A.N: So I have decided not to change the last two chapters but I will stick to this new style of writing. Somethings were edited in the last chapter but all in all nothing major. I am clarifying here that Susan is living with the Pines and she does not have a lazy eye. More on that in a later chapter. Enjoy the chapter :P

Chapter 3 - New Materials, New Life

Early mornings rays of daylight shine through the window of the strange room. All that can be heard is light snoring and light bird chirping in the distance. All of the sudden a loud piercing sound permeates the airspace … "Disco girl Coming through That girl is you OOH OOOH, OOH, OOOH".

What followed this loud outburst was light groaning coming from two different sources and movement coming from one of those sources in an attempt to stop the disturbing noise. Eventually the source is able to reach the origin of the noise and shut it down.

"Dipper, " a slightly disheveled voice called out "why is that your alarm sound? I have heard that catchy crap too much in my life already."

The response from an equally disheveled voice was "I know you hate it therefore I know you will get up in the mornings when you hear it. If only to scorn me " In a slightly more awake voice he continued "and keep the cursing to a minimum we have only just arrived to Stan's home. He is not ready for our potty mouths yet ". If Mabel could see her brother's face she would see a small smirk crawl into his face.

"Haha, funny dipstick" she said while sporting a grin herself.

It took a good second before they remembered where they were. They took notice of their surroundings and deflated a little when they remembered why they are there. Mabel started to tear up a bit. Dipper decided to head on over and hug her as she let out a subdued sob. "I can't believe they are gone." she managed to say.

"I know" Dipper said as he gave her his shoulder to cry on. Dipper did not exactly know what to do in this situation so he just caressed her head and told her it would all be fine. A few minutes later, Mabel had calmed down and Dipper decided to break the silence. "Well we should probably get ready for the shopping we will do today. We have lots of things to purchase."

Mabel nods and their morning rituals commence. After they are all dressed and ready to tackle the day, they head downstairs. What they find is Stan making his famous Stan Cakes with a side of bacon. Susan is nowhere to be found however. They point this out to Stan and he replies that she will be down soon. At that moment Susan came down and proclaimed that she had to go to work early today since someone called in sick. They all shared a quick breakfast and Susan went off to work her now double shift.

"Kids we will be going to town in a bit to pick up some school supplies since tomorrow I need you both to help around the shop. Tourists usually start piling up around this time and I need to prepare for their eventual arrival"

Dipper and Mabel both go back upstairs; Dipper for his hat and vest, Mabel for checking if she needed any more sewing/knitting supplies.

"Stan we are ready" Mabel yells.

'So she does speak for herself' Stan starts thinking to himself 'guess that means she is recovering'. "Meet you at the car it should be open" he screams back.

Dipper leads the way to the car with Mabel following close behind. When they enter the car Dipper starts feeling like he is being watched "Mabel do you feel like you are being watched right now?". She looks around but doesn't seem to see anything "Nah bro-bro no one should be here considering we are in the forest probably some birds". Dipper mimicking his sister's actions could've sworn he saw some bushes shake in the distance but he thought his sister was correct in her judgement.

The bushes

"We should tell Jeff about the new resident. She may be what we have been looking for." a figure says.

"We have been without a queen for a while now eventually he will lose power if he cannot bring a new queen soon." a second figure says.

"Yea many of us lose control without one after a while" the first one replies. The Pines vehicle starts moving and passes by the bushes on its way to town. "Let's go and see how he wants to proceed." the first figure replies.

Back with the Pines

"Okay kids like I said all we really have to do today is purchase school stuff is there anything else you two might be needing?"

"I am running low on some sewing and knitting supplies. I could use a refill on that."

"I was thinking of picking up a book if you would allow it"

"I can provide that to both of you easily. I was thinking if you two wanted to pick up some posters and stuff for the room"

Dipper and Mabel look at each other real quick and exchange looks. Dipper seems to mouth the words 'maybe later'. Mabel does the same but mouths 'after renovators'. Dipper nods and says "Mabel and I were thinking about decorating after the room has been renovated and we know what we are dealing with."

"Not a bad idea but I say look around anyway to see if you guys find anything of interest so that our shopping trip is shorter next time."

"Will do" they reply.

They pull up to the Gravity Falls Mall. After looking around a bit Mabel found a few posters she might be interested in while Dipper found a nice size wall board he might want for when he starts school next year. When they reach the Staples located near the leftmost side of the mall they purchase their needed school supplies for both the month of school and the next year since there was a great sale at the time.

Stan left them to their devices in the store while he went to the bathroom. During this time the twins turned a corner and bumped into a fast walking person. Both parties fell. Across from the twins they see a girl around their age wearing a brown over coat. She had dirty blonde hair and was wearing a pair of sunglasses that fell during the bump.

"Sorry about that, we didn't see you" Dipper starts

"It's fine" she quickly grabbed the glasses and put them back on. "You two new to this town?" she asked.

"Yea just moved in last night"

"Can you do me a favor? See those guys" she subtly points to two guys wearing suits that were questioning a cashier. "If they ask for a girl named Pacifica tell them you saw here go into the clothes shop across the mall. Thank you in advance" the mysterious girl then quickly left the shop.

