Can't wait to wield that Key
"Oh, that one looks like a butt….and that one looks like a wood axe," Wendy pointed to the various clouds, her mind letting them take on very specific shapes, "And that one looks like Robbie's small…."
Dipper was in awe, not of the roof nor the view he always had that. But of Wendy, sure despite the age gap and the fact she already said no, he couldn't help but still admire the fact just how of a special person she was. Her determination, her fire, the fact that even when the Heartless came and sent them off to Traverse Town, she didn't break, she didn't waver, she showed strength and determination. Oh. how he loved her still.
Wendy though had made her feelings clear during on of their adventures that theirs would be always a platonic relationship. Of course, Dipper would respect her decision no matter what, for their friendship mattered more than if they were romantically involved. Still, it was hard at times to still not possess some sort of feelings with them when they were together.
"Hey, dude? Dude? your spacing out again," Wendy said, snapping his fingers in front of her. "Earth to Dipper? Come in, Dipper. Houston we've lost contact with Dork Space One, I repeat we've lost contact with Dork Space One, over."
Dipper shook his head, "Oh sorry, just uh…. Thinking?"
Wasn't the first time he had done this, nor will it be the last. All the time he would think about the people he loved and how in some way he may have failed them by not being able to protect his world by being destroyed from the Heartless. Perhaps there was something he could have done, or maybe he could have been better when he was in Traverse Town. Instead for the most part he stood on the sidelines and let Sora do the work.
"When are you not thinking, your brain is essentially a twenty four seven non stop action man." Wendy laughed, "Seriously, your brain is like a speedrail going a hundred miles per minute heading towards the station but doesn't know the breaks."
"Guess that's why it tends to go off the rails a lot."
"Oh, nice use of puns! Me like!"
Dipper chuckled as he blushed. His mind was thinking about several things at once. Wendy, Riku, Jafar's lamp. Life had definitely been interesting for him, and after the Heartless came, his mind exploded now knowing about the knowledge of the other worlds, darkness, and of course the all powerful weapon...The Keyblade.
Every time he thought about that weapon he felt a small tingle encompass him. Such a powerful weapon, considered by one of the most powerful beings in the entire universe. The only problem one there was one, and it was in the hands of fourteen year old. Dipper had high thoughts of Sora for sure, he seemed to prove his mettle against Maleficent, even Riku, still he could see the flaws. He was cocky, naive, and definitely someone who flew by the seat of his pants. In a lot of ways, he reminded him of Mabel and with a powerful weapon, that was a scary combination.
A weapon like that should be with someone smart and wise, like him, or his great uncle Ford. He wondered how much his great uncle knew about the Keyblade before he vanished. He wished he was here right now. So many questions left unanswered. He wanted to know, he needed to know.
"Dipper, spacing out again."
"Oops, sorry Wendy," He blushed hard now, "Just thinking about stuff…."
"Oh yeah?" Wendy leaned back against the roof, "What kind of stuff?"
"Well, uh…." Dipper started blushing from embarrassment, "It's embarrassing."
"Oh man, now you gotta tell me!"
Dipper laughed, "Well, I was just thinking….What it would be like to wield one of those Keyblade's for myself?"
"Huh," Wendy looked at Dipper with a smirk, "I don't know if I can see it. I mean, if Sora could do it and be a noob at it, I bet you'd be great."
"Really?"
Wendy nodded her head, "Yeah."
"I thought you wouldn't want me to have one because of all the bad stuff it caused?"
Wendy shrugged, "I mean sure I'd be worried, but I'm always worried, so might as well enjoy it."
"Ha, you have a Keyblade Master Dipper," Zazu flew up towards them now, the long hornbill landing on top of Dipper's cap, "Come now Master Dipper, why on earth would you want one of those infernal things anyway?"
"Oh yeah?" Dipper smirked arms folded confident, "You don't think I can do it?"
Zazu replied, "If from what I heard about them, we are lucky Sora was able to wield one."
"Not the way I see it."
Mabel popped her head out the window looking up at the roof, "Oh, I sense a obligatory song!"
Dipper
I'm gonna wield a mighty key.
So enemies beware
Zazu
Well I've never seen a key's wielder
With such messy hair.
"Well, there was Sora," Wendy pointed out.
"True."
Dipper
I'm gonna be the main event
Like no wielder was before.
I'm brushing up I'm looking down.
Working on my battle roar!
Zazu
Thus far a rather uninspiring thing.
Dipper
Oh I just can't wait to wield that Key.
Wendy chuckled, "Oh man, you wielding a Keyblade? That's something I gotta see."
"Can you imagine it, though?!" Dipper exclaimed.
Dipper
No one saying do this.
Wendy
No one saying be there.
Dipper
No one saying stop that.
Dipper/Wendy
No one saying see here.
Zazu
Now see here.
Dipper
Free to run around all day
Free to do it all my way.
In his mind, Dipper fantasies of all the things he would do if he had the Keyblade. To be a great hero, to be someone of grand importance, to be someone who was worthy and perhaps, just perhaps, to be someone Wendy would admire in more than just a friend way.
Zazu
I think it's time
That you and I
Arrange a heart to heart.
Dipper
Wielders don't need advice
From little horn fields for a start
Zazu
If this is where the keyblade is headed
Then ser cut me out.
Out of service
Out of Africa
I wouldn't hang about.
This child is getting wildly out of wing.
Dipper
Oh I just can't wait to wield that Key
The fantasy continued to play out, even Wendy was a bit taken in by Dipper's enthusiasm. The idea of a Keyblade, fighting bad guys, living the life of a hero. It was quite intoxicating. Dipper had yearned for something grander in his life, first it was his Grunkle Ford's journal, now it was the all powerful Keyblade.
Dipper
Everyone look left.
Everyone look right.
Everywhere you're look I'm
Standing spotlight!
Zazu
Not yet
Chorus
Let every creature go for broke and sing
Let's hear it in the herd and on the wing
It's gonna be young's finest fling
Dipper
Oh, I just can't wait to wield that key
Oh, I just can't wait to wield that key
Oh, I just can't wait to wield that key
Zazu sighed, "Oh, I hope there aren't any other young pre-teens out there with the insanity that you posses, master Dipper. I really, really, hope so."
"There you too are!" Stan came out pointing to the two of them, "Stop singing songs about dreams and the future and get to work!"
Dipper sighed, "Yes, Grunkle Stan."
"Hey Dipper," Wendy said, stopping him mid way,
"I think you'd make a awesome Keyblade Master"
Dipper smiled, his cheeks turning a tad red, before running off.
