Dipper awoke in a complete darkness, which tightly surrounded his vision, making him temporary blind for a good while, until his eyes accustomed to the obscurity. Nevertheless, Dipper's body was in the nearly unbearable heat, since there was not only one blanket - he had been pulling some more on him, which lay in the background of the bed as a reserve. Within few movements, which made blankets to entirely fall of the bed, Dipper fell into freedom, finally moving around was easy. Dipper turned around, leaning slightly toward, till he was straightly sitting.
He narrowed his eyes, searching for another abstract scale underneath the coverlet, which lay on the right side of the bet. But surprisingly, there wasn't anything. Even if he dared to place an arm on there, he felt only bedsheets 'neath. He grasped the realization of Wendy simply waking up, and doing night things every done nevertheless. But something was right, Dipper felt a bit pressed since the feels weren't any unstrange. "Did she drink too much before we went to sleep? No..." thought he. Dipper came to conclusion, which made him deciding to go and find her, because it felt off, like if it was not unexpected.
Dipper tip-toed across the whole house, and double-checked every room, but however each of them were deadly empty. It left Dipper in anxiety, since it meant she was not in the house. And Dipper, itself demanded her presence and of course, be safe. But one thing he knew well about her - she way too much liked roofs, no matter how much she got caught and cursed, it had to be acceptable since she was a tomboy. Even if they had wholly different personalities, Dipper liked her exactly because of her demeanor. Sometimes she did something, Dipper would not dare to, and even if they were both caught in crime, it only left them some magnificent memories to remind in the future.
Meanwhile Dipper put on his ol' trusty slippers and went toward the exit. Dipper exited the cabin and was already coldly welcomed by the moon highly glowing in the night skies, which was covered by millions of stars. Immediately, Dipper found a Big Dipper up there which made him smile. Furtively, he climbed up the ladder, merely because he wanted to check Wendy's former hiding spot. Although the dust showed how much the place was abandoned, Dipper stubbornly continued his way, even if the construction may be unstable.
Dipper peeked out, and somewhat dazed, but mostly confused, his eyes laid upon the fiery red hair, which waved in ease since the little breeze flew around. He decided not to scare her.
- "There you're, finally found ya!" - He happily said and looked at Wendy, who abruptly turned around, her eyes scared as she turned into the alter-self.
- "Dipper? W-what are you doing here?" - She stuttered out, still in awe, since she confidently thought that this place was only in her mind.
- "I just went out to find you, since your tries to get out of the bed quietly, we're awful," - He chuckled a little, while joing Wendy's atmosphere. - "But anyway, what are you doing up here so late?"
- "I... I'm just sleepless today, don't know why..." - She moved away, just to let Dipper beside, but mistook the point she wanted to place her leg, so it broke through the wooden floor, within the horrible sound. Nearly late, Dipper managed to catch her by the arm, and pulled her back.
- "Are you ok?" - He fearfully asked.
- "Yeah, yeah I'm ok," - Wendy heavily inhaled the air and got up, this time with all of her care and caution. - "Im so stupid, I haven't slept in couple of past weeks."
- "Why so?" - Dipper curiously asked, automatically.
- "I don't know, but when I get to sleep, I see some haunting nightmares, with a deep semantics..." - said she, shivering about the bad dreams. - "Y'know? These aren't any regular nightmares, I always see black figures, which are holding a pearl with you..." - She abruptly stopped, because she realized what she was saying, - "With you locked inside..."
- "Huh?" - said he, entirely said. Somewhat it felt embarrassing, since each of them had a subdued opinion about one another, but however, it didn't negatively affect their friendship, - "It must be related to something... I have seen strange things recently too."
- "I think it is just a mirage, then..." - she optimistically reasoned, - "Since Bill is destroyed there's nothing we can be afraid of."
- "You're right at some point," - Dipper agreed, being fulfilled with thoughts like "it's just a dream" about the odd enough occasions.
- "Y'know, we can expect anything, anytime, but until we're aware of being thinking about it 24/7," - He morosely looked down, - "You'll just mentally damage yourself eventually," - Both got few good chuckles, 'till Wendy let out a very enermous yawn, - "It would be better if we go back to sleep now."
