The Hirsch Phenomenon (part 29)

"I don't know..." Alex muttered. "And you missed the clones." He muttered something else.

"Wait, clones?" She asked. She nodded towards where Dipper was standing.

"Sev'ral Timez." Alex said slowly.

"Oh yeah..." Mirra said. 

"Wait, so the members of Sev'ral Timez are clones?" Dipper asked.

"Yes..." Mirra answered. Then she looked back at Alex. "Was you-know-who here?"

"Yes." Alex muttered. Dipper looked like he was about to ask another question, but Mirra started first.

"Did he say anything?"

"What do you think?" Alex replied.

"Knowing him, I'm gonna guess...he pissed you off?" Mirra asked. Alex groaned.

"Seriously, who are you guys talking about?" Dipper finally asked.

"Bill..." Mirra and Alex groaned in unison.

"That stupid dorito-face ruins EVERYTHING!" Mirra continued. Everyone in the room gave her a weird look.

"What's...a..dorito?" Dipper asked.

"A nacho..." Mirra answered. "Everyone just pretend I didn't say that!"

There was a pause.

"I like nachos..." Mabel whispered. Mirra groaned.

"Why don't we just go to the diner and sort things out there?" Mirra offered. "We can sort things out there." She glanced at the clock.

"Besides, it's already past lunchtime."

Needless to say, being in the diner felt weird for Alex. It was just another part of Gravity Falls he had helped create, but this was.. like, a whole new world he had accidentally created. It made him think about other cartoons again. Are they ALL real?
Mirra had to nudge him back to the present as Lazy Susan arrived to take their orders.
"What would you kids like today?" Susan asked. Alex stared at her a second before Mirra had to bump him again.
"Ah! I'll have the um... meatloaf burger?" Alex said. Mirra frowned but didn't say anything.
"I'll have the blueberry pancakes." Mirra said.
"Me too!" Mabel dittoed.
"I'll have the ribs.." Dipper muttered, almost unintelligible. He still hadn't got over the "you're a cartoon character" fact apparently.
Lazy Susan paused for a moment.
"Well, okay. What about drinks?" She continued.
"Oh, right, sorry." Mirra said. "I think water's fine." She glanced at the others and they nodded. Susan smiled.
"Thank you." Susan said. "Food'll be right out." She walked away. Once she was gone, Mirra pulled out a small rectangular piece of paper. Almost as soon as the rest of the table saw it, it had expanded into a table-sized map of Gravity Falls. The group flinched.
"How did you..?" Alex started.
"Magic." Mirra said sarcastically, then looked back at the map. She highlighted the town border with a highlighter.
"Ok, so me and Alex can't go past this line apparently." She said, pointing to the line she had made. "Right now we're here." She pointed to and circled Greasy's Diner on the map. "Soo we're gonna have to take the supernatural route out of town."
