Dipper and Pacifica's Love Story

Chapter 38

Dipper's POV

I took a step back as Mr. Northwest approached me. I saw the veins appear on his face and his skin color turn red. You could see the amount of hate in his eyes. Just from the look itself, you would think he would kill anyone he could. Reminds me of the look of a madman. Someone that's insane but, at the same time, impossible to reason with. I could see why Pacifica was afraid to say something or stand up for herself. I don't remember Mr. Northwest being this bad from the other world, so why is he more devilish than before? But I had no time to think because the crazy animal in front of me came closer and closer.

He yelled, "You! You think you can come into my house and tell me what to do?! You've got another thing coming boy!" I saw as he reached for a bamboo stick against the wall and starting swinging.

"Whoa! You can't beat me up! What would all these people going to say about this?!" I said.

He gave me a creepy smile, "Money makes problems go away…" He got closer to me with every step.

As he got closer to me, I tried to reason with him, "Stop this Mr. Northwest! I'm not trying to do anything bad here! I'm just trying to make your daughter enjoy herself on her birthday! Let's resolve this without someone getting hurt!"

But Mr. Northwest didn't even take in what I said, "Shut up! You're the reason why I hate people like you! You have no reason to be on this planet if you're going to interfere with my affairs!"

I looked to the people around me for support, but I only saw them all glare at me. I even looked at Pacifica who was standing there, frozen, in shock, and unable to move. I was on my own against this man. But I know deep down there's a way to resolve this without me dying!

I took several steps back to avoid Mr. Northwest. However, I soon found myself up against the wall and found myself speechless. I couldn't say anything! No matter what I say he just gets more angry and aggressive! And if I try to fight back or anything, I won't be able to get near Pacifica ever again, not to mention, I'll probably be in prison! So I guess there's only one thing to do.

I looked up at Mr. Northwest who at this point was laughing to himself and getting super close to me. I held my ground and closed my eyes as I stepped forward into the line of fire. I braced for a hit on my head, chest, or legs, but nothing came. I opened my eyes, but of course, that's when I was smacked across the face with the stick.

I fell to the ground hard and felt the blood rush to my head. I looked on the reflective ground and saw blood on my forehead go down my face. The pain was unbearable. If you ever got hit with a thick, hard stick before, you'll know how much it hurts!

"You've got some nerve boy! If you think getting smacked across the face was the only thing I would do with you, then you're dead wrong! I'm going to make sure that you won't walk or talk again! You'll finally learn respect and where you fall on the social scale! Never again will I have a commoner like you tell me what to do or what to say! I hope that you learned that by now!" Mr. Northwest yelled as he slowly walked towards me.

My face was starting to hurt like heck as I tried to get on my feet. "You're the person who needs to learn respect! You call yourself a father, but deep down you and I both know you're nothing more than dirt! You never show any love or compassion to your own family! All you care about is money and how to be a spoiled piece of garbage! I used to think that your daughter was like that, but I realized that unlike you, she has a future as someone she wants to be! Not what she's forced to be by the hands of you! You even ruined the one day that you're supposed to care your daughter the most! Hit me all you want and pay these people what they want, I'll make sure that your daughter gets what she deserves! Freedom and the opportunity to do whatever she wants without you!" But my words were cut from the sound of my arm being smashed by the bamboo stick.

I screamed in pain and fell to the ground once again. As I finally stopped rolling and got the strength to look up, I saw the people around me continue to glare almost if I deserved this. But the fact was that they were all sick in the head and deep down the exact same thing as Mr. Northwest. I thought that maybe if I told the truth and the meaning of Pacifica's future, maybe they would stop this and save me. But at this point, all I could do was give up and give in. I can't win if these people aren't able to see the truth in front of them. These people are beyond help and all I can do is lie on the ground and bleed out. Sounds like a great way to go!

