I'm leaving,” Lexandra said.   
“No I-I won’t let you leave us again,y-you can’t sis,” Emma said tearing up.
“Come on you’re our big sister and even if you don’t care, we love you and don’t want you to leave,” Max said grabbing Lexandra’s shoulder.
“I’m doing this for you, if I’m around you, you’re in danger,” Lexandra said pulling away from Max’s grip on her shoulder.
“How are we in danger?” Max said.
“I can’t say and I gotta go,” Lexandra said walking out leaving her sister crying.
    Lexadra was clenching her hands into to fists and walking off with rage at the Galactic Federation. She was so mad that she had to leave her family and this was all because she was as smart as her great grandfather. Rick Sanchez was her great grandfather, he was proclaimed to be the smartest being of every multiverse. So they did tests on Lexandra and her siblings. Lexandra was the only one compatible with Rick. 
    “How am I as smart as Rick,” Lexandra thought.
    “Hey you, you’re under arres....” Someone tried to say when Lexandra started running.
“Get back here in the name of the galactic government, you’re under arrest,” An alien screamed with five other’s running behind him with their guns aimed at Lexandra.
“Do not shoot her! We need her,” One of the green bug guys said.   
    Lexandra pulled out her purple portal gun and shot it at the ground, she fell in the portal. As one of the bugs tried to follow her through, the portal closed and he was cut in half. There legs hit the ground and kept twitching. Lexandra frowned at them and held her head.
“How do I always get into these messes…” Lexandra said to herself.
“Who are you and why do you have a portal gun?” A old blue haired man said.
A boy right beside him had a yellow t-shirt on and the older man had a blue shirt and lab coat on. 
“Wait that’s my great grandfather and my dad, but they look so much younger. Did I travel back in time!” Lexadra thought. 
“Im Lexandra and...” she said as she looked down at her gun. “Dang it! I grabbed the wrong gun, I grabbed the time travel portal gun on accident!”
“Ha, that answers one of the questions,” Rick said smirking.
    “Well then here’s the other answer, I’m Morty’s daughter from the future and your my great grandfather,” Lexandra said.
    “Wait, I have a daughter!” Morty said astonished.
    “Yup, three kids actually, Max, Emma, and me,” Lexandra said.
    “Wow, so I have three kids… Who is the mom?” Morty said.
    Lexandra looked away and thought of her mom Jessica getting dragged out of a window by those green bug guys.
    “Her name was Jessica,” Lexandra said.
    Morty eyes went wide and he started blushing.
    “O-oh wow Morty you'd-done and great job,” Rick burped out sarcastically with a slow clap. 
    Lexandra started to chuckle because of how Rick was. Lexandra always knew she was very similar to Rick. Rick and Morty motioned Lexandra to follow them and then walked away.
    “So I’m kinda on the run from the Galactic Government,” Lexandra said.
    Rick turned around and smirked at Lexandra.
    “Yup you’re part of the family then,” Morty said rolling his eyes.
    “I kinda picked up on that when I saw twitchy over there,” Rick said pointing to the half alien on the ground. 
    Rick shot a green portal in front of them. Rick and Morty walked through. Lexandra hesitated but finally stepped through into the family garage.
“Well great-granddaughter welcome to my lab,” Rick said. 
    Lexandra raised an eyebrow and looked around, It was just a normal garage, with normal tools.
    “So is there a button that makes all your equipment come out somewhere?” Lexandra asked crossing her arms.
    “Well first I gotta know if you’re actually who you say you are,” Rick said walking over to his desk and pulling out a needle. 
    Rick walked over to Lexandra and without hesitation she put out her arm. 
“If she was a fake she would have already bailed or stalled,” Rick said as he injected the needle into her arm.
Lexandra just stood there bored, looking around waiting to see his legendary inventions. Rick pulled the needle from Lexandra’s arm and walked back over to his desk. 
    He pulled out another weird looking box shaped contraption. It was light blue with wires at the top and was labeled “blood test”. Rick injected Lexandra’s blood into a little slot in the top. The box opened on yet another side and a small piece of paper dropped out that said “Compatible”.
“Ok your safe,” Rick said.
    “Told ya,” Lexandra said rolling her eyes.
    “So how have you never been here with your Rick?” Morty questioned.
    Lexandra looked at Rick and sadness filled her eyes. She missed the Rick she knew. ”Why did he have to die? It wasn’t fair,” she thought.
     Rick snapped his fingers at Lexandra, bringing her out of her trance.
    “DId I leave you or am I still with you,” Rick said denying the fact that he could ever pass away.
    “You got shot saving me,” Lexandra said teary eyed.
    Rick looked at Lexandra for awhile. “You ran away I presume.”
    Lexandra nodded and Rick pushed a button on the bottom of his desk and one of the boards on the wall flipped over with tons of weapons on it. Also a huge shelf came out of the wall with weird gadgets and tools spread on the shelves.
Rick had a blank expression the entire time after Lexandra told him about his death, indicating nothing about how he felt about it.
A girl walked into the garage. She had red hair with a pink top and white pants. She looked Lexandra over.
    “Who is this?” She asked.
    “Im Lexandra, aun...” Lexandra started but was then interrupted by Rick.
