Chapter 4: Diana
So as the day turned to night, Soos and Wendy went home, Stan went to his room and the twins were upstairs in bed, but someone else was in the house with them. The shadow of the person was in the living room, making its way up to the attic. But it hit a lamp and it fell to the ground making a lot of noise.
"Dipper, Mabel, was that one of you two?" Stan Asked.
"No, I thought that you made that noise." Dipper replied. Mabel didn't reply, she was already asleep. As Stan started going downstairs, the shadowed figure heard his footsteps and hid behind the armchair. When Stan got downstairs, he put his brass knuckles on and started looking around the ground floor. He held his breath so he could hear the soft exhale of the intruder, Stan knew exactly where he was. He walked closer to the chair.
"Come on out, I know you're here." He said. The intruder stood up with his hands in the air.
"Fine, you got me but please don't hurt me sir." The intruder said. Dipper who was on the stairs, heard the voice and thought 'Wait, is that who I think it is?'
"I'll teach you not to sneak into my home!" Stan said getting ready to punch the intruder. But before he punched the intruder, Dipper told him to stop.
"What's the big idea defending the thief!?" Stan said in anger.
"Well this person's not a thief, it's Pacifica." Dipper said. Pacifica stands up and goes behind Dipper.
"How did you know it was her?"
"Because I could tell by her voice." Dipper said.
"Ok then, but why is she here at this hour!?" He asked. Stan and Dipper turned to Pacifica, she didn't say a word, all she did was look at them straight back in the eyes. But after a bit, she snapped.
"OK then, I'll tell you. I came here because I wanted to give Dipper back his hat and I wanted to talk to him for a bit."
"What!?" They yelled.
"Yep, I need to talk to you about the lumberjack ghost party that happened 5 years ago." She replied.
"Yeah ok, but not here and not at 1AM." Said Stan.
"I'll dress up like Diana later so we can talk." Pacifica interrupted Dipper and said:
"But it's urgent!"
"Fine, but you got 5 minutes. After that, leave cause I don't want to deal with Northwest's again." Stan said.
"No problem." Said Pacifica, she grabbed Dipper's arm and took him upstairs.
"Haha, so two girls are going after Dipper. and what did Dipper mean by 'dress up like Diana?'" Stan said to himself.
Up in the twins' room.
"Why is she here? It's 1AM and I want to sleep." Mabel said.
"Pacifica is going to be here for about a minute, then you can go back to sleep." Dipper said kindly.
"Fine." She replied. Dipper turn to Pacifica and asked:
"So, what did you want to tell me?"
"Well first, your hat, your forgot it at my place today." Pacifica said while handing it over.
"Oh how did I forget my hat, thanks a lot P."
"You're welcome." Pacifica said with a smile. Straight after she said, 'You're welcome', Dipper paused for a second to think. And just then he came up with an idea.
"You know what we should do?" Dipper said all excited.
"Why are you asking me that question?" Asked Pacifica.
"We should host a little get together, meet some friends, chat a while, plus this way we can hang a bit." Mabel jumped up and shouted.
"Yeah, that's a great idea! I'm Organizing the Party! This'll be the perfect chance for me to get closer to Ernest."
"Who's Ernest?" Pacifica said.
"A friend of ours, he's here in Gravity falls for 3 more days." Dipper said.
"His got black hair, brown eyes, he's so dreamy and he's French" Said Mabel
"Oh wait, I do know who he is, he's a friend of one of my best friends!" Pacifica said.
"Who's your best friend's name?" Dipper and Mabel asked.
"Victoire, she's a little bit different, but I think you'd get along with her well Mabel." She replied. But just before the twins could say anything, Stan slammed the door open and said:
"Times up, time to go Pacifica."
"Oh ok, well I'll tell you later, bye." She said while walking down the stairs.
"Yep, see ya." Dipper replied. He turned off the lights, walked over to his bed and flopped onto the bed face first.
"Hey Dipper?" Said Mabel.
"Yeah?" He replied.
"Out of all the seven billion people in the world, how many French people are named Victoire? And what are the odds it'll be the same Victoria we know" Asked Mabel.
"I honestly think it's the same one. I mean it is a small world we live in, plus Victoria even said that her name is extremely rare." Said Dipper.
"Okay, Well we'll deal with this in the morning, I'm tired… Good Night." She said.
"Night Mabel."
That Morning, Dipper and Mabel were in the kitchen, Dipper was dressed as Diana so that he could meet up with Pacifica. He was also scribbling away on his notepad, writing down stuff for the party. Mabel, meanwhile, was drinking a tall glass of 'Mabel juice' while playing with Dipper's wig.
"How are you so good at looking like a girl?" Mabel asked.
"Theatre, helping you and that's about it."
"Why don't you dress up as Diana more often?" Dipper turned to her.
"Because I don't want to always dress up like this." He replied
"Alrighty, also, for the Party. Who's going to be the DJ?" Asked Mabel.
