The Sanchez Chemical Reaction

Chapter 2: Deal

Summer, Morty, and Rick are all outside now and close the sliding door, not even realizing I was sitting against the wall next to them.

"Morty," I say kind of embarrassed that they didn't notice me. Everyone all kind of backs away surprised that I was there. "I'll go with you to get those crystals. It's not safe on this planet to go alone."

"N-n-not safe?!" He says before glaring at Rick. "W-we need to go back home Rick! You sure these crystals will get us home?"

"Yeah yeah sure morty. How would she even know this planet is dangerous? She's human isn't she? No other human that I know of has traveled to other galaxies." He glances at me suspiciously.

"I-i'm actually not human.." I smile nervously and rub my neck.

Summer and morty both shout, "what?!" And Rick just raises an eyebrow.

"It's-... a long story. But the basics is I'm not human and I've been all over the galaxy."

"W-why didn't you say anything?" Morty looks at me. Summer gives me all her attention too. Backing up Morty's question with, "yeah why not?"

Rick doesn't say anything, probably wanting to know what race I am. "I didn't think it would matter. Besides I doubt you guys have heard of my people. They went extinct thousands of years ago. I'm the only one left."

"A-a-Aw j-jeez y/n. We did-didn't know. We're sorry."

"Yeah totally," summer adds empathetically.

"What planet were you from?" Rick asks clearly not letting the topic float away.

"Marlopea..." I say sadly. I knew Rick would know right away what I was talking about.

"No way," he says under his breath. "Are you the one the federation is after? Y-you know they said you blew up two planets right?" Rick says astonished. It doesn't sound judging, just overall interested.

Morty and summer just shout "what?!" Again and wait for me to respond.

"Yeah I know...I didn't blow up my home planet though. I don't remember what happened since I was practically a toddler."

"But you blew up the other one?!" Rick yet again asks. I just nod guiltily and don't say anything. "Wow that's heavy stuff. I can tell it bothers you. Tell you what, we'll talk about this later if you're alright with that. Right now we've got a crazy party that needs to be maintained and some crystals to pick. Let's solve that stuff first. Morty-"

Quickly the sliding door opens and the guy from earlier ( adolf lincoler) and a girl walk through. Both of them seemingly perfectly walked into a trap.

"Morty why don't you take adolf lincoler with you. It's the least he can do after wrecking our living room."

Summer comments that her other friend Nancy will be joinging Morty since she's so good at the flute. Which doesn't even make sense but she went with it anyways.

I decide to go with Morty just to make sure he stays safe. Rick and Summer head back inside, Rick looking at me one last time before going back to partying hard. Although he seemed to be analyzing me and determining wether it's okay to trust me or not. He seems pretty judgmental. I have a feeling we won't be talking about my planet blowing up again either.

Walking with morty and his other 'friends' had me thinking about the Rick I just met. How would I convince him to teach me? He doesn't seem like he really likes being around anyone for a long period of time. Except maybe other than morty.

"Hey morty," I walk up to him and start conversation. "How's it going with that girl Jessica? You got to talk to her, right?"

A grouchy look was written on his face as he came out of his thoughts. But instantly gave a slight smile at the topic, "I-I-I mean it w-was going really good, y'-y'know? I think there might be something there."
