Does Anybody Know How To Date?
Dipper's POV
I was driving the car through the quiet forest save for the chirping of birds and the sounds emanating from the forest. But those were all drowned out with the feeling of freedom soaring in my blood and Pacifica beside me who had calmed down from my 'rocky' start. It has been an hour since we left but the day was slowly giving the away the sky for the night. The afternoon light fell through the distance
Moonlight dripped down through the trees and a cool wind fell on the forest, both giving the effect of a wondrous and lush forest around us. No monster in sight, no disasters and no Mabel to bother me. Just me and the love of my life.
I breath in the fresh air and exhale with a smile. I snuck a glance over at Pacifica who was relaxing at the sight that was beautiful but it was good as beaten compared to her. When the moon broke through her hair, she was shining like a goddess. I have never felt like this before with any other girl, not even Wendy.
Just with her, I could fight anything. The sight of her smile gives me strength. Her kaleidoscope eyes drawing me to her. The voice coming from her lips would have an effect on me unlike any weapon on earth. If I was given a wish on whether I should choose the power and knowledge over the universe or her, I will choose her. I vow that I will never give up and I will return to her. I will give her my everything and I shall defeat alternate Bill even if I have to sacrifice my life. It might be cheesy but to my last breath, I promise this.
"James?"
I blink repeatedly and blush at Pacifica who was near my face and had a curious look on her face.
"Yes, Pacifica?"
"You were staring off in the distance and specifically in my direction."
"Oh, was I?"
"Yes, you were. Do you have a fever? You look red." She went nearer to my face and it just made me blush more at the near proximity we were in. She placed a finger on my forehead and my eyes went to were it went. I look back at her and she was looking at me with her piercing blue eyes. I smile mentally when an idea popped up in m head. I kiss her cheek and I resumed driving down the road.
My eyes went to the left to see Pacifica blushing madly and in her seat holding her knees. I chuckle at her and she twisted her head glaring at me but I wasn't going to flinch. She just made me chuckle more.
"WHAT DID YOU DO THAT FOR!?!?!?" She shouted at me with a scowl on her face.
"If you wanted me to kiss you, you should have asked me instead of going near me."
"W-WHAT! I w-wasn't going to kiss you! I was worried, okay!", she was stuttering t my statement with a noticable redness on her face.
"You know that feeling in your chest? It's called DENIAL." I said singing the word 'denial' off the tip of my tongue. I don't remember being this sarcastic or maybe my time with the Gems changed me a bit.
"Just don't do that again.", she said while drilling a punch to my arm. She sat back on the seat, crossing her arms with a cute pout on her face.
I turn left into the forest and come out to a path hidden precariously in the forest. Whoever did this was pretty crafty. Lanterns were along the road that lit up the scenery around us with an almost ethereal sea green light.
"James, where are we?"
"You'll see." Man, I should have done this years ago. But I couldn't, considering of course the apocalypse and stuff. Why does trouble follow me? Well, it is my fault since I keep on trying to find it on the first place.
I pull up the car to a huge wall with a beautifully adorned wooden door that had survived several centuries but was still standing. Vines covered almost all of it but it also allowed people to see the wall. Pink flowers were blooming on the vines. I should thank my great-grandfather for putting this spot in the journals. I turn off the engine and I exit the car. I walk to Pacifica's side and opened the door holding out a hand for her to take. She was looking confusedly at me. But I only had a sly smile in response.
After closing the door, she slips her arm in mine and she was in utter awe at the place around us. But, if the journal was right, she would be having her mouth open to the floor. We walk to the front of the door and a man in a black cloak was standing over a pedestal with what I suspect was a list on it.
"Reservations?" He had a slow voice that made him sound like an old man who had lived for thousands of years. Remembering the things that happened to me, it was possible.
"James and Pacifica Universe from the πεύκο family." I said Pines in Greek so Pacifica won't understand it and only the man will. Pacifica was blushing that I said that her last name was mine. I slip a drachma onto the pedestal out of Pacifica's eyes. The drachma was in where I found the page of the place. It indicated that I should give it to the man in black.
He raised his head at me and rose an eyebrow. He had a stern jaw and his eyes had pitch black irises which would make shadows look like they were white. His eyes glowed a swirling brown and searched my memories. When the light from his eyes faded, he smiled at me.
