Don't mistake her not going back to it as having forgotten!

"It's really nice," Summer allowed, deciding to just sort of bask happily in her own memories for a little moment. "Beautiful sunsets. Quiet. Relaxing....And, I mean, not to brag or anything," totally bragging, "but I can probably do him one better and suggest a few nice private planets to look into, too, if you wanted to take this whole vacay thing off orbit."

Which was...the weirdest part of all, because admitted that you were weird around here was like admitting that water was wet.

"I definitely know somewhere that mixes 'tropical cliche' with 'weird,'" Summer assured her, "but that all kind of depends on whether or not you're weird enough to be cool with a race of hyper-intelligent but honestly kind of snooty lobster people running the show."

And then her expression went a little...conflicted, mostly because of what that small deflation made her feel.

"And...that's not that weird, Jes."

Like...who did she think she was talking to right now?

"Sounds cool, yeah," Summer allowed, "but they can be real dicks sometimes, too. Like anyone without a shell is just not even worth their time, you know? Great mai tais, though."

She considered Jesse a moment longer.

"You should totally go, though," she decided. "I can get you hooked up through Portalocity, even. And it was a part of the former Federation's main hub, so they're actually really great for tourists, even if the former Federation definitely considers Earth basically the multiverse's Florida."

A beat.

"Actually," she realized, "Alabama's probably more accurate."

So you know. Yikes.

Summer's grin in response was a little wry. "Yeaaaah, not the best look," she said, with a what can you do? sort of shrug, "and I don't love it, but also, they're not wrong. They honestly probably wouldn't have even bothered with Earth at all in my universe if it weren't for my grampa."

"That's....kind of a long story," said Summer, realizing that she hadn't actually told this story in a while, and, in a way, it was almost her origin story around here, too, wasn't it? But the crux of Jesse's question was also...a little hard to answer. "And I guess...it'd kind of be easier to say what he didn't do. They had him pegged for so many space crimes, I don't even know probably a third of them, but if you boil it down, he's really the only person in our dimension to actually get interdimensional travel. I think that was the main reason they were after him, without even getting into all the space crimes and misdemeanors.

"Which is kind of crazy to think about the fact that this dimension already has a whole-ass business with interdimensional travel at its core, with an app and everything, but that's probably why Grampa Rick acts like someone pissed in his soda every single time I use it for myself. Like, yeah, sorry, old man, you're not such hot shit after all. Infinite reality, bitch. There's just as many versions of you that suck as there are ones that don't."

There was a pause.

"Ohmygod," Summer said. "I am so telling him about that, it is going to piss him off so much."

Rubbing how absolutely obsolete he was in the grand scheme of things now in Rick Sanchez's face: Summer's new favorite Olympic Sport, and she was going for gold, baybeeeeee!
