Dipper's POV
Me and Pacifica burst into the gift shop of the mystery shack. Grunkle Stan turned his head as we try to catch our breath, 'Woah what the heck happened to you two?' he asks while leaning over the counter, I run over to him as Pacifica follows behind me, 'GRUNKLE STAN! MA- MAB-' God, I'm so nervous I am, I'm barely able to speak 'Woah woah kid slow down and where's your sister?'
'That's what I'm trying to say! Sh- she-'
'SHE WAS TAKEN!!!' Pacifica interrupted and blurted out, I nodded to confirm what she said 'Wait what?!' Grunkle Stan asked in shock
'Yeah, we were-' I pause remembering I 'promised' Stan I wouldn't use my journal to go 'looking for trouble' 'having a picnic in the woods and-'
'Wait bu-' Pacifica intervened as I slapped my hand over her mouth and spoke through a fake smile and gritted teeth 'Pacifica we don't need two storytellers and I remember everything just fine,' I removed my hand from her mouth and she shot me a confused look, as did Stan, 'anyway after we had eaten all the food we tried to make our way back, but we sort of got lost and kept wandering around in circles, then we heard some voices from the town and as we got closer we noticed it was Gideon and a bunch of other escaped prisoners a-'
'Gideon's out of jail now?!'
'Yes he is Gtunkle Stan, anyway as I was saying, and they were standing in front of all the kneeling citizens, even Mayor Befufftlefumpter was kneeling, we tried to come back here without getting caught, but someone couldn't do that.' I finish angrily looking at Pacifica, call me a jerk, but this girl constantly humiliates my sister, is rude to her for no reason and always goes out of her way to ruin her day and out of nowhere she wants to befriend Mabel? I don't buy it, and to top it all off, her carelessness got Mabel caught.

'Oh you can't seriously be blaming all that on me, we were trying to escape a scary situation, do you really think I'd be looking at my steps?' She argued, which made my blood boil 'Normally when someone is trying to quietly escape somewhere/something/someone they pay attention to where they're stepping so they don't make loud noises and get caught!' I yelled back, she just glared at me and I glared back 'ahem,' Grunkle Stan cleared his throat to draw our attention to him 'So kid what happened to your sister?' He asked with worry visible in his eyes, 'Well since this Pre Madonna couldn't be quiet and watch where she was going, she ended up stepping on a twig which was enough to attract the attention of the escaped convicts, and Mabel being the nice person she is, pushed us out of the way just in time, so we wouldn't get caught and ended up getting taken by them.' I finished, Grunkle Stan visibly starting burning with anger 'THAT LITTLE PUNK!!'
he stormed out and me and Pacifica followed him, he grabbed his bat and started storming out 'THIS IS GONNA STOP RIGHT NOW!' He screamed, 'Stan stop! We need to come up with a plan!' I yelled trying to catch up with him before he did anything dash 'We can't every minute we spend here, Mabel is still stuck there!'
'But if we turn up like this and get captured then who'll save Mabel?!' Pacifica yelled, which Made Grunkle Stan stop in his tracks and turn around, 'Well I- I never thought of that,'
Wow, had she managed to convince Stan? Stan was convinced by Pacifica? Woah, I still don't trust her, but that was impressive.

We all walked back to the Shack and Soos came down and helped us try to think of a plan to rescue Mabel, we explained everything to him and he was devastated, but he still tried his best to come up with ideas to help save her, even if his ideas were... questionable. I noticed Pacifica didn't look too happy so after a long couple hours and minutes of no luck with a plan I spoke to her about it. We walked up to mine and Mabel's room and started talking, 'What's up with you?' I asked her
'What do you think?!' She sassed me 'Mabel's gone right after I start to patch things up with her,' I rolled my eyes does she really expect me to believe she cares, 'Please, don't start caring now, you already humiliated her enough this Summer,' Pacifica's face twisted with anger as she clenched her fists 'Seriously?! you think I wanna be like this? I'm only this mean cos of my stupid parents I was jealous she could be herself and have fun while if ever did something I wanted to do my parents would started treating me like- like doo doo, it's miserable!'
Woah I wasn't expecting that, I started to feel guilty, I guess people can change, I quickly apologised 'I'm sorry, I- I want thinking straight,'
'It's okay, I get it, I haven't been so nice to you or Mabel, I wouldn't trust me either,'
'But why do you randomly want to be friends with Mabel?' Her face turned red and she looked down, 'Well... I don't understand what it is, but after we played golf together I couldn't stop thinking about her and I started hanging out with her to see what I was so interested in and I guess I just wanted to keep spending time with her, I enjoyed it.' Ohh so that's what it was, I'm not sure Pacifica has noticed yet, but 'I'm not sure the reason was friendship,' I stated, she turned to me as a look of confusion spread across her features 'What do you mean?'
'I mean, by the way you're blushing, constantly wanting to spend time with her, and reminiscing about events you shared together, I'm not expert Pacifica Northwest, but by the looks of it, let's just say what you're feeling is more than just friendship.'
Her face went red and she hid her face in her hands, 'That's it isn't it, I like her.'