"Well that was strange. Do you think we should do as she said?" Dipper asked Mabel.

"I have a good feeling about her. I say if they do ask we tell as she said" she replied.

They pick up a bit more supplies and as they are about to sit and wait for Stan in order to check out the two men in suits came over and asked if they had seen Pacifica Northwest. Dipper asked if she was a blonde girl about their age. The men replied with nods.

"We say her entering the clothing shop on the other end of the mall" Mabel replied.

"Which one?"

"We just moved here we haven't memorized the names yet but they seemed to carry fancy clothes." Dipper replied.

"Thank you" was one of the men's reply. With that they ran out of the store and conveniently that was when Stan came back and they bought their merchandise. After browsing one of the clothing stores near the food court they ate a small meal in a burger joint.

After a long day of shopping the Pines family decided to go back home with a bunch of new school supplies and some clothes. As they returned home it was getting dark. Stan reminded them to sleep early today since tomorrow would be working nearly all day on setting up the shop for the influx of tourists they would be getting in the next coming weeks.

"Sorry about the timing but business is business and I can't afford to let all of it go to waste now that I have to provide for you two" he said in a serious manner.

"We understand, the world will keep on spinning no matter what happens we just need to move on" Mabel said with a hint of sadness. Dipper can tell she was thinking about their parents so he grabbed her hand and squeezed it a little. Mabel looked at Dipper to see him give a small smile and nod. She felt more relieved with him there and gave him back a little smile of her own.

As they arrived so did Susan. They bid both their guardians goodnight and with a cup of milk in each of their hands and some cereal they went up to their room.

"What do you think Stan will make us do Dip?"

"Probably some inventory and moving things around."

"You excited for school?"

"I would not use the word excited but yes. Hopefully I get to enjoy my classes here as much as back at Piedmont. What about you?"

"A chance to meet new people of course I am excited. At the same time I just don't know how to feel about not coming home to mom and dad" Mabel replied with a frown.

"It will be hard the first few weeks but eventually we will have to move on. At least we still have each other so we are not completely alone." Dipper said with a slight half smile.

After a few moments filled with only the sounds of both of them gulping down their milk and cereal. They bid each other goodnight and they slept.

Dipper was extremely happy. They had just surprised him with the movie he had wanted to watch. He was expecting a simple walk home but he knew something was wrong but he couldn't place it. As they walked down the street he heard a yell and he was pushed aside rather abruptly. He landed facing the opposite direction to that of his destination direction. Before he could complain he turned and saw the results.

The street was covered in red. He was alone and can only see a car covered in splashed of red crashed into a random shop. He walked towards it. Every inch he was fighting with his body to just get away but he was losing this fight.

As he unwillingly entered the store he was able to spot the corpse of his father and mother. They looked mangled but parts of the body were missing such as the head of his father. He could feel the tears falling from his eyes but was not allowed to scream.

He continued to move through the scene and looked towards the car. All he sees is the body of the driver impaled at the wheel with bloody tears continuously flowing from his eyes. He could hear the voice of the driver apologizing for his actions.

He kept walking further into the store.

He found his father's head. It made it self comfortable next to the canned meat. As he got to the end of the canned food aisle he dreaded what he would find. He turned the corner and saw another corpse.

This corpse was different from his parents in a number of ways. First and foremost was the size of it. It was only a fraction of the size of his parents. It also showed some form of emotion unlike his parents. Both of his parents had deadpanned faces but this face he was looking at was stuck with a terrified countenance.

As he got closer the body started to move and speak. "You did this to me"

When he was right in front of the body its face changed from a terrified look to one of anger. It snapped off the wall and grabbed Dipper. "YOU DID THIS TO ME" it repeated these words a few more times but slightly changing in tone until its tone changed to a more sorrowful one. The body looked down and dipper could not see the face any longer. "Why did you do this? " It looked up. "I thought we were family Bro-bro". Dipper could see the face of his sister crying in tears of blood.

Dipper woke up with a jump and in cold sweat. He could see his sister standing over him with a few tears and concerned eyes. "Dipper you were having a dream. A pretty bad one from the look of it."

"Sorry Mabel did I wake you?"

"No I also had a dream." She grew quiet for a second before asking. "Is it okay if I sleep with you tonight. I think we both need it."

Dipper saw the tear stains on Mabel's face and could only see the image from his dream. Without hesitation he replied with a resounding yes. He made room for her and she laid down facing away from him. He wrapped his arms around her and after a few minutes he heard her taking short breaths and knew she fell back asleep.

"I won't anything happen to you" he whispered as he to fell asleep.

There were no more dreams that night.

A.N: There you go. Our fist glance at Pacifica. Whenever the next chapter happens it will be about the discovery of the Journal. Then it will be their first day in school. Review with thoughts on the new style. Do you prefer it? I honestly do and it felt like I wrote it faster. I have had many difficulties in my real life including family hospitalization so I had not been able to write much.
