The last Gravity bender ch. 6

I OWN AND REGRET NOTHING!

…...

-"Alright, Korra what did you want to talk about?" Asked Wendy irritated. They were currently in a clearing right next to the Mystery Shack. Wendy was annoyed having not slept much last night due to the whole 'nearly getting killed by the homicidal elderly ghosts thing'.

Korra sighed. "Look Wendy...I wasn't going to say anything...but after what Dipper did last night...I feel like you should give him a chance-"

"What!?" Exclaimed Wendy in disbelief. Korra raised her hands in a placating way. "I'm just saying...He did risk his life and sacrifice his dignity to save you...Honestly, how many guys do you know who are willing to do that?"

Wendy flustered. "Well...just him...But that's not the point! He's 12! And I'm 15! It would never work! Name one person who could make an age gap like that work!"

Korra smiles "I'll do you one better...I'll name two."

...One epic retelling of the Ballad of Aang and Katara later...

"Whoa, these are their grand kids?" Asked Wendy amazed as she looked at the picture Korra gave her. Korra nods. "Wow...they do look happy." Admitted Wendy.

Korra smiled. "See? If two people really, truly, honestly love each other, there are no obstacles!"

Wendy frowned. "I...I just don't know Korra." Admitted a conflicted Wendy. Korra sighed. "Okay, how about this? Can we at least agree that you owe him for last night?"

Wendy hesitates...But nods. Korra nods. "So here's what I'm thinking:...If he ever gets up the nerve to ask you out...Repay him by giving him a chance...if it doesn't pan out; fine. Break it to him gently. But just give him that chance."

Wendy frowns...but nods. "Okay...I guess that seems fair. I'll do it"

It's not like it'll happen...at least for a long while... Thinks Wendy to herself as she and Korra leave the clearing...and so no one was there to witness when a little girl rolled out of a nearby bush and was desperately trying to stop herself from squealing in delight over what she just overheard...

…...

Dipper was working on something called a 'cone of silence' when the door was smashed off it's hinges by Mabel. She runs over and grabs him by his collar. "Dipper, don't ask why but you have to ask Wendy out right now!"

Dipper flustered. "Wait, what!?" Mabel groaned. "Look Dipper, I can't elaborate...I'm seriously breaching Girl code just by telling you what I have already! Just know if you ask Wendy out now...something good will happen!"

Dipper looked at her cautiously. "I don't know"... He admitted uncomfortably.

Mabel face palmed, then took a deep breath to calm herself. "Fine...if something good doesn't happen...I'll burn my sweaters!" She swore.

Dipper gasped. So this is serious! Exclaims Dipper to himself.

…...

Wendy was chilling at the register when Dipper showed up. "Hi Dipper, how you doing?" She asked in her best attempt to sound evenly.

Dipper blushed. He looked back at Mabel who gave him thumbs up. He then steeled himself. "I'm good...I'm great...Hey Wendy...you want to...do something later...just the two of us...possibly a dinner?" Rambled Dipper frantically.

Wendy turned scarlet. "You...mean like a date?" Dipper turns an even more crimson shade. "Yes." He admits Finally.

Wendy just looks at him for a bit...then nods. "Yes." Dipper sighs as he slumps depressed. "Alright, that's cool; I get it. I'm too young for you and-

And that's when what she actually said reached his brain. "Wait did you just say yes!?" He exclaims genuinely surprised.

Wendy and Korra winch at this. Is his self-esteem so bad he's genuinely surprised when something good happens to him? They can't help but think.

Ironically, this thought steels Wendy's resolve. "Yes I did...Look Dipper, I can't promise you anything serious...But your a great guy and one of the best friends I've ever had...So how about I give you a chance...and we see where things go from there, alright?"

Dipper still clearly shocked that this was actually happening to him, takes a moment to respond. "Wha? Oh, yeah. Sure. Sounds Great. Whatever your comfortable with...Could you excuse me for a minute?"

Dipper quickly walked over to Soos, asked to borrow the Cone of Silence, he walks over to the other side of the room and turns it on.

An energy cone appears around Dipper briefly...Before fizzling out-

-I CAN'T BELIEVE SHE SAID YES! THIS IS AWESOME! THIS IS THE BEST DAY EVER! WOO-HOO!

He then turns around and throws it to Soos. "Er, yes. Good job Soos, the prototype works great." Said Dipper in his best attempt to sound nonchalant.

"Uh, dude? You have to hold the button down for at least 10 seconds, otherwise it won't stay active." Said Soos awkwardly. While Wendy. Mabel, and Korra tried not to laugh.

Dipper looked at him blankly, then face palmed. He then takes a deep breath to calm himself. "You know what? It doesn't matter, this is still the best day ever by my standards-

CRACK!

Went the coconut that falls from the rafters onto Dippers head, Dipper falls flat on his face. "Still the best day ever." Everyone just looks at him in disbelief. He sighed. "I haven't had a great life." He admits before he succumbs to his concussion.

Yep, definitely made the right call there. Thought Wendy to herself as she and the others rushed to give him first aid...

…...

Meanwhile, many miles away...Blind Ivan ran for his life. While doing so, his mind raced. Where had things gone so wrong?

A couple months ago things were business as usual...Then one of their initiates spotted a strangely dressed man conversing with a gnome. Going by usual protocol, he zapped him and walked away without giving him a second thought...Then things started to fall apart.

Left and right Members of the Blind Eye Society began to disappear, their houses and hideouts looted and burned down by similarly dressed men.

Not sure how to respond to this, Ivan called all the remaining members together at their HQ...Sadly, this was apparently what their new enemy had been anticipating.

No sooner had their meeting started then they suddenly found the museum overrun and their forces overwhelmed.

Ivan was the only one to make it out alive, he'd been running non-stop for days. He was so tired and hungry, he looked around and saw an apple tree. A quick bite and I'll keep running. Thought Ivan...this would turn out to be his last mistake.

No sooner did he get to the tree than he found himself knocked over and shackled by two of the men that had been hunting him.

Amon looked at the man before him and shook his head in disbelief. "You had a device that could not only erase whatever memory you wanted AND show you said memories...And you only thought to use it as a therapy tool?" He says in disbelief.

Amon types Blind Eye Society, Blind Ivan, and Gravity Falls into the memory gun. He shakes again shakes his head in Disbelief as he points it at him. "Goodbye Ivan, you were not a worthy foe, and frankly you were without a doubt one of the dumbest people I've ever had the displeasure to meet-

ZAP!

The man formerly know as Ivan looked dazed and confused. "W-where am I?...Who are you?...Wait, who am I?"

Amon didn't even bother to respond. He just nodded to his henchmen who snapped his neck, killing him. Amon ordered the corpse to be looted and thrown into the incinerator.

He turns to one of his Lieutenants and hands him the memory tube. "Have our men look through it. Degraded as his mind was, their might still be something worth salvaging."

The man nods and leaves. Another one of his men comes up to him and salutes. "Sir, we've confirmed that the Avatar is here, although seemingly unaware of our presence. "What are your orders sir?"

Amon considers this. Then shakes his head. "Our priority is Republic City. We can't afford a two-front fight at this delicate stage. For now just have her and her friends watched; if you suspect that she's on to us...report to me immediately."

The man nods, then remembers something else. "Also sir...We believe the Pines boy to hold one of the 'authors' books." Amon contemplates this. "Interesting"...
