After eating ice cream they visited the lake.
„The iland there looks creepy.", Helga said, „It's covered in dust and clouds."
„The brochure Dipper gave me says, that it is haunted.", Arnold said. „And we should avoid it."
„I believe that!", Helga said. „Seems worse than our cemetery."
„And where are we going next?", Arnold asked.
„I don't know!", Helga answered, „This town is boring!"
Helga looked behind Arnold, directly to the lake.
„Ar...ar...ar...nold...there...there...there…", she stuttered.
Arnold turned around and said: „What? There is nothing!"
„I swear, there was a sea monster!", Helga answered and shuddered.
„I think you are hypoglycemic!", Arnold said, „Let's drive back to the Shack!"
„Hypo...what?", Helga shrieked.
„Low on blood sugar!", Arnold said and waged her to the car.
On the way to the Mystery Shack they were rammed right into the side by another car.
„Hey, i have the right of way!", Arnold shouted.
„Who do you think you are?", the accident perpetrator shouted back. „I have ALWAYS priority!"
„Hey Arnold, that's the person which almost run us down with her car!", Helga said.
„Only because you are rich does'nt mean you can do what you want!", Arnold warned Priscilla Northwest.
„Oh yes, i CAN!", she answered.
„First you should learn how to drive!", Arnold shouted.
„I don't need to!", she answered, „I can do EVERYTHING from birth on!"
Arnold could not believe, what he heard.
„Come Helga, that's pointless, let's just drive away!", he said and they drove away.
Priscilla bitched something after them and rised a fist, but they did not care anymore.
„Am i rubbing too much off on you?", Helga asked. „Normally you would have settled the situation!"
„Helga, it's pointless to argue with people like her! She is living in her own dreamworld!", Arnold answered.
„I think you're right!", she said, „It really seems so!"
A few minuted later Helga asked: „Where are you driving to? That's not the way we were coming from!"
„To the diner.", Arnold answered.
„WHAT? Eating again?", Helga screeched.
„After this incedent i need a coffee!", Arnold said.
„Oh...okay!", Helga said relieved.
Inside the diner they were immediately greeted by Pacifica with a smile.
„Hello! How was your night?", she asked.
„Thanks. I could really sleep well in your bed!", Helga answered.
„Could you serve me a coffee, please?!", Arnold asked.
„Of course!", Pacifica answered, „Verything okay? You're looking pale!"
„We had a little crash!", he said.
„WHAT?", Pacifica shrieked, „Are you hurt?"
„No, we are unscathed, thanks!", Arnold smiled.
„How could that happen?", she asked and filled a cup with coffee.
„Your biological mother rammed right into our side! But not even the airbag was triggered, so everything's okay!", Helga said.
„Great!", Pacifica said sarcastically. „And like i know her, she did not admit her fault, right!?"
„Exactly!", Helga answered.
Pacifica gave Arnold the cup and asked: „Did you know, that she has no driving licence?!"
„WHAT? And she is driving, anyway?!", Arnold asked and almost choked.
„Back then she always had someone to drive her. But after the divorse it's too expensive for her and she have to drive by herself.", Pacifica explained.
„And this old bag can go away with it!", Helga groused.
„Helga, please!", Arnold said in disgust.
„What? It's true!", Helha pouted, „We have a battered fender and she can still drive like a maniac!"
Arnold sighed: „Yes, you're right, darling, but we have to put up with it now!"
„I wish i could help you…", Pacifica said, „...but she would not even talk to ME without getting mad!"
„It's okay, thank you!", Arnold said, „We don't want to suck you into something!"
„Don't worry, i have undergone a lot of shit! That made me hard-bitten!, Pacifica said. „And better my ex-mom as my ex-dad with that damn bell!"
„Right...that's the reason you don't have a bell at the door here!", Helga said.
„Yes!", Pacifica answered, „I still feel pain hearing a bell ring!"
„You can really be glad to have escaped that toxic home!", Helga said, „I can feel your pain!"
„Okay, but do not let us start that topic again!", Pacifica said, „But i am also glad for YOU, that YOUR life seems better as back then."
„Yes, thanks to Arnold!", Helga smiled.
„Same here, thanks to Dipper!", Pacifica answered and laughed happily.
„And I am happy for BOTH of you!", Arnold added. „Uhm...is here something interesting in this town? Our holiday just started."
„Uhm...not THAT much!", Pacifica answered.
„Why?", Arnold asked.
„Well...this town is not...uhh...not really...normal!", she answered, „And dangerous!"
„Dangerous?", Helga shouted.
„Come on Helga, you're tough!", Arnold said.
„Yes, but i don't have to run into danger on purpose!", she answered.
„Okay, you're right!", Arnold said.
„You know what?", Pacifica said, „Tomorrow i show you some places!"
„Don't you have to work?!", Arnold asked.
„It's MY diner and i have still people to help me out!", she answered.
„Okay, it's a deal then!", Arnold said and shook her hand.
