GRUNKLE STAN:
There's music in the marketplace
The streets have come alive
The town is in a tizzy
It's a busy buzzing hive
There's cause for this commotion
And emotional display
We just can't wait to celebrate
Our favorite holiday
Le Jour D'Amour
Your song is in the air
Dipper was going from building to building stringing rows of pennants as his grunkle sang. He then ended up in the square by his grunkle where an arch of red and pink roses had been set up over a stage.
After the defeat of Gideon around six years ago Grunkle Stan had been named the head of all holidays. He set up the festivities for each holiday and sang out an introduction to each holiday, just as he did for Topsy Turvy Day. Dipper still did his bell ringing duties, but had also taken up a side job as Grunkle Stan's helper. Mostly he helped set up the decorations for each holiday and helped with the puppet shows.
GRUNKLE STAN AND DIPPER:
What magic will you make for us?
COUPLE:
What promise will you share?
GRUNKLE STAN AND DIPPER:
That golden bell
Sweet La Fidèle
Will soon be ringing clear
The best of all the festivals
Le Jour D'Amour is here
Grunkle Stan and Dipper danced around - not Grunkle Stan so much since he was old but Dipper definitely danced - and Grunkle Stan accidentally dropped the basket of roses he was carrying.
"Madames and Monsieurs, time is short!" Grunkle Stan hopped onto the platform. "You must find your true love, find your soul's mate. For the Festival D'Amour is upon us."
GRUNKLE STAN:
Some have come in puppy love
Perchance to steal a kiss
Some are still enamored
After years of wedded bliss
This included Mabel and Barnaby, who had married years ago. They were still very much in love...which Achilles sometimes liked to tease Barnaby about.
CROWD:
Everyone's parading
Down the promenade in pairs
GRUNKLE STAN:
To join the celebration
At the finest of the fairs
All except for poor Dipper, he still didn't have anyone. So, he just paraded with a couple of kids who liked the dancing part of the festivities. This included Mabel and Barnaby's daughter Clymene, who was very close to Dipper. She was almost as close to him as her mother was.
CROWD:
Le Jour D'Amour
Your song is in the air
What magic will you make for us?
Whose name shall I declare?
That golden bell
Sweet La Fidèle
Will soon be ringing clear
The best of all the festivals
Le Jour D'Amour is here
Grunkle Stan and Dipper put on a quick puppet show about the holiday for a group of the kids. After the show Dipper then left to pass out roses to couples.
DIPPER:
Oh how the stars
Will sparkle on the water
As the troubadours sing
Tales of true romance
Even the gargoyle quartet, despite not being able to go down and partake in the festivities, were into the holiday.
SOOS, MERMANDO, AND MULTI-BEAR:
The spirits may rise
With fire in their eyes
KATIE:
While gypsy girls enchant you with a dance!
Katie was so into it that she was even wearing an wig similar to Mabel's hair. She then swung the other three gargoyles around, causing them to look at her awkwardly.
Mabel still danced for the crowd, but she no longer did it in an sultry way like she used to back when Gideon was in power. Instead she just danced like everyone else. Dipper joined her in dancing sometimes, like right now for example. Even Clymene got into it by riding Waddles around the stage.

Dipper, having finished passing roses out, saved one red rose for himself and headed back inside. It was time for him to polish La Fidèle.
