To say Morty and Dipper were in predicament would be an understatement, they are in an alien port on an alien planet filled with all manner of alien lifeforms across the multiverse with no Portal Gun or any way to return back, except it seems only Morty seems to worry about it, in contrast to Dipper who though at first was very worried, later was like a child in a candy shop as he furiously speeds painting and writing at every alien he sees and asked in his journal, cow-chicken hybrids, bipedal salamander, 4 legged octopuses with one eye, humanoid machines with glowing red eyes, antennas and have saws for a mouth, floating desks with brain-like aliens, avian humanoids of all manner, Elf like humanoids, dinosaurs from a parallel earth where they weren't extinct, a sentient telepathic chimera of a spider, a scorpion and a mantis, a floating fleshy balloon with tendrils and of course his latest finding, sentient chairs.

"Eh, I don't want to c-curb your enthusiasm but you are making a scene by gazing around every person you see," he replied to his friend who was currently staring at a sentient chair to its discomfort.

"So you're saying phones are food and humans are chairs in your dimension?" Dipper ignored Morty's advice as he was gawking at a very uncomfortable sentient chair.

"Ahm, Dipper?"

"Oh right, sorry! It must be weird talking to a sentient human who chairs in your dimension, whereas chairs are humans in my dimension which means chairs are humans and that you are actually alternate version chairs which are huma-...GAHH! Alternate Dimensions are so confusing!" He left the poor sentient chair as he kept muttering about the concept of parallel realities and took a walk with the Smith boy. "Honesty Morty, I'm very jealous of you."

"Hu? Why?"

"Because you get to travel the multiverse and see all of THIS!" Mason gestured around out loud. "Not even the mysteries of Gravity Falls can compete with things I just saw! I just had a chat with a sentient chair, man! A walking-talking sentient chair with eyes!"

"I-I'm pretty sure you kept interrupting him before he could even finish-"

"If walking in a portal nexus filled with all manner of strange life forms across dimensions is normal Saturday I-"

"STOP! JUST STOP!" he stopped walking and snapped back at the Pines boy to his surprise " * sigh* look, I get it, it's incredible for you, maybe your experiences with weirdness are different and your Great Uncle seems like a good person, but most of the time when I go on an adventure with grandpa I…I most of the time come to regret it…" He lamented to the boy with a trapper hat's thoughtful look as he let him finish.

"The things I have seen? The things I have done? You would be disgusted at me, and rightfully so, you were right to suspect me back then…" he takes a solemn look.

"That's not-" the brown-haired boy tries to remake but gets cut short.

"I threw an old man on the stairs to his death because I was mad." whatever Dipper wanted to say, died as a quietness left between them for a good long 10 seconds.

"Oh, it gets even better." He chuckled melancholy "I tried to save a sentient gas that saw organic life as pests and was planning to exterminate and in doing so a whole lot of people died. I've ruined a civilization of snakes all because I was trying to help them and the best of all….I drugged my crush for a prom dance." The boy from Piedmont now understood why Morty cringed and had outbursts when his sister mentioned Love Portions.

"Things lead to one thing and another, e-everyone but the family got turned into Cronenberg's monsters and R-We…we left my mother, father, and sister when the world ended." That revelation hit Mason like lightning as his eyes got wide and his mouth gaped with a feeling of dread.

"I left my original family to their doom, every time I see the versions of my parents and sister which I live with now is a reminder of what of…t-that…stu-pid, I wa-was s-tu-upid…" he nearly hiccuped as he looked away in guilt with tears in his eyes as he desperately hold his hands on his face to hide it "Do you know what the worst part is? Despite all of that I keep going on adventures with Rick because I hate every moment of me being me."

And with that, the silence was supremed between them, Dipper Pines for the first time during this voyage was lost for words, he didn't know how should he feel, how should he react or what should he even say, so stillness was the only thing between them for what felt like even longer until the boy with a hat took a breath and decided to finally break it as he awkwardly stepped and put a hand on the guilt-tripped boy's shoulder.

"...Did you do any of those on purpose?"

"No…." The yellow-shirt boy wiped his eyes.

"Did your grandpa have a role in any of those?"

"Mostly, I think…."

"Look…you are far from being the only person who made mistakes, I once raised the dead just to impress a bunch of government lakies."

