Chapter 28: Friday, Lucky Friday
<><><>
At dawn, in the windowless bedroom, Jane Had a dream ~ In-which she was relaxed in-a Bathtub ~ peaceful-&-cosy in the bubble-bath… thinking Of-Paul ~ Whom-she Loved…
… the bedroom Glowed-warps in-Gold ~ with a-Tint of Blue… it was All-tranquil-of mind/body/spirit…
… until the visually-impaired tween Felt ‘abnormally’ of-Movement coming from beneath the-Water – when there were subtle-vibrations from where she-Sat… and felt ‘it’ In her-bottoms, in chest-deep Water…
‘… is the-Bathtub Flying…!?’
Confused, Blind-Jane was feeling her-feet-&-hands in the-Water – where her toes-Tips could ‘not’ touch the Ceramic-Of the-bathtub ~ she Panicked as the Fear-of-Drowning came to her… where in-the past, when she was 6… and-Dozed-off ~ where she Almost Drowned in a hotel’s bathtub…
… since-Then, Jane was Afraid-Of-Water à and ‘scared’ of Swimming Pools-Too…
She conquered her-Fear… realising the-Water was Up-in her-breast Level…
‘… am I in a kiddie-pool? Where is… Samuel-&-Lola…?’
Jane was distracted by Voices-Coming from her-Left à sounds of a Woman singing a Roman song-Of-the Old, accompanied by tunes-Of harps-&-flutes…
The Cursed-scar on the girl’s Forehead Grew-Warm à and, Jane’s 3rd-Eye Opened ~ and she saw Green-glows of Mother-Venus. Dora, and 12-Cupids’ presence in an ancient Roman-public pool. Venus was bathing-&-singing with a-few of the Little-seraphines playing the musical instruments while the rest were dancing in-the-air Like-fairies…
… they were the dozen Of-cupids that were warriors-in the-Garden-Of-Eden, when Asmodeus sent his African-demons (… and Yaldabaoth ‘sent’ Metatron to ‘nuke’ the Paradise-parkland of flora-&-fauna) à but the-Time traveller, John-See ‘had’ Rescued the-12 by Transporting them in the Pentateuch, before the destruction of Garden-Of-Eden…
The Wraith-Dora, (the surviving-Virgo Rebel-Sister) was in the-Water too… busy eating Unripen-mangoes…
… Jane’s Tastebuds Felt the-Acidic sourness of-the-mangoes in her mouth à as she Too-ate the fruit During the GOE-mission… where she Wandered-Off ~ as Apo-in-her belly ‘wanted’ to-Eat it … that Jane ‘plucked’ From the-Tree-Of-Life…
‘… huh… I’m in the Cube-Of-Apollo… how-Can It-Be…!?’
Jane stood-up naked, in the knee-deep Water of the warm-Vapouring pool… Looking-confused. Immediately 3-Cupids, whom she ‘Recognized,’ flew to her. It was Senoi, Sensenoi-&-Sammongelot (… the Late-Kerubiel’s bodyguards @the Tree-Of-Knowledge). The 3-cupids wrapped the nakedness Of-the pregnant-tween with a White silk-robe…
… Jane Knew the-trio when-Peter (possessed By-Iskurr, the-Incubus) à ‘had’ Found-Her in the Hide-&-Seek-game… which-Their Cursed-souls Played at night in the-Paradise Garden à on-his Giant-Quakka that he Rode-on, Peter Came-&-set-Fire in All-Of the Cupid caves to Lure-out his Prized-Victim, (…one in-which Where Jane-Hid )à Blind-Jane Escaped the frightening Ordeal of Being-raped… where she Was ‘guided’ to Her-safety by the 3-Cupids…
Displeased of ‘being’ abducted-in her Dreams – Jane-Shouted…
“Why Am-I Here! I Hate-you All ~ I Don’t Want-Anyone-Of-You TO-BE NEAR Me!!!”
Mother-Venus-Replied…
“… Calm-down, dear ~ I ‘want’ to-make Peace with You…”
“NO! I Don’t Trust Betrayers! Stay-Away from-Me!”
The smallest-cupid named Juniper flew to-Jane. It had Lost an-Arm-&-Leg in the Battle-Of-Garden Of-Eden (… the Missing-Limbs were ‘replaced’ with bionics ~ curtesy of SIMY-&-John See). Juniper was telling-Jane to calm-Down in its baby-chirps Language…
… Jane Knew Juniper at the-Lake in the-Paradise ~ who was crying… ‘when’ Peter Killed 2-Of-its compatriots… after he bludgeoned them with his-Babolat, and threw the Broken-wings duo into the-water, and left to drown…
“NO! Get-Away from Me!”
Juniper wailed when Jane Chase-It away. Mother Venus Spoke…
“… calm-Down, Jane ~ you’re with-baby… if you get-Angry, Apolonia Would-Be Angry-Too… just Calm-down, dear. Apo Has-been Saying to-Me, that you’ve Been a Good-Mother to her, hahaha ~ Always ‘protecting’ her-from Harm…
“… once you Give-birth to Our-Saviour Daughter ~ I’ll Bless-you with Rewards-Of-Beyond your-World…
“… Listen-Jane… the All-Woman Venusian-Trinity Would-Be the ‘future’ religion on-Earth for mankind-to worship-&-pray àReplacing the cumbersome-&-flawed Abrahamic-Trinity Faiths. So, when that-Time comes ~ I Need you to-Take More-initiative in your-Involvement in Our-maternal Movement Cause…
“… Our-philosophy is the Down-fall of Man, was-That He ‘attaining’ Too-Much-Knowledge that Corrupted-him à and he ‘further’ make-Damages to-the-World… but in-Our Neu-Faith, It Would-Be more-of Everlasting mangoes of the-Tree-Of-Life, and Less-Of-the rotten-Apples…
“… your-Sister-Virgo, Dora is ‘now’ pregnant in the-Venusian’s 2nd-Immaculate Conception ~ where she’ll Give-birth to the Almighty Jupiter very-soon…”
Jane heard the crunching-Sound of the wraith Eating the unripe-Mangoes…
‘… huh… Dora-is-Pregnant Too ~ what Has ‘anything’ Of-This got-To do-to-Me…?’
Mother-Venus spoke Again…
“… Jane… I want to-Bless you, where in-Our Holy Book, The-Avestas Would-Be Rewritten, when you Would-Be sung-&-praised as the mortal-Mother Who gave-birth to the Saviour-Daughter – the Redeemer-Of-Mankind in the New-Ages ~ and-Soon, women would-Out Populate-Man… and, We Wouldn’t Be the Weaker-gender No-More in the-Times Of-Righteous Father Jupiter, as the King-Of-the Our-World…
“… this is-where the-Forgotten Roman-Gods will ‘reign’ Again, and Mankind Would-Bring them-Forth to-the-Altar and-Be Worshipped once-More…
“… I have-Meditated Long-and-Deep into-It, and Our-Father, Jupiter ‘has’ Spoken-to-Me à He Wants a-Hand in Marriage to-mortal-Mother of the First-Immaculate Conception which is-You, Jane ~ Once He’s Born…”
Blind-Jane was in-a-Fit Of-Rage, and screamed…
“No! Are you-Fishing-Crazy? à I’m NOT-Getting Bl**** Married with your-Old God! Venus, I want Nothing TO-DO of your Plans-&-Cause, since You-All Tricked-me to Have ‘this’ Baby, you-Hear me…!? You Used-Me with No-respect to My-Body-&-Freewill… and I’m a-Minor-too, on top-Of-it ~ ‘what’ you’re You Going-to-Say About That-Meddling with my-Life…Hah!?
