DISCLAIMER: I DON'T OWN GRAVITY FALLS NOR AMERICAN DRAGON
It was the crack of dawn over the town of Gravity Falls. While most were still asleep, one in particular was rising up with the sun. Pacifica Northwest's room was position on the east side of the house so that the first rays of the sun would shine on her, gently waking her up. "Good morning World," Pacifica greeted the day feeling surprisingly chirpy. Up until yesterday her life has been plagued with one ordeal after another. It recently was discovered that the reason for this was a disgruntled goat bent on revenge against her boyfriend. Now that the situation has been dealt with, thanks in large part to her, Pacifica is confident that it will be smooth sailing for her and Dipper.

"Good morning miss Pacifica, are you ready for your morning workout?" a servant asked as he entered the room. Contrary to what most people think that the rich can do whatever they want, Pacifica has a rigorous routine to maintain her appearance and status. Every morning before breakfast she has an hour of calisthenics followed by a one mile jog. After her work out she requires a half hour at the spa for bathing and manicures. Once she's done getting dressed she walked over to the dining hall to meet with her parents for breakfast.
"Good morning mother, father," Pacifica greeted with indifference.
"Ah Pacifica how was your morning exercises?" Preston asked his daughter.
"Invigorating as usual," Pacifica said rather politely as she took her seat and began the delicate procedure of carefully cracking a soft boiled egg so that she can eat the gooey insides.
"That's good. So what are your plans for the day?" Preston asked.
"I'm meeting with my friends at the mall," Pacifica answered.
"That's all?" Preston said suspiciously.
"And I have a date with Dipper as well," Pacifica admitted.
"Speaking of Dipper, when are you going to do it?" Preston asked in a hard tone.
"Do what?" Pacifica gulped.
"Pacifica," Preston groaned rubbing his forehead. "You are Northwest, a daughter of standing and prestige." Pacifica was about to interject when Preston raised his hand stopping her. "Now I've allowed you to date this commoner because you told me that you had a plan going. A revenge scheme that people will talk about for years to come."
"Ah I remember when I humiliated Toby. I dated him for one month and when I dumped him, he was crying about that for over a year." Pacifica mother chuckled feeling no remorse or pity for what she has done.
Pacifica gulped as she had completely forgot all about getting revenge on Dipper for humiliating her family, but it seems that her father hasn't. "Well you know, between us getting lost in the woods and him leaving after summer, I didn't have time to do anything." Pacifica pointed out.
"True but he's been back for how long now? Surely I would have thought you'd done something by now." Preston interrogated.
"I would but I need more time. You know get him reacquainted. Lull him into a false sense of security then BAM! I'll crush him." Pacifica demonstrated by smashing her grapefruit.
"That's my girl," Preston feeling proud of his daughter's viciousness that he didn't even mind the mess she made.
"Thank you father, now if you'd excuse me I need to get going." Pacifica said trying to get away as fast as she could.
"Oh just one more thing," Preston smiled. "Whatever it is you are planning on doing make sure you happens before the last week of summer."
"What?" Pacifica choked.
"I want to see that boy crushed, and I want to see him suffer." Preston stabbing his grapefruit with murderous intent. "And if you fail to do so, well I just might cut off all your credit cards." Preston threatened.
"What? No! I'll die without my credit cards!" Pacifica pleaded.
"Then you better not fail," Preston warned.
Usually shopping is a joyous time for Pacifica. No parents, no teachers, no authority figures. Just her and her friends jumping from one store to the next. Gossiping about boys and the unpopular kids. But today, Pacifica can't bring seem to enjoy herself. Her father's ultimatum kept echoing in her head. Pacifica was enjoying her time with Dipper that she completely forgot not only about the revenge plan, but the difference in their status. She should have suspected something was off since her parents were allowing them to date, but Pacifica figured that they were grateful that Dipper saved the town and her life which is why they were tolerating him. Only now she realized it's because they are still expecting her to carry out her revenge. Pacifica felt her heart sank. On the one hand, she didn't want to do anything to endanger her relationship with Dipper. On the other hand, can she really live without her credit cards? She only gets 1000 dollars a week for allowance and that barely lasts her three days!
