Hello. Day 6 here. If I go back and change update these stories, this one will easily be near the top of the list. It has an idea that I know is stolen from somewhere but I can't be bothered to find it ATM. So if this is your original idea, credit to you and whatever.

TO THE STORY!


"Well, Mabel. Who are your ships at the moment? Let's see… Me and Wendy or Pacifica, yeah. Expected that at the top. People we can't contact, blah blah. Candy and Richard… Maybe I could work on that one? I'd have to check it out with the master of these things…" Dipper muttered. It was approaching April Fools Day, and DIpper didn't want to disappoint. He had been dared by several of the townsfolk of Piedmont to stir up trouble with Mabel's ships, as they were growing sick and tired of constantly being forced into relationships that they didn't want to explore for various reasons. When better to mess with something than the day no one takes seriously?

Thinking of the perfect April Fool's prank for Mabel, he called Wendy, wondering if she'd thought of anything that he could use. Apparently, Wendy was the queen of April Fool's Day.

"Hello? Is this Wendy?"

"The number you have called," Wendy said in a voice that mocked the voicemail system on her phone, "is fucking you over. Please hold as your ass is- oh, erm… Hi DIpper, thought you were someone else…. Hehheh."

"Umm… Ok. I'Il hope that's for Friday. Anyway…."

"So, what's up?"
"Oh, not much. Just thinking how I could prank Mabel. Apparently you know how to prank people well. Sort of the Prank Mistress of Gravity Falls, according to some."

"Yeah dude! Any ideas?"

"The only thing I have is her current ship list. I can't do much with that."

"Well, who's on it?"

"Well, there's us two, since she still holds onto the past. Like that's gonna happen in my lifetime. There's Candy and a friend of Mabel's, can't do much with that really now that I think about it.. And there's me and Pacifica. I don't know why. Bill and Jess, WIlliam and Cortney, Max and Chloe, etc."

"Yeah, about that. Are you… er seeing anyone at the moment?"

"Who, me? The nerd who spends all day indoors reading whatever he can get his hands on and spends far too much time playing online D D and more D? Yeah, I've got all the girls looking for me."

"Hehe, well, I'll think about what I could do over here."

"Yeah, ok. Let me know if you have any ideas."

"Ok. Oh and Dipper?"

"Yeah?"

"Stay safe." Wendy seriously stated. "It might not be Gravity Falls levels of weird, but California can get pretty bad. I don't, like want to see you hurt, at all. You get me?"

"Umm….. yeah?"

"Ok, cool, call you back!"

"Bye.." The phone line went dead.

Both left their feelings unannounced. This could get bad very quickly. Wendy collapsed against the wall of the Mystery Shack, wondering what was going on between them, before plotting her next move. Very. VERY. Carefully..

"Hello? Is this the Northwests? Yes, could I get Pacifica on please? Tell her a friend of Dipper's is calling. Yes, I'll hold, what else would I do to the phone?"

"Hello, Pacifica? Yeah, it's Wendy. Listen, how much would you be willing to be paid to help me prank Mabel tomorrow? No, I'm not joking. Why would I joke about this? It's April 1st on Friday. What I've planned for Mabel won't be near half what I've planned for you lot. All I need is one photo. Maybe two. Ok, I'll get back to you."


"Dipper? Yes, I've got the best idea for what could be done for Mabel's pank, and you won't like it."

"What is it? I've got to go in like, 5 minutes ago."

"What if the two people she paired with you suddenly found themselves in a relationship?"

"NO. You have no idea what can of worms that will open. If she tells my parents, they will NEVER send us back to-sure. Why not? What could go wrong with that idea? That's a good idea for the assignment. Especially given the theme of loss we were recommended to do. Ok, see ya! Don't forget, video games at 8, your place!"

Then Dipper hung up.

WHY did Mabel have to enter just as he wanted to tell Wendy off for that stupid idea?

Why was he telling Wendy off? Why is he still asking questions about Wendy, he's should be over her. He got friendzoned, he was dealing with it in a calm and sensible manner. What was this emptiness he was feeling? It wasn't quite loneliness, it was…

Dipper put these thoughts away as he headed off to baseball .

WHY was Dipper of all people shouting at her? She was the one that needed to let off some steam, not him. What on earth was he talking about? What sort of person had Dipper become? Why was Wendy OK with that person? And why was Wendy feeling flustered all of a sudden?

Wendy put this thought away.


"So what. You need me looking happy? Why?"

