Rick was lying on the couch in the living room, mindlessly surfing through channels for something to watch on TV when Lori came into the room with a serious expression. "Rick, I need you to do a favour for me."

Rick gave her an odd look. "Uh, ok? Shoot."

"I've had a lot to think about lately and I've come to a decision."

"You change your mind about the clone thing?"

Lori shook her head. "No, that's still a terrible idea. I want to come with you to Gromflom Prime and confront Tammy myself."

Rick raised an eyebrow at Lori. "Uh, just so you know, I've been to Gromflom Prime a couple times already and she's never been there."

"Well maybe we'll be lucky this time." Lori insisted. "I need to confront Tammy myself. Maybe once she's out the way, I'll..."

There was a conflicted look on Lori's face, almost as if she didn't want to say what she was thinking. Though Rick already had a feeling of what that was. After considering it for a moment, he stood up. "Alright, let's go then. Though, I'd prepare yourself for disappointment. Chances are we probably won't find much there."

"I wanna come too!"

"Me too!"

Rick and Lori turned to see Lynn and Lincoln stood behind them. Both had determined expressions on their faces. "And you wanna come because...?" Rick asked.

Lynn looked down in shame. "I caused a lot of problems by trusting Tammy and helping her out." She looked back up, determined once again. "I wanna make up for it and help out!"

Rick looked over to Lincoln. "And you?"

Lincoln glanced towards Lynn. "I just...wanna make sure things go okay there."

Rick looked to Lori. "You got a problem with them coming?"

Lori sighed. "I guess not."

"Alright. I guess we're doing this then. We're going Gromflom Prime. The fucking worst planet in the galaxy!"

...

Ronnie Anne was at the park with Clyde and Sid. She and Sid were currently watching Clyde stare down at a skateboard as if it was something out of this world. "I'm not so sure about this." He admitted.

"Don't worry. You'll get the hang of it. You just need practice." Ronnie Anne assured him.

"Yeah, you got this, Clyde!" Sid encouraged him with a thumbs up.

"Ok then. Ah!" As soon as Clyde took one step onto the skateboard, he immediately wiped out. "Ow..."

"That's okay!" Sid assured him. "I wasn't that great at it at first either. You just need to start with baby steps!"

Ronnie Anne didn't seem so confident. "...those were the baby steps."

"Do the baby steps have baby steps?" Sid whispered back.

Before Ronnie Anne could respond, her phone started ringing. "Hold that thought." She had a delighted expression upon seeing the caller I.D.. "It's my dad!" She answered the video call. Arturo appeared to be near an old building. "Hey Dad."

"Ronita!" Arturo exclaimed happily. "Guess what, I have crazy news. I'm coming to the city, tomorrow! Can you believe that?"

Ronnie Anne was ecstatic. "What?! That's awesome."

"I know, I know, I'm coming for a conference, our headquarters happens to be in Royal Woods, we can hang out all week!" He then took out a pamphlet. "And I'm excited to see the attractions there. Like this Anatomy Park and-" Suddenly an alpaca showed up, taking a bite out of the pamphlet. "Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey! No, Sacasero."

"Woah, is that an alpaca?"

"Si, I'm already on my way. See you soon."

"Was that your dad?" Clyde asked as he approached Ronnie Anne and Sid.

Ronnie grinned. "Yeah! I can't wait for you guys to meet him!"

Though she was happy that her dad was coming around, another thought had entered her mind as she wondered if there was a way to make him stay this time.

...

Rick, Lori, Lynn and Lincoln exited the portal. "Here we are, kids." Rick began. "You finally get to see what the shittiest planet in the galaxy is like. Hope it lives up to your expectations."

Even from the alley way that they arrived at, the state of Gromflom Prime was a grim site to behold. The sky was a murky purple, already setting a depressing atmosphere and most of the buildings around them were in ruin. The four peeked out of the alley way and noticed a couple things. First nearby was a long line of gromflomites, waiting to take their rations, which appeared to be some kind of green slop. The other thing they noticed was further down the street. There was a large crowd of gromflomites surrounding a wooden statue that somewhat resembled Rick. The structure had been set on fire as the crowd booed and jeered at it, cursing Rick's name.

