AUTHOR'S NOTE: Hello friends it is I the author of the fanfic! (not quite as awesome as being the author of the journal's) but it'll do. Anyways I wanted to address a few things before we continue down the bottomless pit that is becoming this fanfic (I have only written one-shots so far so writing a chapter story is totally new to me). First off THANK YOU for all the support, favorites, reviews, ect. This story has really gotten bigger than I could have imagined and it's all thanks to you! Second, in light of the recent chapter in which I had Pacifica acting like a total biatch I thought I would do a better job explaining where this all fits as far as continuity. Both "Northwest Mansion Mystery" and "Golf war" are taken into account as canon. The reason Pacifica was totally OOC in the last chapter will be explained in this chapter. I apologize for not explaining that better in the last chapter, but I had to keep you guys guessingJ However going back to the continuity thing I'm afraid it would be too difficult for me to incorporate the two bombs of awesome that are "Not What He Seems" and "A Tale of Two Stans" so those are not canon in this fanficL Maybe after I have gained more experience I can incorporate such an awesome story line, but now is not the time. Anyways thank you again for the support and please enjoy Chapter 7 (I don't know how long this fic will end up being….there are so many little stories I can do with this big story, so as long as I have your support I plan to continue on!)
Mabel gasped as she looked upon the device that could erase every memory of their mom and dad from their mind. "Dipper…Let's talk about this. Listen I know this is hard! And I know you've been struggling, but you don't have to struggle alone! We can struggle together! Please don't shut your emotions out! They are too important! I know how much you miss mom and dad. You don't have to miss them alone though!" Mabel said tearing up.
"That's just it Mabel I don't want to miss them. I don't want to feel this emptiness. I would rather forget everything…." Dipper said messing with the machine. "Forget them teaching us to ride our bikes? Forget picnics on the beach? Forget daddy's jokes? Forget how mom would burn the ginger bread every Christmas? Forget their love?" Mabel said bluntly. "Dipper…they wouldn't want that for us. They would want us to work through this together. That's what siblings do!" Dipper sat there for what felt like a long moment, tears beginning to form in his eyes, until finally he stood up and with every bit of emotion in his tiny body and through the machine out the window. He then burst into uncontrollable sobs. Letting out every emotion inside him. Mabel just sat and held him, letting a few tears fall herself.
They sat there for what felt like an eternity just holding on to each other. When finally Dipper spoke up, "That actually felt really good Mabel….When did you get so smart?" He asked. "Well I had a pretty good teacher," she replied gently. They both managed to grin through the tears.
"So….what on earth was up with Pacifica today? I mean I didn't expect her to be just an angel, but at the same time I thought we had made some real progress this summer. Her and that doo doo head of a boyfriend!" Mabel said angrily. "I know right! I mean we haven't seen her since her party, but last time we saw her I thought that she had….changed," Dipper said with the slightest hint of remorse. "Come to think of it that boyfriend of hers kind of threw my off….he seemed…..oddly familiar," Mabel nodded in agreement.
As if a sign from the heavens above they just then heard the doorbell "KIDS! YOUR KIND OF SORT OF BLONDE FRIEND IS HERE!" Grunkle Stan called. The twins rushed downstairs to see Pacificia in her trenchcoat and sunglasses standing in the middle of the living room. "What do YOU want?" Dipper asked sarcastically.
"For your information I came to….apologize…..I heard about the scrap you guys got into with Bill today, and I realize it was uncalled for….you know the whole orphans thing….he shouldn't have done that," Pacifica confessed. "Wait….Bill?" Dipper asked. "Uh yeah…my boyfriend does have a name you know!" Pacifica shot back.
Dipper and Mabel both had the same thought. They each grabbed one of Pacifica's hands and lead her up the stairs. Dipper locked the door behind them, and turned around to address Pacifica. "Listen Pacifica….I need you to tell us right now how/where/when you met Bill, It is extremely important!" Dipper said trying not to panic.
"Well if you must know, it all started after your parents died, I saw the whole town. The town I used to rule with an iron fist suddenly turn all of it's sympathy on you and Mabel! Suddenly I stopped mattering! I got angry! You two have to understand my popularity is ALL I HAVE! I was already in hot water with my parents for the whole Mansion disaster! All I had to go on was the attention from the people of this nothing town! I WANTED to change! I WANTED to become a better person, but I needed support! You and Mabel weren't going to give it to me! You and Mabel TOOK MY SUPPORT! I was completely ALONE! That's when Bill came into my life. He promised to give me that support! That unconditional love that I have longed for all my life! His only condition was that I couldn't be nice to you guys, and no offense after everything that happened I didn't feel like being nice to you guys! He has been the best thing that has ever happened to me! He has given me someone to talk to about all my feelings! He supports and loves me! So excuse me if I had to be a little cruel to get that!" Pacifica said completely breaking down.
Mabel offered her an arm of support, but Pacifica turned it down. Dipper started pacing the floor like he always did when he was thinking. "Tell me Pacifica…is there anything odd about Bill? Anything that doesn't seem quite normal?" Dipper asked.
"Well….now that you mention it…he does have trouble doing the simpliest things: like eating, and sleeping, but he told me it was because his family is foreign….whatever that means?" Pacifica confessed. Dipper started freaking out, "Pacifica has he said anything about Mabel and I? anything at all?" Dipper said, trying hard to sound calm, but failing miserably. "Well when we first started dating he promised to give me everything my heart desired, but that one day he would ask one favor of me involving you guys, and that he wouldn't take no for an answer…but I'm sure he just meant some stupid prank. He has given me so much that it seems like a small part to pay. You guys understand right?" Pacifica asked starting to get a bit nervous. "Pacifica….I think you have made a deal with Bill Cipher…." Dipper said to terrified to show any emotion.
