Twins missing in Dual worlds chapter 10: Political Build Up.
I was unable to have this beta'd so I will upload it as is. Help us all.
Mabel was dreaming of home. She was doing cheerleading practice while Dipper was writing in his journal. (Go in more details)
This brought a big smile to her face.
She hears horrible clanking sound, she woke to see…Sprig came in with a pot and spoon banging them together.
She jumped up screaming and smacked him with her pillow.
He easily caught it with his tongue. "Mowning woommate."
"let's wake up a little quieter in the future." She grinned.
"Does that work?" He asked, his eyes suggesting it was an innocent question.
Mabel stuck out her tongue. Sprig response to this by saying, "Mine bigger."
"And stinkier!"
"I know you are what am I"
Mabel laughed.
"Hey you got something on your face. All over your face."
"Like what?" She laughed. Not believing him.
"It look like your skin have red bubbles all over it."
Her eyes widened. "What?"
"Red bubbles, did the room just get colder?"
Mabel ran to a mirror and screamed.
Meanwhile in Newtopia:
A lady newt wearing a laver color dress appear to be talking to someone, "Do you hear something your majesty?"
Back at the Plantar house:
Mabel was panicking. "I have zits! I'm hideous!"
"Yes, but I figure you knew that already." He said.
"Oh shut up."
"So you want breakfast or no?" Sprig asked.
She was crying dramatically, they were flying upwards and falling downwards like an anime character.
"What is going on here?" Hop Pop asked, rushing hearing the noise.
"Someone better be dead." Polly didn't like to be woken up and not get food.
"I HAVE ZITS!" Mabel cried out.
"Okay, we are going to need you to quarantine her."
"Don't struggle, Mabel." She said, getting out old doris.
"But it's not contagious!"
"Start with that next time, Mabel." Polly said, putting up her rolling pin.
Mabel sigh in relief. "I can't stay mad at you."
"Well if we aren't dealing with a plague you still got chores to do."
Mabel groan, "Grown ups are the worst in any world."
"Come on we got veggie to sells. Chop chop kids."
"I can't let people see me like this!"
"Don't you have a scarf?" Polly asked.
Mabel wrapped up her head and headed out.
Well they have money from the pop luck, but that wouldn't last long especially with the trip in a month or two.
Mabel was doing her best to stay out of sight. Preparing the food bags.
Maddie the weird girl wants to get one.
"Here ya go Maddie."
"Thank you." She said with a big smile on her face.
"Bye now?" Mabel was confused by this.
"Byyyyeee." She said.
Mabel sighed in relief. A breeze was getting reached for her scarf. It blew away from all the movement. She screamed everyone can see how ugly she was now.
"Look at her, warts. Beautiful ruby red warts." A random frog cried out, The town loved it. Mabel must have been more confused then than any other point in her life. They look at her with admiration.
"Whats going on? Why are they cheering me?"
"They seems to like your zits." Sprig explained.
"But why?" How could they loved her when she so ugly now.
"Who cares sell it girl." Polly said, loving all of this.
"What, how, why?"
"How should I know you're the alien."
"I am not an alien." She said, forgetting she the visitor to this world.
"You kinda are." Polly said.
Mabel huffed indigent.
"Go ahead, it might be good for you." Sprig said, people seem to like it.
"I guess. But isn't that kind of bad?" Mabel being a bit naive.
"Think about it Mabel, free money." Polly reason.
"It would help hop pop..." Plus her candy supplies would go down, no one want a sugar free Mabel.
"Besides it might be nice to be complimented." She said, leaping on her shoulder.
"Well that is true. MAybe I could do it."
"Yeah you should do it." She said, at the other shoulder.
"How did you do that?" To Mabel it look like Polly teleported to the other side.
"Listen to the frog on your shoulder." She whisper to her.
"Well can't argue with that."
"See, just trust your bestie Polly." Mabel laughed at that. She smile laying back on on her shoulder. Mabel tried to gather more customers. "Look at me, everybody look at me."
"Good job Mabel." She said.
"Thanks!"
"Welcome."
Mabel asked how pop if she was helping.
"Yes thank you Mabel. This means the world for me." He would get her some more yarn after this.
She beamed at the praise.
He did see her as a granddaughter and wanted to do right by her.
"We made a ton of sales!"
"And it all thank you. The mayor coming this way, look calm."
"Got it." Like Grunkle Stan all over again.
The big fat toad, in a purple suit appear, from a hot air balloon that looks like him. "What do we got here?"
"veggies mostly. A couple fruit." Mabel said, "The best food in all of Wartwood."
"Not the food, these." He said pointing at her pimples.
"Ugg pimples." She never felt more self conscious than this moment.
"The town love them." He had plans on using them for his own gain.
"For some reason." She said, hating this.
"How about you take a drive and we can talk about how those money maker can be use for a mutual agreement." He said, using business talk.
Mabel was worried about this. "Hop pop should I?"
"Don't worry, I am sure MAYOR TOADSTOOL, wouldn't TAKE YOU somewhere dangerous." He said, making sure the town knew what was going on.
