Somewhere within the galaxy, there was a lone, ginormous asteroid, floating through space. Within the dark, slimy caverns of this asteroid, filled with strange, alien eggs, two figures walked through it, each carrying an egg. They resembled both Rick and Ronnie Anne, though something was off about them. They both had small, one eyed, tentacled aliens attached to their faces. As they were walking, the alien attached to Ronnie Anne's face accidentally got its tentacle caught on one of the stalactites, pulling the tentacle off of Ronnie Anne's face. Due to being slightly loose on Ronnie Anne's face, she was able to gain control of herself again as she pulled the alien off of her face. "AAAUGGGH!" As she did this, she also puked up some strange, green liquid. The alien screeched as it tried to get back on Ronnie Anne's face.

The alien on Rick then noticed what was happening and went over to help, only for Ronnie Anne to jump up and pull the alien off his face. As soon as Rick regained control of himself, he got out his laser gun and shot at both aliens as he too puked up some green liquid. The two then took a second to recover, coughing up and spitting out the green liquid. "Oh my God." Rick coughed. "Holy shit!"

Ronnie Anne looked around in confusion. "What's going on? Where am I?"

Rick looked equally confused. "Ronnie Anne? What, is this like a once a season thing now or something?"

Ronnie Anne ignored Rick's question. "Why am I here? What even were those things?"

"Do I look like I know? Last thing I remember, I was, ugh, in a cave looking at some wet egg and..." Rick had a look of realisation. "Oh, that probably did it."

Ronnie Anne rubbed her temples as her memory was somewhat hazy. "So you don't remember anything either?"

"Conveniently, no. Though I guess that's not the worst side affect of being taken over by a facehugger."

Ronnie Anne looked horrified. "I thought those kinds of things only existed in movies?!"

"Yeah, you'd be surprised how often stuff made up in movies turn out to be real. It's actually kinda wild how often that's happened. Like I've literally been to a planet that had its own purge."

Ronnie Anne couldn't help but wonder how Lincoln kept his sanity going on these kinds of adventures. "You know, I really don't wanna know. Can we just get out of here already?"

"Relax, I don't think a society full of face hugging parasites is gonna be that hard to navigate."

The two then made their way out of the cavern. Upon reaching an exit, the two were surprised to see actual buildings inside this asteroid, even if they were all covered in alien slime. "Ok, yeah, this might be a little harder than I thought." Rick admitted. He then noticed something. "Holy shit. They've got an M & M's store."

"So what do we do now?" Ronnie Anne asked, looking nervous as she noticed the other aliens that had facehuggers attached to their faces.

"Just be cool, Ronnie Anne. All we gotta do is blend in, find our ship, and get the fuck outta here." The two then ducked back into the cavern as they noticed a couple facehuggers pass by. "All right, Ronnie Anne, here's the plan, put this back on your face." Rick said as he held up one of the dead facehuggers.

Ronnie Anne had a look of revulsion at what Rick had requested. "You're kidding, right?"

"Relax, it's dead." Rick assured her before the facehugger let out a sudden screech, causing Rick to shoot it with his laser gun. "Ok, now it's dead. Come on, hurry up." Rick used some tape to stick the facehugger on his face before helping to stick the other facehugger to Ronnie Anne's face.

As Ronnie Anne stood back up, her eyes widened as some kind of hot, green liquid fell out of her facehugger's mouth. "Uh, Rick, I think mine just bled acid."

"All right, well, that should be the last of it."

"Shouldn't we be worried about these things poisoning us or something?"

"Trust me, whatever they put in you will have no effect on your body whatsoever."

Ronnie Anne raised an eyebrow. "What's that supposed to mean."

"Don't worry about it." Though as Rick said this, he could imagine Dr. Bloom was going to give him an earful the next time they talked.

As the two walked through the facehugger society, the two came across a strange, yellow, alien pod. Inside was a facehugger sat on a chair, surrounded by other facehuggers dressed like doctors. The facehugger screamed in pain until the lower half of the body it was hosting exploded, spreading green goo and dropping an alien egg as the facehugger appeared to be dead. Ronnie Anne tried her hardest not to puke. "Seems like a self-destructive life cycle." Rick remarked.

"That's not gonna happen to us, right?" Ronnie Anne asked.

"Like I said, we'll be totally fine. I mean, do you feel an egg in your stomach?"

"I don't think so?"

"Well, then, there you go." Rick then noticed one of the facehuggers looking at Ronnie Anne. "'Sup?"

The facehugger raised an hand. "Glory to Glorzo."

"Oh yeah, love Glorzo."

As the two walked through the slime covered streets, they noticed some red, tube like appendages coming from a building. A screechy voice came from it. "Glorzo is peace. Peace is Glorzo."

"Uh, Rick, what is that?" Ronnie Anne asked.

Rick shrugged. "I don't know, maybe it's their God or something. Actually, now that I think about it, I'm willing to bet glorzos are what these facehuggers are actually called."

