Chapter 4:
Thanks for the support given. Big thanks to a Guest who gave a massive review on what to work on. I cannot promise I will be able to fix them all but I will try. Anyway here's the next chapter.
(Dipper POV)
I just sat with a black stare, thinking about what Wendy just said. This was not expected. I was meant to tell her I loved her and for her to turn me down saying we were friends. I always imagined this scene happening in my dreams but living it was much more… terrifying. "Are you serious," I stammered out, "You mean like a little brother right?
"No, I mean like I actually have feelings about you." Wendy turned away, standing up as she did so. "Sorry, I realise the mistake this is. I'll drop your hat off in the morning." She said and started to walk off holding herself in her arms.
I sat confused until I realised what Wendy must be thinking. Judging my reaction, she must think I don't feel the same way. "Wendy wait," jumping to my feet and placing my hand on her shoulder before she could leave. "I love you too." I blurted out. Wendy stopped in her tracks, before turning around allowing me to see tears sliding down her freckled checks.
"Really?" She said quietly as her voice began cracking.
Smiling at her "I always have, from that day we first met to now. I just didn't expect it that's all." Putting my arms out and pulled her into a hug.
Wendy began to openly weep into my shoulder but I could tell from the sounds she was making they were tears of joy. Feeling the cool feel of them as they dampened my shirt touching my skin, but I couldn't care less. The woman of my dreams was in my arms and I was too afraid to let go in fear of waking up and seeing this was a dream. "It's ok." Whispering into her ear. "I'll be here for you."
We stood there holding each other before she whispered "So I guess this means you and me are a thing then?"
That cracked me up, despite the seriousness of the situation I couldn't help it. "Yeah, it does." Unable to stop grinning. "Let's get you home before it gets to dark." Breaking apart the hug and holding her hand as we wandered off.
"I thought I was meant to be the responsible one." Sniffed Wendy letting a smile creep up on her face as she dabbed at the loose remnants of tears still clinging on.
"You better be joking. We both know that's not true."
"Yeah… that's because you do such a great job of looking after me," Wendy turned to me smiling. "One of the reasons I love you."
"Love you too." I said gazing into her green eyes which sparkled like emeralds.
"Well come on dork." Wendy joked "We're at my place now." I glanced up and mentally let out a groan recognising the wooden panels of her house. "I'll go upstairs and get it, I don't think my dad would appreciate a guest this late at night." I let out a shiver realising she had a point as Dan may view me as a threat this late at night, before watching as she turned her back and ran inside while I stood out in the cold waiting for her return.
"Thanks again." I said when she appeared at the door, and placed her hat on my head drawing close to me.
She leaned forward and before I knew it kissed me on the lips. Fireworks blew up in my head as I could feel the softness of her lips touch mine. Reigniting the burning love, I had for her once again. She pulled away after what felt like minutes but was only 5 seconds. "See you tomorrow." She said as she closed the door. I just stood there though. I felt like I must have definitely died and gone to heaven. Wendy loves me and I just got my first kiss from her. I only began to move as I saw Manly Dan peek around from the side of a curtain, afraid of his wrath if he found I out I kissed his only daughter. I began the short walk home with my body heading to the Mystery shack but my heart pulling the opposite direction. She kissed me. She kissed me. I repeated through my mind. Walking in a trance like movement, I didn't notice that I had walked inside and was just sitting on the couch until Mabel smacked my face.
"DIPPINGSAUSE YOU IN THERE!" Jolting to my senses I glanced at her shocked.
"Did you really just slap me?"
"Yes and I'll do it again unless you tell me what's up. You came in here all happy and just sat down for a good five minutes before I came over and did this." Slapping me in the face again.
"JESUS!" cradling my face feeling the pain still linger in the same place while Mabel just sat there giggling.
"Sorry, just too much of a good opportunity to pass by. But seriously what were you doing? Its 10:30."
"Well…" Letting a smile come back to my face "Me and Wendy are now officially a thing."
Mabel started laughing "No what actually happened?" I turned to face her and just continued to look at her. "Wait, you're not joking?" Then she started squealing at the top of her voice. "THE SHIP IS COMPLETE! SS. WENDIP HAS SET SAIL!"
"Shut up!" I hissed at her not wanting Stan or Ford to overhear. "And what's Wendip?
It's the name Grenda, Candy and me thought for you two when you got together. Now you must tell me everything that's happened." Moving herself closer to me on the couch.
"Sure if you promise to not tell anyone." Mabel shook her head up and down furiously so fast I thought it might tear off. I began to tell her all about the evenings events only having to stop a few times to make sure she didn't hyperventilate. Once I reached the point where Wendy kissed me I had to pause to stop blushing and fight Mabel away from her cell phone to prevent her from calling her friends and revealing to all of Gravity falls.
"I want to keep it a secret for the moment until I make sure with Wendy its fine."
"But it's true love. The world must know!" pulling at the phone.
"My decision which makes it final." Standing my ground as the tug of war match over the phone continued.
"UHH, ok" Mabel groaned "It's just you two are going to be so cute together when you weren't a couple; now you guys are going to be irresistible. When's your first date?"
I actually pondered on this for a bit. I never planned on getting this far. I always imagined a fancy restaurant or someplace like that but Wendy's not the type of girl who's into that lifestyle. "I don't know, maybe a picnic at the top of the falls or something. Anyway…" Letting out a yawn "I'm off to bed today's been a big day."
"Ok lover boy" Mabel called out as I made my way upstairs "See you in the morning." Opening the door to our room I quickly changed into my pyjamas and jumped into bed turning off the light. I tried to sleep but I couldn't break my mind from the fact that today was the greatest day of my life and the kiss making the evening. Her soft touch ran through my had as I relieved those five seconds again time after time until sleep took me in its calm and warm embrace.
Meanwhile, unknown to anyone, on the other side of gravity falls in a run-down Junk yard a beeping began playing in beeps and pauses of an old busted laptop repeating the same pattern again and again echoing into the night.
Yes, shorter chapter that usual but I've been busy racing and studying for exams so pressure is on. I'm going to add a mystery element in which I have been planning. Yeah I know I wrote a few parts of this chapter pretty poorly I think but cut some slack with the timing please. I am still writing in what little spare time I have though. Till next time.
