Chapter 13: Officially Dating Corduroy

It was early morning when Dipper woke up. He was still tired from the arguing from last night. To say turning down Pacifica and Tambry did not go as well as the other girls was an understatement.

Tambry yelled at Dipper because she thought they had fun together and had a lot in common, so she was confused at why Dipper was turning her down.

Pacifica yelled at Dipper because it was unexpected. She never thought she had a chance of losing to anybody. Especially Wendy. She was Pacifica Northwest! But she knew Dipper better than that. She knew her name and money didn't weigh in his mind. So why was he turning her down? From how Dipper defended Pacifica at her family ball, Pacifica knew Dipper knows her better than anybody else, which was why she was so angry…and yet sad.

They both wanted a reason. A reason why they weren't good enough for him. They wanted to know what was wrong with them. But the problem was…nothing was wrong with them. And Dipper told them that.

The reason why he chose Wendy wasn't because there was anything wrong with them or better about Wendy, but because he already had feelings for Wendy way before they even looked in his direction.

But that answer wasn't good enough for the two competitors. They swore that they would somehow change Dippers mind and make him fall head over heels for them.

And before Dipper could argue they hung up on him.

Dipper had no idea what to expect now. This break up was nothing like with the other dozens of girls. Pacifica and Tambry weren't going to give up like the rest and try to just be friends. They intended to win and were going to use every trick in the book.

Dipper couldn't help but remember how Wendy last night tried to get his attention to get him to notice her and not fall behind the other two.

If they tried something like what Wendy did…nothing was going to end well for him. And he knew Wendy wasn't going to be happy about it if they did try.

"God I either have the best or worsed of luck!" Dipper thought

Dipper decided to text Wendy.

Dipper: Hey little red.

Wendy: Morning big bad wolf. A little early isn't it?

Dipper: Yeah, well I'm going to go do my routine if you and the rest of the crew wanted to join.

Wendy: Awesome! I'll txt them and we'll meet you there.

Dipper: Also…

Wendy: ?

Dipper: I broke it to Tambry and Pacifica last night after you left.

Wendy: And?

Dipper: They didn't take it well.

Wendy: Well of course they didn't dork.

Dipper: I'm just warning you…that it's probably not over. They don't plan on giving me up anytime soon.

Wendy: Figures. But I kinda saw this coming. But I'm confident after everything you told me last night that I've got them beat. Besides I trust you.

Dipper: That doesn't mean they won't try something.

Wendy: Like what?

Dipper: Something along the lines of what you tried last night to get my attention.

Wendy: Well if they try anything like that I swear I'll protect my man. Nobody messes with what belongs to a Corduroy!

Dipper: Things are definitely going to be awkward with Tambry during Track. And Pacifica we know has no problem kidnapping me. And that doesn't even include problems with your fan club both in school and on the track team. I'll probably have to watch out for Tambry's and Pacifica's fan clubs too…

Wendy: …Are you saying you're having second thoughts about going out with me?

Dipper: Of course not! I've never been happier knowing that I finally get to date my dream crush. I'm just telling you…we've got a long first day ahead of us.

Wendy: True. But I'll keep an eye on you. So don't be such a worry wart. I'll see you at the track soon.

With that, Dipper got out of bed and ready to head to the track at school.

…

Dipper was stretching and waiting for Wendy and his other senior teammates on the track field.

Out of all the things to mention to Wendy what they had to worry about, he didn't say anything about Robbie. Dipper knew how sensitive Wendy was to the topic of Robbie in the first place. No doubt he would hear about their relationship today. Dipper was expecting the news to spread throughout school like it always does. Fast like wild fire. It was still too early to tell who already knows. But by lunch today, Dipper knew for sure that most of the school would know by then. Including Robbie.

Dipper was thinking about how to keep Wendy from being further involved with Robbie when he was called by the crew he was waiting for.

But what surprised him was being tackled by Stephanie and Allie who were squealing like fan girls.

"Oh my God Dipper congrats on finally dating your dream crush!" Stephanie yelled enthusiastically.

