She feels the car comes to a halt. The pain in her mind is simply an unbearable one, but she force herself to clear all of her problems away and steps out of the car. Standing in front of the Annual Summer Dance Party building, Pacifica took one very deep breath before walking closer into the party hall entrance and prepare to face the day's craziness. As soon as she enters, she is greeted by a tall and stout butler with a tray of champagne at his arms "Good day madam! Please... make yourself comfy" he says while passing over a glass of champagne in which Pacifica replies "Thank you.." and she continued to gaze over the maddening dance party around her.

The party was going all well. The music is blasting loud with blinding lights causing Pacifica to not notice another girl sneaking up on her and poked her shoulders causing her to almost drop her glass, alongside an excited squeal coming from behind. "Pacifica! Glad you made it!" she turns around to see an enlightened Mabel who has a big grin on her face, holding what seems to be a glass filled with what she recalls as "Mabel Juice" she almost shivers at the reminder of how the punch actually tastes. She points to the glass her friend is holding "You still drink that until now?" Mabel looks down to her glass, and shoves in front of her face "Yup! This thing is the true party juice! I should get a patent for it actually..." she then realizes Pacifica's gloom feeling. Without missing a beat, she instantly went to the case "He already knows if that's what you're wondering about..."

Pacifica just looks up and almost wants to curse Mabel's straight-forwardness behavior, but quickly scratches that out of her mind as she knows that her dear friend just wants to help her. Her mind became darkened by sadness and longing, which Mabel instantly feels and decided to let her cool her head a bit "Lets sit down somewhere first, then you we can talk!" she leads Pacifica to a nearby couch, and places both her and Pacifica's drink on a table. They both sat down as Mabel waited for Pacifica to start talking up. She manages to stay silent for just about half a minute, until she couldn't be any more patient "So... he says he's very sorry for like, not knowing that.."

Hearing that, a surprisingly guilty feeling came over to her mind. As far as she knows, if Dipper feels guilty he can mercilessly blame himself up until the moon. She groans in a bit of a regret "I didn't mean to put him in that kind of position..." she covers her face with her hands. Mabel gave a reassuring pat on her shoulders "Don't worry I'm pretty sure he knows that as well" Pacifica was still down in the dumps, when a voice suddenly spoke out "But I'm really sorry you know..." she looks up to see a smiling yet a bit guilty face of none other than Dipper Pines, her long time crush that is now no longer within her reach of love. He was standing in front of her with one hand reaching out for her. She was thinking that he had an apology to make, so she confusedly yet politely waves it off "No need for an apology dummy, it's kinda-" she was caught of guard by a chuckling sound from Dipper, which she saw he was shaking his head "No no, this isn't an apology shake! I mean like, after all these years, I think I at least owe you a dance..."

She was of course startled by this offer, she look towards a certain redhead standing behind the man in front of her. She points towards Dipper "Is it fine by you?" Wendy just laughs and walks closer to her "Chillax dude, just make sure no one other than me and you gets to dance with this chump alright?" she says while giving her fiancee a one hand semi-strangling hug. Pacifica couldn't help but smile at her and stood up slowly, causing a slight smile to show up on Dipper's face. She takes his hand and gives a jokingly warning look "Better be a smooth dancer you mystery geek" Mabel stood up excitedly "Relax, I'm pretty sure he had listen to enough Disco Girl and dance along it to kinda get the basic of dancing" Dipper shot her a glare "Mabel! You're not helping much here" but Mabel didn't seem to be bothered "What? Aww you never told her that it was your bathroom habit wasn't it?" Dipper turns beet-red as he watches Pacifica holding back a chuckle, but she manages to controls herself and puts an arm around his. "Let's get the dance going shall we?" Dipper smiles and walks over alongside Pacifica towards the dancing floor, before preparing for the incoming tune.

He watches as the two walks away, but Clay wasn't so sure of the decision "You really sure you're ok with this whole thing?" Wendy just looks back to her cousin and waves of his worries "I told you dude, if it was only her or Mabel, I would be totally fine! It's not like I'll get jealous at them nah man... but if it is someone else than those two, I'll give Dipper a slight warning and the girl gets a bigger warning!" Clay just laughs to her statement, but then he felt a tug on his shoulders, finding his new-found sister Jenna looking up at him. "You gotta be careful around here, there's a lot of wolfs around here ready to strike..." Clay almost didn't get the actual memo "Wolfs!? Why not tell Dipper about it the-" he then realizes as a couple of beading eyes staring down at him, which made him realize what his sister is trying to tell him "Ooooh... those wolfs.." Jenna's eyes lurk around the corner to see multiple rich looking women having target eyes on his brother and Dipper, who is still enjoying the dance with Pacifica, who the women's are giving a menacing look to her.

