A/N: Hey, guys! I'm sorry this took so long-I've been busy. By which I mean doing art and watching Don't Starve videos on YouTube XD Real talk though-lately there've been some good and bad points in my life. First of all, Tumblr FINALLY reactivated my account, so I've been having fun getting back to RPs. Sorry for freaking out on you guys before. Bad news though-my driving lessons are currently on hold. The guy Mom hired to teach me charges $35 an hour, so she figured we'd take a break from him for a while, and my uncle could help me master things like reversing, etc. BUT my uncle has been having back spasms so yeah-doesn't look like that's going to happen :/ Mom said she and my stepdad will do some thinking, and figure out what to do. Well anyway, on to the next chapter.

Pierce-Oh, we'll see...we'll see...

XXPay4XtraShippingsXX-Yeah, Ford is a really complex character-both in universe and in the original GF. A perfect substitute for Asgore, no? But don't fret, things will work out...eventually. But not in this chapter.

Growing up with overbearing, emotionally abusive perfectionist parents wasn't as bad as most people would think. Okay yes, there were a lot of bad points, but it also allowed Pacifica to develop a habit which had helped her a lot growing. Namely, humming to help her calm down when she was nervous or scared. Like when she was eight and her puppy-an adorable Bichon Frise she'd named Pom-Pom, ran away from home. She'd run crying to her parents, and after a lot of fussing and carrying on, they'd sent one of their doormen to find the dog.

To that day, the waiting was still the worst part-Pacifica almost drove herself crazy with worry while hoping and praying that her beloved puppy would come home. Fortunately for Pacifica, the previous night she and her parents had been to a stage version of the Wizard of Oz. Given that it was Gravity Falls residents putting the show on, it wasn't anything spectacular, but Pacifica was still able to keep her mind off her worry somewhat by humming 'We're Off to See the Wizard', 'The Jitterbug', and 'Somewhere Over the Rainbow' all day. Finally, at three o'clock, the doorman had come home with a very dirty, but perfectly safe, Pom-Pom, and Pacifica was so happy she was driven to tears.

Unfortunately, humming didn't work as well in this particular situation. Pacifica could barely even hum with the huge lump in her throat. She'd have to kill someone. What was more, she'd have to kill the king of the Underground. After she'd made all these friends, gotten this far without having to hurt anyone, it looked like she couldn't afford to be a pacifist anymore.

Ding!

Pacifica gulped heavily as the elevator doors opened.

"Okay…here we go." She stepped outside, and was treated to a lot of gray buildings.

"Is this the Capitol?" Pacifica looked around at everything curiously as she walked through the city. Everything was still. Unnervingly still. Pacifica felt like a random monster would pop out and want to fight her again at any moment.

But still, nothing.

Pacifica started trembling. Humming wasn't enough anymore, so she started singing out loud.

"Life is sad, believe me Missy,

When you're born to be a sissy.

Without the vim and verve."

Pacifica kept looking around every corner, surprised and scared that she didn't see any people. It probably SHOULD have made her feel better-but that only made her more terrified.

She was alone. Completely, totally, alone.

"But I could change my habits, never more be scared of rabbits…"

Tears came to her eyes.

"If I only had the nerve…"

A dark, ominous path loomed ahead of her. Pacifica immediately knew that it was the right path to take to get to Ford. She clutched her stick tightly, walking down the path towards certain doom.

What she saw after walking down the path was…

"The ruins?"

Indeed, the scene in front of her looked exactly like the ruins Stan lived in, down to the flowers she'd fallen in at the very beginning and the Mystery Shack. Her step slowed as she stepped through the flowers again, half-expecting to run into Bill or Stan again.

Pacifica's heart was pounding as she stepped inside the empty shack.

"Stan?!" Pacifica called out. "Stan?!" It looked like the Mystery Shack, but there was no sign that anyone was there.

"Dipper? Mabel?" Pacifica continued. "A-anyone?" Suddenly, something caught her eye. A dusty picture frame. With shaking hands, Pacifica reached out and grabbed it.

The picture showed a younger Stan, another goat man who must have been his brother, Ford…and Gideon.

The Gideon in the picture was alive and smiling…nothing like his current self.

"What happened to you?" Pacifica asked under her breath. Suddenly, she heard something outside. "Huh? W-who's there?!"

It seemed she wasn't alone after all…

Pacifica put the picture down and went outside.

A dark shadow drifted down the corridor. Pacifica swallowed, following the shadow.

This is a bad idea…

All the same, Pacifica kept on going.

"H-hello? King Ford?"

But the figure waiting for her wasn't Ford. It was…

"Mabel? What are you…?" Mabel sniffed, and Pacifica realized that she was crying. The skeleton girl's head was bowed, tears pouring furiously from her eye sockets. Her bony hands were clenched into fists, and it was obviously she was trying very hard not to fall apart. "Mabel?"

"I'm sorry." Mabel sniffed.

"Sorry?" Pacifica echoed in confusion, dreading her next question. "Sorry for what?"

"…this." Mabel lifted her head to look at Pacifica, and the blonde gasped in horror as she saw her eyes. Her right eye socket was completely black, with no light to be seen, like when she threatened her. Her left eye socket was even more horrifying-it was glowing with an eerie pink orb, a small black pupil visible in the center. Before Pacifica could react, Mabel raised her hand…and she found herself lifted into the air.

"Wha?! Hey!" That was all Pacifica got out before Mabel telekinetically threw her against the wall.

"Ahhhh! Stop it! Why are you doing this?!"

"I DON'T HAVE A CHOICE!" Mabel was openly crying now, tears running uncontrollably from both her black and glowing pink eye. She picked Pacifica up again, throwing her against the other wall. This time, however, Pacifica was more ready. She braced herself for impact, placing her hands against the wall, palm-first.

"Why?! Because you're a monster?! Is that it?!" Mabel gasped, and Pacifica could tell she'd hit a nerve. Pacifica glared at the skeleton girl. "Ever since I fell down here, everyone and their dog has been wanting to fight me, but I didn't want to! I never even wanted to be a part of this!"

WHAM! Mabel sent Pacifica falling to the floor, but once again, she was prepared. Pacifica curled into a ball, so her knees got the most damage. Pacifica pulled herself up…just in time to see a bunch of glowing unicorn heads surrounding her.

"Oh no…" The unicorns all opened their mouths, sending out blasts at Pacifica. She only survived by jumping to the ground, covering her head.

Pacifica looked back over at Mabel.

"If this is about Dipper…!"

"Dipper's in trouble!" Mabel cried. "Gideon's got him!"

Pacifica's blood ran cold.

"What?"

"He…he said he'd let him go if I got your soul!" Mabel shouted. A pink heart, her human SOUL, appeared on the front of her shirt. "Dipper's all I have left from my human life! Him and Grunkle Stan-they're all I have! I don't even care if we're stuck down here forever-I just want my brother back!"

For just a second, Mabel didn't look like a scary skeleton. Pacifica saw her as a scared little girl who'd lost everything.

But that didn't make the pink glow in her eye socket any less ominous as she raised her hand again.

"Pacifica-I really thought we could be friends. I didn't want to hurt you-but I have to."

A/N: Wow, Gideon. You'd really put Mabel through the anguish of having to fight and kill her friend? That's low, bro. REAL low. But yeah, I have plans for Dipper and Mabel. I've been doing some thinking-I think I might give them a bigger role in the story later on. We'll see, we'll see...

In the meantime, how's about leaving me some reviews, eh? Reviews make me write faster!
