Chapter 3—Something To Remember Us By
It was getting late and Ricki was feeling a little bad just leaving behind the alternate version of herself with nothing.
'In another world, this locket means everything between us. I doubt it will disrupt any timeline here. You've already been through infinite possibilities before, and I really don't want to go through that shit again.', Ricki said.
'Amen to that sister. You are one smart chick.', Rick said. Coming from her other self, this was probably the highest compliment she could've received. Hearing and seeing all the slideshows from themselves was a bit of an ethereal and otherworldly experience. It was something that they wouldn't soon forget. Ricki didn't know if they would infer any of what they had learned from her mistakes. Jerry most likely wouldn't, due to the fact that he was an imbecile, but something told him Rick was taking notes and honestly that was the only thing that really mattered.
'Before I go, take better care of each other. I know you all don't get along that much and honestly, we're not that much better. We do what we can and muddle through at best. Just be more open, like we are.', Ricki said, sagely.
In the past, it seemed that they had been adhering to this advice and much less likely to blame, bicker or quibble over trite things that were inconsequential. They would still have their problems, but what family didn't ? What mattered most is that both families loved each other and if anything, were the binding force of stability in a very chaotic universe.
