Writer's Note: this is my very first Gravity Falls story. I also know this isn't the right season for this story, but insperation just kinda hit me with that.. Also they might be out of character, since I had only written for them a few times. I hope you still enjoy the story. (Rated for suspense)

Part One

Dipper groaned as he slowly regained consciousness. The first thing that Dipper became aware of was the chill in the air, followed by the wind whipping up the powdery, newly fallen snow up from the ground. Dipper watched it, a bit confused, as it swirled through the air in sparkling patterns. Dipper tried to get up, but found he could barely move. He took a breath and felt a deep pain in his chest, causing him to go into a coughing fit.

After steadying his breathing for a few moments, Dipper slowly sat up, wincing at the pain in his throbbing head.

"W-what.. Happened..?" he wondered aloud.

Glancing around, Dipper stared in horror at the mostly demolished golf cart that lie in a mangled heap. He slowly moved his gazed upward to gaze upon the steep and rocky wall of the valley. At the sight of this, Dipper suddenly felt a sharp pain iin his head again and gripped at his head. It was when he noticed a wet feeling that he let go. His hands shook as he saw his fingers and palms were coated in a deep crimson red. Wisps of mist left his mouth as he began to hyperventilate in horror.

"O-oh God.."

Dipper began to search his surroundings. Glancing over to his right, he noticed a shape lying in the falling snow. At first he wasn't sure what it could be. However, it was the sight of distinctive detail of long, orangey-red hair that caused him to scramble to his feet. Dipper grimaced at the pain in his limbs and body but he ignored them as he hurried over to the shape.

"W..Wendy!"

He hurried to her side. Dipper collapsed into the snow beside her. He hissed in pain as every nerve in his body screamed at him. Dipper fought through the pain. He stared, horrified at the sight of her condition. Her clothes were tattered and stained with crimson blood. There was a gash across the right side of her face which stained to falling snow.

"Wendy.." he muttered.

Placing a hand on her shoulder, Dipper gently shook her, tears forming as he felt how cold she seemed to be.

"Wendy..! Wendy! Wake up!"

Wendy groaned as she opened her eyes.

"Dipper?"

Dipper smiled and nodded. He carefully helped her sit up.

"C'mon, we need to get out of here!"

As he began to help her stand up, he cried out as pain shot throughout his body.

"Dipper?" asked Wendy.

Dipper was breathing heavily. Soon, he shivered. Wendy moved toward him and grimaced as she felt a pain in her side and chest. She fell back into the snow.

"Wendy.."

He moved closer to her and took her hand.

"O-ouch.." Wendy muttered though gritted teeth.

"Wendy, w-what's wrong? Are you okay?"

"I.. I can't breathe.."

Dipper carefully began to help her up again.

"We n-need to find shelter!"

"Dipper.."

"D-don't worry!" Dipper assured her. "W-we'll get through this!"

Dipper cringed at the pain in his legs as he helped his teenage companion stand. He slowly began to lead her along through the snow. Wendy began to feel dizzy, but shook her head to clear it. As they continued on, the once light and powdery snow had already become large, fat flakes. Dipper's breath came out in a cloud of frost as he and Wendy continued onward. He coughed painfully, and could taste something metallic in his mouth.

"Dipper.." Wendy shivered.

Dipper glanced up at his friend and crush and felt a pain in his heart. Wendy's long fiery red hair was plastered to her neck, wet from the melted snow. She was completely soaked through. Dipper then realized he was soaked through as well. He then glanced over toward the distance and could see what looked to be a cave.

"W-we.. We're almost there.."

Dipper shivered as a gust of wish washed over them, covering them in snow. Once they reached to icy cave, they both collapsed to the ground. Wendy clutched at her side as she tried to breathe, shivering horribly, regardless with the thick winter coat she had on.

"Wendy.. I'm so sorry.."

Wendy tried to smile, but it came out as more of a grimace.

"Dipper.. It.. Wasn't your fault.."

"I should've waited for the snow to stop before heading back from Lookout Point!" he nearly shouted. "A-and now.. Because I tried to beat the storm.."

He trailed off.

Wendy gripped Dipper's hand

"Dipper, listen to me..!"

She then gripped his shoulders.

"There's no point in beating yourself up about this," she continued. "What's important is to figure out how to get back.."

Dipper was about to speak but was cut off as Wendy went into a coughing fit. She soon stopped and shuddered as blood trickled out from between her lips.

"W-Wendy..! Y-you're bleeding.!"

Wendy stared at him, before lightly wiping her mouth clear of blood, glancing down at her hand.

"You're hurt.." Dipper whispered.

Wendy shivered as she curled up in pain. Dipper moved closer, finding it painful to move but ignored the pain and took her hand, holding it tight. Wendy smiled softly and brushed Dipper's bangs back, uncovering a small section of his birthmark, to which Dipper blushed a little. Wendy smiled in response.

"We will get through this.."

Dipper stared up at her but nodded, soon moving closer to her side. Wendy pulled him close to her, the both of them shivering as the sun began to set and the outside world grew dark.
