Here's the first chapter of the second fic of my Wendip/Mabifica trilogy! Hope you like it.
NOTE: I decided to update it because I thought this was more "Dipper-like".
DISCLAIMER: I don't own Gravity Falls.
Chapter 1- The Question
Dipper's POV
I nervously checked everything; my button-up and khakis freshly pressed, my hair was neatly combed, and finally, the small velvet box rested in my pocket.
As I stared at myself in the mirror, I inhaled deeply.
You can do this, Dipper.
I grabbed my keys and drove my car to Wendy's log cabin. After ringing the doorbell, Wendy answered the door wearing jeans and a red flannel. I kissed her.
"Happy Anniversary, Wendy."
"Happy Anniversary, Dipper."
We drove to a restaurant where we ate our meal retelling old memories. All of the best moments of 12 and 15 year old us, college-us, and recently. After our meal, I drove us back to her cabin.
We held hands as we walked through the dark forest, the stars illuminating our path.
"Look, it's a full moon tonight," I said, pointing to the glowing sphere in the sky.
We made it to a clearing by the lake. The water sparkled in the moonlight and fireflies lingered around us.
"It's beautiful…" Wendy took in her surroundings.
"Just like you." I smiled.
"Oh you dork!" She playfully smacked me in the shoulder.
We stood by the water. "Can you believe it? We've been dating for 5 years already… Wow…" my wonderful girlfriend said.
I made sure to find a spot where you can see a lot of stars.
"Thank you for the extra effort to make this night special."
"Anything for you, Wendy."
I pulled her in for another kiss before kneeling down on one knee.
She suddenly opened her eyes wide and shaking her head, she exclaimed, "No! No, no, no!"
My face dropped. I stared disbelief. All my confidence drained out of me.
Just as I was about to stand up, she realized what she said and put her hand over her mouth. "Wait! Keep going! Sorry, keep going, babe!" She made a beckoning motion.
I continued as if nothing had happened.
"Wendy Corduroy, you have made my life worth living. I could go on forever about how much I need you in my life and how much I love you. When we first met, I had a 12 year-old's idea of a summer crush on you, but now I'm head over heels in love with you. I've been dying to ask you this…" Her eyes were welling up with tears as I opened the little velvet box. "Wendy, will you marry me?"
"Y-yes!" She replied, shaking.
I got up and hugged her.
"I love you so much, Wendy."
"I love you too, Dipper Pines." She pressed her lips against mine.
I slid the diamond ring on her left ring finger.
"Now everyone knows I'm yours."
I pulled back a couple of branches to reveal a candle-lit picnic with a pot of chocolate fondue. A plate full of strawberries, marshmallows, bananas, and pound cake.
"Nothing beats getting engaged and then having fondue! It's like a dream…"
"Everyday is a dream with you."
"Do you like to research this stuff or something? How do you always know what to say?" She snuggled closer to me.
"Because it's the truth."
"I love you."
"I love you, too." We shared a quick kiss.
"Oh, yeah! I'm so sorry about earlier, I just was in disbelief. It was an exclamatory 'no', not an answer."
"It's ok, it just took me off guard. I love you anyways."
"Aw, I love you too, Dipper."
Wendy and I stood up in front of our families. "Wendy and I have an announcement to make…"
She showed her hand. "We're engaged!" We smiled wide, beaming.
"OH. MY. GOSH! Ohmygoshohmygoshohmygosh! Dipper and Wendy are getting married!" Mabel squealed.
"Well done, boy!" Great Uncle Ford clapped.
"I knew you had it in you!" Grunkle Stan slapped me in the back.
Everyone congratulated us. "My little boy is engaged!" Mom rushed in to give me a hug.
Manly Dan couldn't contain his emotions so he decided to bear hug me instead.
For the rest of the night, everyone was celebrating.
