@sourangelic   *   you— you ran away? what's wrong?  [ she frowns, opening the door wider for pacifica to enter. ]

@knittedmystery      mabel!    please.. i need your help.    [   a relieved sigh escaped past her trembled lips,      as she seemed out of breath from all the running.      her blonde hair was disheveled,    and tears stained her rosy cheeks.       ]        i..  ran.. away. 

@fearstreats      i have.    i just hate the smell,   so can you turn the other way?      

/   omg

/   they should work it out on the remix 

i can smell it.

@myvampyr      hair spray?    i don’t use that.   

perhaps the chemicals of your hair spray have gotten your head ?

@sourangelic   *   yeah..  i'm free.

@knittedmystery     yes, if you want..  are you free?  

@sourangelic   *   you..  really??

okay, cool.  *an awkward pause.*  I’ll talk to you later? 

@bearsfalls     yes,  friends.  that’s fine.   i’m glad we could have this conversation.  

i know,   i’m not blaming you either.   *he sighed deeply,  his cold gaze softened.*   look..  we can start over as friends.  if that’s fine with you?   i don’t want any bad blood between us either, paz.    we’re way too grown to be acting like that still..  

@fearstreats      i’m fine.   /just/ look the other way,  please.   

and ?  i'm shaking in my boots. 

@bloodlvers     he also told me, that he loves me.   

let's hope it sticks this time.

@sourangelic    *   it'll be worth the sugar rush.

@sweatercollect      [    perfectly shaped brows knitted before she nods.     ]        okay.    it sounds.. tasty?        but i better not get a sugar rush after this.   [    she joked,  light heartedly.    ]  

@sourangelic    *   confetti with vanilla icing!

*dipper tried to maintain his composure, but the tears that welled in his eyes betrayed his inner turmoil.    her turned away,    sitting on the edge of the bed,    his shoulders slumping as he finally let his guard down.*   and,  I can trust you?   *a single sentence was enough to make his voice crack with emotion,    his words filled with the pain of their shared history,     the wounds that had been inflicted on both sides.   he wiped a tear from his cheek with the back of his hand that had escaped,    unable to hide his anguish any longer.    the room felt heavy with the weight of his emotions,   a shared sorrow that seemed to bind them even in their moments of conflict.     it was a painful realization of the damage they had caused each other,  and the uncertainty of whether they could ever heal those wounds.    yet his heart ached,   his earlier resolve to stay strong crumbling further.    he turned back to face her.*     pacifica,   I don’t want to be cruel to you.  just... I don't know how to navigate this anymore.   we've hurt each other so much,   and I can't bear to see you in pain.    that’s the difference between you and me.  

@bearsfalls         [     blue eyes,  once fiery, now glistened with unshed tears as she struggled to find the right words to respond.     ]    dipper,      don't say that.     [      she replied,   her voice quivering with emotion.     ]      you have no idea how much you've hurt me,   how much damage you've done.     i can't trust you anymore.    [      her words were deliberate,     meant to hurt,   a defense mechanism she’d put up,   since she’d gotten so used to shielding her true emotions that it almost felt easy.      ]        why?    you said it once yourself,   we can’t be friends.     so,   it’s only fair,   if you be cruel to me too.    

*for a few moments,  he was at loss for words. a lump formed in his throat, as her hurtful words struck him. he couldn’t believe that she was resorting to such a threat.*   no..  /you/  know how to ruin every moment.    why are you like this?        I try to be reasonable but all you do is be spiteful..  and mean.       this is a low blow,  even for you pacifica.     I still tried to be your friend..      maybe,    because you have no one,  but your cult-y,  socialite family and I feel sorry for you.       *a pause.*     you can be real cruel.
