Chapter 4: Romantic
"Come on it's back here!" Dipper said to Pacifica, they were both now treversing the terrain of the forest, the were almost at Dippers favorite spot, next to a creak where they were going to have their first official date and therefore they were now in a state of ultimate happiness, smiling and laughing while they ran and walked there.
The air was cool, and a soft breeze swept through the forest making the heat more managable, It was the perfect time and the perfect place for a date.
"I'm coming!" Yelled Pacifica following Dipper who was clearly better at running in the forest terrain. She was only a few meters behind Dipper. Who suddenly stopped and raised his hand announcing that everyone shall be quit because something important is happening. Luckily Pacifica understood this symbol and even she came crashing to a halt.
"What is it?" She whispered which great causion, Dipper was ready. He pointed with his finger into the forest, he was pointing a little to the right of where they were running to. Pacifica however, was unable to see anything, she had crouched down with Dipper who was now taking cover behind a bush together with Pacifica.
"I can't see anything." Pacifica Exclaimed. Because really there was nothing special right there, only the ground, a few trees and bushes, there was nothing to see.
Dipper made the next move, spreading the bush to one side to allow them both to peak through, and there it was. A beuatiful oase, the water was almost completly clear, that turquise that you see on postcards for some really expensive hotels in the carabian. There were palm trees standing around, they had coconuts hanging from them, this looked just like an abandoned island from the movies.
"Wow this is awsome" Pacifica exclaimed, still unable to take in the full beauty of this place, truly this was a masterpiece of nature.
"Come!" Dipper said as he got back up and walked towards the shore, he took his shoes and socks of and so did Pacifica, they waded through the waves around the lake until they had reached a small boat that was sitting in the sand, untouched. It was perfect, nothing could have been better than this.
"Get in!" Dipper told Pacifica after he had pushed it out onto the lake. And so she did, Dipper and Pacifica were now sitting together in the boat, it was made out of a dark oak wood that looked hundreds of years old and it was hold together by nails. The oars had a lighter color than the boat and seemed newer and not so worn. Even with Dipper using the oars and paddling the water kept still and in one line. A beuatiful place.
"Wow this is awsome, looks like this is the most romantic place I have ever been to." Pacifica exclaimed, then she reached in and kissed Dipper who was taken by surprise, now they were both feeling warm and fuzzy, Dipper kept his lips pressed against Pacificas and a truly romantic scene unfolded, but that was not all. Sudenly a huge spurt of water flew out of the lake next to them and the sprinkled over their bodys.
However, Dipper had not come here for only fun and games, so he released his lips and asked.
"Why did your parents kick you out?" and Pacifica was taken by surprise, she had no idea that this was coming and was clearly unprepared for this moment.
"Dipper the truth is that really I wasn't kicked out, it was my decision." She looked into Dippers eyes, her eyes sparkled in the light being reflected of of the water. Dipper had a look of confusion on his eyes and clearly had no idea what was happeneing here. What Pacifica came here for him? That was impossible.
"Why didn't you tell me?" Dipper asked, clearly angry about the fact that Pacifica lied to him. Rage was building up inside him, he was about to explode, however, he knew that there was no way of escaping now, he was on a boat.
"So what is the real reason?" He asked with obvious irony in his voice, showing that in fact he had no intrest in the answer. However, Pacifica was only used to using irony herself and so she answered.
"I know this sounds stupid but really there is something going on in our house." Pacifica answered, Dipper was instantly intregued, Pacifica was talking about weird things happening, Dipper knew that there was a reason that he had come here and that in fact he was an expert on weird things. So he knew he was going to uncover a mystery today.
"What happened?" Dipper asked, he had already pulled out his notepad and a pencil, ready to take notes. He was waiting for answers from Pacifica, but she didn't answer.
"What happened?" Dipper asked again, now Pacifica was snapped back into reality. She was obviously not ready to say anything whatsoever, but Dipper kept asking until she had to finally give in.
"I want to start over." Pacifica answered, this was not what he was expecting, in fact he had been expecting a paranormal case but nothing, not even a zombie, just that Pacifica wanted a new start. And what did that even mean, a new start, a new start at what? Nothing made sense until she answered his confusion by saying that.
"Dipper I want a new start at my life, at everything, I have been such a snob my whole life, and I want to change my hystory, please can we do something to reverse it all." Dipper was so surprised that he let the oars drop into the boat, they landed on his feet, sending pain through his whole body, however he was far to interested in what Pacifica said to really care about how much pain he was in.
"A new start? That is going to be hard, you have really ruined you image already. What you really need to do is help some people, help them in their lives." Dipper had not expected that he would sound like such an expert because really he wasn't, but at least he had been able to tell Pacifica what to do and she was going to do it.
"Thankyou Dipper, thankyou" She exclaimed, she came closer and huged Dipper who could only return the favor and hugged her back, signalising that everything was fixable. However, he already knew that it was going to be a hard and long proccess.
