Dipper walked down the hallway, very mad at himself for getting so completely tongue tied and acting so stupid around Wendy.
"I can't believe I did that!" He scolded himself. "She finally says "hi" to me and what do I do? I choked!" He growled facepalming himself. "UGH! Like a big spaz!"
He leaned against the door of the janitor's office, which suddenly opened and almost made him fall down.
"Oops sorry dude." Soos apologized. "Where have you been, buddy?"
Dipper stood up and dusted himself off.
"Oh. Hey Soos. Did you get the camera?" Dipper asked.
Soos walked over to his desk and opened one of the drawers taking out a very expensive looking camera.
"Look dude if Mr. Pines finds out I took his camera he'll fire me...or kill me. Or he'll kill me then he'll fire me."
Dipper just stared at him.
"Grunkle Stan wouldn't go that far, and besides how can he fire you if you're dead?"
"Are you sure we gotta do this?" Soos asked worriedly.
"This is my only chance Soos! To Wendy I'm...I'm just a nobody." He said lightly messing with one of the locks on a near by locker. "But after today..."
Suddenly Dipper and Soos were flooded by a very bright light, making them squint their eyes. Dipper held up his hands to try and block out some of the light.
"Mabel." He said knowingly.
She was standing drinking at the water fountain with a straw. Dipper and Soos walk over to examine the video equipment on a dolly, impressed. Since Mabel was part of the Drama Club she was able to get all the stuff that was needed for Dipper's plan.
"Wow Mabel is all of this for us?!" Dipper asked excitedly.
"Yummy, slurpage!" Mabel said with a big smirk as she finished drinking.
"Oh this is gonna be so great, man!" Dipper said happily as he began to wheel the video equipment away. But he didn't get far...
"Hold on a minute brother, I need my art supplies." Mabel said after pulling the video equipment back.
"Oh right your fee! Yeah it's right here." Dipper reached into his backpack, brought out a bag, and handed it to his sister.
Mabel reached into the bag and pull out a Bedazzler. She let out an small gasp as a look of pure happiness showed up on her face.
"A BEDAZZLER! WOO HOO! BEDAZZZLLLLLEEEER!" Mabel cheered.
Dipper and Soos gave her a weird look as she started to use it on herself, even Bedazzling her face.
"LOOK I'M SHINY!" She squealed, pointing to herself.
The two boys didn't know what to think of it and just looked at each other awkwardly. Mabel came up behind them hugging them both around the shoulders.
"Lets do it ladies!"
"Um...Mabel, you're the only lady here, we're guys." Dipper pointed out.
"Technicalities shmechnicalities." Mabel replied.
In the school auditorium the entire student body was there, making noise and throwing paper. Casey, a goth boy with raven black hair and dark brown eyes and wearing black jeans and a black hooded jacket, stood at the podium in the middle of the stage. He was Wendy's best friend, they had known each other pretty much since they were children. He was like a big brother to her.
"As student body president, I just want to say, like, "yea" to all of us for a really neat year." Casey began.
"Yo Casey! Talk to me! Talk to me! Talk to me, babaaaay!" yelled a Trekkie girl from the audience.
Casey just glared at her unamused before continuing his speech.
"And I also hope you can all attend my totally amazing end-of-school party next Saturday to watch the ElectricDash concert live on Pay-Per-View."
Everyone cheered happily at that announcement. ElectricDash was the most popular singer so all the students were excited about seeing the concert.
"Thank you. Thank you very much. And now, without further ado, Principal Blubs."
Casey exited the stage and rejoined Wendy in the audience. A sudden silence fell as Blubs walked onto the stage. The microphone squealed as Blubs begins to speak.
"Thank you, Casey! And good morning, boys and girls! You know, every year on the last day of school I have several youngsters approach me and say, "Principal Blubs, what can we do to not waste our summer vacation? We don't want to waste our free time sleeping or visiting friends..."
All the students were already bored with his speech , and so yawned and/or pretended to fall asleep. Even Wendy was yawning, she had no interest in the boring nonsense Blubs was talking about.
A popular boy named Robbie, who was sitting in the row behind Wendy, leaned over to talk to her.
"Say Wendy, about Casey's party..."
Dipper looked and saw Robbie talking to Wendy through a part in the curtain. He became slightly wide-eyed, a little afraid that Wendy would decide to go out with Robbie. Dipper closed the curtain, and zipped up his ElectricDash costume.
"How, uh, how are you doing down there, Mabel?" He asked a bit nervously.
She popped up from a bunch of wires and pulled up the mask she had on.
"Don't give me that attitude, you guys. I'm doing it all for you." She responded before pulling the mask back down and started to use a torch on on of the wires.
"Waiiiiiit a minute, who let you use the power tools!?" Dipper nearly panicked.
"Hey I'm doing this for you brother! You wanted my help so *SHHHHHHHH!*."
"This is nuts! I don't know why I let you dudes talk me into this. If Mr. Pines finds out he's gonna nuke my entire existence!" Soos said messing around with the camera.
