Down A Different Road

by Zeta Grey

As the title implies, this world imagines that a few characters made different decisions than they do in the original universe, this is an AU where Dipper matures and doesn't make the stupid cartoon decisions that he did, and starts to think a bit more maturely, both saving him alot of future trouble, and causing a possible chance for his virgin ass to get a shot at romance (Ship?)

1. Prologue: The beginning

Prologue:The Beginning

(I Do-not Own any of the Main characters, just the universe and any OC's I come up with, you have a problem with that? settle it with someone else otherwise, enjoy)

It started out like any other day, the sun shining the birds chirping… and a very bored third party looking down onto the story "ehhh, okay okay I… Think I get what's going on two twins show up in Gravity Falls, the place is weird and they solve mysteries… yeah, I'll just let this be a 'little' more realistic before everything goes downhill." and with that, he summoned up a ball of 'Angsty Teen' and threw it at the mystery shack.

Dipper (Being the little mystery solver that he was) Decided to walk outside, hoping to find the Owner of the Strange ,uncomfortable feeling. Unfortunately for him, he was hit dead-center in the chest with the 'Mystical Ball of Angsty Teen' propelling him into the front of the shack leaving a sizable dent left within the wall… and a very much knocked out yet, older looking (so dipper is 13 years old in the show so, 14/15 years old(Though not too different either way)) Dipper to be slumped on the wall before dropping onto the ground with a 'thud', since it was early in the morning no-one else was awake 'cept for the people who had jobs to go to work. After a few minutes of being slumped over Wendy came into view, most likely getting ready for work that day, within seconds of having set her sights on the shack she saw Dipper, in all his knocked out glory, she blinked and jogged the rest of the way over to him looking panicked.

"Dude, Hey Dude you good?" a few seconds later his eyes shot open, looking panicked and gasping for breathe. As if he were waking up from a traumatic dream, Panting he looked around before his eyes adjusted their sights on Wendy, "H-huh? Wendy… why're you here?" he asked, looking confused, and dare I say, even a little Relieved.

"Dude, I should be asking you that." She looked down at him questioningly,after a few seconds of thought, he did something he usually didn't do, say something Reasonable with GOOD Reason. He laughed in a comfortable manner. "Right, my bad, I was out here since last night and I uh… well… Kinda fell asleep." he answered, looking sheepish 'Woah, Smooth Job me.' he patted himself on the back quietly at his newfound… Maturity? 'Wait, what's going on here?' he was pulled back into reality with his own physical movements catching him off-guard. "Sorry if I worried you Wendy" he said with so much 'Mature Swagger' that got even Wendy Taken-Aback for a second while he walked back into the shack with a quiet yet confident demeanor.

30 seconds passed and she was as confused as ever, she quickly shook it off, looking back at where he was slumped, then her mouth was left gaping staring at the dent he left in the wall. "Where did that come from?" for a few seconds she didn't know the best course of action before quickly shaking her head and heading inside, deciding to forget what had happened, much like everyone else did for everything in Gravity falls, after all it was… somewhat normal… wasn't it?

(A/N: I know this is super short and it's not really any good, but Please Keep in mind this is my first story and I'm doing whatever works for me, I'll be sure to do better in the future, thanks for taking a look at this, also even though I'm usually against it, I'm gonna make the story very dumb for the fun of it :D please stay tuned for the adventures of this new Angsty Teen... that's not the Title, Bye~)
