Author's Note-I got more support for the first chapter than I thought I would so I'm going to upload the second Chapter I just finished. I'm uploading these as I finish them so I don't have a set schedule as to when they will be done. Also I just can't picture them as 12 year-olds. So when i was writing this I pictured them as 14 or 15. Thanks for all the support.
Dipper's P.O.V.
"I do not have a girlfriend." I stated sharply.
"Dipper's got a girlfriend. Dipper's got a girlfriend." Mabel chanted.
I let out a long sigh and walked inside the mystery shack. Mabel wasn't going to give it up... but I wasn't going to argue over. I'll just tune her out I thought. I picked up my Journal. Mabel gave up trying to annoy me and left the room. I swept my hand across the cover, wishing I knew who the author was so I could talk to them. I started flipping through the pages like I had done many times before.
I didn't find anything in particular. Just browsed through looking at the pictures. I was just trying to take my mind off what had happened. Why did she kiss me? Does this mean we are dating? The questions just kept racing through my head. I guess that was her intention. To leave me shocked while she drove away before any embarrassment.
I had to work in the shack tomorrow but maybe I could call Pacifica the day after that. Then I could get my answers. You know girls really shouldn't just do stuff like that. It makes a guy so restless.
"You guys are so cute together." Mabel said interrupting my thoughts once again. She seems to do that a lot.
"What?" I said staring at her blankly.
"You and Pacifica."
"We aren't dating."
"Okay, whatever you say." Mabel said sarcastically.
Why does she do this? I turned on the TV and tried to watch something. My stomach started growling and I realized that all my nervousness had made me forget to eat lunch. It was almost dark and I figured it would be time for dinner soon anyway, so I made some sandwiches and ate in the chair in front of the TV. I flipped through the channels and came to the news talking about the horrible accident at the Northwest Mansion. Again... How long are they going to talk about this.
I don't understand why people cared about the party in the first place let alone what happened. As if no other weird things happen in this town. Maybe we're the only ones that pay attention. As there was nothing interesting on TV my mind slowly drifted back to Pacifica. STOP.
Why do I keep doing that? I should not be thinking about her that much.
Pacifica's P.O.V. Two days Later
I hope Dipper calls. He's all I've been able to think about for the last two days. It was still the early morning hours and consequently my room was still dark. It had sort of an eerie feel to it because of the rock Dipper had given me. It sat atop my bookcase casting a green light across the room. I don't know why but the light made me feel safe. Don't get me wrong I've not scared of the dark but the stone just gave off this aura.
I went back to sleep for another hour and then got up. My parents had a house party planned for tonight and invited a bunch of rich guests. I was supposed to talk to one of the other parents sons and supposedly go out with him. Maybe if I invited Dipper I could get out of it. If only he would call...
I grabbed a set of clothes out of the closet and took a shower. Belief it or not I do own other clothes, but this outfit is my favorite. I left the bathroom and headed downstairs for breakfast. I was up early so I had to wait 10 minutes for the chef to cook breakfast. Bacon and eggs. I'm allowed to eat whatever I want as long as I stay fit. The moment my parents even suspect I am gaining weight they put me on regulated foods. Part of their "perfect" daughter plans I guess.
"Here is your food miss." Said Walter
"Thank you Walter, that will be all." I replied.
Walter turned and left to wake my parents. I finished breakfast and headed back to my room. For a house as big as this is, there really is nothing to do. As I walked back into the room I heard my phone ringing. I ran over to see who it was. It was Dipper!
"Hello?" I asked
"Hey Pacifica, It's Dipper. I was wondering if you wanted to hang out today?" He asked
"I can't" I said hoping to hear him disappointed.
"Oh, well we should hang out again." he said kind of embarrassed. "Call me when you aren't busy."
"Wait Dipper. The reason I can't hang out today is because my parents are throwing a house party hoping to set me up with some rich snob. You should totally come. Then we get to hang out and I have an excuse not to talk to snobby rich kids. Unlike me these actually are mean.'' I said with a laugh.
"Okay, I could do that. What time do you want me to come over?"
"Actually, I was thinking we go shopping beforehand because you don't have anything to wear. I'll be over to pick you up at 1:00. Be ready."
