Who: The Pines Family, Soos Ramirez, and YOU

Where: Cherrygrove City

When: August 31

Summary: Dipper and Mabel reunite with their Grunkle Ford as they celebrate their technical 14th birthday

Rating: Probably PG at the worst?

Log:

[Birthdays are important to some people. Especially when you've shared every single birthday with one other person for as long as you both can remember. That's why Soos has spent approximately all his remaining Pokédollars on a slightly-temporally-questionable party for Dipper and Mabel.]

[Set up on the beaches of Cherrygrove are a few cheap tables of food - sheet pizza and chips and trays of that salad nobody really likes, and Pecha Pit Cola, and later in the day, of course, a cake. More notable is the rented PokéPetting Zoo, featuring a large pen of rideable Skiddo, with smaller pens of Buneary, Tepig, Swinub, a few Seel, one Snorlax pulling double duty as a trampoline bean-bag chair, and, perhaps regrettably, a small swarm of Drifloon.]

[There haven't been invitations or anything, but the beach is hardly a private area, and the more the merrier, right?]

oh no worries, three days is hardly late!

I think you're right, Mabel.

[Sure, Ford is a lot closer to Dipper intellectually, but Mabel is family. They have that Pines bond, and that's a start -- and now that they're on a journey together, there's time to get to know each other without the threat of the end of the world (or his own stubbornness) getting in the way.]

And I think it's very fitting that it's beginning with your birthday, considering how the last one ended. Speaking of which, I wasn't able to get you a proper present, but I thought you might enjoy this --

[He pulls another pokeball out of his coat. Out of it pops a Pineco, which wobbles slightly as it blinks up at Mabel.]

I picked this young lady up on the way here and haven't had the faintest idea what to name her. I think I'd like it if you did the honors.

[He is well-aware that he is effectively saddling this Pineco with a ridiculous name. It's for Family, okay. He has a lot of lost time to make up for.]
meowbel: (Hey U)

Still!

[When Mabel saw the Pineco before her, she wasted no time in picking up said Pokemon and giving her the biggest hug she could muster up! While she wasn't quite as close to Ford as she was to Stan, that didn't stop her from feeling the affection he had for her!

Especially when he got her a pine shaped looking Pokemon out of all things!]


You really shouldn't have, Grunkle Ford! Thank you so much, I'm going to make sure that I take care of her no matter what! But let's see, what to name her...

[She said before thinking of something. While she had Princess Fluffball and King Charlie the 8th, it was only fitting that she continue with that theme! And thus...!]

Oh, I know! I'll name her Queen Julia Fiona Victoria! [....Yup]

[Yeah, that's about what he expected.]

That's... certainly a name. It's very you.

[See? He's trying, in his own Ford Pines way. He hands her the pokeball; Queen Julia Fiona Victoria is now officially on Mabel Pines' team!]

I have actually been having trouble deciding on a name for my own Pineco, but you've given me an idea.

[It's just best to roll with it, Ford. There are times when you shouldn't question Mabel.

But with the pokeball in her hand, she just couldn't stop screaming! In fact, she was holding onto her new Pokemon even tighter! Sure, the Pineco wasn't not too happy but if it meant it'll please her new owner...]


Oh yeah? What are you going to name it? Oh, oh! I bet it's something royality related isn't it? You can't ever go wrong with naming things after a Princess, you know!

[/cough cough hint hint wink wink!]

[At least the Pineco is being gracious about the whole thing. She'll settle in quickly enough, probably...]

It is! Royalty-related, that is. Since Pineco is a Bug type, I thought a fitting name might be Titania.

[Does Mabel know her Shakespeare? Doesn't matter, he's going to explain either way.]

As most legends tell it, that's the name of the queen of the fairies.

[Meanwhile, here Mabel was giving her great uncle a rather odd look. While she might not be familiar with Shakespeare's work (Well, outside of Romeo and Juliet), that didn't stop her from giving a smile shortly afterwards!]

Really? Well, that's not fair! Maybe I should name Queen Julia Fiona Victoria that too! I know I want her to be queen of the fairies too!

[All the while her poor Pineco couldn't help but give a sigh. Looks like she'll have to deal with her rather eccentric Pokemon Trainer, all right]
meteorman: (8 | all the places you anoint)

[At least Mabel gets points for enthusiasm and genuine good-will?]

Ah, well. The fair folk are very capricious, particularly those of royal blood. I don't see why they couldn't simply decide to have multiple queens. That's exactly the sort of thing they'd do.

[He's not even joking, either. He's dealt with fairies and the higher up the totem pole you climb the smarter and sillier they get. Dealing with fairy royalty is almost as exasperating as talking to unicorns.]

[personal profile] meowbel 2016-09-21 02:41 am (UTC)(link)
So that means there can be two queens? You know what that means right?

[And then , if it were possible, there were sparkles in her eyes! With a loud squeal, she knew what she had to do!]

We need to have the queens meet at once! They have a lot to discuss about royals and a bunch of really fancy words that I don't really understand!

[Granted, there were a lot of things Mabel didn't really know when it came to talks about this sort of thing. HOWEVER, that doesn't mean she can't imagine how it might go!]

[personal profile] meteorman 2016-09-24 04:05 am (UTC)(link)
You know, I think you're right. Titania probably would like some time outside of her ball anyway.

[She can meet all these very nice and not at all creepy Drifloon! He retrieves another Pokeball from his coat and out pops another Pineco. She's perhaps a little larger than Mabel's, but functionally they're identical.]
meowbel: (Bonamama)

[personal profile] meowbel 2016-09-27 01:38 am (UTC)(link)
[With that, Mabel couldn't help but raise an eyebrow or two at the Pokemon before her.]

Whoa, how many of those do you even have? It sounds like you must have a huge army of pine cones thingies coming right after you!

[Because why else would he have that many Pinecos anyway? Maybe he was planning to take over the world under the name Pines?!]
meteorman: (5 | they draw an altar on which)

[personal profile] meteorman 2016-09-28 03:59 am (UTC)(link)
Ah, well.

[He puts a hand to the back of his neck, a little sheepish.]

As it turns out, if you disturb their tree -- say, by climbing it -- they have a habit of dropping down on you and, ah. Exploding. I met quite a few that way.
meowbel: (Talk of Dreams)

[personal profile] meowbel 2016-09-29 01:27 am (UTC)(link)
Oh.

[Then there was a two second awkward pause before...!]

Well, at least you can say that you had a blast meeting all of them right? [AHAHAHAHAHa...ha...ha....haaaa....]

But seriously, were you okay though? Because I still don't want any mean ol' Pokemon bullying you!
meteorman: (2 | in hands of men)

[personal profile] meteorman 2016-10-01 08:21 am (UTC)(link)
[He lets out a quiet heh.]

I'm perfectly fine, Mabel. It was just an automatic defense mechanism, isn't that right, Titania?

[Titania swivels around on her point and blinks up at him inscrutably. He pats her lightly on the top of her... head? Body? She basically is just a head...]
meowbel: (Pinocchio)

[personal profile] meowbel 2016-10-05 01:09 pm (UTC)(link)
If you say so though...

[And yet, she doesn't seem to let go of her Pineco. In fact, she was hugging it even more before she started to struggle a bit...!]
