Like I said I'm uploading a finishing up Chapter. This is not an official full chapter this is Chapter Eight and a Half. It is being written because the last chapter wasn't really finished up and I wasn't going to finish it up in the Next chapter which is going up next week as per usual. So this is a shorter Half-Chapter. Don't consider it a Chapter! Great!

The Race:

Mabel sat still in the pilots seat of her vessel looking out the window at Robek who sat in his own vessel across from her, his was a darkly colored sportstyle vessel, though scraped and bruised in many places it still seemed largely functional. The Engines revved with a slight roar from the thrusters, and Mabel glared through her window at her opponent. Tambarey stood with a bored expression off to one side, with the wave of her hand she motioned for the start of the race. The two vehicles burst off the starting line roaring around sharp turns, and through narrow caverns. About half-way through the race Mabel took a detour, she sped between two close rocks, down a narrow passage, putting her a good two minutes in front of Robek, still the Shuttle didn't make it through without a couple scrapes. She spun around the corners once more, taking far more risks than Robek seemed willing to. For anyone else it would have been suicide, and yet Mabel pulled it off. She successfully managed to thread the needle between thin crevices on multiple occasions in near impossible ways.

The simple fact of the matter of the race was simple, there was an experienced, well-trained, Militia Pilot, versus a Teenager in a half-scrap metal shuttle that was falling apart at the seems, so obviously Robek didn't stand a chance.

As the race winded too a close with Mabel's victory the Pilot pulled up with a frown.

"I'm not sure what you did, but it must have been cheating, because there's no way I got beaten by some little kid."

"Well ya did, because nothing stops the power of Mabel!"

"Sure, whatever, I didn't really care anyway, I mean, I went easy on you, cause I didn't care."


The Search:

Dipper and Pacifica walked along the winding Rope Bridges and Narrow streets of Pamarthe, their eyes scanning the area around them for any signs of the Jedi they had been looking for. Still there was nothing, no signs, no connection, nothing but a bunch of empty streets.

Then they heard a yell of anger, an Old Man was chasing a group of teenagers away with a spade, and from the state of his appearance he wasn't at all sane, his clothes were ragged and worn, and his beard fell in wild amounts from his head where he wore a large widebrimmed cap often warn by those who lived on desert worlds, or bounty hunters. Pacifica looked away returning to her attempt to find the Jedi, but Dipper stopped, he held up the Holocron, and blinked.

Pacifica had kept walking, not noticing her partner had stopped, until she turned to see he was standing still looking at the oldman with a strange (and in her opinion dorky) grin. Pacifica walked back to him, and he turned to her his eyes bright, "That's him, that's the guy we're looking for Mcgukkit."

"You're serious? We came all the way here to find this Jedi, and that's what we get?"

"Hey, it's probably just a disguise to keep people from figuring out he's a Jedi."

Pacifica shrugged and the two drew closer, the old man turned to face them with a feral-expression, his eyes widening in fear.

"Who are you? Have you come to take my vital organs? Well, you can't have them, they're mine, and I made sure of that so back off!" The man yelled in his crazed state.

"Right, so this is supposed to be a Jedi?" Pacifica said with an eyeroll.

"I mean, maybe he's still playing the role?" Dipper replied.

"Answer my questions or I'll give you a clobberin' you'll never forget." The man yelled raising his spade in his defense.

"I apologize, I'm Dipper Pines this is Pacifica Northwest, we came here seeking a Jedi named Mcgukkit? Are you him? We're looking for the author of this Holocron." Dipper said holding up the device which flickered to show a glowing blue-hand.

"How should I know? I'm, wait did y'say Mcgukkit, well that's me, after all there's only one Mcgukkit on Pamarthe! Now what can I do you for? Or was it do for you? Nevermind, why should I help you, you might be imperial spies!" The man yelled out still wildeyed.

"Look, I've got a lightsaber, a blue one, see? I'm a Jedi, and the Empire hasn't been on Pamarthe in years anyway." Dipper said, he showed the man his ignited lightsaber, and smiled.

"Oh, well, I suppose that's alright, but I'm confuzzled about everything you said myself. Y'see I've been on Pamarthe for many years now, but I don't know how I got here, or where I came from before here. I know there's something important I'm supposed to know, but I don't know what it is."

"Could it be about the Jedi?" Dipper asked looking at the man pleadingly.

"Don't know, maybe. Oh, I remember something, follow me, we've got to find it!"

"Great." Pacifica remarked sarcastically.

"Oh come on, how bad can it be?"

"Wading through a pile of trash? Well I'll give you this you really know how to treat a girl."

As the two young force-users rushed through the junkyard after Mcgukkit, they moved through piles of broken down pieces of Spacecraft, broken glass, and the occasional Plastoid pieces of armor. The group eventually reached the top of a hill of metal junk where Mcgukkit was clawing through piles of junk, after a couple moments he cried out in jubilation, "I found, it found it, haha!"