Mr. Northwest threw the bamboo stick away. "You know what Dipper?! I'm done with playing the tormentor." He pulled out a handgun from the back of his belt. "I'm just going to end this fiasco right now so we can move on with our lives. And don't worry, your family will be noted that their precious son was hit in a shooting accident. We'll make your funeral wonderful and cheap. And within a few days after you're buried, everyone will forget about you!" He pulled the gun and pointed it at my forehead.

I tried to say something, but I couldn't. The whole situation escalated from 0 to 100 very fast! I can't believe that people could stand around and watch this man do this?! How could someone with money get away with murder and no one cares?! I guess I can't keep your promise Grunkle Stan about dying… But I won't go away without one more thing.

I looked at Mr. Northwest directly in the eyes and said two words. "Do it…"

"What?!" He questioned.

"Do it!" I repeated. "Shoot me right now! Do it! Show these people and your daughter the monster you are! Do it! What are you waiting for?! DO IT-" But Mr. Northwest punched me across the face.

"ENOUGH! I won't tolerate this barbaric behavior in my house! This is the end for you, Dipper Pines!" He pointed the gun at me, but instead of pulling the trigger, a white, blonde girl stepped in front of me.

Pacifica said under her breath, "Enough…"

Her father said, "What?"

"I said enough! You're not a father to me dad! You're threatening to kill one of the only people that have actually seen me not as a rich, spoiled brat, but as a regular girl! You say you care about me, but we both know that you're full of it! All I want from this family is a bond similar to the Pines family! But all you do dad is care about money! For once in your miserable life, can you look to me not as a dollar sign, but your own daughter who you've grown and shaped into today? I was born on this day, and still to this day you haven't shown the littlest of compassion! Dipper Pines has finally opened my eyes! You're not my father! You're a monster!" Pacifica yelled. I didn't notice it, but Pacifica was crying. Despite being very angry with her father, she was actually crying.

The entire house went silent. Mr. Northwest was speechless from his daughter's actions. Never in his whole life has someone so close to him has talked back to him in a manner where he couldn't even say anything. Pacifica spoke with power and determination almost like she's been waiting to do this her entire life. I too was speechless from her actions thinking that she never spoke like that to her father before.

Mr. Northwest put his gun away and looked at us. He saw the horrible things that have unfolded right in front of him. His daughter has been abused to the point where she would rather risk her life for a commoner and step up to her father while he's on the verge of killing someone. He just stood there and didn't even move a hair on his face.

Finally, Mr. Northwest walked up to Pacifica who took a step back realizing that her father was going to hit her or something, but the hit never came. Instead, Mr. Northwest fell to his knees and just hugged her.

Under his breath, he said, "I'm sorry."

Pacifica's face was surprised, along with everyone else. Never in her life has she heard the words, "I'm sorry," from her father before. He's never sorry about anything he does, but this is a first.

Tears came from Mr. Northwest's eyes and he just erupted in tears. Pacifica just stood there confused out of her mind.

After the tears on his face were done, Mr. Northwest turned to his daughter and said, "I'm so sorry Pacifica… I just realized that all my work to make you into a woman wasn't helping you, it was hurting you, and I can't say how much I'm sorry for that. I was blind to the truth the entire time about my behavior. Not to mention, I beat up and almost killed someone that was trying to open my eyes." He turned to me, "Dipper Pines if you want to call the cops and arrest me, you can do that. But please accept my apology for what I've done today!" He pleaded as he lowered his head.

I said, "Mr. Northwest, if your daughter is happy, then I'm happy. I only did what I did for your daughter, and if you finally will make her dream as a normal girl come true now, then there's no reason to call anyone."

Mr. Northwest looked up and smiled in a way that I've never seen before. It was one of those smiles that wasn't faked, nor forced, but full of happiness.

Pacifica turned to her father, "Dad?"

"Yes?" He asked.

Pacifica asked, "Can we finally be a carrying family that's not going to push each other down, but raise each other up?"

