I'm not entirely sure where this is going, I just thought that this was kinda a fun idea. I'm finally spelling Mabel's name right.

Chapter 2 - Hello and Goodbye

Morty looked up at the tree, wondering if he was right. He remembered that those seeds made him really smart for a little while, but they also messed him up. He hoped that he could boil them and drink just a little bit and it would give him just enough intelligence to figure out how to survive on his own.

He had thought that he knew enough to survive on his own, but it was actually harder than he thought. Before, Rick would make all the decisions and it made him feel like a little kid. But now everything was up to him, sometimes it made him feel lost. He thought that if he was a little smarter, everything would be better.

That girl walked up beside him, put her arms behind her back and tilted her head to the side, "By the way, my name is Mabel. What's yours?" He turned to her and said, "I'm Morty, nice to meet you." They shook hands and he looked back up at the tree. He had actually forgotten about her for a moment. He didn't mean to bring her with him, it was just a spur of the moment decision. Although, she didn't seem too bothered by it.

"So are we going to get those down or what?" He looked over at her and said, "Uh, yeah," he rubbed the back of his head.

In fact, she seemed bright and cheerful, he couldn't see any worry in her face at all. "Let me stand on your shoulders and I'll grab some of those." She pointed up at the fruit. "O-ok." He laced his fingers and help them in front of him so that she could step up. As she put her foot in his hand she said, "Upsy Daisy."

While she balanced herself on his shoulders he took a step back so that he wouldn't make her fall. He could feel her shift on his shoulders for a minute before shouting, "Got'em!" He helped her down and she handed two of them to him. He could feel blood from the scratch on his side, pouring down his body. His left side felt like it was on fire.

He turned the Mega fruit in his hands before breaking them in half and taking the seeds. "I'm going to put these away and then I'll try to get you home." he said to her. She put a finger on her chin and said, "Are you going to use that portal gun?" she asked. He looked uncertain for a moment. "Yeah, I'm going to try but when I went to your dimension I was running away so I'm not it might take time to remember exactly where it was." She nodded, "Ok, but you can do it, right?" she pressed. "Y-yeah, probably."

He was trying to remember how to see where all the dimensions that he had gone to in the past on the gun. He guessed he would have to figure it out later. He typed in the address to where is was staying at and opened the portal. He walked through and was followed by Mabel.

'Home Sweet Home' he thought sarcastically walking into the cheap shed on the alien planet that he was staying at. Most of the things there just souvenirs and junk that he picked up in the couple of weeks that he had been by himself. He walked over to the pile of old blankets that he used as a bed and took out the metal box that he used to hide all the important things that he had found.

While he was doing this, Mabel was looking around with a slight frown on her face. "What is this place?" she asked. He turned to her slightly and said, "I live here," before focusing back on what he was doing. "Where is your family?" she asked. "Uh," he turned back to her, "I don't live with them anymore." Her frown deepened a little, "Did you run away or something?" "Something like that." he answered vaguely, standing up.

"Oh my gosh!" she said suddenly. "What?" she had startled him. She pointed at him, "You're really hurt." "Oh." he responded, giving his side a bored look. He had been thinking that he should take care of that but didn't have the time yet. "yeah, let me take care of that quickly."

He sat on the floor where he had some stuff and pulled out some cloth and turbulent juice. Turbulent juice wasn't really meant as a medicine but it worked as a substitute for things like this. He would go to the store later and get some simple supplies later; things like liquid stitches shouldn't be to expensive.

He peeled off his shirt, it was starting to stick to his skin, and tried to dab some of the blood off. "Yuck," said Mabel, who appeared right next to him. "Here," she said, reaching toward him, "let me help." He raised an eyebrow but handed her some of the dry clothes while he put some of the turbulent juice on his hand. He hissed as he spread it on his side. After he did this, she reached around him and wrapped the clothes around him. "There we go." she said when she was finished.

When he looked over at her, he felt like he had done something wrong. She was smiling at him brightly but his blood was covering her. She seemed like kind of person that should never have been in this kind of situation. The word 'pure' came to mind when he looked at her happy face. He could have easily put her in a lot more danger. He had the sudden erg to make it up to her.

