[Video]

[The video coming on is somewhat accidental. Whoever is fumbling with it was clearly trying to get it out of wherever it was--a pocket? A bag?--and they must have flipped it on in the process. After a few seconds they manage to get it out of wherever it was stuck and the video goes a bit crazy as the ‘gear clatters to the ground.

A soft glow illuminates the room briefly as a Minior comes into view, the red little star Pokemon smiling dumbly at the screen before it’s suddenly grabbed--well, more like hugged, actually, as a little girl comes into view.]


Did it break, Little Dipper? Oh, hey, I think it’s recording--hi everyone that can see this!!

[Mabel grins and picks her ‘gear up with her free hand, her Minior currently tucked underneath her other arm and looking rather pleased about it.]

I’m Mabel and this is Little Dipper! Oh and this is my brother Dipper!

[Cue her turning the camera on her brother.]

Dipper say hi!

[There’s a boy in the background, with a Phantump floating next to him. They seem to be studying where they are. At least they were, before Dipper turns to see the gear pointed at him.]

Mabel! What are you doing? No one needs to see this!

Don’t be such a spoilsport, Dipper! It’s just a new adventure!

[Under her arm, Little Dipper thrummed though whether it was in agreement or just because he could was hard to say.]

Plus we can’t be the first people to end up here…

[By now it should be clear that they are in a jail cell. Dipper folds his arms]

For trying to steal an old ladies kittens? Or should I say, accessory to SOMEONE trying to make off with a bunch of kittens?

If you had helped we totally could have gotten away but noooo!

You shouldn’t have been doing it in the first place! Now we have to break out of jail! ...uh...ignore that last part people ….. I meant serve our time….

[Whispers to Mabel.]

I really think you should stop broadcasting this now….

[Insert a snort from Mabel as she turns the ‘gear back on herself properly and playfully rolls her eyes.]

Don’t mind him! He’s just nervous because the Jenny ladies said we have to stay here for a few days. Anyway, maybe someone out there watching knows how we can get out of here, Dipper! Did you ever think of that??

[Cue her sticking her tongue out as Little Dipper thrums again.]

Yeah and their advice is probably going to be, you got arrested, do your time.

[Meanwhile his own pokemon is examining the bars and lock. Dipper is just going to move to hide the pokemon from the view of the gear.]

Maybe, maybe not! Only one way to find out! [A pause as she looks over at them and narrows her eyes, slowly grinning.] What’s Crafty doing?

Uh...nothing...nothing...just um looking around! Right Crafty?

[The Phantump looks over and nods...very normal]

...You two are trying to break out aren’t you??

Mabel turn the gear off!

Oh you are so going to break us out of here! Go Crafty go! You can do it!

Mabel!

[There is a sudden child scramble for the gear and in the chaos it gets turned off.]



[ooc: replies will be from both Dipper and Mabel. Threadjacking is a possibility.]

[He makes an unhappy kind of eeeeh noise, and looks from Dipper to Mabel, back and forth, unsure, hesitating.]

We're not going to give up on you, McGucket.

[Dipper folds his arms.]

We know you're smart and we know you're a good person. Nothing you say is going to convince us otherwise. You're our friend. So we are going to help you.

[Aw horsefeathers.

It's a funny feeling, realizing there's people now who really, truly aren't going to give up on him. It's funny and tickly and warm, like rubbing your face in a nest of baby possums, but without any of the tiny claws or teeth.

He can't just keep on going like he has, Fiddleford realizes -- not now that Dipper and Mabel are here, and everything's out in the open. He could try, of course, but...

...but he can't bring himself to disappoint these kids. He's already disappointed everyone in his life once before. It's happening again, and he's going to have to do something about that.

The deep, mopey frown on McGucket's face turns into an impossibly bright smile.
]

Well, if you put it that way, I guess I don't have a choice! I gotta let you help!

[The knee-bouncing has stopped. McGucket reaches out to pull the two of them into a hug, wrapping one twin in each wiry, knobbly arm. He gives them a quick squeeze, then--

--oh dear, the Pidgeytron doesn't have an autopilot. The robot lurches, and McGucket quickly grabs at the controls to straighten out their flight path.
]

Sorry! Sorry. Better save the friendship-huggin' for when I ain't flyin' fifteen tons of sheet metal.

[Yes they did it! They're ...being hugged! Okay-


...no, no not okay! Dipper will stumble backwards as McGucket stops them from falling more.]


Yeah....yeah that sounds like a good plan.

[High-five for Mabel though.]

unless y'all have more to ask him, we can timeskip to Goldenrod!

[They believed in him when nobody else did. How can he let them down after that?]

Well, go on, make yourselves at home. You better get comfortable -- even with this tailwind, it's a three and a half hour flight back to Goldenrod City!

[It's going to be nearly sunset by the time they get there.]
