Author's Note: HEY EVERYONE! If you are wondering why I have not updated for awhile, it is because I had a little trouble with my computer and I had to start all over again, I'll spare you guys the details.

Anyway I'm back folks, and to celebrate this I'm setting this songfic in the Techno Mom AU (Check Minijen's tumbler page for more info on that) and have it set after that worlds version of Weirdmageddon. Suffice to say if any one is already aware of this AU they would know that it does not end the way most versions of that story arc end.

Ps. The song is from Dreamwork's The Road to El Dorado.

Friends Never Say Goodbye.

After the events of Weirdmageddon and the defeat of Yellow Diamond and Bill Cipher, everyone both human, Gem, and creature celebrate, finally the nightmare was over and every thing ended on a good note.

Well almost everything.

Steven finished packing in his cheeseburger backpack in his house in the temple.

After everything that happened even before Weirdmageddon, Steven needs a lot of time to think and he can't do that in Gravity Falls.

Steven looked around the house and at the door to the temple.

After all the lies, secrets, from those he considered friends and family, Steven wasn't sure he could forgive them right away.

They told him that they will change but still Steven could not be here with them for now.

Steven then looked up at the portrait of his mother Rose Quartz.

Once when he looked at that image he saw the woman who fought for what was right and always wanted to be like her, but now he was not sure what to think about his mother.

Steven walked away from the portrait and opened the door then stopped as noticed someone in front of him.

That someone was Dipper.

Dipper's expression matched that of Steven's look of surprise but then both boy looked away from each other.

Once Steven saw him as one of his best friends, but after some events it was hard to tell how Steven view him.

Dipper came here for a reason, he wanted to tell Steven something but right now he could not make the words. This might be due to pride or shame.

Steven frowned and just moved past Dipper without saying a word to him and started walking down the steps.

There isn't much I haven't shared with you along the road.

Dipper watched him walk away and quickly followed him down. Dipper tried to talk but he couldn't, he tried again just as he was nearly close to Steven.

And through it all there'd always be tomorrow's episode.

Steven heard him coming and looked back at him, Dipper stopped his pace.

This was it. The moment he would say what he been practicing to say to Steven.

But instead Dipper scratched his head and looked down at his feet. Steven sighed and continued walked down.

Suddenly that isn't true.

There's another avenue.

Dipper kicked himself at that, once again he could not say to Steven's face.

Beckoning the great divide.

Ask no questions take no side.

Dipper thought why was it so hard now? He talked to Steven before, why was this so different.

Dipper noticed that Steven was way ahead of him so he kept his pace and followed him again.

Who's to say who's right or wrong, whose course is braver run.

Dipper tried to keep up with Steven. He had to at least try to speak to him.

Steven glanced back and shook his head. What was Dipper doing here? And why for once in his life he had nothing to say to him.

Once Steven wanted Dipper to open up to him more but now what ever Dipper had to say to him now, he did not want to hear it.

All I know, is all we had.

Dame his pride, Dipper was going to try and apologize to Steven before he goes.

Is over. Said and done.

Steven then stopped again causing Dipper to stop next to him. Steven looked at him and like instinct Dipper looked away.

Friends never say goodbye

Instead of feeling annoyed, Steven looked sadly at his once best friend, he was about to say something to Dipper, but knowing him Dipper would just ignore him so instead he continued on just as Dipper was about to say something to him.

Never say goodbye.

Steven looked ahead and noticed a small gathering of people. It was not the whole town but still people he knew.

Steven saw his farther among them. One of the many people who lied to him and ironically by Greg was Garnet, Amethyst, and Pearl. Greg gave a sad look to his son as he handed him a coat, knowing full well that his son won't be back until summer.

Steven looked at the coat and back at his farther and despite everything he gave him a quick but tight hug that nearly brought the former rock star to tears. After that Steven looked at his former caregivers.

Amethyst tried to give him one of her classic grins but could not managed it while Pearl was covering herself to prevent Steven from seeing her cry while Garnet looked at him with the same stoic expression.

Steven walked away from them without saying anything. Seeing him leave Pearl was about to run to him but Garnet placed a hand on her shoulder while tears fell from her visor.

Steven smiled as he saw Stanly Pines rubbed the top of his head and as soon as he was done Wendy put her lumberjack hat on Steven's head, then Lars and Sadie gave him a boxes full of donuts. Steven smiled and placed a hand on Lars's chest and Lars returned the favor.

As Steven placed the donuts and coat in his backpack he felt a nudge behind him. As he turned he saw Lion looking at him. Steven smiled and hugged his faithful feline companion then Steven paused as Connie stood next to Lion.

The two looked at each other sadly. Both of them had been through a lot together with some unanswered question from both. Then Steven pulled his mother's sword from Lion's mane and placed it by Connie's feet.

Connie looked both shocked and surprised she looked at him thinking that he wants her to have it, and almost as if he read her mind he nodded.

Connie did not no what to say, so instead of words she quickly walked up to him and gave him a peck on the lips.

Friends never say goodbye.

Steven widened his eyes as a blush covered his face as well as on Connie but she used the sword to hide her expression.

Never say goodbye.

Steven then smiled and turned around then saw Mabel and Peridot. Peridot awkwardly waved at him while Mabel sadly looked away trying to hid her sad expression as she hugged Waddles.

Steven sighed and walked past them. Dipper managed to join the crowed then stopped in his place. He felt a hand on his shoulder, Dipper looked up to see Ford looking at him.

Ford motioned for Dipper to try and talk to Steven again before he leaves to which Dipper nodded and continued on.

Steven stopped as Lapis stood before him, her water wings out and in her hand some suit cases.

Friends never say goodbye.

Steven looked down at his feet just as Dipper stood once again at his side.

Never say goodbye.

" Steven," Dipper started not looking at him, "I just want to say…good luck out there."

"Yeah," Steven answered, "You too."

Never. Say goodbye.

Steven sadly walked to Lapis. Lapis then lowered herself allowing Steven to climb on her back and quickly the two flew to the air and off to who knows where.

As Dipper watched them go, he was joined by Mabel and Connie. Once there friend was out of sight they both made a silent promise that when Steven comes back. Things will be different.

They-he will be a better friend. And maybe he will have the courage to say sorry.

The End.
