Chapter 7

*Dipper's POV*

"So, you're grandfather is going to go on expedtions with Stan and Ford now?" Wendy asked me. We had laid a blanket out on the roof hangout and we'd been laying there talking for the past while.

"Yeah," I replied. "It's cool isn't it?"

"Yeah, it's good that he's spending time with his brothers," she said, throwing a pinecone at the target on the totem pole. "Boosh!" I smiled at my older girlfriend. She smiled back.

"So, you want to head over to Greasy's?" I asked.

"Sure," Wendy replied, grabbing the top of a tree and using it to get down from the roof. I took one of Ford's magnet guns out of the inside pocket of my vest and used it to ease myself down the side of the building on the AC vent. "Nice."

"Thanks," I replied. I grabbed the handlebars of my bike, which I had teleported to Gravity Falls with me and, after putting on my helmet, the two of us biked over to Greasy's Diner. Going inside, Lazy Susan greeted us.

"So, Dipper, I heard you got yourself a teleporter," she said.

"Yeah," I replied. "Two, actually." I flashed her the microteleporter on my wrist.

"I see you got yourself a girlfriend, too," she teased, laughing.

"Yeah," I replied, rubbing at the back of my neck.

"Come on, dude!" Wendy called, gesturing for me to come over and sit with her. I went over and sat down across from her. "So, the other day, Tambry and Robbie were, like, making out in the hall and this teacher, Mrs. Gregory, she's really mean and stern, and I think she might be growing a mustache. So, she walks up and tells them to stop. So Robbie's all like, 'listen lady, she's my girlfriend, I can kiss her,' now, Robbie's suspended for two days." I laughed.

"It's just like Robbie to to that," I said.

"I wasn't there the whole time, but, according to Tambry, after that, Mrs. Gregory started going on about how if her husband didn't kiss her in public than no one should, which I think is ridiculous, then Robbie backtalked her and told her that if she shaved her lip once in a while he might," Wendy continued. We both burst into fits of laughter.

"So, are you two gonna order some food?" Lazy Susan asked.

*Mabel's POV*

Wendy and Dipper are out on a DATE! Like an actual date date! I'm so happy for them. I love love. Especially when I'm in love, or when my bro-bro has finally won over the girl of his dreams! Since Dipper has been spending his weekends with Wendy, I've been spending mine with Candy and Grenda. Since Mom and Dad know about the teleporters, too, now, they use them to help Soos bring in shipments of supplies for the Mystery Shack in from California. I'm pretty sure that's illegal, but, as Grunkle Stan says, "When there's no cops around, anything's legal!"

"Hey, Mabel!" Soos called. "Could you help me unpack these boxes?"

"Be right there!" I called back. Grenda, Candy and I had been playing, 'Who-can-drink-the-most-Mabel Juice-without-getting-sick Contest' so far Grenda was winning. But we took a break to go help Soos. We went out to the gift shop where Soos had a new shipment of merchandise. There were about nine crates. Grenda hrew her fist down on top of one of the crates, the sides of it fell to the ground, along with the pile of t-shirts inside the crate. Grenda took the lid off the piles of T-shirts, laying it against the vending machine.

"Woah, dude! How'd you do that?" Soos asked.

"Eh, instinct I guess," Grenda replied, before smashing the all but one of the crates, which contained snowglobes. That would've been messy. We were almost finished when Dipper and Wendy ran in and up the stairs laughing.

"I wonder what that was all about?" I asked my friends, suspiciously.

*Wendy's POV*

"So, I heard that this one is about Chadley and Trixandra's kid, Stefanella," I said. There was supposed to be a sequel to 'Nearly Almost Dead but not Quite' on today called 'Nearly Almost Dead but not Quite 2: Even Almost Deader', and there was no way we were gonna miss that. So we'd run up to Dipper and Mabel's attic bedroom, where Soos had installed a TV recently and turned it on so we didn't miss the beginning.

"Man, the names just keep getting worse," Dipper laughed. "Stefanella."

"This is gonna be good," I said. I looked at the clock and realized we had about five minutes before the movie actually started. I got an idea. I kissed Dipper for a moment before breaking away. Then I lay down on the bed to tease him. I knew he'd want to kiss me again. I just wasn't sure if he'd lie down to do so. He turned to look at me, a devilish smirk appeared on the thirteen-year-old's lips. He kissed me again, but now he was, like, on top of me. I wasn't expecting that from Dipper at all. "Who are you...and...what have you done with Dipper?" I asked between kisses.

"It's me," he replied. "and...isn't this...what you wanted?" I kissed him a few more times before breaking away.

"Yeah," I replied. "I just wasn't expecting that from you." Dipper blushed.

"Anyway, the movie's on," Dipper said, changing the subject. I pulled him down next to me and put my arm around him, pulling him closer. I think this school year could be okay after all.