“You-Listen, Venus… the Moment Apolonia Is-Born… I’ll Give Her to-you-All à and, I want No-Part of your-Bl****-Religion. I’m ‘just’ Want my-Life ‘back’ with Paul ~ and, we’re both-are Quitting the Council-Of-12 Too! To-Hell with you-All!!!”
The Roman-goddess implored…
“Forget Paul-&-Peter ~ They’re Nothing-significant in-This-Universe! But-what I’m Offering is-an Eternal Mother-Nature’s Blessing ~ Don’t-Be a Fool who Doesn’t accept this Divine-Godsend Sacred-sign…! We would Immortalize-You!”
The rebel-Jane Walked-away, Saying…
“FISH-You! I Don’t-Care ‘nor’ Need-It à cos’ I’m an-Atheist, you-Hear me, Venus!!? I’m Warning-you ~ Stay-Away from Me-&-Paul!!!”
Jane walked-Out of the bathing-Chamber, leaving Behind the worried-&-concerned Venus (where-Her grand-scheme of ‘future’ plans-Of-the Roman-Deities Walked-on earth was put-On-hold) …
Outside, Jane’s 3rd-Eye spotted Another-Green glow in the corridor… it Was a girl-Of Her-age à who Looked Like-her-Too…
… but Soulless…
… the-girl Waved to-Her, but Blind-Jane Walked-Away… ignoring…
Jane Doesn’t Know Of-the-AI Sentient daughter ‘existence’ ~ who, SIMY ‘had’ Created in her-Likeness Called Jane2.0… (AKA Alita ~The-Battle Angel) …
The tween-Cyborg’s eyes recalibrated TO-READ the-Runes markings Behind Jane’s White-Robe…
‘Bride #666’
<>
In the windowless-Bedroom, Jane Woke-from her-Dream in the-Cube-Of-Apollo. The visually-Impaired girl heard the soft sound of the Whale-song in the background… ‘drowned’ by the cooing-snores of Paul, with his-warm body in the Single-bed…
… her boyfriend was shivering too, in the air-con blowing at That-early-Morning. She got-Off the bed and covered the-Blue-glow with the fennel-blanket. She tiptoed and left the-bedroom TO-GO Upstairs to continue sleeping, (which she Lacked) ~ after the Late-night visitation-Of-Caroline @the CDC Hospital…
…furthermore, her-Former SHS Principal, Tom-Harris Would-Be ‘arriving’ in the-morning (… to Stay 3-nights ‘with’ Them ~ until Caroline was ‘discharged’) …
‘… I Don’t ‘want’ Principal-Harris TO-SEE me ‘sleeping in Pauly-room – it’s disrespectful…’
As she Went-up the stairs… Jane Recalled-Back to the ‘unfair-&-bigoted’ dream in the Cube-Of-Apollo ~ she mentally-Talked to the-womb…
‘… listen-Apo, I Don’t-want No-part in Your-religion… you ‘hear’ me…?’
The womb didn’t Respond.
<><>
PAUL WAS AWAKENED WHEN he Heard voices Outside. In his windowless bedroom, the whale-song and the Avatar-Like displays were Going-On in the semi-dark room. The boyfriend Realised Too-that Jane-was-Gone during dusk…
‘… oh-shit… Principal Harris is Here…’
He was ‘glad’ that Jane-Left à it was because of the school’s sex-Scandal (involving the-Walker-Twins ‘too’) – which Led-to Tom Harris TO-BE FIRED As-Principal ~ after 4 Students were Pregnant ‘when’ They-Came during the First-Day of-the Final-Term…
On his-bed, watching the illusion-Lights of marine-creatures ‘swimming’ across-the-Wall, Paul Thought-of Tom Harris ~ the BF of the-Insp-Of-Perth…
‘… He ‘really’ Loves-Mom ~ and, he took the-Fall For her Twins’ ‘mistakes’… which-Man would Love a woman-Whose Sons are Ragbags who Ruining his-Career… especially the sons-Of-the Inspector of-Perth…?’
He Recalled yesterday’s Visitation @CDC-Hospital… where Paul Broke-Down and cried out-Of Guilt that à he could-Do Nothing… ‘that’ Led-to his-mom Being-injured-By zombies…
… Tom ‘had’ Hugged him when He-wept in-Front of Caroline (à that ‘variant’ of Caroline, as-A-Mother ~ who-Haven’t Hugged-Him in POST-TREETON ~ probably in-Resentment to the-Sons-Of her Late ‘rotten’ Husband) …
Paul-then thought…
‘… if you Love Her, Principal Harris ~ she’s wholly-Yours… she Has Given-Up on her-useless Twin-sons a Long-Long Time-Ago… go Make Mom-Happy ‘without’ Us, Sir…’
The big-sized teen Looked-at the alarm-clock – 8:47 AM., on a-Friday Morning. He took the remote-Clicker and switched-Off the 3D-Display-Lights… before Levitating in a hurry to his wheelchair…
‘… it’s 2nd-Period in-SHS’ classes à and, Here- I-Am ‘still’ in bed à what Would Principal-Harris ‘think’ Of-me…? A Lazy-Slacker… Who got his blind-GF ‘preggo,’ (… even-though, That Not-What Happened… we’re ‘both’ medically Certified-virgins) … but-sadly He-Lost his Job-Anyway, due to the supernatural Technicality-Of the Divine Intervention…bummer… welcome to my Bad-Luck realm, Principal Harris…’
When he was Outside, he heard Nana’s voice Upstairs (showing Tom the ‘guest-room). Paul didn’t Wait-around to greet his-principal… he went to-the-dunny.
<>
Ten-Minutes-Later, Paul showed-Up at the Ikea-Dining table… Tom was There drinking coffee, Paul greeted the principal, and parked himself at the table. Nana came-Out of the Kitchen, serving hot-pancakes. They ate at the table, the 2-Adults were reminiscing repeated info/events of yesterday @CDC Hospital.
Jane joined-Them, a quarter-after 9 and greeted Tom-Harris before she had her-brekkie. The youngster heard Tom saying that the mayor was imposing partial Lockdown’s curfews in certain-Areas ~ and ‘not’ the whole-Of-Perth city (as he-Did 2-months-Ago) à for the Fear of public-Backlash to their freedom-Of Privacy (nevertheless, they should Stay-Indoors for Safety-Reasons… as Instructed by-Caroline).
Tom also-Mentioned that the-Halloween celebration parties Would GO-ON in the-city establishments ~ the grand-&-biggest was @the-Blake Tower tonight…
Both Jane-&-Paul Remembered-that Halloween Was celebrated at the-SHS’ Gym in the-OTHER-PERTH. Jane recalled that she attending the Horror Themed-Dance gala, which Alicia was with her (dressed as The Cat-woman) ~ while Jane dressed-Up a Male-Blind Lawyer (… Matt Murdock, the-alter Ego of the supe-Crimefighter Daredevil).
Paul didn’t Go (… as-he was sick with food-poisoning by eating Leftover pizza in the fridge, a-day Earlier). But Peter Went-though… dressed As-Venom. That night didn’t Turn-out Well à where 6 girls were in-Mass Hysteria by-the scary-Pranks Which-the senior-Boys Pulled…
… SHS Banned the-Event the following-Year…
Paul Looked-up when he reached for the pancake’s Maple-syrup bottle à seeing the-devil Coming down-the-Stairs. The crippled-twin ‘expected’ tensionà as Peter hated-Tom visiting the Walkers ‘too’ Often à to see Caroline…
‘… does he ‘know’ that Principal Harris is staying-Here for 3-nights…?’
