Dipper yawns and gets out of bed. Today is the big day. The day we take Preston Northwest to court. Wendy, Soos, Mabel, and Grunkle Stan are all coming to support Dipper and Pacifica. Dipper is very nervous. If he doesn't win the case, Preston will probably find a way to throw him in jail. Dipper gets ready and gets in Stan's dilapidated old red car.

"You nervous, kid?" asks Stan. How reassuring. Dipper nods his head yes.

"You'll do great. You got some much evidence on that idiot he will be thrown in the slammer for sure."

"Thanks Grunkle Stan."

"Don't mention it, kid." They pull into the Gravity Falls courthouse. Almost the whole town showed up. It's the biggest news in town since the mayor's death. They walk into the court room. First thing is Pacifica talking about how her dad treats her. SHe talks bout the not letting her leave her room and how her own home feels like a prison. Preston Northwest gets a little misty-eyed. Pacifica then talks about the bell, and how she is forced to be silent. Preston looks down, ashamed to hold his head up. Finally, she talks about the disowning she overheard her parents talking about. Finally Preston stands up.

"Put me in jail, officers. She speaks the truth. I am an awful father. I am sorry Pacifica. I have failed you. Put her in the custody of Stanford Pines." says Preston. The crowd gasps. He did have a little good left in his stone cold heart of hatred, after all. Pacifica doesn't know whether to smile or cry when her dad is taken away to jail. Dipper gives her a big hug and cups her face in his hands.

"I know that was hard for you, Pacifica, but it was for the best. You are free now, Pacifica. No chains are holding you back. You're free." Dipper whispers.

"Alright kids, get in the car." everyone squeezes into the car. Pacifica finally felt loved, smushed between Dipper and Mabel, in a rusty old car falling apart at the seams. They pull into the Shack.

"Welcome home, Pacifica. Welcome home." says Grunkle Stan,
