[It's weird knowing that she left and came back to this place. Having memories from before but also having new memories from home when she woke up in an unfamiliar bed greeted by 'Mom'. It didn't take long for Mabel to put together what was going on, though, especially once she found herself bonked in the head by a very excited red Minior.

Once outside the house she'd immediately reached for her 'gear and her Pokeballs--

Only to find the latter empty.

Thus, the frown she's wearing as she comes over the network, eyes narrowed which just makes her look even more haggard despite the state she's already in.]

Two questions.

[She holds up a finger as Little Dipper be-bops around in the background.]

One, are my Grunkles and brother still here? And two--

[Another finger goes up and she squints even more as unicorn blood blue-green..something drips down one ear.]

Where are all my Pokemon?

Comments

[maybeitsmabelline]

Of course I will! They're stickers!!

[Any stickers are good stickers, Dipper!]

Wait. Wait wait wait! MAGIC stickers?? Does it work if you stick them on other things? Do they reappear on the page then?

[THIS CALLS FOR EXPERIMENTATION.]

Miss Bonnie wanted to come with me though. I didn't really steal her...but I'll make sure to avoid her. I'll head out to the next route and do some Pokemon hunting with Little Dipper!

[starry_forehead]

I'm not sure.....

[He has a feeling he's going to find out.]

Okay. Don't go too far. I need to duck in the town and find "Mom" for the scavenger hunt. Then we can track down your pokemon, plus you can do the scavenger hunt at the same time.

[Double scavenger hunt. Which reminds him....]

So....I'm guessing you just came from fighting that unicorns?

[There are some things you can forget, but a triumphant beat up, covered in sparkly blood, sister and friends plunking down unicorns hair in your face is not one of them.]

[maybeitsmabelline]

I'll let you know. Don't worry, Dipper! I'll solve this particular mystery!

[By covering her entire face if she has to. FOR SCIENCE.

Mabel puts on a serious face, which means cheeks puffed out as she nods with her eyes narrowed, taking in his instructions.]

Got it! I won't go far. Wouldn't want the Mystery Twins to be apart for too much longer!

[It's been too long already, even if she wasn't aware of it.]

Yep! They were such jerks! My first time meeting unicorns and they were so mean, Dipper!

[starry_forehead]

[Just smiling. He's really happy she's back.]

Oh, I know you will. And I'll be there soon.

[Sticker related mysteries are right up her alley.]

Yeah....well apparently according to both you and Grunkle Ford, they're jerks. So I'll take your word for it.

[maybeitsmabelline]

And I'll be waiting!

[And she's going to hug you so hard, Dipper!!!]

Oh they definitely are. The biggest and worst jerks!

[starry_forehead]

[He won't even pretend to be annoyed.]

You'll have to tell me about it when I get there. I'm just leaving Cherrygrove today, do you want me to grab you anything before I leave?

[maybeitsmabelline]

[GOOD.

Mabel looks thoughtful, tapping her chin.]

I don't--Oh! I'm going to need a new drawing pad! I need it so I can draw Newt pictures of things when she has questions about them!

[This was very important Dipper she has to have one.]

[starry_forehead]

A notebook. Got it.

[He was going to ask about the name but then remembered his own and is staying quiet.]

What kind of stuff are you drawing her?

[maybeitsmabelline]

Anything she doesn't know about! She grew up on a moon space colony and there's a lot of stuff she doesn't know about so I draw pictures of things to show her.

[Because that's what friends do.]

[starry_forehead]

[He really shouldn't be surprised at who Mabel befriends at this point.]

Wow, people come from all sorts of places.

Right, I'll get a spare notebook.

[maybeitsmabelline]

Yep!

Thank you, bro-bro!!
