I do not own Rick and Morty.

Enjoy!

Jerry was startled to wake up to classical music, only to blink and stretch when he saw a scene that was clearly not his sad and lonely looking apartment.

For one thing, it had far more space than his apartment and there was more thought put into the design.

That's right.

He had moved into a new apartment that was far better than his old one and was more expensive.

He couldn't believe that he now lived in a place like this and he smiled and got up.

He went to the bathroom that was down the hall and was far larger than his compressed one in his old apartment and far cleaner too.

He brushed, shaved and showered before putting a towel around himself and walked to the stairs before making his way to the kitchen where he looked at the stocked fridge and began to cook egg's and make some toast for himself.

He wanted to sit in the kitchen but decided to eat in front of the television and watch the news's since it was a free channel.

This was the life.

He finished his food and switched the television off before making his way back upstairs and getting dressed before grabbing his briefcase before getting his house and car keys from the rack near the door and walking out to his car.

He got in and drove to Work whistling.

He walked into his work room with joy and everybody looked at him as if he had gone insane, but he had been coming to work happy for the past few days now.

He sat down and got a text from his new phone that was linked to his bank account.

'1,200 dollar has been deposited into your bank account as Commission due to your good work" read the message.

He blinked.

So, this was the clause in the contract about if he did a good enough job he got paid extra.

No wonder so many people wanted this job.

Who know that being so boring and having nothing better to do would pay off?

Suddenly he looked at Samantha and waved.

She was stunned before waving back and giving him a wink.

Jerry cheeks flamed.

#A Day Later#

"Why do we have to go!" Summer said, in her new jeans as she and Morty walked down the street to their Father's apartment block. "Every time we go, it's always so sad and painful. I would much rather be on an adventure with grandpa Rick"

"I told you, we're doing this for Dad. He might kill himself if we don't at least show our faces" Morty said, even though he too would rather be on an adventure with Rick right now or spend time with their mom grocery shopping.

They went up the steps as Summer said. "Fine. Let's get this over and done with" getting out her phone and texting.

They went up to their dad's door and Morty banged on it.

They were surprised to see a large woman open the door.

"What?" She said, while eating a whole pizza in her mouth.

Summer looked up and her eyes widened.

"U-Um, we're looking for our dad. He lives in this apartment" Morty said, while Summer was wondering since when did their dad have such a friend.

"There is no man who lives in this apartment. It's just me" She said, and it was now time for Morty eyes to widen. "I moved in here a week ago. It was just what I needed"

"...Urm, we'll. Do you know where we can find Jerry Smith?" Morty said, had their dad been kicked out?

"Maybe, ask the landlady" She said, before saying. "The person who had this apartment last was apparently very quick to leave this place"

Both Summer and Morty looked at each other before the woman closed the door.

"So... dad, got kicked out?" Summer said, "And here I thought dad was finally doing something with his life" but she still got these awesome jeans.

"Summer, don't say that. Let's just talk to the landlady" Morty said, he too was thinking that their dad may be homeless and he sent them that large amount of money just to make them believe he was doing great.

Summer let out a huge sigh before dragging her feet because she would rather go home rather than find out what happened to Dad.

They walked down the steps to the bottom floor and knocked on a door that was blue and nicer than the rest.

"Yes?" Said, a woman who looked middle aged and was dressed far better than her residence.

"Hi. We're looking for our dad, Jerry Smith." Morty began. "He used to live here"

"Jerry Smith...doesn't ring a bell" She said, people came and go all the time to the point she didn't know who was in what room right now.

"How about a man who is medium height. Skinny. Has hair that looks like he's trying to hide a large blad spot and he looks like he's about to burst out crying at any moment?" Summer said, imputing in.

"Summer!" Morty said.

"I remember him!" Suddenly the women said, getting them to look at him. "He was a wreck when he moved in and I could hear him crying in the shower." before she said. "But then one day he must have pulled himself together because he suddenly went out for work and drove a car. He moved out a week ago stating that he found this really nice place. Payed the rent for this month and next month, then left"

Both Morty and Summer were stunned.

Their father did not get kicked out but left of his own accord, pay two months' rent and then left in a car?

Suddenly Summer was interested in what her father was doing right now.

"I'm calling Dad." Summer said, as turned around and Morty followed behind her.

Jerry was going to the toilet, when his pocket started ringing.

He put his hands in his pocket and realised it was his old phone and was stunned to find it was his daughter Summer calling him.

"Hello?" He said, going to a more private section of the stall in the toilets.

"Dad, where are you right now?" She said, "Me and Morty are outside your apartment and the Landlady just told us you moved out"

"Wait. Today was the day you two were supposed to visit?" He said, smacking his hand on his face. "I completely forgot about it. I was meaning to give you two my new address but I've just being so busy lately that It just slipped my mind"

Summer was stunned on the other end.

Dad?

