"We're lost aren't we Dipper?" Pacifica asked for what seemed like the 50th time in the past hour.

"No..." Dipper replied. "Maybe..."

"Yes," Pacifica said annoyed at her friend's lack of navigational skill. "You should have let ME carry the map. We might have actually been back by now."

"Oh, like you would've done better."

"Yes, I would have, idiot."

"Excuse me, who's the one who got perfect grades all semester?" Dipper asked. "And who's the one that I helped tutor? And which one is calling the other 'idiot'?"

Pacifica's face went red with anger. "FINE! I'll find the shack myself. Good riddance." With that she stomped away from Dipper, deeper into the woods.

Dipper stood watching her for a moment, thinking about the odds of her surviving much longer than an hour in the woods. He decided they weren't good odds and called out to her, "Pacifica, stop."

"Nope! I'm going to find my back, without YOU!"

"Pacifica, is that time of the month or something?" Dipper asked. "Because you're being ridiculous."

"No, it's not 'that time of the month', I just hate you right now!" She said with mock cheerfulness, still stomping away not looking his direction.

Dipper, seeing she wasn't going to reason with him, ran after her. When he was about 5 feet away she stopped abruptly, about to turn to him, when he tripped tumbling into her making them both tumble down a steep hill. After about 20 seconds of rolling into thorns, roots, rocks and over all getting very scratched up, they landed at the bottom of the hill.

Dipper groaned at the weight on his chest, opening his eyes to find a dazed Pacifica laying across his torso. Too beat up to think too much about it, Dipper laid his head back down in the dirt and passed out

Pacifica finally came back to her senses somewhat and rubbed her head until she realized she was laying across Dipper and a bright pink found it's way to her cheeks, and a small squeak to her mouth. She then checked his pulse, breathing a sigh of relief at the fact that he was just passed out, and a groan thinking about having to carry him.

Pacifica got up and lifted Dipper up a bit before deciding she wouldn't be able to successfully get him back to the shack without severely hurting herself. At least while he was out. So, she walked around trying to see if there was any food or water source she could find for the two of them. After not finding anything she gave up and went back to Dipper who had finally woke up, and by the looks of it, he just recently did so. She ran over and hugged him.

"I'm sorry, I was being stupid. I probably can't navigate these woods without you, I'd get lost in 10 minutes flat," Pacifica said with a light laugh.

"I'm sorry too, I shouldn't have been so mean about the whole tutoring thing," he said, hugging her back.

They got lost in the hug for a minute then realizing they were still hugging they pulled away, both blushing like crazy.

"We should probably find out way home now." Dipper suggested.

"Yeah, let's get going."
