Hey! After my first story was so nicely received I'd thought I'd give you crazy kids another story that I'd been fumbling around with and here it is.
Whoops! Looks like I've gotten things a bit scrambled around. Oh, geeze, none of this story is in order. Oh well, I'm sure it'll all work out. Enjoy!
Just moments before Dipper and Mabel were set to leave Gravity Falls
"Pacifica?" Dipper was shocked. Was that the right word? Not quite but it came close enough. After all it was their last day in Gravity Falls, and just before a final farewell was given here she was, Pacifica Northwest. She was nervous, anyone could tell. But as nervously as she stood before the mystery-solving twin, she was determined to say something, anything, before he left.
A blush crept slowly onto her cheeks; Dipper gulped involuntary feeling a warmth tingle onto his own cheeks.
"I, I just wanted to know, will you be back next summer?" She fiddled with her fingers; her bangs covered her eyes, as she cursed the fleet of butterflies in her stomach.
"Of course. I've only scratched the surface of this town." Dipper smiled, it was a broad boyish grin that Pacifica found infectious. "It'd take something miraculous to keep me away."
"Good. I guess I'll see you then." She turned to walk away but Dipper grabbed her arm. He didn't know why, it just felt like something he needed to do. As Pacifica turned to face him, she couldn't stop herself from lunging into his arms. It was a soft crash, warm and inviting.
The two stood like that for a brief moment. Dipper's arms found their way across Pacifica's petite form as he held her close to him. He buried his face into her blond hair; inhaling her sweet scent as he did his best to memorize every piece of that moment.
"I was a little scared that you wouldn't come." He breathed into her hair.
Pacifica herself was busy trying to subside the torrent within herself, why did it have to feel this good? She knew it would be over in a matter of minutes. She was only twelve; she shouldn't be feeling this way about a boy, at least not so deeply.
"That's a silly thing to be scared about." Pull yourself together girl. The two separated, but the space between them was still scarce. "Don't miss me too much, Dipper. Piedmont's not that far away…"
"Heh. Never make a promise you can't keep." He winked and let her walk away. That was it. She was gone, and he would be leaving any minute now. Home. It would only take another school year to get back. He took a sharp breath, and put a brave face on.
"Don't worry bro, bro." Mable cut in, "Now we really have something to look forward to this school year." She put her hand on his shoulder and looked out into the horizon with him. "What a great summer, full of friendships, mysteries and best of all summer romances. Well, for me anyways. You weren't really into all that love business."
If only you knew, Mabel. Dipper smirked. If only you knew.
Thanks for reading!
