    “R-rick,” She said slightly.
    She was so weak and all of a sudden there was a knock on the door.
    “Um is there someone in here,” Morty said.
    “D-dad,” Lexandra said weakly.
    Morty slammed open the door.
    “Aw jeez, what happened,” Morty said freaking out holding his hands up to his head.
     “I don’t remember, help me up please,” Lexandra said her voice straining.
    Morty helped lexandra up and took her to the couch. It was already day, and Rick was sitting by the tv on the couch as well. 
    “Morty what did you do,” Rick yelled.
    “I didn’t do anything, I just found her like this in the bathroom,” Morty yelled.
    “Follow my hand,”Rick said holding his hand in front of Lexandra’s face.
    As Rick moved his hand Lexandra kept looking at it.
    “Ok well your not concussed,” Rick said.
    “She is not what,” Morty questioned.
    “She doesn’t have a concussion,you idiot,” Rick yelled.
    “Are the kids at school already,” Lexandra asked weakly.
    “Yeah it’s about one,” Rick said.
    Rick got up from the couch and walked in the kitchen, a minute later he came back with a medical kit.
    “You cut your eye pretty bad,”Rick said.
    Lexandra leaned back. 
    “It doesn’t hurt that bad,” Lexandra said trying not to cry to look cool in front of Rick.
    “Yeah well stay still,” Rick said puting some blue liquid on her cut.
    The cut started to burn, Lexandra held a couch pillow trying not to scream.
    “Well it should be gone in about a week,” Rick said.
    “I will go call jessica and tell her what happened,” Morty said walking to his room.
    “You know you don’t have to act tough around me, if it hurts it hurts,” Rick said raising his eyebrow.
    Rick left to go put the medical kit back and started to go into the kitchen. 
    “You know i'm not a wimp either but I think it’s time we both except we are human,” Rick said and walked out into the kitchen.
    Lexandra looked blankly at the wall. What could she say, all she knew that Rick and her shared more than she thought, They might be just alike each other.
    Lexandra slowly stood up and walked to the kitchen.
    “I have to go to work, can you drive me there and drop me off,” Lexandra said to Rick.
    “Oh I already called your boss not going to work today,” Rick said.
    “Im perfectly fine and no you didn’t you just figured it out that I had this cut,” Lexandra said.
    “Yeah, I know” He said holding up his phone with Lexandra’s work number on it.
    “Your always forgetting i'm the smartest man in the universe,” Rick said rolling his.
    “So don’t ask me how I got your job’s number,” He said interrupting Lexandra before she could say anything.
    “Whatever, I'm leaving,” Lexandra said walking into the garage.
    Lexandra walked to the workbench, she sat down and started working on a metal plate.
    Lexandra held her head and placed the metal plate against her eye.When she pulled the plate off the cut wasn’t visible anymore. Rick walked into the room. 
    “So your inventions actually do work,” He said with a smirk.
    “Oh shut up, they always work,” Lexandra said rolling her eyes.
    “Sure they do,”Rick said laughing.
    “Why is when I don’t feel good you pick on me,”Lexandra whined.
    “Because it’s easier to aggravate you,” Rick said.
    “Whatever,”Lexandra said rolling her eyes again and getting up out of her chair.
    Rick grabbed Lexandra arm and pulled her back down into her chair. 
“I need to know exactly what happened to your eye,” Rick said furrowing his brow.
“Well I remember having a headache in the middle of the night and walking to the bathroom,” Lexandra said.
“So this happened at night,” Rick asked.
“Then my vision was blurring and the floor was spinning,” Lexandra said.
“I remember feeling so weak and dizzy and then falling. After that I guess I passed out cause I woke up with blood everywhere, then I yelled for you and ran in.
“So you fainted and cut your eye that’s it,” Rick said raising his eyebrow.
“As much as I can remember,”Lexandra said shrugging.
    “Alright, I just thought there was something you weren't telling me,” Rick said.
    “What did you think happened,” Lexandra asked.
    “Well anything could happen so,I didn’t know but I thought it was worse than it was,”Rick said.
    “That’s all I remember,”Lexandra said.
    “Your glad you didnt a concussion,”Rick said.
    “It wasn’t that bad,”Lexandra said rolling her eyes.
    “Yeah well i'm going to Blips and Chitz,” Rick said standing up.
    “Can I come, I haven’t done anything fun in awhile,”Lexandra said standing up.
    “Im mean you got leg’s so I can’t stop you from following me,” Rick said opening up a portal.
    “So i'm gonna take that as you want me to go with you,”Lexandra said.
    “Whatever you say Lex,” Rick said smirking.
    “Don’t call me that,” Lexandra said.
    As they went into Blips and Chitz Lexandra looked around at all the arcade games and weird aliens.
    Rick shrugged and walked over to a bar on the side of the arcade. He seen someone familiar. She had red hair and blue skin. 
    “Unity,” He asked as his voice cracked.
    “Oh hey, it’s um you,” Unity said.
