Summer with the Pine Twins

Land Before Swine: Part 6

Dipper's p.o.v.

"Dude look. I-I know I've messed up a lot, I can be sorta clumsy and it's not always as loveable as I think. But please, as my friend just trust me on this one," Soos cuts me off, placing his hand on my shoulder. A worried expression stays on my face as I look from Soos to the baby Pyteradactl and back at Soos again who was smiling at me.

I give him a smile and nod. "Get behind me dudes," He instructs and the three of us line up behind him before we sneak around the dinosaur. Suddenly it starts to look at us and we move into a straight line as the dinosaur chirps in confusion, turning its head from one side of the tracks to the other. "It's working..." Mabel mumbles as we make it across the pterodactyl turning its attention back into the nest. 

We hide behind the rocks and sigh in relief. "Soos, you did it!" I congratulate Soos when we hear the mother let out a shriek. Looking up into the sky we see Grunkle Stan riding the dinosaur...Punching it in the face. "Is that...?" (y/n) starts to question in astonishment when Mabel asks "Stan?!" We watch as he continues to punch the pterodactyl, Waddles hooked to him from the Huggy Wuvvy, my sister shouting in glee "Waddles!"  "He's punching him in the face!" I exclaim as we all cheer Grunkle Stan on. "From Ex's Heart, I stabeth thee!" He shows, hitting the top of the dinosaur's head, causing him to crash into the foundation as Stan hops off and we help him up.

Grunkle Stan turns to Mabel who's smiling at him as he hands her Waddles. "Here's your pig kiddo." "Waddles!" She shouts again, rubbing her face against his. "You saved him for me," She says as Stan is handed his fez back by (y/n) before she hugs him. He embraces the hug quickly before addressing Mabel and I feel slightly jealous. I want a (y/n) hug. "Yeah well, sometimes you just gotta- LOOK OUT!" He shouts as the pterodactyl starts to climb up. 

We start running through the cave and I slowly started to fall behind, my vest soon being bit as I'm dragged back. Stopping in her tracks (y/n) turns around and grabs by my hand, pulling me with her. "Let him go!!" She shouts when my vest rips and we start running again.

Entering the room we had entered when we first came down here we were quickly reminded that the rope had snapped and was now too short to reach. "We're trapped!" "Quick! The geyser can shoot us back up!" (y/n) shouts after watching the geyser shoot a rock up. We all hop into the geyser and watch in fear as the dinosaur flew closer. "Come on, come on! Go! Go!" I tried to will the geyser to start when Soos slams his fists onto the geyser shouting "BROS BEFORE DINOS!" The geyser explodes as we shoot up, blasting through the abandoned church's roof before falling and landing wherever. Once we all make ourselves known the building starts to collapse in on itself.

Mabel's p.o.v.

We watch the rest of the building collapse before I address Stan with a smile. "I can't believe you did all that for Waddles." "Ah well, I can't have my favorite niece not talking to me and if I got leap onto a pterodactyl and punch him in the face, then that's what I gotta do," He tells me while leaning one hand into a spot filled with sap on a tree and I smirk, telling him a pun. "That's kinda sappy," I cross my arms as Grunkle Stan tries to defend himself.

"What? That's how I feel." "No, I mean," I point at his hand and he sees the sap, pulling his hand out of it, though it was covered in sap. "Oh yeah...Gotcha!" He shoves his sap-covered hand in my face and we start to laugh. That is until we realized he couldn't pull his hand back and we started to scream. (y/n) soon comes over wipes, setting us free as we all pile into Soos's truck and on the way home, me, Grunkle Stan, and Waddles fall asleep cuddling next to each other.

Dipper's p.o.v.

After (y/n) helped Grunkle Stan and Mabel with the sap, Soos started to pack our stuff up when (y/n) approached me. "You alright Dipper?" She asks and I nod, stating "Just a little shaken up is all." "No injuries of any sort?" She asks, checking my arms and face for any cuts or bruises. "N-No I don't think so," I stutter out, my face heating up. "And your back?" She asks and I glance back telling her "I don't know, it doesn't hurt if that's what you mean..." "U-um..." She trails off and I look to see her face redden as she stutters "Do...Do you mind if I check your b-back? You know, make sure there aren't any injuries of sorts?" 

"S-sure," I tell her, nervously taking off my vest and lifting my shirt up for me, my blush starting to darken. "It looks fine but j-just to make sure..." I feel her hesitantly place her hand on my back. I take a slow unsteady breath as I feel her soft warm fingertips touch my back before her palm rests on it, soon moving in all directions as she asks. "D-does it hurt anywhere?" N-no." "That's good, can't say the same for your vest though, that thing destroyed it," I look down at it, you could see the fabric spill out a bit. "Oh well, I've got more but thanks (y/n)..." I start to thank her, turning my head toward her but stop when I notice how close to her face I actually was. "You're welcome..." She trails off as well, she seemed to be stuck under the same spell I was under. "GET A ROOM AND JUST KISS YOU TWO!" Grunkle Stan suddenly shouts, breaking us both out of our trance and we take notice of each other's red faces and we quickly look away, my face is burning! What was that? If Grunkle Stan hadn't interrupted us would we have- "Let's go home already! Get in the car Dipper!"

My sister shouts, dragging me out of my thoughts and I get in Soos's truck. Grunkle Stan, Mabel, and Waddles were asleep in the back, while Soos, (y/n), and I were sitting up front, though (y/n) had fallen asleep too and her head was resting on my shoulder, not that I mind. I lift up my vest gently, so as not to wake (y/n) as I survey the damage, soon commenting "(y/n) was right that thing destroyed my vest..." I feel something fall into my lap. When I look down, my eyes widen as I pick up a tooth! "Soos! Look!" I exclaim, earning his attention. "A real dinosaur tooth? That's awesome!" 

"Not as awesome as you saving us back there. Pyteradactl bros?" I offer my fist for a fist bump as I compliment him and he fist bumps me. "Pyteradactl bros. Hey, I pronounced it right that time." "Think we'll need to worry about the rest of those dinosaurs?" I ask, Soos soon shaking his head. "I doubt it," I let out a yawn as the adrenaline finally starts to wear down. Tiredly I rest my head over (y/n)'s with a smile when she cuddles closer to me and I doze off.

Grunkle Stan's p.o.v.

We were all hanging out in the living room, (y/n), Mabel, Waddles, and I were playing poker at the table while Soos and Dipper watched tv. "Hi! I'm Bobby Mezonni, are your arms jealous of your legs? Then you need arm pants, they're pants that you wear on your arms!" The latest commercial played, causing Dipper to ask "Yeesh, who actually buys this infomercial stuff?" I eye Soos as he jokes with Dipper about it before making a call on the phone. My attention turns back to Waddles and he snorts and I shout "Snorting! That's his tell! I fold!" I slam my cards on the table. "Tuff luck sucker, Waddles was bluffing," Mabel breaks me the news.

"What?! I had four aces! That pig is a wizard..." I trail off as Waddles starts eating the cards and I glare at him. "Look at him, he's taunting me." "I've been cheating the last eight turns," Mabel tells me, and (y/n) raises an eyebrow asking "Just eight? I've been doing it for the last twelve,
 I laugh and can't help but smile at my two favorite girls as I praise them. "That's my girls!"