"No, I mean that!" She pointed towards a glowing screen on one of the buildings which had an image of Ronnie Anne with a glorzo on her face giving a thumbs up. The two heard her voice come from it. "The future is Glorzo!"

"Oh, my God. I was just reading you." A glorzo said as he approached the two, showing a magazine titled 'Glorzo', which had an image of Ronnie Anne and her glorzo on it.

"Urm..." Ronnie Anne murmured, not sure what to make of all this.

"Honestly, it's shocking to see the two of you together." The glorzo remarked.

"Because we're both geniuses?" Rick asked.

The glorzo scowled at Rick. "No, because I've seen your videos, and you make me fucking sick." The glorzo turned to Ronnie Anne. "Fix him."

After the glorzo left, Rick and Ronnie Anne exchanged a look of confusion before they were approached by a group of glorzos that appeared to be soldiers. They bowed to Ronnie Anne. "Glory to Glorzo." One of them spoke. "Sir, you shouldn't wander off like that. We've been looking all over for you. The project is ready for your approval." He frowned as he looked at Rick. "Sir, is this man bothering you?"

"Uh, no, no, he's fine." Ronnie Anne assured them. "Um...what project was that again?"

"Jesus Christ, who the fuck was I?" Rick wondered out loud.

...

As the two made their way to see the project, Rick was holding a glorzian equivalent of an IPhone where he found a video of the glorzo that used him as a host. He appeared to be in some kind of apartment as he ranted. "Here's a scientific fact I'm not allowed to say... Our hosts are biologically designed to incubate our eggs. If that 'triggers' you, fuck off. If it doesn't, please like and subscribe. New videos every Glorzday."

Rick couldn't help but be embarrassed. "God, was I at least rich? I mean, d-d-did I at least sell out and sell vitamins or something?"

"Why are you asking me? How would I know? Also, why vitamins?" Ronnie Anne asked.

The two finally arrived at a huge laboratory and saw the 'project' which appeared to be some kind of large missile. "Jesus, your glorzo got shit done." Rick remarked.

A glorzo wearing a green lab coat approached the two alongside some glorzo soldiers. "My lord, we await your command."

Ronnie Anne gave him a confused look. "...to do what? Shoot it?"

"Glorzo is peace. All shall be made Glorzo." The glorzo explained.

The glorzo soldiers stood straight, putting their fists to their chests. "Glory to Glorzo."

"I actually helped make this?" Ronnie Anne asked in disbelief.

"You and the amazing technology you both brought us." The glorzo replied.

Rick then noticed that the missile was plugged into his cruiser. "Yeah, makes sense. A-And where was this heading? Earth? Probably Earth?"

"The humans call it 'Earth."

"Um, do you think we could...not do that?" Ronnie Anne asked

The glorzo was taken aback by this. "Uh...is there a reason we shouldn't?"

Ronnie Anne scratched the back of her head. "Because taking over people's bodies and laying eggs in them is kinda...evil?"

The glorzo looked confused. "But that's how out species survives and thrives."

There was a brief moment of awkward silence before Ronnie Anne gave Rick a pleading look. Rick chuckled nervously. "Uh, I think what she meant to say was maybe we should put the project on hold in case we figure out a more ethical means of propagating our species."

The glorzo frowned. "Oh... Just would've been nice to have heard this sooner before we spent all day on it."

"Sorry?" Ronnie Anne said, shrugging awkwardly.

Another glorzo then approached the two, squeezing past the soldiers. "Hey, quick question, why haven't you blinked, uh, for twenty minutes, and why, uh, doesn't your mouth move when you talk?"

At that moment, the tape around Ronnie Anne's head came loose as the glorzo fell to the floor. As she stared down in horror, Rick exclaimed. "All right, fuck it, run!" Before tearing the glorzo off his face and dashing towards his cruiser with Ronnie Anne, though he was able to pick up the other dead glorzo on the way. The glorzos screeched as they chased after them.

Rick fired his laser gun at some of the glorzos on the way before he and Ronnie Anne got into the cruiser. He started it up and lifted off, however, it was still plugged into the missile. The cruiser flew forward before flying back the other way, picking up another speed to break the missile as it dragged behind them. He dragged it around the huge laboratory they were in, destroying some equipment before flying up a large hole which led to outside of the building. The cruiser flew through the city, dragging the missile through the streets while killing countless glorzos and destroying some buildings in the process.

Some glorzos that detached from their hosts climbed up the missile before reaching the cruiser, covering its windows. Ronnie Anne shrunk back in horror. "Rick, we have a problem!"

"Yeah, I can see that, Ronnie Anne. Thanks for the feedback." Rick snarked. Rick activated an energy shield on the cruiser, blasting all of the glorzos away. "Oh crap!" Rick explained as he saw a bunch of ships approach them, firing lasers at them.

"How big is this city?" Ronnie Anne asked as Rick dodged all of the lasers.

