Candy and Dipper are finding their way out of the forest. With no rush at all the two are just actually walking and talking "and the other guy says, that is one black stool" a burst of laughter came after "ah hahahaha! that's a good one Candy" Dipper said, she blushes and looks away "yea, that's probably the only two guys walk into a bar joke I know and uh yea" Candy said. Both of them are silent even though Candy looks at Dipper most of the way and when he takes notice he decides breaks the silence "well today was crazy huh?" "oh yea, very crazy...insane" Candy replies.
Both of them recall the events that have happened as they moved along "you know, that Fire Bug had nothing on you back there" Dipper said "yeah right that thing almost killed me, twice" "no really, I don't think even I could've lasted that long against that thing" Dipper said "well, your the one that was always saving me you big brave...guy" Candy said giving him a pat on the back.
When Candy's hand touches Dipper, the slime still left on her hands got on his back "oh I'm so sorry Dipper!" Candy said. Dipper wipes off the slime "it's fine, man that purple stuff has been bad luck all day hasn't it? let's go get something to wipe it off" Dipper said. He takes Candy's hand and went to go look for one. Candy was feeling pressure when she was holding Dippers hand as they went into the trees.
A few moments later they find a huge leaf and Candy wipes most of the slime off and discards it after "ok now that should do it, but you should wash your hands when you get home" Dipper says and walks ahead. Candy looks at the hand Dipper grabbed "I'll never wash this hand" she wispers to herself and goes by him.
It seemed like forever they were finding their way home. Candy was gettinig worried and Dipper just kept walking in the same direction. Candy looks around "uh Dipper? where are we?" she asks "I don't know" Dipper answered without a care "what!?" Candy exclaimed "you mean we're lost!?" "relax, all I know is that town is that way" Dipper declared "besides, it's not the first time we were here right?"
Candy goes back to the that time in her head then gets an idea and gets a little closer to Dipper "well maybe if you carried me like before, we'd get there faster" Candy said in a playful tone. Dipper paused for a moment "hehe well I uhh" he said and next thing he knows, Candy ends up holding his arm. This was a surprise to Dipper and he try's not to think much of it! but ends up getting a warm feeling in his body.
Dipper although this feeling was nice, he also couldn't help but feel awkward and desperately want to get out "so um I wonder where we are" Dipper said slipping his arm off of Candy "I'm gonna climb a tree and see if we're any closer." Dipper then goes the closest tree and makes his way to a high point. Dipper takes a seat and a deep breath "ok Dipper don't freak out its just walking her home, nothing else" he says to himself. Meanwhile in the view Dipper spots lights not too far away. On his way down Dipper sees Candy sitting down with a flower in her hand.
Before Candy can notice Dipper coming down she was plucking a petals off the flower and to herself was saying "he loves me...he loves me not...he loves me...he loves..." Candy sees Dipper coming toward her "oh your back" she says quickly crushing the flower and throwing it away "any luck?" Candy asks "y-yea town is just over there" Dipper replies "is everything alright? you sound nervous" Candy asks.
Dipper looked at her, then glances at her body, and back to her "yea everything's fine" he said "okay then let's go" Candy said walking toward the direction he said. Dipper stood there for a minute and looked at Candy again and doing another quick glance at her from the back. Candy turns around "c'mon it's getting dark" she said to him, Dipper shakes his head "oh yea I'll be right there" he said running to her.
At last after a long walk they made it back, it was dim, and the moon was full. They made it out of the woods and back to the town of Gravity Falls "well here we are" Dipper said "*sigh* yep" Candy replied. The first stop was to Candy's house and she never was so eager to get home. They walked up to her porch and Candy turns to Dipper "thanks for um...well you know, walking me home" she says to Dipper "yea, uh huh, anytime" he replies to her.
Both of them were quiet, then Candy gets a long face and looks down "uh Dipper, I'm really am sorry about your journal, I know how much it means to you" Candy said, Dipper sees her started to get sad again "hey c'mon now, I thought we established that it wasn't your fault remember?" He said trying to cheer her up "I know but still, it feels like we went all that way for nothing" "it's okay, maybe it will show up again who knows? I don't want to leave you feeling bad about this, then I'll feel bad okay?"