Peter was dressed All-In-Red ~ in his Tight red-uniform spandex, red-Nikes… and wore a-red bandana-Too. While munching the pancake, Paul ‘admired’ the-devil’s 6-pack-Abs. Peter was approaching the-IKEA table… and Paul ‘expected’ tension…
He was Surprised when the-devil was Friendly-&-Respectful to-Tom ~ asking ‘if’ the Guest-room was comfortable à (a-Personality-Flip) … ‘after’ the outburst yesterday, ‘before’ Leaving to-CDC Hospital…
‘… maybe the-devil Has-Been Put in his Place, after Bella ‘threatened’ to-Breakup with him … he’s Afraid Of-Nana too ~ in-case she ‘complained his-Bad behaviour to Mr Wilford, hehehe…’
The-devil then-Bragged… and patronizing-Tom…
“Yea-Principal Harris, I’m using My weapon-Of-choice à the-Raffa Babolat racquet that you-Prezzie to me-On-my 13th-Birthday ~ my-Smasher’s Gonna-Smash a-Big Win @the-JBCC Later, hahaha!
“I’m going to ‘dismantle’ Good-Ol’ Connery in his ‘own’ Turf, the-country-Club… as it’s turf-wars Now, as I’m the Reigning Champion from-Anson Court… ‘hungry’ for my-Cyborg-Career Victory!”
… Paul griped-in-silence of the-wry arrogance that he-further heard…
“… I’m going to put Stamford-High School on the world-Map à ‘where’ the First-Tennis Cyborg-Superstar ‘Originated’ à Being-First-Matter in my-Game…
“… I’m Going to ‘make’ you Proud-Of-Me, Sir… as the Ex-Principal-Of-SHS!”
“… good-Luck to-You, Peter…” Tom softly replied…
… Paul groaned ‘again’ quietly ~ and he felt’ that the-devil HAD-NO moral compass to ‘what’ he bragged, that was-Totally condescending (with no-hint-Of-guilt) à where Peter was-collectively TO-BE Blamed for Tom’s Getting-Fired from SHS… where the-devil ‘made’ Bella preggo…
Peter went-On Boasting…
“The match-is Telecasted-Live in the Local-TV ~ you Should Watch-It… and, tonight We’ll have a post-match Discussion Of-my Victory, hahaha…!”
Peter turned To-Paul, and Instructed…
“…Poe, please show Principal-Harris where the TV-remote-Is… and get-Channel 7 (you good at-Flipping the right-channels) ~ the match starts @10 in the mayor’s country-club’s Charity benefit Event, Okay-bro!?”
… Paul Stared-Straight at the-devil à into his Actor’s mode in front-Of-Tom… who haven’t Spoken-or-Been nice to-him (at-All…) in-the POST-TREETON realm…
‘… f***-you-Bro, what am I to-You, huh…? An Extra… Or-a piece Of-furniture in your-Film set…!?’
Everyone heard a-toot at the-Front gate. The white-BMW Uber Came, and … Peter yelled at Bella to Hurry-up, (who was still Upstairs) in the bedroom.
… the 14-year-Old girlfriend came-Down, all-dolled-Up… wearing a short-&-tight elegant, new-dress (showing-off her ‘bump’ of 4-months-preggo). The odd-Couple then Left… and Paul sighed in-Relief that They-were Gone…
After breakfast, Paul-&-Jane studied at the-Ikea table. Tom was there ‘observing’ ~ and, as an ‘educator,’ à he Was-Impressed by Jane’s interactive AI, Boyyo That ‘taught’ Math to the ‘weaker’ student, Paul ~ and, was ‘Sure’ that ~ it-Was the 21st-Century Cutting-Edge technology Gift In-Education…
… in Tom-Harris tenure @SHS à Jane was the-First to have the ‘incredible’ tech (… coming from Victoria Institute for-the Blind) à then, Maggi Wong had the-Same tech Too (… coming from a Vernacular-school in Malaysia) à even Peter had one-Too (… coming…
… from 20th -as the Last Student in A-Class, in his-First-Term scores à ‘incredibly’ TO-BE the 5th-in Midterms) …
At 10 AM, the ex-principal Adjourned to the Living-Room… to watch the Live-Telecast match at the JBCC, on Channel-7… where Caroline’s Elder-Twin Son Was-Playing…
Both Paul-&-Jane Didn’t ‘follow’…
… they remained and, studied (… as, in-Not at-All Interested in Thunderbolt-Pete’s Cyborg-Tennis goals-&-dreams) …
Jane interrupted her-boyfriend (…when Tom Left) ~ she ‘told’ Paul of the-Dream she ‘had’ Last-night, in the-Cube-Of-Apollo…
* … being in the-Presence OF-THE-Betrayer, Mother Venus, and Her ploy in expending the-Roman Old-Religion-Pantheon TO-BE Rewritten into her All-Women-Trinity dogma As-the neu-Religion, during-the-End-Times…
* … the-Wraith-Dora Was-Pregnant with the-Roman ‘Chief’ God ~ Jupiter ~ who Would-Be the-New Almighty to Mankind…
Quietly, Paul was Listening to-the vital Updates of Jane’s dreamworld reveries. The tween further said that Mother Venus Should ‘not-Be’ Trusted cos’ she Had No-Moral rectitude ~ and she was Exploiting the ‘members’ of the Coucil-Of-12 à and Would-Betray-Everyone Soon with her Machiavellian plot for Her Roman-religion to-Thrive…
… she reminded the boyfriend that Venus Had-Duped them (Paul-&-Jane) Before à who Were Mother Venus’ First-Victims à where in the Garden-Of-Eden, her-minion, Kerubiel gave a Cursed-Apple to Paul à who ‘gave’ Jane the fruit ~ which ‘resulted’ the-Immaculate Conception… and Jane eventually was pregnant with the Demi-goddess, Apolonia…
What Jane Didn’t Tell Paul ‘Was’:
* Venus Told Jane to-Forget Paul (… and Peter) à and Joining the Venusian All-Woman Trinity…
* Venus’ betrothal of Jane to her-Roman Almighty God, Jupiter… ‘once’ he-Was Reborn to Dora à Jupiter had ‘wanted’ Jane’s Hand ~ TO-BE-Joining the-Line Of-mortal women, who married-&-bore the breed-Of Demi-God Offspring on-Earth…
… Paul was ‘analysing’ the new-Facts of Mother-Venus à who was #2 in the Interworld Cosmic Council-Of-12 ~ where she was ‘allies’ with SIMY-&-Dora à and the-Red Demon, Mercury (… the ‘other’ Betrayer) …
‘… how ‘about’ the #1 SeeIn-&-John See? Can I ‘trust’ Them…? Err… what ‘about’ St Michael…? Isn’t he My-Ally… being my Christian counterpart…!?
‘… damn-this-Bl**** Heaven-&-Hell everchanging-Politics ~ where gods-&-demons ‘switch’ Sides and Betray one-another…
‘… who Should-I-trust…?’
He was Listening to Jane Mentioning the Wraith-Dora’s pregnancy (with the Almighty-Jupiter) à As the-2nd-Wave-Of Immaculate Conception in the-End Times…
‘… yikes! … how Many Immaculate-Conceptions Are-There…!??’
