video } I said, hey, girl with one eye

[krmvgivv]

[Dipper's sitting in his room, holding a red-wrapped piece of paper and looking very seriously at the camera.]

So, I just received a very interesting package–Mabel and I both did–I mean, we each received a different package, and… [He holds his up, then holds the note up to the camera.

It reads: In the search for something lost, do what you know you must. -RQ]

So clearly they're important, and I thought it'd be best if we open them nice and slowly and everyone can have a chance to see and weigh in, cause this is definitely a puzzle, and–

[–and Mabel shoves her way into frame violently, pushing Dipper aside and slamming a jar in front of the camera. The jar contains (1) blue eye that darts around in confusion at being jostled so savagely!! For a hot moment, Mabel does not care about that. She’s too busy looking a bit frantic.]

THIS IS AN EMERGENCY. This is the moment I’ve been training for since I first met Alice. [She balls a tiny hand into a fist.] I have one of her eyes, man. But that’s one more eye than I had before!

[She’s… definitely going at this with all the passion of a drill sergeant.] So my question is… Who’s got the other one? [SUSPICIOUS SQUINT. YOU BETTER NOT BE HIDING IT FROM HER. SHE WILL FIND YOU.

Dipper looks annoyed at the intrusion until he sees just what it is she has, at which point he looks shocked and amazed, one hand going to his head.]

Mabel, that's amazing! Oh my gosh, we have to find the other eyeball and figure out where the heck she hangs out when she's not announcing events… I'm going to get a clipboard!

[Whoops dashing offscreen now. There's a thump. Followed by an "I'm okay!" then another thump.

Mabel watches all of this with increasingly more pained flinches at Dipper tripping over everything, all while hugging the jar close to her chest.] Um… We’ll be right back, guys.

[She flicks the camera off.]

They harvest eyeballs from their defeated enemies and p-present them to potential mates. Like with penguins, but more graphic.

H-Have you even thought about what happens if you give Alice back her eyes?

[video]

[krmvgivv]

Yeah, we'll make her happy and she'll have eyes again. What's there to think about?

[Rick don't you dare say anything that's going to make Mabel sad.]

[powerofmabel]

[YEAH RICK!!!]

They're her eyes. [FIRM LOOK.]

[wriggedywrecked]

Y-Y-You'll be painting a target on her back is what you'll be doing. N-Not that it matters to me what happens to her, but the Queen's gonna be pissed that someone stole her weirdass jar of eyeballs. She'll probably just come take them again. H-How do you even know Alice wants them back?

[krmvgivv]

I know she should be the one who makes that call. [Could Alice not want them back? It's possible, though he'd worry it was brainwashing or something, not her actual feelings. But she can always say no.]

[powerofmabel]

And we'll protect her from the Queen of Hearts, ourselves. [HMPH.]

[wriggedywrecked]

Yep, thoroughly convinced. Look at this power of f-friendship bullshit happening. Evil queens beware, the children have friendship and belief at their disposal. Hot damn.

[krmvgivv]

We've got a lot more than that.

[powerofmabel]

YEAH! We've got experience in saving people from uncertain doom.

[wriggedywrecked]

I'm just saying, maybe if you added, say, a gun to the equation the odds might slide further into your favor.

[krmvgivv]

We have a gun. Rocket gave it to me.

[Sure, it's non-fatal, but it's still pretty powerful. Containment fields are awesome.]

We also have jetpacks, a magic potion, and power wrist watches Grunkle Stan designed. That enough gadgets for you?

[powerofmabel]

[FIRM NOD.]

[wriggedywrecked]

No, that's probably enough ridiculous shit to make th-this whole thing survivable.

[krmvgivv]

Ha! [He holds up a hand for Mabel to high five.]
