Chapter 10: Elizabeth
Later that day, Dipper and Victoria were in the cinema and were waiting for the movie to begin. Victoria was cuddling up to Dipper, while Dipper was trying to get out of the cuddle lock. And all of a sudden, Dipper heard a whisper saying:
"I need to talk to you, meet me in the Dreamscape." Dipper looked at Victoria, then tried to fall asleep without her realizing. He closed his eyes and after a minute, he fall asleep.
In the Dreamscape, Dipper was in the same garden as before, he saw the same two people talking. one of the two had long hair down to their back, and the other had a dress on. The one in the dress, looked over at Dipper and gave him a thumbs up. Dipper started to worry, he started to think that the two people could see him. After a few seconds, Bill appeared behind him and said:
"Looks like the date is going well."
"Yeah I know, but why did you want me to accept, you know I'm not going to end up with her, so why?" Dipper asked.
"Because you need the experience. Do you think your dad only went on dates with your mum? No! Before her, he went on dates with all kinds of girls." Bill explained.
"So you want me to go on multiple dates with Victoria?"
"No, not necessary. Just finish the date with her, then you can go home to your precious Sweetheart."
"Cool, Is that all?"
"One last thing, keep your scissors with you, you're going to need them."
"Alright, I'm going."
When Dipper woke up, he found himself still in the same position, cuddling with Victoria. She was watching the movie and hadn't realized that he was asleep. Dipper sat up and watched the movie without saying a word. After the movie, Dipper and Victoria left the cinema hand in hand.
"Wow, that was so good. Not as good as the original, but still fun to watch. Anyway, where to next?" She asked.
"We need to go to the market to get supplies for the picnic." He said.
"Then let's go." Victoria started running while dragging Dipper, when all of a sudden, she ran into a girl. Both girls fell to the floor. The other girl had blond hair, green eyes, she was wearing glasses, a pair of short shorts, and a T-shirt that was too big for her.
"Are you alright?" Dipper asked handing out both hands to the girls.
"I'm fine." Victoria replied.
"I'm alright." The girl looked up at Dipper.
"What a second, you're Dipper, aren't you?" The girl asked.
"Yeah but, how do you know my name?" Dipper asked. 'So this is the boy she has been telling me about. I'm sorry, but never tell me about someone you admire, my darling.' The girl thought to herself.
"My cousin told me a lot about you, she's always saying that you're so nice and courageous."
"Alright but, that doesn't help me. I still don't know who you are, and who's you cousin?" Dipper asked.
"I'm Elizabeth, Pacifica's cousin." She said with a smile putting her hand out for a handshake. Dipper shook her hand and finally realized what she had said previously.
"Wait, she said all those nice things about me?" He asked. Elizabeth grinned to herself.
"Well yeah, and she said some nice things about you, really nice things." She said and winked at him. Dipper was in shock, he couldn't say anything.
"Elizabeth Cantini, you have changed so much, it's nice to see you again." Victoria said and ran to hug her.
"Vicky, how are you? It's been forever." She said running to hug her.
"Hey, I'm going to meet up with some friends. Do you want to come?" Elizabeth asked.
"Well, we're on a date right know. Maybe an other time." Vicky said.
"Oh really?" Elizabeth said seductively. Dipper was still in shock. He didn't expect Pacifica to say all those nice things about him. He started to get lost in his thoughts. 'I can't believe it, Bill was right again! But let's think logically here, just because she's saying nice think about me, doesn't mean I should jump to conclusions. I mean, friends do that all the time. They show off how cool their friends are right?'
"Come on Dipper, lets go." Victoria said.
"Alright." He replied like a mindless zombie. As the two walked off, Dipper look back at Elizabeth, she smiled at him but Dipper didn't reply. Later that day, at the Gravity falls waterfall, Victoria and Dipper were sitting down, getting everything set up for their picnic.
"It was a great idea coming here for a picnic, it's calm and it's very sunny today." Victoria explained.
"I was sure that you would like it." He replied. Vicky replied with a smile. Both Dipper and Victoria were struggling to find a topic to talk about, Dipper asked the first thing that popped into his head:
"So, what's it like living in Europe?"
"Well, the schooling system is very different; People live a lot more relaxed and so on." She responded.
"What do you mean by: 'More relaxed'?"
"Well example: In a lot of European countries, we usually have a sit down lunch. Meanwhile here, I can see you have a 'on the go' kind of meal." Victoria explained.
"That's true, for some people." He replied. They fell into an awkward silence, Victoria asked a simple question:
"What kind of books are you into?"