He then Remembered his-Own dreams (… Turned-nightmare) ~ Of Last-night… that Was-weird à BABY vs BABY…
He wanted to-Tell Jane ‘About’ it-But he Refrained ~ as it sounded ‘ridiculous’ at that-Moment… while Jane was serious About-Venus’ ploys… and, if he Told the-Dream of Claymation Battle-Of-Babies à That-would ‘piss-Off’ the blind-Girlfriend as-If he Was-Flippant-&-joking in a serious-Discussion…
So, he Did ‘not’ Tell-her…
‘… that’s my secret… that is ‘flawed’… it Was just-A-cartoon Dream of a Horror-Comedy… just-Like shows in Netflix…
‘… it was morbid-&-deviant Thing to-Say… that Bella’s baby-Judas died… Eeuw… that’s a gross-&perverted Thing to say-Poe ~ and ‘your’ Girlfriend is-Preggo too…’
He Recalled the-Dream…
… where Claymation Jane’s stomach Exploded à and Out-came a Black-Baby with Blonde-hair … flying-Like a Kite ~ while-Still anchored Onto its-umbilical-Cord… and shooting-Lasers from its-Blue-eyes…
He Recalled the-Nightmare…
… where Claymation Jane’s Baby-Then ‘played’ Judge/Jury/Executioner for Paul’s Crime-Of-Buying online Abortion-pills…
… and, the Jane’s Baby Shot-laser Bolts at-Him…
‘… yikes… I Died in that ‘silly’ Horror-Comedy Cartoon-Show…
‘… Who’s the Good-&-Bad Guys…?’
<><>
THE WHITE-BMW APPROACHED the JBCC, where Peter ‘wanted’ to make a-Late Entrance in his-Challenge match…
… he saw that it was the Same-Fate Like in the-OTHER-PERTH ~ where ‘his’ fans were Denied ‘excess’ to the Rich-&-Elite country-club ~ where in-That-realm he was Jane’s Mixed-Double’s partner ~ when the-handicap-Duo Faced the-Club’s ex-Internationals in a ‘similar’ charity-event…
… over-There, Peter-&-Jane were Perth’s Famous-Couple à and the Drones-Of-Perthians Who-Came Were ‘their’ Supporters… Who-were-There… to Witness a Visually-impaired tween Play-Tennis with the Aid-Of-her AI-Tech, in a Mixed-Doubles match…
… Today in-POST-TREETON, the Same-Supporters were There to-Witness Australia’s First Cyborg-player Play-Tennis with the Aid-Of-his AI-Tech in a Men’s Singles match…
The road Was blocked by-the Army, where the fans’ vehicles were parked-Afar – as they Walked-over to the match-Venue. The white-BMW was-Allowed to-pass ~ Peter saw the-crowd of passer-byers were excited when they-Saw him in the-Car… they Cheered-&-Ran after the car Like it ‘was’ the-Chariot Of-a-Rockstar-God…
In that BMW-car, Bella was ‘really’ Impressed by-the Fans who were-There to-Support Peter – she Vowed to take her-Boyfriend/Baby-Daddy’s Goals-&-Dreams seriously from-That-Moment onwards, as he Was jackpot Real-deal Catch…
There was more than 5000+ Perthian fans Who-Came that morning à and the-Army Redirected the crowd to the golf-course where a portion Of-the-grass were Barricaded for picnic to Watch the-Match on the Big-LED-Screen…
… Peter’s brand Main-sponsor, Wang-Group held mech-stalls That Sold ‘Thunderbolt-Pete’ items. Albert-Wang himself was present ~ and his marketing-Team Sold-Over 2000+ of the-$50 Red-T-shirts… which Sold-Out Like hotcakes an-Hour ‘before’ the-match…

The Tennis-Match was a Complimentary-Event for-Publicity Boost-&-Commemorate-It in a Grand-way (… with ‘media’s’ Live Telecast in-Perth) …
When the-Crowd saw the white-BMW they-rushed-In Chanting and throwing themselves-Over the car (… so-That they’ll Get-a-Ride into JBCC Tennis-court). Bella was Terrified-of the-many Red-T-shirts, with their-Faces ‘crushed-On’ her side of the-windowglass in the-Backseat… and the Mob were Chanting…
“THUNDERBOLT-PETE! THUNDERBOLT-PETE! THUNDERBOLT-PETE!”

Waiting for the-car at the-Lobby was KC’s Video-Crew in the Red-T-shirts welcoming Peter-&-Bella. The crew-Of-5, headed by Mimi-Lee were prepping-Peter to Look-good on-camera…
KC ‘had’ given exclusive-Right to Mimi (the Award Winning-director) ~ to-Record Peter’s entire Amateur ‘journey’ until he became an-International Cyborg Tennis Super-Rockstar à Mimi was planning a-Sequel to the-biopic…
The film-director said something ‘urgent’ in Chinese to her-Crew, who-Immediately turned to prep Bella to Look-good on-camera…
Mimi said to the makeup-Artist…
“Jinjiang, go-Fix her Hair ~ we’re gonna Shoot an-Interview with-Thunderbolt-Pete’s Baby-Mama Later…”
Bella was Flattered… (while – the 14-year-Old Had ‘previously’ thought-Wrong of the 20-something Chinese-director) … ‘Assuming’ the-Woman-Would ‘steal’ Peter-away from-Her… where the boyfriend would-Love Mimi since she Brought new-Fame to-Him with the docu-Win…

… that Perthians ‘would’ Look-at-the 2 Minors having a-Baby as Less judgementalà while, looking-Instead towards Peter-Walker’s Cyborg-Tennis wins Would bring-To-the table…
Peter noticed the-Lobby was-empty with No-media broadcast TV-crew (welcoming the ‘rockstar’) ~ and he Asked-Mimi…
“… where’s KC ~ isn’t he Suppose TO-BE here…?”
The Chinese woman apologised…
“… he Couldn’t-come… some Last-minute business ~ and he Flew-to Sydney this morning. He Told-me to Give You-This…” Mimi handed a tiny Black Wooden-Tiny box…
Peter opened the palm-Sized ‘prezzie’ box à his eyes sparkled when he saw a-Dragon-shaped-Jade… the 5-centineters Long-&-Heavy-Green-stone Was attached with a-red string…
Bella stepped-into the Limelight saying to her-Boyfriend…
“… you Should WEAR-IT, dear… Let me tie-it For-You…”
Mimi instructed her-Cameraman to shoot…

Peter exclaimed in-delight…
“… whoa-Dragon! That is a-Symbol-Of KC’s Favourite-actor ~ Bruce Lee, hahaha! This is Soo-Cool… and-Expensive…!”

THE-8-OF THEM Led by Peter, walked into the mayor’s Ceremony as the-Outsiders (from Anson Court). Peter was in ‘enemy-Ground’ (as a-Challenger) ~ among the mayor’s Rich-&-Elite guests, who Would root-For their-Favourite the Ex-International, Steve Connery to-Win…
… nevertheless, the 13-year-Old teen Didn’t-have the-Underdog mentality à where, he Came to JBCC to-Win ~ despite the mayor ‘imposing’ Disadvantages Against-Him (i.e., ~ where the-mayor Controlled the-TV media to-Celebrate his 10th-Annivesary and ‘not’ the-Australia’s ‘first’ Bionic-Boy…
‘… duh … am I the Sideshow…?’
