Morty looked behind his shoulder to see their pursuers were not far behind, in fact, none of them (except for the boy) seemed to be breathing as they ran. If it hadn't been for the head start they got, they might have caught them easily.
Rick and Morty managed to make it to the town before the colorful guys caught up with them. After running through the town for a bit to make sure they weren't followed, they ran into a building with the sign "Fish Stew Pizza" hanging on top of it. They both took a seat at the table and caught their breath.
"Oh geez Rick, why is it any time we go on these adventures we always end up running from some weird aliens, except this time they were just weird multi- colored people." Morty said between breathes.
"No, no you were *burp* you were right the first time Morty, I'm pretty sure those guys were aliens, I've seen colorful things with gemstones on them before M- *buuuurrrp* Morty, and if those guys are the kinds of beings I think they are, then they're definitely not from earth… Not naturally at least." Rick said well studying the menu on the table.
"You know Rick you seem to know a lot about this dimension, wha- what's that about?" Morty said as he looked over his menu.
"Well I've-" Rick began to reply before he was stopped by another voice.
"What'll ya'll have to order?" said a teenage dark- skinned girl who'd walked up to their table.
"Oh uh." Rick said taking one last look at his menu. "We'll- We'll have a large pepperoni pizza"
"Alright, it'll be out in a few minutes." she said jotting down the order and returning to the kitchen.
"Uh, Rick, shouldn't we get out of here, I- I mean they could still be looking for us."
"That's exactly why we can't get out of here Morty, if any of these people saw me shoot the wall with a portal they'd probably freak out and one of um might follow us in or something, we- we don't wanna attract unnecessary attention to ourselves Morty, that'd make easier for those guys to find us Morty! Look, how about we eat dinner here and then we'll leave. I mean i- it's Jerry's night to cook and I don't want to spend the night vomiting". Rick said before taking a long sip from his flask.
"That's a good point Rick, but with a name like Fish Stew Pizza I- I'm not gonna get my hopes up." Replied Morty.
"Yeah, I don't know what the story is behind that name… Anyway Morty, to answer your question from before regarding my knowledge about this place before I was so ru- *buuurrrp* rudely interrupted by you and that girl, It's because I've been here before. I come here every once in a while because the stuff that goes on here is usually pretty interesting. I never stay for too long or talk to anybody, that's why I said I don't know much about pe-*buuurrrp* people here. This may be the first time I've actually been in this town-".
Rick stopped when he noticed a large man in the corner wearing an apron and a fedora, the man caught Rick's attention because he seemed to be watching them through eye holes he'd cut into a newspaper he was holding. Once he noticed Rick was staring back at him he quickly averted his gaze.
"Wha- what's wrong Rick?" asked Morty
"Oh, nothing Morty." Rick said, eyeing the man before turning back to his grandson
"So Rick, wha- what kind of interesting things happen here?" asked Morty.
"Lots of interesting things Morty, tho- those weird gem- monsters always seem to be terrorizing someone around here, and there was this one time I came here and there was a giant green hand in the sky. I didn't stick around too long to see what became of that thing, though I think I saw a giant hand print in that hill from earlier."
"Pizzas ready." The same girl from earlier said as she sat the pizza down on their table.
"Oh yeah, thanks. Yo- you know I have to admit I wasn't sure about this place when I saw it's name but this- this looks pretty good." Said Morty. "Yeah i- it does look pretty good" agreed Rick.
"Hey, thanks. You know I don't think I've seen you guys around here before, you from out of town? I'm Jenny, by the way." the girl said
"My names Morty, and yeah, we're from quite a ways away from here." replied Morty
"A looooooong ways" said Rick in between bites of the pizza.
"Well don't be a stranger, feel free to come by any time you like!" said the girl before walking to another table.
"Wow Rick the people here seem pretty nice." stated Morty
"Yeah you're right Morty. Anyway I just remembered we don't have any money from this dimension to pay, stay here well I go get some." Said Rick. "And keep an eye on that guy with the fedora and the newspaper" he whispered to Morty as he walked away.
Rick walked outside and looked for an ATM, he found one in front of an arcade and after failing to pick the lock with a screwdriver from his coat he realized he was being watched by a short pale kid.
"What is it yo- you want a cookie or something?" Rick said unsure of how to react.
The pale kid walked over to the machine, took a pin out of his pocked and picked the lock for him.
"Hey thanks ki- *burp* kid, you know you got some real skill" Rick said. The boy nodded as if to say "I know, I know."
After borrowing some money from the ATM he ran back to the restaurant, however as he ran back in he failed to notice the same multi- colored people from before emerging from between some buildings and turning his direction.
"I think we lost um" the purple one said
"Wait! I think I saw one of them going into Fish Stew Pizza just now" the boy said excitedly.
"Good job Steve, lets go!" the tall red one said before they all ran towards the pizzeria.
Authors Note: Sorry this chapter was uneventful but I wanted to throw in some character interaction, not sure I like the result though.
