Hey everybody! Natflash here!
Ready for a series of Oneshots that you probably heard a million times?
WELL THIS TIME, YOU'RE WRONG!
This is a series of oneshots that's going to be around my new favorite AU, Celestial Falls.
If you don't know what that is, basically, it's when Dipper and Mabel are rulers of Gravity Falls, Dipper being Luna and Mabel being Celestia.
So hope that clears things up!
*Small Warning: The first chapter is Wendip. So… yeah…*
I don't own Gravity Falls or MLP:FiM. Those lucky privileges belong to Alex Hirsch and Lauren Faust/Hasbro's.

Summary: Dipper finds solace from his lonliness in a certain red head...
Rating: K+
Dipper once again looked out in depression over Gravity Falls Oregon from his huge, marble palace he shared with his sister. Once again, he raised the moon, and almost immediately, everyone shut themselves away. He felt the cool, night wind blow from the North, setting his blue cape a flutter. It seemed to always move on its own, with its blue majesty and light blue trim, held together by his silver moon clasp. His navy, almost black clothes signified royal power, hiding his dark blue wings. His brown hair was ruffled for a moment, exposing his Big Dipper birthmark for a second. Noticing this, he adjusted his small, black crown, laced with diamonds, his outfit totally differencing from the sunny yellow and shimmering white of his sister.
It was quite depressing for the pre-teen. He tried consulting Mabel about it, but she only passed it of as people needing their sleep. What was the point of making the sky so pretty if no one was awake to enjoy it?
He would normally just be upset, but then trudge off to the watch tower for his shift at night, but something felt different this time.
He felt even more alone than usual.
Mabel had Mermando, a Prince from the Crystal Empire, and he would see them in Mabel's room talking or kissing.
Who did Dipper have?
No one.
He wanted to know the feeling of being loved by someone, not just your overly silly sister.
He made it to the top of the watch tower, noticing the telescope in the same place as always. He leaned over the railing, tracing his fingers along the golden bars. He glanced out around the city he ruled, looking over the rooftops and smoking chimneys of the people, occasional streetlights here and there. Something did catch his eye, though.
A small, almost dim flicker of light. Light.
Someone was still awake.
Dipper, in pure glee, unfurled his wings, knocking the telescope slightly, making him wince at the sound that seemed to spread throughout the land.
But everyone was still asleep, despite the sound, making the young Prince of darkness sigh in relief as he unfurled his wings more cautiously.
Without a sound, he carefully navigated and flew throughout the buildings, feeling the rush of the wind and adrenaline through his veins. Softly, without disturbing anyone, he silently landed on the roof, furling his wings, and, quietly as possible, made his way to the window with the light. He knocked over a roof tile, making it fall to the ground, inwardly cursing himself for being so clumsy.
The light seemed to move around, until it finally reached the doorway of the house, creaking open silently, until a figure in a black hood emerged, and cautiously looked around. It, with the lantern, slowly closed the door behind it, and ran off behind a dark alleyway.
Dipper, his curiosity peaked, spread his wings and flew silently behind the target, dodging buildings and clothes lines. It went on like this for a few moments, Dipper nearly getting caught one time, until the hooded figure finally made its destination: a large, grassy field near an apple orchard.
Dipper quickly hid in a nearby apple tree, folding his wings, watching the figure intently. The figure gently placed the lantern down on the ground, and undid its hood to reveal the owner of both.
'Wendy' Dipper thought, not caring that a small streak of red had found its way to his cheeks.
He had secretly been harboring a crush on the girl, although Mabel was the only other person who knew about this, and constantly tried to play matchmaker between the two.
The reason he liked her so much was because girls just saw the boy as a way to gain money and power, and just thought of him as nothing more than an adorable, cute ticket to stardom.
Wendy, though, saw him as he was, and understood his plight for understanding. She saw him as kind, sweet, loving, and clever, and never bribed him to marry her (unlike some other blond girl).
