Pacifica POV

I was in town, on a run for Uncle Bud. He was having Gideon and I going on these runs for him. I was more thinking it was because he was very lazy to even leave the house. Of course we couldn't  argue with him. So I had to go to Mr. Tucker to get the boxes of candy for the shop. I was riding my bike through town, to downtown to be exact. I was listening to my music as I was riding through town. The nice 90's music, better than the popular ones today.

I drove up to where Mr. Tucker was. I removed the ear buds and turned off the music and jam it into my pocket as I walked over to him. Mr. Tucker smiled, "Morning my blondie friend."

I smiled back, "You too Mr. Tucker."

"Paz, I told you to call me Tuck." Tuck chuckled.

I nod, "Okay...Tuck."

"I like your shirt. My sister used to love that style." Tuck smiled, "I really do enjoy how you bring the past back. It makes me remember the good old days."

"What happened to those?"

"I grew up."

"You don't need to let being an adult to ruin that."

Tuck shrugged, "Just how it happens. Anyways, here are the two boxes of the candy your uncle wants." He sets it down on the back of my bike and strapped it in for me. I smiled, "Thanks Tuck."

Tuck then messed with my hair, "Of course my little blondie friend." I jerk away from hand, chuckling. "Well I got to go and make more deliveries. Be careful of the streets Paz."

"I will." I replied as I got on my bike again. I then plug in my ear bugs and started to play the music again. After finishing the song, it started to play my favorite song, Carry on Wayward Son. I started to hum to it, jamming to it.

I stopped at a corner and look up and down the street to see if cars were coming. I saw no cars coming so I started to cross the road. When I was In the middle of the street, I saw a truck in the corner of my eye racing down the road. I turn completely and saw it was just about to hit me and there was nothing I could do. The care was moving too fast and didn't seem to really notice me, for the driver was looking on their phone. I screamed out and I shut my eyes, waiting for the hit. Strangely all I got was a hard nudge that knocked me off my bike and to the ground but that was it. Didn't think that being hit in the car would be so painless like this.

I opened my eyes to see what happened and saw that I was still in the middle of the road, now on the ground, but the car wasn't on the road. I gasp out as I notice the car floating up in the air, wheels still going and engine running, like they were still racing down the road.

I removed my ear buds, "Wh-What the?"

"Can't stay out of trouble, eh?"

I turn my head and could see Dipper Gleeful there, stone around his neck and eyes glowing.

Then Dipper helped me up to my feet.

"What are you doing here?" I asked.

"Just taking a walk. Why do you ask that every time you see me? This isn't just your town."

"Right...well Thanks...again."

"No worries."

Then the truck went over our heads and landed on the ground and it just drove off.

"Wonder who that was?" I muttered.

Dipper shrugged simply, "A moron." I then bent down and picked up my bike, "Well, I better get going. The candy will melt and Uncle Bud would kill me!"

"Mind if I walk with you?"

I was surprise, "Y-You want to walk with me?"

"Just in case you get into another accident. You seem to have a habit of getting yourself into trouble. "

"I think I can manage."

Then at the corner of my eye I saw Grenda, Candy, the other two girls and Mabel. "Oh great." I muttered.

Dipper looks to where I was looking.

"Ah...Actually...Maybe a walk would be fine." I replied quickly.

"Good thing I know how to get away from my sister and her friends." Dipper replied as he grabbed my arm and we went down the street and luckily the jerks didn't see us.

"That was close. I don't run into them again. Don't you think Mabel would have let the whole Gideon thing go?"

"Nope." Dipper replied simply.

"Gee thanks."

Dipper shrugs, "Just how she is."

"Is there anything you can do?"

Dipper shrugged again but didn't say anything.

"you sure don't talk much, especially when it has to deal with you."

Dipper shrugged again.

"Well tell me, where did you and Mabel get the stones?"

"We just found them and the powers. Thought it would be fun to have."

I looked at him, "fun? I thought you didn't know what fun is."

"I know how to have fun."

"Reading books all day, taking walks, and just sitting around isn't fun."

Dipper raise his eyebrow. I chuckled, "There is way better ways in having fun! You got to have real fun! Loosen up!"

"I don't have time to loosen up..."

"You have time because you are walking with me."

Dipper's jaw tighten. 

I chuckled at his reaction, "I got you there." Then we made it back to the house. I then faced Dipper, "Thank you for helping out and walking with me, Dipper."

He gave a small nod, "No problem."

I tilted my head, "When are you ever going to smile?"

"Huh?"

