(Hey! I want to immerse you guys in the story, so I'll be quick. Just thought I'd let you guys know that this is my first Gravity Falls fanfic! The first few chapters will have a little one-sided WenDip, but that's part of the story! If you don't ship that, just hang tight because it's a necessary plot point! If you do, well, there you go. Anyways, happy reading! If you like it, remember to review!)-the author

It was a pleasant June afternoon in the town of Piedmont, California. The sun was shining, birds were chirping, and kids excitedly ran down the street after their final day of school. After waiting all this time, it was summer.
Dipper and Mabel Pines were two of these kids, happily walking down the street to get to their home. Summer, their favorite time of year, was upon them.
"Dipper, aren't you excited for summer?" Mabel asked her brother, practically skipping as she walked.
"Yeah, sure Mabel, summer will be a blast." Dipper sighed, lowering his head.
"Aw, what's wrong, bro-bro?"
"It's just that after our trip to Gravity Falls two years ago-"
"Dipper, Gravity Falls was great, but we're not there anymore! We had fun, we saved the world, can't we just live the lives of normal teenagers?"
Dipper shook his head. "Mabel, you just don't get it." He pulled his lumberjack hat by the two flaps on the side, almost completely covering his face.
"What is there to get, Dipper? I was there, I know what happened!"
"No, you don't!" Dipper shook his head once more and ran away from his sister, making his way towards the house.
He still misses Wendy… Mabel thought to herself, facepalming.
When Mabel got home, she looked around the house. She couldn't see her brother anywhere. She went upstairs to check his room. When she opened the door, she saw her brother lying in his bed on his stomach, face-first into a pillow.
"Dipper, I'm sorry…" Mabel said in an almost condescending tone.
"Just go away!" He said, briefly lifting his face from the pillow so he could yell at her.
Mabel sunk her head and closed the door, going back downstairs to get some Chipackers. Suddenly, she heard the phone ring.
"Brrrring! Brrrring!" It rang. It sounded like a hyperactive schoolbell. Mabel picked it up and answered: "Pines residence, this is Mabel!" She answered in a singsong voice. The voice on the other end gasped a little bit.
"Mabel, it's your Great Uncle Ford! Is Dipper there?" Mabel smiled. This is exactly what Dipper needs!
"Hi Grunkle Ford! Yeah, he is!" She replied. "I'll go get him for you."
"Thank you, kid."
"No problem, just a sec!" Mabel ran up the stairs and knocked on Dipper's door hastily. "Dipper, there's a phone call for you!" She yelled.
"Mabel, go away, tell them to call back later." He hollered back.
"It's Grunkle Ford! He's asking for you!"
Dipper quickly sat up on his bed with a very large smile quickly spreading across his face. He put his lumberjack hat back on and promptly went to open the door. Mabel looked at him and smiled, handing him the phone.
"Hey Great Uncle Ford! It's Dipper!" He said with excitement, putting the phone to his ear.
"Dipper! I just got back from my investigation in the Arctic Circle with Stan, and I found something incredibly dangerous. I need you here immediately, I can't do this stuff alone anymore." Ford explained, his normally very clear voice muffled by the phone's speaker.
Dipper's smile became even more intense, practically shaking with excitement. "Great Uncle Ford, I'd love to-"
"Great, I can send your parents a bus ticket and you can be here tomorrow." Ford interrupted.
"-but I don't know what Mabel would say. She's been looking forward to hanging out with me this summer." Dipper finished. Mabel, still standing in the doorway, looked at her brother with a confused look.
"Doesn't your sister have friends here? I don't see any reason why she couldn't come along…" Ford offered.
"Hold on, I'll ask her," Dipper said, putting the microphone to his chest. "Mabel, do you want to go back to Gravity Falls? Ford really needs me there." He asked.
Mabel smiled, showing off her straight teeth. "Heck yeah! I want to see Candy and Grenda again!" She exclaimed.
Dipper nodded, putting the phone back up to his ear. "She'd love to come, but we'll have to talk to our parents." Dipper explained.
"Don't worry about that, I already talked to them about it. They're okay with you two spending the summer at the Mystery Shack."
"Oh, okay. You said tomorrow?" Dipper asked.
"Yes, I can e-mail your parents the bus tickets. Don't worry about it. Just get packed up tonight and I'll see you two tomorrow." Ford told him.
Dipper nodded. "Okay Great Uncle Ford, we'll see you tomorrow!" Dipper told his Uncle, hanging up.
Mabel looked at her brother. "We're going back to Gravity Falls?" She asked excitedly.
Dipper nodded. "Yes, for the entire summer!" Mabel smiled and ran into Dipper's room, burying her face in his mattress as she flailed her legs. Dipper heard a muffled sound coming from her. She seemed to be screaming with excitement.
"Looks like I got my wish." Dipper said to himself, taking off his hat and looking at it longingly.
"Dipper, if we're leaving tomorrow, then we need to start packing immediately!" Mabel exclaimed, running out of her brother's room.
Packing didn't matter to Dipper at the moment, as he continued to stare at his hat. Wendy. He thought.
