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.

"It looks like someone hit a buffalo repeatedly in the face with an ugly stick."

Eliot, that wasn't very nice.

"Maybe, but he can't help that," Mabel pointed out. "And now he's being friendly. If kind of gross. Maybe he just wanted to play, too."

How this girl had survived to see fourteen years of age was anybody's best guess.

Yeah, Eliot was giving her a bit of side-eye for that one. "How long you been on the island?"

She must be new.

"Brand new this summer!"

So, yes.

"Yep, that makes sense."

C'mon, Eliot.

"Basically it's a fifty-fifty shot if anything here is about to kill you."

"Oh, I've been to places like that before," Mabel replied, waving one dismissive hand. "The gremlins here are way less vicious than the gremloblin back at Gravity Falls. And I haven't had a single forest creature propose to me since I got here. Though I guess the wildebeest-toupee kind of came close with that lick..."

". . . Propose?"

That was a new one on Eliot.

"Gnomes," Mabel explained. "Never, ever go on a date with somebody unless you know for a fact that they're not really secretly a well-dressed pile of gnomes."

Vampires were probably still okay, though.

That was good. Eliot had dated a vampire or two.

"I'll keep that in mind, kid."