"Guess what I did wasn't a public secret then." Rick remarked in a neutral tone. "We, uh, probably don't want to be recognised while we're here."

...

The four were all now wearing brown cloaks as they looked around the streets of this ruined city. Lynn couldn't help but grimace as she passed another hole where some dead bodies were dumped and left to rot. "Guess Tammy wasn't exaggerating when she said this planet was still suffering."

Rick shrugged. "Like I said. Small price to pay for the liberation of every planet the Federation conquered."

Lori couldn't help but shake her head in disbelief at the state of the planet. "Is it...bad that I kinda feel bad for them?"

"Hey, in some way, they kinda brought it on themselves." Rick stated. "Did you know this planet used to actually have democracy?"

Lori blinked in surprise. "Really? What happened?"

"They basically voted it all away to make way for the Federation. Guess I can't really blame them though. The government at the time went hard with its propaganda. Most of them ended up either voting out of ignorance or out of spite against anyone that questioned the government."

Lori frowned. "You know, I can't help but wonder. How did Tammy get wrapped up in all this? Literally how did anyone on Earth end up getting in contact with the Federation?"

Rick shrugged. "Beats me. Believe it or not, I don't have all the answers."

"Weren't you curious yourself?"

"Not really." Lori huffed at that answer.

As Rick and Lori were talking, Lincoln had started a conversation with Lynn. "You holding up okay?" Lincoln asked.

"Yeah, I'm good." Lynn replied.

"So are things between you and Rick okay?"

Lynn nodded. "Yeah. I don't hate him anymore. I actually kinda understand how he thinks now."

This surprised Lincoln. "Really?"

"Yeah. I think we both understand each other now actually."

The two were silent for a bit before Lincoln brought up another topic. "So, how's school? Did you make up with Margo and the others?"

A sad smile appeared on Lynn's face. "Nah. I'm...pretty sure it's over between me and those guys now. Not that I can blame them. I was a pretty rotten friend."

Lincoln frowned upon hearing this. He couldn't imagine losing all her friends was good for Lynn's mental state. He wondered if there was someway he could help her out though nothing was coming to mind right now.

As the four walked on, a shadowy had been following them, hiding in the darkness. The figure was wearing cybernetic armour along with a helmet covering their head.

...

A gromflomite soldier entered the rather old fashioned office of one of the Federation's new, strange generals. He saluted him. "General Needful! We have an urgent report!"

Mr. Needful sighed, having been in the middle of making one of his cursed items. "What is it?"

"One of our scouts has reported Rick Sanchez appearing on the planet alongside three of his grandchildren."

Mr. Needful's eyes widened. "He didn't spot them did he?"

"No sir!"

"Have you found his ship?"

"There are no signs of his ship on the planet, sir!"

Mr. Needful held his chin in thought. "He must have used his portal gun to get here then." He grinned. "Inform President Tammy immediately! After that, we'll keep an eye on him. When the moment is right, we'll strike!"

...

Ronnie Anne was at the airport, holding a sign that said 'Dad' when she gasped upon spotting Arturo, pulling a suitcase behind him. She immediately dropped her sign and ran over to wrap her arms around him, catching him off guard. "Oh!"

"I'm so glad you're here!" Ronnie Anne greeted him.

Arturo hugged her back. "Mi Ronita!"

Ronnie Anne then let go before grabbing Arturo's hand. "Come on! There's so much to do and see!"

...

As Ronnie Anne and Arturo rode home in a taxi, Arturo had a rather concerned look on his face. "Ronita, A-Are you sure it's okay I'm staying in your building?" He rubbed his arm. "It's been a while since I've seen your abuelitos."

"Dad, stop worrying! Everyone's glad you're here." Ronnie Anne assured him.

Arturo tapped Ronnie Anne on the nose, causing her to giggle. "Ah, pues. If you say so."

...

Back at the apartment building, Bobby was setting up a banner that read 'Bienvenido Dad'. He was being helped by Hector, albeit begrudgingly as he had a deep scowl on his face. "Abuelo, do you think that's enough stickers? Ooh, maybe it needs glitter."

Hector's scowl deepened in response. CJ then came up behind him, squishing his cheeks to try and make him smile. "Abuelo, stop scowling." This didn't work as Hector grumbled something to himself after CJ let go.