"I know, it's like pick a lane. Are you facehuggers or industrialists?" He looked back at the missile trailing behind them before pulling a lever, causing the cruiser to boost forward, disconnecting it from the missile. The green flames that the cruiser fired as it boosted caused the missile to launch the other way before crashing into a large building, blowing it up.

Rick and Ronnie Anne looked back at the explosion before Rick smiled at Ronnie Anne. "Damn, feels kinda good when there's no guilt. Hey, listen. I know this experience may have left you a little traumatised so how about I make it up to you by letting you kill some face hugging parasites?"

Ronnie Anne frowned in thought for a moment before a slight smirk appeared on her face. "That...might make me feel a little better." It's not like she had any reason not to, considering what these things were and what they did to people.

"Alright, just one condition, promise not to tell your family about anything that happened here."

Ronnie Anne sighed. "Fine." Rick then pressed a button, causing a cockpit to form underneath the cruiser with two huge laser blasters attached to it. Ronnie Anne's seat then flipped over, lowering in her into the cockpit. There were two handles in it to aim the cockpit as she fired lasers at the glorzo ships from all directions.

After a minute, a holographic screen then appeared in front of Ronnie Anne with Rick's face on it. "God, I needed this. Honestly, it's been a while since I've been able to just let loose, you know? Just have fun."

Ronnie Anne gave him a confused look. "Why? Don't you usually do this stuff with Lincoln and his sisters?"

Rick scratched the back of his head. "Eh, this isn't really any of your business but things have been kinda uneasy lately at home. I've been feeling kinda...trapped."

Ronnie Anne rolled her eyes. "Can't imagine why any of them might have an issue with going on adventures like this."

"Hey, come on, cool it with the sass. Let's just enjoy this." The cruiser then jolted as Rick could feel it getting hit by a ship behind them. "Mother fucker!" Rick pressed a button which caused a large railgun to form at the back of the cruiser that fired a massive beam of energy that vaporised two glorzo ships as well as a building behind them.

Rick grinned as Ronnie Anne seat went back up into the cruiser as all the glorzo ships had been dealt with. "Oh my God, this is so much fun! It's like popping bubble wrap."

Ronnie Anne couldn't help but let out a chuckle from all the excitement. "Yeah, but shouldn't we focus on trying to get out of here?"

"Ah, what's the rush?" Rick then frowned as he noticed the cruiser was coming up to two tall buildings that were quite close to each other. "O-On second thought, yeah we can leave."

Ronnie Anne gave Rick a confused look. "Why? Is there something wrong with those buildings?"

Rick raised an eyebrow. "What, you've never heard of 9/11?"

Ronnie Anne scratched the back of her head as she squinted her eyes in thought. "I think I've heard about that before but wasn't that from long before I was born?"

Rick blinked at Ronnie Anne before staring forward. "Jesus, time really doesn't stop moving, huh?" He then activated the cruiser's boosters as it fired out of the asteroid.

...

Upon coming back to Earth and approaching the apartment building, Rick frowned as he noticed some police cars around. "Fuck, how long have we been gone?"

...

The two entered the apartment to see Frida currently talking to two police officers. One of them was showing his drawing of Sergio based on the description he was given. "No, señor policia, his feathers are way more beautiful than that! Use this one. I did it myself." Frida handed the officer her own drawing of Sergio, which depicted him as a muscular God.

Bobby and CJ were near the door when Rick and Ronnie Anne entered. Bobby got nervous as soon as he noticed Rick. "Oh! Uh...hey, Mr. Sanchez."

Rick rolled his eyes. "Jesus, I said I was sorry for punching you, ok? Get over it already."

Ronnie Anne looked around the room. Almost the whole family was here though she noticed someone was missing. "Hey, where's Carl?" She asked CJ.

"I think he went to hang out with Adelaide." CJ responded.

Ronnie Anne raised an eyebrow. "Really? Since when did they become friends?"

CJ shrugged. "Beats me."

...

At the Chang's apartment, Adelaide was currently having a tea party with Carl as she held a teacup and teapot. "Lord Carl, so nice of you to join us for tea in the garden." She said, imitating a British accent.

Carl was currently wearing a blue peacock hat. He was not happy with his current circumstances. "Yeah, sure." Adelaide gave him a suspicious look. "I mean..." He cleared his throat as he put on a British accent. "Jolly good, I love a train party-Ah! I mean tea party. Chip, chip, cheerio." The two clinked their cups before Carl took a sip from his, only for him to spit out the tea In revulsion. "Yuck! What is that?!"

Adelaide frowned. "It's tea, Carl, I thought you said you like tea."

Carl's eyes widened. "I do. What's not to love?" He took off his hat. "But maybe we could play something else."

Adelaide held her chin in thought for a moment before gasping. "I know a game you'll really love." She then got up and grabbed Carl's arm as she dragged him over to her room.

"You're doing this for the train, Carl." Carl said to himself quietly. "You're doing this for the train."