"We aren't going to the ma-"
That was all the further he got. I hung up on him. I wasn't going to argue with him about the fact we were going to the mall. We were going and that was final.
It was 12:30 so I called my chauffuer, and headed to the Mystery Shack. I got there about 5 minutes early so I got out and went inside.
"Pacifica! Can I interest you in any of our fine merchandise?" Stan begged as I walked through the door.
"No, I think my house is full of enough fake things." I said thinking back to all the fake pictures that hung on its walls.
Stan seemed a little taken aback by this went back to cleaning the shelf. I looked around at all the stupid things this place sold. I can't believe Dipper works here let alone lives here. I called upstairs.
"Dipper?" I yelled
"You're early. I'll be down in a second."
I sat there and waited for a minute for him to come down then we headed for the car. I couldn't wait to go shopping. I hope Dipper has fun hanging out with me since I know he doesn't like shopping. We climbed in the back seat and sat across from each other.
"You know I don't appreciate it when people hang up on me." he said playfully.
"Well you already knew where we were going." I replied
"Ugh, can we please not go to the mall?"
"Nope, where else are we going to get you dressed up?"
"Anywhere but there."
"I mean I would take you back to my place to see what I have, but as you know I'm not on good terms with my parents right now."
We had awkward small talk for the rest of the ride. It was only about 5 minutes so it didn't get that awkward. Finally we arrived at the mall. We had about 10 stores to hit, I told Dipper to get out and we headed into the Mall.
Dipper's P.O.V.
We entered the shopping mall. It was massive. The middle of the ceiling from one side of the mall to the other was a skylight. there was a large fountain in the middle were the mall broke off into four wings.
"C'mon" Pacifica yelled as she grabbed my hand and dragged me into the nearest store. She started to blush as she realized she unconsciously grabbed my hand. We were both red.
"Okay well let's find you a suit to wear." She said nervously
We looked around the store until we found a nice white suit that was my size. I headed into the dressing rooms to put it on. I got it all on right but I just couldn't tie the bowtie. Seeing as I had been in there awhile, Pacifica called me out.
"Need some help in there?" She said jokingly.
"Yea, I just can't tie the bowtie." I said walking out of the room.
"Again?" she said with a laugh.
she walked over to me and tried to tie it. My hands were getting sweaty and my heart started to beat faster. I don't know why I was so nervous. It was just Pacifica. She made a frustrated noise.
"We shouldn't have to do this just to please my parents. Why do they do this?" She asked burying her head in my chest. I tilted her head up to mine and I stared into her eyes. I leaned in and kissed her. It wasn't one of those I've wanted to do this for a while kisses, but an every things going to be okay kiss. I pulled away embarrassed.
"I'm sorry I shouldn't have done that. I.. I just got caught up in the moment." I said embarrassed.
She looked at me for a second and then kissed me again. I was surprised but kissed back. We stood there for a moment and then pulled apart. Then Pacifica blushed, which made me blush.
"So uh I think that means we're dating." She blurted out.
"What?" I asked
"Well we obviously like each other so why not make it official?"
"Okay, well lets buy this and head to the next store."
"Well I didn't expect to find exactly what we were looking for at the first store, so now we only have one other place to go. I have to buy a dress."
We bought the white tux and headed to the dress store. I sat down on a bench in front of the dressing rooms because I had no idea what I was doing. I stood up as Pacifica walked out. She wore a beautiful green dress. I walked over to her.
"You look beautiful." I said.
"Thanks, this was the dress I was going to wear to the party but my mother made me change to the purple one. She returned it the next day knowing I would want to wear it again. Well I hope she's happy with my new dress." She said with her head down again.
"Quit putting your head down, you're perfect."
She kissed me again.
"Thank you." She said. It wasn't a shallow thank you. It was one of those thank yous that meant so much more. She walked back into the dressing room to change. We bought the dress and headed back to the car.
"Wow, that took way less time than I thought. We might be on time for the party." She said as we got back into the car. We drove back to The Northwest Mansion and got ready for the party. I changed back into the tux while she got into her dress. After we were finished getting ready we sat on her bed and started talking.
"Pacifica? Are you getting ready for the party?" We heard her father call from the hallway. then he walked in and saw us. "What is he doing here again?"
"He is my boyfriend and my date to the party."
