So let's say I have a textlabel in Player 1 StarterGui and I want to clone it and put it specifically in Player 2's StarterGui, how would I go about scripting and accessing Player 2's StarterGui or am I trying to script this the wrong way?

How would I access another player's StarterGui?

So how you would do this is simple, though you'd have to use client-server-client communication.
First, create a RemoteFunction in ReplicatedStorage.
Then, you want to make a Script in ServerScriptService.
From there you'll go into the script and type the following:
local repStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local remoteFunction = repStorage.RemoteFunction
remoteFunction.OnServerInvoke = function(player1, player2, gui)
gui:Clone().Parent = player2.PlayerGui
end
Then, you'll make a LocalScript inside of the ScreenGui you're trying to clone.
Inside of the LocalScript, you will put this.
local repStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local remoteFunction = repStorage.RemoteFunctionprint("Hello world!")
local guiObject = script.Parent
remoteFunction:InvokeServer("PlayerNameHere", guiObject)
This should work fine. The InvokeServer function takes a Player's name as an argument, and the gui you're trying to clone.
If you need any more help, let me know.

This is how to clone something into another player's PlayerGui, you can access their PlayerGui with basically the same process.

There is unfortunately no peer-to-peer communication, so you'd be forced to use remote events/functions to transfer from the donor to the server and from the server to the recipient.