Carlos and Frida then entered the room as Carlos let out a squeal. "Is he here yet?"

Frida smirked. "Mmm-hmm, still have your man-crush?"

"Oh, I don't know what you're talking about." Carlos said before checking his breath to see how it smelled. "Good."

Carlota then came running up the stairs, excitedly. "The apartment's all ready, and I did the whole thing for twenty bucks, I even had enough left to get these cute espadrilles." She then tried to show off her new shoes before losing balance and falling over. "Ugh! I'm still breaking them in."

Bobby giggled before yelping at the sight of Rosa wearing a gas mask, causing him to fall off the ladder. Rosa took off the mask. "The mole is almost ready, I'm working with some very hot chiles." She held up some hot peppers which had markings on them that made them almost resemble skulls.

Hector folded his arms with a sour expression on his face. "I asked for mole for lunch, ne!" He stuck his tongue out. "Arturo comes into town and we have mole."

Everyone then heard a car horn. "That must be them." Bobby said.

The family began to run downstairs to greet them though Carlota tripped up on the way. "Ah! Ugh! No wonder these were on sale."

...

"Buenos daros, familia!" Artuto greeted everyone outside of the apartment building. Apart from Hector, everyone shouted their own greetings back. "Cómo estás? It's great to see you." Arturo said as Bobby came up to hug him.

Things then became awkward as Maria stepped forward. Neither knew what to say for a moment.

"Arturo."

"Maria."

Maria offered a handshake while Arturo offered a hug. The two began sheepishly stuttering as Maria just ended up placing a hand over Arturo's closed fist.

"Awkward." Sergio remarked.

Maria then gave Arturo a piece of paper. "Well, here are all the numbers you'll need." She then headed towards the taxi.

"Wait, where are you going Maria?" Arturo asked.

"To the spa, I waited almost two years for it to be your weekend with the kids." She gave both Ronnie Anne and Bobby a kiss before getting into the taxi. "Have fun with your Dad, Chicos."

...

There was an awkward silence as the family ate lunch together. Eventually, Ronnie Anne broke the silence. "So, Dad, I bet it's a nice change to have someone cook for you. Huh?"

"Actually some of my patients cook for me, oh, you should taste Sra. Luisa's lomo saltado, ooh, requisimo."

"Hrmm."

Arturo noticed Rosa was frowning at him. "But, but, but, this is delicious too."

"Well sounds like he doesn't need our food." Hector said as he was about to take Arturo's food before Ronnie Anne stopped him.

"Well, I bet you've really missed TV, I recorded all the seasons of Adios Ana, Adios you missed." Ronnie Anne said.

"Oh, I've been meaning to tell you, the last season was filmed in Peru, I was an extra, Dead Guy Number Four." Arturo then pretended to play dead.

Carlota and Carl had stars in their eyes. "Wow, your life sounds so amazing." Carlota admitted.

"Yeah, way better than here. Who would wanna leave-" Before Carl could finish, Ronnie Anne stuffed some tamales into his and Carlota's mouths.

Hector rolled his eyes. "Oh, how glamorous." He snarked bitterly as he tried to ignore the side eye Rosa was giving him.

Ronnie Anne held up a pitcher. "Dad, did you know that Abuela made delicious horchata? Bet they don't have that in Peru."

"Sorry Mija, but, I'm cutting down on-"

"Sugar."

Arturo looked at Rosa who said 'sugar' at the same time as him. "I look in on you from time to time with my third eye." Rosa said as she tapped Arturo's forehead.

"She's just kidding Dad, she can't really see you in Peru." Ronnie Anne said.

Rosa folded her arms. "Yes I can. You know for a doctor, you don't wash your hands much." Arturo looked at his hands before laughing nervously and clearing his throat.

"Is anyone else feeling chilly?" Carlos asked before spreading his arms, revealing that he was wearing a rather colourful looking manta. "Good thing I have my traditional Peruvian manta."

"Ah, yes, mantas, all the old ladies in the village wear them." Arturo remarked.

Carlos sunk down, suddenly looking rather embarrassed.

"Hey Dad, how's the produce there? I heard the papayas are huge." Bobby asked.

