Pacifica was so tired when the sounds of something in the distance started to pull her for her sleep.
"Ugh shut up! People are trying to sleep here!"
The only response Pacifica received was the sound of screaming and that woke her instantly, and she wished she didn't. This was Gravity Falls, the little town was burning and all the monsters and demons were scattered around dead. Pacifica turned from the sight and tried to run to find Dipper and the others, but she immediately froze when a sinister laugh echoed from behind her. Pacifica fearfully turned back to see Bill Cipher staring at the town and laughing happily, he then faced the blonde.
"Ahh Llama this is how things should have gone, but I was so stupid that I let you all go. This time I will do things right and if you know what is good for you, you should just run."
"If you are the real Bill Cipher, Dipper and the Pines will beat you again! You lost once and you'll lose again!"
"This time I will have something they don't expect, I'll have you! Besides there are worst things in the universe than me, but for now you'll do well." Bill smiled and pointed behind Pacifica and when she looked behind her there were souvenirs of the other members of the zodiac circle. Pacifica stared in shock at the pine tree hat, shooting star sweater, Stan's hat, Soos's shirt, Wendy's ax, Ford's glasses, Robbie's heart jacket, and more. All the items were splattered in blood and looking down, Pacifica saw her hands were drenched in the crimson liquid. Bill was right behind her as she fell to her knees. "I must be going I am getting too weak. I'll be rooting for ya Llama, let's see how far you can fall. Wake up!" Bill laughed and snapped his fingers as Pacifica was pushed out of her dream.
Pacifica woke with a scream and slowly forced herself to calm down and get her bearings. She had been sleeping under a bridge because she didn't find a motel, Pacifica sighed looking at the barely rising sun. she grabbed her bag and while she started walking, she pondered the dream and if it was real.
Was that really Bill Cipher? Dipper and Mabel wouldn't have left if they thought Bill was alive so it must have been a dream, right? Even if it was the real Bill why would he come to me instead of going after Mr. Pines or the twins? What was that about using me? Ugh that stupid triangle is driving me crazy even when he's dead! I'll read the journal for a while, maybe I'll learn something new.
Pacifica pulled out the journal and a granola bar, eating and reading Pacifica walked as she had for the last four days. Pacifica was sure to not give her name out too casually as her parents were all over radios and tv saying how much they missed their princess, but Pacifica knew better. The reason they were worried was the longer she was missing, the longer people would investigate and question her parents. Reading the journal Pacifica could see someone as nerdy as Dipper getting obsessed in it, but most of this were things that Pacifica had to see to believe. Unicorns, Weremaids, Magic spells, Aliens and other weird stuff. It seemed as the first part of the journal, which had been journal 1, was focused on theories and ideas on the weirdness and paranormal. The second third, journal 2, was focused on magic and special items. Lastly the third part, journal 3, was filled with info on monsters and Bill Cipher. Pacifica loved this part of the book the most as Dipper's handwriting was everywhere on it, and it even had his real name in it.
"Mason Pines. Well I wonder why he doesn't use that name it's cute. I guess their parents really liked the twins thing, Mabel, Mason." Pacifica was nearing a small town, more of a village really, that stood besides a creek that Pacifica had read that the creek has the cleanest water anywhere! Pacifica ran up to the town just as a teenage boy came out of one of the nearest houses. Pacifica smiled at him and asked if she was in Pellimaa and the boy gave a kind smile nodding.
"Yeah this is it sorry but you town on a low month. The creek that has run for over five hundred years had suddenly dried up, and if we can't get that water the town will have to move location. The families that lived here have been on this land since for generations, even my parents are thinking of packing."
Pacifica looked around at the ancient looking buildings and families that were scattered around. The children were playing happily, but the parents were looking at their crops and at the empty creek, beaten expressions on their faces. Pacifica looked at the boy and grabbed his arm.
"Have you all checked the origin of the creek? Have you all traveled upstream?!"
The boy frowned at her and nodded. "Of course we sent five villagers and they never came back, since then we didn't want to lose anymore. Are you by yourself?"
Pacifica ignored his question and continued with her idea. "Okay guy how about if we travel up stream and get not only your water back, but also your people."
The boy took his arm and crossed them. "We? No offense G.I. Jane but I'm seventeen and you're what eleven?"
"Twelve. Come on look around at the people around you, they deserve a chance don't they?"
The boy sighed and held his hand out. "My name is Parry and I known these people all my life and they do deserve a chance. Fine let's go I have a dagger so that should keep us safe, and I better not die because of you blonde. Mom! Dad! I'm going to take care of uhh hey kid what's your name?" Pacifica was about to answer. But thought of her parents looking for her and said Paz. Parry shrugged and yelled to his parents again. "I'm going with Paz and will be back here later! Don't hold up for me! Let's get going."
The two walked up the dried creek in silence, getting bored Pacifica pulled out the journal and caught Parry's attention.
"What's that? Looks like some imaginary monster book."
"This is a journal and all these monsters are supposed to be real. I only met a few but that is enough for me."