Jenna had a bit of a shiver "Well I wouldn't be too comfy if I'm Pacifica right now..." Clay takes a quick look at the dancing couple and scans around them to find a lot of menacing eyes staring at Pacifica but switches at sometimes with a wanting look towards Dipper, in which both of them doesn't seem to notice at all. He then finds himself a bit scared when a couple of those eyes started looking towards him as well, which made him sigh "Why should I be a target!?" Jenna just scoofs and places her face right in front of her brother's "Cause now you're rich, you look like someone strong, they heard you have a successful business, and above all you're good looking!" her brother just made a joking face "Aww, thanks... UUF" he moved back a bit as his little sister gave him a hard yet hearty punch in the chest, which he instantly tries to calm him down "Okay okay I get it... I'll try not to attract more attention.." Jenna just sighs as she scans around her "You already did"

Clay looks around to find even more faces staring at him, as if he's a cow that is stuck in the middle of pack of lion. Jenna just pulls him closer and also calls Wendy to get closer as well "If the three of us stick, they won't mess around.." Clay then points out towards Dipper "What about the man of the hour?" his cousin now felt the need to answer it "I'll get Mabel on the case, hey Mabes! C'mere for a sec!" Mabel trotted over, a bit slumping away from "spying" her twin brother having a dance with her best friend "Sup future sister in law!" Wendy grabs her closer and whispers loudly on her ears "Listen, your brother is currently the prime prey alongside with tree hugger here! So I need you to stick with this guy and I'll go alongside Dipper" Mabel then gives an assuring thumbs up "Don't worry, I'll make sure none of these jocks gets a touch on your cousin! But make sure you do the same with broseph!" the redhead gives her a fiery look of determination and a big thumbs up "Got it"

Meanwhile, among the commotion. Dipper and Pacifica are still dancing along the groovy but slow tune played by the jazzy band. They swayed slowly among the crowd of dancer doing the same, although most of the women are distracted by one certain man. Pacifica felt like she was having the time of her life, she may not be able to be with her deep crush forever but this seems to totally make up for it. She was silently enjoying the dance, until Dipper calls out "So, how're you feeling?" Pacifica looks up to see Dipper's face actually with his eyes closed, also enjoying the moment. She felt the need to relax her mind a bit, and before she knows it, her head is already resting within Dipper's shoulders, in which he didn't mind a single bit, but all the women around almost seems like they wanted to strangle her. Pacifica then manages find the oomph to answer out "You know, for all these years this is totally worth it" Dipper then asks her "But you really don't mind if I y'know..." Pacifica instantly lifts her head and stares at Dipper's eyes with a more confident and lively expression "Look sorry I didn't want to make you go to that position dummy! But the thing is, whatever regrets you have about this whole thingy, please put it behind! You deserve her and she deserve you and there's is no questioning that ok?" Dipper just smiles at her gratefully, and then says "Now you're starting to sound like Mabel..." Pacifica just snorts "Huh, I'm not like her you dweeb" she says retaining to her old self.

Dipper just laughs "Now you start to sound like Wendy!" Pacifica just shrugs her shoulders and rests her head once again on his shoulders, even more comfortable than last time. "Just shut up and dance along.." that triggers a smile out of the man she's holding tightly "That's the Pacifica I knew" they continued dancing peacefully along the music, with the other four watching calmly yet alarmed of their surroundings of hunting women.

"Ahahaha! Finally this machine is setup perfectly fine! I'll finally get my revenge over the Pines twins and rule this world!" Gideon filled the backstage with a loud laughter of pure evil and vengeance intenions, when suddenly a certain dream demon interrupted him "Hey shortstack, you might wanna check this out!" Gideon turns around a bit annoyed, but still interested to see what the demon had to show "What is it?' he walks up to Bill as he opens up a bit of the curtain showing a group of people talking together. Gideon was caught by surprise as he caught sight of Mabel, Wendy, Clay, and also Jenna "What are those four people doing here?" Bill just rolls his eyes "Think again, if they're here, then..." Gideon thought for a bit and then had a spark on his mind and began scanning through the dancing crowd, until he yells a loud "Aha! There you are!" he says while staring sharply towards two people dancing in the middle area, showing Dipper and Pacifica still swaying quietly and smoothly to the song.

"Dipper Pines, we meet again... and I promise you this won't end like how it used to end..." he clasp his hand together and giggles uncontrollably. He checks the machine to see if it is ready to be fired up, while Bill just floats around casually "Y'know kid, I'm kinda impressed that you are smart enough to be able to plan all this! But not see how it's not going to work!" Gideon just waves the demon off "Keep it to yourself Bill, I know for sure this'll work and whatever you say won't change my mind!" he continues rigging the machine with Bill just huffing and leaves out of the backstage to the main event place with his invisibility.

With a slow murmur, Gideon says "This time... it'll work... or my name isn't Gideon Charles Gleeful!"

