Some Rocky Archipelago in the Middle of the Ocean; Earth, Dimension FH-001; Friday [05/09].

[somethingwithturquoise]

Summer had promised Stark that she'd show off her massive red robot ferret to him (not a euphemism, oh-em-geeee), and she figured the best way to do that was to just take him to where the thing was kept when not in use. Or, rather, to take him close to where it was kept, because it was actually kept at the bottom of the ocean.

"Okay," she said, once they'd portaled onto one of the larger outcroppings of rock, surrounded by the vast blue ocean, the stench of seaweed and salt water, and with the cawing of seagulls over head. She firmly set her GoTron pilot helmet on her head and then pulled her portal gun back out. "So you just wait here. I have to portal back the the house because the only way to access the cockpit is through the transport tubes, which will then suck me from the house into my ferret, and then I'll bring her out here so you can see her. Sound good?"

Because surely there was nothing nerve-wracking about the woman who just broke up to you leaving you all by yourself on a random rocky island in the middle of the ocean just because she basically said trust me bruh, right?

"Am I planning on it?" Summer asked, already texting her dad back as she spoke. "No. No way. That's like signing up to a whole weekend of unexpected bullshit and I am so not interested in that. But I don't really have any other plans, either. Why? Did you want to do something?"

Text sent, her eyes went back up to her ferret. "Man, it really does suck that there's really no passenger option with these things. We could go, like, take it out, stomp around on the moon or something...."

Her head tilted. Her eyes squinted at an idea filtering across her brain.

"....you know, I could probably blackmail Morty into letting you borrow his. Or talk my dad into loaning his. But then we'd probably definitely have to stay for dinner."

"We could do something," Stark said carefully. "Like...stomping around the moon, yes. I've never done that. And I miss doing things with you. New things."

He winced a little as he said it wondering if he shouldn't have said that.

Summer just sort of looked at Stark a moment when she noticed that wince, and then then she blinked and was back on her phone again.

Thank god her GoTron suit gloves had touchscreen friendly fingers.

morty let me borrow ur gotron, stark and i want to stomp around the moon for a little bit

im not letting u borrow my gotron summer, their not toys!

if u dont let me borrow your gotron, i'll just make brunette summer let me borrow hers and i'll tell all the other summers that u have dick acne

i don't have dick acne!

yeah but do they know that?

She took a moment to smile sweetly at Stark in the few minutes before she figured Morty would reply.

ok fine

"Awesome," she announced, tucking her phone away. "We're go for Morty's GoTron. You'll have to access it from the house, though, and then that'll shoot you straight into the cockpit. You'll have to go through the parking garage that got built over it, though, but don't worry about it, they're used to it."

Stark gave her a crooked,slightly sheepish smile.

"I get to pilot a ferret? You'll help so I don't do anything too terrible? And...it's ok to, to go in your house?"

[somethingwithturquoise]

"It's not my house," Summer pointed out. "It's my parents'. And the ferrets are pretty intuitive. If my dad could pick it up almost immediately, anyone could. And it's Morty's GoTron, so if something does happen to it, who cares?"

[stykera]

"If I couldn't do it and your father could I'd...walk into the sea." Stark made a face.

Jerry was very nice! But.

"They won't mind me being in there, your parents? And even if it's your brother's I don't want to break anything. I...just want to stomp on the moon. It sounds fun."

And weirdly it might be the most normal he'd felt around her in weeks.
