AN: Alright people let's get one thing clear… I love you all! Hahahaha. Thank you for the great reviews and I promise to get to Returned Feelings. It's just that this story is really fun to write about and after this chapter I will definitely write a new chapter for Returned Feelings. Also (me being super slow with Gravity Falls detail) I discovered that Pacifica's mother's name is Priscilla not Sasha. So I'm going to use Priscilla as her name in this story and let me know if you want me to change it in Returned Feelings. Thank you…Enjoy.
Chapter 3
Dead don't lie but the living question…
Dipper and Pacifica saw the corpse in front of them and both of them were shocked and afraid. The body was a teenaged girl but it looked to be decomposed for at least a 4 or 5 months. This is the first time either of them seen a dead body before…
"D-Dipper… Wh-What should we do?" Pacifica nervously asked.
"We…We should go." Dipper said as he yanked Pacifica away and started walking fast.
"Dipper! We need to tell the police!" Pacifica stressed.
"I agree but right now your safety is what's important. I'll call the police when I get you home…" Dipper said as he continued walking with Pacifica in tow.
Even though Pacifica was scared out of her mind, she liked the fact that Dipper cared about her safety. Not even her friends or family cared about her, if they did then she would be driven home right now instead of walking home. It was strange to Pacifica but for the first time she actually felt…safe.
15 minutes later…
Dipper and Pacifica finally got to the front gate of the Northwest manor and Pacifica pressed the side button next to the gate.
"Yes?" The head butler answered through the intercome.
"It's me James." Pacifica said and the gate opened up…
"…Can… Can you come in with me?" Pacifica asked with a small blush as she turned her gaze away from Dipper.
"Oh…Um. Sure." Dipper said as he followed Pacifica but she then took his hand once again.
Dipper was about to ask why but Pacifica stopped him by saying just go with it…
When Dipper and Pacifica got inside, they were greeted by Priscilla and Preston Northwest…
"Pacifica. It good to see you made it home alright and…who is this young man?..." Preston asked suspiciously.
"Oh. I'm Dipper Pines sir." Dipper said as he extended his hand for a handshake but was denied.
"He walked me home Daddy." Pacifica chimed in.
"Very well. Now that your task is done. I believe it's time you left young man." Preston said coldly.
"Actually Daddy. Dipper needs to use our telephone for something important." Pacifica said.
"Very well dear. Show him to the phone in the kitchen and show him out once he is done with his call. We will be in the living room." Preston said as he inhaled his pipe and walked away with his wife Priscilla.
Dipper was shown to the phone and he immediately called the police about the body they found earlier and told the police that he would be at the station to give his statement. Once Dipper was done with his call Pacifica showed him to the door…
"I'm sorry about my father and mother. They really don't associate much with commoners and they don't like me doing so either but…" Pacifica said.
"It's alright Pacifica, I understand." Dipper said.
"Thank you for walking me home and…" Pacifica said as she bit her lower lip as she was hesitating to ask her question.
"Yes?" Dipper asked.
"Would you…continue walking me home?" Pacifica asked now blushing a little.
"Oh…Sure if that's what you want…" Dipper said.
"Good. I-I mean go, you should go." Pacifica said.
"Alright. I'll see you tomorrow." Dipper said with a smile and a wave as he walked away.
"Bye." Pacifica said but she didn't want to close the door as she watched Dipper walk away...
"Why…Why him?" Pacifica asked as her heart was racing…
Later on at the police station…
The police recovered the body that Dipper explained where it was and the FBI had Dipper in the interrogation room…
"Good evening Mr. Pines…" The FBI agent said as he sat down in front of Dipper with a file of the deceased and a file on him.
"We have some questions to ask you. Please be totally honest with us and be as clear as possible." The agent said and Dipper nodded in agreement.
"Have you seen this body before?" The agent asked.
"No." Dipper answered.
"Do you know the deceased?" The agent asked.
"Not really." Dipper said.
"Do you know if she was in your class?" The agent asked.
"I-I don't know." Dipper said now getting a little intimidated.
"How long have you been in that specific class?" The agent asked.
"This was my s-second day with my sister." Dipper nervously responded.
"Who are you staying with?" The agent asked.
"M-My great uncle. He took us in once our mother gave up custody to him." Dipper answered as the agent was flipping through some of his paperwork.
"Very well. We have one final question for you and then you may leave…" The agent said as he laid down the paperwork and looked at Dipper sternly which was only making him even more nervous…
"Do you know anything about what happened in this town 5 years ago?" The agent asked.
"N-no I don't. My sister and I just moved her last week." Dipper explained.
"Hmm… Alright then. You are free to leave." The agent said as he walked up and open the door for Dipper.
As Dipper walked away, the agent was watching him from the window as his partner walked up to him.
"Make Mr. Dipper Pines a possible suspect… I want to watch him and his family and see if they are connected to this case." The agent said and the other nodded…
Later on at the Mystery shack…
Dipper came into the front door and was greeted by Soos…
"Sup dude." Soos said as he stopped sweeping.
