"Mason Pines please report to the principal's office. Again Mason Pines please report to the principal's office." A voice spoke over the intercom.

"Huh, wonder what that's about." Dipper wondered aloud.

"Man its weird hearing your real name every time." Shiro said from across the classroom as he was looking for his seat.

"Wow good job. Never thought I'd hear you get called to the office. What did you do? We just got here and I didn't see you do anything yet." Tiffany asked, pretending to be impressed.

"Yeah right Tiff. Knowing Dipper he's getting roped into planning an event or something." Shiro said. "You know how good he is at those over complicated lists of his."

Mabel and Tiffany started laughing

"Hardy har har." Dipper said getting up "Well I better see what this is all about. I'll tell you guys what it was when I get back. Mabel, watch my stuff for me. You know how those two love to pull pranks."

"You got it Dipper." Mabel replied.

Dipper left the room giving Tiff and Shiro the evil eye. The two just waved and laughed.

. . .

"You wanted to see me Mr. Smith?" Dipper asked shutting the door behind him.

"Yes Dipper come in and sit down." Mr. Smith replied. "I'm very disappointed in you. You have always been one of our best students. I truly can't believe this."

"Wait what did I do?" Dipper asked shooting up from the chair he just sat in.

"Oh I think we both know what you did Mr. Pines now sit back down." Mr. Smith said glaring at Dipper who was still confused but sat back down. He had to be framed or something. "Nothing, you did absolutely nothing."

"Wait what?" Dipper said even more confused now.

"Hahaha. I totally got you." Mr. Smith laughed. "Man it's just too easy. You should have seen your face. Like 'ah no my perfect record. I've been framed'."

"Oh ha ha I get it now." Dipper said finally catching up. "Man you are worse then Tiff and Shiro. So what did you really want?"

"I need a favor." Mr. Smith said finally, composing himself. "You see we have a bit of a late entry for the school this year. She just moved here for her parents work and needs someone to give her a tour of the school. I have a meeting to go to and all the teachers are busy with classes otherwise I would have one of them do it. You are third in the class so it wouldn't hinder you to miss one day. You know your way around because this is your third year here. Also you are probably one of the more responsible students so I know I can trust you to take her around. Finally your schedules are similar so I figured it would be a good chance for her to make a friend."

"Um ok, I guess I can do that." Dipper said

"Great, Send her in." Mr. Smith said. "Thank you Dipper. You are saving my neck. Meet…"

"PACIFICA?" Dipper yelled in surprise.

"DIPPER?" Pacifica yelled in equal surprise.

"So that was you this morning." they both said under their breath in unison.

"What's with the new hat?" Pacifica asked "I almost didn't recognize you."

"Oh great you two are already acquainted." Mr. Smith said with a smile before Dipper had a chance to answer. "Pacifica, Dipper here will be giving you a tour of the school today. I have to leave you to it now or I will be late for my meeting. Have fun you two." He ran out the door leaving them alone in the office.

"Well I guess we should get started." Dipper said. "Well if you couldn't tell this is the Principal's office."

"ugh this is going to be a long day isn't it." Pacifica complained rolling her eyes but smiled afterward. They started laughing, walked out of the room, and started down the hallway. "Man what a coincidence, that you guys are going to the same school I transfer too. What are the odds?"

"Yeah, what are you doing here?" Dipper asked curiously. "Why did you guys leave Gravity Falls. You are the local celebrities there."

"It wasn't my choice" Pacifica said slightly upset. "My parents didn't want the people there to see us living in our current conditions and my dad had to come here until he can close this deal with a client in town we decided it would be the easiest to just live here. After he is paid we are building a house on a hill that was created when the… well never mind all that. The hill happens to now be even taller then McGucket's hill so it's perfect. All we need is money to build it."

"Ah I see" Dipper said. "Well good that you guys are figuring it out. When do you think you will be able to go back?"

"Well they say we should be able to move in next summer." Pacifica answered. "Who knows if that going to happen though. We both know my parents aren't the best decision makers."

"Well at least you will be back in time for high school." Dipper said but then remembered what they were doing. "This is the cafeteria and over there is the gym. We have the Piedmont Park over that way and over there is the front office. Carpool line and busses pick up where they drop off. Any questions?"

"Yes where is classroom 314." Pacifica asked

Dipper guided her through the hallways and showed her the room.

"Ok now how about you just show me all the rooms on this list." Pacifica said handing him her schedule.

"Wow he was right our schedules are similar." Dipper said. "You just have photography instead of keyboarding. Ok so first the science room is…"

The bell rung and people filled the hallways. Pacifica was bumped from behind which almost knocked her over. "Hey watch it you could have made me fall." Pacifica complained. Dipper grabbed Pacifica by the arm and guided her through the crowd to the library.

"Man that's a lot more people then were at the middle school in Gravity Falls." Pacifica remarked.

"Welcome to Piedmont Middle." Dipper said. "No one ever comes in here so we can just wait here for every one to head to their next class. Why don't we just go ahead and check out a book while we have time."

