"Wake up Morty. We have to leave as soon possible. Morty!"

"Huh?" Morty asked, trying to shrug off his sleepiness. It was midnight and everything was dark. As he rose Morty saw his Grandfather Rick dressed in his usual outfit, which he wears everyday for some reason, after his eyes adjusted to the dark.

"Rick?" Morty said groggily. "It's so late out right now. Are you trying to wipe out the human race, again?""

"Of course not Morty. I only do that when I'm really drunk, which is only once a week," Rick argued. "I just want to help you with your history homework, like I promised."

Morty's eyes opened wide and no longer felt tired when he heard Rick's words. Morty remembered what happened several hours earlier…

At the Smith household the Smiths and Rick were eating dinner silently, while Rick was also drinking. Morty thought of what he was going to show

Morty knows he wants to ask Rick for help with his history homework, but was also knew how Rick's "help" normally goes. However, it was all or nothing.

Morty took a deep breath. "Rick I would like your help with this history assignment. I have to interview someone about their cultural history. And I don't want to brainwash my teacher, go back in time, or visit another planet. Just talk to them and have your help"

"Sure Morty," Rick replied. He then took another swig.

Beth, Summer, Jerry, and Morty just stared in silence at Rick, who just continued eating dinner.

"What?" Rick asked. "I just want to help Morty without doing any of the stuff he just mentioned."

"No! Rick must be up to something!" Jerry yelled. "He always does things that hurt other people or benefits himself somehow. Like me."

"Actually, I think it's very nice of Rick to be this altruistic for a change," Summer said. "He helped me beat the crap out of Mr. Needful.."

"He had a grudge against your old boss too you know."

Beth sighed. "Please ignore Jerry Dad, but promise you won't do anything crazy with Morty when talking to the neighbors or anyone else in town. I think it's very nice of you to help Morty."

Rick raised his hand in salute. "I swear on my honor *burp* as a scientist I won't do any of the actions you or Morty said. Also, it was partially Jerry's fault when Snowball tried to enslave mankind and entirely his fault when the Mr. Meeseeks' went on a rampage."

"Hey!" Jerry yelled.

"Thanks Rick," Morty simply said.

In Morty's room Morty had just finished putting on his causal clothes.

"I appreciate you helping me but why do we have to wake up so early?" Morty asked. "Couldn't we wait till tomorrow to interview people?"

"Because the place were going in dimension CN52IDW20 is currently daytime," Rick said as he inputted the coordinates on his portal gun. "It would take too long to explain why."

"I would like to know…" Morty said before he realized what Rick just said.

Time travel, brainwashing, other planets, neighbors, anyone else in town.

"Rick, I don't want to go to…" Before Morty could finish his request, Rick shot the ground with his portal gun and the scientist and his grandson fell into it, with the latter screaming all the way.

The portal disappeared, and only silence remained.
