Author's Note: Once again here is another song for the AU week and once again this is a request song.
This is requested from Jad the dog. This is based in the Swap AU and it will center around Dipper, basically like my songfic of the song let me make you proud, this story centers around that version of Dipper vs. Manliness.
For those who don't know the Swap au, in short it is an AU where Garnet was the real leader of the Crystal Gems from the beginning and Sapphire was once Blue Diamond and Garnet gave birth to both Dipper and Mabel.
The song is from the Disney movie Hercules.
Go the Distance.
Dipper quickly let the dinner in embarrassment, and it didn't help that Mabel was behind and teasing him.
"So what happened to being Manly Mannington?" Mable giggled.
"Not now, Mabel" Dipper said trying to drown her voice out.
"It was kind of funny how Manly Dan just shoved you and won the Man tester with just a finger."
"Mabel."
"Well you did your best but you where no where near as strong as-"
"I KNOW MABEL!" Dipper faced Mabel as Ice spikes rose behind him, "I GET IT! I'M WEAK CAN WE JUST DROP IT!"
Mabel backed away from Dipper after that outburst and looked at him nervously, Dipper noticed this as well as the cold surface behind him.
Dipper sighed, "I Iced again didn't I?"
Mabel walked to her brother and placed a comforting hand on his shoulder and using her heat abilities she started melting the ice.
"Hey you know I was kidding right, Bro-bro?" Mabel said, "You are strong, Dipper."
"No Mabel I'm not," Dipper pushed her hand away as he slumped.
"Hey we both have our Mom's gems," Mabel showed her gem, "They where strong, fused or not and so are me and you."
Dipper looked at his own gem and grasped his hand in frustration.
"No," Dipper said, "You're the only one who's stronger then me. The reason our mom was strong is because Ruby was the strength and Sapphire was just the future vision."
Mabel frowned, "Dipper don't say that. I mean it your-"
Dipper held his hand up, "Mabel. I-I just want to be alone right now, okay." And with that said started walking away from her.
Mabel rubbed her arm looking worried for her brother, "Okay…I guess."
Dipper walked on the beach as he thought over and over about if Mabel was right or if Dipper could never be as strong as her or the gems or anybody else.
Dipper paused as he looked at the gem on his hand again.
Dipper: I have often dreamed, to be just like her, and great, proud moment will be waiting for me.
And the crowds will cheer when they see my face and a voice will keep saying this is who I'm meant to be.
Dipper started walking in the sand as he picked up a pebble and tossed it up and down as he walked.
Dipper: I will find my way, I can go the distance, I'll be their someday if I can be strong.
I know every mile will be worth my while, I would do most anything to be strong, like, mom.
Dipper stopped and tossed the pebble into the ocean, he looked out on the waves and watched as the pebble landed the splash it made became frozen.
Dipper was surprised by this effect, then he looked down and saw a shell, he picked it up and looked it at and as he did the shell started to freeze, then he tossed it and the same thing happened. It splashed and turned into ice.
Dipper quickly looked at his gem and saw it glowing. Could this be a new power? He thought to himself.
Dipper looked at the ocean again and at his gem.
I wonder?
Dipper took a deep breath and started walking towards the ocean, he closed his eyes hoping this will work, he kept walking and walking, and walking and…Have I even reached the ocean yet?
He opened his eyes and looked down and saw he was standing on ice, he turned around and saw a trail of ice from the beach to where he stands.
Dipper looked at un-frozen sea and carefully placed his foot on the water and watched as it turned to ice.
Dipper smiled, "I did it!" he shouted happily, "I could be strong now!" Dipper ran around freezing more parts of the ocean as he cheered.
"YES!"
Dipper: I am on my way! I can go the distance! It is not to far, now I can be strong!
I knew every mile would be worth my while, I can do most anything and be strong, like, mom!
Dipper laughed as he walked back on the beach and watched the ice road he made on the beach as it started reflecting the sun's light, shining bright just like Dipper's confidence.
The end.
Author's Note: Well another well done song and I am nearing my 60th chapter just one more to go and we are there!
