Chapter 6: Cause We'll Be Counting Stars
~ Y/n pov~
Well one word could describe this situation...awkward.
Dipper quickly let go of my hand.
Neither of us knew the answer to that question...
"Haha, just joking dudes, Stan needs me back at the shack, bye " Soos said and left.
"Ugh" Dipper and I turned around to see Mabel sitting up...
"Haha, hey Y/n, I had the most horrible nightmare that you were friends with Pacifica-" she said laughing,but she then stopped laughing and looked at the girl next to her,Pacifica Northwest...
"No...no, this can't be-"Mabel said, hyperventilating...
"Mabel...breath slower if you keep hyperventilating your gonna-" I started
She fainted...again.
"-Faint" Dipper and I concluded in unison.
Then Pacifica woke up, she took one looks at Mabel, stood up and said "Well...friends with the Pines family?" she spat...
Ok...This is definitely a side of Pacifica that I haven't seen before...
"Yeah...and I'm staying with them for the Summer " I concluded carefully.
"Oh" was All she said..."So the Pines family is the friend of your dad's?"
My mouth felt dry...very sensitive topic...
"Yeah...well that's what I heard " I said dryly.
She laughed and said out loud "Oh, so of course you have to be friends with them...you have to live with them...you would never be friends with them by choice " she said flipping her blond hair over her shoulder.
What the heck is wrong with this girl?
Out of the corner of my eye I saw Dipper clench his hand into a fist, then unclenched it...he was angry, I could tell...but he wasn't saying anything back to Pacifica, for my sake...because he said he could try to be friends with her because he would do anything for me...
He is so sweet...
Wait a second focus y/n.
I laughed bitterly, "no, actually they are my friends, true friends..., why wouldn't I want to be friends with them?"I shot back.
"Y/n, they run around with magical creatures...and monsters. duh, why would you want to be friends with them?"
"Maybe because I'm not scared to smudge my make up or if I break a nail...I like exciting adventures, and I'm not one for just sitting around waiting for everything to go my way, because wake up Pacifica, life doesn't work like that,I can't believe that I was ever friends with a snob like you",I snapped back, I was growing angry...I felt Dippers hand grasp mine again.
"Wait a second...y/n, if your friends with them, then you can't be friends with me...choose " she said crossing her arms and tapping her foot impatiently.
"Pacifica, don't make her choose, she can be friends with whoever she wants " Dipper said...warningly.
"Choose!"Pacifica snapped.
"I won't be mad...whoever you choose" Dipper whispered in my ear...
And it was in that one moment when I knew exactly who to choose...I squeezed Dippers hand and said "I choose the Pines twins"
Pacifica face contorted into one of disbelief mixed with rage, she raised her eyebrows " Oh, you pick them?!, fine...I don't need you as my friend!"she yelled
"Sooner or later, you will come to your senses...I'm going to give you one last chance, it's either me or them..."she said threateningly.
I stayed silent and raised my eyebrows " Didn't you hear me? I choose Dipper and Mabel" I repeated.
"You don't want me as an enemy " She replied.
"and vice versa" Mabel replied, finally awake and standing know the other side of me.
I couldn't stand this girl,however...I wasn't prepared for her next sentence...
"You choose them?, if official...you are crazier than that insane old idiotic fool FiddlefordMcgucket " she said, andthen walked away...not daring to look back.
I froze...'You are crazier than that insane old idiotic fool FiddlefordMcgucket', that last sentence kept echoing itself in my mind.
I felt like I could cry so much that I could fill twelve jugs of water...
I...I mean...I'm not as crazy as my dad...I'm not.
"Y/n?"Dipper and Mabel asked as I have just been looking at the dirt for like fifteen seconds...lost in thought.
I put on the best realistic fake smile and said, "It's getting late, let's head back to the shack " I said cheerfully...but I feel like I'm dying inside.
"Ok " Mabel Said cheerfully, linking arms with me and I had just noticed that Dipper wasn't holding my hand...not that I care or anything...
I felt like I had a ton of bricks on my shoulders, weighing me down..
We arrived at the shack and I saw Stan standing by my mom's car, and my mom was in the car...wait is she leaving?
she saw me and smiled I smiled back, Mabel started running, dragging me along with her..."Hi y/n, sorry, it doesn't look like I'll be staying, something urgent at work came up, but I'll pick you up at the end of summer , bye" she whispered, hugging me goodbye.
"Oh...ok, bye mom" I Whispered.
'crazier than that insane old fool FiddlefordMcgucket ' that sentence still fresh in my mind.
'oh...I almost forgot " she said...picking up a small package at her feet..."This is for you" she said handing me a package that was covered in my favourite colour wrapping paper
"Oh...Thanks mom " I replied, she smiled and said "Well I got to go, bye everyone" she said, then shut the door to her car, and drove away...
"Well...I'm tired, let's go to sleep!"Mabel announced pulling me to the attic,Dipper following us, and we climbed into our own individual beds and went to sleep...well almost..."Y/n, arn't you going to open the package from your mom?"Mabel asked.
" Oh, right, I totally forgot " I said grabbing my present that I put on the floor.
I carefully unwrapped it,and I saw a brown book..It had a lock on it so I couldn't open it up, then I saw that there was a necklace with a small key on it, suddenly I added up what it was "it's a diary " I said...I used the key and put it in the lock and turned it, inside was a little note:
'To my dearest daughter, here is a diary to help with your emotions, when your dad's name comes into a conversation, you may feel very unhappy or emotional, keep your thoughts in here...but keep it under lock and key...We don't want anyone to find out about your father right?
