Chapter 3
My reflection stared back at me frowning, my skin tone a few shades darker than my natural skin tone, obvious by the difference in my face to my neck, and a sad wobbly attempt of drawn on eyeliner on my face, the excited ringing of my phone suddenly interrupted my focus and I left the bathroom, eager at the distraction so I don't remember the lack of talent I have in putting on my own make up, I picked up the phone and blinked at the unexpected name that appeared on my phone, I answered hesitantly, "...Hey Devon, What's up? Are you still up for tonight, hm?"
"Yah...I'm great! just...making sure you're still go-going," he said carefully, his voice pouring nerves.
"Yeah I am, why wouldn't I be? How about you? You don't sound good?" I asked in concern, wondering why he called instead of simply texted me, he wasn't the type to call me usually unless it was some sort of emergency, but I shrugged it off,"You don't sound good, if you want we could try again another time?"
"No—!" He squeaked before clearing his voice, before it seemed to go down an octave as he repeated, "No! I'm fine, just really excited about the Misery Twins—!"
"Mystery Twins," I corrected, amused, wondering if he was really interested in the two performers.
"Yes! Mystery Twins, that's what I meant!" He coughed, seemingly clearing up his throat, "Just excited to see the strange things those city kids could offer us..."
"You seem really excited for this, I'd never thought this was your kind of thing, you seemed more like a guy that'd prefer to head to the library or find fun in going to a museum," I said honestly as I looked into my closet pulling out a forest green jacket and dark orange jacket, before staring at my picks for a moment before throwing the green jacket onto my bed.
"Haha..." Devon laughed weakly in response, "I'm one to always surprise..."
"Yeah, excited to see you guys, remember we are meeting at the usual place and...um.." I fidgeted nervously with the black jeans, taking a breath in, hesitating before confessing hurriedly, "We have two more extra...friends coming there, make sure to warn everyone else..."
"Uhhh, do we know em?" He asked in sudden confusion and...disappointment?
I wondered why h sounded a little disappointed, it would've been fun usually to have more people to come and hang out, getting to know them and make a new friend if it was anyone else than the girls I invited, but they didn't know that yet so I thought it was a bit odd before just forgetting the thought and only hummed in confirmation to him before continuing on hoping my voice doesn't give off any weirdness, "...I also should really go now, I'm still getting ready. Bye."
"Are they—" he didn't get to finish before I hung up. I felt bad about it, but I prefer to not continue a conversation filled with guessing games of who did Pacifica invited other than Gideon, I sighed throwing black jeans on the bed, wondering whether I should wear it or maybe something else.
I pressed my lips together and saw the mirror in my room reminding me of the mess that was my face, I quickly left my room in a hurry to go to the bathroom and wash my face, only to freeze at the sound of my mother's voice,
"Honey?" I tilted my head downwards, trying to not meet her eyes and hiding my sad attempts, dread filled me as she stepped in front of me and I bit my lips, "You're going out tonight, right?"
"Yes, Mom..." I replied, trying to pass by her while still being as polite as possible, "Excuse me, I got to go to the bathroom..."
"Hmmm, Why are you looking down?" Mom questioned curiously, her eyes staring me down, sounding slightly amused probably at the sight of my chicken patterned pajamas, "Are you trying to hide your face?"
"No," I hurriedly answered, "I just want to go to bathroom—"
"Show me your face."
"But—!"
"Show me your Face Pacifica Elise Northwest." Mom stated sternly.
My mind scattered around trying to find an excuse, only to come up empty as I felt slender but rough hands pull my chin upwards roughly, for a moment, our eyes met, and I looked to the side, refusing to meet her gaze, a question left her as soon as she got a look, "...Why are you wearing Make-Up? Especially my make up of all things?"
"I was going to wash it off—" I started truthfully, uncomfortable at being caught wearing her make up.
"Was it for a boy? You know you don't need make-up on your face for any boy, I really hope you weren't trying to impress a boy of any sort." She said, her eyes cold, "You should know better that boys will just want you for one thing in this time of your life, Pacifica—"
"No! I didn't I wasn't wearing it for a boy or for any of those things..." I said feeling uncomfortable with the way my mother was looking at me, "and I thought that your make would fit me fine..."
She raised an eyebrow.
"I was just trying it out...since..." I said, stepping back, wanting more space.
"Since?"
"I thought make up was cool..." I shrugged, it wasn't a lie exactly, though after having it on my face, I decided it wasn't really for me, and that I don't understand how Jenny or Candy could endure that stuff on their face without accidentally wiping it off their face.
She raised an eyebrow, "When did you start thinking make up was cool?" She asked, "You never showed an interest before, "And why did you use so much? It's the wrong shade and you shouldn't be covering your freckles, they are pretty."
I looked away, "I just thought I'd look prettier with the stuff."