"You got to smile. That is the first step of having fun."

"When did we decide that I need fun lessons?"

"Just trust me."

I then took a step forward and I reach out to Dipper's mouth, taking the corners of it, and tried to make him smile. Dipper jerked away and slap my hands away, "Don't." I gave a small chuckled, "I'll get there someday."

Dipper rolled his eyes, "Doesn't matter, I need to get going anyways."

Then he started to leave,  so I called out to him, "Hey, Dipper."

He stops and turns around, "Yes?"

"Can you try to talk to Mabel about not hating me?"

He sighed, "I'll try but she's a stubborn mind to change and she doesn't listen to me that much."

"Thank you for at least trying for me."

Then Dipper walked off without another word. I skipped up to the front, taking the boxes out, and headed inside the shack.

Dipper POV

I was going through journal 2 in the office and Mabel came in after a while, "There you are! I've been looking for you for most of the day!"

"Why?" I asked.

Mabel came around the chair, "We got a show to plan!"

I sigh, "Why do we plan? We just do things..."

"Because we need to pick up tricks that will rot someone. I was thinking that we can do the clone switch."

"Clone switch? We haven't done that for weeks."

"Another reason to do it. The trick never gets old and its fine to kill someone on stage but nobody knows because a clone is copied to take their life!"

"Okay. We can do it then..."

Mabel places her hands on her hips, "Something is up. What is it?"

"Nothing is up."

"Huh uh. You are not as focus." Then Mabel jerked the journal 2 down, "You aren't even reading the journal. You are just staring into it. You are thinking of something."

"None of your concern, Mabel."

"Well it is. If you are not in the game...then there is no show. I wish I could read your mind to find out what you are thinking about."

"But you can't. Then you don't need to worry about it."

Mabel came in front of me, examining me, "Hmmm." Then she started to walk away. "Oh, Mabel." I called out for her. She turns around, "What?"

"What do you think of Pacifica?"

"The blond girl that I want to skin?"

"Do you really want to skin her?"

"Of course! Sure she helped save Gideon but that is her cousin and only cared about him. She still took him away from me. Gideon won't see me and it's all her fault!" Then she folds her arms and darken her glare, "Why do you ask about Pacifica?"

I shrugged, "Just because."

"Just because why?"

"Because you haven't talked about her lately. I just wanted to know if you still hated her."

"I hate her with all my heart."

"Is there room?"

Mabel growled, "And you might be on the list."

Then Mabel came and grabs the journal from my lap, "You end up looking at this page? This page is part of the portal Ford hid and nobody could find it."

"It's been 30 years. It would be lucky if anyone finds it." I replied as I reach for my journal but Mabel kept it away from me, "Mabel, give it back! Don't need to be such a jerk!"

Mabel was going through the pages, "Did you know that there is a great secret at the Mystery Shack."

"Huh?"

Mabel flipped the book to face me and it was on this one page with random numbers, "That is the longitude and Latitude of the Mystery Shack that the Pines own."

"How would you know that?" I questioned then I sighed and shook my head, "Never mind about that."

"Ford was using the Mystery Shack! That is where the portal is!" Mabel gasp out.

"But we can't use the bloody portal without bloody journal 3 that nobody has found!" I snapped. That blasted journal 3 has always been a pain. Stan have been looking for it for 30 years and nothing. Only finding journal 2.

Mabel groan, "Oh yes...Plus Gideon won't let me get near the house because of that blasted Pacifica girl."

"Bud isn't such a friendly face either."

"Why can't that demon find it?" Mabel growled.

"Something is blocking him, you know Ford...had to protect the journal from everything..."

"That weak useless demon."

Then Mabel looked in the book, "Then what do we do?" 

I rub my temples, "I don't know, sister. We just got this new information and we can't get it." Mabel closed the book, came and sat at the arm of the chair and warps her arm around my shoulders, "Who says we can't get it?"

I raise my head as Mabel snickered darkly, "Ah! Got your attention now. We can just take it."

"The city wouldn't allow it. That is too far from the line, even for us." I pointed out.

"Dipper! We get away with everything!"

"Yeah but not this if we do it so suddenly."

Mabel's lips curled, "Oh! I see where you are coming from. We got to look like it was given to us."

I nod my head, "The city wouldn't know what got them."

Mabel giggled and got excited, "Oh this is going to be fun!"

I then shove her away from me, "Glad you are. Now we got a show to do."

"No, brother, we got a murder to do." She snickered. Then she linked arms with me and we headed out with dark grins.
