No One's PoV
The lights in the tent abruptly close, 2 faint blue orbs on stage can be seen. Oohs and aahs break the silence.
A spotlight shines on a girl wearing all blue, her brown hair dimly glows in the midst of the crowd, wearing a plastic smile only a select few could see through.
Pacifica's eyes wander the tent, hoping to spot a certain brunette.
Mabel sees this, but takes no heed of it. "Welcome to the Tent of Telepathy..." Mabel declares, her voice immediately catches the attention of all, including Pacifica.
"My name is Mabel Gleeful, and in the shadows is my dear brother, Dipper Gleeful."
The blue orb in the back suddenly glows brighter, revealing a pair of eyes so mesmerizing... it appears to see through your soul.
Dipper moves out of the shadows. "Together we're the Gleeful twins." His face can now be seen, causing the crowd to murmur to themselves.
"Please take no heed to his mysteriousness... he is a bit shy." Mabel speaks up, her back facing towards the audience. "Dipper dear, would you mind picking a volunteer from the audience?"
Dipper lightly nods his head, gazing at the audience.
Nobody dare raise their hands, but only seconds pass until a hand shoots through the air. The spotlight immediately turns towards the volunteer revealing none other than a blonde, her hair loose and ending with wavy curls. She is wearing a formal green dress (AN#1), topped with a flower on her head.
No one seems to know her, not even Dipper who knows everyone in town.
But Mabel thinks otherwise. Magically, as fast as the crowd could blink, she is already beside the mysterious person.
"What a fine volunteer, say would you tell me your name?" Mabel asks, grinning wildly at Dipper who hides back in the shadows.
"Aww... you already forgot me?" A cheerful, teasing voice breaks the curious gazes of the crowd. Who could ever forget that high-pitched, cheerful voice, especially not Dipper.
She is none other than Pacifica. (AN#2)
Dipper moves forward, surprised by the girl he is seeing. He quickly moves back, realizing his mistake.
Pacifica swears she saw something on his forehead.
Mabel leads Pacifica to the stage. She ushers her to sit on a throne like looks at her brother, who slowly walks to the front of the stage holding a red piece of cloth.
Dipper kneels in front of Pacifica and ties the cloth around her head, covering her eyes, just enough to make sure she can't see.
Dipper moves back and faces the audience. "Now... just stand back and watch the magic." He tells the audience, pulling out 5 golden blades out of thin air.
Gideon starts to feel queasy, hoping Dipper won't do what he thinks he's going to do.
Quickly, Dipper pierces one into Pacifica's left arm.
The crowd tenses up. Everyone sitting on the edge of their seats. Agonizing screams and gore is what they expected. But instead, giggles echo through the tent.
"Heehee! Dipper what the heck, I'm ticklish." Pacifica exclaims. Relief overtakes the tense expressions of Gideon and the audience.
Dipper smirks mischievously. He takes another sword and pierces it into Pacifica's right arm.
Her giggles start to get louder.
Dipper now takes 2 swords and pierces Pacifica's legs.
It increases Pacifica's giggling up a notch. Giggles turn into chuckles.
The crowd stares at the two with a baffled expression. Yet they can't help but smile and succumb to the contagious laughter.
Dipper takes the last sword and pierces Pacifica straight through her chest.
Not being able to contain it anymore, she starts to laugh her head off. "Hahahahahaha! Dipper s-stop, hahahahaha! Di-dipper, st-stop, hahahaha, it!"
With a snap of his fingers the swords disappear, along with the blindfold and the laughter. "Let's give it up for Ms. Pacifica Southeast and my brother, Dipper Gleeful!" Mabel exclaims happily.
The audience bursts into applause.
"Now, who would be our next volunteer?" Mabel asks.
The hands of the audience raise up one by one,
Time Skip: After the Gleeful Twins' show.
"Oh my gosh, when Dipper started tickling me it felt like a thousand feather dusters!" Pacifica squeals.
Mabel nudges and winks at her brother.
Dipper's cheeks turn a light shade of red before speaking up."Hey, Pacifica..." He asks, taking her complete attention. "Why were you wearing that when you were called? Not that I'm complaining, but weren't you wearing a jacket before the show?" His mind fills itself with curiosity.
"You can thank me for that." Mabel interferes, slightly surprising Dipper. "I stumbled upon her holding tickets to our party. So I thought I could change her look ." Mabel remarks, smiling cheekily at Dipper.