"It's 4:15 so I can leave to pick you guys up and we can head to my new apartment together" He said, before saying. "I'll be right there" then he hung up on her.

He hung actually hung up on her.

#Jerry old apartment#

Summer put down the phone when she heard the line go dead, her reaction was the same as her mother's.

"So, what did Dad, say?" Morty said.

"...He, said that he would pick us up to take us to his new apartment and we should wait" She said, leaving Morty stunned.

They both sat down on grass for 15 minutes before a square black car drove up and they were stunned to see their father get out of it.

"Kids?" He said, seeing them and both Summer and Morty stood up.

Both of them were stunned to see him in his work suit and holding his work briefcase.

"Dad?" Summer said, it had been a long time since she saw him dress like this.

"We'll, you two look like you grown since the last time I saw you both so hop in" He said, and they followed him slowly into the car.

Summer sat beside her father and Morty sat behind, they were both stunned by the feeling of Leather that brought them back to reality.

Jerry sat in the driver seat and turned on the car and began to drive away.

"...So, how is your mother?" Jerry said, he sounded like he didn't care, but he did.

He really did.

A Lot.

But he wasn't going to show how much he wanted to get on his knees and beg them to talk to their mother to take him back.

"S-She's doing good" Summer said, before she said. "How did you get a car?"

"Came with my new job" Came his uncaring tone.

"Oh" She said.

Both Summer and Morty found that he was driving out of town and into a town they didn't know.

"Where are we going?" Morty said.

"To my new apartment" Jerry said, stunning them before he parked at a really nice modern looking house and got out.

Both Summer and Morty looked at each as Jerry fiddled with the key's in his pocket and went to the front door, to their surprise the key actually opened the front door.

Jerry went in and his kids followed after him.

"Woah" Both Summer and Morty said, as they got a look at the inside of the house, Jerry locked the door behind him.

"I don't have proper cable yet but the WIFI is up" Came Jerry uncaring tone.

"Is that a swimming pool at the back?" Came Summer voice, before saying. "Can we swim in it?"

"Sure. When I was picking an apartment, I wanted there to be a pool" He said,

"What the-HOW!?" Morty said.

"I decided to stop crying in the shower and get paid for what I'm really good at" Jerry said, before he went to a wooden stand and look through the mails, that had been redirected at him.

"Junk mail" He said. "Junk Mail. Invite to a convention. Ooh" so he finally got to a point where he was invited to another place.

Summer rushed to the pool and wanted to get in but she soon realised that she had no bathing suit but there was a floaty which she could use.

"Morty, if I know you were coming, I would have brought a game console on something" Jerry said. "But you can go on the internet or something using your phone. I'll email you both the WiFI password."

"Are you serious?" Morty said.

"A hundred percent. I got work to do" Jerry said, walking up the stairs and going down the corridor to a study room.

Both Summer and Morty were shocked at his new place, the pool and the WIFI.

What they thought would be a painful visit became a shocking and amazing visit.

It finally became 5 and Jerry appeared and said.

"We'll, it's time for the two of you to go" He said.

"Wait. What?" Both Morty and Summer said.

"If I allow you to stay, your mother will be breathing down my neck." He said, before he said. "And then Rick may appear and trash this place while bring you back"

Both Summer and Morty was pressured out of the house and they were taken back into the car while Jerry closed the door behind him.

He drove all the way to the Smith's home where both Summer and Morty got out.

"Aren't you coming in, dad?" Summer said, and Jerry wanted to frown.

Now she wanted him to see him come in?

"It would be awkward if your mother sees me" Jerry said, pushing down the feelings before he began to pull out and say. "Buy kids"

"Bye, dad" Both Morty and Summer said, before he drove away and disappeared completely.

Both Morty and Summer ran back into the house and shut the door behind them just in time to see the Mother putting down the plates for dinner with Grandpa no doubt in the garage and drunk.

"So, how was Dad's?" Their mother said, asking a simple question.

However, Beth did not expect the sudden burst out of words from both of her children that she couldn't make sense off.

"Both of you slow down!" She said.

They stopped talking and took a breather before saying.

"WE THINK DAD'S RICH!"

Her eyes widened as she said. "What?"

"Dad, has this new apartment and it's really nice" Summer said, "He has this backyard pool and I floated on top of it"

"He told me that when I visit him next time, he would have the latest console with a bunch of games on it just for me to play" Morty said, before he said. "I was on his couch... and it felt so much nicer than ours that I couldn't believe it."

They couldn't believe that, that was really their father's place.

Beth was stunned, her kids wouldn't lie to her about something like this.

From the sounds of it, that money Jerry gave to the family wasn't a fluke.

Jerry, who she begged to get a job time and time again, now had a job and he was doing really well.

He was doing better than her.

And scene!

Next chapter, Beth is faced with the reality that her husband who she kicked out may have bloomed without her and tries to call him up, only for the call to go to voicemail every time. Review/fav and follow!
