However, if you're into more Dipifica, I'll be posting something pretty soon so be on the look for it. :)

Okay, continue reading Dipifica fans!

All of the guests started to walk towards Preston, angry, fists clutched in rage and eyebrows lowering to show faces of disgust. Preston started to back away in fear, and placed a light arm across his body to protect himself. "C'mon, you guys, that was all in the past, can't we just forgive each other?" he persuaded, but it seems no one paid attention to his plead. Marius was leading the angry crowd towards the frightened man, and he returned a revengeful look to Preston, the face of the young baron only scaring Preston more.

"Mr. Northwest, we would very much like an apology from you. We don't need to give you any apologies whatsoever." Marius explained. "If so, we can go on with the party and pretend this never happened, but if you continue your selfish ways, we may... hm, how do I say this, we may integrate you into doing the right thing, a possible outcome of having to start a fight and fret."

Preston trembled. He didn't want to forgive anyone, no, a Northwest never backs down and forgives others in care and they fight for their own well being. He took a glimpse at his daughter and the commoner beside her, both looking disappointed and impatient at Preston and expecting him to pick an answer. Preston refused to forgive anyone, but he also didn't want to start a fight.

After a few seconds of an awkward silence, in a fit of stubbornness, Preston crossed his arms and shook his head. "I will never forgive anyone," he declared. "I believe I'm doing the good for my benefit, so why would I give up on what I think is right? To be honest, all of you should be forgiving me."

Everyone's face just turned more sour after Preston's strong, irritating response. Marius seemed to now have a fire lit in his eyes, and he shot down a stare at Preston. "I guess you picked option number two, huh?" he asked, a vicious growl coming after. Preston looked at the crowd, before he started to back away slowly. The crowd only started to get closer with each step Preston took, making Preston scared to the bone.

"Please, stop, all of you," Preston pleaded, his voice quivering. His eyes then darted to his daughter and her little friend which were settled at the back of the crowd. "Pacifica, commoner boy, please, I'm... I'm..."

"GET HIM!" a guest shouted, his voice desolating the lobby. All of the guests agreed in trembling screams, and their silent stepping transformed into a quick sprint. Preston screamed for his life, as he started to make his way out of the room. The crowd of angry guests only caught up to him. Dipper and Pacifica and the rest of their friends stayed in the lobby, staring at the crowd that left in a matter of seconds.

"Well, I guess we have this evening under control," Marius said, turning over to his friends. "Grenda, my sweetheart, please wait for me after this violent mob. And Pacifica and Dipper? Thank you, and we promise everything will be arranged and re-ordered after this evening."

Marius gave a quick solute to Pacifica, and Pacifica responded with a quick courtesy. The baron then followed after the crowd, the clicking of his heels echoing the empty room. Dipper, Pacifica, Mabel, Candy, Grenda and Francis were then left in their own thoughts. Francis suddenly then stepped in front of the group, as he gave a quick bow to Pacifica. "I'm terribly sorry, but I have to be excused. I may be assistance to this whole entire dilemma, and maybe even have a chance to end it. Mistress Pacifica, please have a wonderful evening. And... Dipper Pines, what is it? Please make sure Mistress Pacifica is safe. We wouldn't want her to get hurt under any of our supervisions, hm?"

Dipper nodded. "Of course." he replied.

Francis then left the scene, following behind Marius; leaving Dipper, Pacifica, Mabel, Candy and Grenda now to their own, quiet thoughts.

Candy took a step forward so that she could see that Preston, the crowd, Marius and Francis fully escaped the room. "Is everyone gone?" Candy asked, peering her eyes to the faraway doorway that everyone escaped through. "What do we do now?"

"We wait." Dipper replied, as he looked at everyone who was present in the room. "Like what Marius said earlier, the commoners should be safe here in the manor. They can come out whenever they like. It seems that the rich guests have this whole entire Preston dilemma under control, so we don't have to worry about that either. So all we do now is wait until we get a result."

"Exactly how long do you think the rich people are going to get at this?" Pacifica asked, moving beside Candy to peer into the doorway. "Y'know, me and Dipper still have something to do, and they might interrupt it."

Mabel then waddled over to her brother and started to poke him teasingly, a large smile on her face. "Ooo, what exactly is this 'something' you two need to do?" Mabel sang, as she continued to poke her brother. Dipper slapped his sister's hand away from him gently, and brushed off the area where she touched him. "Me and Pacifica were exploring the manor, remember? She's taking me to the coolest places around, and so far, we just explored two." He walked over to Pacifica to make sure she agreed, and Pacifica nodded and crossed her arms. "Yeah, he's right. However, it's getting late. Most of our exploring was replaced with us trying to hide from my dad. Now that I mention it... sorry about that. I should really live up to my promises, shouldn't I?" Pacifica said, as she started to rub her elbow nervously.

Dipper looked at Pacifica, surprised. "Are you kidding? Even though it has been really scary, I had a lot of fun with you, Pacifica." Dipper confessed, as he gave a playful punch to Pacifica. "You don't have to worry about anything."

Pacifica nodded, a bit relieved that Dipper wasn't even a bit annoyed. "Thanks, Dipper. I had a lot of fun with you, too." she smiled.

Both stared into each other's eyes for a while, Mabel secretly admiring it, until they both stared away at the different floors above them. They could hear the screeching screams of the guests from above, their screams bouncing off the hallways they passed by. A few seconds later, the group could easily hear the mob exit out the rooms, and back in. It kept on going on and off, and it started to annoy Pacifica.

"Oh, is Marius doing okay?" Grenda said, as she stared at the crowds coming in and out of rooms. "I can't see him anywhere."

Pacifica also began to feel nervousness crawl in her body. Even though it was just a large goose fight, and a loud one at that, all of the screaming made Pacifica tremble. She didn't know what to feel about her father now- should she let him off the leash or have him punished?

Instead, Pacifica just closed her eyes tightly and waited for the time to pass.
