The Multiversal Nexus: Mabel the Multiversal Matchmaker #1: Mega Man X: X and Alia

Mabel points a camera at herself. She was outside in a park with her friends Candy and Grenda about to make a video. Although those two were off camera.

"I'm Mabel Pines and today we're gonna be doing something a little different today! No guides today! Sorry everyone! So as you know the world is huge! Really huge! Then of course, there's other worlds too! But if there's one thing that's constant in most of them, it's that four letter word! And it's love! On Matchmaker Mabel, we're gonna to pair up two hopefuls and help them find romance!" Mabel said before holding up two figurines. One was a boxer Ippo Makunouchi. "Maybe it's a guy that just can't work up the strength to tell the girl of their dreams how they feel!" She said, with the other figure she was holding being Kumi Mashiba.

"Or maybe it's the girl that sees her Prince Charming but faints every time he gets near her." Mabel said, holding up figurines of Isabel and Duncan Rosenblatt.

"Today for two lucky people, those fears end! And our first guest is..... Alia!" Mabel said, gesturing to the female navigator.

Alia comes to the camera and waves. She wore armor that was red with pink and white accents along the edges. She had green lens crystals on her lens and chest wearing her blonde hair down. The reason for her armored appearance was because she was a sentient android. However, her, like other Reploids' thought processes are comparable to those of real people.

"So Alia, what can Matchmaker Mabel do for you today?" Mabel asked.

"Well, I've been trying to talk to X. Get a little closer to him. But, he just doesn't seem to notice." Alia said.

"X huh? A man of mystery." Mabel said. "Nothing I can't handle though! So, what's he like?"

"He's a maverick hunter. I'm his navigator. As a navigator, it's my job to give him info about the missions he's on along with guide him throughout the mission about any critical or just general data." Alia said.

"So he's like a hero huh? Interesting. Now tell me about his personality."

"Well, he may be a hunter, but he doesn't really want to fight. He's more of a pacifist that wants to try reasoning first before fighting. He wants Reploids like me to be able to coexist with people peacefully in our world. I may not agree with him on that and there are several others that don't either. But his passion is something that's really admirable." Alia answered.

Mabel was taking notes in a notepad.

"Hmm......" She said, thinking. "How does he look?"

"He's got blue armor-"

"Is that him over there?" Mabel said, noticing someone with blue armor from a distance.

Alia looked over and her heart skipped a beat. It was him. It was X! He seemed to have been talking to someone wearing a visor. Cyclops, the mutant leader of the X-Men to be exact.

"I'll take that as a yes." Mabel said. "So, you've tried to talking to him to get closer, but that didn't work....." She said, continuing to think. "Did you try having him walk you somewhere or do something with him?"

"Actually, no, I haven't. I believed he offered to take me to get some rest but I said no." Alia said.

"What? Why would you say no? He offered to walk you somewhere!" Mabel said in shock, knowing that Alia had a missed opportunity.

"I know. In hindsight, I kinda regret it." Alia said.

Mabel took a breath. "No problem! Just try again! Get close to him and if he's not busy ask if you want to do something with him. Spend some time and get close to him!" Mabel said.

"O-okay." Alia said. She wasn't exactly a person to show too emotional and was usually focused when it came to doing her job. This wouldn't be any different. At least she hoped.

She walked to where X and Cyclops were.

"Um, excuse me, X?" Alia said.

"Alia? What is it?" X asked. If she was here, it had to have been important, so he listened intently for whatever she had to say.

"Do you..... want to....." Alia said, looking uncomfortable.

"Alia, are you okay?" X asked.

"Do you mind walking with me back to base?" Alia asked.

"Why? Is something wrong?" X asked.

"There's something I need your help with." Alia said, trying to hide the fact that she was red as her hand was on X's shoulder but quickly took it off and grabbed his hand instead. "Come on, it's important that we get this done as soon as possible." She said.

"Okay. No need to drag me along. If it's that important I think it's best we run there together." X said.

"R-right." Alia said, letting go. To be honest, she wasn't sure if anything was going on that she would need help with. But she'd come up with something.

Alia looked back and smiled as Candy followed the two and pointed the camera at them but not too far away.

"He seems like a nice guy." Mabel commented before turning towards the camera. "It seems we might have another satisfied customer! Sometimes all it takes is a little bit of conversation! If you liked this episode, let me know and I might do another! Or, if you got someone you need to be matched with let me know! This is Matchmaker Mabel signing off!" She said before Candy stops the recording.

"Heh, you're trying to get Alia with X good luck with that." Zero, a red robot who was the best friend of X and a fellow maverick hunter said, watching from a distance. He was originally just relaxing and taking in the scenery, but when he saw Alia with Mabel and then go to X, he had to admit, he was pretty interested in where this was headed. And when he saw Alia blush, he figured it out.

"All it takes is baby steps. They'll get together some day! All she needed was a little bit of a nudge to get her going." Mabel said.

Zero could only close his eyes and smile. "Which I could have an attitude like yours kid. X may be good at a lot of things. But that is definitely not one of them. But, we'll see how it goes." He said before getting ready to walk away.

"Wait! What's your name stranger?" Candy asked.

"Zero. And don't worry, if this actually somehow works one day and Alia doesn't do it herself, I'll be sure to send you her regards if I see you again. Later!" He said raising a hand to signal goodbye before walking away.

"He seems cool." Candy said.

"Yeah, I bet all the girls love him." Grenda said, noticing the calm personality that the maverick hunter had when he talked.
