Chapter Twenty-Four: A Night to Remember and the Start of New Things
"Nice night, huh?" Came a voice from behind Dipper and Wendy.
"Who's there?" Dipper asked turning around, not seeing anyone. Suddenly, someone tapped him on the back.
"What!" Dipper gasped.
"Hey there. You're new. You and your woman?" A catlike creature asked.
"You're one of the Zyltranaeir." Dipper said. The catlike woman laughed.
"Your accent is horrible! So rough and guttural! How do you humans not go crazy listening to that!" She laughed.
"It's just a California accent." Dipper shrugged."
"California… Is that one of your human states?" She asked.
"Yes." Dipper said.
"What brings you out here?"
"You're on our territory and you smell like the Black Hot Spring. Have you bathed in it?"
"You know we have. We were caught coming out of it by some of your people." Dipper said.
"Ahahaha! You must have entered in another tribe's territory. There are three entrances to those caves. One in Lysnuck Territory, one in Sultryn Territory and one in Trenvyk Territory.
"The caves are considered to be owned by no tribe since none of us want them. It's one of the few things we agree on. But you're deep in Sultryn Territory, almost in Trenvyk Territory. I recommend you go back where you came from. You don't want to mess with the Trenvyk. They're not friendly to outsiders, especially humans. I'll escort you back to… Where is it you come from?" The Sultryn asked.
"Gravity Falls." Wendy said.
"But we can't go back just yet. We're watching the stars. We're on a date." Dipper said.
"Hmmm… Well then, have fun, and don't blame me if you get dragged off and sacrificed by the Trenvyk." The woman said. Wendy and Dipper nodded, lying back down and looking at the stars again. Wendy kissed Dipper passionately.
"W-Wendy… I-out in the open?" Dipper breathed anxiously.
"What if someone's watching us?" He asked.
"What if they are? Don't you want to show them what a great lover you are?" Wendy smirked, running her hands up Dipper's strong sides.
"I'm still surprised at how strong you've gotten." Wendy said.
"You might even be stronger than me." Wendy said. Dipper laughed.
"I doubt I'm stronger than you. You've been doing physical training your whole life. I just started when I was 13-ish because I wanted to not be a burden when I came back." Dipper said.
Wendy laughed too, slapping Dipper on the back.
"Dude! You could never be a burden! I would have carried you myself if that's what it took to get us out of danger. You and Mabel were easily the best friends I've ever had." Wendy said. Dipper blushed slightly, smiling and leaning in to kiss Wendy. He still could hardly believe this was real. He could hardly believe that he was really dating Wendy.
Dipper looked up at the stars again. It was so clear tonight. The air was so clean and there were no clouds at all. Wendy teasingly stroked Dipper's chest, slowly unbuttoning his shirt.
"You ready, big guy?" She asked. Dipper nodded, kissing Wendy eagerly as she stroked his chest.
"You want to go all the way? I don't think anyone else will come across here. We are pretty isolated. I've come out here before and nobody but the occasional squirrel has come out." Wendy said.
Dippers hands trembled lightly as he unbuttoned Wendy's shirt. He still got nervous when he was about to have sex with her. They'd made love a few times, but he still got nervous and they'd never done it out in the open like this. Dipper kissed Wendy again, his lips moving lower. Wendy sighed happily.
"You're pretty good. You done this before?" She joked.
"Oh yeah. There's this redhead and this blondie I'm dating." Dipper chuckled.
"They're great. We've been together Biblically a few times." Wendy laughed at that.
"I thought you didn't believe in the Bible."
"Well, I don't. But after all the supernatural stuff I've seen, I'd be crazy not to believe in something." Dipper said, kissing Wendy's chest lightly, groping her breasts. Wendy laughed.
"You sure do like my boobs, don't you, Dipper?" Wendy asked. Dipper blushed heavily, nodding. Wendy smiled.
"Well, they're all yours." She said. Having her boobs groped didn't really do anything for her.
