A/N: Yeah, that's right! I'm updating two stories in one day! And since I'm almost done with Shadowfang14's Toy Story 2, that means I can spend even more time on this story!
XXPay4XtraShippingsXX-Yep XD And yeah-that's the thing about Stan, he acts like an ass, but is really a cinnamon roll inside. Gotta love those kind of characters.
snickermoon814-Hey, welcome aboard! Always happy to have a new fan, I hope you enjoy the rest of the story! And well, Pacifica's been brainwashed into her parents into being a brat, so it's not too unbelievable they'd condition her into loving them, even if she didn't really feel that way, right? I mean, they use a freaking BELL to control her like one of Pavlov's dogs! Plus, she IS a scared little girl far from home in a world of monsters, so yeah. Anyway, I'll get back to the story now, and hope it lives up to your expectations ;)
Disclaimer: I don't own Gravity Falls or Undertale, and unless I steal a TARDIS, travel back to the past, and create either of them before Alex Hirsch or Toby Fox, I never will.
The first person Pacifica met as she left the ruins was the cyclops flower, Bill.
"Well well well!" He echoed his words from earlier. "Back again, eh blondie?"
"Augh!" Pacifica screamed as she saw him. "You again?!"
"I bet you think you're real smart, playing by your own rules and sparing one person. But not everyone's as kind as that old geezer. What if you run into a ruthless killer, huh? What'll you do then, huh?"
"I…I don't know!" Pacifica panicked before she could stop herself.
"Ha ha ha ha!" Bill laughed cruelly. "I wish you could see the look on your face! Priceless!" He narrowed his eye at her. "I'll TELL you what you'll do, Goldilocks! You'll die-over and over and over again, and no one will ever know!"
"S-shut up!" Pacifica tried to sound fierce, but the truth was, the flower's words terrified her.
"Did I hit a nerve?" Bill questioned. "Well, I'll tell you what-if and when you die, I'll be here to take over this world."
"What are you talking about?!" Pacifica snapped.
"Don't you worry your pretty little head about that, just remember…I'll be watching!" And with that, he sank back into the ground. Pacifica shuddered.
"Creepy jerk." She took a breath and steeled herself before walking out of the ruins completely.
The first thing Pacifica was aware of as she stepped outside was that it was bright. VERY bright. And there was whiteness everywhere. It took her a moment to realize why.
"Snow?" She knelt down, grabbing a pinch of snow between two fingers. "But it's July! At least-it was on the surface world. Guess things are different down here." She looked around.
From the look of it, Pacifica seemed to be in a snowy wooded forest, somewhat similar to the woods in Gravity Falls.
"Good thing I'm wearing a sweater." She then looked down, remembering that she was also wearing shorts. "Oh…right. UGH, what was I even thinking when I got dressed?!" She shook her head before starting forward. Pacifica hadn't gotten far before she heard a twig snap behind her.
The little blonde froze in her tracks. Was she being followed? Was it another monster she'd have to fight?! A lump formed in her throat, and she grabbed her stick tighter.
No. She WOULDN'T fight. Pacifica kept walking until she reached a bridge…and then she heard the footsteps behind her.
"Stop, human!" A rough female voice called from behind her.
Yep, another monster.
Was it going to fight her? Try to steal her soul?!
Pacifica's heart started beating faster.
"Don't you know how to say hello to new friends?" The voice asked with a harsh chuckle.
"'Friend'?" Pacifica blinked, but she didn't dare to turn around. She was too scared of what she might see.
"That's right." The voice answered. "Now turn around nice and easy-let's shake hands." Pacifica squeezed her eyes tight before slowly turning around and grasping the other's hand.
FRRRRRRTTTTT!
Pacifica's eyes snapped open right away at the sound.
"Ha! I can't believe you fell for that!" Pacifica was greeted with the sight of a grinning skull, and resisted the urge to fall over in surprise or fear. Instead, she settled for gaping at the newcomer in surprise.
She seemed to be the skeleton of a young girl with a white shirt, blue hoodie, and black skirt. Her eye sockets had glowing white pupils, and despite being a skeleton, she somehow had long, bushy brown hair that was kept back with a headband. If Pacifica had to guess, she'd think that the skeleton girl was about her age, twelve.
The skeleton girl let go of Pacifica's hand, still grinning at her, and the blonde suddenly noticed that she had braces.
"So, you're a human, huh?"
"Yeah, I'm human, who the heck are you?!" Pacifica demanded, shaking her hand out as if to get whoopee cushion germs off it.
"I'm Mabel Pines! Nice to meet you!"
"'Mabel'?" Pacifica's eyes widened again at the familiarity of the name. "Wait-YOU'RE that goat guy's great-niece?!"
"Grunkle Stan?" Mabel asked, smile never leaving her skull (though that very well may have been because she was a skeleton and all). "Yep!" Pacifica's mind was blown.
"But you're…"
"Smiling?"
