Dipper Gleeful

'So, you do magic?' She leaned over the counter to ask me with her commoner brown eyes, yet how mesmerising they were.

'I wouldn't call it magic, I'd say it's kind of a dark ma-'

'Shush, don't ruin the moment okay? Let me sink into that weird world of magic or weirdness.' Pacifica widened her eyes and shoved a finger in my face, an inch to touching my lips and upon realising she retaliated.

'What about it?' I folded my arms and looked around the Mystery Shack store, making sure no one was listening in, like that Gideon brat.

'Does that mean I can get anything I would want? Like anything at all?' Her finger was back to pointing near my face again, I inched away from it subtly.

Of course, but why was I to ever tell her that.

'Depends, don't ask for world domination though, I've reserved that for some other time, maybe for Mabel too.'

'Jeez, relax. Take a chill pill idiot. I've got better things to wish for.' Pacifica shoot me a quick glare and looked down at her nails, pursing her lips for a millisecond. I learned from Mabel that girls do this when they're being sarcastic, or don't want to talk to you.

'Tell me then, since I have nothing better to do.' I spat back at her. I had many things to do, such as clean my room, practice for the show tonight and even tell Mabel off for being a nosy sister since she kept questioning my whereabouts about last night.

I'd rather not talk about my little boat ride with Pazzie.

Especially with that she-demon of my sister.

'Well,' Pacifica straightened herself, standing up from her lazy slouched position. 'I'm still thinking. Give me some time, will you?' She tapped her cheek, I was getting really irritated now.

'Like?' I replied, apparently annoyed.

'Well, I'll figure it out, and when I do, I'll get back to you.' She laughed and snapped her fingers in my face. No one has ever done that to me before, and that made me a bit uncomfortable, but in a way that I also felt comfortable.

She stuck her tongue out at me and waved me goodbye as if I was leaving. And pushed me out the door.

It was my idea to come to the Mystery Shack bright and early in the morning, since I knew Pacifica would be alone, watching the shop, I knew Gideon was busy. Busy with his friends.

I quickly ended my conversation with Pacifica and went home. When I opened the door to Gleeful Manor, Mabel perched up from the living room couch, the glint in her eye was a bad sign. And told me that wouldn't like what came next.

'Dipstick!' She clapped her hands together excitedly like she came up with some great marvellous plan.

'What would you like this time?' I groaned and rolled my eyes, wanting to fall into my bed at once due to sleep deprivation.

'I've been thinking. That Gideon kid looks better than I last saw him.' 

'So...?'

'I want him.' She stomped a foot down in frustration, a sign of how spoilt Mabel is.
It really shows who's the better twin.

'...and you're telling me because...' I dragged on, I honestly saw no way in how this correlated to me.

'Won't you get him for me?' Mabel pouted her lips, and it really wasn't really a good look for her.
'No?' I furrowed my eyebrows, what the hell was Mabel's deal today, she was acting whiny-er than usual.

'DIPPERRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!' 

The shout echoed through the whole manor, and I winced a little at the sheer volume.
Now she was slamming her fist on the coffee table and stomping her foot, like a baby undergoing a tantrum. Oh, the poor poor coffee table.

'I'm not helping you, you have magic too, you work it out by yourself.' I shoved my hands into my pockets and walked off to my room upstairs.

I could still hear Mabel stomping her leg and making weird but annoying noises behind me.

I opened the door to my room and sat down at the table, settled for a bit and opened the drawer. I felt a chill down my spine as I grabbed the journal that lay in it.

I ran my hand over it, it looked exactly like the one that Pacifica had the first night I saw her. How odd. I narrowed my eyes and thought hard.

How could I get it from her without seeming like a weird guy? I couldn't risk her ruining my reputation, but at the same time, who would listen to some new city girl who doesn't know a thing.

I let out a sigh and heard the door creak open.

Mabel again.

She slouched as she dragged herself in and threw herself on my bed face down.

Dramatic as always.

I rolled my eyes and crammed the journal back into the drawer.

'Would be nice if you knocked.' I made my way to the side of my bed, folding my arms.
'Mpffjmfphhff.' Mabel said.

'I was just doing something, and could you please make yourself clear?' I pulled her up by her shoulder, willing her to at least sit up if not get up, but she only flipped herself over and laid there.

'But Dipper, only you know the spell to make Gideon like me.' She pounded her fists on my bed and I shook my head silently.

'I don't give a shit and get off my bed.' I gestured towards her.

'No.' 

'What?'

'I said no.' 

'You're ridiculous.'

'So are you, utterly ridiculous.'

'If you want the spell so bad get it from the spellbook in the attic.'

Mabel made no effort to reply and simply rolled off my bed onto the floor, staying there.
'You're being very annoying at the moment.'

My remark made her smirk, 'I know.' She said a-matter-of-fact-ly.

'Go on them. Leave me be.' I looked at her up and down.

Finally, Mabel gave in and sat up hesitantly, 'You're a party pooper you know.' She glared at me.
'Nice to know, I repeat, I don't give a single shi-'

'Okay, we got it. I'm off.' She blew air out of her nose and strode off.

Then, she stopped at the door, 'Y'know who you remind me of.' Mabel put her hands on her hips, and walked back to me, intimidating me.

'Who?'

'That bratty Pines girl, Patty or something. You know, you'd be a match made in heaven. The stubbornness of both you.' Then Mabel closed her eyes and put her hand to her lips, then made a kissing noise as she opened her hand to the ceiling. 'Perfect.'

I scoffed, very offendedly. 'W-What?' I stuttered, I've never stuttered one damn time in my life, why the hell was it coming now?

'I'm kidding Dipper. I'm kidding.' Then her face turned to a serious one, and she turned towards the door.

'Know who you're messing with. I'm still the one who runs the place. Fuck up and I'll kill you before you get to me.' Mabel stated, looked at me, the blue eyes we both had glowed on her and she left, before bursting into an evil cackle in the hallway.

'Kidding! Bye!' She squealed outside.

Not Patty, Pacifica, she meant Pacifica.

And how I wish the joke she made was a joke, and that it'd remain as one.

How wrong about my sister that was.

I shut the door as soon as she was gone and double locked it.

'I hate having an older twin sister.' I muttered under my breath.

I made a circle with my finger and initiated an all-seeing eye.

'Who do you wish to see?' It said.

'Pacifica Pines.'

The portal was engulfed in blue flames then bursted into a vision.

I looked down with hesitation, she was good and kind-hearted, it was only polite to do the same with her. She wasn't a fangirl, she looked genuine and seemed the same too. I think of what I said last night once again. It was awkward. I shouldn't have said that.

But, I shouldn't treat her as my friend, she has the journal, who knows what she's planning. I look back at the portal.

There she was walking in the woods, with something tucked in her jacket.

I squinted to get a better look.

Is that is journal?

She looked around herself cautiously, then made her way to a fallen log, perhaps the one where we met.

'Oh Pazzie, if only you knew how omnipresent and omnipotent magic is.'

She took the object out and lo behold, the journal.

'I must have it.'
