Author's Note:

Well...you know when you're obsessed with a show when you start up a fanfic right after you finish watching all the current available episodes XD. After discussing headcannons with a friend of mine, I came up with some ideas for a Reverse!Falls fanfic that seemed way too good not to write down. I do not know how often I will be able to update, but I will get to it as soon as I can!

For this Reverse!Falls story, most of the characters are still in the same situation as they are in cannon (Pacifica still being the rich girl, Dipper and Mabel coming to live with their gruncle, etc) only with the role of hero and villain being switched. For most of the characters, either their personalities have become their opposite or have been altered to fit their current role of hero/villain, while some of the minor characters only some changes to their cannon counterparts.

Anyways, I hope you enjoy the first chapter and please review!

"Pacifica Northwest, you get back here this instant!" The furious voice of Preston Northwest echoes throughout his mansion, causing a huge disturbance within the household. "Butler, bring back my daughter now!"

Running like her life depends on it, Pacifica dashes though her home's hallways, dodging servants and trying not to let the words of her father consume her. She cries out sorry to the servants she bumps into, sensing the butler that her father ordered to get her is closing in.

"Miss Northwest, please stop this!" the butler calls out. "Miss Northwest, your father orders you to stop this childish act!"

"That's all Daddy ever says!" Pacifica called back, fighting the intense heat around her eyes. "'Pacifica, stop this! Pacifica, stop doing that!'"

Sliding down the railing of the staircase, she was able to lose the butler by flying down the stairs at a great speed. Once on the first floor of the mansion, Pacifica then runs out through the front doors, racing towards the entrance gates as she orders one of the gatekeepers to open them. Just like every time she orders them, they do as she says without question, where she then runs with all her might all the way to the safety of the forest below the hill her mansion sits upon. She runs through the trees, the nature comforting her and bringing her further away from her cruel parents.

Her parents, the richest people in Gravity Falls, who could give her anything her heart desired with a single order and check. She has it all, most people would say...

Oh, if only they knew the truth. If only they could see the loneliness, the neglect, the many impossible standards that is put upon her all her life!

Eventually, Pacifica could feel her legs grow tired, panting heavily as she leans against a tree for support. She takes in deep breaths, doing her best to keep her frustration and loneliness within her to calm herself down.

Inhale, exhale. Inhale, exhale...

She clutches her fist and bangs it against a tree, feeling some relief as the anger flows out of her. She stands where she is for a long moment, till she feels stable enough to go into town. The walk is a bit long, but she welcomes it. It is pleasant outside, the weather cool for the beginning of summer, the trees adding some relief from the sun. She stays not too close to the road, in case her father's fury caused their servants to search for her, but close enough to where she will not get lost.

As she walks, she smoothes out her lavender dress and combs back her long blonde hair, hoping to keep up her appearance and not show any weakness or distress. Eventually, Pacifica arrives at the town of Gravity Falls, stepping out of the woods and coming towards the sidewalk. She begins to make her way down the street, feeling the stares of the people around her at her easily recognizable clothes. She keeps her firm blue eyes in front of her, doing her best to ignore them. She walks pass a group of girls from school, where they stop in mid conversation to see her walk pass.

"Oh my gosh, is that Pacifica Northwest?" a large girl with long brown hair tied in a ponytail asks. "And she doesn't have anyone escorting her?"

"I know, that is surprising," a girl with long black hair and glasses replies. "Why would anyone go out if they have the money to have servants do everything for them?"

"Maybe it is because she is so stuck up that even the servants don't want to be around her," another girl adds. "She snaps at almost every time someone talks to her, so who is to say that isn't true?"

The raven haired girl nods in agreement.

"Yeah, good point. Rich people are nothing but snobs anyway, unable to do anything by themselves without buying someone to do it for them."

"Ha! That's a good one, Candy!"

The group of girls laugh, Pacifica trying to drown out their voices as she storms off.

Judgment... Judgment everywhere she goes! Everyone has something to say or something to assume about her, not even taking the time to get to know her without shunning her or attempt to use her parent's money. Everyone in Gravity Falls made it almost impossible for her to be around anyone.

Except for one person, one family who has yet to judge her...

