Night Falls (Nightvale/Gravity Falls Crossover)

Science and Sweaters- Part 2

"Oh my Gosh is that..."

Cecil and Mabel were at Joanne Fabrics, where they were getting yarn for sweaters, although Mabel was currently preoccupied with a different product.

"A GRAPPLING HOOK! I thought they only sold fabric and clothing stuff here!"

"No, they sell all sorts of things, the name is kind of misleading honestly."

She held the grappling gun in her hands like it was a gift from the gods, or maybe the glowcloud (all hail)

"Alright so, we have rainbow ombre yarn, hot pink yarn, yellow, green, and blue yarn-"

"And one grappling hook?"

"And one grappling hook, c'mon let's go check out."

"Alright!"

They made their way to the front of the store and got in line for the checkout counter.

"Oh hey we forgot something."

"Hmmm?"

"Glitter! I'll be right back, stay in line."

"Ok!"

Mabel ran off, leaving Cecil in line by himself. She swerved through the shelves, trying to find the glitter, eventually she found it and retrieved it off the shelf.

She eventually caught up with Cecil, and almost slammed into him and the cart.

"Hey Cecil I got the glitter!"

Cecil nodded and the line moved forward a space. Mabel began to load up the craft supplies on the belt.

"So, when did you learn to knit?"

"Oh I learned it a few years ago, but I've always been a big crafts person, scrapbooking and collages and stuff."

Cecil handed the cashier a few bucks, took their bags and left the store with Mabel in tow.

"That sounds like fun, I think I made a scrapbook once, it wasn't very good, Carlos probably could have made a better one, Carlos is perfect at everything."

Mabel laughed, Cecil smiled.

"You two are good together."

Cecil laughed at that.

"Mabel, do you have a crush on anyone?"

"Sure I do! I'm still in contact with Mermando, though it's been hard to communicate lately since we're in a desert now."

"What about this Mermando?"

"Oh yeah, I met him back at the public pool in Gravity Falls, I helped him get back to the ocean to be with his family, but we've been in contact."

"Ocean?"

"He's a merman."

"Ah, makes sense."

"I think I have a few pictures of him in my scrapbook, hold on-"

She stopped walking and took off her backpack. After fishing inside for a second she brought out a large rainbow colored book that of which many random things were stuck to.

"Got it!"

She opened it and flipped to a page that had a picture of Mermando, shells and blue glitter on it.

"Very sparkly."

"Yeah, the inside of my backpack is really just eternally coated with glitter."

They read the entry on him, which mostly consisted of i's with heart's instead of tittles (did you know that's what the dot is called?) And a whole lot of 'like's.
