I had a great time writing the first chapter of this. It's really fun! Also thanks to lalagirl16 for beta reading for me, she will continue beta reading for me. Doesn't it look so much cleaner?
His breath would be lost in space when he'd see her. Her perfect, beautiful blonde hair that would glow like gold in the sun. He thought when he first arrived in the Oregon town that she was too good for him, and it was still true. That's what made this boy's dream come true, as he was with his perfect girl.
They had tried everything to keep in touch with each other. They tried texting, calling, even video chatting each other, but they both knew it wasn't the same, since Dipper was all the way in California. Each day felt like forever when they were apart. But Dipper was finally ready.
He had turned a year older, so he was now 13, but he still had strong feelings for her. That's why he, and Mabel as well, was happy they were going back.
Dipper had packed his bags before Mabel was even awake. He felt like waking her since he was so excited to visit everyone, but he decided to let her sleep. Dipper's phone vibrated in his pocket, so he pulled it out. He pressed a button and soon they were as face to face as they could get.
"Can you believe it? You're coming back!" Pacifica yelled excitedly.
"I know. It's gonna be great seeing you again." Dipper said with a smile.
"So when will you get here?"
"We are heading to the airport in 2 hours, so at about..." Dipper looked at his watch. "At 2:00"
"I can't wait! See you then." With a click her face was gone. It was always nice to hear her voice. What he didn't hear was groans coming from the other bed in the room.
"You guys woke me up with your excitement." Mabel said with a yawn on her face. She was in pajamas with hearts on them, with her hair in a tangled mess.
"You better get up, we are leaving in 2 hours." Two hours felt like an eternity for him.
Dipper couldn't sit still on the car ride to the airport.
"I know you're excited dear, but could you calm down?" His mom asked.
"I can't sit still Mom."
"You must be pretty excited to see this girl again," His dad butted in.
"It's not just her. I told you, Dad, that I also fell in love with all the mysteries in this town too. It'll be nice to get back to the mystery hunting again."
"Yeah, and you can also do them with your GIRLFRIEND!" Mabel said putting emphasis on the g word and making kissing noises and puckering her lips.
"Yes I remember." Mr. Pines replied. "This girl is a big handful. She's rich, and it's clear being around her is dangerous. But last year you showed me you could handle it, and I'm proud of you." Dipper grew a smile on his face. He loved that his dad was so proud of him and that he could trust him. Even Dipper knew himself. He was pretty insecure about the things that he could do, but as he grew older he started getting more confidence in himself as he tried to do more and not be scared. He wasn't the same insecure little boy from last summer anymore.
They arrived at the airport quickly. The family went and got their tickets, grabbed their luggage and walked to the plane. They got seated, with Mabel and Dipper sitting next to each other with Mr. and Mrs. sitting in front of them. Luckily there was no problems with the plane, so they took off on time, much to Dipper's relief. As soon as the plane took off Mabel passed out with her neck pillow. Dipper couldn't sleep, so he stared at the purple carpet that had flowers on it. That reminded Dipper.
"Should I get flowers?" He thought to himself. He thought he'd figured it out when he got there. He tried not to think about everything that could possibly happen. He most definitely tried not to think about her and her, well, parts. (He was in puberty so you can't blame him).
"Attention passengers, we will be arriving at the Gravity Falls airport in less than 15 minutes."
This made Dipper jump in his seat. He couldn't bottle up his emotions anymore. He passionately loved this place, as much as he loved back home. He thought to himself that he might be able to move here when he got older.
They finally could get out of their seats. Everyone stretched and climbed out of the plane. The twins inhaled the nice sweet Oregon air.
"Our taxi should be here soon to pick us up and take us to the Mystery Shack," their father informed them.
"I can't wait to see Stan again!" Mabel squealed with delight. Soon their taxi arrived and they climbed in. Dipper looked at his watch. It was 1:30. It didn't feel that late to Dipper but time never lies.
The taxi had an abrupt stop. After going through the woods, they arrived at the shack. Stan was waiting for them outside.
"Stan!" Mabel yelled running to him for a hug.
"Hey there kiddo, I see you missed me" Stan said hugging her back. Dipper walked up to him, since he wasn't one of those people that gave hugs. Stan saw him and rubbed his hat.
"I see you still wear that hat I gave you."
"Why would I stop? It's a reminder of this place for me."
"Well you guys probably should get in here, Soos and Wendy have been going crazy to see you guys again." While the kids walked in to see their old friends again, Mr. Pines walked up to Stan.
"Thanks for letting them stay again, they really like this place."
"You don't have to worry Mark, I can take care of them." Dipper and Mabel walked back outside after meeting their old friends again.
"I guess we're leaving now," Mrs. Pines said with her mouth choking up from her about to cry. Mabel ran in with a big hug under her sleeve to give to her mom.
"I'll miss you too mom." Mark kneeled on one knee to get serious with Dipper. "I expect you to take care of Mabel and Pacifica while I'm gone. Even though those two psychos are locked up I need you to protect them." Dipper grew a serious look on his face.
"I won't let you down."
"Come on hun, let's go," Mark said, taking his wife's hand. They walked back to the taxi. Dipper and Mabel waved and they waved back, and wished them luck. The taxi then started up and drove away, soon out of sight. Dipper then looked at his watch
"Oh no its 1:50! I was supposed to get to her house at two! How will it be possible?" They both thought, until Mabel got an idea. She tapped her brother's shoulder to get his attention. She then pointed towards the garage, where the mystery cart was parked
"Thanks sis." He said while running to the garage. He opened it and revealed it. It had shown some dust on it from not being used for about a year. He started it up and drove out towards the town. It took him a while to think of where it was, but when he jogged his memory he found was really close. The golden gate that protected it glowed in the sunshine, so it wasn't very hard to find.
Dipper turned off the cart's engine and walked up to the gate. It opened and let him in without hesitation. He walked to the front door of the mansion and rang the doorbell.
On the other side of the door was Pacifica, who was doing her best to look her good for him. She heard a knock and went downstairs to open it. She saw Dipper in his usual clothes, but Pacifica was wearing an expensive purple vest with a light purple tank top under it, with a skirt and purple heels.
"Come in! Come in!" Pacifica said, while pretty much pulling him inside. They walked up to her room. When she opened the door, Dipper saw a room that was the size of the Mystery Shack's living room. Pacifica sat on her queen sized bed and motioned Dipper to sit next to her. She placed her head on his shoulder, relieved that she was here with him. Dipper put his arm around her to get her closer.
"So, how is California?" She asked.
"It's good, other than the fact that there are no mysteries and how it gets REALLY hot," he replied.
"Well you know here, it can have it's fair share of hot days." But this day wasn't hot, in fact it was a beautiful day, and Pacifica didn't want to stay cooped up in her room.
"Well you said there were no mysteries in California. So how about we go find one." Pacifica suggested. He stood up and grabbed Journal 3 out from under her bed with excitement.
"Are you serious?" Dipper asked in surprise. He didn't ever dream of the day where they would go on a mystery hunt together, but today was the day.
"Yeah I'm being serious! Are you up for it?" Pacifica said while holding out her hand.
"Of course I am," he replied, taking her hand in his.
