Gravity Falls: Pines Meeting

Chapter 2

Piedmont - Monday afternoon, November 26th, 2012

"So yeah if you want, you could come on down to Piedmont for the December break instead of having to do apocalypse training. We've got plenty of room. Not to mention you could do some exploring in a whole new place," Dipper explained.

During his latest skype chat with Wendy, Dipper, reluctantly remembered to invite her to stay with him for the holidays. Deep down, he was preparing himself for the embarrassment he already felt right now; while also expecting Wendy to awkwardly reject his offer.

"Sure I'd love to come," Wendy responded.

"You'll what?" Dipper asked, surprised by her answer.

"Yeah, I'm a bit tired of my dad's 'End of the World' training. Besides, I think I can convince him to let me go, seeing as how I was the only member of the family to avoid being turned into stone by Bill during Wierdmageddon. Which makes me more than prepared if the apocalypse ever decides to happen, again."

"That's… that's awesome." Dipper said. Suddenly becoming excited at the idea of Wendy coming over.

"Plus it'll allow for us the two of to spend some more time together," Wendy added in. Though she immediately blushed after realizing what she just said. "I mean the three of us. You know, me, you, and Mabel."

"Yeah, um, I get what you mean. The three of us, (which includes Mabel)," Dipper replied, also blushing awkwardly.

"So yeah I'll tell my parents that you're coming," Dipper said in an attempt to smooth things out. "And we'll have one of the guest rooms ready for when you arrive."

"Cool," Wendy replied. "I'll let my dad know about it, start packing, and buy a bus ticket so that I can get to Piedmont by say Saturday?"

"Perfect! We'll meet you at the bus stop."

"Thanks. I look forward to seeing you then."

"Same here."

The two of them spent another couple of minutes just, (without realizing it), staring at each other with the same loving gaze that they'd been one another lately. It wasn't till Wendy's phone vibrated that they snapped out of it.

"Oh shoot," Wendy said as she looked at her phone. "I gotta get going. Tambry's throwing a 'Pre Winter Break' party at her place. See later."

"Yeah see ya."

Once the screen was off, Mabel popped into the room.

"I smell future nieces and nephews," she chirped.

"AUGH MABEL!" Dipper shouted angrily. "We're too young. Oh and like I told you last night, WE'RE NOT DATING!"

"Pssssh. Calm down, Bro. Just embrace the love while I go tell mom and dad about how they're finally going to meet their future daughter-in-law," Mabel said before running out of the room.

"What? No, wait, MABEL!" Dipper hollered as he pursued his sister.

Gravity Falls – Tuesday Evening Night, November 27th, 2012

"You're spending the break with Dr. Funtimes?" Nate asked. "Wow, that's huge."

Wendy and the gang were all hanging out in Thompson's garage when she decided to mention to them about her plans to spend the winter holiday's with Dipper and his family. For some reason, they all thought that this was her way of saying that she and Dipper were hooking up.

"With the Pines family. This includes Dipper, Mabel, their parents, and maybe a few other relatives, I'm not sure. There is nothing romantic about it."

"I don't know. You two always did seem pretty close back when the little dude was hanging out with us during the summer," Lee pointed out.

"Yeah. Even when you were dating Robbie," Thompson added. Which got him a big old punch on the shoulder from Robbie. "Obviously."

"Ouch! That hurt."

"Shut up Thompson," Robbie said in response.

"Both of you shut up!" Wendy screamed, thus ending the little fight between the two guys.

"Listen. There's nothing going on between me and Dipper. I'm just going to stay over at his place in order to get away from my crazy family. Don't get me wrong, I do love them, but they can get a bit difficult to live with, especially when confined to a small cottage for a month. I just need to get away, blow some steam, and hang out with some friends for a while without the stress of family, work, or school."

"Why don't you just stay with one of us?" Tambry offered.

"Because my dad would never let me spend the month hanging out with people he knows will just be vandalizing stuff, and pissing off the cops. No offence."

"Eh, none taken. We do this sort of thing all the time," Nate said.

"Yeah, I planned on doing some major vandalism this winter break," Robbie agreed. "I even ordered these sweet new paint grenades to throw at people's cars, particularly the cops."

This caused Wendy to giggle, "Do me a favour and post some pictures of it online."

"Sure. I bet your 'boyfriend' would love to see them too," Robbie teased. "Ah ha, ha."

Of course, Wendy punched Robbie hard on the shoulder in response.

"OWCH!"

"Anyways," Wendy continued. "My dad approves of me staying with Dipper since he's way more mature and responsible than most teens his age. Plus, unlike his uncle Stan, his parents aren't lying, backstabbing criminals. So, to him, the chances of me doing anything, well 'crazily illegal' aren't as high there with the Pines as they are here with you guys. Still no offence."

"Uh, he does know that when it comes to you, those chances are always very high, right?" Thompson asked.

"Yeah well, he doesn't know me as well as he thinks."

In all honesty, Wendy wasn't as close with her father as it seemed. Manly Dan was pretty much the stereotypical brut type of father who preferred his sons over his daughter. That's not to say that he doesn't love Wendy, but he just doesn't' spend as much time hanging out with her as he does with his three sons. Another reason why Wendy wanted to go to Piedmont for the holiday's as it gave her the chance to spend time with people, (besides Soos, Tambry, Nate, Lee, Robbie, and Thompson), who truly knew her.

"I can totally relate," Robbie stated. "But enough talk about the Pines family. Let's get the hell out of this cruddy garage and go to Yumberjacks, I'm starving."

"Ditto," Tambry said in agreement, which was immediately followed by the rest of the gang voicing out their desire for food.

With that being settled, and everyone seeming to finally lay off the whole 'Wendy x Dipper' thing, as they all got in Thompson's minivan, heading off towards Yumberjack for some good old fast food.

Meanwhile in Piedmont

Piedmont, a town that, unlike Gravity Falls, was completely normal and supernatural-free. Well, that's what you would expect. But the supernatural is everywhere, and most can't see it. An example of this being right behind some footwear store, where a brown-haired man suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

Checking to make sure the coast was clear, the man pressed a button on the device he wore on his wrist, changing his outfit from a light grey jumpsuit and white boots into a black hoodie with ripped jeans, and muddy sneakers. The man then pressed another button on his wrist device and spoke into it.

"This is time traveller Blandin. I've arrived in Piedmont, November 2012 as planned. I shall report in when the mission is complete."

End of Chapter 2

Oh, I wonder what Blendin has to do with this story. Well, I guess we'll just have to wait until I write the next chapter.

Speaking of, the next one might not be out as soon as the first two. The reason being that I'm going to Hal-Con this weekend and won't be back till Sunday afternoon. Meaning that I won't get much time on the weekend to work on it.
