"Hey, Dipper!" called Wendy, who had finished texting on her phone outside. "You alright, dude?"
Dipper, having realized he was staring at Wendy from his window for at least a few minutes now, quickly got his senses back and called back nervously: "Y...Yeah! I had... um... a brain freeze!"
"For ten minutes?" called back Wendy, ignoring his nervousness. "Anyway, tell your uncle my Dad needs me, okay? There's a giant tree that needs chopping down!"
"O...Okay, sure!" said Dipper, still nervous.
Wendy gave him a thumbs up, got on her bike and rode away like the wind.
Dipper sighed. 'Darn, was it ten minutes, really!?' He thought.
"So how long was it this time, huh?"
"Gah!" shouted Dipper as he quickly turned away from the window, frightened. There on her bed, was none other than her sister.
"How long... were you there?" asked Dipper, slightly still in shock.
"Don't worry, I just only came into the room..." replied Mabel cheekily. "So, are you gonna answer me, Mr. Stalker?"
"I'm not stalking!" answered Dipper angrily. He then sat on his bed, looked at his shoes, and said bluntly: "About Ten minutes..."
"Really!?" asked Mabel. "That's about 2 minutes shorter than last time!"
"Wait, what?" said Dipper. He quickly looked back up and saw Mabel with a Notebook, which had various times on it. He then immediately got of the bed to see what was written on the notebook.
"You right down how long I stare at Wendy? Every time?" asked Dipper, who was quite confused.
"So what?" replied Mabel. "It's for your own good, and now..."
Mabel then put a sticker on Dipper's jacket, which said: 'You're a star!'
"Here's your congratulatory badge!" continued Mabel happily.
"Mabel... It's not a good thing to get a badge for spending less time staring at Wendy." said Dipper depressingly. "It's not a good thing to stare at Wendy at all. It's not a good thing to stare at anyone!"
"Then why do you do it then?" asked Mabel.
Dipper sighed. "I don't know..." he continued. "Just ever since Wendy said she knew I-"
Suddenly, the door opened, and a big figure poked it's head from behind the door...
"Sup dudes!" said Soos. "Who's got SILLY STRING!?"
"Soos, I'm... kinda having a moment here." said Dipper awkwardly. "Maybe, any other time... okay?"
"Oh, sorry dudes." said Soos, as he put is head back behind the door and closed it.
"Anyway, " continued Dipper. "Ever since Wendy said she knew that I l-"
"Is 'any other time' now...?" said Soos, rolling some Silly String under the door.
"Soos...!" answered Dipper, who was slightly annoyed.
"Haha, soz. Just messing with you guys." he replied as he went back downstairs.
"Now, as I was saying..." said Dipper. "Ever since Wendy said she knew I kinda... liked her... things haven't been the same. Because, now... I know I'm too young..."
Dipper slowly walked back towards the window, with Mabel watching him, as Dipper looked towards where Wendy was going.
"And I know... we will just have to be friends... and friends we will just be."