"I like all kinds of books, Drama; Thriller; Fantasy; Romance; Sci-fi and so on." He said.
"How about you?" Dipper asked. They continued talking about their favorite books, authors and all that for awhile, till Victoria had to go.
"I'm sorry that I have to leave, I would have loved to stay longer, but my parents want me home at 7pm." She said.
"That's fine, it happens." He replied. Victoria grabbed Dippers hand and said:
"Wanna walk me home?" Dipper nodded and started walking with her. On the way back, they ran into Mabel and Pacifica who had at least four shopping bags each.
"Hey you two, how's it going?" Pacifica asked.
"Not bad, we just finished our date and I'm taking her home." Dipper replied.
"Alright, Oh Pines are you doing anything tonight?" Pacifica asked.
"Nah not much, why?"
"Well, I'll tell you after your date. That's more important right now." She said. Dipper didn't reply and started talking to Mabel while Vicky and P started talking.
"So how's the shopping been going?"
"Good, I got 3 new sweats, some pants for waddles and a fashion magazine."
"Alright. Do you know want P wanted to ask?" Dipper asked.
"Nope, no clue."
"Dipper, we really gotta move. I don't want to be late." Victoria exclaimed while pulling Dipper by the arm.
"See ya later Vicky. And Dipper, tell Diana to come to my place at 8pm." P said with a wink. Dipper replied with a quick nod. After taking Victoria home, Dipper rasht back to the Mystery Shack so he could change clothes and get to Pacifica's place. He ran though the door at incredible speed, went upstairs, changed and left in the space of 2 minutes. But before he could leave, Stan stood in his way:
"Where ya going kid?"
"Nowhere." He replied with hesitation.
"Then why are you dressed in your 'Diana' Outfit, you're obviously going to meet with the Northwests kid."
"So? You got a problem with that?" Dipper said defensively.
"Nah, I don't care. Just tell me honestly where you're going, and I'll let you go." Stan said while moving out of the way.
"Wow, thanks grunkle Stan." He replied with a hug. Stan hugged him back and said:
"No prob kid, just don't be home TOO late."
"I won't" He said, running out the door. At that moment, Ford came up to the kitchen:
"You know he'll be home extremely late, right?" Ford asked.
"Yeah, I know. But it's fine, he can take care of himself, heck, he has dealt with the monsters from your journals."
"Yeah that's true." He said with a laugh. Dipper made his way to P's house check if he has everything in his backpack:
"Phone, Wallet, Scissors, Message for P, Sword, Mirror and lipstick. Perfect." He said quietly to himself. He arrived at the gates of the mansion, he adjusted his wig and pressed on the buzzer. Dipper waiting a few seconds then someone replied.
"Hello welcome to the Northwest mansion, this is Pacifica, how my I help me." Dipper started laughing and said:
"Wow, they made you memorize that stupid excuse of an introduction."
"Just shut up and come in." She replied angrily. At that moment, the gates opened, Dipper walked inside, checking his makeup. He went up to the door and knocked. The door was opened by Hank who was pleased to see Diana again. Meanwhile behind him, Pacifica's parents were talking to Mr And Mrs de Montadent. Dipper looked over by the stairs and when he saw Pacifica in her blue dress with let back hair, he was speechless.
"Hey Diana, I'm so glad you came." She said while giving him a hug. Dipper didn't reply, he was still was in shock.
"Hello Diana, how have you been?" Asked Preston.
"Ah...I'm alright, th..thank you and yy...you?" Dipper said in a girly voice while stuttering.
"I'm fine thank you, so I guess Pacifica invited you." He said with a forced smile.
"Yep. May we go upstairs with the others?" She asked.
"Yes you may, but I want you all down at the dining table at 9pm."
"Of course Father." She replied.
"Then go have fun upstairs, I'll see you girls later." Preston said while walking away. Pacifica grabbed Dipper and said:
"Let's go, before he changes his mind." Then, she ran upstairs while dragging Dipper along. When up in the room, Dipper saw every girl he met in the passed few days. There was Victoria, Elizabeth, Lucy, Elodie and even Star.
"Wow you're all here?" He asked.
"Um, Who are you?" Elizabeth asked.
"I guess she's one of P's friends." Lucy replied.
"That's Diana, an old friend of Pacifica's. You don't know her Liz? (Elizabeth's nickname)" Vicky stated.
"Really, wow I love your hair, it's so pretty!" Lucy shouted.
