A Variant Lawndale 01 - Beach Party Invitation - Part 5

 

Suddenly, something happened. There was a rumble and the ground near the wave pool cracked. Brittany grabbed a bullhorn. “Everyone away from the pool!”

 

Then a large amount of lawn gnomes were launched from the crack.

 

“Gnomes! It’s Gnomageddon!” Spatula Man cried out, over the radio.

 

“Great!” Daria said as she took in the sight. “Definitely time to go.”

 

“But where’s Quinn?” Jane asked.

 

“We do need to find her,” Daria considered.

 

 

Quinn emerged from where she had disappeared into. She then ran around the side of the mansion and saw the lawn gnomes going everywhere. “Oh well!” She knew that Daria would be worried, so she decided to look for her.

“Yes, there are lawn gnomes everywhere!” Jane said.

 

“I saw them,” Quinn said.

 

They then left, heading towards the gatehouse.

“But my shoes are wet,” Quinn complained.

 

“Or we could wait for someone else,” Daria said.

 

“Good idea,” Quinn said.

“I guess so,” Quinn said.

 

“Let’s go,” Jane said.

 

They then got into the back seat and Upchuck then drove them back into Lawndale proper, albeit not without annoying commentary. “You will note, that the home of the Director of Public Works is built on unstable landfill…”
