Diclaimer: Nope, nothing is mine here.
One more prompt ready! Will I make it to the end? will I get lazy? Will the world end before the end of the week, leaving only frustration and self loathing over an incomplete job? Oh my gosh! Now I'm nervous!
DANCE
Somewhere in Oregon, a mysterious town full of mysteries, was having a party in the grounds of a mysterious shack, now known as the Mystery Shack. There were mysteries there, although its formal name, Murder Hutt, was quite cool if you asked the owner.
Well, as it happens, this place was right now raging with light and the chattering of half a town which would seen normal enough. The place was filled with balloons of white filled to the brim with candy. The food was made up by a woman with one eye complimented greatly by a big bear with way too many heads, while to one side a big man, that was half-bull, was arms wrestling another big ginger man, the later being cheered on by a very enthusiastic mayor, while a gang of teenagers cheered the big bull guy. Tyni little man with red pointed hats could be seen at every corner flirting with girls, but after being growled at by one in glasses and karate pose they were more careful in their approach. To one side to police officers were happily feeding pie to one another, while to the other side a horse with makeup and a horn was obnoxiously showing off her beautiful hair. Still that was not weird at all, and not even a mystery, no more than the rock that looked like a face rock.
From the little golf ball like people playing in the pit cola fountain, to the old man in a fancy suit dancing with a codger this was a big normal party for that specific town. In fact, the weirdest element in the whole party was the couple of ring bearers, which was surprisingly married for longer than the actual bride and groom. The pig and the goat seemed happy together though and their maid of honor always swore their love would never die, even more after their kids hatched and flew away south.
That is what happens in Gravity Falls, if you have a wedding and give the planning to a certain bubbly of excitement call Mabel Pines. Still, a certain young man, despite being happy for having so many friends around, was just a little anxious over his near future.
"I won't do it"
"Dude we have to"
"Why?"
"Because is part of the ceremony, and Mabel said so"
"I thought this was our wedding"
"It is" Wendy told him for what felt the thousand time, it never got old. "But well, we did say the party was up to her."
"You said it"
"Okay I said it, but Tambry was my best woman"
"Mabel still got to be my grooms woman or something"
"Well, yeah but, look I don't think you would have done differently." She smartly replied, and he sighed, knowing it to be true. Then his gaze traveled around Shack's property.
"I don't know if I can do this in front of all those… Huh… Guests" He said in a weak voice, sweating already.
"Well dude, you don't need to worry, I know for a fact you are a great dancer" She told him sincerely, but her new husband wouldn't let go.
"I-I know, but look at this! Everyone is watching! Even the freaky rock!"
"I always thought it was a face that looked like a rock" He looked at her exasperatedly and Wendy chuckled, throwing a snack at her mouth before trying to reason with him. "Dude, I still don't get it, I mean I thought Soos was there in your first creepy fantasy"
"It wasn't that creepy"
"Yes it was dude, totally creepy, the clones too" She said snickering before taking a sip of cola, Dipper groaned ignoring his own food.
"Why did I tell you that again?"
"Because, and I quote, you wanted to tell me how much I meant to you even then" She stated with a grin. "It was sweet that you got all worked up for me"
He smirked "Like you with the proposal thingy?"
"Dude" Wendy groaned playfully. "You're never forgetting that are you?"
"I will never forget how much you were blushing"
"Good because that is not happening again"
"It happened at the altar"
"Is never happening again from now on"
He rolled his eyes, and she hit his shoulder playfully. He chuckled as he rubbed the injured arm, before going back to the matter at hand. "Anyway, you're right, Soos was in my fantasy, but he was playing a trumpet and he had his eyes shut, and in my fantasy I won't stumble from losing control of my legs"
"I know dude, I rock your world and all that" She laughed until she almost snorted and almost forgot his problem, fondly staring at his wife.
The party was occupying basically the whole area of the Shack, with the wide decorations of white glittery nature, the buffet table, the dancing ground and big boom boxes demanded by Mabel and Soos at some point of the planning. Wendy snickered, watching the guests chatting around, it had been only five minutes ago that Mabel had come to warn them about the couple's first and most important dance of their lives forever ever ever.
"It's a super important thing guys, so don't think you can escape it otherwise you will ruin my super ultra perfect wedding party for the second best couple ever!" The brunette had said without one intake of breath. "And I promise you two it's going to be the most romantic moment or your lives, Love is going to pour from out of your ears!"
Dipper and Wendy had trembled at the imagery.
Really for someone who basically lived as she wanted Mabel Pines proved to be a very strict planner, not that Wendy minded, honestly she couldn't care less about those kinds of stuff as long as Dipper was there. And he was and they said yes and kissed long and hard to the cheers of their friends.
Wendy didn't believe a dance would make this night better, anyway.
"Is that your father staring at me?" Dipper asked and Wendy turned around, seeing her dad waving at them, the arm of his suit torn apart from his clash with Chutzpar. "He is going to see us dance too, now I-I definitely can't do this"
"Oh, dude, don't sweat it he is happy!"
"I can't really tell"
"No one can, but I know it" Wendy told him, as he tried to lose his tie, she helped him with that, and snorted a bit.
"What?"
"You know, you actually look nice with a loose tie" She told him.
"W-wha… Really?"
"Yeap" She grinned at him seductively. "Very manly"
He stopped at that, smiling right back at her, that cute ego busted smile she loved. "You think so?"
"Of course, besides you're my man now, so what I say goes" She poked at his chest just to be sure, and he grinned.
"So…" His eyes traveled around the party. "Does that mean the other way around goes to?"