The Outdoor-event was held in a tented veranda ~ with 25 roundtables for 10 of-the rich-&-elite guest-Each. It was near the tennis-courts. The event went-On, where On-stage was a-female emcee (who ‘was’ the mayor’s mouthpiece) Narrating a-Slideshow-presentation to the seated-guests of the Progress-&-Achievements John-Blake brought to the-city in his 8-year tenue-As-Mayor…
Mr-&-Mrs mayor at the main-table were gloating-in-Pride – until they-Heard Loud-whispers to realise à that Peter, with his Robotic-arm was in-da-house (… and the Attention Was-on the-Teen’s presence…) which-Was ‘interrupting’ the Slideshow presentation …
The emcee-Lady then Welcomed Peter (… as a ‘favour-Of-the mayor’) ~ TO-BE-Part of the JBCC Celebration that morning (… to hold a Tennis-match event) …
“Ladies-&-Gentleman à the-Challenger Peter-Walker…”
… the-Teen was annoyed that there-Was No-mention-Of Australia-Or-Perth’s First Cyborg-tennis-player. Furthermore, there were fewer claps among the snobbish-Guests – Peter then ‘wondered’ who-Were his-Fans at the country-Club tables…
… he saw Chucky-Miggs seated at the table… beside Blake’s Main-Table ~ Peter was glad that the-mayor Had invited him (Miggs was Peter’s Training-Ground ‘sponsor’ @Anson Court). Then someone else was Clapping-too, a few-Tables-away…
Peter was surprised-&-nervous That it was the-red Mohawk-haired, Renee-Osbourn ~ the American Freelanced super-agent who worked for Kimura-Star’s Dr Jack Turner à whom Peter Distrusted…
‘… huh… what’s the bionic-Woman Doing-Here…!??’
Peter then-Focused-on his-Task-at-Hand – and asked emcee-Lady…
“Hey! I’ve Come for-my Game ~ What’s your-Delay…?”
“… we’re going Live in 5 minutes – please Proceed to the tennis-Court…” Replied the woman … Peter gazed at the tennis-Court where-He ‘saw’ JBCC’s Champion Was-Warming-up…
… Steve Connery was hitting the-Tenno across-the-Court to his-wife, Amy-Bixby ~ who was-Also an-Ex-International player 12-years-Ago (… both the Mr-&-Mrs Ex-Internationals were currently-Coaches in-JBCC) …
The Channel-7 TV crew were positioned in the court-With Empty-breachers à in the Closed-door event in the Members-Only JBCC… where Peter’s over-5000+ Red-T-shirt fans-&-supporters were Locked-out outside… to watch the-Match on the-LED Big-screen @the Golf-course…
… even the-mayor Had imposed KC’s video-crew was Limited to a Single camera (following-him…) where the Broadcast-crew were Doing the Live-coverage of-That-morning…
Peter Led his-Camera crew in the Empty-arena. He saw Mimi-&-Bella sitting on the lower-breacher. He Too-warmed-Up when he stood-On his-Side of-the-Court Beside Steve-Connery hitting the-Tenno over to-Amy…
… Taunting, Peter clapped-&-said…
“Good Backhand, Old-man ~ was that HOW YOU WON your-Title Ages-ago, hahaha…!”
… he was Grudging the-Loss @the-OTHER-PERTH where Mr-&-Mrs Ex-International Variants from Over-there Beat the-Perth’s Famous Couple, when Peter-&-Jane faced-them-There @the-JBCC à they Won when They Targeted the weakness Of-his One-armed, Right-handed Playing…
‘… ‘not’ Today, Peepaw à Come-meet my-Leftie ‘Southpaw’ Smasher… countering Your-mediocre backhand Later…’
He Further intimidated the Club’s champion By-Doing a Bruce-Lee’s 2-Finger Push-Ups on the-cemented Court…
Everyone in-the Court – Heard the emcee-Lady at the-Tent making an-Announcement on the PA-System…
“We’re Going-Live in Channel-7 ~ Let the-Game Commence… but Before-That, a Brief Opening-Speech from Our-Beloved-mayor à Mr John Blake!”
… everyone at the 25 tables-Of the rich-&-elite Applauded…
“… hah! Is He’s giving a-Speech on-Channel-7 too…? The Bl**** mayor is NOW-DELAYING My-Show…” Peter grunted to-Himself…
Peter was ‘further’ pissed-When the-mayor spoke-On his-Political-agenda to the-Perthian Viewers @home watching the Live telecast-in-Local TV… with no-Mention of-Star-Attraction, Thunderbolt ‘cyborg’ Pete…
“… what Am-I? Your-Country-club’s Joke-Attraction Of-the-Day…!?” Peter grunted to-Himself…
The mayor-was going on-&-on on-Camera. At the tennis-Court, Peter needed-To Go-to the bathroom… he approached the Umpire, and pointed at the-Tent…
“Sheesh! Is that-Mate Ever-Finishing-Up…? The-mayor seems-To Like the-Sound Of-his-Own voice … with His political Agenda-nonsense à Sir, I Need-to-Pee… can-I Go…?’
“I Give you-2-Minutes à If you’re ‘NOT-BACK’ – You’re Forfeited, OK…!? Now-Go!” Said the Stern-umpire…
“… okey-dokey…”
Peter was bothered that the-Official (who-was Celebrity tennis-umpire in the-TV sports matches) à was ‘siding’ the-Mayor’s Unfair-Rules…
… the teen was Concerned that the-game Would-Go to the ex-international’s victory ~ if it was Prejudice-&-Deceitful scored to disfavour the-Underdog…
The mayor’s future job-Opportunities in-Perth Speech-was still Going-On, Peter looked at the-Opponent… Steve-Connery, who was Talking to-his wife under the umbrella-stand – Peter waved-&-shouted to-Interrupt them…
“I gotta-Take a-Pee, Ol’ mate à while Your-Boss mayor is-Still Taking a-S*** on Live-broadcast Channel 7, hahaha ~ see-Ya soon in the-Showdown… don’t-Go-anywhere, Stevo… like-Go-&-have a-Quickie in the suite-rooms, hahaha…!”
The Laughing boy ran-Away…

The American Free-agent was smoking Outside the-Outdoor bathrooms-Of the-club. She was Sent to Perth by Dr Turner on-A-mission. She Had-used her furtive-tactics to get-Into the mayor’s Guest-List that-morning…
… Dr Jack Turner (… from Johannesburg à after ‘experimenting’ with blood-samples-Of the Cursed-Trio…) ~ Had contacted Renee-Osborne à To-investigate Visual-&-Scientific evidences that Paul-&-His niece, Jane Were-Both ‘supes’…
… Today, she Came-to-Collect…
Peter approached the-Bathroom ‘when’ He Saw-Her. He griped to himself Seeing the Red-Mohawk-haired Bionic-woman… dressed Like-a-page Out-of a Manga, in her Leather cyberpunk attire …
… the Last-time when he Saw-Renee Osbourne was 5-Months ago… when she Outran his ‘escape’ on-His mountain-bike, and-Cornered Him on his-way To-school…
‘… this-Time there is no-running-Away ~ she Caught-Me for sure…’
Peter had Promised Her that he Would-Help gather The-Supe-Evidence à and-Then, she Gave her Business-Card (… which he still Have-in his-wallet) But Peter Haven’t Called-Her ever-since…
Although he had the-Evidence to exposé-&-take Down his Loathed-twin… but Peter was Hesitant-to Share à fearing that it Would-Backfire (… with Repercussions) in his ‘perfect’ Life-in-POST-TREETON ~ Of-his Good-Luck Realm…
… furthermore, Peter Doesn’t Trust (nor-Like) ~ ‘both’ Dr Turner-&-his Bionic-Woman…
Renee Osbourne in her Biker-jacket with patches-signa ~ ‘Daughters-Of-the Underworld’ and the Obrobotus-circled snake Logo (eating it-Tail…) at the jacket’s-back. She was Pissed-off that Peter ~ Who-was Avoiding-Her-Calls, when she Was-Away in Washington DC…
She Was-sarcastic when she Greeted…
“Howdy-Pete ~ Heard you were in a-school Sex-scandal, hah…? So, how is the Baby-Mama Life treating you…? Bummer-Right, HAHAHA!?”
