Before you get to reading, I want to talk to you guys. I know the story is half or more then halfway over :( but don't worry I have plans to make a sequel :) So I want to get a beta reader. I know I make errors in my stories and I want an extra eye. If you are one and if you're intrested then PM me. Also, I want to submit my story to the Dipperxpacifica archive but sadly I don't know how. If you know how, PM me about that. On another unrelated note, I worked so hard on this one, and you guys will be happy to see that it is 1,000 words long! That is a record I am happy to break, but I couldn't do it without your guy's reviews that kept pushing me to make myself better. Thank you, you may now commence your reading.

The next 24 hours were terrible for Dipper. Not being able to move or do anything while his loved ones were in danger was torture to him. Grunkle Stan tried to keep him company, but it was nothing like the company of Pacifica, which he longed for. But finally the next day the doctor let him leave, and he headed straight to the mystery shack with his parents and Stan. When they got there, cops were still trying to scrounge up clues. Dipper walked up to Blubs and Derland

"Have you found anything?" Dipper asked

"No, and we've been looking all day" Derland said in disappointment

"It would be really nice to have a fancy computer phone to help us" Blubs pointed out

Dipper walked around looking for clues. He checked in the shack, outside, and in the backyard, but nothing caught his mind. He decided to go back to the scene of he crime, thats where he realized that he forgot to check in the shrubbery. He checked every shrub, where he found a purple piece of paper sticking out at the bottom of one of them. He pulled it and saw an address

"Guys!" He screamed "I found a clue!" Everyone rushed over to him.

"That address looks like it's all the way in Denver!" Blubs informed

"How long would it take us to get there?" Mr. Pines asked

"If take get to the airport we would be there at nightfall."

"Then let's go" Dipper said eagerly

"Son, there is no way I'm letting you come, you have already been in danger and it has gotten you a concussion. I care about your safety and I can't let you come if we are dealing with someone with a gun"

"I got us this far, I'm going and you can't stop me!"

Dipper's father didn't want to argue with Dipper anymore, so he nodded his head and let him go with them. They all drove to the airport, which took a while since it was all the way on the other side of town. Mr. Pines hasn't seen Dipper for three months, so he tried to get some conversation in.

"So Dipper how was your summer?" Mr. Pines asked

"It was great, but it's a bummer that we have to leave."

"Im sure Stan will let you stay next summer."

"You wouldn't believe the stuff I've encountered here. This place is amazing."

"Yeah I would know, I came here to visit your Grunkle when I was a kid."

"Really?" Dipper said in amazement

"Yeah that's one of the reasons I sent you here, because my summer here was the best summer that I've ever had"

"I bet you've never seen one of these" Dipper pulled out journal 3

"What is that?" His dad asked. Dipper then proceeded to tell him about everything that had happened to him and Mabel this summer, and his dad was amazed by all the stuff they had done, and it reminded him of his childhood.

They arrived at the airport, payed for their tickets and hopped on the airplane. The whole ride there Dipper was worrying about them.

"I'm sure they are fine Dipper trust me we will get this sorted out, and so you can get more smootches" Stan said with a grin

"How did you know?"

"Mabel told me everything, she was freaking out"

"That doesn't surprise me"

MEANWHILE

"What do you need me for?" Pacifica asked while tied up to a chair next to Mabel

"Might as well tell them" Andrew said

"Go on ahead" the man said

"What we are doing with you is we will keep you hostage while he calls your parents. They will be worried sick, and they will pay any amount of money for you. You always flaunt your money in front of the whole town, so we figured you would be the perfect person to do our plan for." Andrew looked at his watch. "Would you look at the time, I'm going to bed"

"So am I" the man said, walking into another room with a bed init. Andrew made a bed in the same room as them in case they try anything funny.

"Mabel I'm so sorry that I got you into this mess and being so mean to you this whole summer. I really like your brother and I don't want you to think that I'm pulling some sick trick on you guys. I'm just really scared" Pacifica finished and started crying

"Pacifica if I could hug you I would, and I forgive you."

"You are so nice. Thank you" Pacifica thanked

"Don't mention it. Well we might as well go to sleep, I'm not staying up all night." They tried getting in the most comfortable spot they could in their chairs until they finally gave up.

"Goodnight Pacifica"

"Goodnight Mabel"

SECONDS AGO

"Dipper and Stan stay out here in case they try to escape. Blubs, Derland and I will go inside. You guys ready?" Mr. Pines asked

"I am" Dipper answered
