#shitrick

and im not sure if that was before or after he met Rick but if it was after it was pretty shortly after. im also not sure /exactly/ how it all went down, but it was before Rick met Resident Morty (who is NOT his original Morty, idk what happened to his original Morty though) 

after that they spent quite a bit of time working together, and by working i mean robbing drugstores to get ingredients for their weird science shit. 

and over the years Ricks tolerance for shitRick grew less and less, until it got to the point where Rick was doing pretty much all he could to push shitRick away. of course shitRick still wanted to be friends with Rick (in fact, he thought they /were/ friends instead of it just being a practical alliance based on mutual aide) so he had a pretty hard time letting Rick go. in fact, he couldnt really do it at all. i mean, his original dimension was uninhabitable by him, its not easy for him to just FIND another one to substitute, and Rick was really the only person who he actually knew, and Rick was familiar so of course he wanted to stick around the ONLY thing that has been constant and familiar. so he did. he followed Rick through pretty much every dimension he stayed in, not getting too close, but certainly keeping a close watch on him. Rick quickly became aware of this and did everything he could to deter shitRick, but yknow shitRick /is/ a Rick. and eventually Rick just. stopped bothering. and eventually it seemed like shitRick left him alone, and was letting him be. 

after Rick met Resident Morty and he found a nice place to hide from society with his grandson, he never really thought about shitRick anymore. he just kinda hoped that maybe shitRick died or something, yknow. so hed never have to see him again

haha