    “Yeah Rick,” He said.
    “So um why are you here,”Unity said sitting up.
    “I'm with my great granddaughter,”Rick said.
    “Oh i'm sorry but I just remember I had to do something,” Unity said rushing off.
    “Oh...ok,”Rick said leaning back in his chair.
    Rick opened his flask and drunk the whole thing down.He then motioned the bartender to get him a drink.
    Lexandra was still looking arcade games, when someone grabbed her shoulder.
    “Hey may I talk too you for a second,”Unity said.
    “Who are you and don’t touch me,”Lexandra said.
    “Wow your just like Rick,ok well my name is unity and was Rick’s old girlfriend.
    “Ok and why should I care,”Lexandra said trying to go to the arcade machine that was called “Roy 5”.
    “Well I want you to keep Rice away from me because I have to meet another hive mind in ten minutes and it’s really important,” Unity said trying to sound hopeful.
    “How do I do that,”Lexandra said.
    “I will be at the bar so just keep him out of there,”Unity said.
    “Oh well that’s gonna be hard to do,” Lexandra said.
    “Please just for twenty minutes,” Unity said.
    “Fine, what do I get out of it,”Lexandra said.
    Unity stopped and thought about it. She then went through her hand bag and pulled out five hundred dollars.
    “Here have it,” Unity said giving to Lexandra and walking off.
    “Ok,” Lexandra said walking to the bar.
    “Hey buddy, you know your my favorite grandchild,” Rick said.
    “Oh wow, so let’s go play Roy,” Lexandra said.   
    “Oh ok,” Rick said.
    “Your really hammered aren’t you,” Lexandra said.
    “Yup,”Rick said burping.
    Unity slipped into the bar behind Rick and Lexandra. 
    “Well I think I need to go home actually,” Rick said.
    “Oh um ok,” Lexandra said as Rick collapsed on Lexandra’s shoulder.
Lexandra grabbed the portal gun from Rick’s lab coat pocket and shot a portal at a wall. Lexandra dragged Rick through it as Rick fell on the floor and puked.
    “Welp guess I have to clean that up, great thanks Rick,”Lexandra said at the passed out Rick. 
    Lexandra dragged Rick to the couch and went to the garage. She then grabbed the Meeseek’s box. She went back to where Rick puked and pressed the Meeseek button. 
    A Meeseek’s popped out of thin air, it looked so happy. It had blue skin and a couple orange hair at the top of its head.
“I'm Mr.Meeseek’s look at me,” It said.
    “Clean up the puke,”Lexandra said.
    “Sure do,” The Meeseek’s said still happy.   
    As the Meeseek’s started cleaning the mess, Lexandra went over to the passed out Rick. 
    “Didn’t know you get the messed up about love, I guess there’s something we both have in common as well,” Lexandra said.    “What was that,” Emma said.
    “Don’t know, let’s wake up Rick,”Max said.
    “Rick wake up,” Emma said shaking Rick.
    Rick’s eye’s snapped open and he jumped up. Without saying anything Rick went up to Lexandra’s room.
    “Hey,”Rick said and knocked on her door.
    “Yeah Rick,”Lexandra asked.
    “I know you talked to unity, I seen you with her and I also know what she said,”Rick said rolling his eyes,” 
    “Oh yeah, I didn’t know who she was until she told me,” Lexandra said.
    “How much money did she give you,” Rick questioned.
    “Five hundred,”Lexandra said.
    “She is really desperate,”Rick said laughing.
    “Well it’s over now,” Lexandra said.
    “Well come on, I gotta show you something,” Rick said.
    “Ok Rick,” Lexandra said.
    Lexandra and Rick went to the garage.
    “Ok well this is a fleedem,” Rick said holding a little creature with wings.
    “Why is it cute,”Lexandra said.
    “That’s your opinion, also it’s a baby and when it grows up it could snap you like a twig,”Rick said rolling her eyes.
    “Oh well, what are you gonna do with it,”Lexandra said.
    “Well for right now it needs to be nurtured but when it grows up I will have to put it in the basement in a Vibraneium cage,”Rick said handing the creature to Leaxandra.
    “Well I guess I could take care of it,”Lexandra said.
    “So you can take care of this,”Rick said.
    “Yes I can,” Lexandra with a smile.
    “Ok well I just wanted to say thank you,”Rick said.
    “For what, the animal is cute and it’s gonna be easy,”Lexandra said.
    “No, for saving my life,”’Rick said walking out.
    “Oh,”Lexandra said.
    As Rick walked out she smiled. 
    “So wishes can come true,” Lexandra said and walked out of sight.

    Lexandra walked to her room and sat on her bed.
    Emma and Max ran up th pavement to there house. 
    “Do you think one of them are gonna help us,” Emma said.
    “Probably not but we can try,” Max said.
    When they opened the door they seen the Meeseek’s and a passed out Rick.
    “All done,” The Meeseek’s said exploading.
