OMG I was going to leave this as a oneshot but I just found THIS art/Rick-and-Morty-Fake-Screencap-Here-449695959 last night and decided to hurry up and do another chapter (if it gets me more pics!)
omg she looks JUST like what I imagine Mary to look like! And baby rick is adorable
ooOOoo
"Fuck!" Was the loud shout that Rick was awoken to, shortly followed by other curse words and the all too familiar racket of Mary throwing things around the room.
"W-W-w-what what what's wrong?" He shot up in bed. As soon as he opened his eyes to survey the situation, however, he regretted it. The light burned his sensitive eyes and he shut them quickly.
"I'm late!" Mary said breathlessly, pulling her clothes on, "Did you turn off my alarm!?"
"W-w-what's the buh-big deal anyway, Mary?" Rick asked, rubbing his eyes, "a-a-a-all you guh-got goin' on today is sc-school,"
"ugh! RICK!" She groans.
"W-w-w-what d-d-do ya want from me, Mary, huh? S-s-so I have tuh-to get up at an ungodly hour jus-jus-just so YOU can-can subject your mind to tha-tha-that brainwashing? I don't thuh-think so, buh-buh-babe-baby,"
"You can NOT be serious!" Mary shouts, pulling her shoes on her feet, "You just roll back over and go to sleep after I get up anyway!"
"That sounds like-like-like a great idea. Yuh-you really are-are earnin' that PHD there, Mary," Rick groaned before flopping back down on the bed. He pulled the sheets up around him and squirmed himself into his filthy bed. No sooner had he shut his eyes that the blanket was ripped off of him. He looked up only to see Mary walking out of his bedroom with the blanket in tow.
"H-Hey Mary! Mary! W-what're ya doin' Mary!" He jumped up, running down the hall after her, stark naked. The girl in question walked right out the front door and dropped the blanket in the yard and just kept walking on her way to class.
"Y-Y-Ya think you won, doncha Mary!? WELL YOU HAVEN'T!"
He could see her shoulders twitch from giggling which only fuiled that passion in him to get even with her, "I MEAN it, Mary!"
"SHUTUP!" A neighbor shouted at him.
"Fuh-fuck you, Pal!"
ooOOoo
Mary took a deep breath. It was her first day of teaching a class as part of her graduate program. She hadn't been this nervous since her very first day of medschool and she was just about to throw up. Rick had been little to no help, despite her trying to get a little bit of encouragement from him all week. But the man was about as sensitive and supportive as he was fluffy.
She shook herself a little. After all, it's not like they were an item. They were just... friends. Friends with VERY good sexual chemistry. It wasn't either of their jobs to...
Her watch beeped suddenly, indicating it was time to go inside her classroom.
Her classroom.
Ok, so not all th ebutterflies in her stomach were bad.
Psyching herself up, she took a big breath.
You GOT This, girl. You're beyond ready for anything those kids can dish out. After all, You are, without doubt, the smartest person in that room.
And with that, she walked inside her room with a big smile on her face,
"Hello, everyone," She said as brightly as possible. The room was packed with young college students that all started to hush as she strolled in. She made her way to the black board where she wrote her name and the class title, "My name is Mary McFly and this is Introduction to the Human Cardiovascular System. So, before we begin, can anyone tell me what the main purpose of the circulatory system is?"
"I-It's a-a-a-actually made up of three independent-nt-nt systems tha-that-that work together, Professor," Mary dropped her chalk and spun around only to see the one face she dreaded, Rick Sanchez, reclined in his desk with her feet propped up and his hands behind his head, " Which are the heart, cardiovascular, lungs pulmonary, and arteries, veins, coronary and portal vessels which are all called systemic,"
The stare down was on and the challenge had been accepted. She stood there, her mouth open in shock and he just grinned back at her.
"But I-I-I'm sure y-you were guh-gonna cover that, right Prof?"
Don't let him get to you, girl. He's in robotics. There's no way he knows more about Cardiology than you. There is NO way. He's just trying to pysch you out.
"That... is absolutely right," Mary says, clearing her throat. She returned to the chalk board to jot down as she spoke, "In the average human, about 2,000 gallons of blood travel daily through about 50,000 miles of blood vessels-,"
"It's more like 60,000," Rick interjected. Mary's chalk froze for a second, before she continued.
