Eustace Befufftlefumpter Memorial Hospital

Gravity Falls, Oregon

October 4th, 2017

9:00 pm

Dipper, Mabel and Pricilla NorthWest were in the Waiting Room as Doctors were working on Pacifica in Emergency Care. Dipper was hunched over, had his head in his hands and was nervously tapping his foot, his shirt and shorts still covered in Pacifica's blood. Mabel was doing her best to comfort her Brother, placing one hand on his back and rubbing soothing circles on it while her other hand rested comfortingly on his thigh. Pricilla was a whole 'nother story, she was just sitting there in shock, mascara tears on her cheeks from when she cried after initially hearing the news that her Daughter was shot and that Preston was the shooter. Preston was currently in captivity at the Gravity Falls Police Station for Assault, 2 counts of Attempted Murder, Possession Of A Deadly Weapon, and depending on how things went with Pacifica potentially Murder. Just then the trio heard footsteps from nearby and Wendy, now wearing a Tanktop, Jeans and Boots walked over. She looked at Dipper and frowned with concern before sitting on the opposite side of Mabel and wrapped her arms around Dipper's head, bringing it to rest on her shoulder. Dipper didn't even look up but he knew who it was by her pale skin and wrapped his arms around her waist as Wendy attempted to comfort him. Wendy ran her fingers though Dipper's hair with one hand while the other rubbed his back up and down, soothingly. Wendy looked at Mabel while trying to comfort Dipper.

"I heard about what happened, how's Pacifica?"

Mabel sighed and shook her head.

"It doesn't look good, she was shot in the stomach and lost alot of blood."

After about 5 more minutes the doors to Emergency Care swung open and a tall man wearing scrubs covered in blood walked through. He removed his Surgical Mask before speaking.

"Are you Pacifica NorthWest's family?"

Dipper let go of Wendy before standing up, Mabel and Pricilla did as well.

"I'm her Mother, he's her Boyfriend and she's her Friend. How is she Doctor?"

After a moment of silence the Doctor smiled.

"She's going to make it, the blood loss was severe but we were able to remove the bullet and close the wound in time. She's stable and is breathing on her own."

Dipper, Mabel and Pricilla all sighed in relief, but then the Doctor's smile suddenly faded.

"But..."

Dipper looked at the Doctor in confusion, worry flaring in his stomach once again.

"But?..."

The Doctor pulled out two X-Rays, it was of Pacifica's spine, one had the bullet in it and the other didn't.

"The bullet pierced her spine, between the Lumbar and the Thoracic Regions. While she will live...I'm afraid she may never walk again."

Pricilla started crying again, while Dipper just stood there in shock tears welling up in his eyes. He looked down as he clenched his fists tightly.

"This...this is all my fault."

Mabel looked at her Brother in shock.

"Don't say that Dipper! Preston was the one who shot her, not you!"

Dipper shook his head.

"But that bullet was meant for me Mabel, I should be the one on that Bed right now."

Mabel then did something Dipper never thought she'd do, she slapped him. Dipper stood there in shock, holding his cheek which was also the same cheek that Preston punched earlier so it made it even more painful. What shocked him even more was the fact Mabel was crying, crying harder than she was when Pacifica was shot.

"Jason Alex Pines! Don't you EVER say something like that again you hear me?!"

Hearing Mabel call him by his Birth Name was a shock to Dipper's system, more so than the slap. Mabel got closer to Dipper and he flinched, expecting her to slap him again but instead she hugged him as tightly as she could burying her face into his chest as she sobbed.

"When I saw Preston pull that gun out I thought I was about to lose you! I was so scared! If Pacifica hadn't done it I would have!"

Dipper got over the shock and wrapped his arms back around her equally tight.

"I'm sorry I scared you Mabel."

Mabel shook her head and pulled back to look in his eyes, a small smile appearing on her face.

"Don't apologize, I'm just glad you're alive Dipper."

