Wendy answered the phone, and saw that the one calling was dipper. "Oh uh, hi Dipper" said Wendy nervously. "Hey Wendy, what do you say tomorrow to a game of chess?" asked Dipper. "Yeah okay, sure" said Wendy.
The following day, Wendy showed up at the mystery shack, despite the fact she wasn't scheduled to work that day. She met up with Dipper on the second floor, in the bedroom that he shared with Mabel. Dipper was sitting on his bed waiting, with the chess board sitting on the floor, already set up. "So, what color would you like to play?" asked Dipper. "I'm okay with playing black" said Wendy. The two sat down at opposite ends of the board, and the game began. Dipper started the game by placing his pawn in front of his king, two spaces forward. Wendy then moved her queen pawn two spaces forward. "Huh, Scandinavian defense, nobody that has played against me has done that before" thought Dipper.
Over the course of the game, pieces were taken off the board left and right. Toward the end of the game, Wendy only had a king and queen, while Dipper only had a king and knight. Dipper used his knight to put Wendy's king in check, forking both her king and queen. Wendy was forced to move her king out of the way. This allowed Dipper to take the queen, forcing the game into a stalemate. "I clearly underestimated you, never in all my time of playing chess, has someone been able to manage a draw with me" said Dipper. "Alright, now let's get to know each other a little better" said Wendy. "I'm sorry to disappoint, but i'm not a very entertaining person" said Dipper. "Back home, i'm the weirdo that nobody wants to hang out with." "Everyone mocks me because I believe in things that by all accounts, aren't supposed to exist." "What about you?" "I'm the only chick in a family full of dudes" said Wendy. "Most of my friends are guys, with only one of them being a girl." "I'm not like most other girls." "I don't really give a crap about makeup, glitter, you know, girly crap." "I actually prefer doing guy things like chopping down trees, arm wrestling, football, etc." "Dang, you are the exact opposite of most of the people i've met in my life" said Dipper.
A few days later, Stanford had a bunch of wax figurines of historical celebrities in front of the shack, and surprisingly, several people actually paid admission to see it. Unfortunately, things did not go entirely to plan. Everyone who attended was promised free pizza, but this turned out to be a lie. Stan took the admission money and ran, while the residents of the town began trashing the place. "I think that went well" said Mabel. "Oh and Dipper, there's something I probably should have mentioned, do not piss off my dad" said Wendy.
Authors note: I apologize for not having Dipper and Wendy interact that much so far. The reason for this, is that in the first few episodes, Wendy was more of a background character. Unfortunately, we still have two more chapters until we get to an episode where Wendy plays a major role. However, there is a small detail in the next episode that is only mentioned once, that will become a major plot point.
In chess, while it may seem like a bonehead move to give up a pawn immediately, the Scandinavian defense is actually one of the strongest counter moves that black can make. This move has been used by grand masters since the first ever documented chess game in the 1400's.
Thank you for reading and please have a great day.