"Ah...Thanks." He said hesitantly. 'Lucy, do you honestly like the hair? It's a 5 dollar cheep wig and you like it? Are you kidding me?' Dipper thought to himself.
"So, now that we're all here. Let's talk." P exclaimed. Dipper wiped the sweat off his head and sat next to Star. She look at him, smiled, leaned in to his ear and whispered:
"Hey Dipper, I know it's you. Cause first of all, your body is a bit too boyish. Secondly, the alone boy the P would invite is you. And lastly, I'm sorry Dipper, but you don't have the face to be a girl." Dipper didn't reply, he didn't want to blow his cover. 'Wait, did Star literally just say that my face isn't pretty enough? That little bitch.' He thought to himself.
"So Diana, what do you think of Dipper?" Asked Liz.
"Um...Well...His very nice and...Um...SMART!...very smart and stuff...But I don't like him! How about you?" Explained Dipper.
"Well, I hear a lot about him for P, but I don't have an opinion...yet." Said Liz.
"What are you talking about? I haven't told you a lot about him!" Shouted Pacifica.
"Ah yes you have: 'He's so nice'; 'He's so funny'; 'He's so courageous.'" Said Liz while imitating P. Pacifica slammed her hand to the ground which made the room vibrate. Everyone went silent from shock.
"That's enough. Don't say another word." Pacifica said angrily.
"Or what? Is little P gonna get mad?" Asked Elizabeth. Pacifica turned to Liz, looked her directly in the eyes and said:
"Your 11th birthday, Robert's gift and what you did with it."
"I'm sorry P, I want say anything like that again. Please don't tell them." Liz said while sobbing and begging.
"Fine, but just this once. Let's move on, so Vicky, how's it going with Ernest." P asked.
"Not super well, we got into a fight just before."
"Why?" Dipper asked.
"Well, because I went on a date with Dipper and he wasn't happy about that. I told him that it was just cause his my friend, but Ernest didn't want to believe me." She said sadly. 'Well at least we now know Ernest really does like Vicky, and that's good she thought it was just an outing between friends.' Dipper thought.
"I can't believe it, why doesn't he trust you?" Lucy asked.
"I don't know."
"Alright girls, let's stop talk about this crap." Liz exclaimed.
"Fine. So how was the date?" Asked Pacifica.
"It was good, we had a few silent moments but it wasn't the worst thing. I did like the movie and the picnic." Victoria explained. Dipper grabbed a cup of soda and started drinking from it so they couldn't see his face blush.
"Well that's good. Did (h)e ask you on a second date?" Asked Elodie.
"Yeah he did." She said proudly. Dipper was shock, he spate the drink out and yelled:
"Why are you lying?" Everyone went silent, they were looking at him perplexingly. Dipper stood up and said:
"Why are you lying? He didn't ask you out on a second date."
"And how would you know? Where you there? I don't think so Diana." Exclaimed Victoria in rage while standing up, looking him in the eye. Dipper took off his wig and said calmly:
"I was there, the whole time in fact. And I know for a fact that I didn't ask you out for a second date." Everyone looked at Dipper in shock. Victoria looked at him, her eyes started to fill up with tears, she sat down and huddle herself into a ball. Dipper didn't want to say anything else. He put his wig back on and left to the garden. Pacifica ran after him. In the garden, Dipper was looking at the fountain. He didn't know why but he recognized the fountain. Pacifica finally caught up to him.
"What the hell are you doing? Are you stupid?" She asked.
"I don't want to deal with this right know."
"Well too bad, you're gonna deal with this and you're gonna listen well. Why the hell would you yell at her, you know she just got in a fight with Ernest, but you get mad anyway. The only reason she would say that is if she really liked you, at least did. I don't know what's going to happen to with her feelings now." Dipper turn to Pacifica and smiled:
"I know she likes me and I know she won't hate me forever, but you better leave the garden now."
"Why should I leave?"
"Cause, shits about to go down." At that moment, Preston came to the garden in raged.
"HOW DARE YOU!" He shouted.
"Well it's about 8:30, I better go." Dipper said.
"You're not going anywhere!" Preston shouted with an evil smile on his face.
"P, take this piece of paper. It's very important, it's the only way to find me." Dipper said handing over the paper.
"Where are you going?" She asked. Dipper didn't reply, he smile, took out the scissors and cut a hole through the dimension.
"Later." He said while jumping through the hole.
"DIPPER! YOU'RE NOT GETTING AWAY!" Preston yelled while running towards the portal. But the hole closed before he got there.