Peter ignored-&-didn’t Argue, as he went into the-Male bathroom – The Laughing Renee Followed…
“OII!! … some-Privacy here!” The teen-Shouted…
“I’ve seen-your midget-Porn d*** in the-Video ~ and I’m ‘not’ impressed, HaHaHa!”
Peter went to the urinal… with the taunting-woman on his-rear…
“So, where is My-evidence That-you Promised…?” The Agent-demanded…
I Don’t Have-Any! Somehow Tarzan-&-Jane ‘are’ Behaving ~ they’ve ‘not’ Transformed into-Their Cosmic-selves in this-Realm à They Both Did-So in the OTHER-PERTH Over-the-Zoo… I-was There-Too… But-Here à Nada…”
Renee Countered his BS…
“Don’t Lie To-me! You Told Dr Turner that you have a ‘video’ of Paul levitating à Where is it…?”
Peter was ‘confused’ ~ after Travelling in-Lives in 3-Dr Turner-variants ~ did he TELL-OF the-CCTV video? ~ ‘where’ (… its-In-His-possession) à a-CCTV Recording on a stormy-night ~ where Paul Entered-the-Broken window from-Upstairs (after his GOE-Mission) to Get into the Walker-House …
… Paul was Careless that He Did ‘not’ Cover his-Track (… cos’ the-Twin ‘forgot’) à which Was his-Good-Luck-Insurance (… in-Case upon Peter’s Death) ~ that THERE-WAS-EVIDENCE Of-Paul Levitating in the CCTV-Footage… and-even Peter ‘had’ VO-Narrated his dramady-Confession…
“… If You’re Watching This, Mom… I’m ‘already’ Dead à it’s Knives-Out Suspect That is my-Twin, Poe… He’s Evil Superhero… who Killed-Me Once-before in PERTHLAND… where he shot-Me Dead… Mom, Poe Killed-me! I Urge you to Hand-Him over to-CSIRO à The Scientists-over There Would-know how-To Kill Him! He’s Dangerous Villain, Mom… your Younger-son Should-Be destroyed Immediately ~ Godspeed, RIP-To-Me, Amen… Over-&-Out… Hasta-La’ Vista…”
… Peter Had THAT-EVIDENCE in an-USB attached to his mountain-bike’s Keychain à and Had been Carrying It-Along ~ everywhere ~ as an-Insurance (… to-his Take-down), if Paul Killed-Him in POST-TREETON) …
But He was Reluctant to-Give the USB to Dr Turner cos’ He Distrust Him à furthermore, Peter was Afraid-Of the repercussions-&-consequences if Exposing-Poe’s Secret-ID Would have in-His Good-Luck realm ~ where things-Were Going-Smoothly in his current Amateur Cyborg career…
He finished urinating and went-Over to wash his-hands ~ behind the-mirror-Reflection… was the reversed-Of the-Woman T-shirt inscription ~ ‘Klothod-676’ – Renee Said…
“Come-On, you Don’t Have Any-Love for Paul à Why-Protect-Him…? Give ‘him’ to-Us … and Go and Focus-on your-Tennis playing…à and, WE’LL TAKE-CARE-Of Paul for-You …” Renee was cut short, when Peter Yelled-back…
“NO! You Can’t Put-That in-Writing, can-You? And, I Don’t Trust that Bl****-countryman Perthian-Of-mine, Jack Turner Anymore! Some Months-Ago, I came-To him with the-Evidence that Poe-&-Jane are-Supes ~ and, He didn’t-Listen à and the F***-er Blocked-me!
“… just-When my-Live is All-good… He-NOW WANTS ME-back! What Changed? ~ ‘when’ I Don’t Need Him in my-Life anymore…!”
The woman touched His-shoulder, saying…
“But Dr Turner Believes You-Now…”
Peter brushed her hand-Off…
“Its Too-Late à the deal-is-Off… I’m Going-my-Way, and Turner’s Going Highway à I Don’t Need him-in my Tennis-Cyborg Career anymore!”
Renee grabbed his-Robotic-wrist with Her-Bionic Hand… push-&-thrust – they-were Arm-wrestling… and the Angered-woman Spoke to the-intolerance Teenager…
“Peter, who Gave you your-Robotic arm for Your Cyborg-career…!? And, Your-studies-AI too, so-That you Can Do-well in School…? Jack-Turner Did-It-For You, his Fellow Countryman à so, why are You Being an-Ungrateful Mother-f****-er Now!”
She was Strong-in her-Grip… and the fearful-Peter Yielded…
“Oii-Stop! Lemme-Go à You’ll Break-my Leftie! I Got a-Game-to-Play… please…”
Renee Let-Go of her powerful-Grip – when she saw the boy-Whined…
Peter was in-a-Spot where Had Agree-To-Disagree to Help ~ Jack-Turner ~ who Had bestowed Him with Smasher for His Tennis-Cyborg dreams that Made his-Famous in POST-TREETON…
He had seconds-To-Decide ‘before’ his-Game was Forfeited to the-JBCC Champion, Steve Connery TO-WIN à who, Peter desperately wanted his-Scalp as his 8th-Amateur victory…
… he Decided to Clean-House, and to-Sabo his Twin … Where-Peter had’ Nothing-to-Lose IF PAUL Fell-down in his Good-Luck realm…
‘… the-useless Fat f*** is always Been the-Loser-&-Liability for-the dozen Years I’ve Known-Him … currently ‘hibernating’ at-home, Hiding his-Supe ID ~ chowing-Up tons-Of Nana’s Good-food… on-Bella’s Financial-Expenses. He’s Got-To Go, ‘before’ Mom Comes home Next-week…’
Peter snapped pen-drive From the Keychain, Like-a grenade-pin à and, gave the USB to the-Woman, and ranted a-warning…
“This is My-Only Copy… don’t Get me-Or-my Cyborg-career in-Trouble For-it à And, my-Mom Should NOT-KNOW I Gave this-To-you. I’m ‘not’ going to mansplain to-You Of-how Dangerous Poe-is ~ Failure is ‘not’ an-Option… so-Put-on your-Women Thinking-Cap to form your-Own Take-down tactics… and, Bring the Quad-f***-er Down for-Me ‘before’ he Kills-me… if he found I-Had ratted On-him… you Have to-Protect me for Disclosing ‘this’ Evidence à I’m Only-a Flesh-&-Bone human… Come-on, I Can’t Protect Myself against This Evil-Villain Superhero-Twin of-Mine…do you get-Me..!?”
“Don’t Worry à your-Secret Is-Safe with us, Partner! And, I got ‘the’ perfect US-Military Weapon to-Take-Out a-Superhuman à you’re Safe ‘under’ my-Protection…!”
… Renee then Tested-the USB for authenticity, and plugged-&-played the USB’s video-File Into her iPhone. The Bionic-woman was Bamboozled when she saw the CCTV-footage-Of the Crippled-twin ‘actually-Levitating’ ~ and, she exclaiming, ‘OMG!’…
“Hahaha à yea, Tarzan Can Fly-&-Shoot electricity from fingertips-Too! Be-Warned, He’s Deadly unprovoked Rottweiler ‘who’ Bites, yea! Good-Luck Hunting à I Gotta-Go now ~ I Got a-Scalp To-Hunt-Too… ciao…”
Peter ran-Off in a-Urgent hurry ~ the bionic-Woman saw him dashing to the County-club’s tennis court, armed with his-Babolat. The satisfied American Too walked away to her parked Dodge-Tomahawk V10 superbike…
… she Rode-off to her-Counterpart-Of-Perth, Lana Lane, the-investigative-Journalist à to present her-with the Evidence that Paul-Was a-Supe (… all-Along).

