Welcome to my first Dipper/Pacifica story. I wasn't a fan of this before, but the relationship was developed so well in that last episode! This story picks up from where the last episode left off. And we're going to ignore the apocalypse thing for the sake of the story...

PS This is loosely based on a Friends plot line that lasted a season. I just think it fits well!

Dipper and Pacifica smeared mud all over the fancy carpet. Dipper couldn't believe what he was feeling. When he was with Wendy, he always felt so awkward, but now he felt so...comfortable! He couldn't believe he was actually getting along with Pacifica Northwest.

"Hey, listen. Thanks for all that you did. I'm really sorry I lied and stuff." Pacifica said.

"Don't worry, it's fine. After all you saved all of us in the end, too." Dipper said.

Pacifica smiled.

"Uh, listen. I've, like, really enjoyed tonight. At least as much as you can when you turn to wood and get attacked by a crazy ghost. Anyway, the point is, do you like, wanna, uh.." Dipper said. He had felt comfortable before, but when he was trying to ask her out, he started to feel awkward.

Pacifica leaned in and whispered. "I'd love to see you again, too. But my parents wouldn't. So, could we, keep it a secret from my parents?" Pacifica said. "I'm not, like, embarrassed of you, I just don't want my parents to issue a restraining order on you or something."

"No, I get you. Anyways, I'd like to avoid Mabel knowing, too." Dipper said.

"Right. Let's just, not tell anyone, okay?" Pacifica said.

"Sounds good to me. So, does tomorrow sound good to you?" Dipper asked.

"Yeah, but where?" Pacifica asked.

"Hmm, I don't really know any places that are both secluded and, well, clean." Dipper said.

"What do you mean?" Pacifica asked.

"Well, the Mystery Shack will be empty tomorrow, because the rest of my family is going to some movie." Dipper said. "But I didn't think you'd want to go there."

"Eh, why not?" Pacifica said.

"Well, then, say 4:00?" Dipper asked.

"Yeah." Pacifica replied.

"Alright, see you then. I think I've gotta head out now." Dipper said.

"Wait, you forgot something!" Pacifica said.

"What?" Dipper asked.

"Your clothes. Remember, you changed?" Pacifica said.

"Right, right." Dipper said, walking back to the dressing room. After he changed clothes he walked back out and headed for the door.

"You forgot one more thing." Pacifica said from behind him.

"What?" Dipper said again.

"This." Pacifica said, kissing him quickly on the lips, winking, and saying "See you at 4!", before disappearing into the hallway. Dipper was taken by surprise, but he also felt very happy inside. With a huge smile on his face, he walked back out on the dance floor and found Mabel.

"Yo, we've gotta head back now." Dipper said.

"Awww! But it's only midnight!" Mabel said.

"Stan'll get worried." Dipper said. "Come on."

"Fine." Mabel replied.

Dipper had texted Soos earlier to pick them up. When they got to the car, Soos and his magical facial expression reading skills immediately picked up on both of the twins' moods.

"Mabel, why are you so sad? And Dipper, why are you so happy? It's usually the other way around." Soos said.

"Hey!" Dipper said.

"Just another party and still no boy." Mabel said.

"Uh, I don't know why I'm happy. Just am, I guess." Dipper said.

"Hmm, I am suspecting something. That is a valid reason for Mabel to be happy, but not you, Dipper." Soos said.

"Yeah, Soos is right. Did you, like meet a girl or something?" Mabel asked.

"What? No! Why would you say that?" Dipper asked.

"Hmmm...I think I'll put on my skepticals." Mabel said.

"You know I'm bad with girls! How would I have even met a girl?" Dipper asked.

"I don't know. There were a bunch of girls at that party." Mabel said.

"Maybe it's Pacifica Northwest!" Soos said.

"Yeah, right!" Mabel said.

Dipper wanted to defend himself, but he instead decided to go along with the cover up. "Ugh!" Dipper said.

"Skepticals." Soos replied, as they drove up to the driveway of the Mystery Shack.
