(Pacifica's P.O.V.)

(Saturday, June 20th, 2015)(The Northwest Mansion, Gravity Falls, Oregon)

SPLASH!!!

"UGH!!!" I groaned. "DAD!!!"

I was completely drenched. My father laughed as he broke through the surface of the water.

"C'mon, Pacifica," he said. "Have a little bit of fun."

"I was having fun, before I was soaked by a tidal wave," I sassed.

I dismissed my father and turned to the maid.

"Sylvia, get my friend and I something to eat."

"Do you have any preferences, Miss Northwest?" She asked.

I thought about it.

"Surprise me."

She smiled and left.

"Has Robbie texted you back yet?"

I turned to Gideon, who sat in the pool chair beside me.

"Not yet," I answered.

I reached down into my beach bag and pulled out my cell phone.

"Ooh!" I squealed. "I just got a new message!"

"Read it to me ! What does it say?!" Gideon nagged.

"Hold on!"

I opened the text and studied it carefully.

"The boy is suspicious of me," I read aloud.

Gideon sighed.

"Well, I think we all knew that was inevitable," he told me. "Dipper's suspicious of everyone."

I quickly typed out another message to Robbie.

"Watch him, but at a safe distance. We don't want him figuring out our plan too early."

I sent it, then gently placed my phone back in my bag.

"So," I said, turning back to Gideon. "What's the next step in our master plan?"

He rubbed his hands together.

"We need to gain the trust of the people around him. We don't want anyone on his side. Even if he finds out about what we're doing and tells everyone, no one will help him."

"Ahhh," I agreed. "We'll make it seem like it's just one of his crazy conspiracies."

"Exactly."

I thought about it.

"That's going to be difficult," I told him.

"I know, but I think we can do it."

He picked his backpack up off of the ground and pulled out a piece of paper and a pen. He began to write down the names of Dipper's friends and family, and our names.

"There are three main people that would do anything to help Dipper. Stanford, Mabel, and Wendy. I will work on Stanford, you will work on Mabel, and Robbie will work on Wendy."

He used the pen to connect each of us with our assigned person. I nodded.

"And as soon as we've gained their trust..."

He wrote Dipper's name on the bottom in capital letters, then crossed it out with a large "X".

"...we can strike."
