After three long years, Mabel and Dipper finally return to Gravity Falls. Will Wendy date Dipper, or will an unexpected comforter in the woods flip their summer upside-down? Note:Previously titled 'Teenage Gravity Falls', but after major revisions I renamed it. If you want to read the old version it is still listed as Teenage Gravity Falls. The beginnings are the same, plot is not.

Pacifica's POV

I still haven't quite gotten used to living in the Shack yet. It's strange seeing Dipper stumble downstairs (barely awake) shirtless, or Mabel bursting into my room every morning to wake me up for breakfast. It sure does top my old house though, no matter how strange it gets. As i lay in bed, thinking, Mabel bursts into the room. I look at the clock. It says 7am. Classic Mabel.

"Good morning Pacifica! I just couldn't wait to tell you. I'm pretty sure Dipper's going to ask you on a date today. I heard him rehearsing to himself in the mirror. It's going to be so great! I'm so excited and I'm not even the one going on a date!" Mabel says, excited as usual.

"That's great Mabel, but it's only 7. Couldn't this wait for a few hours?" I ask.

"Nope!" Mabel says as she practically drags me out of bed and into the kitchen. I rub my eyes. Dipper is eating cereal. Mabel must have gotten him up too, he usual doesn't get up this early unless he is going on a mystery hunt. I yawn.

"Morning, Dipper." I say.

"I'll leave you two alone." Mabel says with a wink as she leaves the room .

"Mabel! All I said was good morning! We didn't start making out!" I tell her. I notice Dipper slightly blush at that last comment. Mabel does love her matchmaking. She's sweet as can be, but can take her matchmaking too far. Correction: Does take it too far.

"So, Pacifica, I was wondering if..." Dipper starts to ask.

"I know, Mabel already told me you would ask me on a date. Where to?" I say.

"Of course she did. There's a showing of Ghost Harassers: The Movie at 7."

"Sure. What should we do till then?" I ask, hoping we can have some alone time before the movie.

"We can go to the pool, it's supposed to be a hot one today. It opens at 8, so we have time to go change, and may as well do something now that we're up so early."

"Alright. Let me go change." I walk to my room. I was hoping for something more romantic that the community pool, but at least I'll see Dipper shirtless. I'll take what I can get. I open my drawer to decide on a swimsuit. I choose a purple bikini. I grab my sunglasses, tote, slide on my wedges, and throw on a cover-up. I walk downstairs to find Dipper waiting by the door. Man, he's fast.

"Ready to go?" He asks.

"You bet." I tell him. We walk over to the car and get in. It takes only a few minutes to get to the pool, which is already swamped. Little kids run around, teens cannonball into the pool, and it smells like a mixture of sunblock, ice cream, and chlorine. Dipper and I search for two empty chairs. It takes a minute, but we find some by the snack bar. Kids constantly run by it yelling. This is probably why nobody is sitting here. It is super hot outside. I strip off my coverup and pull my hair into a ponytail, away from my face. I notice Dipper blush as i took off my coverup. He stares at me.

"What are you staring at?" I ask, jokingly.

"Uh, um, I guess you just look really pretty." Now it's my turn to blush.

"You don't look so bad yourself. Who knew you had abs like that." I say, flirting. We lean in to kiss and the lifeguard blows the whistle.

"Let's get in the pool" I state. Dipper nods and we dip into the pool, which is so busy you hardly have two inches of personal space.

"Hey, there's this serene lake in the middle of the woods that no one knows about. Do you want to go there instead? Dipper asks.

"Yes, let's get out of here." I say. We hop out of the pool and dry off. I grab my tote and get into the car with Dipper. We drive a little ways until we get into the forest. He parks the car.

"We have to walk the rest of the way, but it's not too far." Dipper tells me. I get out of the car and slip my hand into Dipper's. We walk a little ways until we get to a small lake, untouched by human hands.

"Oh, Dipper it's gorgeous!" I says and kiss him. He seems startled for a minute, then returns the action. After a few minutes, I come up for air.

"You're right Dip, this is much better than the town pool."
