Not Needed Northwest. ( Dipper X Reader )

The Gravity Falls Laundromat was not at all what I had expected. Then again, I didn't know what to expect.

Most of the store was organized rows of washing machines that needed quarters to operate, all that was left in the store was cold tile floors, peeling wall paper that had random stains
covering it, and a chipped up desk with a broken little bell that one would for service.

I ringed the bell, instead of a ding the sound fell flat with an unsatisfying clank of rusty metal hitting rusty metal.

"Hello?" I asked peering over the desk. Then suddenly a random, but formally dressed, figure popped up. He stuck out his hand for me to shake. Me? I was to busy having a heart attack to shake somebody's hand.

"Waah!" I yelled falling back, The boy behind the counter quickly grabbed the front of my shirt and held it tight, preventing me from falling back. As I steadied myself and he let go, we both began to chuckle.

"I'm Billie Ciph. Help with you what can I? " I felt strange by the way he talked, It wasn't anything I was used to, especially by someone dressed up in a tuxedo in a laundromat .

I took out Pacifica's ticket order and placed it on the desk. "Pickup for the Northwest family." I said, sliding it across the way to him. He picked it up and read it. Then he seemed to peer behind me, I turned to see two people about to enter the Laundromat.

"Give me a minute, I have to go do.... Human time wasting activities."

Before I could stop him, he ducked back under the desk. The two people headed inside the Laundromat and I saw that they were siblings.

"Ayo! I'm Mabel! Are you new here?"
One of the siblings said, placing down a plastic clothes basket that was overflowing with sweaters on top of a washing machine.

"No, I lived here all my life...I just don't go outside much."

"Dipping Sauce! She's shy just like you! Maybe she'll be weird too, then you two will live Happily Ever After!"

The boy 'Dipping Sauce' groaned as he set his own clothes basket on top of a washer, "I'm sorry. Ever since we turned fifteen, Mabel here, has been forcing me to go out with someone. It has gotten to the point of her asking random strangers."

I laughed. "It's totally fine. But Mabel, shouldn't you be worried about who you will meet at the fancy Northwest Ball."

Her eyes widen with glee and she pressed her hands into her cheeks as she squealed. "Eeeeee!" Dipping Sauce sighed, "Did you have to encourage her?"

I giggled and so did he as Mabel began to work on her Laundry with more pep in her step. An unfamiliar voice spoke behind me, "Hi, what can I help you with?" I turned around to see someone new behind the desk.

She definitely wasn't anything like Billie, Instead of a blonde mess of hair that swept over one yellowish eye and a tuxedo top, I was greeted by her brown hair tucked into a bun on top of her head, blue eyes that stood out against her white Gravity Falls Laundromat t-shirt that had a black clip on name-tag.

It said: Hello, my name is Ariel O.Q.

"Well Ariel, I was already getting help from Billie but all I need is to pick up the dress with this ticket." I said pointing to the one I had already set down.

She looked at me skeptically, "No one by the name Billie works here." Then who was I just talking to? I shook my head. "Never mind that then, can I get the dress?"

Her expression softened."Sure, it's in the back, I'll go get it." I smiled at her and she headed to a door adjacent to the washing machines.

"Well, bye girl we met at a Laundry place!" Mabel giggled walking out the door with her basket now full of soaking wet sweaters. "Hope to see you around later!" Dipping Sauce called out as he too, left.

Right before the door closed, something fell from his clothes basket and hit the tiled floor with a small thud. It was a earmuff hat that people wear to warm there head.

"Here's your dress!" Ariel said coming back to the desk, She held up Pacifica's dress that had a shiny plastic cover over top of it to keep it clean. "Thanks!"

I scooped up Dipping Sauce's hat as I headed to the exit. "Well, see you later Ariel!" I called out, waving behind me as I left.

First, I would take the dress back home. Next, I would find where Dipping Sauce lived and return his hat.

I saw Ariel waved back.