"Is there something wrong Pacifica?" one of her friends asked.
"Wha...? No it's fine." Pacifica shaking her head back into reality, and just in time to see Dipper flirting with the new girl again! "Why don't you go now, I have business to take of," Pacifica hissed. Her friends slowly backed away, knowing that look on her face meant that they really didn't want to be here.
"No that's okay. It's not that bad." Dipper insisted keeping the vest on while just wiping the ice cream off.
"No it will stain if you don't wash it," Haley still trying to remove the vest to get her claws on that book. Over to the side, Mabel was giggling with anticipation. From her perspective they were doing the classic girl taking care of a boy's every need romance scenario. All that was needed was for Dipper to share his ice cream with Haley and it would be perfect.
"Dipper what is going on here?" Pacifica demanded.
"Pacifica, we were just" Dipper unsure of how to respond to this.
Pacifica stared at the scene intensely. Ice cream smears on her boyfriend's clothing, a girl trying to remove his clothing for no real reason, Mabel looking suspiciously like she's up to something. Even though she may not know fully what's going on here, her girl instincts were telling her that she needed to get Dipper away from here. "Dipper can you please come with me," Pacifica not really asking him.
"But," Dipper hesitated.
"Now," Pacifica ordered.
"Sure," Dipper handing Mabel his ice cream before walking over to Pacifica.
"Dang it," Mabel and Haley cursed at the same time though for different reasons.
They walked for a considerable distance in uneasy silence when Pacifica led them to Hoo-Ha's. Not a place that she would normally go to, but it's loud making it safe from potential eavesdroppers. Just so that the employees don't get suspicious, Pacifica bought some pizza and they took a seat at one of the isolated tables at the far end. "Here," she said offering him some portable wipes that she always carries around for messy emergencies.
"Thanks," Dipper graciously accepting the wipes to clean off the ice cream stain which were just starting to get sticky. "Look Pacifica what happen back there was an accident..."
"Dipper do you love me?" Pacifica asked suddenly.
"Well...I...um," Dipper choking and sweating a lot.
"Dipper I'm serious," Pacifica pleaded.
"Well of course I do," Dipper said honestly but feeling a bit embarrassed to admit it.
"Do you trust me?" Pacifica asked.
"Pacifica what's this all about?" Dipper asked in turn.
Pacifica hesitated. While she knows honesty is the best policy, she never really believed it. Usually she prefers to cover things up with a lie, but with Dipper she decided to take a leap of faith. "Dipper I just want you to know that I'm not the same person I once was," Pacifica trying really hard to hold back her tears. "When we first started dating"
"You were planning to humiliate me?" Dipper smiled.
"You knew?" Pacifica gasped.
"Pacifica please, give me some credit. I know I'm not the coolest or the most hip"
"No one says hip anymore," Pacifica corrected him.
"What I mean is, I may be young but I am a good detective. I figured out your plan right from the start." Dipper boasted. "Just like how I know now I can trust you," he reassured her with a kiss.
"Thank you," Pacifica smiled.
"So what's this all about?" Dipper asked.
"It's my father. He wants to know when I'm going to do my revenge thing and he wants me to do it soon." Pacifica explained.
"Why don't you tell him you won't?" Dipper asked.
"Because he threatened to cut off my credit cards," Pacifica cried.
"Is that a bad thing?" Dipper wondered.
"I knew you wouldn't understand," Pacifica snapped.
