Once they snuck through the rows of library patrons and headed down the street to a more secluded area where with the push of a button a limousine arrived. Pacifica led the way and motioned for Dipper to follow inside. It was the first time he'd ever been seated inside one of these and the way he gazed around it revealed his inexperience. He swore he saw the wealthy girl grin at him for a moment but she quickly turned her attention towards the partition separating us from the driver.

"Ah! Miss Northwest and…"

"Mr. Pines; Winston."

"Mr. Pines… wait you were the young man that was engaged in conversation with Miss Northwest during the party weren't you?"

"Um… yes…."

"You must be quite the character then, not just any young man can keep Miss Northwest's attention for quite so long." he stated as he glanced over at the boy, who seemed to have gone numb.

Pacifica immediately coughed and told the man where they were heading.

"Ah yes going to do some shopping?"

"Something like that."

At this Winston glanced between the two and mumbled something under his breath.

"What was that Winston?"

"Nothing of importance Miss Northwest, though I assume you want to keep Mr. Pines here a secret from your parents?"

She simply nodded in response.

"Alright then, we shall arrive at our destination in fifteen minutes give or take traffic."

"Thank you Winston."

He tipped her his cap and smiled.

"Anything for you Miss Northwest."

Pacifica then shut the partition and returned to her seat across from Dipper who seemed to regain sentience.

"What was-"

"Nothing! It's just, my parents have been trying recently to set me up a couple of times with the sons of other important families and they were all so incredibly boring."

"Huh? I can only imagine, "Oh my dear Pacifica would you like to discuss your latest trip to the Hamptons? The last time I went the weather was dreadful, we sued the local news for being so inaccurate and ruining my chances to get a massage in the sunshine." he said replicating the fanciest accent he could muster.

It seemed to have the intended effect though, as it sent her into a small fit of giggles. Considering the way she seemed to have hardly laughed at anyone else's attempts at humoring her, it always felt like a major confidence boost whenever his jokes worked. Or whenever any pretty girl laughed at his jokes to be honest… wait.

"Yeah pretty much. I've been meaning to ask, why did you guys come to Gravity Falls for the summer in the first the first place?"

"That's easy, Mom and Dad wanted us out of the house for the summer."

"So they just sent you over here to live with… your Grandpa?" she guessed.

"Close, Great uncle."

"Oh."

She asked him a few questions about home and his parents, Dipper tried to use the opportunity to ask her about her as well but he mostly got a few words in response before she changed the subject. Before they knew it the limo had come to a complete halt next to the sidewalk. With the thanking of Winston and a small exchange between Pacifica and the man that he couldn't hear, they were off.

"So which way is the statue?"

"About three minutes that way by the edge of the woods."

The town seemed much larger than Gravity Falls at least if the squeaky clean modern buildings had anything to say about it. Everyone here seemed like they were peacefully strolling along with their friends and family enjoying the day. He thought it so picturistic until he caught a glimpse of a near by banner stating that today was "Family summer fun day". He found it odd why they chose on a specific day for this but after you've stayed in the town where "Summerween" was tradition, he decided to drop it.

A high pitched voice interrupted his train of thought however when it announced they made it to the statue. Which he had to look down at.

"Whoa, that's it?"

"Yep, you thought it was bigger?"

He nodded.

"Not surprised, I probably wouldn't have even remembered this thing if I didn't take shopping trips around here and even then that picture really helped."

The statue was inscribed to be in honor of "the native piebald deer of this fair town", the deer portrayed in bronze and iron seemed to have odd markings across its body yet was much shorter than any deer he'd ever seen. He scanned the plaque till he saw a certain type of flower and pressed down revealing a panel on the side.

"Bingo."

"Okay now what? Is there some kind of password?"

"Yep."

Silence.

"Do you know what the password is?"

More silence.

"I was going to work that out now?"

Pacifica groaned and fished out the book from her purse again and flipped over to the page they've been working off of. Standing by close so her acquaintance could look over.

The page read clearly "If you wish to crack the code know the place that you reside."

"It looks like the answer lies within some code hidden somewhere in town."

Whilst Dipper began rattling on about double meanings and code, Pacifica looked at the panel and glanced at the town. Before the preteen boy could begin discussing their best options, the ground right in front of the plaque flipped over and revealed what appeared to be a concrete slab with an odd jewel adorning the front.

"Done."

Looking over at her companion, she smiled cheekily as he began stuttering and flipping through a few notes before squeaking out a "How?!"

She just shrugged her shoulders.

"I just plugged in the street address."

"Well that was anticlimactic."

"Sometimes common sense just wins out Indiana Jones."

She lightly pushed his cap down obscuring his view, to which he had snorted and readjusted his hat and… she swore she just saw something under his hair. He didn't seem to mention it though so she kept her mouth shut for now.

"So now what? We have to wait for the Moon?"

"Pretty much, yeah."

Wiping some of the early afternoon sweat off his brow, he sat on the concrete slab and took a novel out of his bag.

"Oh my God. Don't tell me you're so boring that you think reading a book till the moon pops out is how I'm spending my time with you?"

An annoyed sigh escaped him as he eyed the girl.

"Pacifica, we just opened up a secret passageway that anyone else can stumble upon. If we're going to investigate the cache then we need to be the only ones who know about this."

"So you're really just gonna sit there instead of oh I don't know, hanging out with the coolest girl you know?"

"Modest much?"

"Very. Now what would it take to get your butt off the ground to accompany me?"

"Look unless we had a way of covering this huge slab up with something there's no way I'll…"

A gardener began whistling a merry tune as he began rolling out the rows of sod he was applying onto patches of dirt to a nearby an apartment building.

"I can't believe that arguing with the guy about his arrangement of the petunias actually worked!"

"I can't believe you managed to drop the sod super loudly and he still didn't even notice it. As far as his flower arrangement goes, our gardener Jose really gets pissy when you critique his landscaping so I'd figured it'd work."

He couldn't help it as a goofy grin appeared on his face. It was so strange how just a few weeks ago she was this egotistical bully who managed to get on his every nerve, and now here he was on a treasure hunt with the exact same girl who was being a huge help.

They continued basically looking around and checking out some of the activities the town had set up until… he saw it.

There it stood in it's two story glory and decorated in flashy blinking lights.

"Ar..ca..de.?" Pacifica read awkwardly, as she heard an insanely loud gasp.

"What? I was really that off?"

"You've never heard of an arcade?!"

"Wow. I was that off…"

"Okay this is something that is being remedied immediately!"

She immediately felt him take his hand in hers and started being dragged towards the door.

Meanwhile back at the shack…

"Hey Soos! Go downstairs and grab me a Pitt Cola!..and while you're at it why don't you go check on the kid, he gets kind of mopey when he's got no one around. It really bums me out, so let me know so I can avoid seeing that mess ok!"

"You got it Mr. Pines!"