"You are beautiful no matter if you're wearing make up or not, so don't ever think you'd look prettier, I think you look pretty enough without it," she stated confidently, my mother was a woman that is all about natural beauty, rarely ever wearing obvious amounts of make up, light skin and natural dirty blonde hair without strands of grey mixed in, "After all, I am your mother. Now hurry off and take that mess off your face."
I nodded before slipping passed her and hurried to the bathroom, feeling weird about it, and I scrubbed it till I could see the dusting of freckles across my nose again, and evened out my growing bangs carefully.
I left the bathroom, and started getting ready back upstairs, my gut filling with butterflies as I observed my room, dark purple walls with handmade stars hanging over my bedding smiling and glittering in hopes of imitating the twinkle of a star, however in the corner of my eye, the beginning of a web was forming and I muttered quietly, "...I need to clean that when I get back."
I quickly pulled on a pink T-shirt with one of my favorite animals, a llama with white fur, complimenting the deep forest green patterned with white leaves, at the last minute I decided to wear jean shorts and leggings underneath instead of a simple blue jeans.
I went downstairs, rushing to leave, eager to get out and meet up with Jenny and Gideon, who were out of all the people that were going, were the people she found herself to be the closest to, "Pacifica?" I paused at the door, leaving my hand to hover over the door knob, "Be safe, and have fun, I love you."
"I love you too Dad," I sent a cheerful smile at him, a quick sense of guilt pulling my stomach for lying, before I successfully stomped it down.

I saw Gideon, Devon and Jenny waiting in front of the little shack that was the Gleeful Museum, "Hey Paz!" Jenny greeted with a broad grin, bolting towards me, immediately embracing me into a fierce hug, "I missed my number #2 wife~" she cooed.
"Number #2?" I said with a surprised expression, feigning hurt, "Who's Number #1?"
"Of course, the one and only~" she said dramatically and then sighed dreamily,"Mabel Pines~ Finally, I meet my soulmate."
I shook my head in exasperation, hiding my amusement. I asked with a heartbroken expression, "and what does she have that I don't?"
"Well, Brown hair, for one." She winked, "Sorry Babe, but you lost by a few shades."
"Discrimination! I don't accept that reason," I folded my arms as I cried out in feign indignation, "Give me something valid or else I revoke my love!"
She stared back at me with a serious expression, a smile gone, "Her top energy makes my pp hard."
"What—" I started incredulously.
"And you radiate major bottom energy and unless you can make me shake my knees, you are beat," she said sternly, "and I doubt it because you are a baby."
We stared at each other in a moment of silence before cracking up while Gideon is confused, whispering into Dev's ear and he shook his head in response, before staring intensely at Jenny as he walked over, "Jenny, stop corrupting Pacifica and Gideon with your perversion."
He glanced at me then turned his gaze back to Jenny in which she winked at him before his face turned pink, surprised at that, I began to wonder if he liked Jenny romantically and I felt sorry for him immediately because I already knew that she would never reciprocate his feelings, I walked towards him and smiled at him patting his shoulder, his eyes widened and his form stiffened at my touch, I removed my hands, walking away, mumbling a weak sorry as my aim to comfort failed, instead making him uncomfortable, I could feel his stare on my back and I refused to look at him in my embarrassment.
"By the way..." Jenny's voice interrupted the small tension in the air between Devon and me, "Who else are we waiting for?"
I smiled weakly as I diverted my eyes away from her, "It's...a surprise..haha..." I laughed weakly.
"I'm not sure if I liked this surprise..." she said, I could almost hear the frown in her voice as we waited.
"You should be honored to have me here as I took the time to come here with your pathetic bunch," a familiar voice said snidely, everyone but me looked up, knowing who it was already as I felt my hand being pulled.
"What are they doing here?" She hissed, her eyes furious as she quickly peeked over my shoulder to meet the dark eyes of Candy Choi and Grenda Grendinator before looking back at me.
"You know how my Dad is..." I said nervously, "He's really protective...and he just wanted to know that the people he's more well acquainted with were there to make sure we were okay..."
"Why them of all people?!" She said angrily, "They are pure evil!"
"...They aren't that bad," I defended even to my own ears weakly, "Everyone has the potential to be good people..."
She shook her head in disbelief, "I don't know what stuns me more, that you try to defend them or you got them to come here..."
"Well...it's true..everyone has the potential to be good as long as we give everyone that chance.." I stated.
"Spare me the lecture..." Jenny shook her head before her eyes glazed a bit as she asked, "Now that I brought it up, how did you even convince Candy, of all people to come, she's literally the embodiment of evil which is honestly surprising cause her name is literally Candy..."
"Oh...well.." I said stiffly as my eyes darkened.
Remember..." I whispered to myself, "Be the best Kiss Ass so she says yes."
I really didn't wanna talk to this bitch.