With a small chill of anxiety going through her, Pacifica goes over to one of the town's biggest attraction, the Tent of Wonder, owned by the Gleeful family. On a huge poster, she saw the face of the main attraction of the tent, the young magician who believed he could do anything, Lil Gideon. His cute, dimpled smile shines down on her, making Pacifica relax slightly by the warmth it gives off. She can hear Gideon's high pitch voice coming from the tent, knowing that a magic show is in midst of playing. She heads towards the tent and goes inside, standing in the back to watch the rest of the performance.

Right now, Gideon, dressed in a tiny black suit, holds out a top hat with his opposite hand high up in the air. He is standing in the middle of the stage, having the audience's full attention with a big large smile across his face.

"And now for the final trick of the day everyone!" Gideon exclaims through his microphone. "I will now pull a cute, little bunny from my hat!"

He puts his hand inside his top hat.

"Ready everyone?"

The audience nods, some of them giving small 'aww' noises in response to Gideon's cuteness. Pacifica cannot help but smile as she watches him perform his trick, Gideon digging through his hat with a determine look on his face. Suddenly, his expression brightens, his hand suggesting he has taken a hold of something. Like he is using all of his strength, he pulls out a stuff rabbit toy, holding it up to where the audience can see it in full view.

The crowd cheers, Gideon then hugging the bunny close to him and saying thank you. Soon enough, the crowd gets up to leave, some of them leaving small donations in a bucket at the front of the stage as they leave. Once they are all out of the tent, Pacifica walks up to the stage where Gideon is talking to his father.

"You did great, Gideon," Mr. Gleeful says, patting his son on the back. "You are on your way to becoming a real star, I'm sure of it!"

Gideon giggles.

"Thanks, Dad! I always do my best!"

He laughs again, picking up the donation bucket and giving it to his father. Mr. Gleeful takes it, thanking his son and then heading backstage.

"So you were finally able to pull off that trick, huh?" Pacifica says when Mr. Gleeful is gone. "Last time you showed me that trick, you were barely able to get the thing out without it getting stuck."

At the sound of her voice, Gideon quickly turns around, his face glowing at the sight of her.

"Pacifica!"

He jumps off the stage and tackles her in a large hug. Pacifica flinches slightly, giving an uneasy laugh as she hugs her only friend back.

"I'm so glad you were able to come!" Gideon exclaims happily. "I was afraid your parents wouldn't let you come, but here you are!"

He takes a step back, pride gleaming in his brown eyes. Pacifica smiles.

"I wouldn't miss it for the world, and I'm glad I was able to see it..."

There is an uneven tone in her voice, a tone that Gideon is easily able to pick up. His smile slowly fades from his face, looking up at her with big eyes.

"Oh no... Did you get into another fight with your parents?"

It takes a moment for Pacifica to reply, her avoiding eye contact and rubbing her arm nervously.

"...Yes. And it was a big one with my dad."

She sighs, feeling all of her emotions coming back up once more. Gideon studies her for a moment, quickly looking backstage for a second.

"I don't think my dad will have too much trouble cleaning up," he says. "Do you want talk about what happened?"

Pacifica says nothing in reply, feeling slightly humiliated at this display of weakness. Gideon is the only person she would even dare tell her problems to, for even though he is just a ten year old, he has a way of giving Pacifica exactly what she needs. Though she rather not bother him with her problems...it was times like these she feels she would go mad if she didn't tell someone.

When she doesn't say anything, Gideon automatically goes up to his dad to tell him he was leaving with a friend. Once his father knew and allowed it, seeing it is Pacifica, they left the tent and headed out towards the woods. They walk for a bit, till they find a good place to settle down and be away from it all, an isolated place where Gideon knew she would be the most comfortable.

"So, tell me what's wrong," he says, sitting down on a flat rock. "And don't leave out any details, Pacifica. I'll know if you are keeping something from me."

Pacifica sighs heavily, leaning back against a tree.

"Where do I even begin? You know how my parents don't like it when I go out on my own, right?"

Gideon nods.

"Well," she continues, swallowing her pride, "they got super upset about it today, saying that I shouldn't be seen with commoners when our big party was coming up soon. My dad confronted me today, saying that I need to be driven if I wanted to go somewhere, and to stay out of the woods..."

She begins to rant on how many limitations her father puts on her, Gideon listening closely to each word that she says. It feels good to have someone listen to her, a huge weight being lifted off her chest.

"He told me he would ground me for the rest of month if I didn't stop disobeying him. And when I told him that I didn't care if he grounded me or not, that he can't control every little thing I do... He threatened to have a personal supervisor follow me everywhere I go, even inside my own mansion!"

