Chapter 1: The Beginning of the End
The Rirah Immortals never age and can heal from any injury. They have the power of telepathy, teleportation, time travel, and to heal humans. Dramadrk and Reesecp are the most powerful Rirah immortals in the known universe with infinite abilities.
2016
Dramadrk and Reesecp have been bonded to their mates for eons spending most of their time on an uncharted pacific island located on the planet earth.
Both men are seated in beach swivel chairs around a fire pit relaxing on a private terrace overlooking the white sand and crystal blue waters of the pacific. As they look out at the horizon at the beginnings of sunset they discuss their offspring. Dramadrk's identical twin sons Sheldon and Sheldor are in love with Reesecp's identical twin daughters Penny and Penelope. All are in their twenties and for immortals that's the equivalent to a toddler.
Even though the fathers are pleased their children have "hooked up" they are concerned that they lack social and a diverse environment experience among their immortal peers and the humans of earth. Thanks to the father's diligence their children have grown up in an immortal utopia experiencing only feast, prosperity, life, and peace. Their children have never dealt with famine, pestilence, death and war. Dramadrk slowly sips his wine while contemplating this conundrum.
Reesecp is suddenly alert with an idea. "Let's give them a challenge to test their love while gaining life and survival experiences and skills." Dramadrk is intrigued, "What do you have in mind?"
"We can send them back in time during earth's history and have them advance once they meet certain requirements."
"Excellent!" says a smiling Dramadrk.
The fathers eagerly brainstorm the parameters for the challenge. Finally, after a couple of hours the parameters of "The Love Dare" are complete. The parameters are:
1. All four young adults will initially be sent to 7 B.C.
2. They will inhabit the bodies of humans of the same age with all their immortal memories and the human memories intact.
3. Individually their sons and daughters will travel back within the same environment. They will not be able to recognize each other physically nor will they have access to their gifts.
4. All must find their mate, make love and achieve orgasm within a six-month time frame.
5. They will move forward in time by 50-year increments inhabiting a different human's body when conditions of Item 4 are met. They will go backwards in time 50 years if ANYONE chooses the wrong mate.
6. Mating with others outside of their group will forfeit the life of that human.
Satisfied with "The Love Dare" both men summon their mates to notify them and discuss the challenge. The ladies appear immediately before them anxious, it is rare for their husbands to summon them in this manner.
Dramadrk's pregnant wife Tre was eating chocolate covered brussel sprouts in the privacy of her salon when summoned. Choking on a sprout due to her abrupt summons, her husband rushed to smack her back. She gave him the 'eye' for whacking her so hard, however she was able to spit out the sprout.
Reesecp's wife Bar appears in front of the group in a squatting position before she sprawls on her naked butt on the terrace. Reesecp summons Bar as she is sitting on the toilet after mistakenly drinking the herbal tea "Smooth Move." Dramadrk, Tre, and Reesecp attempt to contain their horrified laughter. Bar screams obscenities for ten minutes mortified to be caught in such a position. She finally calms after to listen to the plan, after she was able to complete her business.
The ladies liked the plan but added:
7. Their offspring may use their gifts three times during the challenge. Gifts will otherwise be suppressed for the duration of the challenge.
8. Tre stated that the husbands make it so their offspring could not become pregnant or cause pregnancy for the duration of the challenge.
All were in agreement. Reesecp noticed that Bar was tired. He said his goodnight and teleported home with his wife.
That evening in bed Dramadrk and Tre are discussing their sons and the challenge. "Tre, do you think Penny and Penelope are the best mates for our boys?"
"Sheldor and Penelope I have no doubt are soul mates. Sheldor has loved and protected Penelope since they met as five and two-year olds. They are both adventurous with complimentary differences. When he is weak she is strong and vice versa. Sheldon is strangely eccentric. I love my son but I want to strangle him at times. Penny is sweet but I want to strangle her also. Sheldon and Penny are like baby birds. I believe that they love each other on rare instances I can almost touch their love but they lock it away to shy to bring it out and instead we see a lot of crazy. I am on the fence with those two."
Rubbing his wife's belly, "I agree. Let's let Tre Junior get some sleep. We are going to need to be sharp to deal with the wily four."
The following morning the parents meet on the terrace for breakfast to discuss any last minute changes. They agreed to tell their offspring about "The Love Dare" during dinner. Tre provided the additional stipulation that the girls and guys have an impartial guardian. No one objected as she recommends for the guys the astronomer Rajesh. He is a loner because of his selective mutism and should get a kick out of viewing the stars from the different time periods.
Bar suggests Amy the neurobiologist as guardian for the girls. "She is detail-oriented and I am sick of hearing about her damn monkeys. This will help her to learn how to interact with humans. In addition, I propose be kept a secret from our offspring."