...

"Anyway, did you find Sergio?" CJ asked.

Ronnie Anne gave him a confused look. "Huh?"

Bobby gave Ronnie Anne a desperate look. "Ronnie Anne, you said you were gonna bring him back! Where've you been all this time? Do you know how hard it was to cover for you?"

Ronnie Anne's face slowly contorted from a look of confusion to horror as she turned to Rick, who had the same look. "Uh, Rick? You don't think...?"

Rick pinched the bridge of his nose. "Now that I think about it, I...vaguely remember him being there with us on that asteroid."

"What are you guys talking about?" Bobby asked.

"There's a chance we might have left him on an asteroid full of face hugging parasites." Rick replied.

"WHAT?!"

"And what are YOU doing here?!" Rosa suddenly shouted upon finally noticing Rick.

Rick smiled nervously. "Oh! Uh, I-I was just visiting though I can see you've clearly stuff going on here so..." He then hastily left the apartment.

Ronnie Anne also smiled nervously as she slowly backed out of the apartment. "Yeah, I'm just gonna look around town to see if I can find Sergio again." She then ran out.

After they left, Rosa went from angry back to inconsolable as she wiped a tear away. "Policias, if anyone hurts my bird, you better give them twenty to life!"

Bobby couldn't help but quietly yelp in horror at the thought of this.

"Talk to our grandson." Hector suggested. "He was the last person to see Sergio. He might know something helpful." The two police officers gave Bobby a questioning look.

Bobby shrank back from the officers gazes as the guilt started to become too much. "I...I...Alright, I confess! I got into a big fight with Sergio and I told him to go away, and never come back."

"You did WHAT?!" Rosa exclaimed.

"I didn't mean it." Bobby choked, on the verge of breaking down. "I was just angry. And what's worse is that I think Rick accidentally left him on an asteroid in space."

"HE'S WHAT?!!"

Bobby fell to his knees. "Officers. I understand if you wanna put me away for life."

The two police officers glanced at each other in confusion. "For...yelling at a bird?" One of them asked.

"I've heard enough!" Rosa exclaimed as she stood up and stomped over to Bobby. "Bobby, you and I are going to resolve this."

"But...Mr. Sanchez said that he's in space. Shouldn't we just wait for him to bring him back?"

Rosa shook her head fervently. "Absolutely not! I do not trust that Rick Sanchez with Sergio whatsoever."

Bobby gave her a confused look. "But how are we supposed to-"

Rosa held up a hand to stop him. "Ah! I don't want to hear it. Don't you worry about the details. Your abuela always finds a way." She then grabbed a confused Bobby's arm, leading him out of the apartment.

...

Both Rick and Ronnie Anne had a look of worry on their faces as Rick flew the cruiser back to the asteroid. "Do you think he might be...dead?" Ronnie Anne asked.

Rick shrugged. "I-I mean maybe? Though he is a parrot so there is a chance they'd struggle to latch onto his face. Look, don't worry about it. Even in the worst case scenario, I'll find a way to fix this."

Ronnie Anne raised an eyebrow. "And what exactly will you do in the worst case scenario?"

"Like I said, don't worry about it."

...

Upon returning to the asteroid, Ronnie Anne looked out the window at the still ruined city. "Do you think we might have gone a little too far?"

"They're face hugging parasites that kill their victims by laying their eggs in them. What do you think?"

Ronnie Anne thought about it for a moment. "But don't they still think and feel like us?"

"Yeah, so do nazis. That doesn't suddenly mean they deserve any sympathy. Anyway, put this on." Rick handed Ronnie Anne the corpse of the glorzo she had been wearing earlier.

Ronnie Anne flinched in disgust. "You actually kept these?"

"Would you rather have a new one?"

Now wearing the dead glorzos over their face again, Rick landed the cruiser as he and Ronnie Anne got out. Rick waved to the other glorzos. "'Sup?"

Unfortunately, the glorzos easily recognised the two as one pointed towards them. "Oh shit! It's them! The worst thing to ever happen to us!"

"Yeah, that makes sense." Rick deadpanned as he created a forcefield before the horde of glorzos could get to them.

Ronnie Anne gave Rick a pointed look. "So you brought back those dead glorzos just in case but you didn't think they might recognise your ship?"

"Look, we've all made questionable choices. Like your family did when they bought that parrot. Besides, I had a backup plan." Rick then got out some kind of strange, white device before speaking into it. "Rickputer, initiate unnecessarily badass suit-up." The device then began to transform. He threw it at Ronnie Anne's head as it morphed into a helmet and spread all over Ronnie Anne's body until she was fully covered in white, Gundam styled armour. Rick then pressed a button on his watch, causing him to suit up in his armour again. He unsheathed his sword, as did Ronnie Anne. "Let's lick tits."

"Ew." Ronnie Anne remarked before the two proceeded to take on the horde of glorzos, slicing at them and firing missiles from their fists at them.