"Because tomorrow is April Fools day, and this is for Mabel's prank. Don't worry, Yours has been sorted out already. I've been planning this for, like, a month. This is just for Dipper's prank. His sister will go crazy, he'll go a different kind of crazy, and I'll have the pleasure of seeing the whole thing."
"What? Why? How?"

"A lady never reveals these types of things."

"h, whatever. Just be quick, we can't take long."


The night before April Fools day fell over Piedmont.


"Are you sure this'll work?"

"If she can read, she'll work it out."

"O...k…"

"Dude, it isn't real. I''d never do that to you. You know that, right?"

"Yeah, just feeling a bit down right now."

"Why?"

"I dunno. Puberty and junk?"

"Maybe. Speaking of, when you next come here, you better be taller than Mabel!"

"Why? What sort of-"

"Stan and I made a bet. If you're shorter, I do one week unpaid work. If you're taller, I do one week with double pay. So, I need puberty to hit, like, right now."

"(in a pretend deep voice) Oh no! Why is there hair growing there? And why am I so sad? Agh! My head! It's banged against the ceiling!"

"Hehe. Dork."

"(normal) Yeah." Silence. "So what's going on west of Weird?"

"Well, the humans are coping well since the event. Monsters, though, have been spooked. Manotaurs have taken on 'Bodacious T' as one of their own for some reason, Pacifica is being nice to people, the Unicorns are sharing their hair to Bill-proof the Bill statue in case he takes that body.

"Huh. So these letters weren't from anyone in Gravity Falls. Right."

"What letters?"

"Just some letters praising someone's 'everlasting love' for me. Started since late February."

"Huh. Read them out to me."

"Ok, let me just get one. They're all the same, so I won't be long." Dipper got up and started looking around. At this exact moment, Wendy started hyperventilating, grabbing a nearby pillow and hugging it to calm herself down from her mini panic attack.

Dipper coughed. "'Will you accept me after what I had done to you? My everlasting love for you requires no logic or reason. A no or a yes is all I need to know. You know this, Dipper Pines. Your admirer.' That's weird. No one I know in Piedmont or Gravity Falls would send these messages."

Wendy hung up. Dipper was shocked, wondering why she hung up. Then he noticed something.


The morning came.

As Mabel awoke from her childishly pink bed, she saw a note on her bedside table, written "I'm sorry" on the side most visible to her. After about 5 minutes of Mabel getting up, she read the other side of the note. It read:

"A note for Mabel.

Pacifica and I have been thinking about something that you've done somewhat recently regarding Dipper's relationship status.

Really, you tried to set up Pacifica, the richest girl in Gravity Falls, and Dipper, the nerdiest kid in Piedmont.

Insanity describes that action, Mabel.

Luckily, Wendy's still single, so you think that you'll set me and him up.

February arrives, you come up with the same plan Dipper will never do because of the bunker incident.

Obviously, we will never be together.

Over my dead body.

Luckily, there should be girls in Piedmont that Dipper can talk to, right?

Sincerely, Wendy Corduroy."

With this note was some photos. These photos posed Wendy and Pacifica together in various places. They looked happy.

Mabel was about to sob. Her perfect pairs for her bro-bro were gone forever. Nothing good would happen from it. Dipper wasn't up yet, she needed comforting.


When Dipper woke up, he felt like hell. His eyes were burning, he had a massive headache, his legs were killing him. Why? Dipper didn't know. Dipper stretched out. His legs weren't moving. There was a massive weight forced against them. He took a look to see what it was. For some reason, Mabel was hugging his legs.

Well, he now knows why his legs hurt.

"Dipper? Why were you crying last night?"

"What?" That could explain why his eyes were burning, but it made no sense.

"Dipper?"

"What? Mabel, what are you doing?"

"Doing what I should have done ages ago."

Mabel grabbed the scissors nearby.

And cut the note.

The first letter of each line spelt out "APRIL FOOLS".

Mabel knew.

"What? You think I'd do something serious? I don't care if someone is bi anyway! Have you seen my ship list? Ker-Pranked!"

"Mabel, I was kinda worried."

"I should be more worried about you. You cried your eyes out last night."

"Again, I have no idea what you're talking about." Dipper had no idea what she was talking about.


"Wendy?"

"Yeah, what's up?"

"Did you send these letters?"

"Why would you think that?"

"The start of every line spells out "Wendy".

Wendy hung up, her face suddenly gaining colour. Why did she send those letters? What was she expecting?