Parry stared at her in disbelief. "You honestly think I believe you met monsters?"
Pacifica shrugged, "It's your choice to believe not mine. I met these Lilliputtians that are little men in golf courses, I met a category ten ghost, and i met some demon from a different world." Pacifica showed Parry the pictures and told him the stories of the creature, without letting it known who she really was. The two talked when suddenly Parry shushed her.
"Wait I hear something." Parry kneed and after a moment he started to run, causing Pacifica to rush after him. She couldn't hear anything, but it may have been that Parry knew what to listen for. Parry grabbed Pacifica and hid behind a tree, in front of them was a huge castle made of logs and sticks and at the entrance were two beavers. "What the hell? There's no way they could have made something like this, and I think the castle is blocking our water!"
Parry stood up and ignoring Pacifica's warnings stepped to the beavers and lightly pushed them away with his feet. Pacifica was reading over her journal, thinking she had seen something like this before. Pacifica found the page she wanted and ran to Parry who had kicked open the door, and looked around inside.
Inside there were the lost villagers stuck in mud casings and Parry started to hit them, trying to free them.
"Parry! Wait! Something is coming! We have to go now before-" A huge roar echoed throughout the castle and a huge rumbling kept happening and growing stronger. "Oh no." An enormous beaver appeared with a crown on it's head, sharp teeth, and red beady eyes.
"P-Paz what is that thing?" Parry and Pacifica took some steps back as the beaver looked down and started chasing them.
"I-it's a Afanc! A huge beaver that builds castles and usually causes floods! This one must have built it's castle on your creek because of the pure water!" Parry dodged when the beaver attacked him with it's teeth.
"How do we beat it!? This thing is getting way too close! Stop it!"
Pacifica scanned the journal and found something, "Okay! There is a way to tear down the castle! There is always a stick poking out awkwardly and if we pull it out the castle will start falling, look around for a stick weirdly poking out!" Parry was distracting the creature by running around and dodging it's attacks while Pacifica was looking around checking every place she could think of. "If I was gonna hide something so important, I would...hide it in plain sight!" Pacifica looked up above a huge throne and saw a wooden figure of the Afanc, but the nose was wrong. "Got ya! Parry keep him distracted a little longer!"
"No problem! Here take it and climb!" Parry said as he threw her his dagger and kept dodging and moving the statues slowly to the exit. Pacifica carefully took the dagger and started to climb the wall. Pacifica grunted as splinters kept happening to her as she relied more on the wall and her strength was quickly running out, Parry tripped and was hit by the Afanc's tail. Pacifica pushed herself to climb faster and she finally grabbed the statue's nose, but she grew dizzy as a craving into the statue's forehead looked like Bill Cipher. "Hurry hurry Llama your friend won't last much longer!"
"PAZ Please! Hurry!"
Pacifica shook the craving and voice out of her mind and pulled the stick with all her might, causing the Afanc turned and roared as it saw her. The creature slammed into the wall to get her down, but managed to unplug the stick and Pacifica screamed as she fell and closed her eyes waiting for the pain. None came as she fell into Parry's arms, "Are you crazy!? We have to go the whole place is coming down!" Parry put her down and started to head for the door, but Pacifica grabbed his shirt and pointed at the Afrac that was pinned under a log. Parry stared at it as it struggled and yelled out for help, so he sighed and ran to the creature and started to pull the log off it. Pacifica started pulling also and after a combined effort they finally got it to move, and the grabbed both by their shirts and ran to the exit as the castle fell.
Outside the water began to push the logs away and flow normally again. Pacifica and Parry were standing next to the mud castings of the villagers and the Afrac. Both the children looked up at the Afrac as it bowed and dropped it's crown, before running back into the woods. Pacifica looked at the crown half her size and smiled at Parry's shocked expression.
"What are you waiting for? You got the water back, got out the villagers, and you now have a crown that can pay for everyone in your village!"
Parry looked at Pacifica and rubbed his head, "Well you did take down the castle and your journal did save us in there. You aren't gonna take half the crown?"
Pacifica shook her head laughing, "Money isn't a huge priority for me. Let's get all this back to your place."
It took the rest of the day, but they successfully got back and after a scolding from Parry's parents they showed the village the crown and villagers. The town celebrated all night with food, music, and games for Pacifica and Parry. Of course no one believed their story and the villagers who were caught forgot the creature, but maybe that was for the best. Pacifica spent the night in the local hotel, free of charge, and first thing in the morning began to leave. Parry was already up and smiled at her.
"Glad I was able to catch you. I wanted to say thanks for everything and that was pretty cool for a twelve year old, and I know it's irresponsible to do this but here." Parry tossed over his knife, safely inside a stealth. "It may help you, Ms. Northwest."
Pacifica cursed as she put the knife away. "How long did you know?"
Parry chuckled putting his arms behind his head. 'Right away. We aren't crazy people, we know when one of the richest girls in the world are missing. You may need a new look if you want to stay hidden, i promise we won't tell no one anything."
Pacifica hugged Parry and thanked him, before walking away to her next destination.
