Summer Smith laid on the couch in her living room with an uninterested expression on her face, plucking away at her phone. After finishing her millionth game of Candy Crush, she tossed her phone on the floor and sighed, looking up at the ceiling. It was too quiet today. Beth was at work, called in on a Saturday for some sort of equine emergency. Jerry took Morty out driving at one of the empty high school parking lots. Summer recalled the entertaining argument between them.
"Aww, D-dad, why do I need to learn to-to drive an Earth car? Rick already t-taught me how to drive a space car! I have other stuff to- that I want to do today!" Morty had whined.
"I'll hear none of that! I'm your father Morty, and as your father it's my right to teach my son how to drive a car. And it's just a CAR, Morty not an 'Earth car'!" Jerry had insisted.
Unfortunately for Morty, Rick had been in the garage messing around with some gadget so he wasn't able to rescue him from the pointless Jerry interaction. Rick hadn't even realized they were gone until he walked into the living room from the garage.
"H-hey Morty, I need you to-" Rick started as he walked into the room. His face fell somewhat when he saw his granddaughter laying on the couch.
"Oh- it's just you, huh." Rick said, not a question, but a statement.
Summer sat up, letting Rick sit down beside her.
"Yeah! Morty is out with Dad. Do you, um... do you need help with something?" Summer said a little too enthusiastically.
Rick sighed and rubbed his temples. Ever since Summer saved their asses on Gazorpazorp, she was impossible to shake. It wasn't that Summer was incompetent-not any more than Morty, at least. He'd never been any good at dealing with women. They only fell into two categories for Rick- complete idiots, or sex objects. Sometimes they overlapped, but his daughter had been the only female in his life that was treated outside of these groups. In the grand scheme of things, Rick hadn't known his granddaughter that long and wasn't inclined to treat her as well as Beth. It was a continual battle for Rick to figure out what mystical fourth category Summer fell in his mind.
"Ugh… I GUESS, S-Summer. Have to get this-finish this thing today. Let's just h-hope you can manage to not screw up." Rick rolled his eyes and stood up, walking back towards the garage. Summer stood and followed him closely.
"Hey! Did I mess up when I SAVED you on-" she started
"We KNOW, S-Summer. I'd-I'd call that a lucky break…" he trailed off, wiping drool from his chin. He sat down on his work bench and picked up his portal gun,
"Hey, that was NOT luck! If I hadn't-"
"S-Summer, do you want to do-do this, or are you going to keep bitching?" Rick barked at her. Summer recoiled a little at his words and nodded her head silently.
"Good. Hear- now, listen. I'm sending you to the planet *URGH* Momsen, dimension B-838." Rick said while typing in coordinates on his portal gun. Before he could continue, Summer spoke up startled.
"Wait, WAIT! You're JUST sending ME? You're, you're not coming with me?" Summer said with confusion.
Again, Rick exhaled an annoyed sigh and rubbed his fingers on the bridge of his nose.
"Is-is-is-is this a PROBLEM, Summer? Shit, I send MORTY to these-these places alone all the time." Rick bluffed. However it was true if it had been Morty instead of Summer, he also would have sent him alone. He was too close to finishing his latest project and didn't want to take the time for a simple task.
"Oh, Ok… but, why?" Summer asked lightly.
Rick shot his eyes up at her, his voice again, full of annoyance.
"Christ, I-I guess I have to explain EVERYTHING to-to you. I'm sending you to one of my PAST dimensions. You-you, know what PAST, means, S-Summer?" Rick said in a pandering voice.
Summer furrowed her brow at shot him an angry glare, staying silent.
"GOOD. J-Just checking." Rick said.
00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
Summer was walking alone down a dark concrete street. She looked around and observed her surroundings. The planet was fairly Earth-like, save a few extra planets and moons that lit up the sky through the darkness of the clouds. It was very cold, the ground fresh with light snow. She looked down in her hand at the piece of paper Rick had given her.
'2301 Negative Space- Ask for Oflox'
Before Summer left, Rick had tossed a black jacket towards her.
"What is this for?" she had ask.
"J-just trust me. You'll fit in better that way." Rick had said.
After reflecting back on the strange conversation, Summer shoved the piece of paper back in the jacket pocket. She walked a couple more blocks before it began to spit more snow and she started to feel the ground vibrate under her feet. She found herself in front of a dark building around a corner behind the main street. The vibrations grew stronger as she walked closer. Next to the building was a pair of rusty stairs along with a few figures of people standing outside smoking. She saw in the moldy window '2301 NS'.