"Um…"
"Yeah, Grunkle Stan's a great guy, but he's really grumpy a lot of the time." Mabel interrupted her. "It's almost like something's…got his goat?!" She nudged Pacifica, and the blonde narrowed her eyes at her. Great. Puns. To think she'd been scared of this girl, even for a second. Still, the fact that she was a skeleton and her so-called 'Grunkle' was a goat monster raised some questions…
"Anyway," Mabel said, "I'm actually supposed to be on watch for humans right now, but I don't really want to capture anyone."
"Really?" Pacifica asked in surprise.
"Yeah." Mabel said. "I just want to be friends!" She smiled wider for a second before continuing "My brother Dipper on the other hand, he's NUTS about hunting humans."
"Why?!" Pacifica asked. "What did humans ever…oh, right." She cut herself off and blushed in embarrassment. "So um-is your brother a skeleton like you?"
"Of course, silly!" Mabel blew a slight raspberry. "We're twins, what else would he be?!"
Pacifica started to speak, but then Mabel looked over her shoulder.
"Hey, there's Dipper now!" Pacifica gasped.
"What do I do?!"
"Hold on, just go through the gate." Mabel advised her. Pacifica did as she suggested, then hid behind a snow bank as she saw another skeleton approaching Mabel.
This one was a boy who appeared to be the same height as Mabel, give or take a millimeter. Like his sister, he had brown hair on his skull, though from what Pacifica could see, he strangely didn't seem to have pupils. He was wearing what seemed to be armor of some kind, with an image of a pine tree on the chest piece.
"Hey, bro-bro!" Mabel waved at her twin casually as he came up to her. "How's it going?!"
"Care to tell me why you haven't been checking your puzzles?" Dipper asked angrily. "What have you even been doing, hitting on every guy who comes by here?!"
"Maybe…" Mabel blushed a little as she smiled, and Dipper groaned in frustration.
"MABEL, THINK! What if a human comes through here?! We have to be ready!" He looked up to the sky, a dreamy look crossing his skull. "Just think! If I catch a human, I can join the Royal Guard…and maybe someday even become King Ford's apprentice! Then he'll show me his journal, and I can learn everything I've ever wanted to learn about humans!"
"Uh-huh…" Mabel said, clearly not interested. "So…you'd be able to tell even if a human was, say…behind that snow drift?"
Pacifica's heart stopped abruptly.
What was she doing?! Okay yes, they hadn't gotten off on the best terms, but was she really selling her out?!
Fortunately for her, Dipper just glared at his twin.
"Very funny, Mabel. I'm not falling for it. Now, why don't you actually do something instead of just daydreaming?! I swear, every day you get lazier and lazier!"
"Oh, I wouldn't say that, bro-bro." Mabel countered, grin never leaving her face. "I do a ton of work! A skele-ton!"
If she wasn't so weirded out by this whole thing, Pacifica would almost find the exchange between the twins funny.
"Whatever." Dipper sighed. "I'm going to go work on my puzzles." And with that, he walked off, and Mabel turned to the snow bank.
"Okay, he's gone now." Pacifica walked out, brushing some snow off her sweater.
"Thanks." She looked at Mabel. "So…that's your twin brother?"
"Mmm-hmm." Mabel nodded.
"So you're…?"
"Skele-twins?!" Mabel laughed. "Puns! Oh, you and me are going to be good friends!"
"Yeah-hate to disappoint, but that's not going to happen." Pacifica crossed her arms. "I'm actually trying to get back to the surface world so…"
"Really?" Mabel asked. "Okay, but think you could do me a favor? You might not have noticed, but Dipper's kind of obsessed with humans."
"Oh, I've noticed." Pacifica deadpanned.
"So," Mabel started, "If you think you could let him see you…"
"I'm NOT letting your crazy brother capture me!" Pacifica snapped, balling her hands into fists. "What part of 'I'm trying to go home' do you not understand?!"
"Oh, don't worry, Dipper's not dangerous." Mabel assured her. "No matter how much he tries to show off."
"Ugh, whatever!" Pacifica rolled her eyes. "Bonehead." This just made the skeleton girl laugh again.
"You're alright. See you around?"
"Yeah, that's gonna happen." Pacifica continued walking until she couldn't hear Mabel's laughter anymore. Though try as she might, she couldn't help but wonder about her and her brother-and just what their connection to Stan was. How could a pair of skeletons be related to a goat man? And why had Stan been so sad when he talked about them earlier?
What's their story?
A/N: Oh, this was FUN! XD So yeah, Mabel's Sans in this story, and Dipper's Papyrus. Though given how energetic and flirty Papyrus is, it probably should've been the other way around, but whatever. Besides, I kind of like the idea I came up with for Papyrus! Dipper-he's trying to join the Royal Guard in the hopes of impressing Ford and becoming his apprentice, so that he can learn more about humans. Heh-some things never change. Well, that and ANOTHER reason...
Hope you guys liked reading this chapter as much as I liked writing it. Now then-do me a favor and review?