"What's the craziest injury you've ever treated?" Carl asked.

"What's the fashion like in Peru?" Carlota asked.

"Can I go to Peru? For my birthday?" CJ asked.

Ronnie Anne started growling in frustration before calming herself down. She then got up and went over to Artuto before dragging him away. "You know what, Dad, how about I show you around Royal Woods. You're gonna love the sights here."

...

"So how exactly are we going to track down Tammy?" Lori asked Rick. Rick didn't give a response as his eyes were narrowed, looking as if he was concentrating on something else. "Rick?"

Suddenly, Rick turned around and fired his laser gun at a building, blowing it up. A figure rolled out away from the wrecked building before quickly standing up. Rick fired a couple more shots at them though they were able to dodge the shots by cartwheeling out of the way before standing up, raising their hands in surrender. "Wait! Don't shoot!"

"That voice..." Lincoln said, finding it strangely familiar.

"Who the fuck are you and why are you following us?!" Rick shouted, still aiming his gun at the figure. The figure then took off his helmet. Both Lincoln and Lori's jaws dropped as they saw someone they never thought they would ever see again.

"Principal Huggins?!" Both of them exclaimed at the same time.

Sure enough, the man before them was their old principal though he had grown a full beard since they had last met. Rick raised an eyebrow. "Who now?" It then suddenly came to him. "Oh! The guy that got off from killing frogs."

Huggins scowled. "I do not get off from-" He shook his head. "Oh, never mind."

"I can't believe you're still alive." Lori admitted.

Huggins sighed. "Yes, it's a long story. Also just call me Wilbur. I'm not a principal any more."

"Ok, well do you mind telling us why you were following us first?" Rick asked.

A remorseful expression appeared on Wilbur's face. "I wasn't sure how I should have approached you. I wanted to apologise for what I did in the past. The idea of a fantasy like that becoming real made me lose all sense. I'm deeply sorry for what I tried to do. Though, truth be told, I should also be thankful. Being sent away to an alien planet was probably the best thing to ever happen to me."

"What happened after Rick sent you away?" Lincoln asked.

"Well it wasn't easy to deal with at first. I wasn't sent to the planet Kekku, home of the Twikeks. As if being on a strange alien planet with nowhere to go wasn't hard enough, the Galactic Federation invaded it not long after I arrived. Before they were able to capture me, I was saved by one of the twikeks. After we fled the planet, she taught me how to fight. We then assembled our own rebellion group. We called ourselves The Defiance." Wilbur explained.

Lincoln stared at Wilbur in shock and awe. "You were part of a team of rebels?!"

Wilbur let out an awkward chuckle. "Not just a team member. I'm actually their leader. We thought the fighting was done when the Federation fell. That was until the New Galactic Federation was formed. We've been continuing the fight but they seemed to be growing more and more powerful ever since."

Rick raised an eyebrow. "Cool story, but uh, what does any of that have to do with us?"

Wilbur let out a sigh. "I know I don't have the right to ask for any favours but I need your help. Our last mission went rather badly. Some of our team got captured. They're currently being held in a prison not too far from here. I wanted to ask for your help to rescue them."

Rick gave Wilbur a deadpan look. "Dude, last time we met, you literally tried to kill us. Why should we help you?"

"Wait, maybe we should help him?" Lori argued.

"And why is that?" Rick asked.

"Maybe we'll get a clue about where Tammy is at this prison. And even if we don't, we'd still be helping to stick it to her."

Rick thought considered it for a moment before turning back to Wilbur. "Alright, fine. You're lucky my grandkids have a hero complex. Where is this prison then?"

...

After leaving the apartment building, Ronnie Anne turned to Arturo. "Ready to get to know the city?" She asked as she got out a camera.

The two then spent the day together. They hung out at an arcade, played a soccer game together and even bought some hot dogs. Arturo wanted to check out Anatomy Park though he dropped it after Ronnie Anne brought up that she was banned from going there for whatever reason. Which was something that was still a mystery to Ronnie Anne.

Eventually they returned home where they played a game of cards with Bobby. Arturo let out a loud burp. "Aye perdón, must have been the hot dogs. You really should show me that fusion cuisine place at some point, Ronita."

