Beatle smiles happily, sleeping in bed while hugging a star plushie.

"Wakey, wakey!" smiled an adorable British voice. She flaps her hands adorably, giggles, and hugs Beatle. "Hellu my beautiful boyfriend!"

"Uh... Hey, Ruru," said Beatle, standing up. "Hahaha! Ahhh... You look wonderful today."

"So do you!" Aurora and Beatle share a passionate kiss together. "Oh! Got ya somethin'!"

Beatle is given an actual robotic Optimus Prime she made herself. "HOLY SHIT!!! YES!!! OH MY GOD, I LOVE YOU!!!" Beatle kisses her more and slow dances with her, laughing as he gently brushes his forehead on hers. "Thank you, Aurora!"

Aurora smiles and giggles. "Thank you, Beatle!"

Beatle and Aurora smile while they watch Netflix together while underneath a blanket.

"Bah... These gammy ol' Netflix shows! They never show anything good anymore in the early 2030s!" sighed Aurora.

"Psh! Yeah... Sucks, dude. Dude... Like, LITERALLY AFTER THE 2029?!!? Pbbt..."

"Hahaha!" laughed Aurora. "Gah... Back in our day? Transformers? Beginning with Bumblebee???"

"Remember Transformers One?" smiled Beatle.

"Hahahahah!" laughed Aurora, kissing his head. "Oh! Got to head to work!" she smiled. "Love you!"

"I... love you, too," smiled Beatle.

The house's door is shut while Beatle contemplates. He sighs and goes on to work...

...in his studio. Yep. He's a writer. A novelist. While Aurora, a wealthy businesswoman with high intelligence works out in the day, Beatle humbly writes and helps out with cash within the home. He gets paid daily a rather decent amount to help Aurora with some funds.

Beatle smiles, as he happily writes a new book against Dingdong.

"Hey! Forgot my keys!" laughed Aurora, only to kiss him on the head and turn to what he's writing. "You're writin' about Dingdong? Our Prez? Seriously? You sure, bout that, hon?"

"Yeah... He uh... deserves some criticism, don't you think?"

"Yeah. Huge fan of 'im, though."

"I know! Sensitive subject for you, but... Y'know me! Always... seeing the world differently."

She blushes. She kisses him longly on the cheek. "So do I! Bye!"

Beatle smiles as he happily types into his computer. "God, I'm happy!"

Ding dong! The... doorbell rang...?

Beatle opens the door. "Hey, Aurora? What's wrong? You got your keys al-?"

Beatle meets Anne. "Oh... Anne..." said Beatle.

Anne smiles and hugs him. "Been a while, pare!"

"Uh... Hello..." said Beatle. "What are you doing here?"

"Asked Jed and Chris where you live! Haha!"

"Concerning... Why...?"

"I... need your help..." said Anne.

Beatle's eyes widen.

Later...

"Did you know that old show? Walang Katapusan?" asked Anne. "It's finale is by next month-..."

"What do you mean, 'Colonization Deal'?"

"I mean... Dingdong is selling the Philippines to America!" whispered Anne. "In exchange for a large sum of money AND American citizenship!"

"That sounds outlandish... Don't you think?" asked Beatle.

"Tyrone doesn't think so," said Anne.

"Oh! Tyrone!" smiled Beatle. "How is he?"

Anne's eye twitches in annoyance. "He's... fine! What matters is that I need your help!"

"Why? You're a lawyer. Just lawyer your way outta this mess."

"So, you do believe me?"

"Yeah. I mean... Of course. You have the evidence on this file... so..."

Anne smiles and hugs him. "Thank you, Beatle!" Anne kisses him on the cheek. "Thank you!"

"What do I do?" asked Beatle.

"Just... Run some numbers for me... Write an article! Anything to bring the word afloat!"

"That was a friend kiss, right?"

"Christ! Yes! Ew! Don't be weird!" Anne smiles and walks out of the house, waving to him goodbye as she drives away.

Beatle sighs and wipes the kiss off his cheek and proceeds to continue writing. "Wait! Do you EVEN PAY-!!! Nah, wait. I think this is just a favor."

Beatle opens the file and sees... something horrific. "This... This is Aurora's company... 'MorningstarCorp...' Huh... So, Dingdong is planning to sell the Philippines to America? To make it a state, hm... Why is that a bad thing? Shit... Doesn't say it's gonna be a state... Why colonize the Philippines, though?"

Meanwhile...

"Mr. President, please! Calm down!" yelled the Secretary as President Dingdong slams his fist on the table. "No... No, no, no... NO!!! He'll take away MY... POWER!!! He'll take away everything!"

"This prophecy... is just... poppycock! MorningstarCorp just found the archaeological site and it says a bunch of words and now you're fearing for YOUR LIFE!?!?"

"I need to maintain my power! If I get enough money I can buy that STICK!!!"

"What's so important about that stick anyway?"

"That stick!? Whoever it chooses is the ACTUAL ST. KING!!! Don't you SEE!?!? He's the Son of God... Turns out it ain't any of the Middle Eastern countries. It's in the Philippines! One born from Jewish blood here in the Philippines! I HAVE JEWISH BLOOD!!! We need to be smart, Miravel."

"Mr. President, please. You have to cosider the fact that this is just MYTH!!!"

"There was Hebrew in a PHILIPPINE CAVE!!! WHY SHOULDN'T I FEEL THREATENED!?!? There's some kinda piece of shit kid out there who thinks he can take away EVERYTHING I WORKED HARD FOR!!! I need that money!"

"Then why sell your country to the United States?"

"I'm not selling ALL OF IT!!! Just... y'know! Mindanao... Visayas... CAR maybe...?"

"Sir. You're insane. Ever since you declared Martial Law-..."

"It's fine! The people love me, Miravel! And if anyone knows, I swear to God, I will personally take them out. Got that?"

"Yes, sir," nodded Miravel.