However he didn't really look where he was going, causing him to get his foot caught on a wire. He tried to shake it off but he just ended up tripping and partially appeared under the curtain. Luckily Blubs didn't notice and continued on with his speech. Dipper quickly picked Soos back up, who was chuckling apologetically.
"Oh, I hope this works!" Dipper said.
Blubs still on the stage was still rambling on.
"...how about Science Slumber Parties?!" He suggested excitedly
Suddenly the spotlight goes out.
"Wha..." Blubs was confused as to what happened.
Dipper put on his shades and gave a thumbs-up to the other two. Mabel gave a thumbs up back, same with Soos who still has a nervous look on his face.
Mabel pressed a button, causing rock music to begin. A large screen began to rise behind Principal Blubs.
"Wha..." Blubs noticed the screen coming up from behind him and turned around. "Hey!"
Dipper appeared on the screen, unrecognizable to Blubs and the other students thanks to his costume.
"I'm not going to..." Blubs started to say before Mabel pulled a lever.
Blubs screamed as he fell through a trap door underneath him. Everyone gasped but Mabel laughed joyfully.
Dipper starts to lip sync to the song...
Dipper:
Some people settle for the typical thing
Living all their lives waiting in the wings.
It ain't a question of if, just a matter of time
Before I move to the front of the line.
The audience cheered with excitement as they watched the screen to see what looked to be ElectricDash dancing. The two Trekkies high-fived each other.
Wendy watched very much impressed. She could easily recognize him through the costume, and she was probably the only one. It was Dipper. The same boy who earlier had fallen down the bleachers, the one who got all tongue-tied in front of her. Now here he was dancing like ElectricDash himself in front of the entire school. She bit her lip to contain herself while twirling her hair around her fingers.
Casey glanced over to Wendy and saw that expression on her face. This was the first time he'd ever seen Wendy act like this towards anyone but he just gave her a sly smile, which she didn't even notice.
Dipper:
I watch you watching every move that I make
You gotta believe that I got what it takes.
Dipper tripped over one of the wires back stage and ripped through the screen, tumbling to front center stage. The students roared out screams of their approval.
Music:
To stand out above the crowd
Even if I gotta shout out loud.
Dipper was actually amazed to see the reception his act is getting. On the side of the stage Mabel laughed and tickled Soos happily over the success of the plan. Both gave Dipper a thumbs up.
Music:
'Til mine is the only face you'll see.
Gonna stand out 'til you notice me, yeah.
He looks around for a moment before glancing at the front row where Wendy was. She was holding her knees to her chest to contain herself and staring up at the stage in expectation, a grin upon her face. Casey was still watching her with a smirk.
Dipper noticed this and smiled widely.
Mabel turns on a CO2 fire extinguisher she had gotten and turned it on. Smoke started to cover the floor
"A little smokeage! Whoop! Whoop!" Mabel said excitedly, enjoying herself.
Dipper started to lip sync once more as he danced closer to the front of the stage. He then did the moonwalk backwards in front of Wendy.
Dipper:
If I make you stop and take a look at me instead of just
Walking by.
Suddenly, he was leaning over the edge, staring at her from behind those shades he was wearing. Wendy stared back, meeting his gaze as he leaned in even closer, still singing his song.
Dipper:
There's nothing that I wouldn't do
If it was getting you to notice
I'm alive.
Wendy held her breath, her cheeks turning a bright red. He was close she didn't know what was gonna happen next, but then he suddenly pulled back up onto the stage again.
Dipper:
All I need is half a chance
A second thought, a second glance
Will prove I got whatever it takes.
It's a piece of cake.
Mabel suddenly got an idea and handed Soos a rope with a hook on it. Soos snuck over to Dipper under cover of the CO2 fog and hooked it onto Dipper's belt from behind. Soos then went to the other side of the stage and stood up, giving Mabel a thumbs up. She smirked at the cue.
"Up ya go Dipper!" She said, quietly so that no one could hear her, and yanked on the rope.
This sent Dipper flying around the room.
Music:
To stand out above the crowd.
Even if I gotta shout out loud.
Dipper flew over the students, all who were cheering and trying to high-five him or something. Pacifica even was fangirling over him even though she didn't know who he was.
"Wow! Who is that guy?" She squealed.
Dipper swung past a boy who was spinning a basketball on his finger, quickly grabbed the ball, and slam-dunked it into a hoop that was at the back of the auditorium.
Music:
'Til mine is the only face you'll see. Gonna...
Dipper swung back toward the front and headed for Wendy who was now standing in her seat and reaching her own hand out. Dipper reached for her outstretched hand, but just as Dipper's hand was about to grab a hold of Wendy's the music died. Dipper went spinning through the air, finally ending up by Principal Blubs. Blubs was furious about all this and removed Dipper's shades to reveal his true identity.
All the students gasped.
"Hey it's the Pines boy." Someone shouted from the crowd.
Wendy just smiled. So she was right.
"BUSSSTED!" Mabel said holding onto Soos who was trying to get away.
Blubs glared back at Dipper who just looks down. He knew he was in trouble now but it was well worth it.
