"Take My Hand"

CHAPTER 1

Dipper Pines sat at the bank of Giggle Creek wondering what he should do next. Wendy and Soos abandoned him after falling to the allure of having their fantasies becoming real. He began assessing the situation like he always did when he had a problem, he began talking to himself.

"Maybe Mabel's right. It's a horror show out there. At least the air here is breathable."

A familiar voice comes from behind.

"Dude, you're talking to a river."

Dipper turns to see Wendy.

"Oh, hey, Wendy." Dipper says disappointingly. "I thought you were busy wrecking the school or whatever."

Wendy sits next to him.

"Yeah, that got old quick, and this music is really starting to get on my nerves. I think that stuff you said about this place is right."

"Really?" Dipper says surprisingly and also quite relieved that he's no longer alone in this. "Now we just need a plan."

"Don't worry. You always think of something." Wendy says, skipping a stone across the creek.

"You know," Wendy says, "you're so much smarter than like, everyone else. It's kind of funny. If you were older, you would be, like, my dream guy."

This surprises Dipper more than anything. He can't believe what he is hearing, but it is something he always wanted to hear.

"Wait. Do you REALLY mean that?" He asks.

"Wait a minute." Wendy says as an epiphany hits her. "In this place, you can be any age you want. If we were the same age, maybe you and me could, I don't know, actually be together."

Dipper is shocked. He can't believe what is happening or what she is saying. It is something he always dreamt about after coming to Gravity Falls and laying eyes on her for the very first time.

"Wait. REALLY?" He asks.

Wendy gets up excitedly. "I bet if we ask Mabel, she can do it right now! In this place it can finally be just you and me! C'MON MAN!"

She turns towards Dipper and reaches out her hand. "Just take my hand." She smiles and gives him a wink.

Dipper decides he can't pass this up. This could be his only chance with her. He smiles and reaches out his hand. Wendy helps him up and gives him a passionate kiss. They smile at each other as they walk towards Mabel's tower hand in hand.

"Good luck, you two lovebirds!" the Stuffed Animal Tree says as the stuffed animals cheer and wave goodbye.
