October 1st, year 2017.

'Another boring ordinary day'

Those words crossed Morty's mind as he was walking home from school. His hands were in his pockets as he walked on the sidewalk, leaves crunching beneath him as he moved forward.

He had tried to impress Jessica today again. And again, to no avail. He was so close though. Or at least he thought he was. But Brad. That name made his chest burn and fist clench.

Brad just had to intervene and ruin his shot! He had to be noisey and tell him that Jessica was so out of his lead and that he should just give up because him trying was already embarrassing enough. Geez, what a self esteem booster that guy is. And the most embarrassing part, Jessica laughed at him! As if his spirits weren't already low enough.

Morty sighed. He had to impress her. Needed to. She would like him. She just needed to give him a chance. She would be surprised on how much she would want him.

'She just needs a little push into the right direction,' he thought.

'She'll like me, as much as I want her.' He chanted over in his head as he reached his street.

As he came closer and closer to his house, he noticed the garage was closed. That was strange. Rick was usually working on something in the garage when he got home.

'Must be taking a break or something.' Morty thought as he walked up to his front door.

As he entered the house, he noticed that Rick was on the couch watching some TV, on the interdimensional cable box he created, with a beer in hand and the controller in the other switching through channels every thirty seconds or so.

'Typical Rick.' Morty thought as he climbed upstairs quickly.

Morty walked past the small hallway upstairs, passing his parents room that was closed. Then walking past Summer's room, which was opened ajar a bit. But seemed like no one was inside either.

He quickly opened his bedroom door and went inside, setting his backpack down. He then took off his shoes and socks, and put on some slide flip flops. When he took off his school clothes, his normal yellow T-shirt with blue jeans, he put on some old 'stay in the house' clothes.

After he was done he headed back down stairs to see what to do. He passed Rick who was now on the phone, mentioning about a day or something.

'He must've ordered something online again or something.'

Morty walked into the kitchen and grabbed a water bottle, opening it and taking a big gulp as something out of the corner of his eyes he saw a note on the fridge .

He picked it up as he set his water bottle down.

'Working late today :( Foods in the fridge!- love mom'

"Yikes when dad finds out that mom will be working late with that Devin guy, he's going to have a field day." Morty mumbled.

His dad was super insecure and Rick didn't help much with that either, always reminding them that their marriage was coming to an end soon.

'Wonder who Grandma was.'

They never talked about Rick's ex-wife. They didn't know what happened or who she was. All they knew is that they weren't allowed to talk about it, especially not to Rick. Mom had warned them that she was afraid if they even mentioned it, he would probably leave again so not to because this was her time to try and spend some time with her dad since he had left her when she was a child.

'Man how fucked was that.' He thought as he made his way into the couch next to Rick. He was still on the phone when he sat trying to focus on the TV.

"By Friday then? It'll be here?" Rick said in a bored tone. He must definitely be ordering something.

'Wonder what it is this time?' Morty thought. The call seem to be wrapping up as Rick said a few more things

"Excellent, so you guys better not fuck this up, I'll be expecting it on Friday." Rick said while pushing the 'end call' button and finally facing Morty with a bored look.

"Hey Morty, so I was browsing the TV and look what I found." He said while flipping to a channel called 'Ball Fondlers: The Ball invasion!'

Morty decided not to ask about what the call was about or what he was getting. He figured if he wanted to talk about it, he would've told him. Anyways, he'll probably just tell him to fuck off and to mind his own business.

"Hehe, Ball Fondlers." Morty laughed and they both focused on the Tv.

'I won't mention it now, at least. Maybe after dinner but definitely not now. Rick looks distracted or something.' Morty thought as he promised he'll come back to this later.

Dinner had been silent.

His dad, for some 'weird' reason, had to go on an errand out of no where after reading mom's note. Most definitely heading to the horse clinic where mom works so he could keep an eye on her.

He would never say it aloud but his dad was weird. Who in their messed up head spies on his wife at a horse clinic? His family was so messed up.

It was just Rick and Morty eating his mom's food. She had made pork chops and mashed potatoes.

'She was probably home today until they called her in to fill in for someone.' Morty thought as he ate his food silently.

Rick was doing the same as he was looking at his food carelessly. Should he bring it up now?

"S-so," Morty stuttered out.

Rick lifted his head barely and looked at him.

"W-were you like buying something online earl-earlier or w-what?" He finally asked. He hated having anxiety because it made him nervous to ask simple questions.

Rick looked down and kept eating until he took a gulp of his mango juice. After a long pause he finally replied.

"Yeah something like that, why?" Rick gazed down to his food again.

"O-oh uh, n-no reason, just asking," Morty looked down at his food again. Should he ask what it was?

"W-what'd you buy?" Morty asked.

Rick looked up and sighed in annoyance. Okay, yeah he was definitely going to blow him off right now.

"L-listen, Morty, don't worry about it. You'll find out when it's here." He grumbled.

"So this Friday?" Morty asked.

Rick looked up one last time to Morty.

"Yeeep." He breathed out and went back his food.

"W-well I can't wait to see it, Rick." Morty said with a smile.

"La dee da." Rick said with fake enthusiasm.

Well whatever it was, it must be something big and important.

'And I can't wait to see what it is.' Morty thought as he realized today was Thursday. And his anticipation grew bigger, excited for tomorrow's reveal.

Kinda short I know but I don't want to put in a lot of details just yet. So anyways review, comment what you think it'll be etc. I'll read through the comments to see if anyone got it.
