It wasn’t every day that one got magically aged up about ten or so years. And if it were to happen, one usually didn’t have any sort of plan as to how to deal with such an occurrence. There was no “in the case of a magical age up, break glass”. So, if something like that happened, it would be expected to be a bit alarmed.
The Pines twins were no exception.
Really, they shouldn’t have been surprised. Gravity Falls had been the source of stranger things. However, the two former kids still went into a silent panic. They couldn’t alert Stan of what had happened. They had to sneak outside. That seemed like a decent enough plan. It was early enough in the morning that very few were actually awake. They could reach the woods easily without being seen, and talk there.
They had gotten fairly lucky with their transformations. At least they awoke with fitting clothing. Dipper could only come to the conclusion that it might have been whatever their older selves were wearing at the time the aging occurred.
“But does that mean we swapped bodies? Did they suddenly wake up as 12 year olds?” He mused, before concluding that none of it made sense. The rest of the time was mainly spent pointing out all the changes between the two. Short hair, facial hair, piercings, muscles. It certainly wasn’t what either of them would have expected.
This early in the morning shouldn’t even exist, especially not for teenagers who spent the last night partying hard. But Wendy felt some inexplicable pull to go into the forest. Hadn’t her father always told her not to go into the forest alone? Despite the warnings, she couldn’t help but slip out of bed and march off into the dark, eerie forest.
When she first saw the Pines twins in the forest, Wendy thought it must have been part of her dream. They looked…older than her? They didn’t seem to notice her, which gave her a few moments to stop and scrutinize her friends from a distance. She felt as if she should quietly sneak away, but something was terribly wrong here.
"Guys?“ Her voice, still thick with sleep, cracked. Clearing her throat, Wendy stepped closer to the Pines kids—if they could still be called that—and peered at them out of sheer curiosity. "Dudes, what happened?”
“This town’s got, like, 200-300 people in it, right? Your brain can’t handle knowing each and every one personally. But hey, points for trying, dude.”
"Yeah, but still…Everyone seems to know everyone here, y'know? Like, I really thought I could put a name to every face in this town. That sounds kinda dumb, but it is what it is.“ Wendy punctuated her short ramble with a nonchalant shrug.
“Yeah, y’know I’d love to Go along with your plan ‘n all its jus’ I don’t really think that’s a good idea… Uh, no offence. ”
"Gids. This is a quality idea I’ve got going on here. We should totally see what that bright light in the forest is all about. C'mon, it could be fun!“
