About fifteen seconds. [Yosuke is going to have a twelve year old suddenly in his face. Well. Kind of short to be in his face, but she is going to be right in front of him peering up at him with child like innocence, so very very excited.]

That's amazing. I never thought I'd meet somebody famous this summer. My name's Mabel--

[Wait this could be her chance. She drops her voice to be dramatic and mysterious sounding (it fails. Mabel don't.).]

But you can call me Lady Mabelton Pinesworth. It's my stage name.

[MABEL NO.]

[lambylamby]

Please don't call her that.

[princeofjunes]

[Is... is she hitting on him? Or does she just think he's her ticket to the stage? Either way he's at a loss. So he tries to play it off, forever thinking he's smoother than he actually is.]

Do you mind if I stick to just Mabel? It's a little more, uh... personal that way.

I'm Yosuke Hanamura. I sort of found my way here accidentally and your brother's been helping me out.

[grandmasweaters]

Oh. [A little bit of both, knowing her. But she's completely unfazed by his response, returning to her normal voice.] Yeah, that's fine.

Where are you from? The Mystery Shack is kinda out of the way, isn't it?

[lambylamby]

He's from Japan.

I found him in the woods after he fell through a wormhole worm's wormhole.

[He flips through the pages of the journal and shoves it in her face, pointing at the appropriate page.]

[princeofjunes]

Oh, so she's in on this stuff too then? I don't need to make up any weird stories or anything?

[He breathes a sigh of relief. Lying is seldom his strong suit.]

That makes life easier. I still need to find a way home though.

[grandmasweaters]

A plane ticket? [If he's only from Japan. But wormhole worms' wormholes seem a liiiiiiittle more complicated than that.]

Think Grunkle Stan will let him stay on the couch while we're figuring it out? Or is he going to have to sleep in our closet?

[lambylamby]

[He nods to Yosuke.] Yeah, no. It's cool, man. Don't worry.

Unfortunately, it's a little more complicated than just getting him a plane ticket. He might not be from the same point in time as us. He might not even be from this universe!

I... I hadn't actually thought about where he could stay. If all else fails, I think we have some sleeping bags, right?

[princeofjunes]

And even if I am, who back home is going to understand that a worm dragged me here through a wormhole? The fact that I suddenly popped up thousands of miles away is going to raise a lot of questions, and I don't need that kind of headache.

[The talk of where he'll sleep is making it much more apparent that staying could become a real possibility. His eyes turn to the TV briefly, then he shakes his head.]

Whatever you guys think is best? If this starts to look long term, I can try to figure something out after tonight. Or I could just camp outside if you have a tent? I doubt anyone would notice me in those woods.

[grandmasweaters]

You don't want to sleep outside. The gnomes will steal your socks and chew on them if you're not careful. [She looks very calm about this.]

And then there's the vampires, and the giant bats and I think there's a few zombies too, still--[She ticks them off on her fingers like she's trying to remember which one she forgot...]

Oh! And I think we have mountain lions.

[lambylamby]

That sounds about right, yeah.

Well, we might as well ask Grunkle Stan. It's not like we have anything to lose, right?

[princeofjunes]

[Well, it's clear he doesn't have any choice but to rely on the kids. Even if the gnomes, vampires, giant bats and zombies were made up (which he doubts), mountain lions are real enough to eat him alive.]

How are you going to even try and explain why I'm here? Or is he in on the insanity too?

[grandmasweaters]

He's in on it. [Mabel's voice is still calm and she smiles at him.] And he let me have Waddles, so I think I can charm him into this.

["Pleaaaase Grunkle Stan. Please please please." That is how she charms. But to be fair Stan has issues denying her anything.]

[lambylamby]

As long as we let Mabel handle it everything will work out fine.

[princeofjunes]

[Well, that's that then! His fate rests entirely in her hands. He gives Mabel a smile and a wink.]

I'm counting on you, Mabel!

[grandmasweaters]

[She gives a thumbs up with a bright smile, showing off her mouth full of braces.]

You got it! I'll do my best!

[... There is a pause, though. And then she sounds (hilariously because she's like... 12) fierce and disciplined.]

But don't blame me if Grunkle Stan wants to make you an attraction. You gotta work to eat here!

[lambylamby]

I was the "Preteen Wolf Boy" for about a week and it was just as awful as it sounds.

[princeofjunes]

[There's a moment where he considers this, and his shoulders sag a bit. So what will he be then? The amazing hand-in-TV boy? Awkward Teenage Wolf Boy? Come see Yosuke, the Amazing Luckless Human and marvel at his terrible luck?]

I'm going to hope he just needs someone to hang signs or something.

[grandmasweaters]

[Mabel will negotiate for him.] He's got Soos for that. Maybe you can stand outside and throw nails on the concrete so people's tires will burst and they'll come visit!

[... You fucking know Stan's done it.]

[lambylamby]

[You won't see Dipper questioning it, that's for sure.]

I'm sure he'll figure out something.

[princeofjunes]

[He sighs in defeat.]

I'd say to mention that I work retail back home but it probably won't matter. I'm sure whatever he comes up with can't be that bad.

[Fingers crossed for no crossdressing]

[grandmasweaters]

Yeah, Wendy's got that covered, too. And Dipper'd be upset if you took her time. [Mabel stop.]

[lambylamby]

[MABEL STOP.]

MABEL!

I mean, um, Mabel, don't you have a Grunkle to negotiate with? You should get going.

[This is totally not nervous laughter what are you talking about.]

[princeofjunes]

[Yosuke is confused for a few moments, but it doesn't take him long to piece it together. Sorry Dipper, but teasing mode has been engaged.]

It's alright Dipper, I'd ask to be a wolf boy with you before I move in on your girlfriend's territory.

[grandmasweaters]

[Mabel has done her job well. She grins, hiding her mouth behind her hand.] Okay, but you have to figure out what job he's gonna do!