Candy smiles at him, she was happy to see Dipper continue trying to make her feel better. He sees her in the moon, her eyes reflecting off the light leaving him speechless. She lunges at him and hugging him closely with her head on his chest. Dipper was surprised at first then he had a warm feeling in his body again. So he slowly puts both of his arms on her. The warm feeling had lasted as long as he hugged her back. Then Candy lets go of Dipper and quickly kisses him on the cheek and goes inside. Dipper was spellbound and he puts his hand on his cheek where Candys lips were on. Suddenly Dipper felt like he couldn't stand up straight, he slowly stumbled down the stairs. His breath was taken away while he was walking home and all Dipper thought of is that he got a kiss from a girl.
The thought of it made Dipper made him more unbalanced, he was stumbling half way through town with the warm feeling. Then down the street Dipper sees something in the dark, it's glowing yellow and it coming right toward him. The warm feeling was gone to where Dipper was feeling more chills as it got closer. The figure was close enough to tell what it was no doubt about it, it's the FIRE BUG! Dipper began running again this time with more speed down the street "AAAHHHHH!" he shout while sprinting in the away with the bug right behind him. Dipper turns and try's to cut through an ally. He ran as fast as he could then Dipper trips over a bottle and lands on the ground.
Dipper on his back sees the Fire Bug going toward at full speed "noooo!" he yells before it stops right in front of Dipper. The bug growls at him. As Dipper was crawling backwards the bug gets hit on the head with a branch "hey! down boy!" A girls voice said. Dipper looks up "wait Mabel?" he said seeing on top of the bug was indeed his sister riding the Fire Bug "hey Dipper guess what, I concurred the Fire Bug!" Mabel said "and look what I found!" Mabel holds up her hand and there it was, the journal.
Dipper was gasps at the sight of his journal "woah, but how?" he said "what?" "where did you find that? I seen it fall and" "well it's a long story, I was on my way going through the forset then took a left..." Mabel said. They starred at each other for a bit and Dipper asks "then what?" "what?" "then what happened!? How did you find the journal, how did quote on quote concur that bug, where did you go?" Dipper asked again.
At first Mabel looked confused for a moment "oohhh" she said "well I was looking for Candy then..wait a minute where's Candy?" "don't worry about it, as you were saying." "Oh please tell me she's not back there" Mabel said with a tired tone "Candy's fine, I walked her home, now how did you find my journal?" Dipper said eagerly "hold on, what? you walked her home?" "oh jeez, can I just have my journal back" "say it" "look Mabel can we talk about this later? I just want to go home" "not until you admit that there's something going on between you two" Mabel said.
She hopped off the bug and goes closer to Dipper "soooo tell me what happened after you walked her home" "Mabel just drop it!" "tell me" "Mabel just" "tell me" "Mabel!" "tell me or I'm feeding this to the bug!" she shouted and nearly handing it to the Fire Bug "o-okay fine" Dipper said, Mabel stops and listens "um well you see uh, I did walk Candy home and" he said trying to find the words to describe his experience.
As Dipper was struggling to explain it he started to sweat "then um she was sad" "uh huh" "and then I told her that it wasn't her fault" "go on" "and then we hugged it out" "ok" "and uh then...that's it she went inside and then you came along" he said to her "that's it" Mabel said sarcastically "uh yea that's it" he said "okay then, looks like Mr. Fire Bug would like a snack" Mabel said giving the bug the journal "WAIT!" Dipper said "i think your right, she maybe has a thing for me ok please just give me back my journal" he said to her.
Mabel with a grin hand him the journal "see? that wasn't so hard now was it?" she says, but Dipper just mumbles "now we can go home, get on" Mabel tells him "on that? no way" Dipper replies "c'mon it's just like riding a horse" she says "uh fine, tired of walking anyway" "that's the spirit!" Mabel says.
Dipper and Mabel get on the Fire Bug, oddly enough the bug rears up and goes toward the Mystery Shack. On their way Dipper asks "so Mabel! how did you get this again?" he said showing her the journal. She looks at him "okay okay, like I said I followed the trail and took a left" Mabel said. While Mabel was telling her story Dipper looks back to where Candy's house is and smiles "yea maybe" he says to himself as they were riding down the street.
