The Fall

On an ordinary afternoon, with the Smiths doing their ordinary things, the doorbell rang out of the ordinary. Morty and Summer continued to watch Interdimensional Cable unperturbed until their dad yelled from the kitchen for them to answer it. They both got up and Morty opened the door.

Standing tall above them was a hideous creature with sharp fangs, tentacles coming out from all over, with two large oval shaped lumps coming out from its chin, and oozing green liquid. The creature made an unusual sound at them.

Summer, freaked out as always, immediately slammed the door in its face. "Grandpa Rickkkkk", she yelled, "it’s for you! Hurry!!"

Rick came from around the corner wondering what all the slamming and screaming was about. Morty trembling, began to describe the creature but before he could finish Rick interrupted. “You did what?!” he yelled. “Everybody knows that you don’t slam a door on a Blim Blam else you will become cursed.”

“Cursed?” Morty whimpered. Suddenly the door burst open and the hideous creature barged in. Morty fainted at the sight of it and Summer began to scream, "It’s so ugly. Get away from me! Tell it to go home!"

“Summer stop!”Rick began to say but it was too late.

The creature was furious now. It started speaking in some sort of language. It slowly raised its slimy hands towards them and began chanting.

Summer worriedly asked Rick, “What is he saying?”

“Well, he just cursed you two”, Rick said.

Morty, coming to his senses, began to wail. Summer, panicking but trying to remain calm, asks what that means.

“Uhm,” Rick said as he belched, “Let me ask what kind of curse it is”. Rick casually starts to speak the creature's language. Rick turned to his grandchildren, “Well, he wanted you guys to be transplanted into another lifeform in an alternate dimension for a few lifetimes but...” he said before being interrupted.

“NO. You’re kidding right? Grandpa Rick, this isn’t funny” Summer says.

“Shut up Summer” Rick said. “You guys are lucky. Your grandpa Rick struck a deal with him and now you have the freedom to determine your fate,” he said chuckling.

“What kind of choice?” Morty asks.

“Simple” Rick states, “He will transfer you to an alternate dimension and will put your mind into a life form there but you have to do this seven times. I can come visit to help you when absolutely needed. Orrrrrrr he will transfer you to an alternate dimension and will put your mind into a life form there and you only have to do this three times. The catch is I will not be able to help you, but rather I will have a clone of myself, which will be your enemies.”

Morty and Summer discussed worriedly. They did not know which was worse. They did not want to choose but they had no choice.

While the two were discussing what their choice would be Blim Blam began to think how he would transport these two humans to another dimension. He then remembered he had his trusty syringe that would suck the concious or mind of any creature. This would allow him to get their mind and insert it into another creature. So although their bodies might be different they will still act and think as their old body or self would.

Finally, after a few minutes, Morty said hesitantly, "The second option". Summer nodded in agreement. The two figured they would not survive long without their grandpa and therefore would be home quicker.

(But was this the right choice? )

The creature came forward with his syringe device and stuck it in Summer's head and she fell over. The syringe was filled with a pink liquid that matched the color of Summer's shirt. The creature then came to Morty. Morty tried fighting it but Rick held him down. He screamed as the syringe devise went into his skin and then there was nothing.

Summer and Morty wake up from the helmet. "What the heck! Did we just die?! Do you remember any of that? " Summer asked. Morty shook his head no. "Then these vials must be like a virtiual reality, right? We couldn't have died, we are alive right now", Summer said. There was a long pause. "Or maybe these actually happned!" Summer said panicking, "Maybe Rick cleared this from our minds so we would never remember what happned to us!" Morty being a bit shy, "Well...uhh.. yeah maybe.. that does seem like something Rick would do but.. why would he? Did something bad happen to us?" Curious to see what happened next, they both begin to look at the vials to see where they would be placed. The vials next to the Fall were paired; one said "Princess" so Summer picked it up and put it in her helmet. Morty looks at the one that was next to hers and it says "E___ Morty". The first word was smudged and he could not figure out what it was. He decided to just put it in his helmet and see what happened. Morty figured it couldn't be too bad since it had his name on it. Morty put the vial in and saw the screen pop up.

Now entering: Separation. Enjoy!"

Authors Note: The following short stories will be about what happens with Rick and Morty meets Indian Epics. It will be following the tale of Jaya and Vijaya. These characters will be played by Morty and Summer. Rick will be playing the god Vishnu. In the Jaya and Vijaya story, these two were the doormen of the god Vishnu. One day after denying entrance to another god, they were cursed. Vishnu spoke on their behalf and allowed them to choose their fate. They could either live as devotees of Vishnu on Earth for seven lifetimes or as enemies of Vishnu for three lifetimes on Earth. I paralleled this to Morty and Summer. They were rude to a creature and therefore were cursed by it. They then now had a choice to determine their fate that would require them to be “reincarnated”/ have minds transplanted into another life form but it would be without their grandpa. To them this is almost a death sentence because they have no knowledge of other places and always cling to their grandpa for support. I chose the picture because it really connected with how I feel they felt at the time: worried, anxious, confused, and scared. I really like Rick and Morty and thought I could connect the two pretty well, which is why I decided to go with it. For those that watch the show I hope it was understood that the vials are a reference to Morty's Mind Blowers. To those that haven't seen it, watch it and these vials are memories that Rick has earased. Therefore, I am using them as old collections of memories that have been stored secretly. Summer and Morty are now discoveirng a past that they never new existed. Hope you all enjoy!
