Ages: Dipper 15, Wendy 18

Dipper's POV:

Dipper could not believe summer was here again. He was now 15 years old, but his crush, Wendy, was already 18. She was graduating high school this year. Luckily, even if she went away for college, she would return to Gravity Falls for summer. Dipper and Mabel arrived at the Mystery Shack fairly late; it was almost seven.

They knocked on the door, and a distraught Wendy answered. "What's wrong, Wendy?" Dipper said. "It's that jerk Walter. Today is my prom, and we were going to go together, but he cancelled so he could go with some girl named Jane. He didn't even apologize." Wendy said. "That's awful. I thought Walter was a good guy." Dipper said. "Now I don't have anyone to go with to prom. I know it's not like me, to care about stuff like this, but its prom!" Wendy said. "Hey! Dipper could take you!" Mabel said excitedly. "Uh.. Can I talk to you for a second Mabel?" Dipper said. "Ok."

They went into the other room. "What are you doing? Don't embarrass me!" Dipper said. "Come on, Dipper! This is a great chance for you to have a romantic night with Wendy!" Mabel said. "She's upset about Walter. When she broke up with Robbie, I asked her to go bowling, and she got really mad at me. I just think it's a bad idea." Dipper said. "Uh, Dipper? I don't know what you guys are talking about, but I'd love it if you took me to prom. You know, as friends." Wendy said. Dipper ceartinly wished they could go as more than friends, but either way, going to prom with Wendy was a plus. "Cool!" Dipper said. "Let me just get dressed."

Twenty minutes later, Dipper was ready to go to the prom. "You look great!" Wendy said. "Thanks." Dipper said, blushing. "Ah.. I don't really have a limo or anything." "Screw the limo, we'll take the golf cart!" Wendy said. "Ok, cool!" Dipper said. The two headed off together to the prom.

After they arrived and paid, the amazing night began. Dipper and Wendy started by sitting down at a table and chatting with Thompson, Lee, and Nate. When Wendy left to get some food, Lee turned to Dipper and said, "Nice man! How'd you pull this off?". "Uh, Walter ditched her and I was kind of just in the right place at the right time. Luck, really " Dipper replied. "I don't know, sounds like fate to me." Nate said. "What? Why do you even care?" Dipper asked. "Dude. You guys are like the perfect couple. All of us agreed you make Wendy happier than any other guy. And believe me, there has been a lot of guys." Lee said. "Well, thanks. She dosen't like me, though." Dipper said. "Ah, but you are at prom together. Anything could happen." Nate said.

Wendy returned, and the gang continued to chat. Even Robbie came by for a bit. He and Dipper were by no means best buddies, but they got along alright ever since Woodstick. He even gave Dipper a thumbs up when he saw him with Wendy. The prom continued into the night. Dipper and Wendy had tons of fun: Joining a conga line, laughing at Walter making a fool of himself on the dance floor, and listening to the awesome music.

Towards the end of prom, a slower song came on. Soos, the DJ, said, "Ok, for all you couples out there, this is the time to dance!" Many couples got up and started slow dancing. Lee, Nate, and Thompson stood up and asked three girls to dance, who all accepted. Lee turned and gave a thumbs-up to going on the dance floor. Dipper knew what this meant. Lee was suggesting that Dipper ask Wendy to dance. He wanted to, but he still felt scared. Then, he remembered a day long ago when he had made a promise. He had promised Tyrone to never act like a wimp around Wendy. With all the courage he could muster, he said "Wendy? Would you like to dance?" Wendy smiled. "Sure!" she said.

The two of them stepped onto the dance floor and started dancing. "Dipper, thank you so much for taking me to prom. I can always count on you." Wendy said. "It was my pleasure." Dipper replied. The two continued dancing. Dipper looked at Wendy, thinking about everything he loved about her. The fact that she was beautiful without makeup, the fact that she couln't care less if they had a limo or not, the fact that she liked Dipper for who he was. Dipper almost went in to kiss Wendy before he remembered. They were just friends. Dipper tried to push that thought aside and enjoy the moment. After the song, Soos announced that the prom was over. "Are we going to any after parties?" Dipper asked. "Eh, those parties always suck or end up really hectic. Let's just go to Greasy's for a snack or something." Wendy said. "Sounds good to me." Dipper said.

The two headed in the golf cart to Greasy's, where there was nobody but the employees. They both ordered a hamburger, and then sat down at a booth. "I had a great time tonight!" Wendy said. "Yeah, I did too. Sorry about Walter." Dipper said. Wendy frowned. "Ugh. I hate how every guy I dated is either a jerk or a monster. Is it me?" Wendy said. "No, of course not. Walter had me convinced that he was a good guy, too. You just got unlucky. You deserve way better." Dipper said. "Thanks, man" Wendy replied. They chatted and ate their hamburgers. Then, They drove the golf cart back to the Mystery Shack, and Dipper got off. "Thanks for an awesome night, Dipper!" Wendy said. "Same to you." Dipper replied.

Dipper went back into the shack, and Mabel was right there. "HOW DID IT GO? IMUST KNOW EVERY DETAIL!" Mabel said. "Calm down, it went great. We had a great time. We even danced." Dipper said. "OH MY GOD, YOU DANCED?" Mabel said. "Yeah, calm down. We're still just friends." Dipper said. "Hey, it's a step in the right direction!" Mabel said. "I hope so." Dipper said.

Wendy's POV:

As Wendy drove home, she thought about the night. She had a great time with Dipper, that was for sure. Maybe he would make a good boyfriend after all. He is the one guy she can count on, and they always have a great time together. No, it would be too weird. They are three years apart. It would be better if they just stay friends.