He revealed a small box of durosteel, that he opened quickly to reveal a thin cylindrical piece of metal marked with switches and buttons, Dipper blinked for a moment and then laughed. "A Lightsaber, a good old-fashioned Lightsaber."

"Yes, that's it, I used to be one of them whatsits."

"Jedi." Dipper said

"Yes those, but then, then something terrible happened! Why can't I remember, why?"

"Because, um. I don't know?" Dipper replied.

"Listen you dorks, if the Force can mess with peoples minds why can't that be what happened to Mcgukkit? I mean couldn't his master, or a Sithlord broken his memories to prevent him from telling people about whatever happened?" Pacifica said looking between the other two.

"Right, I mean, it's possible?" Dipper said, "Which means I can reverse it. Probably."

"Great, get on it then." Pacifica said rolling her eyes.

"Mcgukkit can I enter your mind?" Dipper asked politely.

"Erm, I mean, yes! If you can fix whatever happened to me then yes, I'll let you inside my mind!"

Dipper smiled, closing his eyes and focussing, Pacifica felt Dipper's mind extending entering Mcgukkits, looking around for answers. Then Dipper recoiled in shock his eyes blinking open, "I tried, but your mind its so broken, so very very broken, I don't know if I'll ever be able to fix it."

"It's okay, I didn't expect it to work anyway, worth a try though, now watch out for the one-eyed sith, the bringer of the darkness!" The man's voice went from normal to completely broken in a second, without any warning or apparent reason behind it.

"Yep, great he's crazy, Dipper running might be a good idea." Pacifica said, grabbing Dipper's arm and taking a step away from the man.

"You might be right on this one Paz." Dipper replied as the two rushed off, sliding down the piles of trash and leaping over larger parts of old hover-bikes or Shuttles.


The two emerged in a nearby cafe two minutes later, Dipper sat down with a sullen sigh, and looked down with a disappointed expression on his face. After a couple of minutes Pacifica was finally forced to speak, "Fine. What are you upset about Dipper?"

"What. Oh, erh, nothing it's just, we finally found a clue, found something tangible, the Jedi apprentice of the guy who wrote these Holocrons but he's insane and so incredibly broken, and it's all for nothing, we got nothing no answers and it feels as if we're just going to run up against a Dead End and this guy is going to be dead, and it's just all so pointless."

"You dork, don't you hear yourself, we found the guy's apprentice, whose still alive, on a world that was occupied by the Empire for Twenty Years, and now, you're complaining that you think we won't find the guy that disappeared from the galaxy entirely?"

"I'm, maybe, I mean what if he disappeared because he died?"

"Then you'll get your answer, you'll find the guy and he'll be dead, but at least you'll have an answer right?"

"I want more than just an answer now, at the beginning it was a mystery, now I want to be a Jedi now, a real one ok?"

"And you can be, there is an entire galaxy out there! I mean there's already a Jedi Praxeum on Yavin IV. So why can't you go there? Anyway no matter what happens I'll be there for you. Anyway stop being so depressed, it isn't as cute as the weird dorky-Jedi in training thing." Pacifica said with a grin.

"What?"

Then Pacifica kissed Dipper, it wasn't a light kiss either, at first Dipper was in shock, but he molded into it. Pacifica pulled away with a smile, "See you look better already."


Mabel was cheerful, she'd won a race against her brother's old arch-enemy, and her day was going pretty great, and then she walked into the cafe where she was supposed to meet her brother, and she saw him kissing Pacifica.

That wasn't bad inherently, but he didn't even notice her as she walked in, and why would he? He was growing up, and she was as well, she didn't care about him and Pacifica being a thing (partially because she thought it was adorable), as long as her brother was there for her as usual, that was what mattered. So she decided to step outside to give them some space, but even that couldn't go well, because waiting outside was New Republics special forces, a woman stood in the front her Orange hair dancing wildly in the wind, a lightsaber at her side.

"This is New Republic Special Forces, the building is surrounded. Please step outside we'd rather not open fire, but that might change based on your reaction to our demands."


Ah-ha! Plothook for next weeks thing! Also, Dipper and Pacifica are officially together now. And Mabel is typical Mabel, slightly jealous that A) Her Brother got an actual proper romantic relationship before her, and B) Her brother seems to have entirely forgotten her existence.

Basically consider this my building up stuff for the future. Also Next week Pacifica's backstory is revealed. Wendy is this version of Wendy still. Dipper asks fridging Mara Jade Skywalker for help, and possibly the line "Blaster Bolts! Wait, I'm alone I can swear for real this time Kri-"

Anyways Review tell me what you think, any character or Legends/Canon mentions that anyone has? Any questions about the plot? Any angrily worded complaints about my choice for Dipper's relationships? Well you can put all those and More in the Comments!