The pair leisurely stood up and haltingly made their way to the ladders. Due the incident, stepping across the room was dangerous, so with an actual half-brain te duo had to step only on specific points which were egregoriously hard to remember. But at the same time, at least Dipper was escorted by a perfect connoisseur called Wendy. She knew every detail, every slit, every crack in this house as if she spent over myriads of hours in inspecting the house's environment. Nor much, neither less time passed doing their "epic live-or-die" challenge, it wasn't easy, even if it seemed otherwise.
Dipper and Wendy finally got a chance to lay in the bed again, the cold blankets were mostly heated by Dipper, which spread across the whole coverlet. Both being as comfortable as possible, fell fast asleep already, which wasn't anything special, since the myriads of facts about sleeplessness were showing on their bodies and mental tiredness. _Wendy awoke, with a late feeling as if it was 12 PM already. Her nose buried into Dipper's back, feeling the nearly steam coming from this spot, since she outputed more than "lot of" amount of heat thru her nose. Finding herself in anl situation which felt pretty awkward, Wendy Corduroy had her alternative tempers switched on; in a quick description: clumsy, nervous and idealess, although she's a tomboy. At this moment she counted herself guilty, and somewhat awestruck, since she had been magneted to Dipper.
At this moment, Wendy tried to remove her arm off Dipper, which lay on him as if emulating cage. Fortunately, she did it successfully, without any wait, she made her way out of the bedroom, slided down the stairs within her natural inbuilt skills, and landed on the creaky wooden floor. Wendy opened the fridge and pulled out some eggs and fearlessly plate with bacon on it with her 2 remaining fingers. The phenomenal scene of Wendy making solid breakfast followed. Since the rain stopped pouring outside, the sun highlighted the floor, through curtains which merely waved from the breeze outside. Wendy had to admit; the natural scenery within dew made the forest look unimaginably beautiful. Gravity Falls was one of the cities which's circumstances were able to change every hour, to be more exact, here's an occasion that happened recently: Not many months ago, to be more accurate, somewhere in the middle of a june, was still laying snow outside. In small amount but still it was.
Residents got accustomed to it over the years, so now the jumps of temperatures were not anything abmormal to them. Even Multi-bear, everyone outside the Gravity Falls inhabitians would get shocked seeing this creature. None of the created entited could be solved, since Gravity Falls wielded its own rules.
After Wendy Corduroy readied the two plates, she placed the food on them. She sat on her trusty ol' chair and waited for her man to show up. Not much time passed and the young man called "Dipper", showed up on the horizon. Much to her deviance, Dipper was already dressed up in his everyday clothes.
- "Hey, Wendy!" - Dipper warmly greeted her, - "Did you make all this?"
- "Yeah, oh, forgot to tell ya," - She happily exclaimed, placing the first piece of an egg in her mouth, - "Dad forced me to learn cooking since he got bored with the food."
- "Wow, this is actually pretty solid, I guess so," - He tasted the fried egg with a salty and crunchy bacon.
- "I'm glad you like it, so anyway, how it was to sleep with me? Did I do something... y'know embarrassing?" - Wendy exactly knew how to make Dipper's face turn red, and yet she was successful.
- "I...I'd say it wasn't bad at all," - He said, meanwhile avoiding eye-contact, - "But seriously, don't go anywhere at night, I don't want to stumble upon anything while finding you."
- "Oh... So what are our plans today?" - She curiously asked.
- "Since you've said; no nerdy things, I assume that we're going to do something more in... "Wendy" style," - He said. _- "Like what?" - She finished her plate and was waiting for his answer.
- "I dunno, climbing trees? Jumpkicking monsters?"
- "Duuude, I thought you knew me well, turns out otherwise!" - Wendy playfully punched his shoulder, - "Y'know? I kinda miss the old days, when there was only both of us. Arcade, monsters dungeons, and again. And now I see you got older and your interests changed. I am still wandering what is your hobby at the moment..."
- "It's like, we're seeing each other the first time, and we have to introduce ourselves, yet again," - Dipper uttered, while falling back onto the chair, resting his back, - "If so, then who's first?"
- "I'm gonna go first," - She said in a decisive tone, - "So, my name's Wendy, I am twenty years old, I like... climbing trees, cutting 'em down, and fighting villains! I look forward into meeting you."
- "Nice to meet ya, my name is Dipper, I'm seventeen years old, and... I like to study multiuniversional portals, and the Triangulum galaxy-"
- "Boooo! Dipper you totally failed!" - She unexpectedly cut him off. Their personal thoughts didn't match.
