Welp, here's another Gravity Falls horror story. What else is new? Lol! Well, actually, the only new thing about this is that it's (kind of) original! 8D
Now, this chapter will be a short prologue to the story, just so you know what's to come. I don't want to spoil anything, but things will get a little unsettling and creepy sometime in the future. ;)
Alrighty then, now it's time to get this story started!
Also, this is my first Dipcifica story, so let's see if I can do well on this pairing! :D
Disclaimer: I don't own Gravity Falls. It belongs to Alex Hirsh and Disney. This is just for entertainment purposes and I'm not making money off of this. ;)

-O-O-O-
IT WILL NEVER LEAVE YOU
-O-O-O-
Pacifica entered a room in the manor.
Her parents didn't know that she was in there. They went to bed.
It was their trophy room.
She was shedding tears…she has been after the party ended...the party that she rescued from the Lumberjack Ghost…the party that the guests were very thankful for when she rescued them.
What's worse, was that she had a stinging red mark on her face.
The socialites actually had a great time after they were released from the curse, despite what happened. They got to know the locals of Gravity Falls and they talked to them, loving their character and their personalities.
Mabel, Candy, Grenda had a great time. Pacifica even had a great time.
And Dipper…he had a great time as well.
Dipper…he was the one she was thankful for, for letting her have the strength to help out everybody.
And the party was a success after all the mayhem. The socialites and common locals were VERY thankful to her. The socialites were thankful for rescuing them, and the common locals were thankful for inviting them into her home. They were all SO thankful…
…Everyone except her parents.
When it was over…when all the guests left…when the doors were closed…they turned to her…looking at her with such disappointment…and in disdain.
And then…
The slap…the verbal lashing…the emotional hurt…
They grounded her…took away her privileges…
They could've done a lot worse…thankfully they didn't…but still, it really hurt.
Her parents just saw her saving the guests and inviting the common folk as incompetence.
"If you EVER do something stupid like that again, we will disown you!"
That was her father's exact words to her.
They treated her like dirt that night.
The servants felt pity for her…they were the only ones in the household that understood her reasoning. But they chose to not say anything to her parents.
She doesn't blame them…they need to keep their jobs.
She never felt so betrayed…
…so heartbroken…
…so useless…
She couldn't hate them…they were her parents! Parents were supposed to be people that you respect…and she did respect them.
…But now…after tonight…she just doesn't know anymore.
But she would never change it…she would never change what she did.
And she had Dipper to thank…
…That was one thing that made this night lucky…she made a true friend…
Pacifica quietly and swiftly went inside the trophy room. She hoped that they would cool off after a good night's sleep and hopefully won't still be upset with her in the morning…hopefully.
She made her way to the one 'trophy' on a stand that mesmerized her when she was little…the one that she always rubs when she wanted good luck.
She walked up to it…and stopped in front of it. \
The object was resting on the pedestal, unmoving…
It was never encased in glass or anything. It was just left out in the open within touching distance. It was one of their prized possessions. It was kind of like a good luck charm to her…she'd been rubbing it for luck ever since she was eight. One of her loyal and oldest servants, her butler Gerald, told her about it when she took interest in it. When he told her, she felt like it carried a mystic feeling to it. She was entranced by it. So thanks to Gerald who held onto her at that time when she was eight, she rubbed the 'trophy' for the first time, wishing for something great to occur. She only rubs it when she really wants something good to happen, like winning a contest, or if she had a bad day. Her parents didn't know she was doing this thankfully, and luckily – but strangely - enough, it never left an impression or a smooth mark on it when being rubbed.
Now here she is, standing in front of it…
"…I'm back," Pacifica said quietly.
She talks to it sometimes, even though it's an inanimate object. But…in some way…she felt like it listens…oddly enough.
Pacifica looked down at the floor…
"…I had…a somewhat interesting night." Pacifica started. She then looked up at the object, "I don't know if you heard all the commotion tonight. There was a ghost and…well…" she sighed, "It's a long story…" she chuckled, "But…the short version is that I saved everyone in the party from the ghost's wrath. They were very appreciative…and I made a friend…a true friend." Pacifica smiled at that…but soon frowned, "…But…after the party…my parents…they were mad…" she closed her eyes tight as tears started to fall again. She touched the place on her cheek as well. "I…I was trying to help everyone. And they…they just got…angry…" She sniffled, "I…I don't understand. Aren't parents supposed to be understanding?"
It didn't answer…
Pacifica smiled through her tears. She knows it can't talk back, but the silence was comforting enough. "But I did wish some luck from you, didn't I? Even before the party…it turned out great…well, except for my parents being mad at me. But I wouldn't have had it any other way. So…I just want to thank you…even though the end result wasn't quite a good outcome…I want to thank you for letting me make a new friend…one that made me realize that I do have the courage to stand up to whatever comes my way…thank you."
It still didn't answer…only silence came from it.
Pacifica smiled softly anyways. She raised her arm and rubbed the surface of it.
"Just so dad and mom won't be angry with me for too long…" Pacifica said to the object. "Well…I'm going now…bye." She walked off and out of the trophy room.
...The object just sat there silently…
Well…that was the prologue! XD
If it doesn't make sense, then that's the plan. I don't want to reveal what it is yet. So…cyber cookie given to the person who figures out what it is! :D …But for the two people that I did tell, don't say anything! :P
Interested in the story? Then leave a follow if you like! I know this isn't much, but I got more stuff to write right now. I will come back to this. I just want to tease you all with this prologue! XD
But I WILL say that it IS a tiny bit influenced by one certain horror movie that was made back in the black and white area…that is all I'm going to say. XP
Anyways, tell me if you're interested! As always, I love reviews! :D
Keep on rocking everyone! :)
