper can I tell you something?" She said turning to him while squeezing her arms tighter together. Dipper rubbed the back of his neck and she caught a waft of his scent. Not especially clean, he didn't always have access to a shower so he would bathe when he had the chance, but that included ponds and lakes.

"Sure what's up?"

"So uh...look don't judge me alright. But, jeez, I pretty much have a crush on you y'know. I think that I like you. A lot. I don't know why it just sort of happened." She paused blushing heavily, she suddenly realized why girls didn't do this often, or at least why she didn't. Her stomach was clenched into one enormous knot of tension.

Dipper looked at her in confusion. His eyes squinting, then widening and then blank. Before realization came crashing into him like a firetruck. He blushed as red as a beet.

"That can't be." He whispered. And then louder. "That can't be! I-I-I I think I feel the same way as you!" He was covering his face and pulling at his hair a little bit in tension and horror. Pacifica's face turned dark red and then she suddenly clicked to what he was saying. She had been so distracted with what she was saying she didn't think about how he would respond.

"WAIT! You like me too!" She poked him in the chest aggressively. Dipper looked down at her hand before he grabbed the finger and awkwardly pulled her hand into his. She suddenly realized what he was doing. Dipper in his ham-fisted way was trying to hold her hand. His hand was amazingly sweaty. It was a little like having her hand being held by a frog.

It was gross but...but she didn't want to pull it away. Dipper opened his mouth in a croak, then he began to scream and blush heavily. Pacifica looked like she had just vomited, her eyes wide and horrified. She also began to scream.

"AAAAHHHHH!"
"AAAAAHHHHH!"

The two of them just stood there yelling at each other until finally Pacifica couldn't take it anymore. She started to laugh. She bent in half and rested her one free hand on her knees laughing steadily. This was ridiculous! She had just told Dipper Pines, Dipper 'Freaking!' Pines! That she had a crush on him. The monster hunter, explorer, intellectual was acting like she had stabbed him or something and all she could do when he said he felt the same way was scream and laugh like a harpy.

"Oh man we are so weird." Dipper said as he calmed down. Pacifica smiled at him and squeezed his hand.
"I think you mean we are so screwed if this is how we react."
"In my defense I had just gotten comfortable with the thought of dying alone. And now...I just...and you're so pretty! And...AAAAHHHH!"

Pacifica laughed and slowly slid down to the splintered porch pulling him down with her.
"So. Like, are you...y'know. Free tomorrow? We could get ice cream. My treat."

"Thanks I blew all my cash on a new pair of binoculars."
"I'm gonna have to be the adult in this relationship aren't I?" Pacifica deadpanned and Dipper only grinned sheepishly in response.

Mabel was holding a pillow over her mouth as she aggressively screamed into it. She finally pulled it away and grabbed Soos by the arm shaking him as hard as a glowstick.
"I have been waiting for this day since I was like seven!"
"But dude, you only met them when you were like twelve."

"Details my dear Soos! Simple details!" Mabel said waving it off. "I need to revamp his entire wedding journal I planned out for him!" Mabel said her face getting the most terrifying and simultaneously happy expression on her face that Soos had ever seen.

So yeah might make something more might not. Please read and review, I own nothing not even this computer. I am a pretty big DipperXPacifica shipper and this is just one way I see them actually getting together.
