Summary: Stan and Dipper get het up about star-gazing. (Takes place during season 2A.)
Dipper gazed at the night sky, pen in one hand, star chart and booklight in the other. “Okay, that’s Andromeda, and there’s Lyra, but where’s Gemini? I’ve been looking for it for hours.”
“Sheesh, kid,” said Stan. “You got a checklist or something?”
“Well, astronomy is a good basis for the study of the paranormal. I figure if I’m ever gonna be as good as the Author, I need to start learning this now.”
At the mention of the Author, Stan pulled a face and groaned. “What, so you wanna be grow up to be just like some huge, dumb nerd?”
“Why do you keep making fun of me over this?” Dipper snapped. “It’s just something I want to do, okay?” He crossed his arms.
Stan held his hand up. “Alright, alright! I’m sorry. Forget I said anything, capishe?”
“And anyway,” Dipper continued, not paying any particular attention to Stan’s last remark, “the Author is not just some ‘dumb nerd’. He’s actually really cool and smart!”
Stan let out a snort-laugh, which he at least had the decency to turn into a cough.
Dipper gathered up his things and stood up. “Know what? If you’re gonna keep making fun of me I’m going back in--”
“Hey, wait!” cried Stan. “Don’t go yet!”
Dipper froze. “Why?”
In the pale light from the moon and stars, Stan looked oddly vulnerable. “Uh, I was wondering if you could put down your nerd junk and point out all those constellations and stars for me? Probably, probably better for your learning than just going by the star chart.”
This was an odd request, but it didn’t seem like a set-up for Stan making fun of Dipper. “Alright.” Dipper put his stuff in his backpack and sat down again. “So, like I said, that’s Andromeda, and that’s the Big Dipper, naturally, but I still can’t find Gemini.” He turned towards Stan. “Grunkle Stan, are you paying attention?”
“Uh, yeah,” said Stan.
“Well, your eyes are closed.”
“Oh.” Stan snapped his eyes open. It was funny, but Dipper caught the bearest hint of a smile on Stan’s face. “Go on.”
“We’re still trying to find Gemini,” said Dipper.
“Isn’t it the one by that dead tree there?” asked Stan.
“No, I think that’s Pisces,” said Dipper.
They argued about stars well into the night. Early next morning, Mabel woke up to find Stan and Dipper sleeping on the lawn, arms wrapped around each other.
