The sky was a beautiful shade of blue, with a few cotton white puffy clouds here and there. A gentle wind was blowing over the top of trees making the green leaves sway back and forth. It beautiful, quiet and serene in the forest until a voice was heard as it called out from the distance.
"Dipper..." a female's voice called out.
Dipper gasped at the sound of his name. He was a bit different then he usually was though. For one thing his body was more muscular and more...manly like one of those superheroes you see on T.V.
He stood in the forest looking around for the source of who was calling his name, wondering where the voice had come from.
He looked out squinting his eyes a bit when he saw a tall pedestal in the middle of a meadow with a female figure on top.
"Dipper..." it called again.
He started to run through the forest as fast as his feet would take him. He headed towards the voice that called to him.
"Dipper..." came the voice once again.
Finally reaching the clearing in the forest, he found himself out in a open meadow. Dipper could now see who was on the pedestal clearly. He knew that her voice had sounded all too familiar to him. His heart fluttered a bit in his chest his cheeks tinted red in a blush.
"W-Wendy?"
Wendy was wearing a beautiful green dress and she was holding a white dandelion. She looked toward him, she gently blew the seeds toward Dipper, who was mesmerized by it.
She leapt from atop the pedestal and gracefully glided down towards Dipper. He attempted to catch her, but they ended up falling down on the ground. They giggled for a while, then just lay there lost in each other's eyes. Dipper sighed dreamily.
Wendy leaned in and puckered her lips for a kiss. But then suddenly the sky changed to overcast gray and the trees changed to dark thorny trees. Wendy gasped and drew away, shocked.
Dipper looked at her confusedly.
"Wendy what's wrong?" He asked.
He looked down at himself and noticed that his body was changing from being muscular and manly back to more small and wimpy like. Muscular arms become thin and puny, being afraid himself he looked down and noticed that his abs on his chest started to shrink down back to his flat un-manly, hairless chest. One thing that Dipper had always been so self-conscious about was being manly.
Wendy moved back further away from him as she watched wide eyed.
This freaked her out and she screamed in horror.
Dipper suddenly shot up in his bed gasping, eyes wide. He looked down at his body and placed a hand over his chest. It was the same as it has always been. He let out a sigh of relief. Phew, it was just a horrible nightmare.
"Well that was the weirdest dream ever..." He muttered to himself.
Suddenly the phone started to ring which made Dipper jump a bit. Reaching over he picked it up only to fumble the receiver while answering it, and dropped it on the floor. He leaned over the bed to pick it up.
"Hello?" he said meekly. He coughed and cleared his throat quickly to make it normal. "Hello?"
"Dipper? Where the heck are you, dude?" Came Soos's voice on the other end of the receiver.
"Soos?"
Soos was his friend from his Grunkle Stan's Mystery Shack. Soos worked at the Shack on weekends but had also taken up a job as the janitor of Dipper's school for extra money.
"You should have been here an hour ago!" Soos said.
"Wait where are you?! Hold on..."
Dipper leapt out bed to look around for a clean pair of pants to put on. Back when he and his twin sister Mabel were kids they used to share the same room, but when they became teenagers they got separate rooms located across the hall from each other. He finally found a pair hanging on his chair and tried to put them on while still on the phone.
"Look, maybe we should just call the whole thing off!" Soos said over the phone.
"No way, man! It's now or never!" Dipper said as he got tangled up in the phone cord, which caused him to trip and fall.
"Well, you'd better get a move on! I'll meet you at my office."
Dipper quickly got up and untangled himself from the phone cord. He then hung up but that caused his pants to fall back down.
Before he could pull them back up Dipper's dad George, open the door to his room. He was a handsome man. He looked a lot like an older Dipper except his hair wasn't as curly, that detail both Dipper and Mabel got from their mom. George had green eyes and was dressed in a clean well pressed business suit ready for work.
"Morning son!" George greeted.
"Dad!" Dipper cried out pulling his pants up in embarrassment.
"Oops sorry, I forgot." He laughed.
He walked out from the room closing the door then knocking on it before opening it again.
"Morning Dipper! I came to see if you had any..." he stopped and looked around at the clothing everywhere around Dipper's room. "...dirty clothes." He finished.
"Wait a minute...dirty clothes? Dad don't you usually collect our dirty clothes...AFTER we go to school?"
Thats when it hit him.
"What the...?" Dipper ran over and hit his alarm clock which was showing 4:02. The numbers spun then showed 7:50.
"Oh no, I'm late for school!" He quickly rushed to finish getting dressed. "Well, there they are! Help yourself dad! Where's Mabel?"
"She left for school a half hour ago." he said. "But Dipper I thought we talked about this?"
"Yeah, look, I'm sorry, Dad. I'll take care of it later!" Dipper said pulling his shirt down over his head.
"You know, I could drive you on my way to work." George said.
"Uh, no thanks. I..uh..I need the exercise!" Dipper grabbed his hat and put it on before running out the door of his room while putting his backpack on. He rushed down the stairs and past the door to the kitchen where his mom was. He said a quick hello and goodbye before rushing out the door.
Just as he was about to walk out the gate Dipper's mother came out calling to him.
"Dippy wait!"
He winced at that nickname, he hated it when his mom called him that. As if Dipper wasn't bad enough.
"You almost forgot your lunch." She said handing him a bag then leaning down to kiss him on the cheek. "Have a good at school sweetie."
A few skateboarders passing by see this and start laughing. Dipper grinned embarrassedly and waved, then scowled with annoyance.
Dipper:
They've been laughing since I can remember,
But they're not gonna laugh anymore!
