**Epilogue~

Dipper gazed out the window of the hospital room, looking out into the town covered in white. He felt a pain in his back every time he moved. The back brace he was wearing didn't seem to give him much comfort. Glancing over to the side, he saw Wendy fast asleep in the bed right beside his own. Dipper smiled softly and gently ran his fingers through her hair. Dipper knew they would both need a lot of time to recover, but he was thankful they had managed to survive through it all. Wendy stirred in her sleep but didn't awaken. Dipper held her close, being careful not to hurt her as he did so.

"Guess we've been through a lot huh..?" he asked her sleeping form. "We wouldn't have survived if it wasn't for you.."

Wendy mumbled in her sleep and Dipper smiled.

"You mean so much to me, Wendy.."

He gave a soft kiss on the cheek before letting his head rest on top on hers. He hugged her close.

"I love you, Wendy.."

"Dipper?"

Dipper looked at her.

"Wendy, I-I'm sorry if I woke you up.. I.."

He was cut off as Wendy gave him a soft kiss on the cheek.

"It's fine, Dipper.. And.. I already kinda knew.."

"Knew?" asked Dipper, confused.

To answer Dipper's question, Wendy leaned in and gave him a gentle kiss. Dipper was taken by surprise as his lips met hers. After about a moment, Wendy pulled back. Dipper stared at her, his cheeks having now become a deep rosey color.

"I love you too, man.." Wendy smiled.

Dipper didn't know how to react to this. His heart was beating madly in his chest. Wendy laughed and gently ruffled Dipper's hair. This snapped Dipper out of his trance and he pulled away.

"Hey!" he cried out, playfully giving her a shove.

Wendy laughed happily and Dipper joined her. He knew they would both be okay. Wendy was the strongest person he knew and even when they were against the odds, they still made it through to the end. Wendy soon Dipper into a loving embrace and Dipper returned it, knowing they would both survive.
