On The Other Side [SLOW UPDATES]

Chapter 5

Pacifica woke to the sound of choking. Assuming it was Gideon, she jumped out of bed and ran to the kitchen.

Much to her surprise, it was actually her Grunkle Ford. Mabel, Dipper, and Gideon were trembling in fear underneath the table. But no matter. He was still choking.

"Oh my gosh! Stanford! What's going on?"

The only reply was a series if coughs and hacks.

Pacifica took it upon herself to perform the Heimlich maneuver on her grandfather's brother's rapidly rising and dropping stomach. Just a few moments later, his breathing went back to normal, and out came... a plasctic dinosaur?

"Mabel! I told you not to give him Mabel Juice!" Dipper yelled at his twin sister.

"How was a supposed to know he was allergic to plastic?"

"Mabel, everyone is allergic to plastic!"

"Hey, what made you think that you had the right to feed my Great Uncle a T-rex?" Pacifica interrupted, not allowing them to continue their meanigless squabble.

"Actually, it's a brachiosaurus..." Dipper corrected her.

"Indominus Rex, T-Rex, no difference!"

"I said brachiosaurus.. ." Dipper muttered under his breath.

"Gideon, why didn't you stop them?"

"Um, well, I..."

Pacifica's face intensified.

"Um... Well... The dinosaur was blue."

"Really? That's your reason?"

"I like blue dinosaurs, okay! Don't judge me!"

Pacifica sighed, exhausted. "Whatever. It's over now, and no harm was done. I'll show you guys around, and then it's back to messed up Gravity Falls with you."

Dipper and Mabel pouted and sat up on the kitchen table. Grunkle Stan got up and stayed cooking hairless pancakes. A few moments later, the vending machine flew open and someone looking like Mabel and Dipper's Grunkle Stan rushed in. "What's going on? I heard choking, was it a Venusian Screed? Everyone evacuate!"

"Calm down Stan, it was just me. These kids were having fun with the blender. Want a pancake?" Ford started putting the finished pancakes on each of the plates.

Stan stuck a finger out and slowly counted the number of 'kids'. "...three...four... Four. Okay."

He sat down and began eating. Pacifica stuck out one finger, then two, then three. On the third finger, Stan jumped up and screamed "OH MY GOD! There's four children!"

"Yeah. There are." Dipper said crossing his arms and looking heavily annoyed.

Stan pulled a dollar out if his pocket and held it agaisnt his forehead. "Since when have you been having babies, Ford?"

"What? No! These children just.. Uh... You tell him!" Ford stammered and nearly burned himself.

Pacifica sighed. "They came from another dimension through the mirror in the attic. They're Mabel and Dipper Pines."

"What?" Ford shrieked, his voice barely a squeak.

"But they're good, apparently. I'll get them out though. They just want a look around."

"Hey!" Mabel said.

"And make friends with them." Pacifica forced out. It sounded rehearsed, and Dipper wondered how long Mabel had been stuffing the line into Pacifica's mind. In the back of his head, he started to wonder what went on in Pacifica's gorgeous head but immediately pushed the thought away.

Stan took his hand off his forehead, the dollar bill pasted to his palm with sweat. "Then what are you waiting for? Get moving!"

"Okay, okay! Just let me change, and we'll be off." Pacifica got up, leaving her empty plate behind.

"Follow me, guys, I wanna show you some hilarious footage from the Shack's video camera!" Gideon motioned to the twins and ran (more like waddled) into Ford's room. Mabel threw up her hands and yelled, "Yeah! Awkward moments!" and ran behind Gideon. "Hey, wait up, sis!" Dipper called after them, trying hopelessly to keep up.
