So... This is my first Gravity Falls fic and I am super excited. I'm a hardcore Wendip and Dipcifica shipper (kinda weird but the truth) and am obsessed with the fandom. Hope you enjoy my attempt!

DISCLAIMER: I don't own Gravity Falls.

Btw-

Right now, Weirdmageddon 3 has not aired yet, so this is before the finale. Actually, I'm just going to make it where no one died/dies, and Weirdmageddon never happened.

Chapter 1- We're Back Home

Wendy's POV

"Thanks for visiting the Mystery Shack..."

First day of summer and I am bored as hell. Every summer has been boring since they left, six years ago. Dipper and Mabel were the coolest kids I've ever met, and I miss them every day. Every time I go to work, I'm reminded of them. When I sit behind the register, I think of when Mabel was boss for three days and how we only made $1. When I attend the fair, I remember when Dipper won me that Panda-Duck, but gave me a black eye in the process, and I was actually dumb enough to go out with Robbie.

"Hey, Soos?" I asked the handyman.

"Yeah, Wendy?"

"I really miss Dipper and Mabel..." He stopped sweeping.

"I miss them too, dude..."

One of the most painful reminders is every time I sit on the roof, I can hear them chanting "Roof time! Roof time!" and see them chucking rocks and nuts at the target. I climbed up the ladder and sat in the chair. I grabbed a rock and chucked it at the totem and nailed the target. I sighed and closed my eyes. Man, do I wish they were here. They always brought a smile to my face.

I stared at the horizon, the trees rustling in the wind, and birds chirping. An outline of a car, no, a bus came into view. Great. Another tour group. The bus parked and I began to head down, when two teenagers stepped out of the bus. They turned around and my jaw dropped. A tall lean boy wearing a navy vest, orange shirt, and blue and white hat with a pine tree on it stared up at my hangout spot.

"WENDY!" He shouted, waving his hands.

I leaped off the roof onto a tree and slid down. I ran up and squeezed him in a huge hug. "Dipper, it really is you!"

I hugged the girl standing beside him. She wore a pink sweater with a very familiar pig on the front. Underneath, it read "Waddles". That pig was gone, but a new pig that looked exactly liked Waddles, except smaller, stood beside her feet. Her braces were gone and she still wore a pink headband. "Mabel! Man, you guys have no idea how much I've missed you."

"We missed you too, Wendy." Dip said.

"Yeah, Dipper cried about y-..." Mabel started. Dipper covered her mouth before she could finish.

"Mabel!" She just laughed.

"So, 18 now, huh? You guys really grew up. Especially you, Dip. Look how tall you are! What are you? 6'1?"

He laughed. "6'0 exactly."

"How about you Mabel, I mean you're about my height now! I mean, I'm 5'8."

"Than I'm right behind you at 5'7!"

Dip looked around him, soaking in his surroundings. "Ahh… It feels so good to be back and not have to worry about anything!"

"Yeah!"

"Hey, you know, I actually left my job here for one summer, but couldn't take it. I'm just too attached to this place."

"Well, we're glad you stayed!"

They greeted Stan, Ford, and Soos.

None of them looked surprised.

"Wait a minute, you all new! Yet you didn't bother to tell me!?"

Soos laughed. "Well, we figured since you missed them so much it be a surprise. It was Mr. Pines's idea."

"Soos, I told you to call me Stan, or Mr. Stan if you can't help it. There are two Mr. Pines's!"

"Sorry, Mr. Stan."

They unpacked their stuff into the attic and I helped them hang stuff up and place things in drawers. Dipper placed the third journal on the desk and a brand new blue and white journal.

"Plan on mystery-hunting, Dip?"

"Yup! I figured Great Uncle Ford would need another journal, so I brought one of my own this time."

Mabel hung up pictures of her and Waddles six years ago.

"What happened to Waddles?" I asked.

Mabel calmly said, "Waddles met another pig, grew old, and passed, but not before leaving behind Waddles Jr!"

The pig looked up at me and I pat its head. "Hello, Waddles Jr!"

"Oink!"

Once they were (for the most part) settled in, we head to the roof. They did their satisfying chant, and I couldn't contain my smile.

I sat on the ledge while Mabel and Dip sat right behind in the chairs. We each took turns chucking rocks at the target, catching up on everything. I told them about when they left, Robbie kept trying to win me back and how pissed I still am at him. They said back home, whenever someone tried to bully Dipper about his forehead, he had his hat to conceal it. Mabel said high school was very similar to my description, and how nice it was to suffer together instead of alone.

"Heh, you know, I'm really glad Blendin lent you his time travel device to prevent Bill from unleashing the rift. I feel like Weirdmageddon would've been crazy. Like Bill probably would've appointed Gideon to work for him or something."

"You got that right, Wendy." Dipper said.

"That was the best favor ever given in the history of time!" Mabel through her arms up in the air.

"So, Wendy, do you have a place of your own, or are you still with your dad and brothers?" Dipper asked.

"Pssh, I left the first chance I got! There is no way I could've dealt with them any longer. Now, I have my own little house on the edge of town. It's got a patio and porch, and has two bedrooms. I've also dedicated a whole wall to photos of summer. The only ones I've got are from the last time you were here. And a couple photos of the gang, but that's it. It's more than I need, and it gets a bit lonely from time to time. But it's my own place, and at least I don't have to worry about my bros terrorizing me."

"When did the whole "Robbie and Tambry" thing blow off?" Dipper asked.

"When Robbie went on a road trip with his band and cheated on her. Nate and I are the only ones who know Tambry was and is going out with Lee during and after Robbie's road trip. It's messed up and hilarious that Robbie is clueless."

We stayed on the roof for so long, the sun began to sink beneath the horizon after what felt like only an hour. I saw the sun and it brought back memories of the day they left.

I sighed. "I really don't want you guys to leave again... Life when you left wasn't the same... Except, I hope you guys return next summer."

"I guess they really didn't tell you anything," Dipper said, surprised.

I was super confused. "What?"

Dipper nodded at Mabel and she said, "Wendy, we aren't coming back next summer..."

Now, I was super bummed, and my head dropped to the floor. "Oh..."

The both said in unison, "We're moving in!"

Mabel explained, "Dipper accepted Great Uncle Ford's apprenticeship offer, and I decided to come with him and help Grunkle Stan with the Shack!"

"That's why I brought a blue and white journal, and not a red one; so I can practice logging all of the secrets of Gravity Falls!"

I leaped up. "Seriously!? You guys aren't going back home after summer?"

They nodded excitedly. "This is our home."

I pulled them into a huge hug.

"This calls for a celebration!" I tossed them each a can of Pitt Cola.

"Cheers to your new life in Gravity Falls!"
