Pen Pals and Doggie Disguises
[Scott’s first year of school had proven to be pretty darn exciting! He’d learned so many new things and made so many new friends! Some weren't even from his school, thanks to a cross-country pen pal project! He’d really won the good-luck lottery with that one. Scott had somehow been paired up with 7th grader in California! That was fairly interesting in itself, and his handwriting was good- but all it took was one mention of music for them to really hit it off. Do you listen to Babba? Have you heard of THIS band? I really love this song, and here’s a 3 page essay explaining why…
They kept up correspondence even after the project had ended. Their discussions immediately expanded into other things; good books, musicals and plays, their favorite television shows, their best subjects in school, what they wanted to grow up to be, etcetera and onward. They even started talking about their families (with a bit of careful wording on Scott’s side). He knew that it was a true friendship when they finally crossed the greatest of pen pal barriers- Sending. Each other. Photos!
But their messages started to grow a bit sparse as summer drew ever nearer. The last letter he got from Dipper mentioned that he would be staying with his great uncle (grunkle) in Oregon for the next few months. Scott’s response came a few weeks later, a hastily-written note in cursive.]
[It feels like ages for them to finally get there, and it's not just because of the 10 hour drive! While Leonard and his mother entertain themselves with the grand tour of the Mystery Shack, Scott excuses himself to go find his new pal. Dipper wasn't kidding about the place, it's just as much of a run-down tourist trap as he described! He cautiously peers into the gift shop and knocks on the wooden door frame.]
Y'ello? Anybody home? Is there a Dipper Pines here?

Dear Dipper Pines,
Good news! My family and I will be travelling on a grand road trip through this country’s 50 states! We’ll be heading your way
in a few days, and I’ve talked the others into letting me visit for a while! I’ll be seeing you soon! (The anticipation!)

no subject
Trust me, I don't think there's much out there that can top a talking dog.
[No matter what he's seen, that's still coming to him as quite a shock. He can't help but ask, though.]
S-so does that mean I should call you Spot now? ...or is Scott still ok?
no subject
Ach, no! As long as I'm dressed for the part, call me Scott. Dog or not, I'm still the same fella you've been in correspondence with all these months! Really, this species thing doesn't change anything!
...As long as you don't tell anyone.
no subject
Scott it is, then. And don't worry, I won't tell anyone. ...try to keep uh...my journal and what I told you a secret too, if you can. Not a lot of people believe what I do tell them, but I wouldn't want too many people knowing about my journal either.
no subject
You've got it! Scout's honor!
[He tilts his head, looking at the journal again.] Say, you wouldn't mind if I gave it a quick look-see, would you? I'm just a little curious...
no subject
[Dipper lifts the book and hands it over to Scott. After all the revelations they've both had today, he trusts that Scott will keep what he reads in the journal to himself. At the risk of causing any more confusion, who wouldn't?]
