Welcome back to the story! I liked the idea of making a picture to go along with each chapter, but then I realised I don't always like each part of the stories I write. :\ So I'm not going to do it for each chapter. Something also new is that I am going to write one chapter for each day of the month he has to have the cast on. So expect about 30 chapters or so... maybe 31 to make a chapter for an extra day once he has his cast off.

Anyway, this chapter has some DipperxWendy. Cause if there wasn't an 4 year age gap, I think those two would definitely be together~

Lets get onto the chapter, shall we?

The next morning, Dipper decided to go sit with Wendy at the cash-register, since of course, he couldn't do anything else. Or at least that is what he told people. Truth is he just really wanted to hang with Wendy... You all know why, too. You should have seen Wendy's face when Dipper walked in with a cast on. She was surprised, to say the least.

"What happened to you?" She said, giggling while talking.

"Tripped and broke my ankle." Dipper said bluntly while taking a seat on the barrel next to the counter, placing his crutches behind the counter, still in reach but out of the way of customers who decided it would be fun to visit this mess Grunkle Stan liked to call a tourist attraction. He sighed and looked over at Wendy, who was looking at him, puzzled look plastered on her face.

"Did you like... trip over a tree or something?" She asked.

"Something like that." He replied back.

"Are you gonna have people sign it?" She asked, leaning up against the counter to get a better look at the cast.

"I don't know. Mabel told me last night that she was gonna try and bedazzle it. It took a lot to get her to get the idea that I would let her out of her head." He said, a flashback from last night of him laying on his bed, pushing Mabel off of him.

Dipper sighed and leaned against the counter next to him. His eyes were closed, but soon re-opened when he felt something adding light pressure on his leg. He sat up and opened his eyes, finding that his cast had been written on.

'Get better soon, Dork

-Wendy '

Wendys personality was clearly shown in what she had written. He looked over to his right to see Wendy taking her seat back in front of the cash register. She looked over at him and smiled. He smiled back.

He sat there for most of Wendy's work time, only getting up to go eat lunch and go to the bathroom. He was getting better at getting around on his own, and he was happy for that. Soos signed his cast half way through the day. It was sloppy, but you could tell it said Soos. Mabel signed it too, and drew little pictures all around her name of cats, stars, flowers and the like. She spent most of the day being "boy crazy" to try to find the one boy who could give her the epic summer romance that she wanted.

Night time fell over Gravity Falls quickly that day...

"So I was standing next to this cute boy in the book store and he was reading a book about knitting. I got so excited and I jumped up and down and I told him that I loved knitting! I tried to get some small talk going with him about knitting but he told me he had to get home to do stuff for his mom. I think this might be it, Dipper! My epic summer romance!" Mabel said, jumping up and down on her bed.

"Mabel, did you even find out his name?" Dipper asked, looking up from his book and over at Mabel.

"No..." Mabel said, stopping her jumping fun to ponder Dipper's question, "When I see him next, I'll ask him." She finished happily, going back to her jumping.

Dipper shook his head and sighed, beginning to read again. This is the third time he read this book, but every time he reads it, it feels like the first. He is still full of wonder and excitement for what is in store for him and Mabel for the rest of the summer. That excitement was soon dropped when he saw his cast covered ankle. He was going to be stuck in this thing for the next month and there was nothing he could do about it.

He groaned and went back to reading. He was re-reading about the floating eyeballs. Just looking at them freaked him out. From time to time, when he felt like he was being watched, he would stare out the window to see if there was anything floating about.

"Mabel... do you think the Floating Eyeballs exist?" He said, looking over at Mabel. She stopped jumping and let her body slam against her bed, head on her pillow.

"I think you're paranoid." She said, grabbing her stuffed animal and curling up under the covers.

Dipper sighed. 'Maybe she's right...' He thought. Closing his book up and placing in on the table next to him, he flipped off the lamp and went to sleep, careful not to knock around his leg too much.

Thump

Dipper moaned, and rolled over in his bed, still asleep.

Thump

Dipper slowly woke up. He opened his eyes and groaned, sitting up slowly. He rubbed his eyes, ridding them of sleep and sleep tears. He looked over at the window, trying to find the source of the thumping...

He carefully stood up, trying not to wake up his sister, who was curled up into a tight ball and hugging her stuffed animal close to her still undeveloped chest. He looked out the window and saw something small and round float by one of the trees on the outer edge of the forest. It had a light glow around it...

He pulled on his shoes and vest, grabbed his crutches and did his best to quietly make it out of the house. He tried to refrain from making too much noise with his cast, seeing as it was as hard as a rock and would make a lot of noise if he hit anything.

He grabbed his green backpack which he left by the door and ventured outside into the night. Little did he know that in the night, more creatures dwell. He was in for an adventure, alright.

An adventure indeed.

So how am I doing? I'm trying to mix some adventure in here. Kinda like... 'Just cause I have a cast on my leg doesn't mean I'm not going to continue to find out what is going on in this town' kind of adventure. :) I'm extremely excited for what's gonna happen in the next chapter. Sorry this one was so short. Next one guarantees to be longer! Please Review!
