Pacifica laughed loudly with Dipper, drawing much attention from the other customers. Honestly, he was horrible at coming up with jokes.

"That was HORRIBLE Dipper," she told him grinning. "Like, really, really, bad."

"What?! I think interrupting cows are hilarious," he said, knowing it wasn't.

Pacifica smiled down at her sundae, Mabel had placed a bet with Dipper earlier, if he lost to her he had to take Pacifica out for ice cream and hang out for at least an hour. If he won she would pay him $20. Mabel insisted he purposefully lost to make it seem like he wasn't planning on it anyways. Of course Dipper didn't know she knew this, but Mabel didn't feel right about it without telling Pacifica. And she was glad Mabel told her, she didnt like false hope. Especially from a fantastic dork like him.

Dipper looked at Pacifica as she smiled down at her sundae, the sight making him smile too. Mabel had placed a bet during a game of crochet, he lost and he had to take Pacifica out for ice cream, he won and he got $20 from his sister. He purposefully "lost".

"Hey, Pacifica," he said. "Wanna go to the lake?"

She looked up at him, smiled, then said, "sure."

The two got up and headed out the door. The walk to the lake had little talking. Once they got there they set up a rowboat to take a short trip to a small island in the middle of the lake. They got situated and started on their way.

"Gravity Falls is so beautiful," Pacifica said.

Dipper looked at Pacfica only really focusing on the word 'beautiful' coming from her mouth, "Yeah, you are."

"What?"

"What?" Dipper asked, realizing what he just said. "I was agreeing with you, Gravity Falls is very beautiful."

"Mhmm," she said, eyeing him suspiciously.

Dipper mentally facepalmed himself, watch what you say idiot. You don't even know if she likes you back. He took a deep breath and focused on rowing.

Pacifica laid down in boat, planning on a nap. That didn't work. As soon as she put her head down the boat hit some rock or lake creature and flipped. She easily swam up to the surface, gasping for air when she noticed Dipper wasn't up yet. If he can't swim I swear... How could such an adventurous dork like him not known how to swim? She then dove under the water and spotted his hat and eventually his vest, swimming closer she grabbed hold of them both and starting pulling Dipper up to the surface of the water. Luckily they weren't too far from shore so she got him back to solid ground fairly quickly.

Dipper woke up to a warm feeling against his lips, it felt like when he had saved Mermando except not reverse mouth to mouth this time. Then the coughing came. He felt someone wrap their arms around him, he then realized it was Pacifica. And along with that realization came the one that no one else was around and she just did mouth to mouth to him. He could fell the blush rapidly rise to his cheeks, I really I need to get some swimming lessons... ()

"I was so scared Dipper," Pacifica told him. "I thought you were gone."

"Yeah, sorry," he said pulling away slightly.

Pacifica let go of him looking embarrassed by how she just acted towards him, "You really need to learn how to swim Dipper..."

"Yeah, I know," he said rubbing th back of his neck, while looking up at Pacifica.

How could such a dork like him be so freaking hot? Pacifica thought staring at Dipper.

"Okay, now it's you, why are you staring at me?"

"What? When where you staring at me?" Pacifica asked confused, but also trying to turn the question around.

Dipper blushed. "Um, I didn't mean it like that, I meant to say... uh..." Dipper shut his eyes, took a deep breath and said, "You know what? Who cares? I like you Pacifica Northwest. A lot." He then added, "Enough to stare when you aren't looking..."

Pacifica sat there, a huge smile spread across her face. She looked at Dipper for a moment before leaning forward, placing a hand on his cheek and kissing him, not saving his life with mouth to mouth kiss like before, but a real kiss. She was actually kissing Dipper Pines, her crush since they were 12. She had one of those internal squeal moments right then. When she pulled away Dipper seemed shocked at what just happened, happy but shocked. A smile tugged at the corner of his lips as he put one hand on her waist and another on her cheek as he pulled Pacifica in, kissing her this time, soft and sweet. Pacifica let her eyes slide close, enjoying her moment with Dipper. When he finally pulled away they were both grinning like idiots, then he told her he should probably be heading home, and she agreed she needed to get back to the mansion. He offered to walk her home but she said she didn't want him to go through the trouble. She wanted time to think. So, she walked away, waving at Dipper, smiling, millions of thoughts going through her head. What will my parents say? What will Mabel think? How are we supposed to keep this up when the Pines twins only come for the summer?

But one thought made all her other worries vanish as she tried to solve the almost impossible riddle:

How could such a dork like him steal my heart?