"I told you that you'd love it here, Dad." Ronnie Anne looked at her cards before slamming one down. "I win, again."

Bobby dropped his cards. "Dang it." He then stood up. "Well, I'd better get back to the mercado."

After Bobby left, Ronnie Anne turned to Artuto. "Hey Dad, can we talk? There's something important I wanted to ask."

"Gina Mija, I always hoped we'd have moments like this." Arturo said excitedly. "Is it about a boy? Or a girl... Ah, uh, so sorry, you talk."

"Oh, it's nothing like that, we've been just having such a great time, and I've missed you so much..." There was a sad look in Ronnie Anne's eyes as she said that. "I was kind of hoping, and I know this sounds crazy, just hear me out."

Arturo had an idea of what Ronnie Anne wanted. "Oh, Ronita, I know where this is going, but your mom and I are better off as friends."

Ronnie Anne held her hands up. "Ew, Dad, no, I'm not talking about you and mom getting back together, I'm trying to ask you to move back to the city. If the headquarters is here, can't you work there?"

"Ohh!" Arturo let out a sigh. "Mijita, I would love to, I miss you and Bobby every day, but, it's not that easy, my job really does need me in Peru." He placed a hand on his chest. "I made a commitment to the community there." Ronnie Anne let out a sigh of disappointment. "Palmira, maybe I can talk to my boss, about coming back more, and maybe you and Bobby could visit me, and instead of talking once a day, we'll talk twice, or three times."

"Ok, sounds good." Ronnie Anne said, still looking rather disappointed.

Arturo ruffled her hair a bit. "Come here, give your papa a hug."

Ronnie Anne closed her eyes as she wrapped her arms around her father. "I love you, Dad."

"I love you too, sweetie."

...

Ronnie Anne was in her room, sat on her bed with Clyde and Sid as she kept bouncing a ball against the wall in frustration. "This isn't fair! He's always thinking about his patients, but Bobby and I need him too." She then threw it hard enough to make a crack in the wall before folding her arms, letting the ball bounce between two walls.

This forced Sid to duck under it whenever it came over. She gave Ronnie Anne a nervous smile. "First we gotta get that ball away from you." She caught the ball. "Maybe your dad doesn't think you and Bobby need help, I mean you're both doing great, you just won the spelling bee and your hair has never looked healthier."

Ronnie Anne's eyes widened. "Sid! that's it, I know how to get my dad to stay. I just need to convince him that I've become a real bad girl!"

"Well, that shouldn't be too hard." Clyde remarked. "You're already the toughest kid in our class."

Ronnie Anne shook her head. "No, no, I mean a REAL bad girl. The type that skips school and hangs with the wrong crowd. And I think I know how to do it!"

...

Ronnie Anne was in Carlota's room. After having had Ronnie Anne's plan explained to her, Carlota was now trying to figure out the right look for it. "Alright, what screams rebel?" There were stars in her eyes as it suddenly came to her. "Wait! I have a vision!"

...

By the time Carlota was done with her makeover, Ronnie Anne was wearing purple eyeshadow, a black leather vest, purple ripped jeans, black fingerless gloves and black boots with metal spikes. Carlota was ecstatic with how Ronnie Anne turned out. "Gah! Perfecto!" She then looked at Ronnie Anne's ponytail. "Now we have to do something about that hair."

...

Upon seeing the hi-tech prison facility, Rick couldn't help but roll his eyes. "Of course this is what the Federation would dedicate its resources towards. A prison." Despite looking nowhere near as advanced as the prison Rick was kept at, it still looked somewhat advanced.

"You remember the plan, right?" Wilbur asked. "You need to hack into the system and-"

"Already done." Rick said upon finishing typing something into his watch. "The security systems are down. There won't be any alarms and the cameras won't pick up on us."

Wilbur blinked in surprise. "Oh. Well then." He then got out some kind of bomb and threw it towards the facility. The bomb let out a clear, odourless gas that rendered all the gromflomite guards outside of the prison unconscious. As they waited for the gas to clear, Wilbur typed something into a device on his wrist that brought up a hologram of the prison. He pointed to the side of it. "There's an entrance here that leads to the vents inside of the prison. We'll go in, find my team, then get out back through the vents before anyone in there figures out something is wrong. Everyone get that?" Everyone else nodded in response.