"If you're trying to make me feel better by comparing-"

"I'm not, look. I-ugh"- he left his hand from the person he tries to comfort -"I won't pretend like raising the dead or any of the mistakes I did is comparable to yours or that I suffered as much as you because that would be an outright lie, what I'm trying to say is…" he sighs "Nobody is perfect, not me, not my sister, heck, not even my grunkles and I used to hero-worship one of them and I wasn't there, so I can't be certain, but you said yourself, you didn't mean for those to happen and sorry for my language, but your grandfather sounds like a dick."

A chuckle leaves Morty "no, he is." He replied.

"What I am trying to say is…what's important is to learn from your mistakes and to learn to love yourself, you can't expect happiness if you loathe yourself, and things between you and your grandpa would never change if you don't stand up for yourself, you can't always expect a savior to save you, sometimes the one who can save you is yourself."

Rick's Grandson pondered on what the Great Nephew of Stanford told, it was touching and maybe a bit corny; however, most important of all was that it made sense. How much of his misery was because he let others judge for himself? How many roots of his problem were because he couldn't be comfortable by himself?

"..T-thanks…" he muttered gratefully.

His friend smiled "Hey, no problem." he accepted with no charge.

Just then, their moment of friendship got interrupted.

"THERE THEY ARE!"

"YOU STUPID FRULK! YOU DON'T ANNOUNCE LOUDLY WHEN YOU FIND SOMEONE!"

They looked and saw a group of mismatched beings following them, a robotic guy with a security camera for a head with a blaster pistol which they guessed was the idiot who announced like some chase scene cliche, one eye six-pointed starfish which amusingly was walking like a moving cycle using his limbs, a three-eyed orange humanoid with 3 fingers for each hand, another humanoid but with bug features on a crooked state, red fly-like eyes, and wings with a futuristic rifle ' Are those nipples!?' Dipper thought and a red six-legged centipede-like entity with two mantis-like hands ready for a fight, 4 spider-like eyes, and two extra little hands with 4 fingers each having two blasters. All of them are coming toward them as if the red blast near a wall from the crooked one wasn't any more obvious reason for the duo to run.

"I said on stunt you senseless duhnak!" The orange one smacked on the crooked bug's head.

The bounty hunters kept following Morty and Dipper as they ran on a semi-crowded street due to shops being set around. During the chase, Morty throws some alien junks from the bazaars around them on the way away on their pursuers way to the shopper's protest, one which happens to be some sort of electronic hookah with some frog-like entity which got free and start following them as it grew in an astounding rate. It got grown into a running humanoid form before it grew old and died. Morty was having deja vu, whereas Dipper looked with a gaped mouth.

"WHAT THE-!?"

"BEST NOT TO THINK ABOUT IT!" Smith advised the Pines.

They continued their run from their chasers, an electric blob narrowly missed them which instead paralyzed some 4-handed mammalian centaur that had a fire glob instead of a head.

As they continued, they reached a dead end.

"It's a dead end!" Morty uttered.

Dipper frantically looked around until he saw an open hotel.

"QUICK! To the hotel!"

They move fast, Dipper takes the lead and they find what they think is an elevator door, so Dipper quickly punches the button. When it opened Morty tried to come in, yet got stopped.

"Why are you-?"

"No time to explain!" Dipper quickly entered, clicked the highest level, and came back before the door got shut, next he grabbed Morty while he yelped and hid behind the alien pink bushes of some plant in a large pot.

Just then, the hunters came and looked at the elevator.

"The pulps are going up!" The 3 eyed being declared as the group started going up from stairs.

"* Sigh* that was close." The blue-pant boy nodded in agreement to Mason.

"Come on, let's get out of here." the flannel-wore boy indicated and led the way.

Only for them upon getting out to meet the six-limbed starfish, before they could react it sprayed a black gas from its one eye resulting in them losing consciousness while they fell.

"Good thing I stopped for quality merch!" it spoke in an alien language, it was covered in clothes and hats with a cup held by one of its limbs, all of the merch had the brand of some amphibian-frog like creature with 2 big yellow eyes with slit pupils and a military hat which said 'Get a haircut trash bag!'.


Somewhere in the Nightmare Realm, 3 middle-aged men met a tangram.

"Okay, who's this Bill-wannabe? And why does he have a British accent"

"OI! You don't see me complaining about yours Ozzie!"

"I'm not-"

"Names LIAM! But you could also call me Cooper!"- Liam changes into a completely brown "Not copper with double P by the way! Otherwise, my brother would change his last name from Cipher to gold!" Now he was colored completely yellow and in a triangle shape.

"Wait! Bill has a brother!?" Ford exclaimed.

