"Subject seems to be female. Age 17. Brown hair…" A pause as he opens her eyelids and shines a blinding light into them. "Purple.. Eyes. Huh." Uses a scanner to see her insides waving from feet to head. "All organs seem to be functional." Focusing on the brain. "Except this one… go figure." He shoves the head of the scanner against her skull roughly pushing her hair away. Revealing a large scar. "What's this?"

A pounding on the door.

"Buh- what? Who- who is it?" He says. Hurrying to shove the table with the body back into the the the lab below.

"Rick it's me." Morty says opening the door slightly, finding a sliding lock on the door. "L-let me in Rick."

Hearing the table crash down below Rick shrugs closing the surface door to the lab and hurrying to the door.

"What was that Rick? W-what are you doing in there?"

Rick yanks the door open as Morty falls to the floor his foot stepping into a bucket and getting lodged. Falling flat on his face.

"Oww." Morty groans and rolls over rubbing his side. "W-what the hell Rick? What are you doing in here?"

"Way to go Morty. You're stepping on our next adventure. P-prrrobably crushing and killing millions of people."

"Wha-"

"Yeah Morty, that blue swirly stuff you've got your foot in was a massive colony of Gloopains from the Glopor Galaxy of dimension 413. Oh geeze Morty there were hundreds of families, a whole civilization."

Morty scrambles away from the bucket eyes wide in shock.

"Oh God, oh no. Oh Rick… I… I didn't mean to. I-I-I"

Grabbing Morty's hand Rick pulls him up and laughs. "Haha. Morty I'm joking. I just threw up last night and that bucket was the only thing I could find."

Morty stands, staring blankly his shoe now covered in Rick's vomit.

"Come on M-mmorty. Let's get breakfast we gotta make a run to the Andromeda Galaxy

To get your Gwedolyn repaired." Rick says.

Kicking his shoe off Morty blushes rubbing his neck. "Oh geeze, Rick. I told you it wasn't that impor-"

"Please Morty. Everyone knows why your showers takes two hours, and why you've suddenly started taking them 3 times a day. It's cutting into our exploring time." Interrupting him Rick pushes Morty through the entryway of the garage and slams the door.

"Good morning Summer, Beth." Rick kisses Beth on the head pulling up a seat at the kitchen table.

"Good morning, Rick." Jerry announces loudly puffing his chest out slightly.

Picking up the newspaper Rick opens it glacing with disinterest. Pulling up a chair Morty sits beside rick grabbing a pancake from the plate in the middle.

"H-hey dad. I was hoping I could talk to you a-about somethi-" He starts

"Not now Morty." Jerry interrupts. "I said good morning, Rick." He repeats a little louder glaring at the newspaper in Rick's hand.

Rick sighs and lowers the paper. "Beth, honey, how was your night last night?"

"Oh it was fine." She replies with a smile placing a fresh plate of pancakes in front of him before taking a seat.

Summer storms in the room grabbing a pancake and stuffing it in her face. She hastily pours herself a glass of milk and chugs it down.

"Geeze Summer, what's got you in a hurry?" Rick says between bites.

"School stuff. No time to explain. Gotta go. Bye Mom, Rick, Morty." She huffs nearly sprinting out of the kitchen and out the front door.

Grumbling quietly to himself Jerry stabs into his pancakes. "Wow it's like I don't even live her-"

"So, what are your plans today Rick?" Beth asks looking adoringly to her father.

"Morty and I are gonna take off after lunch. Lots of things to collect, eh Morty?" He replies nudging Morty with a wink.

"Oh.. yeah." Morty blushes a dark red looking down to focus on his own meal. "Tons… tons of stuff you know. Adventuring and stuff."

"Oh Rick, I was hoping Morty could go to school today. His teachers have been threatening to kick him out completely." She says

"Great, school is for suckers anyway." Rick smiles.

"That's crazy he can't do that." Jerry starts, almost whining he looks to Beth. "He, he can't do that. School is important part of a growing boy's life."

Turning her head Beth sighs, "Well I have been thinking about signing him up for home school."

"IS EVERYONE GOING TO IGNORE ME TODAY?" Jerry finally yells slamming his fist into the table.

"It's bad enough you let the dog sit at the table, shouldn't we shut it up when it barks?" Rick retorts with a smirk.

Taking the bait Jerry stands up, his chair scraping the floor and falling with a bang. "Now look here Rick, you might live here but I am the man-"

"No, YOU look." Rick says loudly, standing up to his full height. Standing taller than him Jerry quickly shrinks back. "She may have married you but just like a dog, Jerry, your balls were taken away a long time ago. In fact I'm not even sure if you ever had them. So how about you make everyone's day a little easier and go sit and do nothing like you always do."

Jerry looks to Beth again and then to Morty. They both glance away trying to ignore the problem in the room.

"Well… well maybe I will!" Jerry says, turning to leave the room.

"Great, finally." Rick says.

"Dad wait…" Morty reaches out for him.

"Don't bother Morty." Rick says "We've got bigger things to do."
