15 Years

Pacifica

Pacifica Northwest walked into her two bedroom apartment throwing her jacket and purse down on the coffee table as she went face first into the couch. She slid her heels off with one foot then the other letting a loud moan escape her. Today had been an extremely long and hard one. Her boss had given her a mountain of paper work to get done before the end of the day and she ended up having to skip lunch to finish it. She hated her job but it paid pretty well so she had to suck it up.

To remind her of her hunger Pacifica's stomach growled loudly. She sighed as she sat up and walked to the kitchen. She rummaged through her cabinets until she found some ramen noodles.

"Yes! One left!" Pacific could afford better food then this but she loved roman noodles and kept some around when she was craving them. She discovered ramen when she went to college. Her parents had pretty much disowned her by then so she could only rely on herself. Luckily she had passed all her classes with flying colors in high school so she had a scholarship. It helped her finish college and move onto getting a job so she could support herself. All with out her parents. They had disappeared after she finished college. All she got was a note saying Have a Great Life. After the battle with Bill she had hopped loosing everything her father would see the world differently and that it wasn't all about money. But sadly he got an amazing job and became ten times more rich. That's when she missed the twins the most.

It's been 15 years since she first met Dipper and Mabel. They started out as enemies, they were HER enemies anyways, but by the end of the summer they were probably her closest friends. They taught her what true friendship was and how she should treat others. They fought for and protected Gravity Falls together from Bill. She was sad when the two of them left. She had hopped they would see each other the next summer but sadly they never came back. When she tried to figure out what had happened to them by asking Zoos. He told her they wouldn't be returning anytime soon and wouldn't even tell her why. She was devastated and now alone. All her old friends had moved on and out of Gravity Falls. She didn't have anyone till she went off to college and moved in with her cousin Beth.

Beth became Pacifica's best friend and they did everything together. Even to this day they still texted once in awhile letting each other know what was going on in their life's. Beth now had two beautiful 8 year old twins named Davy and Lizzy. The last time Pacifica saw them was at the beach. Beth had invited her to join their family trip but really just needed an extra eye to watch the kids.

Pacifica sat down on the couch with the bowl of ramen in her lap. Before she started to eat she looked around her living room and sighed. It wasn't a mansion but it was home and she had earned it. Her life may have not been easy but it was worth it. Everything was going her way now. She started to eat and noticed the mail on the coffee table. She had thrown them there when she walked in earlier. With her mouth full of ramen she sat the bowl down and reached for the bundle.

"Bill. Bill. Bill.... what's this?" She threw the other envelopes down and looked at one that had some important looking stamps on it. She opened it and grabbed her bowl again as she read the letter out loud.

"Dear Ms. Pacifica Northwest. We regret to inform you that your cousin Beth Northwest has past away due to a car accident....." All that was heard was a bowl smashing against the floor.
