Falling Gravity (Season 01)

RDL (9)

Just stopped by to say, this is probably going to be one of the longest chapters of the first Season. I have a lot of ideas, but I don't know how many words this is going to take because I put them down as I speak. So yeah, enjoy!

Warning: brief mentions of sexism.

Pacifica woke up, blinking her eyes and sitting down. She stretched her arms and yawned, then rubbed her eyes and turned to get off the bed.

"Ow!"

She looked down. Her foot had accidentally hit Lucy, who was sleeping on a mattress on the floor, next to her bed. She coiled back with a nervous look on her face. "Eh— S—Sorry Lucy!"

Lucy rubbed her eyes and sat down. "It's okay," she muttered. "What time is it?"

Pacifica shrugged. Tiffany yawned and sat down, turning her head to Tiffany and Pacifica. "Good morning, girls," she said with a smile.

"Morning, Tiff" Pacifica said.

"Good morning, Tiff," Lucy said.

Tiffany looked at her other side — where Gideon's bed was — with a confused look. "Wait," she turned to Pacifica. "Where's Gideon and Dipper?"

"I honestly don't know," Pacifica replied. "Maybe they're downstairs?"

Tiffany stood up and smoothed her pyjama. "Does your mom or dad do breakfast? Man, I'm really up for good waffles, or just bacon and eggs," she said. "It's been days since I ate something good for breakfast!"

Lucy stood up and put on her shoes. Pacifica hopped down the bed. "Mom is the one that cooks," she said. "Dad doesn't make food for us,"

Lucy frowned towards her. "Why?"

"Gideon said he asked her that too, because he doesn't remember seeing his father cook once, her response was something like 'Your dad in the kitchen is the same thing as opening the cages of the zoo, a total disaster.' " Pacifica replied.

Tiffany and Lucy looked shocked. Tiffany couldn't help but giggle. Lucy just smiled, feeling pity but also finding the situation funny. Pacifica smiled at them. "Well, let's go downstairs," she said, turning the doorknob and opening the door.

The three left the room and went downstairs. Just like Pacifica expected, Gideon and Dipper were already there, accompanied by Bud and Mrs. Corduroy at the kitchen table. Gideon was washing a few dishes with a smile on his face, the table had only three plates — for Pacifica, Tiffany and Lucy, Pacifica assumed — and chatter filled the room. Dipper noticed the three approaching and waved at them.

"Good morning, Llama! Morning Tiffany and Lucy,"

"Good morning, Dipper," Tiffany and Lucy said at the same time.

"Hi, Dipper," Pacifica said, waving back. "Good morning, everyone,"

"Good morning!" Gideon exclaimed from the sink.

"Good morning, my daughter," Mrs. Corduroy said.

"Good morning, sleeping beauties!" Bud said, then laughed. "I'm just kidding, come sit with us, you three!"

The girls sat down at the table. Dipper pulled Pacifica's plate to her front — since he was sitting on the chair next to her — and put his elbow on the table, with his head resting on it. "Kept your plate safe from flies," he turned to Gideon. "And from your brother eating it,"

Gideon pouted at him. "I wasn't going to eat it! I just wanted a little bite, there's more anyways," he looked at Pacifica. "Or is that a problem? I'll stop! I swear! And never do it again!"
