A Coded Reminder
The circular shaped note had confused Dipper greatly. It appeared in his coffee cup before he was able to fill it and it was cryptic in wording:
"Come to the donut shaped hole in your behind." It read. What did the perplexing message mean he wondered as he drank a morning cup of coffee. A few moments later, he heard footsteps.
"Morning honey." The woman who appeared said to Dipper.
"Good morning Wendy honey.." Dipper said as he got up to put his cup away. He heard her giggle as he did so.
"Something funny?" Dipper asked in response.
"There's a sticky note your butt dude." She said as her muted giggling devolved into straight up laughter.
A slightly embarrassed Dipper just pulled the small little note off his donut butt without a word.
"I reside in your sanctuary? What in the world is that?" Dipper said.
"Well you have your own office that only you enter and only you enjoy, sort of like a sanctuary." Wendy suggested.
"Hmmm, well I do have my office that only I-" Dipper began before Wendy stopped him.
"Oh no don't you do that thing where you take my idea!" Wendy said mockingly mad.
"Don't you worry, I'll give you something back in full later tonight." Dipper said with a wink. "Anyways here's the next note: Come to our large arms where the bark is loud."
"I'm going to go out on a limb and say… That this is in a dog park." Dipper said, quickly regretting it.
"I'm gonna take a guess that Annabelle means that humongous tree in our yard." Wendy suggested.
"Right…" Dipper said.
They then went outside to the large, humongous tree in their backyard. It was an oak tree with orange leaves, visible bark and several long branches. And at the very top, the two saw a faint silhouette, waving at them.
"Well that's our flesh and blood alright." Wendy said. Let's get climbin'!"
"Wendy that's a large cl-" Dipper was interrupted as Wendy grabbed and carried Dipper up the tree forcefully. At the top, a sweaty breathless dipper found another sticky note: "Come on and down and find your reward." was all it read.
"Alright so how are we going to get do-" Dipper began before Wendy nearly threw him down. "Could we try a less thrilling method?"
"Fine, we'll just climb down." Wendy said. As she began to climb, Dipper jumped on top of her hat, causing her to lose her grip and they began to free fall down the tree anyways.
"You know you're not like a midget anymore right?" She joked as they continued to fall.
"Yeah, our daughter took that title." Dipper smiled back. They then began to kiss as they continued to fall, not aware they were close to hitting the ground hard.
Thankfully there was a soft mattress there to catch their fall, as if she knew what was coming.
"Oh my gosh you're kissing!" Annabelle exalted before interrupting it to make it a group hug.
"Say where's our reward?" The parents asked.
"Errr…. Happiness and love are the best reward?" Annabelle said with a smirk.
The two just laughed back. "I can buy into that." Wendy said as she made out with her husband yet again, and it was a great day for the young Pines family.
