Kingdom Falls

I OWN AND REGRET NOTHING!

…...

Destiny island...a peaceful, idyllic place...to be bored! And it was this among other reasons that local rebellious teenagers: Wendy, Robbie, Nate, Lee, and Thompson were building a raft to leave this stinking island and travel until they find adventure and fortune...or until their supplies run low and they have to come back...whichever comes first.

It had taken several months but the raft was finally complete! All they needed was to wait for tomorrow to get their last scrap of supplies-

"Guys! Guys! I'm here! I'm packed!" Everyone turned around and saw 12 year old Dipper Pines running up the trail toward them. Robbie face palmed in annoyance. "Oh, for the love of- Dang it Wendy! You were supposed to tell your love-struck puppy that he wasn't coming with us!

Wendy bit her nail nervously... "Look...would it really be so bad if he came with us? I mean he was the one who deciphered the map that made this whole trip possible!"

Robbie rolled his eyes. "We don't even know if that map is for real or not! Besides, even it is; there's no way I'm babysitting a little twerp while he makes goo-goo eyes at you!" Lee nervously coughs. "The thing is Wendy...we barely have enough supplies for the six of us...forget about seven!" Nate also puts in his two cents. Not to mention it'll be a miracle of this raft doesn't capsize with just our weight...never mind more!"

Tambry also pipped up. "Besides Wendy...I know you don't want to hurt his feelings...but you've strung him along for way too long...it's time to be honest with him!" She says honestly.

Wendy sighs. "Right...be honest." She wanted to laugh out loud. How could she be honest with him, when she could be honest with herself! For a moment she toyed with just telling him what she felt for him ever since they shared that Paopu Fruit together...But then reality hit...A relationship with a 12 year old? Her friends, the people she'd known since she was little...they'd never understand! They'd leave her!...she didn't know if she could live with herself if they left her! Besides...a relationship between the two of them...it would never work out! She rationalized to herself...Really it was better if he found someone his own age...She'd even help him!

Yeah...that's what I'll do. She says to herself ignoring the painful longing in her heart. She turns around and watches the ever enthusiastic Dipper running toward the beach. She groans. I hate this... Suddenly she feels a hand on her shoulder. She turns around to see Robbie. He smiles at her. "Hey, I can see your not looking forward to this...So how about I take him aside and let him down for you?" Wendy frowned...it was tempting...but. "I don't know...shouldn't this come from me?" Robbie chuckles. "Come on, do you really want to do this?"

Before she could say anything, Dipper showed up. One look at the joyful smile of one of the best things to ever enter her life...and she knew Robbie was right...she couldn't do it. She knew she was chickening out...But maybe it'll be better if he hears it from a guy? She justifies weakly to herself...

After briefly whispering to Robbie to 'break it to him gently', she tells Dipper that Robbie has something important he needed to tell him in private. Dipper is confused...but predictably dose what Wendy asks...

…...

Later, Robbie returns...with the supplies they need! Tambry looked at this confused. "How- "I paid Tidus double to get these to us faster." Interrupts Robbie. "Anyway, were ready to go now!" Wendy looks concerned. "Wait, what about-" Robbie waved her off. "I took care of it, he took it pretty hard. But I think he'll be fine."

Wendy sighed, but nodded. She then helped the others pack the supplies, and ready the raft...

None of them saw the sinister smirk that played across Robbie's face...

Also don't forget to give a shout out to my mom's birthday story on my page!

AN: I know it says "in-progress" but really I just don't like boxing myself into a corner. For now this is more of a one-shot that I might continue one day...but probably won't.

But, hey. Feel free to use whatever elements you want from this, if you want! Or maybe give me ideas?

Love me, flame me, review me
