From x Inspired Addict x: "Can you do the thoughts of Dipper at the episode Northwest Mansion Mystery? I am really wondering and shocked why Dipper ignored McGucket's warning. OR could you do Stan and Soos one shot because they didn't appear in the latest ep? (It's up to you on what they are doing while the twins are in the Northwest party.)"

I'll go with the Dipper idea since we kind of know what Stan was doing and I'm too tired to come up with something for Soos (how much do you wanna bet he was at home playing video games and/or watching the news about the party and making comments to his grandma, who probably fell asleep during the beginning and doesn't wake up, haha?). This has really been bugging me anyway; why did the paranoid child just walk away?

"Lighten up, Dippin' Dot! It's a party, we're supposed to have fun!"

"You're not making one of the over-complicated lists, are you?"

"Dipper, just be yourself! You don't need to be so serious, doofus."

He wasn't a killjoy. He could be serious at times, but he wasn't a party-killer.

"Why not enjoy the party, instead of just going home to the Shack?" Mabel had suggested when he was packing his bag to go to the mansion. "It's not like this is something that'll happen every day, Dipper."

"Yeah, because I really want to mingle with snotty rich people like Pacifica's family."

His sister rolled her eyes. "Can't you be a little bit nice to her? She's not as bad as I thought, Dip... I think there's something else going on that made her act like a buttface. Maybe something at home."

"Gee, snooty rich girl comes from a wealthy family with everything she desires and has servants who wait at her beck and call. Yep, it's definitely something at her home, Mabel." Something about the blonde (well, he suspected she was faking the blonde hair, probably dyed it from... whatever color she naturally was) irked him, and not just because she teased his twin sister and made her summer miserable some days.

Mabel glared at him. "I'm serious, Dipper! Pacifica is a good person. I just know it. Why else would she come to you for help? Maybe she's starting to like us. Her parents don't seem like the nicest people..."

He had brushed it off, said that she was probably overthinking this. Just because she wanted to believe the rich girl was a nice person didn't mean that she was.

But then he had spent the evening fighting off ghosts and yelling at stubborn rich jerks for using him and he'd found himself comforting the blonde as she broke before his eyes because her family was terrible and she believed she was just like them...Mabel was right. As she usually was when it came to these things.

Pacifica wasn't a bad person. Not really. No matter how badly he had insisted before, he took it all back now. She was just doing what she believed was normal or expected - which probably had to do with that annoying bell they kept ringing in her face whenever she messed up (now that was seriously messed up). If anything... dare he say it...Dipper thought she was actually pretty cool.

"She's just a normal kid, like us."

Why was his sister so right sometimes?

And as McGucket dragged him away, rambling on about destruction and the apocalypse... he wondered if maybe he should follow her advice and let it go. As much as a part of him despised this idea and was internally hyperventilating, the boy was tired and just wanted to enjoy himself for once. He'd just been forced to capture a ghost, gotten turned to wood, and nearly died. Didn't he get some sort of break?

His gaze locked on a blonde girl walking around, frowning as if she were looking for someone, and a small smile appeared on his face despite the situation.

Don't worry. I'll definitely deal with this mess tomorrow. The Mystery Twins will get right on it, McGucket...but for now, I just want to be normal and enjoy a party.

*ugly screeching* Dipper, why the heck do you do this to me?! Don't blow him off! ...I never stop yelling at the boy whenever I watch this bit in the episode. (Also, Dipper, you act so surprised when Mabel is right. I bet she totally had a hunch that Pacifica's home life was the issue, you little buttface)