She was right, Dipper didn't understand. While he knew money is important, he would never sacrifice love or family for it. Unfortunately it seems that Pacifica wasn't the same. In fact this reminded him of what a shallow materialistic brat she can be. Almost making him wonder how he fell for her in the first place. Pretty much every fiber in his being was telling him that he should just dump her and find someone who actually has a shred of humanity in them. But just as he was about to say something that he would most likely regret, his mind flashed back to when he and Mabel traveled to that alternate future where he saw that he became a single dad and was then employed as Pacifica's butler. He wasn't able to get the full details but from what he could piece together, after they broke up and gone their separate lives, Dipper ended up broke and divorced with a kid to take care of. Desperate he started working for Pacifica who was still married with a daughter of her own. Even though his older self never admitted it, Dipper could see that he still loved Pacifica. Not a future Dipper wants to repeat, not realizing that things turned out alright for them in the end. (A/N: See Back to Gravity Falls for details) So against his better judgment, Dipper decides to stick with Pacifica through thick and thin.
"So how are we going to play this?" Dipper asked since dirty tricks really isn't his field of expertise.
"Really?" Pacifica said feeling a bit shocked. She half expected him to storm off calling her trash of humanity.
"Look I don't like it, but I hate the alternative worst," Dipper admitted. While this sort of thing does go against his morals, he feels that Pacifica is worth it. After all he's done worst to get a girls attention, like helping the teens break into an abandoned convenience store just to impress Wendy.
"Thank you," Pacifica cried. "But it needs to be good. My dad isn't going to be satisfied with me just dumping you. He wants to see you and maybe your entire family to suffer. And no offense but you're a bad actor." Pacifica teased.
"No argument there," Dipper agreed. "I know maybe Uncle Ford has some do-hickey that might help." he suggested.
"Are you sure?" Pacifica asked skeptically.
"Wouldn't hurt to try," Dipper shrugged. "Why don't you come over to the Mystery Shack tomorrow and we'll check his private lab."
"Why tomorrow? Why not now?" Pacifica wondered.
"Because your chaperon is looking for you," Dipper whispered pointing at her chauffeur at the door.
"Ugh figures," Pacifica groaned. "I'll see you tomorrow at noon."
"Make that 4:30, that's when my shift ends." Dipper suggested.
"4:30 then," Pacifica kissed him goodbye.
Later at the Northwest mansion
"So how was your date with the Pines boy?" Preston asked in an interrogating manner.
"Great, he finally trusts me enough to show me to his uncle's secret room," Pacifica reported.
"Excellent, soon whatever secrets that Gideon was after will soon be mine," Preston laughed manically.
"Yeah you'd think that," Pacifica whispered.
The next day around 4:15 Pacifica knocked on the door of the Mystery Shack. She was soon greeted by two boys who looked exactly like Dipper except different hair color and that they have T and IV on their hats. "Uh Mistress, it's always a pleasure." the two boys stumbled and stuttered, completely terrified to see her.
"Oh get out of my way you two knock offs. Where's Dipper?" Pacifica demanded pushing her way through the clones.
"Um he's still in the shower," Trace reported.
"Yeah, Stan had him cleaning the out house again." Joe gulped.
"I thought I hired you two to do those things for him." Pacifica scolded.
"Yeah but after finding out we're copier clones, Dipper didn't want us doing any jobs where we might get wet." Joe gulped.
"Even though he knows we got plenty of hair spray," Trace added.
"We'll discuss this later," Pacifica promised causing both clones to shutter. As Pacifica waited for her boyfriend to get done, the bane of her existence Mabel came rushing in.
"Pacifica you're here?" Mabel said excitedly.
"Yes I am, so what of it?" Pacifica responded.
Mabel squealed with excitement, "If you're here at this time then you must be here for"
"SLEEP OVER!" Candy and Grenda came bursting into the room.
"Wait what?" Pacifica gasped as the girls started to strip Pacifica of her clothes and place some old pajamas on her, just in time as Dipper was coming down after his shower. Dipper naturally cowered as he saw the extremely annoyed look on Pacifica's face.
"Sorry, but Mabel didn't tell me she was having a sleep over." Dipper apologized. Pacifica didn't say anything but her eyes shot daggers at him. "Got to go," Dipper yelped as he ran to Trace and Joe's room looking for sanctuary.
"How can this get any worst?" Pacifica muttered.
"Hey am I late?" Haley asked as she entered the room with a sleeping bag.
"Oh you've got to be kidding me!" Pacifica groaned.