Once they killed all of the ones in sight, Ronnie Anne asked. "Shouldn't we be finding Sergio?"

Rick facepalmed. "Oh, right, gee, sorry. I got caught up again. God, d-do I need to take more Adderall, or am I taking too much Adderall?" Rick got out a feather from Sergio and scanned it with a device on his hand. A projection of a radar then came out of it, showing Sergio's location. Rick then pressed another button, causing his cruiser to spout tall, metal legs. After it stood up, a laser formed at the bottom of it, blasting a hole into the ground. Rick and Ronnie jumped down into it, finding themselves in another cavern. There were a few more glorzos down there though Rick and Ronnie Anne were able to dispatch them with ease.

"Man, really shouldn't have gone with swords. My wrists are killing me." Rick remarked as the two made their way through the cavern. "Flame-throwers next time, for sure."

Ronnie Anne shrugged. "I don't really have any problems with this."

Rick rolled his eyes. "Of course you wouldn't. Though I have to say, I'm impressed with how well you're taking all this violence. Though, Lincoln did say you used to have a bit of a violent streak."

Ronnie Anne blushed. "Hey, I'm not like that anymore."

The two then approached a wall. Both of them slashed their swords at it, slicing a hole into it. "Sergio! Are you okay!" Ronnie Anne exclaimed.

However, the two were shocked to see that Sergio was not only fine, he was currently in a luxurious room, sat on a chaise longue throne and surrounded by glorzo servants. He was also wearing a strange crown that looked like it was made of alien sticks. "Oh, you've got to be fucking kidding me." Rick groaned.

"Emperor, is everything alright?" One of the servants asked.

Sergio had been staring at Ronnie Anne and Rick in shock until the servant spoke. He then pointed angrily at them. "Squawk! Seize them!"

The glorzo guards in the room all pointed their laser guns at Rick and Ronnie Anne. "What? Sergio, why?" A distraught Ronnie Anne asked.

"Oh, you fucking rat with wings!" Rick cursed.

...

Rick and Ronnie Anne were currently out of their armour and were now in a prison cell, sharing it with another glorzo. "Well, turns out I was wrong about that worst case scenario." Rick remarked. "I think I would have preferred to find him dead."

The other inmate stood up as he started groaning. Rick's eyes widened. "Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, buddy! Hey, hey, hey! Not in here! Not in here!" His pleading was ineffectual as the lower body of the glorzo's host exploded, leaving an egg and spreading green fluids everywhere, including on a grossed out Rick and Ronnie Anne. "Aw..."

"Hey, don't you usually have a portal gun or something?" An irritated Ronnie Anne then asked.

Rick's eyes went wide before he pinched the bridge of his nose. "Fuck, I knew I forgot something today."

A moment later, the door to their cell opened. Sergio was flying outside of it, surrounded by two guards. "Leave us." Sergio commanded to the guards as he flew into the cell. Once the door closed behind him, his expression went from serious to smug. "What do you think? Pretty sweet gig here, huh?"

Rick stared at Sergio in disbelief. "Ok, first of all, fuck you. Second of all, fuck you again. Thirdly, our memories are kinda hazy, can you explain how the fuck any of this happened?"

"Squawk? You mean you don't remember?"

...

Bobby's face was completely red with anger. "You know what, Sergio?! I've had it! I wish you would just fly away and NEVER. COME. BACK!!!"

Sergio gasped in shock before scowling. "Fine! Peace out!" He flashed the peace sign before flying out of the mercado.

At the same time, Ronnie Anne came in after noticing Sergio fly off. "Um, did something happen here?"

After wiping the bird poop out of his hair, Bobby took a moment to calm down, suddenly regretting snapping at Sergio like that. "I...kinda got mad at Sergio and told him to fly away."

"Why would you do that?"

"Have you not seen how much he's been bugging me today? And then he somehow won employee of the month? He doesn't even work here!"

Ronnie Anne sighed. "Don't worry. I'll go find him and bring him back."

...

After searching around town for a bit, Ronnie Anne eventually found Sergio in the last place she'd hope to find him. Rick's garage. "There you are, Sergio. Come on, let's go home. I'm sure Bobby didn't mean what he said."

Sergio humphed. "Coulda fooled me! Since I'm not appreciated at home, I've decided to crash with the Louds now."

Ronnie Anne turned to Rick. "And you're okay with this?"

"I'll be honest with you, I-I've kinda just been pretending he isn't here." Rick replied as he worked on some kind of device. He had a somewhat dull look on his face.

"Hey, I have an idea! How about we go on an adventure for once?" Sergio asked.

Rick sighed. "I mean, sure. Why not? My grandkids don't seem to want to come on them these days so I guess I'll just make do." He then slowly walked over to the cruiser, got inside and then opened the other door.

"Sweet!" Sergio exclaimed before flying into the cruiser and perching on the seat next to Rick.

