**Epilogue~

Though it had taken weeks for the water to recede, the citizens of Gravity Falls were making a decent amount of progress in cleaning up the town. Mabel and her friend Greta and Candy helped keep spirits high as they helped to clear all the debris that had been left behind. With Ford, Stan, and Soos' help, they were able to clean up and repair some of the less damaged building to give some of the citizens a place to stay for the time being. Dipper and Wendy helped Lazy Susan turn the mansion's main hall into an improvised kitchen to make up for the loss of the diner to insure everyone in the work effort would be fed. Dipper glanced over to see Wendy had went out into the hillside. A bit concerned, Dipper followed behind her.

"Wendy?"

She turned around and gave him a smile.

"Hey.." she responded softly.

"Everything okay?"

Wendy just turned and looked back out into the distance.

"So much has happened.." Wendy muttered softly. "What if.. What if it's never the same?"

Dipper approached and gently took her hand.

"It won't be, Wendy.. But that's not going to change anything.."

She gave him an off look, to which Dipper replied.

"It won't change because we're all still here.. Even if everything got destroyed.. It won't change the fact that we can make it better.."

Dipper then let out a frustrated grunt.

"GOD! That sounds so CLICHE!"

Wendy chuckled at this and gave his shoulder a light punch.

"It doesn't matter, Dipper.. You're still right..! Even if it's cliche."

Dipper smiled at this and soon looked out toward the town.

"We really made it through the worst of it, hadn't we?" he asked.

"Yeah.." responded Wendy. "It's because of you that we were able to get to safety."

Dipper chuckled nervously and scratched the back of his head.

"Yeah.."

They were silent before Dipper turned to Wendy and gave her a soft peck on the cheek. Wendy stared at him in surprise but soon smiled and leaned down to give him a soft kiss. At first Dipper was in shock but soon his eyes slipped closed as he put his arms arms around her, gently kissing her back. Out in the distance, the sun had begun to set as the work on fixing Gravity Falls continued.
