     this wasn’t the dib human, though zim had to wonder what the stranger was doing on his front lawn. maybe it was a clever ruse to get zim to shut down his defenses, the small alien had no idea but he was curious about this human. 

           “what are you here for? what do you want?”

“C-Can you believe Beth sometimes? L-Like she was any better than you kids when she was- urp -young.” Rick said, fiddling idly with his portal gun. Most would assume that this was when he popped a portal into the floor and slid off the couch-- Beckoning one of the Smith children on another harebrained adventure for some menial task. 

However, this time, it was merely to check that it wasn’t broken. Can never be too careful with interdimensional travel devices. No, they were on ‘house arrest’ until the two Smith parents returned from their ‘therapy date’. No ‘crazy shenanigans whatsoever’ as they put it. So he merely examines the glow inside the tube before his gaze flicked to the blue-haired Smith.

“’Check the emergency numbers on the fridge if something goes wrong.’ R-Right,” he began, moving to take a swig of his flask (despite being told no drinking). “like any ambulance is gonna get you twerps to the hospital faster than me.”

“Just because they’re asking who t-took their ‘highly precious’--” this is emphasized with air quotes, “b-batteries doesn’t automatically mean it’s your grandpa Rick.” The man began, hastily stashing the glowing tubes into his inside coat pocket. He’d absolutely stolen the alleged batteries and Rick had no plans on returning them. 

“A-Aren’t you all harping about all that tr- urp! -ust crap nowadays? They’re probably just here to steal my shit and/or one of you guys. G-Good thing your dad isn’t here to tell ‘em where the valuables are this time.” 

He glanced to the pounding at the door and then Morti, who was very likely realizing it was another impromptu trek with Grandpa Rick coming along. “So do you want that router fixed or not?”