"W-Wait." Ronnie Anne yelled before running over to get into the cruiser. "At least let me come with so I can make sure Sergio's safe."

Rick shrugged. "Sure, why not." He sighed again. "An adventure with the Casagrandes' parrot. Man, I'm really scraping the bottom of the barrel here."

...

As Rick flew through space, he had just finished listening to Sergio explain why he ran away. "So, uh, let me get this straight..." Rick started. "You played music all night outside Bobby's window. You messed up his hair. You pulled down his pants. You left feathers in his breakfast. You took a shit on his head...but because he got mad and told you to fuck off after you somehow won employee of the month, that makes you the victim?"

"That about sums it up." Sergio replied cheerfully.

Rick was silent for a moment as he gave Sergio an incredulous look. "...I-I don't know. Maybe it's just me but... It kinda sounds like you're the asshole here."

"Say whaaaaaat?" Sergio exclaimed in disbelief.

"Ok, I know that kinda sounds bad but...he is just a parrot." Ronnie Anne tried to argue.

"Most parrots don't get offended when you tell them to go away." Rick retorted. "Speaking of that, do you think you could give me an explanation on how this parrot is somehow fully sapient?"

Ronnie Anne rolled her eyes. "I don't know, do you think you could give us an explanation on why the whole world went unconscious for a week?"

Rick narrowed his eyes at her. "Touché."

"Besides, who are you to talk? Didn't you punch Bobby in the face?" Sergio added.

Rick groaned. "You guys are never gonna let me live that one down, huh?"

...

Eventually, Rick landed his cruiser inside an asteroid as the three were currently exploring its dark caverns. "Uh, why are we here again?" Ronnie Anne asked nervously.

"Good question." Sergio nervously squawked.

"Oh, no particular reason." Other than because Rick knew his grandkids would be extra upset about coming to a place like this. "Just wanted to do some exploring. Whoa, look how wet this egg is." Rick knelt down near two alien eggs.

Ronnie Anne went over to take a look while Sergio flew behind them at a safe distance. "These are eggs?"

"Yeah, they look pretty cool, huh?" Rick asked as he began touching it. "Holy shit, I love this egg." He remarked as both eggs started hatching. Two tentacled aliens could be seen at the top of them.

"Uh, are those things dangerous?" Ronnie Anne asked. Before Rick could answer, both of them screamed as the glorzos suddenly latched onto their faces.

Sergio let out a squawk of fear before trying to fly away. However, without looking, he flew towards another egg that had just hatched. The glorzo jumped up to try and latch onto Sergio's face.

Only for it to impale itself on his beak. "Huh?"

Before Sergio could fly away again, the glorzo controlling Rick grabbed him. "All is Glorzo." He held him near another hatching egg. Once again, the newborn glorzo impaled itself on Sergio's beak.

Rick's glorzo then held him towards another egg. "All is Glorzo." Ronnie Anne's glorzo said. Once again, the same thing happened.

The two glorzos glanced at each other. "God." Both of them said.

"God?" Some glorzos that had already latched onto their hosts emerged from the shadows. One of them looking rather annoyed. "That's just some kind of ugly avian creature."

"Well excuse you, bub!" Sergio snarked.

Rick's glorzo let go of Sergio as he and Ronnie Anne's glorzo bowed to him. "God."

"For fuck's sake, how long have you been hatched?" The other glorzo asked. "Thirty seconds? I've been alive seven minutes. Think before you-"

"Excuse me, seven minutes?" Another Glorzo interrupted. "Uh, I've been here for twenty-nine minutes. But anyway, break off that thing's beak. Suck on its face this instant and use its body to-" The glorzo started groaning before the lower half of his body exploded, leaving behind an egg.

Sergio stared in horror. "W-What was that?"

"That is called responsibility." The glorzo from earlier pointed at the corpse. "He was part of our greatest generation. He understood that what you need to do is suck on a face, shit an egg, and die."

Sergio raised an eyebrow. "Squawk? That's how you guys live?"

"Yes. We love it. I'll do it right now." The glorzo started groaning before his lower half exploded, leaving an egg.

There was a moment of awkward silence before Sergio spoke to the other glorzos. "Don't you guys know how to live a little? I say we change things up around here. Who's with me?"

The other glorzos all glanced at each other before raising their hands. Sergio smirked. "I could get used to this."

...

While a lot of the actual planning and work was done by Rick and Ronnie Anne's glorzos, Sergio's leadership led to the glorzos developing their own society as they encouraged new glorzos to live longer and help with building construction, even managing to build some educational facilities and weapons factories. Sergio's part in all this mostly amounted to hosting all night parties.

They even managed to develop their own internet. However, not everyone was happy with this new way of life. Rick's glorzo eventually backed out as he decided to post videos on the internet to air his grievances with the current glorzo society. "All right, look, uh, this shit's been brewing for a while. I'm not gonna win any popularity contests by saying it, but here's... here's the world as I see it."

