At the Piston Peaks Air Attack base, everyone had their own morning routines…or at least Dipper assumed that all other vehicles on base had a morning routine. She actually didn't know because she was never awake early enough to observe them. Basically the only time that she wasn't the last one moving in the morning was if the whole team was woken up at the crack of slag to go fight a fire, the smokejumpers had finally gotten back to base at 4 am, or someone was injured enough that Maru had them sedated in his medical hanger. Luckily none of those scenarios were currently occurring, so Dipper could enjoy walking at her own pace.
There was a soft glow coming through the windows which seemed to indicate that she had woken up a bit earlier than normal, which meant that she was in no rush to move. She stretched and yawned, shaking away the last vestiges of sleep from her wings. For a few moments, she just sat on her tires and thought about the cup of coffee that would be waiting for her in the main hanger. Eventually, the thought of coffee gave her enough energy to start moving towards her hanger door.
Sliding the door open Dipper closed her eyes in preparation of greeting the rising sun…only to get a windshield full of water and driving wind. She sputtered, backed up, and slammed her hanger door shut. Only then did she notice the sound that she had completely tuned out until that point. It was the sound of a constant torrent of rain pounding against her hanger roof.
With a sigh, she shook the last of the water from her fame settled back on her sleeping mat. Forget the coffee, today was clearly meant to be a Netflix and chill type of day.
