Falling Gravity (Season 01)

RDL (5)

Pacifica couldn't believe what she witnessed. Wendy Wonder, in the town's aquarium, with Dipper Cipher, chatting and having fun. What was going on? Did she hallucinate that? No, she was sure she didn't. Gideon was the one that gasped and pointed at them when he saw the two together in the aquarium, if he saw that too, then she wasn't imagining things. The question is, why?

"That was something," Pacifica said.

"That was a big something!" Gideon exclaimed. "What was Tyrone doing with Wendy? Did she brainwash him or something?" he narrowed his eyes. "No, that's impossible, her magic may be stronger than mine, but his is stronger than both of ours combined!"

"Well, whatever got them there, didn't seem bad," Pacifica said. "But this is still odd."

"I agree!" Gideon said. "Tyrone knows she's insane."

"We all know she's insane, and weird," Pacifica said. "Her hair is a starter, it was already big on her usual Chinese style thing, now with it down and the bouffant? It's huge!" she added. "And honestly, I trust no one whose hair is bigger than their heads."

Gideon giggled. "Bouffants are weird," he said. "I tried it once, but I regretted it immediately."

Pacifica snorted. "Wait, you had a bouffant?"

"Yeah," Gideon put his index fingers together. "Don't laugh at me, please."

"I won't, sorry, I just—" Pacifica accidentally let out a laugh. "I can't, it's too weird to imagine."

Gideon pouted. "Meanie,"

Pacifica took a deep breath and exhaled. "Sorry, I'm sorry," she said. "You're adorable, never wear a bouffant again,"

Gideon smiled. "Okay!" he said. "Never thinking on doing so!"

Crack.

Pacifica whirled around.

What was that?

Gideon raised an eyebrow. "What?"

"I heard something," Pacifica said.

"Where?" Gideon turned to where she was looking at. "I heard nothing,"

"Could you," Pacifica made a circle with her finger around her collarbone, trying to resemble his amulet. "Do that?"

Gideon frowned, mouth slightly opened. "What?" he looked at her collarbone, then at his own. His eyes went wide. "Oh! Got it!" he grabbed his amulet with his blazer (the same one he used on Wendy's show; he liked it a lot, so he decided not to take it off, and even add a few fake jewels on it) and it lightly glowed with his eyes. He looked around, then let go of his amulet. "Hey, girl, you can stop hiding, we're not going to hurt you!" he said. Pacifica raised an eyebrow.

A black girl peeked at them, she slowly got out of hiding and waved at them. "H—Hi," she said. "Is Robbie here?" she asked. Pacifica shook her head as a response. She let out a relieved sigh. "Thank goodness,"

"Is he picking on you?" Gideon asked.

The girl slowly nod. Pacifica frowned. "What a jerk, picking on kids younger than him," she mumbled. "Um, hi, I'm Pacifica Corduroy, and you probably already know my brother?"

"I do," she said. "Well, we never talked, but we go to the same school, and—" she looked away. "I—I'm Lucy, nice to meet you,"

"Nice to meet you too, Lucy!" Gideon exclaimed. "Hey, how did we never see each other before? You said we go to the same school, were we in different classes? I don't usually talk to people from other classes, you know, class rivalry," he giggled. "If that's the case, then I'm sorry! But hopefully, next year, we'll go to the same class!"