"We knew you would end up with Wendy. What's not to love about her?! That plus the way you eye and flirt with her was always a dead giveaway!" Allie squealed

"Girls get off of him!" Wendy yelled with a flush face.

"Oh? What's the matter Wendy? You've never been this protective of him before?" Stephanie teased.

Wendy stood there, fists shaking with an embarrassed expression.

"Come on Stephanie, give them a break. They still have the rest of the day to get through." Allie argued sympathetically.

"Alright. But don't think the teasing from us will end." Stephanie said as she got of Dipper.

Dipper was then immediately picked up by Robert and Derick too some teasing of their own.

"Way to go squirt! Finally made the decision that we all knew was inevitable." Robert congratulated.

"Yeah dude, about time…so when you going to pull the moves on her and get her in bed?"

I began blushing as Robert smacked Derick in the back of the head.

"Come on Derick, you know Dipper isn't like that!"

"I know! I know! I was teasing! Just chill."

Wendy looked at her seniors with a disapproving look.

"Besides I bet you fifty bucks that it will be Wendy to make the first move to get Dipper in bed." Robert said with a sly grin looking over to Wendy.

"I'll take that bet!" cheered Derick

Wendy was starting to fume at her seniors who were not only teasing her, but her now boyfriend and it hasn't even been two hours in the day.

But she instantly calmed down when a hand started petting her head from behind. The sensation was new to her since she had always been tall but she quickly snapped herself out of it before it became to pleasurable.

She looked behind her to see Dipper smiling while petting her long red hair.

"Wendy. It's fine. They are just teasing trying to wild you up. Don't let them get to you."

The crew just starred at Dipper. Surprised by how quick he could influence Wendy.

Dipper took his hand off her head.

"Feel better?"

"Y-Yeah. Thanks Dipper."

"I thought you were going to be the one protecting me Ms. Nobody messes with what belongs to a Corduroy?" Dipper chuckled

Wendy became flustered and couldn't let words out of her mouth. At least none they could understand to form an English sentence.

"Wendy it's alright! Has becoming my girlfriend made you lose your coolheadedness?"

"No. It's just when you do things like that, I don't know how to respond."

"You want me to stop myself from doing stuff like that then?"

"No!" Wendy quickly responded. Then embarrassed by the sudden outburst in front of her friends.

"All I did was pat your head Wendy. It's how I used to get Mabel to calm down. And since I'm now your boyfriend I believe it's up to me to calm you down in any way I know how to keep you from overheating or embarrassing yourself."

"Yeah… I'm just not used to it."

"Well that's because you've never had a REAL boyfriend before who thinks more about your well-being than getting some tail. So I'm guessing there is going to be a lot that you'll be uncomfortable with at first that deals with somebody actually taking care of you."

Wendy's face was on fire. Her cheeks were about the same color of her hair.

"Want to pay up the fifty bucks now?" Derick whispered to Robert.

"Don't get all embarrassed Wendy. I'll admit that there are areas I'm lacking in too when it comes to relationships."

Now Dipper's face was starting to turn red.

"Like what? What are you going to be needing help with?" Wendy asked calming down a bit.

"Umm… Basically any kind of affectionate form except kissing?" Dipper admitted.

"I've only kissed girls and not that much else."

"A nervous virgin making the first move on an older girl, and that girl being Wendy? No thanks, I'll keep my money since it looks like the odds are in my favor." Robert sneered at Derick.

"Anyways…" Dipper said trying to change the subject.

"So you decided to tell them this morning?" Dipper asked motioning to the seniors.

"Actually… I kinda told the girls last night and they told the boys. But I had to tell my closest friends! I couldn't wait till today!"

"It's fine Wendy. I'd rather them find out first than Mabel."

"You mean she doesn't know?!" Wendy shouted surprised.

"I would not have gotten any sleep otherwise and I knew she would eventually find out today so I saw no need to tell my nosy twin just yet."

"She's going to murder you…" Wendy deadpanned.

"Nope. That would be too easy. If anything she is going to torture me."
