Gravity's fallen

chatper 15 - former rivals

pacifica's uncle awoke and walked out to the kitchen to find a note on top of the counter.

*hey uncle, i left early today so i could meet up with an old friend, no need to worry about me* he read it and smiled.

"nice to know she's got more social" he said as he started making his morning coffee.

~~~

pacifica arrived on the school ground and in the distance saw dipper and mabel talking to someone. she didn't want to be rude and interrupt them so she just walked into the school building and went to her classes deciding to wait until lunch to talk to them.

she couldn't really focus for most of the day partially by the thoughts of dipper but she was still scared by her dream, bill can enter anyone's mind, what if that was him? what's her uncle hiding? why does he have so many similarities to bill? is that even her uncle? what's a pig?!?!??!

pacifica sat alone at a bench in the dining hall with her lunch.

just before she started eating she heard something from behind her.

"hey? mind if i sit here?''

She turned around to see Dipper, she smiled and patted next to her on the bench, he placed his food down and sat right next to her. All the girl could think was 'he's so close to me'. A slight blush appeared on her face as they both started to eat. Mabel is seen chatting to the girl from earlier, Gwen, and mid conversation looks across the room to find Dipper talking to someone.

"who's that blonde bimbo dipper's with?" Gwen turned her head to look at where Mabel was looking.

"oh yeah, she's new here, she's in some of my classes, her names penelope or something like that." She continued eating

Mabel brushed it off and finished eating just saying random nonsense to gwen in a very frantic way.

pacifica and dipper had finished eating and decided to go over to where mabel was, pacifica approached the table and the kitten lover was shocked to see her previous rival standing right in front of her, she was about to say something until pacifica spoke up.

"mabel, i wanna start this friendship over again, i'm sorry about everything back in gravity falls, can we be friends?" Pacifica's face seemed to become sad but Mabel's lit up.

"of course we can start this over, I forgive you, besides I can't really hold grudges" they both smiled as the bell rang signalling lunch was over.

they all parted ways and went to their classes.

The school day was over and pacifica started to walk home when she felt a tap on her shoulder, she turned around to see mabel with an ear to ear smile.

"hey pacifica, if you're free later i was wondering if you wanted to come over for a sleepover?" she said, pacifica smiled slightly.

"yeah I'd love to, I'll see you later then, sorry but i gotta get home" pacifica waved and started sprinting home.

yet again mabel had forgotten something and had to go back inside to something leaving dipper outside for an hour alone.

mabel finally came back out and they walked back home with an ominous shadow following them in a very familiar shape.