- "Why so?"
- "Dipper, don't introduce yourself as a nerd that's just sooooo stupid-looking," - Wendy asserted, and began to give him advice.
- "Then I should say - Hey, I'm Dipper, I like to explore dangerous places and destroy scowl creatures?" - He asked, trying to catch Wendy's thought.
- "That's a lot better, at least you showed your "cool" behaviour..." - She said, - "If you we're like, new to my class, I would totally fall for you, merely because of your introduction."
- "Hehe, thanks for the advice," - It made him blush a little, even if it was meant to give him confidence, it still affected him likewise.
- "So, what shall we do?" - He finally asked about the problem they still couldn't solve.
- "We can... go to the local park, it is pretty neat here."
- "Indeed, I have a need for some fresh air slightly growing, each second," - He said as he got up and put on his fiery flannel shirt.
- "Oh, well," - Wendy replied, much to her suprise, Dipper stood with her green trademark flannel shirt wide open, inviting her to put it on. As she pushed her arms inside, Dipper put the shirt over her shoulders, - "Thanks Dip, I wasn't able to do that myself," - She said sarcastically, although clearly enjoying the moment. _- "What else can I do than freeing you from small duties, when you are such a great chief," - It was meant to be a compliment from Dipper.

Yusk entered his empty house. The walls were coated with the warmth of a furnace which burnt some branches and logs. The sound which came from it made the scene more comfortable, it simply relaxed him, as if massage, but only in a form of sound; massage to his ears. He sat next to the table in the living room and ate his food - fish with rice. Nothing was more delicious than this, in his opinion.
Suddenly some sparks appeard and then a tall half-yellow figure drew, sitting on his sofa.
- "Hello, my mate Yusk!" - Bill Cipher, itself, an unsolved creature greeted the young man, interrupting his dinner. _- "Gruh-uh," - Yusk choked, since he nearly got scared to death, - "Duuude, stop appearing all of a sudden, that scares me!"
- "There's nothing I can do about that," - He calmly replied, - "You better thank me for telling the commanders to send out scouts, I mean us at a small part."
- "Oh my god, I entirely forgot!" - Yusk satched his head in awe, - "How did you know?"
- "We're like bonded, remember?" - Bill said, his arms crossed as he laid back on the sofa.
- "Oh... sorry I forgot..."
- "Anyway, that's not the reason why I came," - Rhe young man cleared his throat before speaking, - "Tommorow, really early, before the sunrise, we have to be at the great hall, they will prepare us and the send us to the Fristone Forest; to the Headlessers, I wanted to warn ya, get some sandwiches readied, it is not going to last some hours, it would possibly take us days, maybe a week. You will have the flare gun, so if they would spot us, you'll give the signal to attack, get it?"
- "Yes, I guess so..." - He rubbed the back of his head, - "Would we have any armor, or we're going to run naked?"
- "They'll take care of that."
- "Ok then..." - Sithe came right out from Yusk's mouth while he stared at the ceiling.
- "Don't worry mate, everything is going to be alright."
- "I hope so..." _- "I have to warn my father, since
The girl alternatively known as the daughter of the moonlight sat next to table and ate her meal. Being a part of a royal family made her be special around everyone else. She was full of respect which she got daily just from doing nothing, but resting on a sofa eating expensive fruuts and things likewise. To be honest, she didn't enjoy her now-condition, because she was treated by a princess, although she hated to be.
Their whole dynasty gathered in a alter-hall, formerly known as a ballroom since it got rebuilt into an eating-hall. The table was full of food; fish, potatoes, chicken meat, fruits and much more. Foremost, the food which couldn't be afforded by an usual resident.
Alesia (daughter of moonlight) had many secrets she fiercely hid from her elders, otherwise it would turn out as a punishment. Not just having friendship with other normal mature-teens like her, she even supported them for being so honest and truthful with her. She saw them through, and definitely they weren't fake.
- "So, Alesia, your pre-marriage would happen, I assume soon, the son of King of Clouds is already readying everything up," - Dwainerkwan, her father decisively said, - "I hope you both accustomed to each other, your life will be great without any questions."
Alesia was about to protest, but she couldn't. She knew she didn't have any other choice, it was unchangable. Merely because her father promised her daughter to marry Cloud's son, in the change for finansial support. So she didn't blame her father, otherwise she would be living in a wooden hut, poor and hungry. She understood the sutiation ver well.
