Since then Dipper had a pretty rough day with the five Pacificas, by which one would mean he had to play 'Hide The Pacifica From Gruncle Stan'. He had a couple of close calls, including one where Affection tried to pull him in to the closet with her he was hiding her in, but thankfully he was able to pull it off with help from Mabel.

Time had past and Dipper still hadn't found anything in the journal to help the Pacificas. He chewed on his pen in thought as he continued to flip through the book. "There has to be something in here that can help..."

"Um...Dipper?"

Dipper jumped at the sound of the very meek voice asking for attention. He put his book down to see Remorse staring up at him with puppy dog like eyes.

"Oh it's just you Remorse. You scared me."

"I'm sorry!!"

"Forget about it, you probably saved me from popping another pen. Do you need something?"

"Um the others were talking about ordering out for pizza. We were wondering if you wanted any toppings?"

Dipper clicked his pen repeatedly in thought. "Cheese and peperoni always worked just fine for me."

"Okay then..." Remorse brushed some hair behind her ear. "Cheese and peperoni it is."

"Wait, Remorse..."

Remorse froze in her tracks.

"Did the others make you come up here to ask me? I'd hate to think they'd bully you in to something you weren't comfortable with."

Remorse turned to him to reveal her blushing face. "OOh no. I'm sorry, you see we all drew straws. I'm sorry but I won."

Dipper rubbed the back of his neck. "Oh well that's different then."

"Yeah..." Remorse suddenly turned around and ran out of the room sputtering "I'msorrybutIshouldreallyinformtheothersBYE!!"

As Dipper watched her go the gears in his head couldn't help but process some new information. "Wow! Pacifica can actually be...shy."

____________________________________________________________________________________

As soon as Dipper reached the bottom of the stairs he heard a group scream coming from the kitchen. Running in to the kitchen he found the five blondes cowering together in a huddle in the corner.

"What is it? What's going on?!"

"A RAT!!!" Fear screamed.

"And it couldn't just be any ordinary rat, OH NO THAT'D BE TOO NICE!!!" shouted Anger.

"It's some kind of SUPER RAT!!! Dipper make everything better, PLEASE!!!" sobbed Affection.

"Dipper, you can save us right?! You're good at that!" panicked Happy.

"I'm sorry, Dipper!! But do you think you could get rid of the Super Rat?!" begged Remorse.

Said 'Super Rat' was actually an Opossum, it did seem quite vicious though. It hissed at the cornered girls which caused them to scream again.

Dipper actually let out a sigh of relief, he was imagining it to be something so much worse. He walked over to the kitchen closet and started digging through it for a broom, the 'Super Rat' didn't even seem to notice him.

One hit from the push broom was all it took to get it's attention. "Come on, move it along."

It hissed at him only to get baps from Dipper. "Hiss all you like but you know this isn't where you wanna be."

A couple of more hits from the broom chased the vermin right out of the house. It stopped only once to hiss at Dipper before running in to the woods.

"And don't come back!! Everything alright now girls? Just so you know, that wasn't really a rat. It was an-ACK!!!"

Dipper got cut off by a flying Pacifica tackle hug, but unlike last time it didn't come from Affection, this one came from Fear.

"Thank you!! Thank you!! Thank you!! I was so scared!!"

The awkwardness of the hug just seemed to evaporate after Fear told him this. However, before he could comfort her on this, the awkwardness flooded back in with a different voice.

"Hey!!" Affection snapped. "If anyone is supposed to give him hugs like that, it's me!!"

"We're all the same Pacifica, deary." chimed Happy.

"That's besides the point!! She isn't even hugging him properly, it's supposed to be done like this!!" Affection's tackle hug, unlike last time, seemed more like a body slam this time.

"OOF!!" was the only sound of protest Dipper could make as the wind got knocked out of him. However, he couldn't really pay it that much attention since Affection was cuddling him again.

"I'm sorry!!" Remorse cut in. "But I need to hug him too!!"

"Wait! No-OOF!!"

"GROUP HUG!!" cheered Happy.

"Oh come o-OOF!!"

"What am I?! Chopped liver?!"

"Et tu Anger? OOF!!"

Dipper was stuck in a mass of blonde cuddling terror, which was of course a perfect time for Mabel to come back.

"I'm back from the video stor...whoa! What happened here?"

"Mabel, help me!!"

"Dipper?! Are you in there?!"

Dipper managed to shoot his arm up and out from the globs of Pacifica.

"I swear..." Mabel walked in to the kitchen. "I leave the house for half an hour and they swarm on you!"

Dipper saw a bright flash followed by the sounds of Mabel saying "Scrapbook-ortunity!!"

"MABEL!!! You're not helping!!"

"Sorry Dipping-sauce!" Mabel reached down and pulled Dipper out and away from the protesting Pacificas.

"Alright everyone! I got our movie so in the living room, screening time starts in five minutes!!"

The Pacificas seemed almost reluctant to do so until Dipper uttered a single word. "Please?"

This was all it took to get them to agree and walk peacefully in to the next room. Well, almost all of them...

"Affection!! Give me back my hat!!" snapped Dipper.

"It's my hat now! If you want it back you'll have to come get it!"

"Don't think I won't!"

"Promises! Promises!"

Dipper made several grabs for it but Affection always made sure to keep it out of his reach. When it was almost within reach, Dipper accidentally slipped and pushed her. Fumbling backwards Affection flailed her arms about wildly in a desperate attempt for balance, she thought for sure she was in for a rough landing...but it never came. She opened her eyes to see Dipper staring back at her, he was holding her with both hands, his arms holding her at an angle.

For a change Affection blushed like all the others normally did...but it didn't last. She brought her hand up to Dipper's cheek and caressed it.

"My, Dipper. Who knew you were so good at...dipping."

Whatever blush Dipper had on his face had given way to the terrible pun once again using his name. "Sigh. Your welcome."

"Scrapbook-ortunity!!" someone cried. There was another bright flash which blinded Dipper; but to avoid dropping Affection he held her closer which made her all the more happy.

Now back on her feet, Affection put Dipper's hat back on his head. "Here, you earned this." she said with a wink.

"Dipper!!" Mabel cried. "Get in here, you're missing the movie!!"

He adjusted his hat and followed Affection in to the living room.

"What movie did you get anyways?" asked Dipper.

"Just something everyone with enjoy..."

Dipper rolled his eyes, if it was about those high school boys again he was going back to the journal.

"Bruce Lee vs the Wolfman!!"

"Wow!" Dipper was impressed. "I've always wanted to see this one!! Good job, Mabel!"

"Actually, I've always wanted to see this too so it was my suggestion!" added Happy.

Dipper sat down on the floor next to Mabel who handed him a slice of pizza.

"When did pizza get here?"

"While you were doing the tango with Affection."

"I was not..." before Dipper could finish, Affection laid her head on his lap and continued to watch the movie. "Sigh. It's futile to try and fight this, isn't it?"

"Afraid so, bro bro."

"Your fangs will be no match for my fist!!" declared the tv. "AAAAAAAAGH!!! YOU ARE EATING MY HAND A LOT!!!"

"EEEEEK!!" Fear screamed as she leaped on to Dipper's body.

The boy blushed but his eyes also became half lidded. "This whole adventure is going to limit my mobility, isn't it?"

"...Your warm Dipper." commented Fear.