    “Summer, this is Morty’s friend and they were just leaving,” Rick said nonchalantly.
    “Where are you two going?” Summer said.
    “A walk since it’s such a beautiful day outside,” Lexandra said giving an innocent smile.
    “Yup,” Morty agreed nervously.
    “Ok have fun you too,” Rick said pushing Morty and Lexandra out of his garage.
    They walked a little bit away from the house. Then Morty stopped.
    “So how is it with me and J-Jessica?” Morty said.
    “Mother was killed,” Lexandra said bluntly.
    ‘Aw jeez…” Morty said.
    “I really shouldn’t be telling you this stuff, Da… I mean Morty,” Lexandra said grabbing the back of her neck.
    “Alright you two come on,” Rick said grabbing the back of Lexandra and Morty shirt dragging them back into the garage.
    “Hey! Let go of me!” Lexandra shouted at Rick.
      He let go and she fell to the ground.
    “Jerk,” Lexandra said getting up.
    “You told me to let go,” Rick said and smirked.
     He dragged Morty the rest of the way back to the garage.Rick let go of morty shirt and morty fell on the garage door.
    “Where are we going,” Lexandra said.
    “You’ll see,” Rick said and shot Lexandra’s portal gun.
They all walked through a purple portal.”It’s time to end these moron’s, they think they can kill me.Im the Rickest Rick!,” Rick thought.
     Lexandra looked around shocked remembering this was the place that Rick got shot.   
    It was in the center of the building of the Galactic federation! Lexandra heart sank into a black hole thinking about how she lost her mother here at a different time she lost Rick.”This place is my curse,”She thought.
    “What do you think your doing,” Lexandra said angrily.
    “I going to make sure I stay alive,” Rick said.
    “Won’t that mess with my timeline,” Lexandra questioned.
    “Relax I got this lex,” Rick said.
    “Don’t call me that,” Lexandra said annoyed.
    All of a sudden there was alarm going off, the light’s above Rick’s,Lexandra’s,and Morty’s Head were flashing red. They all ducked behind a counter. As they seen Rick and a younger Lexandra running for the exist.
    Some of the green bug’s jumped in front of the past Lexandra.
    “Rick what are we gonna do!,” Past Lexandra said.
    Rick shot some of the alien’s that were coming at the them but one managed to grab past lexi’s ponytail and pull her in the crowd of bug’s. The past Rick jumped up from the counter and shot the alien’s hand. It let go of Lexandra. Lexandra got up and ran to Rick. 
    “Run lexi!,” The past Rick said.
    Past Rick and Lexandra ran out of the door. The bugs were following them as they jumped into the ship and drove away. 
    “Ok we can leave now,” Rick said.
    “Is my Rick alive!,” Lexandra said loudly.
    “Yes and be more quiet, your gonna get us caught,”Rick said whispering.
    “Oh Jeez, Rick um,” Morty said.
    As Rick and Lexandra looked up they seen those green bug’s coming towards them. Rick shot the time portal. 
    “Come on,” Yelled jumping through the portal.
    Lexandra and Morty jumped in as the portal shut.
    “Well I will see you guys in the future,” Lexandra said grabbing her time portal from Rick.
    “See you later,” Morty said.
    Rick put up a peace sign as Lexandra opened a portal and walked through it.
    She appeared in her room as she heard a knock on the door. 
    “Lexandra come on,” Rick said.
    Lexandra slammed open the door and hugged Rick.
    “Hey, is everything good?,” Rick questioned patting Lexandra’s back concerned.
    “Everything is great,” She said letting go of Rick.
    Lexandra wondered how he still looked seventy three but decided to ask another day.
    “Where are we going?,” Lexandra asked smiling.
    Rick looked at her for a moment.
    “Why is she acting so strange,” Rick thought.
    “Um yeah…we're going to planet 564RF6, How did you already forget that?,” Rick said crossing his arms.
    “Oh yeah, sorry I didn’t get enough sleep last night, it must have slipped my mind,”Lexandra said.
    “It’s all good, come on,” Rick said grabbing Lexandra’s hand and dragging her down stairs.
    They jumped through a portal and landed on blue sand. Lexandra looked at the sky with creature’s flying around. She even noticed a dog with wing’s. The sky was a light neon orange and the clouds were a very light pink. She turned to see these creatures with red eyes and green skin looking at her. 
    “Hello?,” One of them said. 
    “Do you speak english,” One of the other’s said breaking apart every word.
    Rick looked at lexandra and rolled his eyes.
            “Zeep Larpa zoop,”Lexandra said smirking.
    “Oh no this is gonna be tuff,”One of the green female’s said. 
    “Ha, I'm just kidding yes we speak english,” Lexandra said.
    “Have you seen a man named Qeeley,”Rick questioned.
    “Rick Sanchez!,” Someone unseen from behind the crowd of aliens said.
    “Qeeley! It’s been too long dwaug, how are you?,” Rick said.
    “Well besides that weebler and orapwons left me, it’s been great,” Qeeley said.
Qeeley was very short and looked like the rest of the aliens here but he had purple skin instead.
    “Who is this Rick?,” Qeeley said.
    “Oh just my great granddaughter, Lexandra,” Rick said smiling at me.
