Chapter 2
Wendy's POV
I'm reading a magazine on the Woodstic festival coming up next month when Stan comes out.
"Hey, Wendy?" he says, tapping my shoulder.
"Sup, Stan? What can I do you for?" I smile and put the magazine down.
"Well, I just got a call from Mabel. She sent a package to the bus station and I need you to go pick it up for me."
"No problem, Stan." I toss the magazine under the counter and grab my keys from off the hook next to the door. I put my vest on and walk out to my truck, loving how Stan just gave me his old beat up truck when he got a new one. I get behind the wheel and buckle in, adjusting it around my boobs, given they've grown a bit over the last few months. I turn the engine over and drive off towards the train station, heading down the road away from the Mystery Shack.
After a while, I start thinking of Dipper. How cute he was and wondering how much he'd changed.
'It can't be much,' I think.
'I mean, he's eighteen, but he was a pint size five years ago. He can't have changed that much. Oh well, I guess I'll find out next time he comes over.'
I continue driving down the road and I pull into the bus station, and kill the engine, taking the belt off. I open the door and step out, then freeze in my tracks whe I see Mabel on the bench and Dipper walking out of the station. I see his lips form my name and I smile, tears flowing down my eyes.
"Dipper! Mabel!" I run up to them and the first one I reach is Mabel. I wrap my arms around her tightly, pressing her into a tight bear hug.
"Wendy… airpipe… ribs… need to breathe, please!" I blush and let go of her.
"Sorry.." I mutter. Once she say's its cool, I turn and look at Dipper who is now walkng up to me.
'Woah, was I wrong…' I think.
'He has changed a lot. Last time I saw him, he was about a foot shorter than me, and now he's over a foot taller. But it's still that same shaggy hair I love.'
"Hey, Wendy..." He says.
"Woah, someone hit puberty." I joke to hide the fact my knees are shaking and his hotness has melted my heart.
"Yeah..." He says after chuckling and rubbing the back of his neck.
"A lot of stuff can happen in five years."
"Ain't that the truth?" I laugh and playfully punch him in the arm, and I can feel the toned muscles he's hiding under his shirt. Not huge, but definitely there.
"So, some package. Was this Stan's idea for me, or something?"
"Nope!" Mabel finally pipes up.
"No one knows we're here but you."
"Cool. So, how long are you guys staying?"
"Mabel's moving in with Stan. As for me, I'm moving into my own little house here. Ford let me have it before I left in case I ever came back." He smiles, that grin making me melt even more.
"Cool, so maybe later we can hang out and have a movie, just like old times?"
"I'd love that, Wendy." He says, hugging me tightly. Then, he whispers in my ear.
"I've missed you so much, and I hope your promise still applies."
I blush and nod, whispering back that it does. I can feel the hug get slightly tighter and he pulls back, much to my great dismay. Dipper graps Mabel's bag and tosses them into the back of the truck, then grab's his own bags and starts walking.
"Dude, don't you want a lift?" I ask, looking at him confused.
"Nah, I'm good. It's that little shack on top of the hill next to the valley. It's not that far from cliff we made out promise on. You can find it easy. See you tonight at eight?"
"Count on it!" I smile at him as he walks off into the trees, disappearing from sight. I start the car and start driving, heading back towards the Mystery Shack.
Mabel's POV
As we're driving back towards the Mystery Shack, I look over at Wendy who's lost in thought.
'Maybe I can cheer her up.' I think, smiling.
"So, Wendy. What's on your mind?"
"Hmm?" She asks, looking over at me?
"Say again?"
"What's on your mind?" I repeat with a giggle.
"Oh, nothing!" She says with a laugh.
"I'm just really happy to see you two again. Yeah, really happy..."
She looks down sadly and I place my hand on her shoulder.
"You love my brother, don't you?" I ask, rubbing her shoulder.
"Yes..." She sighs.
"I love him with all my heart, I always have. It's just, whe you guys lft, he was too young for me. I was sixteen and he was thirteen. That's wierdness to a lot of people. But now, he's eighteen and I'm twenty one. There's no problems anymore, and we can be together! So, I'm really happy."
"Wendy..." I say slowly.
"Dipper's not the same guy anymore. He really isn't."
"What do you mean by that?" She asks nervously.
"Well, after we left Gravity Falls, he shut down for a while. I think leaving you killed him inside a little. After about two weeks, he was like a completely different person. He barely talked to any of us, even me. He would barely eat, he almost never slept, and well… he…"
"He what, Mabel?" She said, concerned.
"Tell me, please!"
"He attempted suicide a few times… I-" The car screeches to a stop suddenly.
"HE DID WHAT?" She screamed, tears running down her face.
"Wendy, listen! You have to understand. He was broken without you. Even I couldn't cheer him up. He has only gotten better within the last year. He went through a four year depressive state nonstop, Wendy. When I told him I wanted to move back to Gravity Falls, he was suddenly getting better. I think finally being able to see you gave him the will to live back." I can tell my words hit her hard and she's trying to process everything.
"But one thing I do know, he still loves you with all his heart. He may be a changed man now, but his love for you is something that hasn't changed. I don't think it ever will."
I look out the window and the Mystery Shack is acouple of blocks away. I get out of the truck and grab my bags, the come to the window again.
"Go on, Wendy. Go make him happy. Go make him the happiest woman in the world."
"I will, Mabel. Thanks."
"Oh, and one last thing." I say, getting serious.
"I've changed too, you know. I'm not the always happy Mabel I used to be. So if you break his heart, Wendy. I will kill you."
She gulps an nods, seeig I was serious. She drives off and I take a deep breath and smile, starting to walk towards the Mystery Shack. After about ten minutes of walkng, I open the door to the Shack and see Stan. He sees me and starts tearing up, then rushes forward and pulls me into a hug.
"Oh, kiddo..." He says crying.
"I've missed you so much. Look at you now! Eighteen years old and you still look like my little girl."
"Grunkle Stan, stop it..." I say, giggling.
"Where's Wendy and your brother? I want to say hi to him, too."
"He's moving into his new place. Ford gave him his old shack in the valley, so he's moving into there. As for Wendy, well… That's kind of a long story."
He notices the tone in my voice and locks the door, switches the sing to closed, and brings me into the living room.
"What's happened?"
I start going into what's happened over the last five years, and he listens intently. I tell him about the suicide attempts, the depression, and everything else. I tell him about Wendy and how she went to cheer him up.
"I see… Well, he's a changed man, for sure. Whether or not it's for the better for him and Wendy, I can't say yet. But one thing I do know is this. Wendy loves him with all her heart. She hasnt had any boyfriends or even gone out on a date since you two munchkins left five years ago. I think she was saving herself for him. All we can do now, is wait and see how it turns out."
Hey, everyone. I hoped you like chapter two. What do you guys think about what I did with Dipper there. Logic can go striaght out the window when dealing with heartbreak. Anywho, read and review, please no flames, however helpful criticism is allowed. Tips are appreciated. As I said before, I will try to write a new chapter every other day, but don't blame me if I can't. See you next time. This is Mystery Critic, signing off.