But it didn't really bother her if Dipper liked playing with them. She knew from experience that Dipper would do other things that she really did like. He kissed and touched her breasts, trying to find the spot on them that would make her moan. He sighed when he didn't find it and moved on, feeling a bit disappointed. He'd been led to believe, erroneously obviously that women liked having their breasts played with. Still he kissed her stomach lightly, and Wendy really did seem to like that. He felt her stretch lightly underneath him as his lips touched her stomach and let out a sigh.
"Mmmm… Dipper…" She breathed as he kissed and touched her stomach and sides.
"Ooh, yeah…" She whispered. He kept moving lower, biting around her bellybutton. He hoped that one day, he would bite there enough that it would leave a scar. He knew it was weird and possessive, but he wanted to mark her and Pacifica. Pacifica told him distinctly though never to bite her. He tried it with her and she actually slapped him. He hadn't meant to upset her and Pacifica apologized for overreacting, especially since less than ten seconds later, it was as if it never happened.
Wendy liked being a little rough in bed though. Dipper smiled as Wendy gasped, stroking his head more eagerly as he bit around her bellybutton again, this time biting deeper.
"O-okay, Dip… That might be a bit too hard." Wendy grunted lightly.
"Oh! Okay…" Dipper said. She'd made sure to tell him never to apologize during sex. It was no sin to make a mistake.
He continued kissing lower, moving down from her strong, toned abdomen to her thighs, kissing lightly the inside of them. He felt himself getting more and more turned on from the scent of her arousal. She chuckled slightly as she heard his nose working, sniffing deeply as he continued kissing her. Dipper was such a dork. But he was adorable and sweet as well. As she learned more about Dipper, she came to have more affection for him and now she couldn't imagine Gravity Falls without him and Mabel. Their annual visit had been for the last five years the highlight of her year.
She gasped as he bit the inside of her thigh. He hadn't meant to bite her. He just got carried away and he didn't notice until her leg jerked hard.
"S-sorry!" Dipper gasped, pulling away.
"N-no… I-… I liked it… Do it again…" Wendy breathed. Dipper nodded, biting her inner thigh again, running his tongue over the mark and slowly kissing inward toward her womanhood, kissing her, his grin widening as she actually squealed.
Wendy was normally so cool and composed that to hear her crying out and squealing like this seemed strange. But he kept going, eating her out, stroking her thighs as he brought her to her climax.
"Mmmmm! D-Dipper!" Wendy gasped as she came hard, gripping his head tightly.
"You-you… Ready to go all the way?" Dipper asked.
"J-just… Just give me a minute to come down." Wendy breathed, panting lightly. Dipper probably didn't know it about himself, but he was better than Wendy had expected him to be.
She would have to let him know later. Not right after they had sex. He might not believe it then. Pillow talk and all. Finally, she calmed down.
"Okay… I'm ready if you are." Wendy said. They'd gotten so into it that Dipper forgot to put on a condom, pushing into Wendy, grunting lightly as he kissed her passionately.
"M-mmm!" Dipper growled, groping her breasts again as he moved a bit rougher than he meant to. Wendy seemed to like it though and she gasped and moaned as he moved inside her.
"Y-yeah… Right there! Th-that's good!" Wendy gasped. Dipper grunted, thrusting harder. He felt Wendy's nails, short as they were, digging into his back, leaving long trails down it. They would heal quickly, but he loved how excited she was getting. He was feeling excited too. He kissed her again, panting in exertion as he felt his finish coming.
His thrusts got rougher and more erratic as he finally finished, grunting loudly as he climaxed inside her.
"W-whoa…!" Wendy groaned, arching her back as she expected to reach her climax. But Dipper had finished. She sighed.
"Little more work there, dude. Finish me off?" Wendy asked. Dipper had told her the second time they had sex (The first time, they were both too high to realize) that if she needed anything, to tell him. Dipper nodded, pulling out and kissing between her legs.
He didn't care for how his own semen tasted, but he continued licking and kissing until Wendy growled out her climax again.
