Stranded Love

Chapter 1

Dipper woke up alone on the beach. It was the sudden splash of salty water in his face that jolted him awake coughing for air. As Dipper took in his surroundings, he saw nothing but white beach sand and palm trees leading into some kind of jungle. Dipper slowly got up as looked towards the sea. He was stranded on an island. He desperately tried to keep himself calm as he tried to remember how he got into this situation in the first place.

His memories slowly come back to him from the beginning. Pacifica had invited both Mabel and Dipper to a cruise on her family's business owned cruise ship this summer.

At first, they were going to decline, but Pacifica convinced them when she allowed them to bring any of their other friends. She was able to have six guests total and with Dipper and Mabel going, that left four spots open.

Of course, Mabel knew right away and immediately invited Candy and Grenda to come along. The girls giggled in excited anticipation the whole week before the trip.

But during that week, Dipper had trouble wondering who exactly he should invite. At least until he thought about his ex crush and best friend Wendy. Wendy said a couple of times she wanted to get out of Gravity Falls for the summer. And Dipper wouldn't mind seeing her in a bikini either. Of course, when he finally gave her the news, Wendy was ecstatic of the invitation. She always wanted to go on a trip somewhere tropical. When he told her that he had one more open invitation, it was then that she actually begged Dipper to allow her friend Tambry to be his last guest. Dipper knew they were childhood best friends so it didn't surprise him. They always talked about going away somewhere together. But another reason was the sudden break-up with Robbie. Turns out the love potion Mabel used on them wasn't as permanent as they had thought.

It didn't take much begging from Wendy to get Dipper to agree to Tambrys invitation. He had to face it, he still had a soft crush on her.

The rest of the week was full of excitement for the girls who could talk about nothing else but the plans they had for during the cruise. But of course, somebody particular had to make his check lists to make sure not only the he had everything he would need, but the girls as well to their slight annoyance. Passports, ID's, spending money, emergency funds, swimsuits, beach gear, and much more. The list went on and on.

Unfortunately, a huge hitch in everyones plans and Dipper's checklist occurred when Grenda suddenly had to cancel her trip with them. Turns out, she got an invite from her foreign prince boyfriend to go meet him in his country. A rare opportunity that she couldn't turn down.

Everyone understood and the spot was filled by Waddles! It took Mabel some convincing for Pacifica to allow a pig to come. But in the end, nobody could win against Mabel when it came to her adorable pet pig.

When the time came to leave, Pacifica picked everyone up in her personal limo to head for the airport to take her family's private jet to Texas. Where they then got on the cruise ship that was headed for the Caribbean, in the harbor where their journey begins.
