Gravity fall is not mine, neither are US Army Ranger, SOFD-D1 (delta force). This is a work of fiction that makes no profit. Any resemblance to any actual people is purely coincidence. Little back ground first this story will start off in the year 2024. Things have fallen apart between Wendy and dipper due to something Wendy told dipper in a lapse of judgement. This story will be about making up for past mistakes, surviving through combat induced Post Traumatic Stress (PTS) and making the best of what you have in front of you. It leads to an overall question of whether the ethics of society is at fault when one person is not enough.

For this story, Tambry is Hispanic, Wendy is of Irish decent, and the twins are of Swedish decent.

LOCATION: UNDISCLOSED FORWARD OPERATING BASE, AFGANISTAN.

JANUARY 2024

"Brother, why are you looking at that Picture again?" asked a soldier. Named Terry Deangelo, He is a battle hardened SOFD-D1 Master Sergeant currently assigned to Task Force Cobra along with 1st Battalion 75th Ranger Regiment. Standing at 5'8'' and weighing 195 LBS of shear muscle, he is well respected by his squad as well as his peers. "You know that shit isn't healthy."

"Shut the hell up Deangelo." Was the annoyed reply from another soldier. Mason "Dipper" Pines, is a survivor thru and thru, having survived the event of Weirdmaggedon. He went on to grow up not wanting to be weak anymore. At the age of 18 he enlisted into the active army as an infantrymen. Why going through infantry school he was selected to go through the airborne course. Soon after he impressed higher command and was given the option to go through ranger school. Having graduated top of his cycle, he was sent through R.A.S.P. and completed the course. After his 1st deployment to Afghanistan, a Delta Force recruiter had seen his intellect and offered him the chance to go through SOFD-D1 training. He passed top of the class as well and is now Master Sergeant in SOFD-D1, through and through his intellect and desire to prove himself have led him to be successful at anything he set out to accomplish.

"As much as I want to, I can't get her out of my mind. I can't get her carefree smile, her soulful green eyes, nor her melodious voice out of my mind, believe me I have been trying for the last 8 years. Hell I haven't seen her since I was 18. She is always in my dreams, I can't forget her no matter how hard I try or want to." Ranted dipper.

"Damn brother you got it bad. So I'm going to guess you haven't talked to her since you enlisted, right?" inquired Deangelo.

"Yes, not since I enlisted." Answered dipper.

"Mason." Deangelo called out. Dipper knew he was being serious. No one ever calls you by your first name unless they are being serious. "I think you need to take some leave and go talk to her. You need closure in order to forget her man. It might be the only way if I am being honest." Stated Deangelo.

"Yeah, and see how happy she is with another man? I mean I will be extremely happy for her, but it will shatter what is left of my soul, and I do not think I'll be able to recover from that." Dipper remarked. Deangelo could clearly see the depression clouding his eyes.

"Tell you what dipper, how about I go with you?" questioned an overly enthusiastic Deangelo.

"Fucking hell, you are persistent aren't you Delo?" retorted dipper. Deangelo was happy his little maneuver worked, having gotten dipper to call him by his true nickname. 'I just want to see you happy little brother.' Thought Deangelo. Having enlisted and gone through the same training together, both men truly believed they were brothers in all but blood. Having saved each other time and time again since their first combat engagement. "To hell with it, it has been long enough. I will coordinate with my sister so I can squeeze visiting her as well." Retorted dipper.

"Well that was easy enough." Remarked Deangelo.

"Hey brother is your sister still going to be in charge of your choice of hospitalization if anything happens?" asked Deangelo.

"Yeah, what's up? Want to have her in charge of your care as well?" asked dipper.

"Yes please, I don't want my biological family to be in charge of that." Remarked Deangelo

"To easy, I'll contact her after this briefing." Dipper stated.

"Thank you brother." Replied Deangelo.

"ATTENTION!" Was yelled by a senior noncommissioned officer. As one, all officers and noncommissioned officer stood up. Every single one of those soldiers had one things in common, they were the best in the Army.

The senior officer of the Battalion walked in. he wore a black oak leave on his chest. The Battalion commander (BC) was a no nonsense man, a 6ft black male who believed he embodied what it meant to be an Army Ranger. As he reached the front of the room, his piercing grey eyes landed on his men.

"Take your seats Rangers." He called out. As one the battalion leadership took their seats. "New orders just came in from regiment, they have seen fit to extend our deployment for a new operation, our Delta Attachments are included in those orders as well." He stated to the assembled crowd. "We are the best battalion in regiment, and we will succeed in the operation. As of 0315 Zulu time, we are to be transported to Kandahar air base. 101st Air Assault divisions "Currahee" brigade will be taking over operations out of here. We are to be confined to the airbase while we rest and recover. From there we will be a part of the biggest operation of the war effort to date." Exclaimed the BC. Get your boys ready to sly out of here, we fly out in 2 days, 101st will be moving in later today. Dismissed." Stated the BC.