"Th-thanks… Dude… You know, you could've just finished me with your fingers. You didn't have to eat me out again, specially with your spunk down there." She chuckled. Dipper laughed as well, spitting to the side and grabbing his water, gargling.
"It's fine. It was kind of exciting to do it out in nature like this." Dipper said.
They talked about, cuddling as they fell asleep.

"Hey, Ford! Sorry I'm late! We kind of fell asleep together out at the end of our hike!" Wendy said, rushing into work, putting on her name tag. She normally didn't really care about being a bit late, but she and Dipper had been out all night and she didn't know exactly how late she was.
"Oh, don't worry about it. Just get to the register. We have customers." Ford said. He was considering leaving the shop for good, moving out of state. He didn't know where he'd go. Just somewhere a little more intellectually stimulating than Gravity Falls, Oregon.
On the one hand, this was where he got his start, studying the supernatural and paranormal phenomena that affected the town. This was where he made his name as a researcher, where he reconciled with his twin brother, where Stan literally risked the stability of the very universe to bring him back. There were a lot of memories in Gravity Falls. But Ford hoped to move somewhere new and maybe actually retire. He'd made a name for himself in the multiverse as well.
He sighed.
"Dipper. I'd like to have a word with you. In private." Ford said calmly. They went to Ford's office, which he'd set up down in the basement. It was loaded on all walls with books. Bookshelves went up to the ceiling on every wall. Even the wall that had the door had some bookshelves on it and there was one in the middle of the floor as well that made the room look and feel very cramped. Ford swept some documents off the small two-person couch and Dipper sat down while Ford sat in a comfortable chair that he himself had created.
It altered itself based on the sitter's needs. It could heat up if it sensed the sitter was cold. It could produce cold if the sitter was overheating. It could even turn into a hoverchair and move out of the office with the sitter if it needed to. It really was an incredible invention.
"Dipper, I've been thinking. You're the next generation of supernatural and paranormal researcher I've been looking for. You've shown yourself to be qualified to be my successor beyond anything I could have expected of you. When I met you, you were exceptional and I knew it.
"I could tell how curious you were, how eager you were to prove yourself. The only thing that stood in your way back then was your own anxiety. Trust me, that's not an insult. I had anxiety too when I was 13. It happens, especially when you're different." He said, wiggling his sixth finger. "And even more so when you're gifted and feel alienated from your peers because of it. But in the studying you've done under me these past four weeks, you've proven yourself to be the successor I've been looking for. Someone I can pass on all my secrets, all my research, all my ambitions to.
"And hopefully, you'll use what I teach you and discover your own ambitions and projects. I don't want you to be a cookie cutter of me. I've lived my life. I've made my mistakes and I've discovered things that few people could even imagine, much less experience. But… Once I've finished your education… I'm going to retire. It could take ten years or longer to finish your education. I have much to teach you. But once I do, I'm retiring and I think I'm going to move somewhere else. I see the way you're looking at me Dipper, I understand your feelings.
"But I'd like to see more of this world. I've gotten to see other worlds, other universes even. Now I want to maybe travel the United States, see what I can see of our own country. My patent for bionic organs and Neurotech have been approved. I've been commissioned by the government for 500 million dollars to provide them bionic organs. I don't necessarily like what the government stands for sometimes. But I can't say that I've ever been too severely hindered by moral or ethical concerns. Just look at what I did for Raegan and his masters." Ford laughed. Dipper laughed as well.
"But don't worry, Dipper. We still have some time. And as long as you give me at least six hours a day let's say to focus on your studying, excluding Saturdays and Sundays, you can spend the rest of the time with your friends. Wendy needs to work in the store some of those hours anyway. Do we have an agreement?" Ford asked. Dipper hesitated for a moment, but then reached out and shook Ford's hand.
"Great. If you're up for it, we can continue your studying now." Ford said.
Dipper nodded again, going over to the break room with Ford and working with him on his studying.
