"Oh crap, are you kidding me!? There only needs to be one dot on this thing!" Rick yelled angrily as he shook the device. "Wh-what's going on? What's happening?" Morty twiddled his thumbs nervously. Rick turned to all three of us, glaring daggers at the two grandchildren. "It's that you and Summer have fractured time! You've split up time into two different impossible possibilities! Now we're on a timeline that doesn't exist!" He pushed the button of the garage door and opened it, revealing... Well, floating cats outside. 

I gaped, "W-wait, aren't those Miss Shrodinger's cats?" Rick nodded. "Well, considering that they're in the same timeline as us, they are and they aren't." Summer panicked, flicking her eyes between the floating cats and the empty void beneath us. "Is the world gone? Where are mom and dad!?" Rick pinched the bridge of his nose and sighed.

"Get your head out of the clouds of your parents ass, we're stuck in a timeless oblivion while your parents get to exist in a timeline of their shitty marriage!" He opened the cupboards underneath and pulled out a crystal, inspecting it with squinted eyes.

I groaned, throwing up my hands. "Well it's not our fault we froze time to clean the house up after a party!" Rick pulled out a remote and stuck the crystal onto it.

"There's no time to hold the accountable, (Y/N). We got four hours to be is."

"Or... Or what?" I swallowed nervously.

"We isn't."

Few minutes later

"Oh god, now there's three Ricks! We're outnumbered! Get in the cupboards!" We quickly crawled our way towards them, then Rick halted us suddenly. "W-wait, don't go in the cupboards! O-or think about going in the cupboards but don't actually go in the cupboards!"

I sighed frustratingly. "Will you make up your mind!?" He raised his gun up and shot the cupboards multiple times. He eventually stopped and crouch-walked through the room slowly. "Shh! Oh, I know where you are, you creepy old monster, I know how you think!"

He stopped in the middle of the room and held his gun close. "Oh, think I'm standing here? Well maybe you're right!" My heart pounded as he raised the gun to his head. I screamed.

"NO!!!" I jumped up and tackled him to the ground, while his gun dropped to the floor. "Go, kick it away," I barked, "Don't let him get his hands on that thing!" I subdued him, working my elbow and arm backwards and forwards, and I could hear his pitiful chokes. 

"(Y-Y/N)...?" I tried not to cringe, but when he finally fell into unconsciousness, I dragged his body to the middle of the room where Morty and Summer stood. "Help me get him somewhere safe." Morty stammered, "Wh-what do we put him in?"

I shook my head, glancing around the garage. "I-I dunno, put him in a cage or something!" They both nodded and got to work, while I picked up Rick's gun and plucked the crystal off. I looked up to see what Morty and Summer were up to and sighed disappointingly. They were putting together a dog crate and stuffing Rick into the cage. "Guys, that... That won't hold him." They shrugged, "It's the only cage we have in the garage!"

I nodded. "Okay, but if he manages to break out again, he'll be expecting something from me, so I won't be able to subdue him again." It wasn't long before he gained consciousness, his eyes slowly opening. He rubbed his neck thoroughly, groaning in pain. "Ugh, my neck... What did you do (Y/N)?"

I sighed, crossing my arms. "We put you in a dog crate, because you acted crazy and caused another time fracture!" Summer threw her hands up in the air. "You tried to kill yourself!"

Rick raised his hands, "O-only in self defense! My self tried to kill me first! Look, I don't expect you guys to understand this, but if this timeline splits, it's two times bigger, which means we have as much as half the time we had before." Morty scratched his neck nervously "Well, w-what do we do?"