With one last tear shed, Mr. Northwest said, "Yes! From this point forward we'll be a better family! I promise you that!" Pacifica and her father hugged once more and everyone clapped.

One of the guests said, "What are we waiting for?! Let's party!"

And with that, everyone partied and for the first time ever, I saw Pacifica with a smile on her face with her parents next to her.

After I was patched up and given a thousand apologies for getting hurt in the first place, I decided to go outside and look up at the night sky.

The sky was clear and full of stars. I took this time to rethink about everything that's happened today. One second I'm walking through the woods with Pacifica, the next almost getting shot by her father. All of that was for Pacifica, and despite her not remembering what's happened in the past world, I still love her for what she is. A young, beautiful, intelligent, and independent woman!

I couldn't help but blush once I said, "love," in my head…

As my thoughts threw me into daydreaming, I didn't even realize the girl standing in front of me. "Dipper, you alright?" She asked.

"I'm alright now!" I joked. "But you did it. You finally broke the chains around your neck and spoke freely. You can finally do the things that you want without your family getting in the way!"

She sat down next to me and said, "I can't thank you enough."

"What do you mean?" I asked, "I was just doing this because I like you! You deserve to live a life that you want. Not be forced to live one your family sees fit."

"But why?! Why did you risk your life for me?! All I did was make fun of you and called you names! I also sprayed you with pepper spray and punched you! Why did you do all of that for me?!"

I was going to say something stupid, but there's no point in hiding it anymore right? I can't hide my feelings from her forever, matter as well tell her the truth.

"Because," I said, "because… I love you…I loved you in the past world, and I love you now…" It was hard to say that, but I had to. My face soon flushed with red.

But instead of screaming, laughing, or beating me up, she just got me to my feet and kissed me. It happened so quick that I couldn't really describe it. And despite it being our first one in this world, it's almost like she knew how to do it.

We separated and she looked me in the eye. "Dipper…"

"Yeah?" I asked.

She looked up into the sky and asked, "Do you remember the first time we met?"

I looked at her and said, "Yeah, it was with my sister several weeks ago."

"No," she said, "That's not the time I'm talking about. Remember the time that it was just you and me? The first time we met?"

I thought about it for a moment, "The only other time was that one night at the mansion-" but that's when the real question came to mind.

"Pacifica," I asked, "do you remember the past world I've been talking about?"

She smiled at me and grabbed my hand. The breeze made her long hair wave behind her and from where I was standing, made her even more beautiful than before. She turned to me and I saw one tear roll down her face. "Does going on an adventure to find treasure in a cave seem familiar to you? Maybe singing it to you may help…"

The End.

Or is it?

Here's the deal guys, I've been writing this story for over a year now, and let me tell you, I never thought I would get this far! I have you guys to thank for that! Now, this may, or may not be the end. I won't say the story is completed on FanFiction, but I don't want to tell you that the story will continue any longer from this point forward. I'm out of ideas, and also, I originally ended this story after Chapter 28, but all you guys didn't like it, so I had to change it. I felt that this ending is best for everyone because it ends all loose ends and whatnot, and not to mention, there's room for a possible sequel… But at the same time, I don't want to steal any ideas from other FanFics, so this is all the stuff I have. If you guys have an idea or something you're willing to share about this story or a possible sequel idea, then just tell me! I'm open for all suggestions and ideas if you're willing. Also, even if you have a question or something you want to ask me, fire away too. And hey, if the idea is good enough I may matter as well continue the story!

But if this is the end of the road, I'll like to thank you guys once again for all of the support and things you've said to me! I would've told you guys individually how great your reviews were, but most of you were guests! And I can't message guests! However, whether or not you're a guest, or have an account, you guys made this story happen. Don't thank me; thank yourselves for giving me the support needed to write this! Stay Weird!

PS: This isn't the end of me as a writer, I'll write more FanFics and whatnot in the future. School and work all kill my time of availability, but you'll see more of me in the future! Thanks again!