Dipper found himself at a cross road. He couldn't leave now, that would make her suspicious, and might make her think he's a stalker. He didn't know if he could speak with her, or just make a break for it.
Before he could stop himself, he found himself saying "Beautiful night tonight, hmm?"
Wendy jumped and turned around, staring at the boy curiously.
"Prince Dipper! I, uh, I was just-"
"Please," Dipper said, getting to the ground in a quite inelegant fashion- falling. "Call me Dipper."
"Alright-y then, P- Dipper. Were you following me? What're you doing here?"
"I could ask the exact same thing to you."
Wendy found herself speechless for a moment, unable to respond to how the young Man in the Moon reflected her conversation so quickly. Then she remembered that Dipper was the 'Brains' of the duo rulers, and quickly found her words again. "I just… I like it out here. Just me and the moon. I like the night."
Dipper honestly thought he would pass out then and there, but he found the strength to sit down in the grass next to Wendy, and stare up at the night he created all the time. He was going to drift off next to Wendy, but he found something tickling his nose. He stared cross-eyed at the little lightning bug finding solace on his nose.
He soon noticed thousands of these lightning bugs dancing and illuminating the sky around him. He found an odd sort of euphoria around them, and he loved this field for that reason. He flew over here occasionally, and the display of fireflies always took his breath away.
But tonight, sitting next to Wendy, he found a sort of… strange feeling of … love. He wanted to try something like this for a while, but never got the chance.
He slowly, but very gently, unfurled a wing and gently placed it on the auburns shoulder. She jumped a bit in surprise, but soon calmed down.
He smiled at himself, watching the fireflies dance around, noticing it becoming lighter out.
"My sister must be raising the sun." The young Prince said, standing up, almost regretting not being able to keep the night longer. "I'm probably needed there." He was about to take off when he heard "Wait!" and a small pain coming from his left.
He turned around and found Wendy gently pulling on his wings, accidently pulling out a navy feather. She let out a small gasp in horror, but Dipper only smiled.
"It's alright. You have no idea how much Mabel does that to me." Wendy giggled slightly, and Dipper turned around to hide the sea of red taking over his cheeks.
"Can… I see you later at night?" Dipper offered, unsure if Wendy even wanted to see him again. She laughed and said.
"Of course, silly. Love you." She did the unthinkable.
She pecked him right on the check.
Dipper had to fly away as fast as possible so Wendy couldn't see his flustered face. A tsunami of emotions hurled at him as soon as he took off.
She kissed him. She actually kissed him on the cheek.
A wave of ecstasy and enjoyment crashed into him, making him feel less lonely on his way back to the castle. He landed gently by the watch tower, and quickly made his way down the stairs, hoping not to be seen.
"Hey Bro!"
So much for not being seen.
Princess Mabel, Ruler of the Sun and Brother to Prince Dipper, bounded over to her brother, her wavy silk dress shining white and her brown hair entwined with shades of pink, blue, green, and purple. Her golden Necklace and Crown with matching amethysts complimented her purple eyes. She was smiling brightly at her brother.
"Where were you last night?"
He only smiled as his cheeks grew warm, praying that no shades of scarlet would find their way to his face.
"I was outside, as usual." Dipper said quickly. "I'm off to bed. Wake me when it's meal time." With that he walked off towards his room, his sister cocking an eyebrow before walking off. To her, her brother was and enigma.
As he entered his room, he closed the shades on his windows and closed the doors to the shining balcony. He liked it when things were dark. It made for more places to hide form the sun.
He switched off his cape and his clothes for more reasonable pajamas, and set his crown on his circular table. He flopped on his canopy bed, curling his wings into a comfortable position. He undid the soft blue covers, making the bed spread a splotch that looked like ink surround a brilliant white moon. He nestled his way into bed, and fell asleep.
And he dreamed of Wendy, him, and the fireflies.
AWWWWWWWW!
