Chapter 3: A night to remember

A few days of boredom later, Gideon and Pacifica went to check the mail, and found a golden envelope. Odd,  Gideon thought.

"Uncle Bud! You got a fancy looking envelope in the mail." Gideon said handing the letter to Bud, who was drinking coffee.

"It says here, you two are invited to some shindig at the Gleeful Manor."

"Why would we be invited to their place for a party isn't it for fancy folk only?" Gideon asked confused.

"Maybe it was a mistake?" Pacifica suggested.

"So we agree we shouldn't go." Gideon said sounding relieved.

"Oh no we are going. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity." She replied as the joy in his face dropped. "When is it?"

"Tomorrow night. Gates open a six." Bud replied reading the invite.

"I need to make our outfits!" Pacifica said getting out her sowing kit.

"Um Paz that is really unnecessary."

"Oh but I want to, come on just give me a chance. I know last time I put three arm holes but that was years ago I'm much better now." Pacifica pouted.

"Fine." Gideon said after a while.

And with that she ran up to her room, she worked all night until she was finish with her dress. (After several slip ups.) and realized that she had forgotten to make Gideon's. Great, she thought, I told him I would make it and I forgot about it.

"Do you have my suit ready?" Gideon said through the door.

"Um well you see I have a little problem."

"Paz you didn't hot glue your foot to the ceiling, did you?"

"No! Well at least not this time."

"Then what?"

"Um I may or may not have forgotten to make your suit. Please don't be mad." She said to Gideon, who didn't appear to care whatsoever.

"It's cool. I'll probably just wear my normal clothes."

"Oh good you're not mad." She said relieved.

"Why would I be we are friends?"

"I knew you'd understand!" She said opening the door and hugging him.

The truth was Gideon had a huge crush on Pacifica, but would never tell because she thought of them as just friends. So this hug was a huge deal for him.

"We better start getting ready. It's 4:00." Gideon said.

"Alright."

When Gideon left, Pacifica changed into the teal and neon pink dress she made and put her hair up into her usual high ponytail. Gideon basically brushed his teeth and said he was done. And then they headed to the Gleeful Manor, with Deuce chauffeuring them on the golf cart.
As they walked in they saw a lot of fancy people sipping tea and dancing.

"Yep our invites were definitely a mistake." Gideon said looking around.

When Pacifica finally laid eyes on one of the twins, Mabel, she grabbed Gideon's wrist and practically dragged him over to her.

"See she's not a murderer." Pacifica whispered in his ear.

"What do you want?" Mabel said grimly.

"Oh well I'm Pacifica and this is Gideon. We love your show."

"Neon girl?" She gasped, "is that what your wearing? I told Dipper not to invite you slobs."

"So we are supposed to be here?" Pacifica asked.