Meanwhile, Ronnie Anne's glorzo was officially ranked as Ronnie Anne's commander, standing alongside Sergio at events such as the unveiling of the missile that would be used to invade Earth. Ronnie Anne's glorzo had not forgotten about Rick's glorzo, however, as she was currently watching one of his videos. "I mean, look, we are designed to suck on faces and lay eggs. Life is life, and that's the way it goes." Rick's glorzo said as Ronnie Anne's glorzo stared at the video on her phone in disbelief. She then threw it aside in anger before sitting down, ruminating over this.

...

Ronnie Anne's glorzo arrived at the laboratory as she greeted the crew working on the missile. "Hello, Troy. Hello, Jez. How is it going?"

"Really good, commander." Troy replied. "Should be ready by tomorrow."

Ronnie Anne's glorzo smiled. "That is what I like to hear. Great work, glory to Glorzo."

Ronnie Anne's glorzo then went over to Sergio, who was lying down on a luxurious sofa, being fanned by some servants. She took a seat next to him. "Honestly, Sergio, I can't thank you enough. When we met, we were just shitting eggs in a cave, but you showed us life is about more than that. It is about living." She gestured towards the project. "And now, with these missiles, we will be able to reach the entire universe. We say it all the time, but I guess all is Glorzo."

"Yeah, that sounds great." Sergio said, not really interested. "Hey, do you think you could get off of Ronnie Anne?"

"Who's Ronnie Anne?" The glorzo asked before pointing at the body it was using as a host. "Oh, this? Forgot she was there, haha." She then frowned. "Wait. What are you saying? I need this body to live."

"Well, then you're fired."

"W-What?"

"You heard me! Get outta here!" Some guards arrived to escort Ronnie Anne's glorzo out of the building."

"You can't do this to me." Ronnie Anne's glorzo shouted.

"I just did." Sergio replied apathetically.

...

"So then what happened to us after that?" Ronnie Anne asked.

"How should I know? I wasn't there." Sergio then cringed. "To be honest, I don't really wanna think about it."

"So you were literally okay with them building a missile to invade Earth?" Rick questioned.

Sergio shrugged. "Their idea. Not mine. Though I bet that would've taught Bobby a lesson."

Rick stared at Sergio in shock. "A-Are you serious? How much of a petty asshole are you..." Rick trailed off as he had a look of realisation on his face. "Oh God. Is this how I come across when I get like this?"

Sergio rolled his eyes. "Ah, cool it, will ya? I'm tired of this place anyway. I bet Bobby's learned his lesson by now anyway. Don't you two worry. I've got a plan. Just follow my lead."

...

Rick and Ronnie Anne were thrown to the ground in front of Sergio and a council of four other glorzos who were all sat upon a large platform for Rick and Ronnie Anne's trial. Both Rick and Ronnie Anne's hands were restrained with black vines. "The punishment is... death." Sergio announced.

"Mother fucker!" Rick cursed.

"What the heck, Sergio!" Ronnie Anne exclaimed. "I thought you had a plan?"

Sergio raised his wing. "Silence. The council of glorzos has spoken."

"More like council of shit!" Rick spat.

"Glorzo is law." One of the councilmen spoke.

"Silence." Sergio shouted before smirking. "I may be a bit more lenient with this sentence on one condition."

Ronnie Anne raised an eyebrow. "And that is?"

"Rick has to say he's sorry."

Rick narrowed his eyes at Sergio. "What?"

"You heard me." Sergio taunted. "Come on, let's hear it."

Rick simmered with rage for a moment before he spoke. "You know what? I am sorry. Sorry I bothered coming out here to help a fucking rat with wings. You know what you are, Sergio? You're a fucking parasite who's used his status as a family pet so you can get away with being the biggest asshole alive! It's no wonder you eventually became king of a bunch of other parasites!"

Sergio let out a long gasp before scowling at Rick. "You take that back!"

"Make me, rat! Do you really think being 'funny' or 'quirky' will let you get away with this forever? Because I guarantee people will eventually look past it and see you for the piece of shit you really are!"

Before the situation could escalate any further, however, the trial was suddenly interrupted by a space shuttle crashing into the courtroom. Everyone in the room stared at it in shock for a moment before its door hatch opened up. Rick, Ronnie Anne and Sergio were even more shocked by who came out of it.

"You've gotta be fucking kidding me." Rick said.

"Abuela?!" Ronnie Anne exclaimed.

An angry Rosa climbed out of the space shuttle followed by a nervous Bobby. Her expression softened upon noticing Ronnie Anne. "Oh, Mija, it's good to see your okay." She scowled again. "But what did I tell you about going off with that man?" She glared at Rick.

"S-Sorry but how did you even get here?"

"Oh, I borrowed this space shuttle from one of the Loud girls. Lisa, I think."

"Oh yeah. I forget that she's been working for the Norwegian government, making stuff like that." Rick remarked. "But how did you even find us?"

