Chapter 8

The two Pines siblings just stood there, their eyes darting between one another as they tried to comprehend the words. She wanted both of them? Together? Was that even allowed?

"Wait, so all of this, the sleepover, everything, was just so you could get the three of us alone, so you could tell us how you feel?" Mabel said, trying to understand how everything she thought she knew had changed over the last two minutes.

"Yes. I wanted to tell you for so long," Pacifica admitted. "I just didn't know how."

"If you felt this way, then why did you ignore us all year?" asked Dipper. "You didn't call. You didn't e-mail. It was like you wanted nothing to do with us."

"No, it wasn't like that at all! I was . . . I was too nervous to talk to you guys," Pacifica confessed. "I was afraid that, if I tried to keep in-touch with you over the year, I would end up blurting out my secret before . . . " she sighed, ". . . before I was ready. I didn't know how you would take it. I was too afraid you would reject me."

Mabel knew how Pacifica felt, because she had felt the same about her. It was her fear of rejection which kept her from confessing her own feelings last summer, fear of looking like some kind of freak in the eyes of the woman she loved. She was too afraid of losing her friendship with Pacifica to say those three simple words she had been dying to say all this time, a friendship she might have lost tonight if not for Pacifica's bravery.

"What about the drinks?" Dipper started, staring back at his glass of soda, "Why were you so insistent on getting us to drink that stuff?"

Pacifica paused, looked down at her feet, and sighed. She knew they would be angry, but if she wanted to regain their trust, she had to come clean.

"Vodka." She mumbled.

"Excuse me?"

"I put a little vodka from my dad's liquor cabinet into each of your drinks." Pacifica admitted, "I didn't know how you would take the news. I thought, if you were a little more . . . relaxed, It would be easier for me to tell you."

"Pacifica!" Mabel shouted, "How could you? Spiking someone's drink; don't you know how reckless that is?"

"I know. It was stupid, and . . . and just horrible of me to try it." Pacifica cried out, "I was so scared, and I didn't know what else to do. I am so sorry. I just hope you can forgive me."

The twins looked at Pacifica, then each other. Calmly, the two nodded in silent agreement.

"Alright Pacifica, as long as you're sorry, and you know to NEVER try something like that again, then I think we can forgive you." Dipper said.

"Really?" Pacifica asked.

"Really." said Mabel, bringing the three of them in for a group hug.

"Thank you." Pacifica said, glassy-eyed. Happy that her friends weren't too upset with her.

"Now, about the other thing." Dipper said, trying to nudge the conversation back to the topic at hand. "What are we going to do about . . . this?"

Pacifica heart pounded in her chest. She suddenly realized that, even though she had lovingly confessed her feelings for the Pines siblings, neither one had said 'I love you' back. It was still possible that neither sibling actually had feelings for her, or, even worse, both of them wanted her and were unwilling to share. She had spent the whole time worried about being rejected, it never even occurred to her that the two might actually fight over her.

"Well, I don't know about you Dipper," Mabel said before grabbing Pacifica by the waist, "but I'm completely, head-over-heels in love with you, Pacifica." The young woman confessed before pulling Pacifica in for a kiss.

Pacifica's brain began doing cartwheels as Mabel pressed her lips to hers. A feeling of euphoria greater than anything she had ever felt rushed over her as Mabel's tongue crept past her lips and into her eager mouth. Pacifica's eyes rolled back in ecstasy as the two girls explored one another. Finally, Mabel pulled away just enough to break the kiss, taking about half of Pacifica's brain cells along with her.

Before Pacifica could even react, she found herself being spun around. Dipper pulled Pacifica in tightly, and without warning, kissed the young heiress hard on the lips.

"I love you Pacifica." Dipper said between breaths. "I love you so much. I've always loved you."

Dipper became more intense, more passionate. He could not keep his hands off of her body, exploring every inch he could reach. Shivers ran down Pacifica's spine as Dipper traced his fingers across her back. Her body tensed as he explored her waist, her hips, and further still.

Pacifica was in heaven. There was no other word for it! She had wanted nothing more than to have the Pines siblings want her, and now they did. If there were any brain cells left in Pacifica's head, they were gone by the time Dipper had finished man-handling her. She stood there, dazed, confused, but thoroughly content. Still, one creeping fear kept gnawing away at the Northwest girl.

"How is this going to work?"

The two siblings looked at one another, each cracking a smile before turning back towards the heiress.

"Well, we are twins." Mabel started, "We're used to sharing things."

"Sharing a room, sharing our toys," Dipper explained, "I wouldn't be against sharing a girlfriend."

"Exactly!" Mabel exclaimed as she wrapped her arms around Pacifica's quivering body, "So, how about it, sweetie? Think you can handle a double-dose of Pines?"

Pacifica was ecstatic. Her mind suddenly began racing with new-found possibility. Everything she hoped would happen was coming true. If this was all a dream, she never wanted to wake up!

"Absolutely!" Pacifica shouted, "When do we start?"

"Hmm . . . Good question!" said Mabel. With that, the bubbly young girl pushed her friend onto the bed and began to pull her top off.

"How about right now?"