...

Wilbur, Rick, Lori, Lynn and Lincoln all quietly crawled through the vents, careful not to make any loud sounds. As they went through, Lynn noticed a grate in which she could see into one of the rooms. Curious, she looked through where she could see into a cafeteria. Her eyes then widened in shock. She was someone that she hadn't actually ever met but still looked strikingly familiar to her. "Um...guys?" Lynn whispered.

Rick looked back, looking annoyed. "Lynn, we don't exactly have time to mess around."

"Y-You're gonna wanna see this."

Rick, as well as Lori, crawled over to where Lynn was and took a look. Both of them had the same reaction as Lynn. "Holy shit..." Rick whispered.

In the cafeteria, there was a little girl around Lana and Lola's age. While she was wearing prisoner clothes like everyone else, she had brown hair which looked almost exactly the same as Tammy's. But she had wings and her face resembled Birdperson's. She was sat a table when a gromflomite served her some brown slop onto her tray. As she began to eat, a one-eyed alien came up to her and started growling before slapping her tray onto the floor. The girl stared at the alien for a moment before suddenly becoming aggressive, climbing onto the alien and slamming her tray onto his face. She then began punching him and stabbing him with her fork after he fell to the floor.

Some winged gromflomite guards came in to stop the fight. "Oh fuck." One of them exclaimed at the violent sight.

"Do you ever think putting the violent ones in the same place might be counterproductive?" Another one asked.

"They don't pay us to think, Phil."

"No, you're right, sorry."

The girl was kicking and screaming as the guards dragged her out of the cafeteria.

"Please tell me that girl isn't what I think she is." Lori pleaded.

Rick thought for a moment. "I mean, I guess it makes sense. Bird people pregnancies don't really last long."

Lori gave Rick a look of disbelief. "She looks like she's the twins' age!"

"Y-Yeah...they, uh, mature pretty quickly too. At least in those early stages."

Lori didn't know what was more shocking. The fact that Tammy and Birdperson actually had a child or the fact that Tammy just dumped her own daughter into a prison.

"We have to go save her!" Lynn stated. "We can't just leave her here!"

Rick groaned. "Look, don't take this the wrong way but we kinda have more important things going on."

Lori gave Rick an angered look. "Are you seriously suggesting we just leave a child here?"

"Ugh, fine! Lynn, you go find wherever her cell is and try and get her into the vents. If you think there might be any issue at all then just come back."

Lynn nodded. "On it!"

...

As luck would have it, Lynn was able to find an opening into the girl's cell and there didn't seem to be any guards watching her at the time. Upon opening the vent, the girl looked up and immediately gasped at Lynn. Lynn put a finger to her lips to get her to shush. "Shh. Don't worry. I'm here to help. What's your name?"

The girl considered her for a moment before answering. "My name is Birddaughter."

Lynn gave her a deadpan look. "Of course it is." Lynn got out of the vent and landed on the floor. "I'm Lynn. I'm gonna help get you outta here." Birddaughter's eyes widened. "You just need to follow me through this vent. After we get out, we'll...huh?"

...

"They should be nearby." Wilbur told the others. They soon came up to a grate where they could see a cell with four prisoners. One of them was a pink alien with two tendrils coming from her head. One was a female alien like Squanchy who had her hair in pig tails. One was a robot with one eye and the last one was a wingless gromflomite with a pink pompadour. There were two guards guarding this cell. Wilbur shot some blow darts at them which caused them to become completely paralysed, not even moving an inch upon getting shot. After double checking that the coast was clear, Wilbur and the others climbed out of the vent. He checked the guards for keys before using them to unlock the cell.

The aliens all grinned upon seeing Wilbur. "Wilbur, you old squanch, I knew you'd come back for us!" The female member of Squanchy's species said.

The pink alien with tendrils smirked as she crossed her arms. "Knew we could count on you, Gramps."

Wilbur chuckled as he opened the cell. "Oh, come on, I'm not that old." His expression went serious. "Ok, we don't have much time. We'll need to quickly go back through these vents before-"

Everyone then started hearing some voices down the hallway. "We have an emergency!"

"We have an intruder!"

"Why isn't the alarm system going off?"