"Soos, I mean who else." Dipper replied.
"Yeah, he did well last time Stan had a party, but lets have someone a bit better, you know who I'm talking about." Mabel said and added a wink.
"We're going to let Soos DJ and also, even if I didn't want Soos to be DJ, Marco isn't in Oregon and is most likely got his hands full with his Karate classes." Dipper replied.
"Fine, but if you call him, he could come." Said Mabel.
"I'll think about it, it's not one of my priorities right now. Question: what snacks should we have?"
"Popcorn, Chips, Pizza, Drinks, Pretzels and Candy." Mabel said.
"Okay yeah that's all good, But what kind of drinks and be more precise for the candy?"
"Pitt cola, Dew Peak (Mtn Dew parody), Danta (Fanta parody), Prof. Salt (parody of Dr. pepper) and for the candy, Jellybeans, Gobstoppers, Comet explosions (Star Bursts parody), gummy worms and battle brains (War heads parody)." Mabel said.
"Wow, you thought of all that on the spot?" Asked Dipper.
"Yep, I mean I always have sugar on the brain, or boys, or both, sometimes boys covered in sugar, or boys the size of sugar cubes or boys made out of sugar..." Mabel started to ramble on and on and on. Dipper looked at the clock in the kitchen, it was 11am.
"Ah crap, we were supposed to meet Pacifica 30 minutes ago! Mabel you were supposed to keep an eye on the time while I was writing" Dipper said while running to the door.
"You know very well that I can't read the little arms of an analogue clock Dipper!" Yelled Mabel running after him. Once in town, they met up with to Pacifica to talk about the party plans.
"Where have you losers been? I've been waiting for 45 minutes now!" Pacifica said angrily.
"Sorry P, we didn't keep track of time, plus someone still doesn't know how to read the time." Dipper said while scratching the back of his head.
"Well we're here now that's what's important, let's talk about the party and plan some fun activities!" Mabel yelled joyfully.
So, they went and sat at a nearby bench, Mabel and Dipper told Pacifica all the ideas they had for the party. Both groups exchanged ideas and tried to balance them all in a way that'll work.
"Wow, you guys really planned out everything." Pacifica was amazed with everything that they had planned.
"Hehe, Thanks Pacifica! OHHH wait! I was just wondering That best friend of yours, Victoire. Is she some French Girl with dark hair, fiery eyes, good fashion sense and has 13 brothers?" Asked Mabel.
"Um… Yeah exactly, but how did you know?" But before anyone could add anything, like the devil being summoned after speaking his name, Victoria appeared out of nowhere:
"Hey Pacifica, how have you been?"
"Hey Vicky, I'm good, how about you?"
"Same. Oh Hey Mabel, I didn't see you there."
"Hey Victoria, where's Hot Stuff? I mean My Little Escargot? I mean Ernest?" Asked Mabel.
"Well his going to go see Dipper at the Shack." At that moment, Dipper let out a "Really?" Victoria turn to Dipper and said with a smile:
"Oh Hello, who are you?" Dipper cleared his throat and said in a girly voice:
"I'm Diana, one of Pacifica's friends."
"Well nice to meet you Diana. So, what are you girls talking about?"
"A party Dipper, Pacifica and I are planning." Mabel said.
"But if you're planning something with Dipper, shouldn't he be here?" Victoria pointed out.
"Well he's on his way." Dipper said.
"And how would you know that Diana?" Victoria said.
"Aaahh...Well...he called me...a few...minutes ago." Dipper said with hesitation.
"Okay then, well I have to go anyway, I came to say hi since I saw Mabel and Pacifica, but it was nice to meet you Diana, give Dipper a hug from me and we can talk another time." Said Victoria.
"Okay sure, bye Victoria." Dipper said.
"Bye bye Victoria, see you next time." Mabel yelled
"Bye Vicky, See you later." Pacifica said as she gave her a hug.
"Bye everyone." Victoria said while walking away. Dipper rubbed the sweat off his head and said:
"That was close."
"Yeah, I know right? Please she's got a sharp eye, you'll have to be super cautious around her in your Diana outfit." Dipper replied with a simple nod.
"Well, I'm going home to get ready for tonight, Victoria's family are coming over." Pacifica replied.
"But we're not done planning the party. Plus it's nice out, don't you want to stay a little more?" Dipper said.
"You guys are doing well handling things, so you can take care of the rest, but I would like the party to be this Sunday. And yeah, I'd like to at least relax and shower before having to act all high and mighty" She replied.
"Yeah, that's understandable about wanting to relax and rinse off a bit, But that leaves us 2 days to plan out the whole party." Dipper said.
"Then get started, you guys are fast and efficient." Pacifica explained.
"No problem Pacifica! We got this! let's go bro." Mabel said.
"Fine. see ya P." Dipper said.
"Bye Pines." She replied while walking away.