I love you, my precious darling daughter, be safe.
From: your mom'
It was short and sweet...I quickly looked the book with the key and put the key necklace around my neck and shoved the book underneath my pillow.
I looked at the leftover wrapping paper and picked it up and crumpled it "is their a dustbin I can throw this away in?"I asked, Mabel said "Toss it over here!"in a chirpy voice.
"Ok"I said and tossed it to her and then she tossed it in the trash can.
"Thanks Mabel, nice aim " I complimented.
"Pleasure, thanks, you should see what I can do with a grappling hook"
I looked at her, she had a grappling hook?
"OMC, you have a grappling hook?"
"Yip " she replied,then a question was asked where I almost burst out laughing.
"what does OMC stand for?"Mabel and Dipper asked.
"OMC, stands for Oh My Cat, it's an expression that I made up" I said smiling a huge smile even though still felt sad about when Pacifica mentioned my dad.
" ...cool I got to remember to use that expression " Dipper said thoughtfully.
"Yeah, totally " Mabel agreed.
Suddenly Dipper jumped out if bed and said "Oh my gosh!, guys it's nearly Midnight!"
"Geez Dipper, calm down, Gruncle Stan let's us stay up until whatever time we want, remember " Mabel said , obviously annoyed.
" No, according to uncle Fords calculations, A shooting start will shoot across the sky at exactly midnight and it's so big that the whole of Gravity Falls can see it..."He said.
"Isn't that the Meteor called 'Matilda's wish'?"I asked excitedly.
He stood next to me.
Dipper look taken aback that I knew that..."Yeah and it's said to pass through Gravity Falls-" Then I said at exact the same time in unison with Dipper "-Once in a century"
His eyes lit up,"Come outside and watch it with me, it'll be fun " He said.
I smiled "ok" and he grabbed my hand, pulling me out of bed and then he opened up a small Hatch in the ceiling,then a ladder came down from the hatch, he pulled me up due to his excitement.
~3rd person pov~
Dipper had already put down a blanket on the flat roof and he pulled y/n down next to him, they were both sitting on the blanket staring up at the stars...any second now...'Matilda's wish' shooting star would pass through the sky...y/n was super excited to see this shooting star...All thoughts of her father were pushed aside.
Dipper was extremely happy, he was slightly taken aback that she even knew what 'Matilda's wish' was...This girl wasn't like the others, she was unique, Dipper would admit that she was pretty, no . beautiful. no...Gorgeous, and he loved her...but he has only known her for a day...and he loves her for her personality...he had no idea that a gorgeous girl would be interested in stars.
"Are we even allowed on the roof?"y/n asked.
"Haha, yeah...Gruncle S-Stan let's us hang out h-here all the t-time"He stuttered nervously...Dipper would also admit that he isn't very good at talking to girls...well other than his sister...but in the woods he felt brave, determined, y/n makes him act differently...but that doesn't mean that he isn't nervous.
y/n looked at him and said "do you stutter often?"
" only when I'm nervous" replied.
y/n looked at him and squeezed his hand and asked "Why are you nervous Dipper?"
"Um...well, I'm not very good at talking to girls...well other than Mabel..."He said and then instantly regretted it...He thought that she would leave, he thought that she would be weirded out.
Instead she gave a light laugh..."Dude, your nervous of me?"
He looked down and he rubbed the back of his neck sheepishly and replied "I guess...In a way"
"Dude don't be nervous, I'm just a person, besides we are friends right?"
Dipper was taken aback by that statement he looked up and noticed her staring at the sky.
"of course we are friends" he stated.
She looked into his hazel-brown eyes and said " Ok, great, so promise me you'll try to stop stuttering whenever your around me, there's no reason to be nervous " she stated.
"I'll t-try"He replied and mentally cursed himself for stuttering yet again. Y/n just chuckled and replied "Well it's a working progress".
Y/n shivered and Dipper immediately noticed...he took off his Jacket and put it around y/n's shoulders,"Oh...um thanks Dipper " she replied, thankful that it was dark so he couldn't see her blushing. .
"it's a pleasure" he replied.
He looked up and said excitedly"There's the shooting star!" pointing up at the sky.
Y/n looked up and she would admit that it was beautiful...stunning even.
"Make a wish " Y/n and Dipper said at the same time...Y/n giggled while Dipper chuckled.
Y/N new exactly what to wish for, although it is impossible.
Y/n thought 'I wish my dad would gain back his memories and not be crazy any more'
And Dipper made a wish...'I wish that I can make y/n's wish come true'
They both didn't know what the other wished for...except for the invisible floating triangle floating in front of them were, they technically were not in the shack, so he could read their minds, but he couldn't throw a curse at them...and Bill wanted to throw a curse at Dipper really badly.
"What did you wish for?"Dipper asked.
Y/n laughed a cheerful laugh 'I can't tell you, otherwise it won't come true"
Dipper then Let his arm fall around y/n's shoulders "You don't have to be so darn mysterious, I do solve mysteries..."Dipper said thoughtfully.
Y/n just laughed and she then noticed that Dipper had his eyes closed, he was falling asleep, y/n leaned back and fell asleep, next to Dipper...and in front of a jealous Bill Cipher.
