Welcome to Day 2 of Wendip Week 2017! Today is my entry for Time Travel. If you have any critisisms of it, leave a review of it so that it may be improved at a later date. If you feel that a particular oneshot should be extended into a full fanfic, let me know. If you enjoyed, let me know. If not, let me know why. Oh, and the italic's part is definatly not taken from Terry Pratchet's character of Death.

Stop lying.

Anyway, the story!

Dipper turned to face Wendy, his face keeping back tears. It had been 2 days since Mabel disappeared, and Dipper was becoming desperate. He needed to know what happened to her and where she was. He knew exactly what he needed.

"Wendy? I think you have something I need."

"Dipper, it's 3:15 in the morning. What could possibly need me being up now?"

"Mabel."

"Oh god. What have you done now?"

"What are you implying?"

"Yesterday morning, you said that you needed Waddles. He ended up the oven, somehow. In our house. You had him in the Mystery Shack. This evening, you needed Mabel's friends. I had to deal with two hyperventilating teens. You went to the Multi-Bear with them. He gave you a dirty sock, and scared off the girls. WHAT is you next idea?"

"The tape measure. I need it."

"Oh what, to find out the width of the bed she sat in so that you can find out how far away she is? No, I've had enough of your madness for one day. Call the police. Give them something to do other than mess with teenagers." With that, she left and lay against the wall.

"Oh my god, I've messed this up." Wendy muttered.

"Oh my god, I've messed this up." Dipper mumbled.

Dipper looked in his hands for the Time Tape. He should have grabbed it, it was on the counter near the door.

Oh god, he'd lost the Time Tape again. He needed it right now.

Wendy looked in her hands.

"Wendy! Have you seen my-"

There was a bright flash from one of the walls.

Where was she?

4 months ago.

"Well. I can successfully say that I have now heard a kid talk for 45 minutes about being 1mm shorter than his own sister. That only makes her taller than you in Canada."

"I know, it just bothered me. Thanks for listening to me ramble for ages."

"No problem dude!"

A white flash appeared in the forest

Wendy set out her fire red hair. As she watched Dipper talk to the Wendy of this timeline, she felt, for once in this crazy month, happy. Wendy smiled as she hid herself in a nearby bush..

"So, what you wanna do?"

"Eh. I'm free until about 8. Whatever's ok with you."

"Really? Um...uh.."

"Stick to the plan and ,in your words, watch Cannibal Vampire Wasp Beach Party followed by The Prisoners of the Sisters in Gold Boots, all while doing nothing at all to keep you fit and ready for the apocalypse?"

"Yeah,"

Most people assume time is a linear series of cause and effect. But from a third person outward view, time is more of a big ball of time matter, just knitted together in a hope that it stays together. It's less of a fabric, and more of a rug. A rug ball. What have we come to in failing to understand the complexities of time?

"S-sir! W-we have a situation!"

What is it, boy?

"We have a Human Translocation Time Anomaly detected with one of our TIme Tapes. In 2013, a 'Wendy Blerble Corderoy' appears to be in two places at once."

Blerble? What sort of name is that? Are we using outdated records? Because that's a boy's middle name being given to a girl.

"No s-sir! We j-just use b-birth records for those in the years below 3012 instead of death records. It's easier than sending an entire troop to gain information we will basically never use."

Fine. Send an T.A.C unit to deal with it.

2012

"Let's just get out of here. It feels like we're being watched or something."

"Well, you should be ready for the apocalypse then. As if we're going to get one. Race you to my place!"

Well that wasn't how she remembered this going. Something was wrong. She needed to get out of here, so set the Time Tape to send her to a different, random time and triggered the device, shooting her through the time cosmos.

As Wendy went through time, a figure started materializing where Wendy had been, before dematerializing, muttering something that sounded like 'stupid drunk Blendin'. As well as this, the trees made a noise, almost like laughing.

2002

Wendy landed next to a rubbish bin, and looked around her. Why was she HERE? When she first met the cute boy? It couldn't be Dipper, that's insane even for Dipper.

Then again…

207012

"No one was there, sir! I swear!

Well isn't this interesting…. The girl ran away, leaving a memory she doesn't have in her own mind. We need to remove it. It could cause a bigger issue later on.

"H-how do we do that?"

Easy. Get me the archives on this Fiddleford Hadron McGucket fella, year 2012. Not to be mistaken with the crazy 207012 guy from Dimention 56. I might have an idea that needs him.

2002

The street was almost deserted. Toby was tap-dancing in an empty room, the next corner had two children on kid's bikes, there was the "Get'em" guy whose name no one remembered (was it Tyrone? No, that can't be right. Last name was something stupid like cuteybiker, or whatever) listening to something with a full-on speaker system, rather than just ear phones, and two figures were walking towards the cross roads. The two looked out of place, almost recognisable but too far away for Wendy to properly see. She didn't recognize this year, so she checked the Time Tape for the date. July 13th 2002.

Then she saw who it was; it was Dipper Pines, as a 12 year old, unaware of where he was going. With him was Mabel, banging on the window that Toby was dancing in, and shouting something that made him upset.

But if that's the case, then that must be-

Oh no.

2012

"I'm sorry. I'm so sorry…"

207012

Please report your status, alpha team.

2002

"I can't watch this." she muttered to no one. She reached for her tape measure, wanting to go back to 2012.

2012

"Why did you leave me, Wendy? It's always my fault. Why am I even here?"

207012

What do you mean, you've lost her? GO AFTER HER!

2012

"Dude, I'm right here. You were looking at the wrong wall."

"WENDY!"

207012

I swear, go after whoever is messing around with time illegally, or you will find yourself in a lot of trouble…

2012

The pair embraced. "Wendy? Are you OK?"
"No, dude. I don't want to-"

No words could describe what happened next.

So I won't.

207012

Wait, WHAT?! Who decided that what you guys just did was a good idea and a brilliant use of time taxpayer's time money? Lolph? That time idiot who couldn't time count to time ten?

"Yes, sir!"

I wasn't expecting to talk to him today. Bring him to my office.

"Y-yes sir."

Right, let's get this over with