The Doctor cleared his throat to get their attention and Dipper and Mabel separated.

"You may see her if you want, she should be waking shortly."

Pricilla immediately rushed into the room and Mabel looked at Dipper.

"You go see her, me and Wendy will wait here for you."

Dipper nodded and followed Pricilla into the room. Mabel then walked back over to Wendy and sat down next to her. After a few moments of awkward silence Mabel spoke.

"Hey Wendy...I'm sorry about what happened at the Mystery Shack earlier today, it wasn't my business to get involved in what was happening between you and Dipper."

Wendy shook her head and smiled at Mabel.

"Dude don't worry about it, you were only looking out for him. Besides...you were right."

Mabel looked at Wendy with confusion.

"I was?"

Wendy nodded.

"I do love him...I've loved him for some time now. Ever since you two first came to Gravity Falls I've admired just how strong and how close you two are and after all the times Dipper saved me and showed how much he loved me...I fell in love right back. I tried not to, my mind kept telling me that it was wrong to love someone younger than you, but I couldn't help it. I tried pushing him away, you remember the whole ordeal with the Shape Shifter..."

Mabel nodded.

"...that was just me trying to get Dipper to fall out of love with me because I was too old for him at the time. But, it's like you said: Time eliminates barriers of age."

Wendy then sighed.

"It's just too bad I'm telling you all this as he is currently seeing his Girlfriend."

Inside the Emergency Care room Pacifica was awake hooked up to a few of machines including the Heart Monitor, a Ventilator which wasn't currently in use because as the Doctor said she was able to breathe on her own, an IV bag and a bag pumping blood into her system. Dipper was sitting on a chair next to her bedside and Pricilla was on the opposite side, crying again though this time those tears were of relief. Dipper placed his hand on Pacifica's and gently gripped it, a look of shame in his eyes.

"I'm so sorry Pacifica..."

Pacifica smiled at him and gave his hand a little squeeze.

"I'm not."

Dipper looked at her in confusion.

"How can you not be? The Doctor said you may never walk again and it's all because I got careless around your Father!"

Pacifica shook her head, her smile never wavering.

"It's not your fault, you didn't know he was armed and besides...I'd do it again in a heartbeat if I could."

Dipper started to cry again, frantically wiping at his eyes with his other hand.

"Dipper..."

Dipper's attention was brought back to Pacifica.

"You do love her...don't you?"

Dipper opened his mouth to protest but Pacifica made a "Hush" motion with her other hand.

"Don't deny it, it's written all over your face whenever she's near you."

Dipper decided she would get mad if he was dishonest with her so he simply nodded. Surprisingly, Pacifica didn't seem upset her smile was still there.

"Don't feel bad, I understand. I understood from the moment we got together that I was second best to her in your heart, and it's ok."

Dipper again opened his mouth to protest but again Pacifica silently asked for him to keep quiet.

"I'll always love you Dipper Pines...but I'm letting you go. It's for the best, better we separated now than say 10, 20 years down the line."

Dipper said nothing, no words were needed as he looked at her with sadness in his eyes. Pacifica removed her hand from Dipper's and placed it on his cheek.

"Hey it's going to be ok, I promise. We may no longer be together but that doesn't mean we won't still be close, I'll always be your friend no matter what."

Dipper placed his hand over hers and gently gripped it, closing his eyes.

"Promise me."

Dipper's eyes snapped back open.

"Huh?"

Pacifica's smile turned into a stern look to show how serious she was being.

"Promise me that you'll be happy with her. I don't want to hear about you two breaking up because you feel guilt because of me."

Dipper took a deep breath and let it out in a long sigh, he then looked Pacifica in her bright blue eyes.

"I promise Pacifica."

Pacifica's smile returned.

"Good...now go get her you bad boy."

Dipper reluctantly let her hand go and turned around, leaving the Room leaving Pacifica alone with her Mother.