Reesecp volunteered to notify the guardians of their duties after breakfast. The Love Dare is to be kept secret from all except the couples, parents and guardians. The parents promised to meet 30 minutes before dinnertime on the terrace to present a united front.
Tre and Bar left the terrace together teleporting to Tre's family room. "It is fortunate that I made plans last month to spend the day with my daughters. I rarely see them with Penelope gallivanting all over the world with Sheldor and Penny traveling to exotic areas to perfect her gift."
"Bar, what are the girl's gifts? Due to their age I know they haven't acquired their third gift. They have two years before they reach twenty-five, correct?"
"Yes, they have two years before they receive their third and final gift. Penelope has the 'power of persuasion and telekinesis' and Penny has 'shape shifting and animal telepathy.' What about your boys?"
"My boys have all their gifts. Sheldor has telepathy, super strength and super speed. Sheldon has super learning, mind control and hard light constructs. I'm curious how do you control Penelope's power of persuasion?"
"Strangely enough anyone she is close to is immune to her powers. It was hilarious when the girls were younger. Penny was always screaming Penelope made me do it whenever she was in trouble. Fortunately, Reesecp can tell when she uses her power of persuasion on anyone."
"Fascinating." The ladies continued to discuss their children and pregnancy while awaiting the arrival of Penelope and Penny.
Dinnertime
Sheldor and Penelope were catching up regarding their day as they made their way to the terrace for dinner with their parents. "How was your girl time with the moms and your sister?"
"It was good. Your mom refuses to use her powers or take any medication for her morning, noon, and night sickness. She is documenting our immortal symptoms for a natural pregnancy for Penny and my future use. When the time comes I will have a natural pregnancy along with natural childbirth. Penny stated with conviction that when she finds out she is pregnant the baby will be removed and transferred to an incubator. She will return in eight months to pick it up." Sheldor laughed, he could see Penny doing that.
"How was your day Sheldor?"
"I spent the time exploring the earth's inner core and the Mariana Trench for a scientific theory of Sheldon's." The couple arrived at the terrace at the same time as Sheldon.
"Good evening Penelope have you seen Penny? I wanted to tell her about my breakthrough on dark matter and dark energy." Sheldon squeaked as Penny hugged him tight from behind.
"Hi sweetie! How was your day?" Sheldon was about to enter into a long discourse about his day. "Sweetie that sounds great but let's go in and eat so that we can leave and I can give your findings the attention they deserve." Penny winked at Sheldor and Penelope catching their relief that Sheldon's discussion was curtailed.
As the couples entered the terrace area Dramadrk was manning the grill and having a discussion with Reesecp. Their moms were lounging on the sofa talking and eating. A couple of tables were placed adjacent to the outdoor kitchen with their favorite foods. The young couples were notably wary. Bar invited them to go ahead and eat as she returned to her conversation with Tre. Dinner was an informal affair with all lounging on the sofa and chairs. It was an enjoyable dinner with light banter and a relaxing atmosphere. As the group finished with dessert the dads explained the purpose of the dinner.
The dads discussed concerns regarding their relationships and how they arrived at a solution, "The Love Dare." As the couples listened they romanticized the plan as a validation of their love. Sheldor and Penelope were ambivalent even though they enjoyed a good challenge.
Sheldon, a science buff, was looking forward to experiencing the human evolution of science. Penny was dreading the lack of footwear. However, both were concerned that even though they are not virgins they have yet to be intimate as everyone believes.
Reesecp alerts the young couples that 'The Love Dare' will start at 4:00 am tomorrow. "You will be monitored so you can't have predetermined signals or use any method outside the human experience to determine your mates identity. If you do you will travel back in time 50 years. Any questions?"
No one could think of a single question. After hugs and kisses the parents teleported to Dramadrk's home. Sheldor and Penelope decided to spend the night together and left for Sheldor's home.
"Sheldon I think we should become intimate before we begin the challenge. We need to be open and honest tonight so that we can recognize the essence of one another during the challenge."
"I agree Penny and he teleports her to a secluded spacious beach cabana complete with wine, fruit, and cheeses for their special night."
Dramadrk is rubbing his wife's back and addressing Reesecp and Bar. "Reesecp did you deliberately leave out that the kids will be without their gift? In addition, even though they will not die they will experience human emotions and girls love wine and you neglected to inform them they will experience hangovers."
"That and more they should discover on their own. The parents are silently anticipating fun times during The Love Dare."
This elaboration will feature 5 or less subchapters per each 50-year time jump. The stories are all based on the Gregorian calendar.
How appropriate that they travel back to 7 B.C - No Room at the Inn?
HAPPY HOLIDAYS!