"I don't know about that" She feigned disinterest, smiling to herself.
All around now she could see their friends and family gathering around tables to eat and chat. Her father was soon joined by her brothers, all of them competing over who could eat more. Soos and Mabel were still taking care of the sound at a corner, or rather Soos was working and Mabel was chatting with Grenda, Candy and Pacifica about how she made her rainbow dress, which drew more attention than the bride's own plain and simple green one. Wendy never wanted for anything fancy just a fairly good party, with lots of food, that allowed walking around in her boots instead of some fancy heels. Even her makeup was as simple as possible and only because her phone addicted bestwoman insisted.
In fact she would have done without the cake, even if the big pile of frosting, decorated with big pink words of congratulation, indeed seemed delicious.
"Hey, where are Ford and Stan?" She realized only now there was no sign of the two old twins. She could see Gideon talking around with pirate bandit girl from across the sea, Tambry and Robbie chatting in rushed tones with Larry King's head and even Thompson coughing and cleaning his throat to try and talk to a girl.
"They said they had a surprise for us…" Dipper said chewing on his cheek. "Something about our wedding gift"
"Oh dude, please don't tell me Ford is doing something freaky with Stan's input"
He gave her a sheepish smile at that. "Ok then, I won't"
The red haired shook her head and reached for his hand across the table, she felt it sweaty and that was just another sign of his nervousness. Then his eyes widened as he saw the way Soos suddenly got up and turned the sound on, calling for Mabel.
Mabel smiled widely now, the mic was on and she held back a squeak from so much joy. Her broseph and Wendy were married for life, definitely and forever because they loved each other so much, and the day was so awesome and exciting she couldn't help herself anymore.
"All yours Hambone" Soos called turning the sound system on.
"OKAYEVERYONE HOW ARE YOU!" she yelled immediately, the crowd covered ears and Mabel grinned sheepishly. "Sorry, sorry, my bad!"
The girl cleaned her throat, adjusted her bum, and fidget from on foot to the other, her rainbow dress full of glitter was shining as it twirled around her form.
"So anyway, hi everyone!" After the crowd answered in a chorus she giggled and kept going. "Well as everyone know we are all here for a very big party, for a very big and awesome occasion of my bro-bro and wen-wen finally tying the knot guys, so give me a round of applause people!" She raised the mic joyfully as the crowd followed.
"And now, after all that beautiful beautiful ceremony why don't we start this party with the couple's dance! Come on people I say Wendip and you say Dance! WENDIP!" Silence, Mabel looked around. "WENDIP!"
"Huh, Mabel"
The girl groaned "Come on! There are no zombies this time, why isn't this working?"
She glanced at Pacifica, and the followed her finger pointing to a certain place. The center table was in the back of the crowd, where bride and groom sat at the center of everything right beside the cake. The problem was, there was no bride or groom to be seen.
"Huh, Mabel dear, where is your brother?" She heard her mother asking from behind a few balloons blocking her face.
"Huh… Dipper? Wendy?" She asked in the mic. "Are you guys around?" More silence. "Will you guys show up if everyone yells dance after I yell Wendip?" Silence still.
Pacifica, feeling the need arise, approach the girl to whisper the obvious. "Mabel, I think they ditched us"
"WHAT?!"
The sound made everyone cover ears again, but Mabel didn't care, she was furious. Wendy and Dipper should know better than to ruin their own party, the perfect couple's dance was supposed to be the most romantic thing ever, and be so romantic everyone's hearts would explode from the romance alone. Sure, they were the privacy kind, but still, she was looking forward to gush at the loving sweet gazes of happiness.
"Huh, Mabel, everyone is watching" For a second she could only blink at Pacifica, then she turned around to the crowd of guests, frowning all the time. She watched the pink beam of light at the empty center stage, Soos with his hand already trembling to start the music at her cue, and the way the dance floor was clear and shiny.
"Well" She said with a seeming sad sigh, stopping the murmuring "If there is no second best couple ever, I guess the best couple ever will have to blind you all with awesome!"
"Huh, Mabel I'm not…"
"Too late! Soos hit the romance!"
"Hitting the romance!" Soos shouted, just as Mabel took Pacifica's hand and pulled her to the middle of the dance floor, the blonde's delighted squeal making her smile. Not to worry, Wendy and Dipper would owe her one, it didn't matter if she enjoyed their absence fully.
"So how does this feel like?"
"Very nice" He responded, resting his head at the nape of her neck, rocking silently to the distant music.
"Just nice?" She asked mockingly.
"Okay, okay…" He gave in giggling. "It's fantastic and the grass tickles"
It had been Wendy's idea to lose the shoes, and that, Dipper knew, made the experience even more surreal and enjoyable. He adjusted the hand at her hips, and the couple swirled around amidst the lonely clearing with the party's lights beating like a sunrise behind the layer of trees.
"Good to know that" She answered. His shivering when her breathe reached his neck made her smile, and she could feel him dozing off and nodding as the dance progressed, the proximity all that much better as they almost stop moving except for the tiniest suggestion of going back and forth.
At that moment she could feel all her love for her worrywart of a husband.
Bringing him here had been at first just a thought to make him dance, because she knew he was a good dancer, and they deserved it. It was their night after all. Now though, she knew she was a flipping genius, and this was just too good.
Holding him close, feeling his hand taking hers, taking in his scent and his breathing just as close to her own shoulder, made the world into something just for the two of them.
Because of a moonlit barefooted dance this night became so much better.
Done, Done! Only... I can't remember how many to go! XD
