Episode 7: Part 2 - That's Mime

Your P.O.V

After collecting up your pills from the hospital, you immediately went home and stole the bathroom away before Morty could get to it.  You loved your grandkids but you loved your hygiene more.  Well, that and you were absolutely famished and wanted to get to eating as soon as possible.  As you dried your hair with your towel, your nose picked up a wonderful scent of pancakes wafting out of the kitchen.  You stomach grumbled again, imitating the making call of a whale.  "Yea yea ya crybaby."  You said, patting it.  "Food is on it's way."

You dumped the towel on the floor and made your way into the dining room just to see Beth setting down a plate of freshly made pancakes.  "I am starving!"  You said, sliding into the seat next to Rick.  Beth quickly began serving you up a plate, loading on at least 3 pancakes.  Rick took a swig from his flask, clearly lost in his thoughts.  "Whoa whoa!"  You said to your daughter as she added a forth pancake to the pile.  "That's good enough for now sweetheart.  You don't want me to explode do you?"  Beth smiled and gave a small laugh.  "No I suppose not."

Then Beth turned to Rick.  "Dad?"  She paused a moment as Rick continued to look blankly off, sipping his flask.  "You want any?"  You narrowed your eyes and elbowed him in the side, causing him to choke on his drink.  "Y/N!  You trying to kill me?!"  He managed to sputter between coughs.  His load voice, though not louder than normal, cut through your ears.  "Ow!!"  You covered your ears with your hands.  "You trying to kill me with your flippin banchee voice?!?"  You yelled at him.  Rick noticed you pain and immediately stopped yelling, instead, he spoke quieter tone.  "Dad?"  Beth asked, her voice raised with concern.  "What's going on?"  Rick glanced up at his daughter.  "Just a side effect of Blooming Nightbrain.  So for the sake of your mother's hearing I need you to speak in a quieter voice."  Rick then turned to you.  "Y/N.  Y/N you ok?"

You cringed.  "Jesus Christ riding a Segway I think my eardrums just exploded!!!!"  You said as loudly as you could without doubling over in pain.  "Ok... strange thing to mention at a time like this.  It wasn't that impressive."  Rick said, gently guiding your hands away from your skull.  Rick quickly grabbed your pills off the table and handed you two and his flask.  "The alcohol won't have any adverse effects on the medicine.  It's from a planet where alcohol is physically impossible.  Those poor bastards."  You snatched the flask and pills from him and downed them both in one big gulp.  Beth looked on in silent fear.  As you began to process the pills beginning to take effect, Summer and Morty walked into the room.  They immediately realized something was amiss and looked at their mother in confusion.

"Mom?"  Summer said slowly.  "Is something wrong?"  Before Beth could answer you waved your hand dismissively.  "No no.  I just got a headache that's all.  Just took some of those space pills."  Summer and Morty looked at you with concern before sliding into their seats across from you and Rick.  Morty looked at Rick.  "H-how long will the effects last?"  Rick shrugged.  "Well until her body gets used to the pills the effects will be much worse than usual.  The worst being her sensitivity to sound."  "Well that's just fabulous."  You said sarcastically, stuffing your mouth with pancakes, chewing away the pain.  Summer frowned.  "But how are we going to  have Grandma Y/N avoid loud sounds?  This isn't exactly a quiet neighborhood."

Rick nodded.  "Fair point Summer but I'm way ahead of you."  You rubbed you temples, the pain still rubbing at your skull.  "Inside voices."  You mumbled.  Rick stared at you.  "We ARE using inside voices."  You closed your eyes and rubbed your temples.  "Then library voices.  Jeez..."  Rick watched you shove another mouthful of pancakes into your mouth before whispering.  "There's this planet I can pop Y/N and I over to.  Long science explanation short, sound is a literal impossibility there.  We could stay for a day or two and come back once the pills start to work a bit better."