He sensed it. An intense glare pointing right at him. Signs of threat about to show up from any corner in near time. Apparently Pacifica seems to notice as his grip changes into a soft and relaxed grip to a tight and tense one. "Hey, you alright there?" Dipper remained in his serious condition "Somebody is watching over us.." Pacifica looks around and immediately notices the amount of women and girls practically making goo goo eyes over her dance partner. She just scoofs "You mean those man hunters? I wouldn't worry much about the if I were you" but Dipper waves away her statement, still with his alerted and serious face "No, not someone like that! This is one feel that wants to rather destroy us"

"You know? I thought you far away from Gravity Falls would get your nerdy side kinda out" as the two were surprised by the sudden appearance of Mabel and the rest. Wendy just nods in agreement "Yeah, live the fun of it dude! You gotta chill sometimes in a year you know!" still all those calming words doesn't seem to keep the young detective's head clear, which signals to Clay that something isn't quite right by his best friends standards "What's the bother?" Dipper looks around him, trying to scan for a imminent threat. "That's the problem, I can't detect where it is.. but it just gave me a strict and clear warning threat" Clay then joins in trying to scan for the threat, he then tells Dipper to do a task "Here, I'll go checking around the place, you get them to safety and watch over them, got it?"

Dipper gave a nod, and turns towards Mabel, who has a worried expression "So this thing really is serious?" with a hard nod, Dipper then explains the whole situation "Usually, if I have a sense of something watching over, it's usually something that's pretty threatening.." Mabel and Jenna can only look confused and turn towards Wendy, who had an agreeing face "Pretty much yea, every time he got this whole wizard ting his nerves became like godly and stuff, everything he senses can be really useful to find out what's actually happening!"

They continued talking as Clay began venturing around the venue, exploring every single room and edges he can discover. The dance was pretty crowded as it disallows him to move freely, which he curses himself to getting in to the mess there is. As he searches the premises, he couldn't seem to notice that someone or rather something is following him unsuspectedly from behind. He eventually arrives at a door with the label "Backstage" in it, which obviously has a warning to not enter except for employees. But at this point, he didn't really seem to care about breaking in somewhere, and just turns the doorknob and enters in, alongside with the certain something following him.

He checks around, only to find two security members fast asleep on their guard table "Huh, apparently someone hasn't been doing they're job ever so well.." he says as he watches the two security practically drooling at their desk, which made him move away immediately from the scene, and continues exploring deeper in.

At the end he reached an open room that has a big tarp in the middle of it, causing him to be curious of whats inside. "Huh, wonder what's inside this thing.." he was about to take a peek under the tarp, when a voice suddenly booms out "I would not do that if I were you.." he almost feels embarrassed about getting caught, but then he realizes who is talking to him "Wait, Gideon!? What are you doing here?" Gideon sniggers and points to the empty ceiling "I have an eye at you for your information that is" he looks up to find an empty ceiling, but he knew who he meant "Alright enough with the games Bill!" from the empty ceiling, came forth a triangle yellow dream demon who floats casually to his side "You know, considering that you're human, you're pretty hard to keep an eye on! You impress me tree hugger, as your cousin calls you that it!"

Clay felt a sense of threat "You stay away from them, you hear me?" Bill then held both his hand up "Whoa, relax there I'm not the one having trouble with you, this little dude right is the one that has issues!" as he points to Gideon, who slowly walks over to the tarp "Y'know what's behind this thing Clayton?" Clay just folds his hand "Don't know, and I'm not the most interested customer..." Gideon laughs loudly and grabs the tarp "You'll regret saying that" he pulls down the tarp, revealing a gigantic machine with a circular tube attached at it's center, alongside with multiple pipes connecting to it.

"What in the world is that thing?" Bill just came closer to him "It's basically a soul sucking device! And he's planning to use it to suck Pine Tree's soul out of him and get him physically impossible to interact with the world!" Clay looks back sharply towards the kid villain "You are definitely not gonna pull that off.." he went to offensive position, but it doesn't seem to intimidate the teen at all, instead he just let's a shrill laugh and glares at him "You see... this thing has a special mechanism to use, and I think.." he pulls down a lever, which instantly activates what seems to look like a laser ray, and aims dead on to Clay "I'm going to test it on you..." Clay instantly changes to defensive mode, but then Gideon pulls down the lever and causes the cannon to start pulsating. Gideon gives a small wave "Bon voyage!" the machine fires off an immense ball of lighting which struck Clay right on his body, causing him to fly over through the curtains and blasts through the party venue. Causing the whole party to watch him fly across the room, catching Dipper off guard, horrifies Jenna, and makes Mabel, Wendy, and Pacifica go worry sick as they watch him flew and crash on to a set of tables.

They are instantly rushed to him, Dipper reaching his side first "Clay! What just happened?" the man laying down on the rubble of table debris just barely manages to keep he's eyes open "He's... here Dipper..." Dipper couldn't wrap his head around it "What, who is here?" his question was then answered by itself as a voice came booming over the speakers "Ladies and gentleman! May I present you the show of the century, by Lil'Gideon!" the whole crowd turns towards the stage to find the teen standing at the center. With the machine now presentable to the crowd. "This show will amuse you all and bring joy to this place, and make you all like me!" the crowd are simply confused of what actually happening. Dipper stares deep on to Gideon's eyes, which practically says "I won't lose this time Pines! Not today!"

Dipper gritted his teeth and left Clay to the girl's caring, as he stood up and clenches his white fists.

"Bring it on!"
