Fine, as you know, it's been 3yrs since we last saw each other."

"Yeah, you went off to college in Europe around the time I was finishing."

"Well, I was only there for 2 before I had to leave."

"Why did you leave?"

"Because of what a bitch did to me." She said, showing a picture of a girl

"Who is this?"

"The bitch that transformed me her name is Tiffany; we were friends; I thought she was a great person, but it was all a lie."

"I know how that feels."

"Well, one night while we were, she convinced me to go to a concert they were having in some ruins…soon as we got there a second later, I was captured, stripped & chained to an altar about to be used; as a sacrifice." She said sadly

Dipper was horrified hearing the thing that Pacifica had gone through & the results of her experience.

"Sacrifice for what?"

"I don't know, but she's the leader of the cult following & she wants me dead."

"Do you know the name of this cult?

"The cult of Azar."

Dipper was shocked upon hearing the name, something that Pacifica instantly had picked up on.

"You've heard of them…?"

"Rumor during some of my cases since I set up shop."

"How did you escape?"

"After I was transformed, she tried to stab me in the heart with some ritual dagger to complete the ritual, but with my new powers, I was able to break free & ran…."

"Why didn't you contact me or ford?"

"I was scared to contact anyone…but I wanted to make sure none of my friends worried about me, so I had the school tell my parents back home that I was taking some time off to go exploring."

"Pacifica, you should have gotten help."

"Dipper, these people are crazy; for the past year, I've been running from them trying to escape them, but somehow they find me all while trying to control my power & control myself when I go into heat."

"Heat?"

"My urges become too strong, I may not need to consume life energy, but my body still wants sex…it's a miracle I lasted this long without giving in & losing my virginity."

"So last night."

"I may have lost some control, but that was because of all the alcohol…I got so horny just from that all I wanted was you…but I manage to regain control."

"When your next one…?"

"Tonight."

"How have you dealt with the others?"

"I'm usually alone in some secluded place with a lot of "toys" but now."

"But now."

Pacifica began smiling seductively at Dipper, causing him to blush.

"I have you now." She said as she placed her hand on his lap

"Pacifica!"

"Don't be like that. Besides, after last night I don't think I can resist diving into your pants." She teased

"We were drunk."

"So I'm only good-looking to you when you're plastered!" sounding offended

"No."

"then what's the problem? It's not like you're cheating; she's the cheater; she threw you away for a cheap thrill; she never deserved you, but I do & I deserve to be with you a lot more than her I always had."

Pacifica instantly blushed, pulling back as she hid her face, embarrassed, trying to find an excuse for what she said.

"Dipper, I…sorry…I don't know what."

"It's okay…but I have to go for a little while. I think I know someone who might know more about this cult."

"Where?"

"In Hollyweird…"

"Where's that…?"

"Right under us, Hollywood has the second-largest concentration of weirdness right below gravity falls; why do you think I moved here?"

"Wait, so all those monsters from all those movies."

"Yup, they're all actual; only a few people know this; the rest believe that they are either guys in costume or CG Hollyweird is where celebrity monsters live."

Dipper got up, ready to leave but stopped by Pacifica, much to his confusion.

"What's wrong?"

"Maybe I should come with you."

"No, these guys are after you; you're safer here."

"Why's that."

"Remember the unicorn spell that protected the shack from bill's magic."

"Yes"

"I had the same spell placed here; whatever means they have been tracking you is negated as long you stay inside.

Pacifica was surprised at how much Dipper went through to protect himself, even more so impressed that he managed to pull it off.

"Dipper, how did you get the unicorn hair? Mabel told me how hard it was for her to pull it off."

"Well, the unicorns here are more willing to part with their hair for the right price."

"I still want to come."

"Look, it best that you stay here & wait for me; there's no telling how long I'll be gone."

"Fine, you're right. I could use a little time to relax…but take this with you."

With a snap of her fingers, a dagger appeared in Dipper's hands. Examining it, he saw it was some ritual design with runes carved into the blade & the hilt.

"What's this?"

"It was the dagger that they tried to kill me with; when I escaped, I took it with me; it seems very important to them too as they want that back as much as they want me."

"Thanks…maybe she'll know what these runes mean."

"She…?"

"My contact is an old witch called Madam Mim; she might know about this, plus I'll see if she has anything that can help you."

"Thanks…but I still think you need help haven't ever looked into getting a partner."

"I had a want ad out, but no one answered yet."

Heading downstairs into his office, Dipper made his way to the door; he noticed his sword gunshin; after a few seconds to think it over, he decided not to take his sword. Seeing he would try to make this trip as quick as possible & didn't need to worry about fighting this time.

"I'll be fine…" he said, walking out.

Walking for half an hour to Hollyweird's entrance, Dipper found himself trying to make sense of Pacifica's situation, not to mention how to fix it. Suddenly he saw Emma, to his disgust she was with another man already kissing him.

"How many guys was that whore seeing behind my back?"

Seeing her messing around with another man only fueled his anger; she was already pulling the sweet girl performance on another guy, knowing that's how she suckered him in years ago. Suddenly Emma looked in Dipper's direction blushing with embarrassment as he looks at her causing her to walk off.

"Bitch…"

Cooling off, Dipper made his way to a lone wall down the alleyway; upon pressing a hidden button on the wall, a keypad appeared with numbers from 1-26.

