Hey! So this is going to be my second story because I didn't feel that When Stars Align made 100% sense in my mind. I'm going to have to remake that story sometime in the future. Since I've been re-watching Gravity Falls, I felt like it'd be cool if I made a ship story since some are just so beautiful IMO. There's going to have to be a kind of an age skip where Dipper is 15 and Wendy is 16. And I'm still working on The Courier because that's going to be one of my super long stories. Not that it's gonna never end, but it'll just be long. Enjoy!

Wendy:

"Soos... Soos! Are you alive?" Rushing inside from the gift shop entrance and yelling to Soos to remind him that the store was opening in ten. "Stores opening in 10! Get your butt down here !" We've been a few hands short so we've had to get up earlier and prepare more than before with less people around. .

Soos comes rushing out from the living room and starts tidying up the gift shop in every way possible. "You get some spare change from the safe?" Soos said as he rushed around the room looking for anything out of place.

"Yep, ones, fives, and tens. Why are you so… neat all of the sudden? You haven't been like this since it was Black Friday." Soos wasn't super neat when it came to organizing the store. He'd focus more on presentation of the goods, not how they were set up.

"Mr Pines and his brother are coming back today and I need the shop to look perfect before they arrive," Stan and his brother were supposed to return from their trip to the Arctic today. Guess Soos really cared about Stan. "Gotta give Mr Pines a good impression, you know what I mean?"

"Yeah I get what you mean Soos, what were they even doing out there?"

"Not really sure, they never told me where or what. They just said that they were going out there for some reason," Soos said as he checked the windows for anyone outside in the parking lot. "Wendy, I left something in the upstairs bedroom and I need it for showing my tour groups around. It's the cane that Stan used to walk around with."

I hadn't been up to Dipper and Mabel's bedroom since last year when everything with Bill happened. Dipper and Mabel… those dudes were the highlight of my summer. Before they came to Gravity Falls, I had been bored out of my mind working at the Mystery Shack. But when they came, things weren't so bad. Mabel was another girl I could talk with about girl stuff, and Dipper… when Dipper told me he liked me, I didn't know what to say. At the time I told him that I was too old for him and I like him better as a friend. Hopefully he still knows that when he comes back, but you never know.

Grabbing the eight ball cane from a cardboard box in the corner of the bedroom and made my way back downstairs. "Soos! I got the cane, here." Handing Soos the cane as he made his way towards the front door.

"Thanks Wendy, now the first customers should be arriving right… about now!" Soos opened the door wide open and looked outside to just see wilderness and Gompers. "Wh- where is everyone?"

"Soos, did you change your watch to match the new time for savings time?"

"Of course… not… Well we do have about an hour now until the shop opens," Soos makes his way back inside and heads upstairs to his office. "You can relax until people get here in about an hour."

Walking over to my chair at the cashier's desk, and putting out my legs on the table. *sigh* What to do? Opening my phone and going to go text Tambrey, I get a text from Dipper.

"Hey Wendy!"

"Dipper! Dude what's up?"

"Not much, you?"

"When are you coming to Gravity Falls? It's so boring here!"

"Soon. Like really soon."

"How soon?"

"Like I'm on my way now! Mabel's coming tomorrow since she's doing this thing with school."

"Really? Thats sick! Can't wait to see you!"

"I'd love to talk more, but I'm going into a tunnel and I'm losing service. Talk to you soon."

"Bye Dipper."

Well that makes things more interesting. Dipper and Mabel should be coming today, which would make things around here less boring. Dipper and Mabel always made my day a bit brighter. Not many people besides them would make me feel so… happy. I've never really thought about Dipper in a boyfriend kind of way, I just haven't seen him as more than friends. I guess I'll have to keep my options open now that he's 15. Maybe I shoul-

Someone starts knocking at the door and I get up to go open it.

"Hey Wendy!" That's Dipper. "You okay?" I'm literally speechless.

"Yeah… yeah I just need a moment Dipper..." Oh god he's hot.