No more "Dippy the geek"!
No more "Goof of the week" like before!
Dipper had trouble at first opening the wooden gate so instead he just jumped over it. He then closed his eyes determinedly as he started to walk to school...but he didn't see the little kids playing marbles and a few steps later he ended up slipping on them down the street.
Girl Tearing Up Test:
No more algebra tests 'til September!
Still stumbling from slipping on the he marbles Dipper ended up running into the girl on accident. She glared down at him and he just grinned up at her sheepishly. It wasn't on purpose after all. Even so her boyfriend wasn't happy either.
Girl's Boyfriend:
No more looking at losers like him!
The girl's boyfriend grabbed Dipper by the back of his shirt and picked him up off his girl. He then tossed Dipper to the side. Dipper stumbled backwards to the other side of the street and onto the sidewalk, but fortunately managed to regain his balance. He then glared back at the guy as he dusted himself off a bit. Two other guys showed up from behind Dipper.
Boy with Crib Notes on Arm:
No more having to cheat!
Crib Notes Boy's Friend:
No more mystery meat!
While walking by the boy who didn't like mystery meat snatched Dipper's lunch from his hand.
Another Boy:
No more gym!
Yet Another Boy:
No more gym!
Yet Another Another Boy:
No more gym!
YAAABoy:
No more gym!
The four boys all flung their jock straps at Dipper. He dodged the first three but the last one landed on his face right on his nose. He pulled it off and threw it aside. So gross, even if it was clean...he hoped.
Pacifica:
Gonna move to the mall!
Beach Boy:
Gonna live in the pool!
Dipper:
Gonna talk to Wendy and not feel like a fool!
Pacifica was the rich kind of girl who of course would spend most her time at the mall or be flirting with a cute guy, which what she was trying to do with the beach boy who was leaning over a fire hydrant. She even pushed another girl out of way. Then Dipper came out of nowhere ruining the moment between the two. The beach boy and Pacifica walked away annoyed, Pacifica even punching Dipper in the arm. Dipper winced a bit as he rubbed the spot where she'd hit him.
All:
'Cause after today I'm gonna be cruising!
Dipper:
After today she'll be mine!
Dipper continued to walk down the street, passing a few skateboarders showing off stunts. One even did a flip right over his head, which he ducked just in time.
All:
After today my brains'll be snoozing!
Dipper:
If I don't faint, I'll be fine!
He suddenly popped up from behind the bench at the bus stop where two old ladies had been sitting, startling one of them and causing her to faint. The other old lady glared at Dipper.
Twin Girls:
I've got forty more minutes of Home Economics!
Twin Boys:
Then down with the textbooks...
Trekkie Boy:
And up with the comics!
Dipper:
Just think of all of the time I've been losing
Finding the right thing to say!
While running across the street Dipper jumped up off a fire hydrant into a flock of pigeons, making them all fly away. He covered his face and head with his arms, still smiling from thinking of Wendy.
All:
But things'll be going my way, after today!
Wendy passed by Dipper, who waved to her weakly. However Wendy did not see him and kept on walking.
Dipper:
She looked right through me!
And who could blame her?
I need a new me,
Plus some positive proof
That I'm not just a goof! And...
After Wendy had walked away Dipper sighed downheartedly and leaned back against the glass of of the Records store. He turned around and inside he saw a few students looking at statue of a popular singer everyone liked ElectricDash. Remembering his plan he cheered up and continued heading to school.
Bus Kids:
After today I'm gonna be cruising!
Two Goth Girls:
No more pep rallies to cut!
*Bleah!*
All:
After today my brains'll be snoozing!
School Bus Driver:
I'm gonna sit on my butt!
Dipper:
I've got less than an hour
And when this is ended,
I'll either be famous...
Principal Blubs:
Or you'll be suspended!
Finally reaching the school he looked up at the top of the building where the big clock was. He only had about 45 minutes to get everything ready! He needed to hurry. He quickly ran and slid down on one of the stair railings, accidentally bumping into the principal. Dipper quickly ran away after bumping into him, not wanting to get into trouble.
All:
Just think of all of the time I've been losing
Waiting until I could say: Gonna be on my own, kiss the parents good-bye!
Gonna party from now 'til the end of July!
Things'll be going my way after today!
After running away from the principal Dipper ran onto the track, leapt over a hurdle, and then ran to the top of the bleachers.
The school bell rang. Everyone stopped what they were doing and looked at the clock, same with Dipper.
Dipper:
I wish that this was the day after today
Now worried about his plan Dipper started to walk down but didn't look where he was going and tripped. He tumbled down the bleachers, falling flat on his face at the bottom. The kids who where around laughed at him then walked away. Wendy ran over to help him by pulling him up by the arm.
"Are you all right Dipper?" Wendy asked concernedly.
Dipper didn't realize that it was Wendy helping him, so he spoke normally at first.
"Yeah, yeah, I'm okay, I just ah, duh..."
Then when he looked up and noticed Wendy he got completely tongue-tied and flustered. Wendy chuckled, she actually found it kinda cute seeing him all flustered like that. There was an important reason why too. Dipper started to laugh back, but then emitted some kind of weird laugh. Not even he knew where it came from or why he did it. Feeling a bit embarrassed by it he covered his mouth and dashed away, tripping over some garbage cans. He looked back at Wendy for a moment, then ran away with an cry of anguish. Wendy looked down and sighed, shaking her head a bit. He didn't need to have been so embarrassed by that laugh, she liked it. She was also tired of guys who didn't like to be themselves around her. The school bell rang again, so she turned around to catch up with her friends.