"Nothing much Soos. Just got back from a long day." Dipper said stressfully.
"Don't sweat it dude. I know how you feel." Soos said as he walked away and Dipper walked into the living room.
"Hey kid. How was your date?" Stan asked.
"Well…I had to talk with the FBI at the police station. Pacifica and I found a body and I called them right away." Dipper explained.
"O-Oh. Did you?" Stan said little nervously.
"Yeah. They asked me all sorts of questions but the most serious one he asked me was something about 5 years ago." Dipper said.
"D-Don't worry kid. He was probably just trying to scare you." Stan said as he gripped his chair tightly.
"Well I'm gonna head to bed now." Dipper said as he walked away.
"Y-Yeah. That sounds good." Stan said as he panicked a little about the situation…
As Dipper walked up to the addict he was grabbed by Mabel and her friends and thrown into a chair as his second interrogation began.
"Alright Dipper! SPILL IT!" Mabel shouted as she held a flashlight in Dipper's face which was blinding him.
"Mabel! Quit it." Dipper said as he tried to get up but Candy and Grenda held him to the chair.
"We want details Dipper! What happened between you and Pacifica today?" Mabel questioned.
"Nothing alright?! I just walked her home and that was the end of it." Dipper somewhat lied because he didn't want to talk about the body or the FBI with Mabel.
"You're hiding something! You spent all this time just walking her home? Either you two were extremely slow walkers or you are lying about something!" Mabel said as she poked the flashlight in Dipper's face once again.
"Mabel! STOP!" Dipper said as he turned away from the bright light.
"Tell us the truth Dipper and we will let you go." Mabel demanded.
"FINE! Pacifica and I found a dead body alright!? I had to talk with the feds and that's why it took me so long to get home!" Dipper said in aggravation.
Mabel and her friends backed away from Dipper in complete shock as they looked at Dipper.
"I'm so sorry Dipper… We didn't know." Mabel said as she felt bad about what she did.
"We should go…" Candy said softly as she and Grenda made a slow exit.
Dipper just got up from the chair and angrily laid in his bed facing the walk away from Mabel who was now in tears for interrogating Dipper into saying something he wasn't comfortable with saying.
"I'm really sorry Dipper. We just wanted to know about you and Pacifica… I didn't mean to upset you." Mabel said.
"Sigh… It's alright Mabel. Let's just go to bed alright. It's been a long day." Dipper said.
"Alright… Good night bro bro." Mabel said as she went to her bed and slept.
Dipper wanted to keep Mabel away from this stuff because he cared about her since she was his sister but now she knows what happened. In the back of Dipper's mind he imagined Mabel being that body and he didn't want that to happen…
The next morning…
Gossip was spreading around the whole school as Dipper and Mabel's class was deemed the curse class of Gravity Falls High. Dipper hated the looks people were giving him and his sister as they walked to their class. Everyone was coming up with suspicions about the students and teacher being cursed as well and everyone should stay away from them.
When Dipper and Mabel entered class they noticed the empty desks of the four victims who have gone missing. Dipper wondered if that dead girl Pacifica and him saw yesterday was one of the missing girls but he wasn't sure…
Suddenly Gideon walked up to Dipper once he and Mabel sat in their seats and Mabel started talking with her friends…
"SO Dipper… Did you introduce myself to your sister yet?" Gideon asked.
"No and I don't think I will." Dipper said simply as he ignored Gideon and continued reading in his book.
"Excuse me? Do you know who I am boy!?" Gideon said.
"A guy who is too afraid to introduce himself to a girl. Yes I do actually." Dipper said simply.
Suddenly Gideon slapped his book away from Dipper violently and the whole class saw this.
"I AM GIDEON GLEEFUL BOY! I WILL END YOU IF I HAVE TO!" Gideon screamed but Dipper did nothing as he just stared at him like he meant nothing which most of the girls thought it was hot how cool and collective Dipper was.
"Gideon why don't you sit down and act your age instead of acting like a whinny little boy." Pacifica said.
"Whinny little boy!?" Gideon said angrily.
"Yes. You are being childish by throwing this little temper tantrum. Be a real man and quit while you're behind. No one likes a guy who can't keep his cool." Pacifica said sternly and Gideon just angrily walked out of class as he planned on skipping today's class…
Pacifica walked up and picked up Dipper's book and gave it back to him…
"I'm sorry for him doing that to you Dipper. Are you alright?" Pacifica asked.
"Yeah… I'm fine." Dipper said as he accepted his book back from Pacifica.
"Bro bro… What was he talking about?" Mabel asked.
"I'll tell you at home." Dipper said.
Suddenly Mrs. Crow came in and started class…
Dipper knew Gideon was a psycho but Dipper was starting to ponder if Gideon was the one who was making these girls go missing…
TO BE CONTINUED…
AN: Hmmm… Dipper does have a valid point. Gideon is a bit unstable but is he really the one who has been kidnapping and (possibly) killing these girls? And what is Stan hiding? Find out more next time…BYE.