'This must be the place' she thought.
She began to walk down the stairs, but someone behind her grabbed her arm. She reeled around to see a huge, beastly looking man smirking down at her. He was about 6'6'' with a strange purple beard wearing all black, a few knives visible hanging on his thick jacket. Summer felt herself begin to inwardly shake.
"Well now…. What are you doing here, sweet cheeks?" the man rumbled. Summer somehow successfully ripped her arm away from the grotesque creature and ran down the stairs without a word. She was thankful the thing decided not to follow, but instead bellowed a huge laugh as she tore through the door.
00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
As Summer stood in what she observed to be an underground music club, she walked cautiously to the bar. It was clear now the vibrations she was feeling outside were from the deafening music playing on the low stage. She sat down at the bar, trying to decide what to do next. The room was completely packed wall to wall with people, the ceiling to the floor totally black. Well, most of them looked like people. A few alien types were scattered throughout the crowd. There were a few sitting areas with people gathered around, buzzing excitedly about something. She saw them passing some strange contraption around in a circle, realization hitting her. It's not like she hadn't tried drugs before, it just shocked her to see it happening so in the open.
Most beings in the club were total engrossed in the incredibly loud, intense music playing in front. The scream stuff wasn't really Summer's style, but everyone seemed to be into it. As she was sitting, staring out into the crowd, she again felt someone touch her arm. She quickly pulled away and looked over at her intruder. She felt silly when she realized it had been the bartender from across the metal platform. He looked relatively normal, save his blue skin and black eyes.
"WHAT can I GET you?" the bartender asked.
"Uhhhummm….." Summer stuttered. She had never been to an actual bar before, yet alone an alien one. She was completely overwhelmed. It was pretty dark in the room and she couldn't see well, but she felt a change in temperature as a figure sat down next to her.
"She'll have a black hole on me, Liergo." The figure said in a raspy voice. Summer couldn't entirely make out the person beside her. It was definitely a male, with long black hair and strange looking skin. It almost looked like it was glowing.
The bartender grinned and nodded at the figure before disappearing. He turned towards Summer, golden eyes looking at her sharply. He eyed her up and down, his hands resting casually on the table with a drink in his hand.
"Human." He said. A statement, not a question. He smiled and took a swig of his drink and stuck out his hand towards Summer. She noticed his long, sharp fingernails.
"I'm Veeg. What can I call you, Earth girl?" he said smoothly.
Summer hesitated for a moment, but then put her hand into his to shake it. His skin almost burned her as she made contact, but she didn't flinch.
"S-Summer. My name is Summer." She replied loudly over the music, retracting her hand.
"Summerrr…." He purred her name to himself, taking another drink, not taking his eyes off of her.
"We don't get too many humans around here. What brings you here?" he said, moving casually closer to her.
Before she could reply, the bartender returned and placed a short glass in front of her. Summer looked down at it. It was completely black, but was filled with tiny shiny specks. It was actually quite beautiful, Summer had thought.
Veeg's question brought her back into reality. What was she even here for again?
"I'm- I'm looking for someone. Do you know someone here named Oflox?" as she asked, she picked up the drink and gave it a light sniff. It smelled great, like deep berries and cream. She knew it probably wasn't a good idea to drink while trying to complete Rick's mission, but this was her first time getting a drink at a bar and she wasn't going to waste it.
The drink didn't disappoint. It tasted better than she could have imagined and ended up drinking it all in one long gulp. When she looked up Veeg was smirking at her.
"Oh, you're looking for Oflox? I can take you to him, babe, no problem. Follow me." Veeg stood up from the bar stool and extended his hand.
Summer already started to feel her head swim. But this was the first lead since she'd been in the bar, and she couldn't let Rick down. She nodded, stood up from the stool and took Veeg's hand. He pulled her through the crowd of bodies until they reached a dark door in the back of the club. He opened the door and let her walk in first, looking around into the club before shutting the door behind them.
Little did either of them know, another set of eyes had been on Summer since the moment she stepped in. He couldn't let this happen.
"Fucking Veeg." A distant figure muttered before laying down the bong and making his way to the door.

Summer ruining everything with her stupid boobs.
Rick and Morty for ever and ever, a hundred years!
