Rick opened a portal in the garage and motioned me to get in. He picked some place oddly normal. There were other people, in human cars on the human streets. I feel a draft come from my back, and I realize the cold air wasn't wind. It's the AC adjusting the temperature in the building. I wasn't outside, but looking out the window of some sort of office. Rick hopped in and I had to ask, "Rick, where'd you take us?"

"Adult Swim." He replied shortly. I felt chills.

"What are we doing here, Rick? And how did you find out about this place?" He didn't answer me. He just walked down the hallway. He gave me a box with a belt attached to it. He put it on and flipped the switch on the box. He disappeared, and I got the gist of why we had come here.

I had turned myself invisible too, and I felt Rick's hand on my shoulder, guiding me to where he trying to take us. We entered a room with a group of nerds talking about a storyboard. "Look," Rick whispered. "The panels seem familiar to you at all?" I had wide eyes as I realized that girl in the sketch of Rick and Morty is me. And in those panels, it was us three on our way to their house. Then, we met Jerry, then Beth.. The nervous face I made as I realized I said Beth.

Despite knowing more, my confusion only grew.

Rick opened a portal. I was about to jump in, but I stood back when I unexpectedly turned visible again. I looked behind me, and Rick was loading a gun. "Rick.." I called him curiously.

"Listen, _, I don't know what you got out of that back there, but you aren't real to this dimension."

"Wh.. How? Just to this dimension? I don't understand.."

He sighed. "I.. discovered something last night. Sometimes the definition of reality doesn't always match up to other universes- it's not a constant. In your universe, you're real. In mine, you're just like me. When you crossed dimensions and went inside my universe- a lower tier universe- you became a part of my world, controlled by these assholes. The longer you stay in my world, the less power you have over your own will."

"And what's killing them gonna do, Rick? Life wouldn't continue on without the writers or animators, just like those aliens in the microverse battery, Rick."

"False. We're not in a box or anything easily destroyed. We're a show all over the TV, internet, not just some studio or files in a computer. As long as we have that, which we will until this earth dies, my dimension'll live."

"You haven't tried to kill them all this time, so why now?"

"Right now, your willpower is fine. Somehow, the timeline isn't matched and you're controlling their present. You saw it, they're barely animating your arrival. You've got some control on their future too, which is, you know, cool and all, but you're gonna be just like me pretty soon. I'd give you about a day- less than that. If you predicted something," I felt chills. I did predict that he'd go into the kitchen while I was eating breakfast. "it's just you already deciding what's gonna happen in whatever fucking episode they've got you in. But that little gift isn't gonna last, _. Because you'll lose the power of will. Doesn't that sound like something to worry about to you? "

"Well, yeah, but I'll have to go back home, Rick." I said, trying to convince him not to murder these people. Even if it means I can't live with Rick, I want to spare these innocent people that just think they're only doing what they love. "So if you haven't killed them up until I came along, when I go it won't be a problem." I rested my hand on his, the hand that held his gun. Rick shook my hand off. "Rick, come on. Just let this go, why can't you just send me back home when the Meeseeks are done?" Rick lost his cool for a moment and snapped at me.

"Because I want you to stay, you little idiot!" Rick said in a falling tone. He frowned and let his guard down. His face wasn't strong with anger. He looked gently at me with that soft frown of his. He sighed and put his gun away. "Alright, fine. Since you're so eager to leave." That stung hard.

"Oh, so I'm the bad guy when I'm going back home? You tyrannical asshole, you left Beth for twenty years."

"At least I came back!"

"Are you trying to justify abandoning your daughter? Jesus Christ.."

"Yeah, you know what? Even I don't know why I'm trying to explain myself to an idiot."

"You love me one minute, and the next you're insulting me. How typical of you."

"I don't love you, you crazy bitch!"

"Oh that's right, I forgot that's how a couple of drunk guys designed you to be!" Rick shouted and pushed me in the portal. I landed on the floor of his garage. I picked myself up and grabbed the Mister Meeseeks box. I slammed the button.

"I'm Mister Meeseeks, look at me!"

"Mister Meeseeks, take me to my dimension.. Take me home."

"Oooh, yeah! Caaan do!" The peculiar blue guy shuffled through a box and pulled out a replica of Rick's portal gun. "Wheeeere to?"

"Dimension C-134."

He shot a portal open.

"Thanks, Mister Meeseeks."

"You have to go through before I can leave, look at me!"

"Oh, right.. Actually, since I already used one invention," I said as I looked around, "I might as well take some, too- as a souvenir, of course." I grabbed a muscle memory syringe, a space gun, a bottle of vodka (okay, so it's not an invention, but...), and I spotted the butter robot. Next to him was the trail mix perfector. I threw it against the ground, and it shattered. "Give that gun, too."

"I'm Mister Meeseeks, no can do, ma'am. Rick wouldn't like it if I let anyone else have this." I shot him in the head, making him disappear. I picked up the portal gun, too, and hopped back home.

I'm so sorry that you guys had to wait so long! It wasn't my intention. Let me explain:

I'm a senior in high school, so on top of having to study for ACT (which I'm finally done with) and doing things to prepare for applications (I already missed the deadline ;w;), I have homework and chores to do on the weekend and because my doctor says I need to start sleeping 10 hours a night, I have to sleep as soon as I get home from work. I'm basically busy all the time @_@. Anyways, thanks for being so patient, you guys! You're all super. ^-^

And as always, don't forget to vote on chapters you like! It helps me know what kinda content y'all are into.