Mabel smile at his care, even if she did not understand the why.
They got on the mayor personal ride for a business meeting.
Mabel was ready to punch him if he tried anything.
"Now I got a proposition for you."
"What do you want?"
"You see I been getting a bit of bad publicity lately and was hoping now that uour miss popular you can help."
"But you're bad at your job, You have bad publicity because you make bad decisions. I can help with that," she figured she could help him turn over a new leaf if he wanted. (might want to change to sounds more like Mabel.)
"I figured you give me a few goods words that will help with the upcoming election."
She ignore some advice both of her grunkle told her, "I'm not gonna lie to you."
"O-kay." He said, not need to cause trouble.
"That's a stupid plan."
"Which part?"
"Lying. You need to be more honest or you will always get caught."
"That politics."
"No that is dumb."
"Are you in politics?" He asked.
"I am in cheerleading. Same thing."
"I have no idea what any of those words mean." The toad look befuddle.
Mabel grinned.
"Cheerleading?" Might as well discover what this is.
"It is a human thing." Mabel said.
"Fair enough."
"Well I guess just drop me off at home." Mabel said, wanting to get to the comfort of the Plantar house.
"Think of the offer. IT would be worth your while."
"Suuuure," she'd warn hop pop.
"Hey Kiddo.' he said putting up the few reminding unsold veggies.
"Hey hop pop!" She said waving at him, ignoring how tight the sweater was.
"So what did the mayor want?" He asked, curious.
Mabel explained to him what happened.
"What did you decide."
"I refused to lie for him." Mabel wasa girl with standards.
"I am glad you have integrity. Kinda wish Polly and Sprig could have some." In the background they could hear the two yelling and blaming on each other for something.
"Thanks," she smiled, this made her feel good.
"Although I do have to asked, did he mention who else was running?"
"No one that he mentioned Why?"
"Really, I am still trying to figure out how in tarnation he will lose when unapposed." He said, scratching the side of her head.
"That is a real good question."
"That's a problem for another day." hop Pop dismissing it outright.
"Now what I need is soap."
"There is a new bar under the sink."
"Jezz thanks."
He had the feeling that this might not be over just yet
(might edit the rest later to say it was all over)
The next day.
He knock on the door, Hop pop went over to answered. "An associate of my wish to speak with the human." Toadie answer, as if anyone didn't know who he was talking about.
"No," he shut the door.
"well That could have gone better." Toadie said.
As Hop Pop was turning around, "Whats up?" She asked hop pop.
"Just Toadie, nothing too worry about. Your looking better today."
"Thankfully. I know it made me popular. But I want that to happen because they like me and not just how I look." She also prefer the feeling of having clean pores.
"Don't worry, I am sure it will never happen again."
"I hope so. Having those zits were awful."
"Yup, he will never bugs us again."
Meanwhile outside sprig and Polly were meeting with the mayor.
"Now I am not going to lie, I need good PR and am willing to pay for it."
"Planters don't come cheap." Polly said, holding her hand up, she would be rubbing her fingers together if she had any.
"Money is no object," he said. Flashing some coopers.
Sprig thought about it, "I think she might be able to be bought."
"Just what I wanted to hear." He said rubbing his hands together.
"For a little bit." She said, feeling this won't last forever.
"Yeah, yeah sure." The Mayor said, not fulling listening.
"We'll see what we can do." Sprig said.
"I'll be seeing you soon." He said, walking away with Toadie.
The two hop the other way, they went to see Mabel was in the dining room.
"Now this needs to be done with skill and tack. Go get her Sprig."
Mabel yelped as she was thrown into a bag.
"Why did we do a bag again?" Polly asked.
"It's iconic!" Sprig answered.
"Your the one that gets to explain it to you."
"Sprig? Polly? Is that you?" Mabel wasn't sure what those two were playing at today, couldn't it wait until after breakfast?
The brother panic so decided to do a poor accent "No it is I Wally."
She frowned. "Sprig what is going on?"
"Well the mayor pay us to have you speak, and Sprig thought this was a good idea, I just wanted to asked you."
Mabel frowned in the bag, "hard no!"
"Why didn't you say that before we kidnap you?" Sprig asked.
"I did!" Was this karma way of getting back at her for what she did with 'Sev'ral Timez'.
Polly was the one to asked, "You won't work for him?"
"I won't lie for him."
"Crud." Polly said.
"Who would, you?" The two look to the side at this.
Polly eyes widen "Okay this is bad."
"Ya right it is!"
"Sprig what should we do?"
Mabel hope they see reasons, "We probably shouldn't fight
"Now let me out of here." The two frogs obey her wishes and remove her from the sack.
"Let get you out of there and continue this conversation never."
"Agree." Mabel said, she felt they remove her from the sack. "Let's never do that again." She said.
The two were already planning on next time.
To Be Continue…
Next time: We see Mabel get flashbacks of Boss Mabel, when Sprig challenge Hop Pop for the farm.
