'Here I am, a junior in college. I should be having the time of my life. But no, I'm bandaging up two of my best friends after an incident at a lame party. And the worst part of it is I was the one to insist on going to it.

Maybe I should give a little bit of a backstory. Wendy and I have been best friends since we were kids, always getting into some sort of trouble. The summer after she turned fifteen she met a kid named Dipper and his twin sister. The two of them became practically inseparable that summer, while I ended up dating a emo musician. Surprisingly that relationship lasted through high school, until he didn't want me to go to college. All because his band had a tour set up and he expected me to drop everything and go with him. That caused yet another argument and I had enough. I dumped him, only to find out he was sleeping with his drummer behind my back.

While my relationship ended, Wendy and Dipper's heated up. They never officially started dating that summer, but I did stumble upon a few make out sessions. And how you may ask, well it's because I became their 'official' camerawoman of their various adventures that summer. Stopping a turf war between the gnomes and the pixies, educating the Manotaurs about the use of deodorant, etc. Fun stuff. Though stumbling onto them was an adventure in and of itself. You could tell they loved each other and I have to admit I was jealous.

Wendy decided to stay at home and get some community college credits, so my freshman year I went solo. I made some friends, but I missed my two best friends. We stayed in contact and that following summer I joined them again on their adventures. By then they had started "officially" dating and half the time I felt like a third wheel.

It didn't help that they are both so damn cute. I mean sure Dipper is still the same geek he was that first summer, but he apparently joined the track team after that first summer. Let me tell you, it and puberty did wonders for him. All that running has given him the second tightest, little tush I have ever seen. And Wendy is just Wendy. I think it's a law in Gravity Falls that you have to have a crush on her at some time between the ages 15 and 21. Remember how I said Dipper had the second tightest tush, that's cause Wendy has the first. There was times I had to force myself to keep the camera above the waist when we would go exploring or the videos would just be of them walking. And believe me, it wasn't easy.

To get my mind off of them, I tried going on a blind date. But in a small town like ours, my "blind date" turned out to be someone I've known since second grade. He was about as conceited as Pacifica used to be, all because his family owned two businesses in town. And those were the mattress shop and the mini golf course. To top it off his parents named him Prince, cause he was going to rule over their kingdom. Who does that?

Anyway, back to the story. That fall Wendy joined me at Riverbank University. We roomed together, but since she was studying forestry and I was studying for my telecommunications degree we only had one class together. Near the end of first semester Dipper began coming up once a month, supposedly to check out the school. But after the first trip it was easy to tell he was just visiting Wendy. I always tried to beg out while he was there but he would insist that we all try to do something together while he was there, even if it was just get lunch. And he would always insist on paying. Despite both of our protests, he was always a gentleman. Holding doors, pulling out seats, etc. It wasn't long till I felt myself getting jealous again and I still didn't know over which one. I really wondered if I had fallen in love with both my best friend and her boyfriend.

It drove me crazy, but I didn't fight seeing him when he visited. And other than giving them their alone time, we would all hang out when he would visit.

That following summer I tried to stay away from them, worried that I would say or do something that would hurt the two most important people in my life. But they would hear nothing of it.

"Where would we be without our camerawoman.", Wendy had said as they both tossed an arm around my shoulders and off we went on another adventure. I think I spent more of my summer with them and his family than I did my own.

This year is Dipper's freshman year and thanks to scholarships, grants, and a couple patents Mr. Ford put in his name, he was able to get a three bedroom apartment on campus. I begged off at first, but it is free room and board. And it ended up being a good thing. Thanks to his senior year of high school being pretty much all AP classes, we had two classes together; videography and film editing. That's where this story begins.'

Tambry sat back and reread the Virtual Diary entry she just wrote and thought back to what had happened earlier in the night.
