Chapter 2: Second Chances
Morty
He sat there, still panting from his sprinting. He wasn't really thinking about the other teenagers staring at him, some laughing, some concerned, some mocking. He and Her just kinda... stared. For a good 5 seconds at least until Rick pulled him up. "Shit Morty. Were in d-deep water. Of course this had to be your gym tea*EUgH*cher." Morty was nervous about his parents finding out, although he was more excited that he got to see the girl again.
He was until Rick pulled him out of the gym class. "W-w-wait Rick!" Morty stuttered, panicked. He needed, well wanted to talk to her! At least know her name- he caught himself in thought. Why did he keep obsessing over her? Its not like they even knew each other. But he just really wanted to know her name... And talk to her more... Maybe they could be friends? "WHAT Morty? If you don't want your parents to find out abo*EuGH*ut this we need to hurry and 'convince' the principal not to tell them." Morty knew Rick meant he was gonna use some kind of gadget to hypnotize his principal. Or something like that. "Can it wait Rick? I-I wanted to..." He trailed off. Morty suddenly realized Rick would make fun of him or shoot him down if he told him what was going on. Well, what he hoped was gonna go on, but as he was dragged alongside Rick to the office he knew he blew his SECOND chance of really meeting that girl. Crap.
Rick
He listened to Morty ramble for a second, clearly wanting something, until he stopped right when he was about to reveal why he was SO desperate to stay a second longer. "What MORTY? What was so important in that gym class? Y-y-you think it would have been b*eUGh*etter to try and hypnotize the gym teacher? Well kinda too late for that." Although Rick really did wonder what Morty wanted. "Y-yeah I guess your right." Said Morty. Rick noticed that his tone was like that when they were in the ship too... almost disappointed? He knew Morty wouldn't be that disappointed just 'cause Rick decided to hypnotize the principal instead of the gym teacher. "WHAT Morty? W-whats this pickle up your ass you gotta tell me?" Rick huffed. "W-well t-t-there's just s-someone I bumped i-into in the halls y-yesterday and we got a-along well a-and I just wanted to-" Morty continued to ramble on and on. Rick listened, clearly not buying it. Something was missing. He knew Morty stuttered more when he was nervous or lying. Probably both. "Y-yeah yeah Morty nice story but why do you need to talk to them now? I'm sure you can-"
Rick stopped. He realized that was an all girls gym class, high schools separate gym classes now.
So this 'person' Morty was rambling on about was 100% a GIRL. It all fit perfectly now. The nervous stuttering, desperation, and overall awkwardness. "*UuRP* Jesus Morty your strung up on some girl that I doubt you talked to for more than 10 seconds." Rick swigged his flask. He looked over at Morty, who took his normal self conscious pose. His hand on his opposite arm, hunched over, looking down. Rick hated when he did that, because it was annoying! NOT because it made him feel bad... "Ugh MORTY I d-didin't mean you can't get girls or, THAT one at least, but is it really that important right now?" Rick rolled his eyes at his grandson. "N-no I guess your right." said Morty. They rushed into the office. "Morty- m-my grandson needs to speak with the principal." Rick said, out of breath. The secretary took her time in looking over at the two, clearly annoyed. "Yesss, I got a call. First door on your right." She went right back to typing. "Oh, and he'd like to see him alone, please." She looked back at them accusingly. Rick and Morty looked at each other. "Uhhh g*UrP*ive us a second" said Rick as he pulled Morty just outside the door. He shoved a small, pen like object in Morty's hands. "Ok Morty when you get in there your just gonna flash this little thing, and make sure you dont see it. The principal should basically do anything you want. Make sure you say you want me to be able to pick you up any time, got it?" Morty looked confused at the gadged. "What?! Rick?! I dont know what I'm doing! How do I not look at it?" "Morty you dipshit just close your eyes! Or look away! I don't care! It will just make her really easy to convince for a bit ok?" Rick spat as he pushed Morty back into the room and into the principals office.
Morty
The door slammed behind him.
He stood frozen for a second, before Principal Vagina turned in his chair and said "Welcome Morty! Take a seat." Principals always scared Morty, even though Principal Vagina was mostly nice. "So your in here today because-"
Fwish.
Morty spared no time in listening to the usual lecture. He had pressed the button as instructed and sealed his eyes closed. He peered open, only to see the principal frozen. A few seconds later he looked down. "Morty! How ya doinn? What would you like todehh?" He was talking, even slurring a little. Like he was high. "U-um hi principal V. I'm just h-here to talk ab-bout my grandpa picking me up." Morty quickly stuffed the 'pen' back in his pocket. He was surprised he did it right. "Ohh yeah! Your parenth don't really waaaan't him pickin' you up. You talked to 'em about it?" Morty got more nervous by the second. He hoped nobody saw him like that, it looked like he was drugged. "Y-yeah... They say from now on he can pick me up whenever b-because... He... H-home schools me sometimes?" The principal was too hypnotized to notice Morty's uncertainty and responded "OF COURSSSE Mohrtyy my man. Ill make a note to AAALLLL your teacherthhh" The principal swooped up the speaker and announced "HEyyoo students, this is your principal Vaginaaaa. Let it be known that Morty can always be picketh up by his grandpaaa." *Click* Morty basically died right there in his chair. He was pretty sure thats not what Rick wanted him to do. "O-ok thats all, t-t-thanks principal V" Morty said panicked as he rushed out of the room.
The secretary immediatly questionned him. "What went on in there?! What happened to the Principa-" Morty was quick to react in flashing the pen again, accidentally hitting a few other teachers in the room. It couldn't hurt, they'd probably forget it. He rushed out to Rick. "What the fuck MORTY! thats not what I me*EauGH*nt!" Rick was angry but also nervous it seemed. The principals announcement was definatly suspicious. "I-I know Rick! He did it h-himself. Let's just g-g-get out of here!" Morty said as they began to rush for the doors. When they got back Rick fumbled his pockets for the fruit. He fumbled, and searched. "Shit shit shit." He muttered to himself. "Dont tell me Rick..." Morty sighed. "Well whatever I didn't fuckin need em any*EuRGH*way." Morty sighed. He guessed either way the day would have been shitty. At least he didnt have to go to 5th period English. He hoped he would see the girl tomorrow, but doubted he would. He knew this time he got lucky, although he did realize he now knew that the girl had gym 4th period. Morty stopped himself there. He wasn't a stalker... but it was good information to know.
Rick
Rick eyed him as he left the garage. Rick knew he was still thinking about that stupid girl. He doubted it would go too far, seeing as how he and Morty would go back to their usual daily adventures now that the taking him out of school thing was solved. So he wouldn't even see the girl. He would just forget. Right? Rick swigged his flask. Stupid teenagers in that stupid school with their stupid attractions. He tried to tell himself Morty would always be his sidekick, but he secretly worried that Morty would in fact make friends or maybe even meet a GIRL who would get in the way of their adventures. Whatever, if it happened Rick would find a way to stop it.
Heres chapter 2! Id love to see some reviews and hear what you guys think. Ill probably update this pretty often, like at least once a day for now seeing as its summer and I got diddly shit to do. Also trying to make sure this isn't some basic ass story... Don't worry from here on things will start happening. ;)
