Complicated

Chapter 4: Shopping!

Dipper's POV

I wake up to screaming coming from downstairs. It was just Pacifica and Mabel having some girl fight, or whatever.

"Ugh!" I moaned while covering my head with a pillow. I wasn't really interested in the whole thing. It was probably something stupid about clothes.

"DIPPER! DIPPER! DIPPER!" Mabel called from downstairs. There is still no way I'm getting into this.

"COME HERE! I HAVE TO SHOW YOU SOMETHI-" She was cut of by something holding her mouth.

"DON'T LISTEN TO HER, DIPPER! JUST STAY UPSTAIRS!" Pacifica warned. "Ew did you just lick my hand?" She asked, disgusted.

"Ha ha ha!" Mabel laughed while running upstairs into our room. "Look, Dipper, look!"

I wasn't able to make out what the picture was because Pacifica ripped it out of Mabel's hand and shoved it in her mouth.

"Wait, what?" I asked, completely confused.

"Nothing," Pacifica said firmly. "I'm going to kill you Mabel!" She yelled leaping for her.

"Woah, woah! Calm down," I said while holding them back from each other.

"Yeah, Pacifica, calm down," Mabel mocked.

"Ugh, whatever. I'm going to the mall," she said annoyed. "C'mon," she stated while pulling me with her.

"Huh?" I asked.

"No fair!" Mabel pouted. "I wanna go shopping. Oh, I'll bring Candy, Grenda and Wendy, too!"

"Fine, we can all go. But I'm still mad at you," she said pointing at Mabel.

"Oh come on! I didn't even do anything!" She said innocently.

I guess I'm going to the mall.

~~~

"Why did you have to make me come?" I groaned. I. Hate. Shopping.

"I know why," Mabel said slyly.

"What does that mean?" I asked.

"Nothing!" Wendy cut in.

"Yeah, nothing. Right Mabel?" Pacifica asked.

"Right, 'nothing,'" Mabel answered with a wink. Whatever.

"Hey, lets go in there!" Pacifica commanded, pulling me with her as everyone followed.

"C'mon! Let's go somewhere else!" I pleaded but my cries went deaf to there ears.

"Here Dipping Sauce, go try on these clothes," Mabel didn't even give me the chance to protest before she pushed me into the dressing room.

I can hear everyone outside talking, "Yay! Let's have a Dipper fashion show!" Everyone cheered.

"I can't wait to see this," Candy said dreamily.
I kind of always knew she had a crush on me but I never wanted to tell her. I didn't want to hurt her feelings. Gosh, why are girls so confusing?

After like two hours of trying on clothes, I finally convinced them to go to the food court. The mall is so boring. And I always feel like girls are staring at me. That feeling has been going on since we got back to Gravity Falls. It's pretty weird, I never liked a lot of attention.

"Hey, what's you're name?" A pretty girl came up to me and asked.

"Um... my name's Dipper Pines," I said awkwardly. It was awkward because the girls were all watching me.

"Why haven't I seen you before? Surely I'd remember a pretty face like that." Wait, was she flirting with me?!

"Oh, I...um haven't been here in a few years and I only stayed for the summer," I responded as uninterested as possible.

"Well, here's my number, you should give me a call sometime, "she said while handing me a piece of paper.

"Um...okay." We waved bye to each other and I turned to the girls. "That was weird."

"Are you gonna call her?" Wendy spit out.

"Uh I don't know. Probably not. She's not really my type." I could have sworn I saw them let out a sigh of relief, but maybe that was just me.

"You have a type?" Mabel asked shockingly. I just rolled my eyes at her.

"Come on, let's eat," I suggested.

While we were eating Candy said something kind of strange.

"So...why don't you want to go out with that girl?" She asked, oddly interested.

"Um...I don't know. I guess I'm not really looking for a girlfriend right now. Can we stop talking about this, it's embarrassing?" I begged.

"Yeah, I agree, Dipper. I'm not really looking for a boyfriend right now either," Pacifica butted in.

"What?!" Wendy said shocked

"Yeah what the heck Pacifica? You know you want a boyfriend and you want it to be Dipper! Do you know why?! It's because your in love with him!" Candy yelled out of anger. Wait, what are they talking about.

"Yeah, really Pacifica? That's so uncool," Wendy said.

"Like you have any room to talk! You're in love with him just as much as Pacifica is!" Candy yelled once again.

"Guess the cat's out of the bag now," Mabel laughed.

"What?!" Was the only thing I could mutter.
They looked shocked, almost as if they forgot that I was sitting right there.

"I-I gotta g-go," Pacifica mumbled while blushing. So did Wendy.

Candy and Grenda decided to leave too because it was too weird. I don't blame them.

"They've liked me this whole time?" I asked Mabel, still surprised.

"Yeah, they were just too embarrassed to tell you."

"Th-that's crazy," I spit out. "There is no way all three of them have a crush on me."

"Well, which one?"

"Huh?" I asked, not fully understanding the question.

"Who do you want to go out with?" She asked once more.

"You can't tell anyone," I warned.

I kind of already knew my answer, but how could I break it to the other two. This is the one question I never wanted to answer, but I couldn't avoid it forever.

"...Pacifica."