"MAYBE!-" he is shifted into a question mark with multiple colors "-Or Maybe I'm his cousin! OR! Maybe we aren't even related at all and we just happen to share the same motif!"

By now Rick was getting irritated by this indecisive tangram's antics "Oh for the love of- can you please cut the riddle part short so that-"

"Have you seen my hat anyway? I can't find it!" The tangram is now in the shape of a hat with his hat on top to bewilder others, his colors returned to the mix of multiple colors in each of his pieces.

"It's…in your head," Stanford informed.

The hat-shaped beings change into an exclamation mark "THAT'S A LIE! Heads don't exist in my reality!" he informed by getting close and in such a serious tone that it baffled the middle-aged men for a few seconds, except for Rick who just looked annoyed with rolled eyes.

"Just…stop please." Sixer pleaded with his right hand on his forehead

"Wow, this guy is so deep that he makes even Bill look sane," Stan commented in a jeered tone with one of his fingers circling in his head.

"Oh by the way! Not safe here! So follow me if you want to spend your very short lifespans, you old sack of 3-dimensional meat!" the now converted arrow pointed in a direction before moving slowly.

"And we should follow you exactly why? Because you happen to have a stupid informal hat and talk in riddles like every leading-clown banality?" Sanchez asked sarcastically.

"Well….yes?" Cooper upped what he had for shoulders "Is it because I look fishy?" He indeed switched to a fish. "Axolotl said fishes are a part of human diets, I should have known better not to trust a giant salamander with frills!" he shook his fist up.

"You know Axolotl?" Poindexter inquired, intrigued by it.

"Hhmmmm." The multi-colored being shifted into a pic "Hmmmmmm." He wondered as his shape kept circling around except for his one eye "HMMMMMMM! Nope." Sanchez slammed his face in frustration.

"B-but you just said he told you!" the six-fingered Pines sputtered.

"Is that so?" the now parallelogram questioned "Oh, then yes." Stanley's brother started to slightly twitch.

"AGHH! We are not going anywhere with this, this guy is clearly playing us out." Ford's brother was exasperated.

"OH WAIT! I just remembered there was an old, damaged shih shollion old portal artifact somewhere!"

"She sho wha-?"

"Good thing my insane cousin/Brother/NOT Related of mine couldn't pass it due to it only working for organic beings and being a one-way trip to some very dull place that even his wild party can't liven things up, LADIES FIRST!" he started moving.

"Are we really going to follow that inconclusive cuckoo head?" the conman gestured.

" 'cuckoo head'? What are you? A Saturday Night Cartoon character? Use real swears, this ain't a kindergarten cartoon! And yes, because YOU broke my Portal Gun, all the juice of it is out and I don't exactly have it now so I have to make one from scratch with whatever this hellhole has to offer until we give to our craving and start ritualistic cannibalism and the brats by then would likely go Lord of the Flies-esque. so in another word, yes we are going to follow that fucking-contradictive mollusk-" Bill's may or may not be brother did swap into a mollusk "-for the sake of plot convenience, unless you're willing to be the first sacrificial lamb when we get hungry." The white-coated man finished his sharp retort and left him with his ex-partner to follow the indecisive being in question.

"Wait, how are we going to follow-" The con artist didn't have time to finish when Rick and Ford took a staggeringly big jump from one asteroid to another, just realizing now that gravity is very funny in this abysmal realm.

"Well, that answers my question..okay Stanely, here we go-WOAH!" He jumped and as he expected, it was a very long jump thanks to the laws of gravity in this colorful realm, after which he landed.

"Woah! That was kinda fun!" He states, thus kept following and joined the group to whatever madness this turmoil of a realm has to offer.


"So let me get this straight," Beth stated as she was recapping upon everything from the Gopher-looking human which to her surprise is actually human just happens to have a Capybara-like attitude and physic.

"My father got stranded in your dimension, so he decided to get help from one of his past associates who, as you say used to own a shack, except his twin for some reason. Instead of faking his death after he disappeared, faked his death and stole his identity all in an elaborate convoluted plot to get his brother back by turning the house into a shack with fake cryptids, even though the place as you put it is filled with "Gnomes and the possibility of werewolves'' because he is a con artist so why not?" Soos nodded at Beth's recap.

"And typical of my deadbeat dad, he messed up something hence why there you are here and oh a pig who is feeding off my husband's favorite chair." She pointed, indeed a pig was feeding off Jerry's chair and he was not happy.

