fandomhigh | Outdoor Adventure Time!, Tuesday, period 1

The class met up at the edge of the preserve again, this time, where Eliot and Parker waited, wearing white coveralls and safety goggles on their heads. The usual duffel bags of supplies were on the ground by their feet, and accompanied by several large buckets of what looked like balloons.

"Slightly different plan today," Eliot said, when it seemed like everyone was gathered. "We're sticking together as a group."

“If you don’t want to play, you can hide, but really, why would you want to?” Parker would never get that. “Everybody gets a set of coveralls, and goggles. The paint is biodegradable, but let’s not test what it does to your eyes.”

"It does wash outta your hair, though," Eliot said with a wink. "I promise."

What? Those folks with fancy hair had to stick together.

"We'll be hiking out to a clearing before we get started. There are four buckets of paint balloons here, with a few more already tucked away out there, so lots of chances to re-arm yourselves. I guess . . . technically if you come out clean by the end of class you won? But then you probably also didn't have any fun. We're not really plannin' to keep score."

“Grab a color, grab a cover, get ready, go!” Parker was holding a balloon with blue paint.

Yes, Eliot was going to be blue very very soon.

Yeah, he was getting that feeling.

"When we get to the clearing," Eliot said. "I see any balloons flying before then, I will be very put out."

Pbbbbbbttt.

Rope? Dipper was supposed to bring rope to class? This was not a requirement!

Luckily for Eliot a light bulb went on above Dipper's head. Not literally of course.

"Mabel!" he said shouting to his sister who was up in her tree perch at that moment. "Grappling hook!"

And then ~~with modding permission granted~~ her grappling hook came sailing into the air into Dipper's hands. He released the catch on the grappling hook gun and pulled out a length of cable attached to the hook. He swung the grappling hook in a circle before tossing it in Eliot's direction.

"Incoming!"

Eliot could probably take it from there.

Well, that was why he'd asked. Dipper and Mabel were totally getting bonus points for preparedness and quick thinking, though.

Eliot caught the grappling hook with one hand, still gripping the alot's fur at the base of its neck with the other. "Thanks!" He looked from the hook to the trailing cord, then at the alot's head.

And smacked the alot in the head with the nice, weighted metal hook. Which mostly just pissed the alot off more, but hey, it was worth a shot.

"Awesome!" Dipper shouted.

Only to be followed by a "Whoa!" and then a "What?!" and then an "AAAAAAAAAAAAH!"

Turns out the rope got tangled around Dipper's leg and he was being dragged around.

A lot.

"Wha --" Dammit, hadn't this kid just been safely in a tree? "Dammit, Dipper!" Eliot yanked at the grappling hook, but it was too well made for him to take the hook off the cord fast enough to keep the kid from getting dragged into a tree or something. He sighed and tossed the hook -- well away from Dipper -- and tried to steer the alot in the other direction.

If a student got trampled on his watch, it would look so bad.