Rosa waved her hand dismissively. "Oh that was easy. That Lisa put a tracking chip in your body. All she needed to do was tell me how the ship worked and getting here was easy."

"What the hell?" Rick exclaimed in surprise. "I thought I got that one out?"

"Flying a rocket ship is that easy?" Ronnie Anne questioned.

Rosa turned to Bobby, who was looking around at the glorzos nervously. "It's like I said. Your abuela always finds a way." A newborn glorzo then attempted to latch onto her face, only for her to quickly smack it away with a slipper. The other glorzos were suddenly very intimidated by her. "Now, where is Sergio?"

"Squawk! Right here!" Sergio squawked as he flew over to Rosa.

Rosa sighed in relief. "Oh, Sergio, I'm so happy to see you. What happened to you? We've been worried sick."

"Just been crashing here ever since the glorzos made me their king." Sergio answered.

Rosa stared at Sergio in bafflement. "Ok... Anyway, Bobby has something to say to you."

A guilty looking Bobby walked up to Sergio. "Sergio, I'm really sorry about what I said. I didn't mean to snap at you like that."

Sergio smiled. "Apology acc-"

"Are you fucking kidding me?" Rick suddenly exclaimed, interrupting Sergio. "If anything, the fucking parrot is the one who should be apologising. The only reason any of this happened was because of him being a huge dick!"

Rosa glared at Rick. "Since when was this any of your business?"

"Um, actually..." Ronnie Anne spoke up. "Rick kinda has a point. Thinking about it, he has been pretty mean to Bobby lately."

Sergio gasped before glaring at Ronnie Anne. "Tattletale!"

Rosa looked confused and conflicted. "But...he's just a bird."

"A bird that thinks and feels like a human." Rick corrected. "If you asked me, I'd say he should take some responsibility like one too."

"Also he had us thrown in prison when we showed up to try to rescue him." Ronnie Anne added.

"He did what?!" Rosa exclaimed before giving Sergio a pointed look.

"Uh..." Sergio began sweating as realised he may not be able to charm his way out of this one.

"Well, Sergio, do you have anything to say for yourself?" Rosa asked.

Sergio let out a sigh of resignation. "You're right. This is all my fault. I'm sorry." He then turned to Bobby. "I'm sorry to you too. I know I can be a handful."

Bobby smiled. "Aw, it's okay."

Rosa nodded. "Well I'm glad that's settled." She then frowned at Sergio. "But there'll be no crackers for you for a month!"

"Aw..." Sergio groaned.

Rick let out a sigh of relief. "Thank God. I-I wasn't sure your family was actually capable of any meaningful character development." He remarked to Ronnie Anne.

"Um, excuse me?" One of the glorzo councilmen spoke up. "I'm a little confused by what's going on here. Weren't we supposed to be having a trial?"

"Uh, right, erm..." Sergio stammered. "I sentence everyone here to get in that car." Sergio pointed a wing over to Rick's cruiser.

"Oh no, what a horrible fate!" Rick said, pretending to be scared.

Another councilmen then stood up. "Ok. Guess what, everybody. It's me, the whiny guy you never want to hear from. They're trying to escape and he's with them. My time to shine. Execute them."

The glorzos began to advance on Rick, Ronnie Anne and the rest of the Casagrandes. "Ok, plan B." Rick pressed a button on his watch. Speakers then came out of the cruiser, playing awful harmonica music. This caused the glorzos to scream in agony as their bodies' lower halves exploded and laid eggs.

"How did you know that would cause them to lay their eggs?" Ronnie Anne asked as the two ran over to the cruiser.

"I didn't." Rick replied. "I just thought it would annoy them enough to give us a distraction."

Rick and Ronnie got into the cruiser and sat at the front while Rosa and Bobby sat at the back. Sergio flew in and perched on Ronnie Anne's seat. Rick activated his cruiser and flew off while the glorzos were still screaming in agony.

...

After flying away far enough from the asteroid, Rick said. "Well, only one other loose end to tie up." He pressed a button on his watch. Everyone then heard an explosion. The Casagrandes looked back to see that the asteroid had been completely blown up.

Sergio gasped. Despite everything, he couldn't help but feel a little bad for them, considering the society he helped them create. "Why did you do that?"

"Because they were a race of parasites that leeched off of people's bodies until they were dead. The universe is better off with them dead." Rick narrowed his eyes at Sergio. "You understand what I'm saying, Sergio?"

Sergio gulped. "C-Crystal clear!"

...

Upon returning to Earth, Rick followed the Casagrandes as they headed back to their apartment. "Boy, heck of an adventure that was, huh?"

After entering the apartment, Rosa turned to Rick with a scowl on her face. "Stay away from my family." She then slammed the door in his face.

Rick stared blankly at the door for a moment, not even taking notice of Carl, running around the apartment building to chase after Froggy while Adelaide followed after him. "Catch him, Carl." Adelaide shouted.

"I'm trying!" Carl shouted back.