"Bad pig! Bad!" Jerry repeated as he kept trying fruitlessly to move the living bacon away with his own 2 hands, futile since the pig latched to the chair with its mouth like a leech "Leave my chair you dumb animal or there would bacon for dinner, Jerry's special!"

"That's all…." Beth gestured with her hands as she wondered what would be the adequate word for this situation.

"Ironic?" Soos replied.

"I take it you are the smart cookie in your family." Jerry's wife mused, in actuality, she was looking for a synonym for the word moronic. As she looked around she recognized that her daughter disappeared to the garage, after that she came back with what looked like a Portal Gun, though it looked retro, old, and much fat-looking, a backpack full of every SciFi Geek's dream and some gizmo with a monitor.

.

"Grandpa told me to use it in situations like this, and boyo he REALLY needs to learn naming stuff." Summer scoffed at her grandfather's unimaginative way of naming things.

"How are we going to even track them?" Beth asked.

"Grandpa put trackers on all of us in case we get lost to be tracked by this."

"Of course he did." Summer's mother responded deadpan, not surprised by Rick's antics at all.

Summer points out her Portal Gun to use it before her mom break in "Now hold your horse's sweety, I'm coming too."

"But mom-"

"Your mom once slaughtered an entire species of abominable inbreed monsters by herself and in case you forgot, Space Beth is an exact clone of me(Or at least I think she is the clone) and she is rocketing in her galactic insurgency-Star Wars rip-off on evil empires; besides, when was the last time you and I had quality time?"

"Ughh, fine! But please don't make this into a sitcom family picnic, this is supposed to be a thrilling rescue mission."

"Uhm, what about me?" Jerry questioned while he tried to lure the pig using a can of beans which didn't work.

"Sorry honey, this is a girl time only, you watch the Gopher-man, while we find my dad and our son." Rick's daughter informed.

"How can it be a girl's only time if you are-" a Portal opens.

"Gotta go, BYE!" She and her only daughter stepped into the Portal and disappeared.

Leaving only Soos and Jerry alone.

"So, do you need help with Waddles Ham-bro?" Soos questioned Jerry in a generous spirit, thus one of Jerry's eyebrows coming up from the 'Ham-bro' term.


'Just a little bit more Mabel, you almost reached…' Mabel internalized as she walked toward his nearly ended journey, her 13 years old legs were tired, had to take stops once or twice to recuperate, she was near the end of her journey, the castle was now very close and could see it, except as she understood, it wasn't a castle but more like a-" Theme Park?" She vocalized. As she entered what looked like a gate behind a line of confined lined irons, the ones she saw that are used in theme parks which she saw in her tripe with her brother and her parents, except there was no one asking for tickets, in fact as she was going to learn, there is no one here at all.

When she looked around as she entered, she saw nobody, no employees, no customers, not even the sound of machines working, everything was eerily silent to her discomfort. It was like walking in a ghost town, but now she thinks about it not everything here looks like a theme park, some places looked like a town. The walls and buildings were colored like gnomes barfing rainbows all over and yet, they looked dull as if they were ravaged by time. Even with all the creepy vibes, Dipper's sister got, she knew that this place has her best chance of survival and unexplainably this place looked familiar, like that feeling of deja vu you get yet don't even know why.

Then, she finally sees someone, with brunette hair like her, the same size as her, and a wore a sweater like her, she didn't need her brother's intelligence to deduct that she is another Mabel, although this Mabel who's back was currently on her looked disheveled, her hair was wild and her clothes were ragged, there was some scepter in her hand from the top in which what looked like a broken snow glass with a Shooting Star inside of it like that sign from his signature sweater, the person who's back was on her give Dipper's twin sister the impression that she was weeping with her hands on her face and sounds of mumbling.

"Eh…hi?" Dipper's twin hailed awkwardly, no response from her, so she stepped closer and closer with caution "Hey, are you alr-" she stopped as the mumbling becomes higher, slowly she circled around her to face her in front when she did the alternate version of her slowly left her face. "Hehe…hehe…" and when she revealed her face, Mabel's blood went cold "HahaHAHAHAHAHAHA!" What she saw was the face of Madness itself.

Laughter

Sadness

Anger

Guilt

Insanity

And a whiplash of emotions contorting in her face as she laughed maniacally before Mabel could react the staff with a violet pink energy so as the Mad Mabel's eyes lit up and from the top the baton hit on her head, the force of the hit wasn't enough to make her unconscious much less hurt her, yet the glowing energy shut her down as she fell like someone turning off the lights, all she could hear was demented laughter before her vision gone dark.
