Do's, and Don't's at the holidays.
Don't force Candy under the mistletoe
After the Gideon incident earlier that day, Dipper was being paranoid about being anywhere near the stuff. He turned his sweater off, and kept his eyes on the mistletoe as if it would sneak up on him. Wendy showed up late for work, and she didn't seem to care. Wendy sat there behind the counter, and put her feet up on the counter. Dipper watched her, and then glanced at the mistletoe.
It was then that Wendy got up, and walked towards the doorway running into Soos under the mistletoe.
"Somehow, I knew this was going to happen," Soos muttered in his usual ridiculous tone.
Wendy wrapped her arms around Soos' neck, and he dipped her downwards under the mistletoe to kiss her. It was a kiss that both of them were waiting for. Soos, had always liked the redhead, but never had the courage to say anything to her. They were friends, he knew that was good enough until you added mistletoe into the equation.
Dipper sighed. They finished, and then there was a knock at the Shacks door. "That's funny," Dipper narrated in his head. "The door was unlocked." He peered outside seeing the blizzard like conditions. "Who would possibly out in this?" Whoever it was knocked again.
"Someone get the door. That means you, Dipper," Stan grumbled from his chair in the living room.
"Fine," Dipper huffed, glancing up at the mistletoe. He was at the door when the next knock sounded. Dipper looked through the window, and didn't see anyone. "It must have been the wind." There was another knock before Dipper realized that there was someone out there.
He flung the door open only to find Candy standing there in her winter coat, mittens, hat, and scarf. "O my god! It's Candy," Wendy exclaimed biting back an innocent laugh.
"Candy!" Dipper exclaimed, grabbing one of the girls mittened hands to pull her into the Mystery Shack. "What are you doing outside in this?"
Candy shook her head as her glasses began to fog up. "I was on my way here when the snow started. It was pretty at first, but then it became all blizardy. I was closer to the Shack, then I was to my house so I came here."
"Dude, you are under the mistletoe," Wendy stated pointing above Dipper. It didn't surprise him that he stood with Candy under mistletoe.
"Well, it is a tradition," Dipper muttered. Candy was wiping her glasses with the edge of her blue sweater. She put her black rimmed glasses delicately back in her face. It was then that Dipper, leaned in to kiss her. Candy yelped in shock at his sudden advance. Her lips were cold just like her cheeks, and her hands.
"Why did you kiss me?" Candy asked curiously.
Instead of speaking he just pointed at the mistletoe hanging on yarn above there heads. "That is not important though. Let's get you some hot chocolate, or something."
Candy nodded. Mabel was there from her perch in the rafters. She was the one holding the mistletoe with the help of her grappling hook. "Dipper! Make me some too. Please!" Mabel yelled, landing nimbly on her feet.
