The Promise We Made After Midnight (A reverse dipcifica story)

What am I going to do?

                                          ~Dippers Perspective~

"Dipper...I saw something...of you and Pacifica." Mabel says to me as she grabs my hand and squeezes it firmly. I looked at her shocked from her words and Will looked...sad? I mean, he looks like that all the time. I decided to ignore it.

"S-serious?" I say as she lets go of my hand. She nods slowly. I look down for a moment and take a deep breath and sigh.

"Lets deal with Mr. Bitch inside and we'll talk about it in my room." I say as I turn on my heal and open the gates. Of course, Great-Uncle Ford standing in the middle of the elegant room. He had his hands on his hips and tapping his foot.

He shot his look to Will and he speed walks out of the room...weird...this is probably going to get violent. His look went back to me and Mabel.

"So...where is it?" Ford asks picking invisible dirt from his nails.

"Where's what?"

"Don't play dumb with me Mason. You know exactly what I'm talking about." Ford says angry and annoyed slamming his fist on the table, making Mabel shiver.

"Mabel...please excuse you're brother and me for just a moment." Ford says never having his glare be removed from me.

"Yes Great-Uncle Ford." Mabel says as she exits into the hallway.

"I will not let this Pacifica girl tear you away with who you need to be Mason. You can't-"

"Can't love? Well, turns out I can! Guess what Stanford I am done being you're little puppet to get a shitty book. You lost it, go get it yourself then. I love her and she loves me. The old Dipper Gleeful is dead. I am not-"

"I had a feeling you'd say something like that. That's why I'll give you answers. About you and Pacifica, and you're...dreams." He says turning around and looking back at me with a devilish smirk.

"How did you-" I start to say in shock but he cuts me off again.

"Oh, don't act stupid Dipper. I know about you're dreams because I gave them to you. A fair warning you can say." He finally turns around fixing his glove.

"That's...impossible...It doesn't matter! I'll never do anything for you again! and you can't make me!" I say almost yelling at his blank expression. I finally turn around to go upstairs but I am stopped once I'm halfway. What he says makes my blood run cold.

"I'll kill her...and everyone you care about."

Suddenly, flashes of Rufinas, Gideon's, Mabel's, and Pacificas bodies that I saw in my dream flashed in my eyes. I felt tears form in my eyes with the reminder he gave me.

"Y-you wouldn't."

"But I would." He says suddenly appearing in front of me.

"I'm giving you a choice Mason. You're either with me or against me. If you're with me and agree to do what I demand, I won't harm a single hair on anyone you care about's head. But if you're against me...heh, well then you already know what will happen." Ford says with an evil chuckle.

I just stood there shocked about everything...Ford put those dreams in my head...He'll kill everyone I love If I don't do what he asks...what am I going to do? 

"You don't have to answer right away. I'll give you until 5:00 tomorrow. Sharp. I know you'll make the right decision Mason." Ford says evilly and with a cruel chuckle as he makes his way up the stairs. I look up to where he was but he was already gone.

I let the tears fall...I couldn't do this...but I also couldn't let him hurt anyone I love. I dashed up the stairs and ran into my room and slammed the door shut and locked it. I turn around and see Mabel already there waiting for me.

"Dipper...why are you crying? what happened?" She asks worriedly.

"What did you see Mabel? Tell me, I need to know now!" I say fastly as I grab her shoulders harshly and force her to look at me.

"I-I saw Ford threaten you and Pacifica of something. Then he took like a memory gun or something and shot you, me, and Pacifica with it. After that is a blur." She says with a serious face. I slowly let go of her shoulders and let my hands drop and I sit on the bed with Mabel beside me.

"So that's the game he's been playing this whole time." I say putting me face in my hands blinking back the tears that were threatening to fall.

"What do you mean? I'm confused Dipper."

"It all clicks Mabel! Ford was always the one that gave me those dreams of the future of the punishments of one of the choices I have to make! I knew Pacifica! He probably threatened us with something and erased our memories. He knew she was going to come back. And that's why he didn't do anything to stop me and Pacifica from getting close. He wanted all this to happen. We are all just pawns of his chess board. Don't you get it Mabel? It all makes sense now!" I say dashing from my bed having my hands on my head taking all the puzzle pieces and putting them together.

"I understand...but why? and how does this have to do with his secret plan? and the journal? that's the part we don't get yet." Mabel says pacing the room with me.

"I-I don't know! But he did...he said he would give me answers if I did as he said...and if I didn't he would hurt everyone I love. GOD DAMN IT! I'M SO CONFUSED ON WHAT I'M SUPPOSED TO DO!" I scream the last part falling to my knees and I letting the tears fall.

I hear Mable bend down in front of me and I felt her wrap her arms around me. I let the tears fall on her shoulder and she let them. She would rub my back every few seconds to comfort me.

"I remember when Pacifica did this for me after Gideon broke my heart. I will never tell her this but I do care about what happens between you guys. I guess like you, she grew on me. Just don't tell her that. It's funny to think of when she came to our show and you said you would use her and all...but looking at you now. God, its just hilarious to think about it." Mabel says with a chuckle.

"It is..." I say chuckling back.

After a couple more minutes of her hugging me, we finally get up and I snap my fingers and I have a pair of black sweatpants and a blue T-shirt and I slide in bed. Mabel comes over and puts the covers over me. She hasn't tucked me in since we were younger. Once she was done she looked at me and smiled...a smile I haven't seen in a long time.

"Good night dear-...Dipper." She says as she slowly walks out of my room, cutting the lights out before she left.

I turn on my side disappointed that I didn't have Pacifica beside me. My eyes fill up with tears again but I blinked them back. I wouldn't let myself feel weak. I wouldn't let Ford hurt anyone I loved. No one.

I sighed as I closed me eyes...because I made my decision on what I was going to do...

OOOOOOHHHHH!!! I WAS SO EXCITED TO WRITE THIS CHAPTER!! so, what do you think Dipper is going to do?  and I'm sorry if when Dipper was explaining what Ford was doing was a bit confusing. But, see you in the next chapter and remember, stay 'Gleeful' ;)