"An average adult has 5 to 6 of blood, which is made up of plasma, red blood cells, and white blood cells.-"
"AND platelets. Don't forget platelets,"
"In addition to blood, the circulatory system moves lymph, which is a clear fluid that helps rid the body of unwanted material," She stopped for a second, looked over her shoulder at him for a second. He shrugged at her and she grumbled, "Aren't you going to correct anything?"
"W-what are you talkin about? I-I-I'm just here to luh-learn,"
Mary frowned and took a breath before continuing, "The heart, blood, and blood vessels make up the cardiovascular component of the circulatory system. It includes the pulmonary circulation, a ring through the lungs where blood is oxygenated,"
"It's more of a "loop" really," Rick says, causing Mary to about face once again, this time with rage in her eyes.
"Get out!"
"What's th-the problem, Mary? I-I-I'm just tryin' to further m-m-my education,"
"You have no business to be here! You're not even enrolled!"
"Oh really? Check your ruh-roster, Teach,"
Mary scrambled to find the clipboard which contained the list of all her students. She flipped to the last page and scanned her eyes down to the S's... it was then that she found the cursed name. Rick Sanchez.
That son of a...
"OOOH Snap," Rick exclaimed, "Now why don't you stop waistin' all our money and time and start teachin? I mean tha-that is what we're payin' for, right?"
Mary's frown deepened, "How can I teach you if you keep interrupting? You do it again and I'll just kick you out,"
"O-O-Oh What? You gonna kick me out for? For knowing more than YOU do about a subject you've been in school for for 6 years, Mary?" Rick defended himself, sitting straight up in his desk.
"You do NOT know more about cardiology than I do,"
"I do, too,"
"What are Sphygmomanometers and stethoscopes used for?"
"Psh. Easy. measuring blood pressure and a pulse meter can monitor heart rate, rhythm and dropped beats. Duh,"
"Describe an aortic aneurysm,"
"When an aorta is damaged and starts to bulge or eventually tear, which can cause severe internal bleeding. Next,"
"What's the average resting heart rate of a adult male?"
"About 75 beats per minute, the same rate as a sheep,"
"What... really? A sheep?"
"Yes, Mary. And since I've gotten you to break out of this little popquiz session. I have a few questions for you- Y-You've heard of Hypoplastic left heart syndrome?"
"You know I do! It's a rare congenital heart defect in which the left ventricle of the heart is severely underdeveloped," Mary boasted. She turned to her class, "My team has been studying it for years and we're nearing completion on a cure,"
The students clapped slightly, probably mostly out of confusion.
"Oh, I'm-I'm-I'm sorry, what was that Mary? There's no cure? Well find a-a-a new hobby, babe! Cos I CURED IT!" He took out a large stack of papers and flopped them on her desk, "Buh-bam Biiiiitch!"
Mary was in shock. No way. No freaking way did that pompous ASS HLHS on his own! She shuffled through the papers, it all made sense... well... what she could make out, anyway. His handwriting WAS atrocious.
"No... way..."
"Hell yeah, Ba-a-aby! All it takes is a few steps and a good ol' fashioned Palliative surgery,"
"But-but-but you... how could you... WHEN did you...!?"
Rick shrugged, "Got bored last weekend. Saw your notes, thought, hey, I got some time to kill, may as well finish your crossword puzzle,"
"But..." She was in absolute shock.
Rick turned to his classmates, "Y-Y-Ya see this, chumps? Y-you're wastin yer time with this shit! Y-Y-Ya wanna g-g-go solve the worlds problems! Just go fuh-fuckin' DO IT!"
The entire classroom erupted in cheers, and Rick waved and waved and soaked it all in. That was when Mary grabbed him by his sleeve and dragged him out to the hall. He didn't seem phased, just kept waving and smiling. She shut the classroom door and slammed him against the wall, he was still laughing heartily.
"Y-Y-ya hear that Mary? G-g-guess I Was right all al-" Once againt he was shut up by Mary's mouth colliding with his in a very passionate kiss. In fact, it took him so off guard he nearly lost his footing. She broke away from the kiss only to look at his dumbfounded face.
Ah... Power restored.
She clutched a fist full of his shirt and lowered him down to her eye level before growling out in his ear, "Janitor's closet. NOW."
Rick's voice actually cracked, "Y-Y-Yes ma'am..."