As one all the personnel stood up and left the briefing area. Deangelo and Dipper both were in deep thought as they got to their quarters

"Can't wait to get this operation over with brother" stated Deangelo.

"I couldn't agree more brother, though I have a very bad feeling about this op." Dipper replied.

"OI, none of this doomsday speak, nothing is going to go wrong with this op. you will see." Deangelo exclaimed.

"Yeah, you're right. Hey let me call my sister and get this favor out of the way." Stated dipper.

"I can't thank you enough brother." Remarked Deangelo.

Dipper didn't bother replying as he took of the USO building. As he walked in he grabbed a phone and dialed out to his hyperactive sister Mable. As the phone was ringing, he could not help but think about how much both his sister and himself have changed over the years, and how they have remained the same kids that first arrived in gravity falls all those years ago. He was still serious and paranoid, while she was still innocent and hyper as hell. 'Shit we both have come a long way just to have a part of us still at the start haven't we?' he asked himself.

"HELLO!" was the energetic cry dipper heard on the phone.

"Hey Mable, its Dipper." He spoke.

Mable started replying "DIPPER! OMYGOSHHOWAREYOUDOINGWHEREAREYOUHOWISTHEARMYWHENAREYOUCOMINGHOMEAREYOUEATINGRIGHTHAVEYOU….." only to be cut off by dipper

"I am doing great, I am at my barracks, and the army is great, when I'm allowed to take leave, I am eating alright and I have a favor to ask you." Asked dipper.

"Sure thing bro bro!" replied Mable.

"I know it's a lot to ask, but can you handle the hospitalization request for a friend of mine?" dipper requested

"Is it your friend Terry?" Mable asked.

"Yes Terry wanted to know if you would be willing to do it, so I told him I'd ask." Said Dipper.

"Tell him I got him brosef." Replied Mable. "Hey Dipper?"

"Yes Mable?" questioned dipper

"You would tell me if something was going on or going to happen to you right?" questioned Mabel.

"Mable, if I was deployed or in a world of trouble, I would let you know. I couldn't be able to keep that from you. You know this." Dipper replied.

"Ok, then why are you and Terry requesting this?" Mable asked.

Dipper responded with "ok Mable, I can't keep this from you any longer. We are deployed in Afghanistan. That is all I can tell you at this time."

"WHAT THE HELL DIPPER! SINCE WHEN, WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME EARLIER? DO YOU NOT TRUST ME?" Mable replied. Mable had never felt this angry at her brother before. He lied to her about going to war. "Dipper how many times have you deployed?" asked Mable.

"Mable can we not do this right now, I am sorry I should've told you earlier. I just didn't want to worry you." Dipper answered with remorse.

"Okay Dipper, I will let it go this time, but we are going to have words the next time you visit." Replied Mable.

"Okay Mable. We will talk about this when I visit. Just so you are aware, once Terry and myself rotate back home we are visiting, so I will be contacting you to set this all up within a few days ok." Said Dipper

"Okay Dipper, hey just so you know I moved a couple of weeks ago t…" Mable started

"Mable I don't care where you moved to, I will visit you regardless ok." Interrupted Dipper.

"If you say so Dipper." Mable replied.

"listen we are getting ready to jump to another base so to speak so I got to let you go, I promise to call once we get settled in." Dipper told her.

"Okay Dipper, you better call me. Bye." Was the last thing Dipper heard Mable say before the line went dead.

A FEW DAYS LATER

Out in the woods of Oregon, sat a cabin. In that cabin, there lives a couple of women. Both of these women have learned through a mutual source that the man they cherished, loved, and rejected was in the middle of a war zone. Tambry Garcia and Wendy Corduroy were an emotional mess. They embraced each other while crying their eyes out. Both were thinking the same thing. 'Please let him be safe, I am so sorry. Please if anybody is up there listening to me, I will do anything, suffer through anything, share him if need be, so long as he comes back alive.' Was their parallel prayer.

-BREAK-

Up in the Heavens.

Little did they know, their prayer was heard by beings long forgotten to history. The Greek and Roman pantheon had to combine in order to have enough energy to reach to the only other pantheon that might have wanted to help this cry. All the Norse gods just wanted to help the two women out after watching over them since the events of weirdmaggedon. Both pantheons combined their energy and changed the fate of six people, Tambry, wendy and dipper were 3 of them. With their fates being changed, the gods also sent a vision with a message for all six.

-BREAK-

Down in Midgard/earth

"Why won't you come back?!" Cried Tambry up to the sky, hoping that he would somehow hear her cry.

"Please Come back Dipper! I'm sorry, we are sorry!" Cried Wendy while clutching onto Tambry.
