Two Family Members

Morty Smith was sitting in the living room, watching interdimensional cable. The television showed the words, "This film has been altered to put it on a television with commercials in between, and also altered to fit on a television screen in any dimension. Some stuff may not be in there, so there's not going to be any cool 3D IMAX dome-effect, or in-your-face virtual reality. It's just 2D."

Then, the movie started: it was Two Brothers. Morty sat with a small smile on his face, looking at the movie as it started, with the two brothers riding down the streets of Los Angeles in a van. He stared at the screen, somewhat anticipating the meteor impact that would kickstart the action in this action movie. Then, the meteor hit, and the title credits appeared. Then, things got knocked into twelfth gear, and the Two Brothers started on their adventure: running from tornadoes, fighting off cats, the whole nine yards.

"Hey Morty, what'cha watching there?" asked Rick Sanchez, as he walked up to the couch.

"Oh. I'm watching Two Brothers," said Morty,

"Really. Huh. Mind if I *urrp* join you?"

"Go ahead."

The two of them sat on the couch, and watched as the Two Brothers went around LA, running from the various phenomena that popped up occasionally. Then, they came to a familiar battleground.

"Haha, here it comes, here comes the cross-attack!" said Morty, somewhat enthusiastically.

"Dude, are you high?" asked Rick.

"Yeah, how'd you know?" said Morty.

"I can tell, duh. And also I'm a little high myself. But yeah, you know, Morty, if there's any movie to watch high, it's this one."

"Yeah."

They continued watching the movie. They lay back into the seats and chuckled as the big climax came: The Two Brothers went into a cave on the moon, and beat up the Dark Wizard that was orchestrating all the stuff: the Meteor, the Tornado, the Cat Monsters, the Mexican Armada, the Old Ladies, everything. Once the Dark Wizard was beaten, the moon exploded and the Two Brothers flew back down to Earth in a Tomate III-class Sombrero-ship. Then, they went up to their girlfriend, and made out with her in a Two-Brothers Triangle-Kiss. Then, they went to a busted-open part of a skyscraper and looked at all the destruction, like the piles of cat corpses, the crashed Mexican Sombrero-Ships, and the spilled guts of the exploded moon, which were glittering blue and purple and orange in the evening sky as they settled into a ring around the Earth.

"What have we become, Morty? We're sitting at home, watching something that was like, some side-gag from a long time ago that wasn't all that important to our character arcs. And we're watching the edited-for-TV version, too. They didn't even show the Two-Brothers Spitroast scene, where they spitroasted their girlfriend," said Rick.

"Well, you know, Rick, after all the shit you put us through, I just wanna relax, you know?" answered Morty.

"I mean, I guess. Sorta like that time we did the toxic sludge thing, right?"

"Not really. I mean, I just feel like we've done so much stuff, that there's not much else we can do that could actually qualify as 'interesting', you know, Rick?"

"I totally get you, Morty."

"Hey Rick, what about the multiverse, man? Got any friends left out there, man?"

"I dunno, Morty, I guess I could try to hook up with some of my old buddies from the multiverse. Also why'd you just say 'man'?"

''Cuz I'm high on weed, man!"

"Really. I mean, you didn't say it before. It's just kinda funny is all. That you're talking like you're high just now, but not before, 'man'!"

"Okay, Rick. Damn, even when we're on weed, you're still busting my balls."

"Yeah, well at least I'm not licking them, amirite?"

"Um, I guess?"

"Yeah, I'm gonna go now. We'll see how this goes. Best case scenario, I happen to find a bunch of other multiverse-proficient teenagers that you can hang out with! People who can relate to your experiences of going on science-fiction or fantasy adventures!" said Rick. He took out his portal gun.

"That seems oddly specific, Rick," mused Morty.

"Whatever, Morrtyy," answered Rick, as he opened a portal and went through.