"Gideon, you're eating with us right?" Pacifica asks, looking at her cousin who seems to be in deep thought.
Gideon only mutters a quiet "mhmm" in response.
Before they know it they are already standing at the gates of the Gleeful mansion. The large gates open as they pass by, leaving Pacifica and Gideon in a state of awe.
The door opens to reveal the interior covered in gold paint, expensive rugs, 8 buffet tables, 3 golden chandeliers and a lot of other expensive decor. The room is filled with different people, rich and famous. Although they mostly consist of adults, it didn't stop Dipper and Mabel from making small talk with them.
Pacifica lightly taps Dipper's shoulder. "So are we the only teens here?" She asks.
"No." Dipper states in annoyance, pointing at the 2 girls and 2 boys closing in on them fast.
One is wearing a sparkly green dress, just one of the few things that obviously meant to attract others. She has black hair and contact lens on.
Beside her is another girl wearing a red dress, although her body stature and gruff voice confuses others a lot.
Behind the gruff woman is a boy with light brown hair. He is wearing a suit and a red tie, matching the girl in front of him.
Lastly, is a boy with black hair and white streaks. His crimson red eyes seems to observe everyone as he walks toward Dipper.
"Dipper! Buddy! How are ya?" He asks Dipper to which he nods in return.
"Brandon, these are our new guests, meet Gideon Pines and Pacifica Southeast." Mabel points at the white haired boy and at the blonde respectively.
"Ah yes, my name is Brandon Hunter, those three are Candy, Grenda, and Marius." Brandon introduces himself and points at sparkly dress, not a guy, and average guy respectively.
He takes the hand of Pacifica, catching her by surprise. "Pacifica, what a beautiful name." Brandon remarks. He lowers his head, and kisses her hand.
"Uhh... h-hi?" Pacifica replies, too confused to reply properly.
Dipper scoffs the burning feeling rising in his chest.
"Well let's go to our tables shall we?" Mabel suggests. She walks to the 'kid's table' which size is contradictory to it's name.
The adults are sitting on a bigger table decorated with candles, bouquets of flowers.
The teens sit down in this manner: Dipper is in the middle, beside him is Candy and Brandon. Across Dipper is Mabel, who is sitting between Gideon and Pacifica. Lastly, at both ends of the tables are Marius and Grenda.
As the food is served, conversation strikes up among the teens, excluding Pacifica and Gideon who were busy eating.
"Hey Dipper..." Candy whispers seductively, to which Dipper pays no attention too. His gaze is on Pacifica instead who is happily eating her spaghetti.
Brandon elbows Dipper and takes his attention. "Dude, your friend is a real beauty... blonde, beautiful, shy.I'm in love." He whispers to Dipper who is listening while drinking a glass of alcohol free 'wine' or grape juice as the commoners called it.
Brandon takes a sip of his own before nudging Dipper once again, who is still drinking to avoid Candy from trying to lip-lock with him.
"Inverted Triangle figure... Bust: 32B, Waist: 28, Hips: 30." Brandon whispers.
The statement catches Dipper by surprise, causing him to almost choke out his drink.
Brandon sees this and decides to torture him even more. "Did you really think she's flat? She's just thin, in fact it even surprises me."
Dipper starts choking on his drink, along with a case of nosebleed, one he thought is only possible in anime.
Pacifica immediately shoots up from her seat and runs towards Dipper, giving Candy no time to react.
Pacifica then starts hitting his back, strong enough to let the liquid loose, but gentle enough to not hurt him.
After a few seconds, Dipper is finally breathing normally, all eyes on him. "I'm fine."
As quickly as the gazes from the adults came, it left.
"Dipper oh my gosh wha-" Pacifica attempts to question.
"Dipper! You're alright! No thanks to her though..." Candy suddenly clings onto Dipper and glares at Pacifica.
Brandon and Mabel snicker at the "luck" Dipper was having (AN#3).
Not wanting to deal with Candy, Dipper excuses himself to the restroom. On the way he stumbles upon Grunkle Stan, who is talking to someone else at the hallway. Gritting his teeth Dipper calms himself down and speaks up. "Grunkle Stan... we need to talk."
AN#1: To make it easier, it's the dress she wore at Northwest Mansion Mystery, the lake-foam one.
AN#2: In case you forgot, Pacifica was able to speak with almost all the residents of Depravity Falls.
AN#3: Both good AND bad luck... I mean, he pretty much just learned the 3 measurements of Pacifica, although quite unwillingly. Poor Dipper.
