Fandom High Welcome Picnic, Front Lawn of the School, All Day: Part II

Picnic-ing in January - still not the best idea ever! But there were tables and chairs set up in the sun, and a nice bonfire going, and plenty of warm food for everyone to encourage socializing for as long as possible.

[OCD is up! This is the picnic post for general mingling. Roommates, fake siblings and teachers are all here. Since it's outside, the picnic is open to all students, teachers, and townies!]

Ringo sighed in relief. "No letting gnomes combine into a super-gnome." She nodded seriously. "I can probably manage that, at least."

"Hey," Ringo said, suddenly frowning thoughtfully, "are there any other safety tips you should make sure to tell me?" Ringo didn't want to get caught unprepared, after all!

"When it comes to gnomes?" Oh, Mabel had a list. "They hate loud-pitched noises, but really like squirrels, so I'd suggest being careful if you see a squirrel and a gnome talking. And between you and me, I don't think other forest creatures take them very seriously. It's actually kind of sad."

"Well, about gnomes, but other things I should look out for. I mean, I never even knew I needed a leaf blower."

Oooh. Poor Ringo. Mabel was going to have to sit down and have a long talk, wasn't she?

"Oh, sure, though I'm not sure how many more of the things I'm familiar with have come here, too. Fandom has gremlins, Gravity Falls has gremloblins. Ghosts kind of happen everywhere, and I really, really hope that little creepy pushy rich magic-using kids don't happen here..."

The less said about Gideon, the better.

Ringo blinked. It was sounding like they needed to sit down and have a long talk, yes.

"How come you know so much, Mabel?" Was it your inherent awesomeness, again?

"Life experience," Mabel replied, solemnly. "Lots and lots of life experience."

That was even actually true.

"Sounds like you've had a way more interesting life than me," Ringo sighed.

"Nah," Mabel replied, waving a dismissive hand. "Just one really, really interesting summer."

Half summer? Most of a summer? There were bits and pieces that she couldn't remember, still. Like the whole end of it. But that would come in time. She had faith.

"I wish I could have been there," Ringo sighed. Her most interesting had just involved one secret space elevator. So, you know, boring.

And probably if Mabel thought about it, she'd remember by the end of the year. Hopefully.

If Mabel thought really, really hard about it, she might start actually remembering by mid-February!

For some reason!

"Well, maybe I'll take you there to visit someday," she decided. "Gravity Falls is a pretty interesting place."

But who knew how long it would take her to remember everything. Apparently no one knew!

Ringo grinned. "That sounds fun!" she decided.

It was a myyyyystery! But that was okay. That was what the Mystery Twins were all about.

"Great! I bet Grunkle Stan would love to have us stay with him for a while in the Mystery Shack, and I can introduce you to my two best friends there, Candy and Grenda, and you'd really like Soos and Wendy, I think. Everybody there is super great!"

Except for the ones who weren't. But bah, Mabel wasn't talking about them.

"I should hope so! Maybe we can make a big group thing of it! Alluka could come too, and Lottie, and I guess Dipper..."

By virtue of Mabel and Dipper being practically inseparable, so of course he was going to have to come along.

"It'll be awesome!"

"Great!" Mabel was beaming right back. "I just need to figure out how to get back there, and then we'll be all set!"

Which was going to be tricky, but Mabel was an optimist. She'd figure it out.

"Well, you just let me know if there's anything I can do to help!" Because Ringo also liked being helpful!