8,15,12,12,25,23,5,9,18,4

After punching in the code, the whole wall morphed into an elevator door opening to let him; stepping in, the doors closed & the elevator descended while the elevator door changed back to a wall. Moments after, two cloaked people appeared out of the shadows standing in front of the same division as one began speaking into a phone while the other copied Dipper.

"My lady, we were right, he has the key, but the woman is not with him."

"Keep following him, then find out what he knows, then take the key; he must know where the avatar is if he has the key."

"What do we do after?"

"Kill him."

Later

Hollyweird was just like Hollywood; the only difference was monsters; instead of people walking around, Dipper saw many creatures, many he encountered from gravity falls & some that didn't live there.

"I never get tired of this place."

Making his way to Madam Mim's place of business, he found himself thinking of Emma becoming angry again. His focus shifted to Pacifica, remembering that while it has been 3 years since they last saw each other, it was actually 2 years since they spoke, remembering that the last time they spoke was about the same time he & Emma became a couple.

"I wonder."

Before he could think more on the subject, he realized that he was finally at Madam Mim's. Once a powerful witch that rivaled Merlin himself now makes a decent living selling potions & telling fortunes to people in her shop today; she was in her home mixing potions.

"Hey, Mim, I need your help with something." He said as he walked in

"Come in…come…in… I'm in my mixing room…."

Heading down the hallway, Dipper found himself in a large room with wall-to-wall shelves of ingredients; in the center were several pots. Each boiling with different potions with Madam Mim maintaining all of them while making sure they don't boil over.

"Now, what can I get my best customer, vampire mace, werewolf repellant, or something else? Are you turning to stone again?"

Dipper was one of Mim's best customers buying potions that helped him in his cases over the years.

"Actually, I need your help with this." He said, pulling out the dagger

Taking a quick look at it, Mim's eyes widened as she dropped what she was doing as she confronted him.

"Where did you get this!?"

"I…"

"Never mind, stay here."

Heading to the front, Mim looked out the window; seeing no one there, she hoped there was still time. She clapped her hands together and sent out magical waves covering the house, cloaking it from the outside. A few seconds later, two people in cloaks appeared looking around but became confused, then left, causing Mim to relax.

"Good, we're safe."

Heading back toward Dipper, she was finally ready to find out how he came into possession of that dagger. But, after giving her the story, a worried look came over her face as she listened.

"So you know about the cult of Azar."

"I know they've been around for centuries & your friend & this dagger are the keys to their plans.

"What…why?"

"Your friend has become an avatar."

"A what?"

"A bridge, a gateway between worlds & this dagger is the key to opening that gateway."

"How so?"

"plunging this into her heart upon her death, she will become a passageway allowing whoever or whatever to pass through."

"Do you know who they are trying to bring through?"

"After seeing this dagger's marking, I know without a doubt what is coming."

"What is?"

Creatures from another realm with powers beyond comprehension for years they've been trapped within their world through their influence may have slipped through, leading to the creation of the cult of Azar. it was never enough for any of us to worry, that is until 9 years ago; I fear weirdmageddon may have been the cause."

"How so Bill'swas contained in gravity falls' force field."

"True, but the barrier between other realms was weakened…I fear bill cipher allowed them to put their own plans into action."

Hearing this only angered Dipper more, knowing that Bill caused the threat they are dealing with; even in death, he was still haunting them.

"Even in death, that bastard is still causing trouble."

"Listen, pines; you need to keep this & the girl away from them…if they get their hands on both, they'll take back to where the ceremony began & finish what they started."

"Why there."

"Best guest, it's where the barrier is weakest between this world & theirs'."

"You don't have to worry. I'm not letting any of those bastards have ether."

Now aware of what was at stake, Dipper was determined to make sure that nothing happened to Pacifica or the world. As Dipper readied himself to leave, Mim stopped him once, giving him a sheath fitted the dagger.

"What's this?"

"Extra protection…"

"Protection?"

"This dagger is enchanted with a special spell that allows it to be tracked; I believe that that is how they kept tracking her, but so long as the blade stays in the sheath, the enchantment is canceled out, mean they can't find you, it or her…plush I added my own enchantment the dagger can't be unsheathed by anyone except the person who sheathed it"

"Wow, thanks, Mim, buy really this really going to help."

"Of course, it will. I made it; it worked when I stole King Arthur's sword & challenge him & Merlin to find it."

"How did they get it back?"

"Some rotten squirrel got in the way."

Dipper was a little cautious considering that he was aware of Mim's past, but she has benefited from the doubt before.

"I better get back, but before I go, I have one more favor." He said sheathed the dagger

Moments Later

After waiting a while, Dipper was given a bottle with pills by Mim with instructions.

"These should help your friend with her problem…but there I a better way."

"Really, how…"

"Simple, all you have to do is…MAN UP & TAP THAT ASS!" she yelled in his ear.

Annoyed as his face turned red, Dipper stormed out while Mim laughed out loud, having got him.

Later

Making it back to the top, Dipper was exiting the elevator, annoyed about Mim's suggestion.

"Crazy old witch, what does she know."

"You there, boy, you have something of ours."

Turning around, Dipper noticed two cloaked figures coming out of the shadows behind him.

"And we want it back."
