A/N: Yo dudes, I'm writing something new and out of my comfort zone. I shall need to ask your forgiveness if anyone is OOC if they are just shout at me and I will fix it in the next chapter. Anyways as the Rick and Morty style goes this fic will have curse words and violence so I am warning you ahead of time if any of those things make you uncomfortable. So without further ado I shall give the obvious disclaimer that I do not own Rick and Morty or Gravity Falls. See you next chapter my awesome peeps ^_^


It was any typical day at the Smith's home. Beth was drinking, Summer was texting on her phone and Jerry was playing his balloon pop game on his phone. Morty and Rick were in the garage as always and they were repairing the portal gun. It had broken on their last adventure thanks to Morty not being able to catch it while being attacked by Gazorporzorps.

"Morty you really screwed up on that last adventure." Rick bluntly spoke to Morty without care how it made the boy feel. Rick Sanchez was more of a guy that says things first and gives no care later.

"W-wow Rick. You always blame me don't you? Do you ever stop to ever think about if it's your fault for a change?" The young boy protested, he always hated that about Rick. He was always being put down like this and it really got to him.

"Morty listen, I am the smartest man on Earth, wait scratch that the entire Galaxy. I don't make mistakes. The only mistake I ever made was letting your mother marry Jerry." Rick hated Jerry with a passion. He always did, Jerry was stupid more than stupid actually. He was so stupid you could upload his entire brain onto a Tamagotchi device and it still had room for more things.

"Don't talk about my father like that. Y-you always think you can do whatever and say whatever but you hurt people. Y-you hurt mom, Summer and even me." Morty wished Rick knew just how much effect he had on other people.

"Like I give a shit. Everyone gets offended so easily Morty. Life is like a YouTube comment section, everyone complains with each other for just having an opinion. I'm that one guy that just states his opinion not caring what others think and get attacked. If anything I'm the victim here." Rick could care less as he was more focused on fixing his portal gun and thankfully he had managed to do it. Before he could try it out there was a knock on the garage door and it opened revealing Beth holding what looked like a letter in her hands.

"So, dad. A letter came for you in the mail and I know you don't like being disturbed but I thought you wanted to read it." Beth was surprised when the letter came in, usually nothing comes in the post for Rick. Mainly about him doing things that should not be done but it was something either Rick took care of or Beth did it. She could not risk losing her father again.

"Just throw it away." Rick could not be bothered to read any letters, why couldn't they just have talking letters in this dimension? Oh wait he knew why, because humanity is just an evolution of apes, none able to have much of an intelligence that could match his own.

"Dad it's addressed to you and the envelope says it's important. You can't just throw it away, look how about I read it to you." Beth was standing her ground. She did love her father a lot but there were straws as to what she tolerates and him ignoring what could be an important message isn't one of them. She opened the letter but just looked at it, it was all numbers and dashes. The letter read:

"It's all numbers and dashes." She didn't know what to do at all, how could she? Rick sighed as he put down the screwdriver and took the letter off Beth and as the smartest guy in the galaxy he knew what this was.

"It's a code, a simple one too. Really even Morty could understand this if I taught him." Rick stated bluntly as the two protested about his insult to Morty's intelligence. He placed the letter on the table and took out a spare pen and paper and wrote down the translation. The translation was:

'Rick,

I know we may not see eye to eye on many things but as hard as it to write you this we have three things in common. One being that we are both scientists, you may have more technological advances however I feel as if we are on par on some levels. The other thing is that we both are wanted by the galactic federation. I have found a place where they cannot detect, it is perfectly federation proof and lastly we both have one common enemy. Bill Cipher.

I have defeated him but only temporarily. I know he will come back some day and that is why I have to swallow my pride and ask you for help. If you don't help me Bill will take over the world and I assure you it will not be in any of our favours as it would attract the federation to this planet.

Please consider this, if you decide to help I am in my lab there have been changes because of my brother but don't get thrown off,

Ford.'

Rick groaned as he read this, he did not want to be involved in this however the thing about Bill was that no matter where Rick could run to, Bill would always follow. Rick knew he had to help his former partner while they were both on the run from the galactic federation but he hated helping people. It also meant he would have to bring up more of his past to his family and that was something he wanted to avoid to the best he could.

"Pack up Morty we're going somewhere." Rick was always one to give little explanation, Morty was used to this but Beth was not.

"Hold on Dad, we are meant to be doing something as a family. You can't just take Morty somewhere on a dangerous adventure God knows where." She was putting her foot down now, she was sick of her father dragging Morty away from them, from school as well and just doing things that would just endanger his life. Rick sighed loudly and thought of the best way around this, as much as he hated it he would need to bring them along. It would be the option that would give him less of a headache in trying to convince them all to let him bring Morty.

"Fine then how about you pack as well. We're all going." Rick spoke as he took a swig of his drink from his flask.

"What! That's not what I meant, I don't want you to throw all our lives in danger!" She raised her voice to her father.

"Calm down, it won't be dangerous. It's just some trip to somewhere in America to help someone I know." He made it seem casual so she had little to argue against and it turns out his tactic worked.

"I'm so sorry, I didn't know you were going to help someone. I'll get everything ready." Beth walked off and so had Morty, they both had packing to do. Rick hated this, he was going to be reunited with someone he had thought he would never see again and now not only did he have Morty who was dumb enough on his adventure but the whole family was. Including Jerry. Rick went back to the table and picked up his screwdriver and had finished repairing the portal gun.