Pacifica looked around. As Dipper said, they were the only ones in the large room except the librarian who was restocking the shelves. Chairs tables and couches were placed around creating many nice places to curl up and read. Dipper walked over to the computer and started making some searches for a good book on monsters while Pacifica looked for a romance novel but picked up a mystery. She started to read the back cover then realized her mistake. It started to look interesting so she scanned the front page. Dipper recognized it immediately.

"I didn't realize you were into mystery novels, Pacifica." Dipper said having crossed the room. "That's a good one though it is hard to believe you haven't read it yet. 'The Westing House' is a classic."

"Oh I don't normally read these things but this one seemed interesting"

"Well then I suggest it." Dipper said. "Although it is a little hard to keep up with if you aren't used to it."

"Oh, it can't be harder then keeping up with the characters in romance novels with old English and subtle changes in personality, like with Jane Austin." Pacifica remarked with confidence. "I'm getting this, how about you?"

"I'm getting reference material for my new journal." Dipper replied showing the small stack of books he had picked out. "The Journals were destroyed by bill so I'm making a new one."

"ugh, more of your creepy monster obsession?" she questioned in disgust. Then looked over her shoulder to make sure the librarian wasn't listening before continuing. "Didn't you have enough of that this summer? If I were you, I would hope I never see another monster again for the rest of my life."

"Well I do hope to never have anymore trouble and right now we are probably safe with the whole Gravity Falls invisible weird wall but I am going to go back this summer if possible. Also there is no telling if there is something around here and we just haven't noticed. Yes the amount of weird creatures won't be as concentrated as Gravity falls but there is always a chance there will be something. I want to be prepared just in case something else happens, whether it's back in Gravity Falls, here in piedmont or in the Bermuda Triangle."

"Well I guess your right but it might be a good idea to tone it down a little." Pacifica advised. "You have all school year and well… I remember how crazy I thought you were before I saw it for myself. Your friends here will probably think the same way and if your friends don't mine certainly will."

"Wait you already made friends?" Dipper asked surprised "When did you have time for that? I thought you just moved here."

"Yeah, Sally, we met this morning." Pacifica replied, leaving out the part about the bus. "Speaking of which no offence but I'm guessing she wont be too pleased if she finds out we know each other. I would appreciate it if you could keep Mabel from causing a scene when she finds out I'm here."

"Of course it's Snobby Sally." Dipper growned. "She is the biggest bully at PMS and she for some reason hates me and Mabel's guts. Why should I help you get on her good side? Getting her approval isn't worth anything."

"Well you see I have her right in the palm of my hand." Pacifica bragged. "I'm almost the new top dog of her group. If you help me I could… I don't know… stop her from bullying you and probably your friends too."

"Seriously?" Dipper said disbelievingly, "You only met this morning and she's already in the palm of your hand? Man your social skills are scary."

"Yes but, Dipper." Pacifica pleaded. "If this is going to work then they can't know we are friends."

Dipper wanted to complain but this was the first time Pacifica had called him a friend. "I don't understand why you have to be at the top everywhere you go but I'll help you."

"Thank you Dipper," Pacifica said smiling but then her expression changed to an impish grin. "So please keep Mabel away from me and try not to do anything weird that would make them bully you."

Dipper shot her a look but she already turned around and went to check out.

. . .

"Ok, Pacifica its lunch time." Dipper announced "Let's see if you remember how to get to the cafeteria."

"Duh it's right behind us." Pacifica said rolling her eyes. "While my memory isn't photographic I can remember places after only going there once so no need for silly tests."

"Ok, ok I'll stop." Dipper conceded. "I figure since we don't want to be seen together you let me go in first. I'll warn Mabel so she doesn't make a scene and then you go in. Sally and her groupies should be in there already knowing my luck. Afterwards we meet back up in the library. We still have two or three more classrooms to find."

"Ok sounds good," Pacifica agreed.

"Dipper there you are!" Mabel yelled from down the hall way. "I've been lugging this bag everywhere looking for you. What have you…" She trailed off after noticing he wasn't alone and stood there for a second just staring. Then just as she was about to say something Dipper jumped forward and covered Mabel's mouth before she could yell again.

"Ok Mabel so I need you to just listen for a moment and please don't yell ok?" Dipper said quickly. Mabel didn't respond but Dipper suddenly removed his hand and shouted "Ew, come on seriously Mabel? Why did you lick me? Gross!"

"Dipper you explain it to her I'm going in first before someone else comes by ok?" Pacifica interjected and hurried off.

"Dipper what is going on?" Mabel interrogated "why I she here? Why did you cover my mouth? Why did Washington cross the Delaware? What is nougat in candy bars and why does it taste so good?" Mabel franticly asked getting way off track as usual.

"Look I understand you are confused Mabel but breath and I will explain." Dipper said trying to calm her down. "Now the short version is Pacifica just transferred here and we are going to act like we don't know her. You should remember that from history class and finally I don't know what it is but it tastes good so I don't care. I can fill you in on everything else after school. Right now I need food, Sound good?"

Mabel nodded but still had lots of questions. "Yeah ok fine but you will tell me everything later."

"Thanks for watching my book bag for me." I really appreciate it.

"It's fine you would have done the same thing." Mabel replied handing the bag back to Dipper.
