A/N: Yep, two updates in one night! And since I'm officially finished with Shadowfang14's Toy Story 2, that means I can focus more on Under Gravity. Well...when I'm not looking for a job AND a new apartment. *Sigh* See, this is why I write. Gives me a chance to escape reality for a little while.
XXPay4XtraShippingsXX-Glad you think so, m8 :) I'm glad you approve-always good to hear your input.
snickermoon814-Heh, yep! Dipper's already kinda like Papyrus in canon, since they're both driven and motivated when it comes to their goals. And I thought it would be fitting (and kinda ironic) to have Papyrus! Dipper obsessed with humans like how canon! Dipper is obsessed with mysteries and the supernatural. Though he actually has a reason for that-you'll see. Heh, yep! One does have to wonder...well, you guys have to wonder, anyway. I'm the writer, after all. I already know everything :) Also, Gideon as Mettaton?! *All the color leaves my face* No need to worry-I have another part in mind for him, plus I already have a character to fill in for Mettaton.
Well, enough of that now. Read on, and enjoy.

It wasn't even thirty seconds after leaving the skeleton twins behind that Pacifica managed to get into another fight.
"Freeze!" A huge monster that looked like a cross between a goblin and a gremlin stepped out.
"AUGH!" Pacifica moved out of the way as he tried to crush her. "What do I do, what do I do?!"
"What's the matter, human?!" The monster (which Pacifica had decided to call a gremoblin) asked. "Got cold feet?!"
Pacifica stopped right away. ANOTHER jokester? Great.
Suddenly, she got an idea.
"Ha ha! That's a good one!" The monster actually smiled.
"You liked it?! HA! Dad was wrong!"
Pacifica blinked in surprise.
How did I know how to do that?
She looked at the monster, clearing her throat.
"Look, I don't want to fight! I spare you!"
"Okay." The gremoblin said. "You're alright, human." He walked off, and Pacifica sighed.
"That's a relief…" She turned again…only to be met with a zombie.
"Oh great, another one?!" Was Pacifica really going to have to face another monster every time she turned around?! This was getting real old, real fast!
Just ignore him, and he'll go away.
Pacifica wasn't sure where she got the idea, but she decided to go with it, looking away from the zombie.
"Huh?!" The zombie blinked in confusion before roaring.
"Yawn!" Pacifica pretended to check her nails, and the zombie groaned in defeat before walking off.
"Well that was random." Pacifica shook her head. "Whatever. At least it's over now."
Suddenly, a cold breeze blew, and Pacifica shivered, hugging herself for warmth.
"I can't stay out here." She said. "I need to find someplace warm."
She continued onwards, and soon heard a familiar voice.
"So, as I was saying about Wendy…" Dipper turned around as Pacifica approached, and his eye sockets widened with excitement. "MABEL! MABEL, LOOK! A HUMAN!"
"Yeah, I see her." Mabel chuckled a little awkwardly as Dipper laughed happily.
"I FINALLY DID IT! Oh man, think of Wendy's face when I show her! And King Ford…" The skeleton boy seemed to catch himself and cleared his throat, giving Pacifica a hard look. "Hold it, human! You're not going anywhere except the Capital!"
"Aren't you a little young to be a cop?" Pacifica asked, any previous fear fading when she heard how dorky he really sounded.
"Laugh now, human." Dipper said. "We'll see who's laughing when I join the Royal Guard!" He started to move to attack her, but Mabel came to Pacifica's rescue.
"Hey um, Dipper? How about you go train some more before you try and capture her?" Dipper gave his sister an incredulous look.
"Mabel, she's RIGHT there."
"Well yeah…" Mabel started, "But what if Wendy comes by? You want to look cool for her, don't you?" Dipper gasped.
"Wendy…" A dreamy look crossed his skull for a second before he turned back to Pacifica. "Next time we meet, you won't be so lucky, human!" He walked off, and Mabel smirked.
"Good thing he's so crazy about Wendy."
"Who…never mind." Pacifica shook her head. "I'm never going to get out of here if I keep getting stopped!"
"Why are you in such a big hurry to get out anyway?" Mabel asked. "The surface world can't be THAT great."
"Monsters don't try to kill me up there!" Pacifica snapped at her.
"Well, I guess there IS that…" Mabel said quietly, then shrugged. "Okay. But just be careful, alright? Grunkle Stan told me to keep an eyesocket out for you." Pacifica narrowed her eyes at the skeleton girl.
"Is he really your great-uncle?"
"Well, he takes really good care of me and Dipper." Mabel answered. "So yeah-I'd say he's a pretty great uncle."
"But…" Mabel didn't give her a chance to continue. She walked off again, and Pacifica sighed. Clearly, she wasn't going to get any answers out of her…
After doing some more walking, Pacifica came across a cart manned by a blue, rabbit-like monster with a large head and a mustache.
"Well, hi there!" He said cheerfully. "Would you like some Nice Cream? It's the frozen treat that warms your heart! Now just fifteen gold!"
"It's freezing out here!" Pacifica said. "Why would I want to buy ice cream?!"
"Uh-uh-uh!" The rabbit shook his finger "Nice cream!"
"Whatever!" But then, Pacifica's stomach growled, and she realized that she was pretty hungry.
"Alright." She sighed, looking through some gold she'd found while walking. The blue rabbit squealed excitedly
"Get it, get it!" Pacifica ignored him as she got the Nice Cream cone. She licked it…and discovered something. It actually wasn't all that cold, for starters. And not only that, it made her feel a lot better after all the fights she'd gotten into.
"Wow…this is actually pretty good." Pacifica had to admit.
"Aw, shucks." The Nice Cream guy (whose name tag said was named Tyler), said. "You know, you're the only customer I've actually had in a while. Well, you and the twins."
"You mean those skeletons?" Pacifica asked. "What's the deal with them, anyway?"
"No one really knows." Tyler admitted. "They just showed up three years ago, and have been living here ever since. They were so tiny and cute back then!" He put his hands to either side of his face, and Pacifica rolled her eyes at how sappy he was.
"But anyway;" The rabbit-like man continued, "I wouldn't worry about them, they're good kids."
"So I've heard." Pacifica said, finishing her Nice Cream. "Is there anywhere in this dump I can stay? Just for like a night or something?"
"Oh, you want the Inn." Tyler pointed. "It's right that way. Just keep going, can't miss it." Pacifica walked towards the town, though a thought kept nagging at her mind.
Tyler had said that the twins hadn't always been living there…and Mabel was really secretive. Not to mention how sad Stan had been when he was talking about them. Before Pacifica could stop herself, a thought invaded her mind.
Did they used to be human?
A/N:Yeah-this chapter was kinda random and short. Sorry about that. I really need to not do my writing so late at night...
Not sure why I had the Gremoblin as that one monster-guess it was that comment about his dad. Anyway, what will happen next? What's the truth about the skeletwins? And why does Pacifica know how to face monsters without fighting now? Review to find out!