- "I'm so excited for that!" - She perfectly lied - "Y'know it's so serious!"
- "I thought so," - her mother said, while drinking wine.
- "I don't want to eat anymore, can I go now?"
- "Of course sweetie! Do whatever you want."
- "Oh no, I forgot my wallet! In the Shack!" - Dipper lied, although he built plans to make everything better, - "Can you please wait over here while I'll quickly sneak into the shack?"
Wendy raised an eyebrow, - "Yeah of course!"
- "Thanks, be right back!" - He shouted meanwhile running like as fast as he can. When he felt that he was in a safe distance from the cabin, he pulled out his phone and rapidly typed Mabel's number, and dialed her.
- "Hey, Mabel how ya doin'? _- "It's so much fun, we've been like everywhere! Rollercoasters, shops, jump park and many more! Anyway, how are you doing... with Wendy? - She curiously asked, teasing her brother.
- "How did you know?" - He asked in awe.
- "Dipper, we're twins, I can see you through..."
- "Is it really that obvious?"
- "Of course, so what's up?"
- "I came for advice, now we're about to go out with her, aaaaaand I just want to make this day, y'know? As a starting point."
- "Does she act suspiciously? Like hug-addicted, attention-addicted or something likewise?"
- "Ummm, she's always hugging me whenever we meet each other," - He tried to remember more details, - "She once kissed me on a cheek, and Wendy's sharing her bed with me..." - Dipper relucantly asserted.
- "You what? You're such a perv Dipper," - Mabel giggled a little, - "She absolutely wants you dork, I wonder how didn't you realize it yourself. Just be yourself and I guarantee that you'll get her."
- "Thanks Mabes, gotta go, can't leave her hanging, bye!" - He pushed his phone into his pocket and in the same speed ran back. Immediately, he saw Wendy standing on the ledge with her arms crossed.
- "Finally you're back!" - She exclaimed. Within sometime they went forth, both with hands inside their pockets.
The sun shone above the trees, coating the pine trees in a white reflecting light. The grass was slightly swaying back and forth as the moderate breeze whirled around, creating a relatable sound. The park located near her cabin, almost blending with the forest. Suddenly, Wendy narrowed her eyes and pulled Dipper's arm.
- "Hey,it's the squad, lets at least greet them," - She said and didn't even wait for his answer, as they were already one the way.
- "Hey Tambry, Lee, Nate and Robbie, how'ya all doin'? Haven't see you in years!"
- "Yo Wendy!" - Everyone said in a unison.
- "Wait is that Dipper?" - Robbie asked while glancing at a peeking Dipper, - "Whoa Wendy! You're dating Dipper?"
- "No, no..." - She extremely blushed and instantly felt uncomfortably around them, - "We're just on a walk, y'know? Talking about life and stuff."
- "She actually likes him," - Tambry whispered, although she specially said it out loud so Dipper could hear.
- "TAMBRY!" - There was no way this could happen; Wendy thought. The situation was messed up. She didn't know what would happen afterward. Is he going to hate her? Avoid her? No one knows. But however he reacted calmly.
- "Wendy lets go," - He pulled her arm and they fastly went forward, to be more accurate, towards the bench. As they sat on it, Wendy immediately spoke:
- "I'm so sorry I had to put you in such awkward moment."
- "There is no need to apologize, I knew that it would happen sooner or later..."
- "Wait, that means, you knew that I like you all the time?" - She asked astonished, - "So awkward!" - She covered her face with her hand. For Dipper it was moment of truth, so he took a long sithe and spoke.
- "Actually I... I like you... too," - Dipper moved her arm aside. Wendy stared at him shocked, then at his lips. Will I do this? Both asked themselves in their mind. He stared at her green sparky eyes, full of hope and desires, as both faces went closer and closer each second.
I finally ended writing this chapter! Sorry for taking so long. Merely because I messed up the timelines (some explaining will be in further chapters) and I was pretty busy taking exams at the end of the first semester, plus as always I am lazy as hell. I am doing QnA next chapter so if you have any questions then please leave them in the review section.
I know I kinda overdid the intrigue at the end of the chapter, don't kill me please. Shoutouts to: MegaPrimo1 and Guest! Also shoutout to VeryVividColors for helping me out! Until next time, peace!