Not caring that her dress would get dirty and would distress her mother, Pacifica sits down and hugs her knees close to her, trying to stop the tears from forming.

"After that, I was done and wanted to get away," she says with a chocked up voice. "I ran out, my dad furious and having a butler chase after me. I was able to escape, like always, but I'm afraid when I go back..."

She could not finish her sentence, unable to hold back her tears. She cries, feeling humiliated, Gideon watching her sympathetically.

"Oh Pacifica..."

He comes up to her and hugs her close, comforting her the best he can.

"I know you don't like your parents," Gideon says in a soft voice, "but Pacifica, you gotta stop running away all the time! Shutting people out will not solve your problems. You gotta find a way to fix them, you have to make it work with your parents somehow!"

"...How can I?"

Pacifica lifts up her head, her makeup smeared as she wipes the tears from her eyes.

"My parents are not like yours, Gideon. I can't just tell them what's wrong and they will try to make things better."

She clutches her fists.

"No, my parents will tell me to suck it up and that I need more discipline! They don't care how I feel or how I feel about them. They just want to make sure their reputation is not ruined, and that I turn into a clone of them to keep up that reputation!"

She starts to cry again, where Gideon offers her a Kleenex but refuses.

Inhale, exhale... She takes the time to calm herself down. Gideon stays close to her side.

"...I wish there was more I can do for you, Pacifica," he finally says. "I would offer you to spend the night at my house till things were better, but I know I would only make things worse for you and your parents..."

"I don't care," Pacifica replies bitterly. "At least you are trying to help me rather than control me..."

Memories of her parents' disapproval and disappointment flashes through her mind, causing her thoughts to become darker and darker.

"I...don't know if this will help, but what if I gave you this weird journal I found the other day? It's about the supernatural~"

Pacifica blinks. She turns to face Gideon, who is trying his best to appear positive.

"I found this journal while I was this yard sale with my family," he explains. "I was looking for anything new I could use for my magic show, when it caught my eye. At first I thought it was a just a guide to magic tricks, but it then listed all these strange sightings of monsters and stuff. Plus notes about them too! Knowing that you are into that kind of stuff, I was going to wait and give it to you for your birthday. But since you're so sad..."

His smile grows.

"I think you need it more now than when your birthday comes."

Pacifica's eyes widened, feeling touched by her friend's gesture. Normally, physical gifts meant nothing to her, being meaningless possessions that a few green bills could get her. But this gift that Gideon is offering...it has meaning, where someone took the time and effort to get something for her and knowing it would make her happy.

"...Thanks, Gideon," Pacifica says with a small smile. "This means a lot."

"No problem! Anything for a friend."

Gideon helped her stand up, giving a large hug for support.

"This is why you need to open up more, Pacifica! If you allow yourself to make more friends, they will be helping you just as I am!"

She only smiles in reply, for she knew that there is no way to tell Gideon that not everyone is as innocent and open as he is. Even though he annoyed her the first time they met, Pacifica is very grateful to have him as her friend, and that he made living in Gravity Falls somewhat more bearable.

"We'll have to get the journal from my house," Gideon says. "After that, my parents can give you a ride home, if you want."

"I...appreciate the offer, Gideon," Pacifica replies. "Though I don't want my parents getting mad at your parents for me associating myself with you guys."

She sighs heavily, the two of them began to make their way out of the woods.

"Just have them take me to the mall and I will call for one the servants to come get me. That way I can at least have something that my parents don't know about."

There is a small pause, Gideon having trouble finding the right words to say.

"Well...then at least stay for a bit before you go back. I can have my mom bake us some cookies. Would that cheer you up? They're really good~"

Gideon's enthusiasm caused a laugh to escape from Pacifica.

"That sounds great, but I can't. The longer I'm gone, the worse the eventual punishment is going to be."

"True..."

He let out a small an over-the-top sigh.

"And I was looking forward to looking over the journal with you. Especially at the page where it talks about gnomes, like the ones that kidnapped you to become their queen last summer..."

"Hey! Don't make fun of that!" Playfully, she hits Gideon's arm. "I was not making that up! I really was kidnapped by gnomes, trying to win me over by pretending they were some hot guy!"

"Sure they did, Pacifica. Sure they did..."

"They did! Really!"

With laughs and playful banter, the two of them talk all the way to Gideon's house. The walk only takes twenty minutes, but in that short amount of time, Pacifica feels like a regular girl with no worries looming over her head.