As I stood before Candy's intimidating House, taking a deep breath to deal with her rude attitude.
I rang the doorbell to the large estate, waiting for a few long moments , until the door was opened by a tall thin woman in a long gown that imitates the appearance of a traditional maid uniform, the lady smiled at me, her smile welcoming, it made me shiver from discomfort as it didn't match the dead fish look in her dark eyes, "Welcome, May I know what you request of the House Of Choi?" She stood to her full height, her back straight and another girl walked passed her, only to stop at the sight of me, she was only losing to the woman by a few inches in height, the familiar face of an Asian girl that looked a lot like Candy's, she raised her thin eyebrows at me and sneered in disgust at me, while looking down at me before she moved forward, knocking onto me shoulder as she walked passed me, her eyes glued to the phone in her hand, I flinched at the contact, I turned my head to frown at her back as she flipped her dark hair behind.
I didn't say anything, a frown on my lips as she just stated, "Tell Father I'll be back at 12," her attitude was flippant and uncaring to the lady and I, feeling bad for as I watched her bow her head in acknowledgment as the girl disappeared into a car on their driveway and she was gone.
The maid turned towards me, "I apologize on behalf of Ms. Angel Choi's rudeness, she isn't very fond of...most people." She said softly, and I blinked, disturbed how contradictory the names of the children of the Choi's were, wondering how they went terribly wrong in their decision, "May I know what you need, ma'am?"
I nodded and stated, "I came here to speak to Candy."
"For?"
"To ask her to accompany me to an event," I stated, and began to lie easily as she stared at me, a slight surprise expressed on her face, "We are friends, you see?"
"I never seen you before, Ms...?"
"Pacifica."
"Yes, Pacifica..." She only raised an eyebrow before walking away, "Follow me."
Hurrying behind her, we headed through the house until we stood in front of a large door, she sent a quick knock, "Ms. Choi, someone is here for you."
She walked away, leaving me by myself to face the girl, I breathe through my nose before smiling tightly as the door swung open, familiar brown eyes hidden behind thin square lens, her pin-straight dark hair and her clothes that were put together as always, the familiar private school uniform that we both would wear but hers tailored to her own preference and style, plaid green skirt inches about her knees and her white blouse pristine, lacking any sign of wrinkles even working well with her loose tie that hung around her neck, she pursed her lips, "What's your ugly mug doing around here?"
I began to reply but flinched back as she leaned to close towards me, "I don't believe we accept scholarships students around my home too," she said softly as she paced around me, her sharp eyes, despite her soft features radiated a certain air around her that immediately made me want to get as far away as possible, I looked down nervously while trying to form my words.
"What's wrong?" She whispered as she brought her sharp nails to my face, pulling my chin upwards so our gaze would meet, "Cat got your tongue?"
I swallowed thickly and forcing a smile, "I just wanted to ask if you'd like to go somewhere with my friends and—"
"You? And your friends?" She giggled, "Do you have brain damage today? Or ~ Are you a masochist and have a sick crush on me? OR...did daddy make you do it?"
"No...just thought—"
"Don't even try it Northwest, We both know you would rather swallow acids than willingly choose to go anywhere with me," she smiled, amusement playing in her eyes, "especially since you know what I know about you~"
"Don't. Bring. That. UP." I hissed, snapping at her as I straightened, any nervousness replaced with coldness.
"Of course not..." she grinned, "Wouldn't want Daddy or Mommy to know~ would we?"
"This isn't what I came for—"
"Then what is it that you want here." She said softly, deceptively sweetly, "I get sick of seeing your horrific face at school."
"It's about the Mystery Twins coming to town and—"
"I understand now, another secret to keep from daddy-o," she smiled, "but I'd have to decline, I don't want to be around you and that brat you have clinging onto you..really I would think you'd go for someone a bit...older?"
"No, don't be disgusting!" I exclaimed horrified as she turned around and began to shut the door, "and it's not just Gideon—it's Devon and Jenny too!"
She paused, "...come again?"
"Devon & Jenny...?"
"Ah...is it okay if I brought a friend too, that's my only condition for me to go..." she said suddenly, before turning around with a mocking smile, "Also, maybe wear some make-up, just the sight of your face makes me turn around and puke my lunch out.."
Surprised, I just accepted without a thought, and just stared at the now closed door, I shook my head from thinking about it and turned back the way I came, seeing the maid at the end of the stairs, she smiled at me before she escorted me out and I breathed a sigh of relief, praying that everything doesn't go too badly when she arrives with probably Grenda.
"I'm not sure...she said no at first but suddenly changed her mind when I mentioned you guys name..." I confessed as I looked back to see Candy and Grenda whispering to each other, "Did you and Devon know Candy before you met me? Did you two be friends? Why didn't you tell me?"