In the Country-club’s compound, the-PA message was heard from the Big-Tent ~ the event emcee-Lady was making a-Public Announcement…
“… due to the Challenger, Peter Walker is ‘not’ Seen-nor-Heard in the Last 5-Minutes… “
The 25 Roundtables-Of the rich-&-elite Booed-&-Jeered at the un-Sportsmanship-ness of the-Contender, from Anson Court …
“…in-Liew to No-Show … our-Mayor-John Blake Had declared the-match as-a Walkover à and, we-now Countdown-To-10 to-Make-it Official… and, pronounce the JBCC’s Champion, Coach Steve Connery as-Our Winner!”
The crowd in the Big-Tent Clapped-&-Cheered when they Heard ‘their’ favourable-Winner mentioned à and, Joined-In the Countdown…
“… 10… 9… 8…”
Peter was Half-way there, running Towards the-Game Court, when He-Too heard it on the Speaker-poles…
‘… huh… What-Walkover…!?’
Peter Dashed-Over…
“… 6… 5… 4…”
It was-Peter’s Sheer-Luck ~ when the Channel-7 Cameraman panned-the Camera and, ‘spotted’ the Running-teen with the-Robotic-arm Approaching the-arena… and, immediately the delighted sports-Broadcast commentator Said-On-Air…
“Looks Like we Have a Show-On-the-Road Afterall à The-Tennis Cyborg Challenger, Thunderbolt-Pete Is-Coming Now… to-finally Take his-place in the-Court!”
…from Outside the walls-Of-JBCC à 300-meters-Away, Were the-Cheering By-the crowd-Of-5000+ Gathered-In the golf-course (…watching the Big-LED) ~ When the-gathered Red T-shirts ‘heard-&-saw’ Their-Contestant on the Big screen…
The emcee-Lady Stopped the Countdown…
Peter reached the court… panting and waving to-the Broadcast-camera to the-Fans… and-drawing More-Cheers were ‘heard’ from outside-the-Wall, That ‘silenced’ the mayor’s snobbish guests…
… He walked-passed the stern-Looking Celebrity-umpire ~ found an-Excuse to-Apologise… pointing to his All-red-outfit…
“… sorry-Sir… it’s my-Spandex… just-Like in-the-Superhero movies…”
The teen Noticed Mimi’s Cameraman ‘following-Him’ on-the-Side-line…
…Then-he remembered Mimi’s setup-Of-the Day à that the video-Feed was Live-on-YouTube ~ Linking it to-Other social-media Platforms (…. Like Facebook, Insta, etc…) …
He got-Ready but-was Delaying the Match… it was a hot-morning – he wiped his-sweat with a-Towel and Polished his Metal palm, before fitting-On his single-Glove to-his-Leftie hand…
Peter Heard Emcee-Lady’s voice again on-the PA-Speakers…
“… dear-Guest, due to the-very Hot-weather àMayor-Blake had Requested Us-All to the-Bar ~ where We-Can-Watch the-Match inside on-Teevee, with the-Air Condition… with Our-Cocktails…”
The Rich-guest clapped-&-cheered at the comfy-&-cosy Option, and proceeded vacating the-Big-Tent ~ while-Peter scoffed… that the-Arena’s ambience ‘would-Be’ Quiet-&-Empty (… while his-Fans were Locked-Out from JBCC). Peter Had expected the rich-&-elite guests Were-All ‘still’ THERE à SO THAT They Can ‘see’ their-Champion Fall-&-Defeated in-Front Of-their-Eyes…
He saw the emcee-Lady glaring at him, 50-meters away-in the Tent à Peter showed her ‘his’ Middle-finger when she Had ‘denied’ His-Satisfaction Of-Humiliating Connery in Front-Of-Their-eyes… Looking at the Chinese-youth with-the-Camera – Peter waved-the Babolat à and, Taunted Connery…
“Hasta-La-Vista, Baby ~ I’m-Back! No easy-peasy Walkover-Victory For you, Ol’ Man! HAHAHA! Today, your-Reign Will-fall and I’ll Be-the-Champ! I’ll Scalp-You for my Trophy-Room, HAHAHA ~ For my 8th-Victory To-the-Top for Thunderbolt-Pete’s Fame-&-Stardom!!!”
[… it Was the-Intimidation-message sent by-Peter to his 500, 000+ Followers in the YouTube Live à those who-Owned Smart-Teevee, and watching the-Live Telecast match, in Channel-7… with a Small-Dialog-box ‘opened’ of Peter’s Life-YouTube feed, with His-Live Commentary…
[… most Fans would ‘mute’ the Channel-7’s Commentary à and switch-On the YOUTUBE-FEED à and Listen to the-Commentary Coming-out From-their Red-horse’s Mouth itself…]
The celebrity-Umpire spoke-On his-mic…
“Peter Walker, can we-Get Started? à You Serve…”
“… err… sorry, Ump…” Peter apologised and he got into position…
… bouncing the tenno on-the-Court ~ he Looked-Up at the-breachers, and saw Bella-&-Mimi sitting. The Chinese-director was using her walkie-talkie to communicate with her Camera crew in Red-tee shirts… Peter waved at them, and ‘gave’ a-Smasher’s Thumbs-up…
… knowing that he ‘nearly’ Screwed-up ~ almost-Gotten Forfeited in the-Match with his 10-Minute Disappearance… which Had worried Bella, Mimi-Lee-&-Crew cos’ Peter’s iPhone ‘was’ with Mimi… his Cyborg-Project manager…
… but the-Delay was Necessary For-some-Housekeeping ‘matters’ ~ that he ‘had-To’ deal-First with his-Bionic-woman-Counterpart…
Peter served First-ball-over à Connery returned…
… Nothing Could ‘go’ Wrong with the near-Perfect modification That KC’s Tech-Crew Gave-Lately to his AI-Goggles à he Could ‘rely’ on the-Possibilities Of-the Algorithms’ ‘suggestions’ ~ of ‘where’ to-Turn to Connery Shots… and, Peter counted each-tenno Return with near-Perfection defense…
… it was Going All-well… he won a ‘few’ points ~ and the ‘old-man’ won his… Peter was fooled by his ‘clever’ Djokovic-esque backhand that tricked-Him-&-gave Points-to-Connery…
3-6 à before ~ the-Old Hand succumbed (… in the First-set) …
Victorious, Peter Changed-court sides à ‘broke’ the-4th-Wall (at Mimi’s Cameraman, whenever there Was a-Closeup Of-him…
“Perthians! Aren’t You Entertained, my-Peeps…!?”