Realising that they weren't talking about them, Rick's eyes widened. "Ah, shit!"

...

"What are you doing?!" Lynn shouted as she tried to push Birddaughter off of her. As Lynn was explaining how they were gonna escape, Birddaughter suddenly tackled her with a surprising amount of strength and began trying to beat her. "Why are you trying to fight me?! I'm just trying to get you out of here!"

"I don't want to leave!" Birddaughter growled.

Lynn gave her a baffled look. "Huh?" She then noticed some gromflomite guards had come up to the cell and were aiming their guns at her. "Oh crud!" Before they could fire though, all of them were shot in the head by Rick and Wilbur as they, Lori, Lincoln and the Defiance all came up to the cell.

"See, this is why I didn't want to do all of this at once!" Rick complained as he used a laser to cut a hole into the cell. He then came in and pulled Birddaughter off of Lynn before injecting her with something, causing her to instantly go unconscious.

"What did you just do?" Lincoln asked worriedly.

"I got her to take a nap." Rick explained as he carried her over his shoulder. "Well, since the quiet way didn't work, I guess it's time to do things my way. Everyone stand behind me." He ordered as he prepared to blow up the wall.

...

As Rosa was preparing dinner, Arturo was sat at the table, reading some paperwork when Ronnie Anne came stomping in, her hair now styled into a spiky pixie cut. She kicked over a pile of throw pillows before taking a seat at the table which was when Arturo noticed her. "Ronita, just in time for dinner."

"Dinner, huh?" Ronnie Anne said before putting her feet on the table, knocking over an orange juice cup and leaving dirt on the tablecloth. "Dinner is for losers."

Arturo looked at her in confusion. "What's with the new look?"

Ronnie Anne smirked. "What is this, twenty-questions?"

Arturo's expression became stern. "Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, I'm not crazy about that tone Señorita."

"And I'm not crazy about that shirt." Ronnie Anne said before feeling like she might be going too far. "Just kidding, it looks great."

Arturo picked up his paperwork and stood up. "I have to go to my conference, but when I get back, you and I are going to have a chat about this attitude."

After Arturo left, Ronnie Anne pumped her fist. "Yes!"

...

Clyde and Sid were hanging out in Sid's room when they heard someone knock on the door. "Oh, that must be Ronnie Anne." Clyde said before he went over to answer it. "AAH!" Clyde yelped upon opening the door and seeing Ronnie Anne. "Please don't beat me up!"

"Guys, it's me." Ronnie Anne exclaimed.

"Sweet new look." Sid remarked. "So, did you get your dad to stay?"

"We made some progress, but we still need a closure to finish the job. How good are you guys at impressions?"

"I'm great, do you want a chimpanzee?" Sid then started making chimpanzee noises as she beat her chest and scratched her armpits. "Or maybe a humpback whale." She then began making some odd noises and facial expressions as she tried to imitate a humpback whale.

Ronnie Anne put a finger to Sid's lip. "Actually, I think I'm gonna need Clyde for this one."

Clyde gulped at the sound of this. "Oh boy."

...

Upon hearing his phone ring, Arturo quickly answered it. "Bueno?"

"Is this Dr. Santiago?" Clyde asked as he tried to do an impression of Mr. Goldenfold.

"Si."

"This is Mr. Goldenfold."

"Oh, you're Ronnie Anne's teacher. She's told me so many...things about you." Arturo said as he couldn't think of a way to put it positively.

"Yeah, well, did you know that Ronnie Anne was skipping classes and throwing her life away?"

Arturo raised an eyebrow. "Are you sure? That doesn't sound like her."

"Well it is!" Clyde shouted before coughing from trying to imitate Mr. Goldenfold's shouting. "Uh, in fact I heard that she's been hanging out with the wrong crowd, in an alley behind the fish market, in fact, I bet she's there right now."

Arturo sighed. "Ok, I'll go look for her there now."

"Yeah, I hope you do! And if we ever meet, don't ever discuss this with me again!"

"Uh, ok?"

"Good! Goodbye!" Clyde then hung up before turning to Ronnie Anne and Sid. "I think he bought it."

"Sweet. Now we just need to give you two a makeover."

...