" Νίκαια για να δείτε μια άλλη πεύκο εδώ . Ο προπάππος σας θα χαρούμε να σας βρείτε εδώ . ." My head instantly translated his words into English and it brought a smile to my face. They translated to:
"Nice to see another Pines here. Your great grandfather would be glad to find you here."
"Thank you." I said with gratefulness. The man gestured for us to go to the door and we started walking to it. The door opened as if on its own accord. And we were rewarded with a sight so amazing, it put the Northwest mansion to shame.
A table with plates, silverware and candles on it was set on light green grass that looked so soft it would make you want to just lie down there. The grass resided on a cliff that gave a view of a part of the forest I have never seen before. Even if you just walked in here, you knew that the beauty of the forest was also in this very place. Flowers of unknown species decorated the trees which bent to give a dome over our table but it had a circle which gave a place for the moonlight to light it up. Fireflies flew through the darker spots of the area and they went towards us. I turn my head to see Pacifica fascinated with the place and she touched a firefly which circled around her and landed on her finger. It then flew to Pacifica's nose and she giggled which made the small creature fly away.
She looked back at me and her look was one of shock and joy.
"How did you know about this place? I have never heard of this place before."
"Let's just say my great-grandfather told me about this place." Even though he wrote it in a journal instead of telling me face to face. I said it mentally in my head. But Pacifica didn't need to know that.
I bring her to the table and I pull out her chair. She sat on it with ease. I went to my own seat and I sat with a smile. The man appeared out of nowhere and he looks to either of us.
"Anything for you or the beautiful lady?" I had a grin which threathened to break my face.
"Surprise us."
"With pleasure." He disappeared into the shadows and sounds of footsteps come from where the man was. And out came 6 men with waiter outfits and plates with covers on their hands. The 5 men put down the platters and they opened it to reveal food unlike any other that had such a shining quality to it that was perfect for it. But not perfect like my Pacifica.
The last man grabs the handle of the cover and he pulls it out. On the plate was a red wine bottle that was watered down a tad bit to avoid unnecessary 'accidents' and two wine glasses. The waiter placed the glasses on the table and he poured the wine. When he was finished, he left the bottle on the table and started walking away with the other men. Pacifica was shocked at the table before us and she looked at me surprised.
"Do you like it?"
"Yes."
"This was for you, you know."
"...thanks." She had a small smile on her face with an apparent blush on her flawless face.
Line break of sorts
The car stopped in front of the Northwest mansion's doors and I got Pacifica from the car. We were walking side by side. Our arms brushing lightly from time to time. Every contact making me blush. We stop in front of the door and I look at her with happiness.
"Uhhhhhh ..........we're here now." I said awkwardly.
"Yeah. By the way, thanks for that sort of date."
"Y-you're, we-welcome." I rub the back of my neck sheepishly and I laugh awkwardly. Why am I stuttering? "I forgot something at Mabel's, I'll be back."
"Okay." I started walking back to the car.
"James?"
"Yeah?"
She grabbed my shirt and pulled me towards her. She kissed my cheek and she pulled back with a blush.
"Got to go, bye. Good luck with Mabel." She opened and closed the door faster than she might have intended. My hand went to my cheek and I was blushing on overdrive. It wasn't long till a large smile which showed the clear emotion on my mind, happiness. I ran to the car and in midstride, I jump and pump my fist to the air and scream like a maniac.
"WHHHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
I clasp my hand over my mouth and my face turn red in embarrassment at my outburst. Maybe I shouldn't have screamed but I didn't have a care in the world. I walk to the car and I started the car. I then headed out of the gates with the biggest grin on my face.
It took a minute for me to arrive at the Mystery Shack. I went inside through the back door and there was something I never saw before.
Mabel was sitting on a chair and was looking at the couch with worry. On the couch was an unconscious Wendy who had a big bruise on her head with Lapis Lazuli holding a frying pan made out of water with her arms crossed and was glaring at Wendy with a fierceness that made me want to cower in a corner and die there. Steven was pacing back and forth. Amethyst was trying to comfort Steven with her words which made just made me more confused. The others were behind Lapis and Peridot was calming down Lapis but she never took her eyes off Wendy. All of them snapped up to attention at me opening through the door in synchronization which was creepy. I was uncomfortable with their eyes on me but I gathered up my courage and looked straight at them with my eyebrow raised.
"What happened here?"
A/N: What do you think? *Lucy Wilde Voice* Was it awesome? Please tell me!!!!!!!!!!!! Comment please. I am begging you.
