Dipper's Five Shades of Pacifica p2

The blue Pacifica hung her head in shame. "I'm sorry about this, Dipper. We didn't know where else to go."

The red Pacifica crossed her arms glaring at Dipper. "You can fix us, right? Right?!"

The grey one seemed to shiver for a moment in fear. "Please, please, please, please tell me you can fix us!! I don't think I can live like this!!"

The yellow Pacifica just smiled taking in her surroundings. "It's not so bad. Think of all the fun we can have with FIVE of us!! You can't tell me that doesn't sound appealing!"

The Pacifica hugging Dipper now sat up, never once taking her eyes off Dipper. "Dipper is the only thing that sounds appealing to me."

Before she could lunge at him he jumped out of the way. "Okay, HOLD IT!! What is going on?! Why is there five of you?!"

"Well you see..." the grey one began. "I...er...we...how's this work?"

"I got this." Chirped the yellow Pacifica. "When we were one Pacifica, we went for a walk in the woods to clear our head. That's when we met an old gypsy woman, she sold us a potion to help deal with our emotional problems and now there is five of us."

"Wait. Gypsy woman?" Dipper cut in.

"Yeah." chided the blue Pacifica. "I'm sorry, the first thing we did was trying to find her but we couldn't. I'M SORRY!!!"

Dipper walked out on to the porch looking them once over. "Hmmm..." he circled around them until his back was facing the forest. "So second thing you did was to try to come to me? Why not go to your parents first?"

"Oh yeah, like we could really go home LIKE THIS!! I thought you were supposed to be smart!!" The red Pacifica retorted.

Dipper frowned. Her words hurt, not just because they were mean but because they were true too. In retrospect it did sound like a pretty stupid question.

"Oh don't mind her Dipper!" the yellow one sympathized. "She's just mad because...well that's her emotion!"

"Emotion? Wait! You said she took it to deal with her emotional problems so that means..."

"Bingo!!" The yellow Pacifica pushed her finger against his nose. "You got it in one!! We each represent an emotional problem of her's. I'm Happy!" Happy pointed over to the red Pacifica. "She's Anger. Or Enraged Pacifica as we like to call her."

"I'm just glad we didn't get split SEVEN ways or else we'd probably get a DOC AND DOPEY TOO!!!" hollered Anger.

"Like I said, 'Don't mind her'." Happy pointed over to the baby blue Pacifica. "She's Remorse. After all we did in the past there was no way she couldn't be here."

"I'M SORRY!!!" blurted Remorse. "Both for everything I did in the past AND not explaining this sooner. Sorry!!"

Then Happy pointed at the grey Pacifica. "And the twitchy one is Fear."

"Should we really this close to the woods? Bad things live in the woods!" shuddered Fear.

"Great listening ears so far." lilted Happy. "And might I say, you are rocking that hat!"

"Oh yeah." A voice said from behind Dipper. "He's rocking that hat so hard!"

Dipper jumped forward a little bit to turn around and see the Hot Pink Pacifica smiling at him. "What about that one?!"

The other four Pacificas seemed to blush at the question.

"Oh um...that's Affection." explained Fear.

Dipper pulled on his collar as 'Affection' started to bat her eyelashes at him. "So like...affection in general?"

"I'm sorry, but no." answered Remorse.

"It's affection towards you." added Happy.

"Who?" Dipper started to back away from the pressing Pacifica.

"Oh for the love of..." Anger slapped her forehead. "You!" She pointed at Dipper only to have him look behind himself. "No. You! Not the imaginary person behind you. YOU!"

Out from one of the bushes behind Dipper, rose Soos. He looked at the children with a hurt expression on his face. "I'm not imaginary..."

He walked off sadly and after a moment or two Remorse quickly chased after him. "SOOS!!! WAIT!! COME BACK, I'M SORRY!!!"

Before Remorse could get too far, Fear tackled her to the ground. "DON'T SEPARATE US!!! WHO KNOWS WHAT COULD HAPPEN!!!"

Normally Dipper would be trying to play peacekeeper in such a scene but he was currently distracted with the flirtations of Affection.

"Really? Affection for me? How?"

"Well you helped us become a better person, liked us without caring about our money or political placement...so yeah!" Happy chirped. "Feeling good about you, Dipper. Oh you also play a mean game of croquet. Can't forget that!"

The other Pacificas seemed to nod in agreement while Dipper started to back away from Affection. "Croquet? Really? I mean I enjoyed playing with you too, but did it really leave that big of an impression?"

"Well considering you're the only one in this whole town who can even SPELL croquet, let alone play it? Yes. It helped. Congrats." snipped Anger.

"Well how long have these 'feelings' for me been there?!"

"Oh Dipper..." she started to twirl her finger in his sleeve. "Don't you know I've always been 'pine'ing for you?"

"Uggh!" Dipper facepalmed. "That was the worst joke using my last name that I've ever heard."

"I like the energy though!" cheered Happy. "But maybe you should leave the jokes to me."

"Dipper?" he heard Mabel's voice from inside the Shack. "What's going on out hee-AAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!!!"

"Hi Mabel!" greeted Happy.

"Five Pacificas!! Why are there Five Pacificas?!"

"Do we REALLY need to go over this again?!" snapped Anger.

"I'll handle this. You five stay put!" as Dipper lead Mabel back in to the house, Affection sighed dreamily. "He cares so much..."

_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

After a couple of minutes Dipper and Mabel walked back out to the five Pacificas.

"Hi Pacifica...s. Sorry about earlier." Mabel rubbed the back of her neck awkwardly.

"No I'm the one who should be sorry! We should've waited for both you instead of just..."

"It doesn't matter!" Anger cut in. "So did you guys talk it out or what?!"

"We're going to help you change back in to one Pacifica!" announced Dipper.

"And by 'we' you mean yourself, right? I bet you do! You're a smart boy. So smart..." Affection winked at him.

Mabel looked at Affection, then at Dipper, then back at Affection. "Wait...she..."

"Mabel!" Dipper warned.

"And you..."

"Not again!"

"EEEEK!! Yes!! I call bridesmaid!!" Mabel cheered.

"I call bride!!" Affection cheered.

"This isn't looking good." Dipper noted.

"FOCUS PEOPLE!!" Anger roared. "Please continue Dipper."

"Huh. I got a 'please' out of that one." Dipper tipped his hat to her in which she blushed in response. "Anyways, I'm going to try to get you back in to one Pacifica. Problem is since I don't know how long that is going to take you're going to have to stay in the Shack with me and Mabel. Soos has a pretty large break room, we can probably convince him to let you borrow it. So, any questions?"

Happy raised her hand.

"Yes. Happy, you have a question?"

"Yes. I like your hat."

"That...is not a question."

"Hey!" snapped Affection. "I like his hat even more! I liked his hat before you even noticed it!!"

"Shut up!! We are ALL the SAME Pacifica!! We all like his hat exactly the SAME amount!!" thundered Anger.

"Oh boy." deadpanned Dipper. "This is going to be a tough one."