"No!" She said a bit too quickly and as well a bit too loudly, the curious look of a few people walking by looked at us in surprise, including our group, she immediately turned away, face flushed in embarrassment, "whatever, let's just not talk about it anymore..."
"O-oh..." I stuttered surprised, conflicted about her answer, wondering if I should push for more, then I sighed, deciding to drop it for now and I then turned to everyone with a forced grin, "Do you guys think you could gather together so I could take pictures of you all to send to my Dad?"
They got together reluctantly, and I asked a passerby to take a picture of us which he agreed to, Candy stood between Grenda and me, who was staring down as Jenny stood beside me with Devon standing behind us, Jenny grinned, Gideon standing on her side with a nervous smile on his face as the camera flashed, I look at the picture as it had captured all of looking a bit awkward and jenny had her eyes closed which the said girl huffed about, before we decided to go, "Let's Go..."

A large tent was set up with lines of people surrounding the area as the crew continued to finish up set up, the Twins sat in the back as a woman was on her knees, her eyes tearful as she begged, "Please, give me one more chance, I really need this job, please Mr. & Ms. Pines, I'm really sorry, I'll do anything...!"
"Like I said when I look into your eyes..." Dipper says softly, "All I see is the desire and lust that you have..."
She froze, and whimpered, "I promise I'm not sir..."
"Then why can I feel the sense of your body's arousal...just simply expressing my disgust towards you... cause a strange increase into your affections?" He got up and crouched down to meet her at eye level, "Are you that sick and twisted that you grovel at our feet and enjoy it? Gaining pleasure through us ..."
He paused as she shivered, he leaned closer towards her, his lips slightly grazing her ear, "Sir...you can do anything to me?"
"Anything?" He whispered as she clenched her fist, her eyes dilated as he pulled away, an eyebrow raised unfazed by her reaction, Mabel only observed from afar.
She nodded slowly in response staring up at him as he stood up, reaching his full height.
"How about you join our show tonight?" He smiled calmly, watching as disappointment built on to her face.
"Of course sir..." she whispered, "But I do mean anything and more."
He turned away and walked into his personal dressing room, Mabel following behind him, as the door closed behind them shutting out any noise from leaving, "I'm surprised you haven't vomit yet," Mabel teased, an odd smile curling at her lips, "But you're very cruel...aren't you? Sometimes I wonder which one of us is truly the evil twin~"
He only stared at his sister as childish giggles left her lips, and a quirk of amusement danced on his mouth, "I do wonder..." he said softly, "Should we leave them a performance they'll never forget?"
Her eyes for a moment sparkled in delight, "Of course!"
They could hear the ever growing audience entering, all in awe as the room was more spacious than it appeared on the out, they all had taken their seats as they entered after giving money at the door, a small fee of $5, unusually cheap for performers highly desired across the country, "You should give our...lovely assistant something to wear." He said softly.
She nodded before her back disappeared, only for her to return a moment later, her eyes glinting in glee, a knock on the door soon followed and the woman bumbled over to the twins, she was beet red as she covered her body, Mabel glance at Dipper, sending an amused smile before heading out, leaving him with the scantily clad woman.
"Isn't-th-this a bit revealing...and tight"she stuttered as she swallowed.
"I thought you were willing to do anything." He stayed with a raised eyebrow.
"I'd be willing to wear this for your eyes alone...Dipper," She said as she walked towards him, leaning forward, revealing the swell of her chest, he stepped back from her, his eyes cold, his lips thin, his eyes hadn't even moved from her face as she began to pull at her strap.
"The show is about to start."
"Couldn't...wait?" She whispered as she reached to touch him.
"No. Get Out."
She stopped and backed away, leaving immediately as she looked at his disgusted expression, biting at her nails anxious.
The moment she left, Dipper sighed and sat down with his hands in his face, "..." he swallowed as the door opened again, "She looked like she was about to cry, the old hag deserved whatever you did!" Mabel giggled but stopped at the sight of her brother's slightly shivering hands.
"...Did she touch you?" Her voice was cold as she asked.
he shook his head, "...Don't worry about it."
"Do you want me to get rid of her now or after the show?"
"...After."
"Remember...deep & steady breathes..." she said, her eyes empty as she watched her brother, directing him through a process to help him calm down, "It's okay, I'm here, Mabel is here, she's always here."
He closed his eyes, "I'll try to delay until they get everything set, Okay?" She said rubbed circles into his backs.
He nodded as he continued to steady his breathing as his sister left him again to take control.
Stan entered the room, his tall form and his smile gone as he entered the room, "I heard you weren't okay, if you want me to do anything, I'm here for you if you need me..." he said softly in a comforting tone, "Remember I will always protect you. You can trust me."
Dipper stayed silent for a moment as words flashed in his mind.
Trust No One
"...Of course." He replied, out of everyone in the world, he'd always trust his sister, no matter what any book would warn.
