With his car pulling back into the strip mall Dipper makes his way towards the law office of Donald Dumey. As the door opens a man who looks like he would be more likely selling used cars than practicing law approaches him. With his hand outstretched he starts the introduction.

" Ah you must be Mr. Mason Pines. " He says while shaking his hands.

Dipper takes note of how sweaty his palms were as after the shake he wipes away the dampness onto his jeans.

" Yes that's me. "

" Well good and I am Donnie Dumey. Stan Pines hired me to look after his and Ford's estate in the unlikely event of a mishap on their adventures. And sadly that's just what happened. As I am sure you are aware of. Both of your uncles were declared legally dead as many of their personal belongings were left among the wreckage of their ship. " Mr. Dumey simply stated.

" Yeah I am completely aware. " He said while looking down at the ground.

The pain of knowing that his Grunkle's are missing or even dead had subsided slightly. But it was still very much there. And maybe this might be his only way to find out more.

" Well I'm sure you are ready to get on with everything then. We can start with filling out some paperwork then. " Mr. Dumey said while gathering up a file with numerous papers jammed inside of it.

Mr. Dumey handed Dipper the folder. While opening it he read the first sheet and it was the will of Grunkle Stan and Grunkle Ford. A pang of guilt hit him as he turned the page. After having the lawyer explain a few things throught out the document. Dipper had finished reading signing and initaling the documents. Soon he was handing back over.

" Thank You Mr. Pines. What this basically means is that you along with Mr. Jesus Ramirez are now the joint owners of the Mystery Shack. Except for the fact that you are the sole legal owner of everything of scientific value in regards to the property of Stanford Pines. " Mr. Dumey said while finalizing the deal with a simple shake of the hand.

Dipper settled back into the chair as the lawyer continued to talk.

" Stan and Ford had nothing but good things to say about you Mr. Pines. When they came here last year to ammend their will I could tell that they both thought highly of you. And that Ford in particular thought you would be the best guardian for his property. " He said while lightly smiling.

" Wow I never realized that to be honest. So is there anything else I need to know? " He asked still in a bit of shock that he was now in control of Ford's scientific inventions.

" No I do believe we are done here Mr. Pines. My secretary is making copies for you at the moment. If you do have any questions feel free to call the office and Sarah will deliver any message to me. "

" Well okay then. Thank you very much. " They shook hands once more before Dipper was handed an envelope with a copy of everything he had just signed.

Soon he was back in his car and pulling into the local motel. The trunk of his car and back seat were filled to the brim with his laptop clothes and other necessities. After getting the keycard from the day manager Dipper tossed a small bag onto the bed in the middle of the room. Quickly taking his clothes off down to his boxers he took the bag into the bathroom with him. Moments later he was done showering. Soon he was changing into some new clothes. He took his cell phone off the bed and texted Wendy.

Hey I'm done with the lawyer. You wanna meet up for some early dinner or something? -Dipper

About two minutes later she had texted a response.

Yeah sure that sounds great. I'll meet you at the diner in about 30 minutes and maybe we can go somewhere else sound good? - Wendy

Ok cool cya then - Dipper

About a half hour later Dipper was pulling into the parking lot of Greasy's as he saw Wendy standing outside of a silver F350. He thought to himself how beautiful she looked in that turquoise dress. It suited her auburn hair really well. But he shook the thought away as this was just a simple dinner between two old friends. Plus Wendy never thought about him like that to begin with he told himself.

" You look nice. " He said while getting out of his car.

" Aw thanks Dipper. " She smiled while motioning him over.

" You can call me Mason if you want. " He stated a little shyly.

" Uh why? "

" Well um I don't know. Just well its my real name and what I've kinda been going by through out college. "

" Well I'll try ok? " She said with a smirk.

" Ha okay thanks. "

" No problem Dipper. " She chuckled " Looks like I coudln't. "

" Yeah yeah. " He laughed a bit.

She smiled while sticking her tongue out at him.

" So Marnie is watching Dylan. "

" Oh cool how is your step mom and dad doing? "

" They're doing pretty good. I'm glad he found her to be honest. The boys really benefited from her being around. Anyway where would you like to go? A great micro brewery opened in Greenville. They got great appetizers and their burgers are amazing. "

" Nice. Sounds good to me. "

" Great lets get in my truck and we'll be there in no time. "

Soon they were making their way down the road and merging onto the highway.

" We should be there in about fifteen mintues. " She stated while hooking up her phone through the bluetooth to burst out some music. " So besides your degree. What else did you do in college? Did Dippy Fresh finally become a man? "

She burst out laughing while Dipper blushed a bit.

" Hey I wasn't a virgin going into college. "

He quickly looked away even more embarassed. Knowing that he had just told his long time crush that he in fact lost his virginity a long time ago wasn't , caused a great deal of awkwardness. Slowly he tapped at his right leg when Wendy started to speak.

" I'm sorry Dipper. I wasn't trying to put you on the spot. If it makes you feel any better. I was. Michael was my first and... " She paused for a moment. Seemingly at a loss for words. " My last. "

Dipper turned to face her as he saw that she truly was sorry. It was something in her eyes that told him she was being honest.

" I know..." Now it was Dippers time to be trying to find the right thing to say. " Not about Michael I mean. I meant I know you were just goofing around. Sorry I overreacted. Its just I haven't really even been on a date since Junior year and it didn't go all that well to be honest. "

" So is this a date then? " She said with a soft chuckle.

Dippers face scrunched up a bit.

" Um no haha. " He said while slightly shaking his head.

" Relax I'm just messing around with you. " She said while lightly punching his shoulder.

She looked away after saying that. Her face looked a bit disheartened if one was being honest. And Dipper of course deep down was still hoping that it could become a first date one day. But he again pushed that feeling away because at the moment he had other things to worry about.

" Uh huh. You know all the ladies want The Pines men. " He said with a smirk.

" Oh is that so. And who said you're a man. Or that I'm a lady for that matter. "

Both of them shared a laugh at that. A few more minutes of back and forth conversation and they were pulling up to the restaraunt. With the engine cutting off Wendy turned to face Dipper.

" So shall we commence our date then? " She said with a small laugh.

" Yeah sure. " He said while lightly poking her side.

The two of them exited the car and headed towards their so called reunion dinner or date if one was being honest about their feelings.