"Um, w-would you like to see a movie with me before you go home?" he asked. "Sure," she said. He poured some water into the bowl and set it in the floor between in front of her. While she was washing off his blood, he took off his shirt and cleaned off the extra blood before putting on another yellow shirt. It was his last clean one; he watched as some of the blood he left dotted his shirt red. He was either going to have to buy more or change the color.

By the time he was finished she was already waiting by the door. He picked up the portal gun and dialed in the right code before firing it and gesturing for her to go through. He followed her through.

It was a dimension that looked just like most other Earth's except for the giant spiders walking around. "What?" she said, staring at a spider how was politely trying to ignore her. "This is a dimension inhabited my telekinetic spiders. They signed a treaty with humans a while ago so everything should be OK. It also has some of the best movies." "Really? Cool." she said. "Yeah, it also used to have the best ice cream in the universe but now it has flies in it so that every one could be included." He continued. "Gross." she laughed at the thought.

The theater was just a block away. His aim with the portal gun wasn't perfect but he was getting better. They were quiet while walking there, Mabel was looking around at all of the new things that surrounded her and Morty was just a bit nervous around her.

They walked into the theater and looked for something to watch. The other people, humans and spiders alike, avoided them; it was probably the blood. 'Two Brothers 2' was being featured. "I haven't seen first one." said Mabel. Morty shrugged his shoulders, "Neither have I. W-we can watch whatever you want." She thought about it for a moment, "We can probably figure out what's happening along the way." "OK." he responded.

By the time the they walked out of the theater, they were both laughing. "That was great!" she said, "The movie had so many turns, I didn't even know where that was going. I really liked the part about the old ladies and the cats teaming up to get revenge though." "Yeah, shows in other dimensions have an improvisational feel to them so you can't really predict what's going to happen."

He turned to her and said, "I guess I should get you home." He looked a away. "It was really nice meeting you Morty." she said. He could feel himself start to blush. "Y-yeah, you to Mabel." He opened the portal to what he thought was the right dimension and watched her walk through.
iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii*iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii*iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii*

When Mabel walked out of the portal, she was in the middle of the forest. In the distance she could see the top of the Mystery Shack. The sun was starting to set. The portal disappeared seconds after. She looked down at her to see some of Morty's dried blood on her sweeter and under her nails. She made her way to the shack, hoping that Dipper would be there waiting for her.

The 'Closed' sign was on the door of the shack and the door was locked so she banged on the door when she got there. Melody answered the door with a surprised look, "Dude, Mabel!" she said, throwing the door wide open, "We were so worried about you." She pulled Mabel into a tight hug.

Mabel had to admit that she felt a little bad that she made them worry, but that was a chance that she didn't think she would ever have again.

Melody pulled her into the middle of the room. It seemed like everyone she had met over the summer was there, except for Gruncle Ford and Gruncle Stan. Dipper was in the corner reading through the journal for the jabillionth time. "Oh my gosh, Mabel. What happened?" said Grenda as she stomped over to her and put her in a crushing hug.

Everyone seemed to be talking at once, so once she was let go she picked up Waddles and cuddled him. Suddenly Dipper grabbed her shoulders and shouted, "Mabel, what happened? Where are you hurt?" Mabel shook her head. "Mortys the one got hurt. I helped him pick some fruit and then we when to a movie with some giant spiders."

"Ooh," said Candy, "a movie about spiders, how exciting." Mabel shook her head, "The movie was about two brothers, there were a bunch of giant spiders in the theater." Dipper's grip tightened, "Are you sure you're not hurt?" "Don't be silly." she waved him off. Wendy put a hand on her shoulder and said, "We're all glad that you're safe Mabel." The rest of her evening was spent recounting the trip she had been on and all the things that she had seen.

"So, who is 'Morty'? asked Melody. "Morty is the boy I met." she was trying to think of the best way to describe him to everyone. "He is kinda shy and he looked like he was really sad about something but he was really nice to." "Is he cute?" asked Candy.

Mabel had to think about that for a moment. 'Cute' wasn't really the word she would use. He wasn't ugly but there was something mysterious about him, not 'hot mysterious' more like 'something really bad happened and he didn't really want to talk about it mysterious'.

"He's cute in his own way," said Mabel, still trying to find the right words.
iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii*iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii*iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii*

Don't worry, dear readers, this isn't the last those two will see of each other.