After Rick blew up the wall, he and the others ran out of the prison facility, only to find themselves surrounded by a small army of gromflomite soldiers. "Shit! How'd they assemble this so fast?" Rick asked.

"Surrender and put your hands in the air, now!" One of the gromflomite soldiers shouted. "There's no where for you to go!"

"Yeah that's what you think!" Rick shouted back as he got out his portal gun. However, it was suddenly destroyed as a sniper suddenly shot a bullet through it. "What the hell?"

The group then heard chuckling as a familiar figure emerged from the crowd. "We meet again, Rick." Mr. Needful greeted.

Rick blinked in confusion. "What the fuck are you doing here?!"

"I got a new job. By the way, if you were looking for Tammy, she's not here. I'd say she's busy preparing to conquer the Earth right about now."

Rick's eyes widened. "What?!"

Mr. Needful grinned maliciously. "In fact, I remember she said something about invading Royal Woods first. I should probably go join right about now."

A look of fury appeared on Rick's face as he realised why they destroyed his portal gun. "You fucking son of a bitch!"

A feeling of dread came over Lincoln, Lori and Lynn. "Oh no..." Lincoln said, fearing for the worst.

Mr. Needful addressed the soldiers. "Remember, we need Rick alive. I don't think President Tammy cares what happens to the others though." He then snapped his fingers and disappeared within a pillar of fire.

"I won't repeat myself. Surrender or else!" The gromflomite soldier shouted.

"Rick, what do we do now?" Lori asked, panic in her eyes.

Rick needed a moment to think about that.

Carlota had just about finished applying makeup to Clyde, making it look like he had been beaten up. Sid meanwhile had had her hair dyed pink and was now wearing a black hoodie with blue fishnets on her arms and legs. "O, M, G, you guys look so legit, I am such a good stylist." Carlota complimented herself.

"So I just need to act like a punk, right?" Sid asked.

"Yeah, just follow my lead." Ronnie Anne replied.

Sid tried to put on a tough face. "Yeah, you're looking at the kinda girl who doesn't have milk in her cereal!"

"Uh, yeah, go with your gut."

Carlota waved at them. "Good luck, we'll see you at home." She then noticed Carl strut out of a nearby alley with green hair and a leather jacket. "Carl, no." She then dragged Carl away.

"But I wanna be a rebel." Carl whined.

Not long after, Arturo's taxi drove by when he noticed Ronnie Anne. "Espera, stop!" He shouted urgently at the driver.

Meanwhile, the three were in the middle of a chat. "So, when do you think Twelve Is Midnight's next album is coming out?" Clyde asked.

Before Sid could answer, Ronnie Anne noticed Arturo as she gasped. "It's my dad, quick, places."

The three got into position as Ronnie Anne and Sid stood threateningly over a quivering Clyde. "Please Ronnie Anne! I'll do all of your homework if you let me live." Clyde pleaded.

Ronnie Anne cracked her knuckles. "Plus extra credit, or else."

As Ronnie Anne made a fist, Arturo grabbed her arm. "Ronalda! What is going on?! You're skipping school, getting into fights?"

Ronnie Anne didn't seem concerned. "Sorry you had to see that, I guess I'm not the goody-two-shoes you thought I was. I'm bad, real bad."

"Ok, that's enough, you're coming with me, you're in big trouble jovencita." Arturo stated before attempting to push Ronnie Anne away.

"What are you gonna do? Ground me from Peru?"

"Oooohhhhh! Burn!" Sid remarked.

Arturo started getting angry. "Quit it Ronalda! I know you're faking it. That tattoo is from the kiddie meal at Burger Barn."

Ronnie Anne looked to see that the tattoo he was referring to was dancing cowboy burger. "Dang it Carlota. Ugh." Her expression became apologetic. "I'm sorry, I just figured if you thought I was getting into trouble, you wouldn't go back to Peru." Ronnie Anne then noticed Arturo's attention was elsewhere as he was staring up at the sky with a fearful look. "Dad?"

"Ah..." Was the only sound Arturo made as he continued staring. Ronnie Anne, along with Clyde and Sid, looked to where Arturo was looking, only for their expressions becoming similar to Arturo's as they stared up at the gigantic Galactic Federation mothership floating above Royal Woods.