… a Roar-Came from ‘beyond’ the-JBCC Walls – Peter clowned Like the WWE’s Hulk-Hogan… cupping his Ear to the ‘direction’ Of-the-Cheers ~ ‘coming’ Behind the-wall…
… Peter’s Voice-Too was Coming from beyond walls à Echoed by the hundreds Of-portable external-Speakers Which-Plugged into YouTube Live, by the Loyal 5000+ Red-T-shirts… Listening TO-HIM…
The-proud, Peter chuckled…before Self-promoting his-Rockstar ‘brand’…
“… please-Do Subscribe to-my YouTube Channel – Thunderbolt-Pete… and Like-&-Share every-video Content Of-Australia’s First-Cyborg Tennis-player ~ now, Back-to my-game…”
… by the-end Of-his-Lucky Friday à Peter was-The ‘more’ Popular-News than his-twin, Tarzan-Poe’s Deepfake Video…
The 2nd Set Commenced… but it was a Brief-encounter Too ~ where the-AI ‘read’ the ex-International’s every ball – Peter made his Final winning Ball Count-too…
… his Smasher Grand-Slammed the tenno Onto Steve-Connery’s groins ~ the man was in excruciating Pain, when haplessly he fell-&-sprawled on the court. At the Other-end of the court, was Peter jumping-in-Joy Looking-down, at the Fallen-opponent…
… Cheers-&-Applauses ‘came’ Roaring from Over-the-Walls…
Then-He was pissed that the Channel-7 Cameraman, ran to the injured Connery who was tended by the club’s medic team… and the coach’s wife, Amy-Bixby. Peter walked to them, shouting at the Cameraman… and, Made-a-scene…
“OII! FOCUS-ON-My Victory – ‘not’ on his-Bl**** Sore-&-Loosen Ol’ tenno-hairy Balls!”
Peter then saw Douglas-Zimmerman at Connery’s side (… he was Surprised of his SHS’ foe’s presence in-the-Arena) à and picked a-Bone-with-him. The teen faced Both Of-the Channel-7-&-YouTube-Live cameramen… with his robotic-Arm waving his-Babolat, Peter Berated…
“Look-look ~ whose-Here…!? It’s the Coward Dougie… the #1 Ranking Of-my-school’s Tennis Single-player, HAHAHA… guess-What You-Mediocre Padawan à I’ve Defeated your-Jedi Master … in an-Easy-Win, HAHAHA!
“… you-Coward rich-F***, you rallied and Got Coach Jonah to-Ban Me from joining The-Schools District-Competition This-Year à I Should-Be ‘facing’ Mark-Spencer in-the-Finals … but you Denied Me that Privilege, Title-&-Trophy ‘which’ I’ve waited 3-Years, as an-One-armed contender to Y’All… D***-You, German!
“… Knowing that-&-every Title-&-Trophy Lifting is Important to-Me TO-GO fast-On top! F***-You Dougie … you Son-Of-a W****! Your-Mom-Posed ‘shameless’ Naked on-Polaroids…”
He was Held-Back by-Bella, as he almost ‘struck’ the blond-16-year-Old with his-Babolat… he shouted about-it…
“This mediocre Rich county-club-Pr**k Took-Me Opportunity-Away TO-BE Dropped from the school-selection… I badly wanted that-Inter-Schools Title ~ AND Face the-Bl**** Brit, Mark Spencer!”
Bella Pacified-Him…
“… didn’t You say Forget ‘about’ School-Level à and, Focus on-Bigger international success…!? Today is a ‘that’ Success, Peter – you Have ‘beaten’ Steve Connery, and You’ll Keep Beating Many-more To-Come. And, as your Baby-Mama. and Your Loyal-&-Loving-fans too à We’re Behind You, all-The-Way till you-Reach the pinnacle-Top!”
The ‘new’ Perth’s Famous-Couple then ‘did’ a Hollywood-Kiss in-Front of-the-Cameras. Roars Of-approval Cheers was heard Outside the-JBCC walls. Peter’s temper had-Calmed-down ~ as he realised the-Truth of his-Tactics were heading ‘positive’ in-his Goals-&-Dreams in Good-Luck POST-TREETON Realm…
… but also, realising his 8th-Amateur Win ‘meant-Nothing’ that he had Beaten-a 43-year-Old player, ‘retired’ in JBCC as a-coach (… ‘not’ the Prime international player-Of 10-years-Ago, who ‘won’ in the-Perth Open). No-One would take the-Today’s Win ‘seriously’ à and, He had a Long-&-Tall ladder to-still Climb to the pinnacle-Top, cos’ of the-Rest of the-Ranking players would ignore him, cos’:
* He’s Young (a teen-of 13-years of age)
* He was Untested (played against Unranked-opponents @Anson Court)
‘… now, it’s UP-TO KC to ‘promote’ My-Brand ~ he has to Find-&-Get-Quality scalps for me to reap when I Down-them All-Too, in my Amateur-run…’
He was Quiet-in thoughts briefly, and saw the-2 Cameras were Of-Closeup-on Him ~ Peter had to-Say Something-to-Continue in his-Live Commentary (… or… he’ll Be Faded-To-Black) …
Peter ‘faked’ a-Rapt emotion and grabbed the-preggo Bella By-her hips… rising the-Babolat Over his-Head with His-Robotic arm, to-Proclaim Aloud…
“YES! I’VE WON! I’VE WON! I’VE WON, HAHAHA!
“… I dedicate my-sweet Victory To-my Unborn-Son, Judas-Walker!”
Booming Shouts-&-Applauding were heard from beer-drunk-red shirt-Fans, From-over the-Wall…
“… And, to my Fans Too! I Give-you This-Win! à and I Offer Who-Ever who ‘Follow-Me’ to my-Matches à Tons-Of Good-Luck Blessings from my-Realm…
“May You-Too à ‘achieve’ your-Goals-&-Dreams!”
Echoes-Of Hailing continued ‘beyond’ the-walls…
He then faced the ‘empty’ Big-Tent 20-meters-away (… with a-Winner’s Trophy On-display). Peter Looked to-the-Cameras…
“I Want to Claim my-Prized trophy ~ Come-All… Follow-Me!”
Peter Led his small-Entourage to the Big-Tent…
<>
They Followed the-teen with the Black-metal Arm inside the empty-Tent ~ the emcee-Lady-&-6 Security-guards were there. Peter displayed anti-social coercive Behaviour as he Struck the-Babolat at the empty-Tables (… displayed glasses-&-plates Setups ‘fell’) à when he made-his-Way to the-podium…
… 2-Of-the Guards (,,, armed with batons) ~ stepped-Up to stop-Him from Further club’s property Damages. Peter chuckled at-Them…
“… Hehehe! Sorry, mates ~ I Got Carried-Away! I’VE WON à I Want-My Trophy!” His metal-Arm pointed at the-display…
Emcee-Lady said-On the-mic…
“… err… Mayor-Blake Would-Do the-Trophy ‘presentation’ during the-Luncheon banquet…”
Peter intimidated the-woman by-Stepping up-On the stage… saying…
“Gimme the-Mic…”
Despite having 4-Security Guards ‘behind’ her ~ it was Daunting for the woman to ‘share-the-Space’ with a-rubicund Sweaty teen – who Looked scarier By-his-unhinged Behaviour-Alone… and, she Gave the-microphone to the-red-Spandex Thunderbolt-Pete… and, The Teen-spoke…
“Tell Your-mayor that I’m ‘not’ Staying for his-Bl****-Luncheon! I’m ‘not’ Sitting-On the ‘same’ Table with his Snobbiest-Wealthy A-Hole Tribe Of-this-City à while my-Loyal Fans Were Locked-Out from his Richman’s Playground ‘here’ à and, he even ‘sent’ his-SPS-SWAT to ‘threaten’ Them-From-entering His-Membership-Only ground à and, my fans-&-droves-Of my followers Were ‘not’ be-Given the-seats To-See me-Play… They-only ‘watched-me’ Outside on the-LED screen…
… isn’t This-clearly à Social Class Unfairness-&-Unjust!??”
Boos-&-Jeers were Heard-aloud Over-the-walls – from the-golf-Course…
The annoyed emcee-Lady Spoke-Out…
“Peter Walker, take your-Trophy and Leave!”
