Wendip: Change is a Good Thing

Part 8: The Recoup

~~~~AN~~~~

I'm really sorry I waited until today to post this part. It was supposed to come out yesterday but when I got to my mom's I literally just crashed and woke up I kid you not 21 hours later. Either way! Here we go!

~~~~~~~~~~~

Dipper had just arrived at the bunker. The memories started flowing back as he snatched Mabel's grappling hook from her back pocket and snagged the fake tree limb, opening a passage to the spooky shelter. As he carried his sister down the staircase, Wen behind him flirting the entire way, he noticed nothing had changed.

*cue theme music*

Dip was a good friend, there was no denying that, and his actions that night proved it to a T. After he had gotten the girls into the basement, he quickly speed walked back to the golf cart to grab some towels and a couple bottles of water that were stored there. He made his way back inside with haste and lay the towels on the floor, taking off his coat so Mabel and Wendy could use it as a pillow.

"You guys should lie down" he instructed them, but then he noticed his sister was already out cold in the office chair. Which wasn't odd given she was completely wasted. Wendy did as instructed as moved her way over to the make-shift bed. However she took Dip by the hand and made him lie down with her "W-Wendy, I don't t-think this is a good idea". In response, she 'shh'ed him and put a finger to his lips. "Calm down Dippy" she giggled as she rolled over. The boy sighed to himself and hoped morning would come quickly.

* le time skip*

Wendy woke up the next morning unsure of her surroundings and completely hung over. She rolled over from where she was laying on the ground and noticed she was lying next to Dipper 'hmm, must've gotten me outta there last night'. Then she realized 'why the heck am I naked!'. Concerned, she tried to remember the events that took place last night. 'Please tell me I didn't do anything with Dip!'. He then rolled over, causing Wen to dip beneath the covers in panic as he shielded his eyes. "Are you still drunk?" he asked carefully, eyes still averted. Ignoring his question the girl had a more important one in mind "D-d-dipper, we didn't do anything last night did we?". That itself answered D's question. "No! of course not!" he sputtered. "Then why on the good green earth don't I have any clothes on!?"..." and where are we?!" she added.

Dippingsause explained how he had brought her to the bunker last night and informed her that he had no clue why she wasn't wearing anything. Just as he finished telling her all of this, Mabel woke up. "Dipdops, where are we?" she asked, holding her head trying to cope with her first hangover headache. "I'll let Wen tell you that, I'm going to wait outside so she can change" he blushed.

A few minutes later, with Wendy clothed and Mabel informed, Dipper went back in to clean up there stuff. Once he had, he led the girls outside and shoved the belongings in the back of the cart.

On the way to the shack Mabel's memories started flooding back "AUUUUGGHHH!!!!!!!" her brother nearly swerved of the road. "What!?" he asked , panicked and remembering that Bill could possibly return. "I- I THINK I MADE OUT WITH ROBBIE!" she screamed. "WHAT!" Dip and Wen asked at the same time. The boy had almost wrecked the cart the second he heard the news. Luckily he noticed that they had reached there destination.

Dipper went inside quickly, looking for his Grunkle. "Hey Stan!" "where were you two kiddos last night?" he said with a stern look that seemed to embed itself in his soul. Little did Stan know, however, that the twins (mostly Dip due to his sisters morals) had become skilled in the art of lying after having to convince there parents time and again that nothing out of the ordinary happened over the summer.

"Mabel and I ran into Wendy on our mystery hunt and ended up staying the night" he lied. Stan looked at him harder and made it so he was inches from his nephews face "'fine by me" he said as he walked over to the living room.

Meanwhile outside M and W were sitting on the porch discussing the night prior "wow! Robbie? I did not see that coming" Wen remarked after Mab recounted her story. "Neither did I, I didn't even think of him as a buddy, and now I guess we're smooch buddies?" she phrased it as a question.

Wendy sighed, she didn't know how to tell Mabel that what happened last night was nothing to worry about. Robbie was the type of guy who just went around kissing people and then ignoring them for the rest of his life. There was a word for that, but Wendy didn't swear around Mabel because she knew she found it offensive. "Look Mabel" the redhead started "you were drunk right?". "Yeah. I don't know how though, the only thing I drank was from the canteen Lee gave me".

Wendy cursed Lee under her breath and sighed "I'm sure that since both of you were wasted, most likely, that he won't even remember. I'm sure he had more to drink than you" she told her. "Well of course he did" Mabel responded matter-of-factly "I didn't have anything to drink". The older of the two chuckled to herself and decided to let the matter be.

-----AN-----

What did you think? I know it was a little bit short; I think I'm going to do a brief time skip before the next chapter and have it take place a few weeks after this one did. I feel like so far so much has happened in such a short span of time and I need to give Dipper and Mabel a little break before making their lives any more crazy.

I also noticed the last couple pf chapters had significantly less views than those previous. So please let me know what you guys disliked about them in the comments. It's really important to me to get feedback so that I can better swerve the story to your interest. Otherwise this is just a waste of time and I've been writing this only for myself, which was not my intention at all.
