And here's the second chapter. There will probably be more about her hanging out around the shack, so if you want to see her do anything while hanging out with the Pines twins let me know, if I like it maybe I'll use it. Enjoy~

Chapter Two: What Friends are For

"Ohmygoodness!" Mabel gasped, hands over her mouth when she saw the state Pacifica was in. The blonde was standing just inside the doorway, hands folded in front of her while she looked at the ground in shame at the whole predicament. Stan had left and gone into the kitchen, leaving Pacifica alone with the twins in the entryway. Mabel rushed over and hugged the girl, catching her by surprise. "Don't worry, you can stay here as long as you need to. Come on, let's get you some clean clothes!" Mabel grabbed Pacifica by the hand and dragged her up the stairs and to their room.

"I'll get some blankets and a pillow!" Dipper called up the stairs as they went. Pacifica said nothing as Mabel opened the door to their small, shared attic bedroom. It wasn't much, just a bookshelf, a desk, two beds and some belongings. It was nothing like what Pacifica's room was like, huge and filled to the brim with anything and everything she could ever want. But even so Mabel looked perfectly happy with the few things she had. First she introduced Pacifica to Waddles, her pet pig, then showed her all her stuff animals and her scrapbook for the summer. Pacifica was silent as she was shown around.

"Enough of that, let's get you some PJs!" Mabel announced and went over to her dresser. She pulled out two pairs of warm, colorful sweatpants and two t-shirts. One of the pants was pink and the other one was bright blue, both had a triangle pattern on them. The T-shirts were purple and red, the red one had a fluffy white cat on it and the purple one had some kind of computer data card on it. "You can pick which ones you want." Pacifica looked between them all, none of them being what she was used too. But she figured that nothing was going to be what she was used to for awhile. She shrugged and took the red shirt and pink pants. The two changed in silence and once they were done there was a knock on the door. "You can come in!"

"Hey, guys," Dipper said as he walked into the room, carrying few pillows with him. Behind the boy followed the handyman, Soos, who was carrying a bunch of blankets under one arm and a sleeping bag was curled around the other. "I figured that I'd take the floor and you can have my bed, sound good?" Dipper looked over at Pacifica as he and Soos started to set up the sleeping bag and blankets. Pacifica blinked and nodded hesitantly. Mabel grinned and punched Dipper lightly on the shoulder.

"You gentleman!" Dipper laughed lightly at that and Pacifica just stood there as the three of them set the blankets and the sleeping bag up on the floor. When they were done the twins bid goodnight to Soos as the man left the room. Dipper switched his pillows out for the ones on the floor and changed the blankets on his bed for new ones. "There, all ready!" Mabel turned to Pacifica with a grin, but it faded as she saw the girl staring at the ground with her hands folded in front of her as always. "Pacifica? You haven't said a word since you got here. Are you ok?" Dipper looked up from his place on the ground while Mabel walked over to the girl. Pacifica looked up hesitantly when Mabel was right in front of her, expression sad.

"I-I can't thank you enough, I really can't," she said quietly "No one else would have taken me in, not like this. So, thanks." Pacifica jumped a little when Mabel hugged her tightly.

"Hey, that's what friends are for!" Mabel said, pulling back from the hug with a grin. Pacifica stared at Mabel for a long moment, which made the girl tilt her head in confusion. Pacifica smiled at her and Mabel grinned back at her. "Come on, let's brush our teeth. You can borrow one of the toothbrushes in the cabinet." Pacifica nodded and followed the duo down the hall, taking the yellow tooth brush that Mabel offered her when they got there. The three brushed their teeth in silence and once done Mabel and Dipper raced each other back up the stairs and to their room, Pacifica following behind at a walk.

She expected to got to bed once she got there and sleep until morning, then get up early. But when she arrived she saw Dipper and Mabel chasing each other around the room, laughing their heads off. It didn't look like there were anywhere near ready for bed. Pacifica spent the night playing board games, laughing her guts out, playing little pranks on Stan and all around messing around. By the time they all were worn out it was passed eleven and Pacifica almost fell asleep the instant she hit the pillow. For a moment, she forgot the circumstances that lead her to being here, for a moment she was just like any other kid having a sleepover.

And that's a wrap!
