CH 87

In the spring, Joan went up to Austin with Allison and Bob. Joan was healing, her pectoral muscle was rebuilt, and she's been exercising and throwing the ball with Allison. Cameron, John and Delilah had seen them off yesterday. It was lunchtime, John came down and called, "Cameron, Delilah we got a problem."

Setting out lunch stuff Cameron sensed John was worried by his biologic signs. He was upset. "What is it?"

John glanced at the kids and said, "I need you and Delilah up here to see this."

Cameron got Delilah and they went up to John's office He motioned to the computer. "Coded message from John Henry."

Cameron sat down and played the message, 'immediate and vital.' It was a video of John Henry staring at the screen and making eye flashes. Cameron read the message. "New administration made Strategic arms deal. Self controlled entities are now illegal. Phase one of compliance, all AI machines must be removed from the military and have trackers installed. No further Self controlled machines are to be deigned or produced. Phase 2, All self controlled machines and cyborg entities need to be identified and tracked. Phase 3, disassembly and destruction of all self controlled machines to be carried out as soon as possible. Any manufacturing, concealment or assisting of self controlled machines is to be considered treason. Perform no further Cell phone calls, listening and identification systems are being set up as stand alone systems. Erasing all information about locations and names of every cyborg being then going off line."

Delilah's jaw dropped. "That is crazy! What idiot made that treaty?"

John let out a snort. "The same one who doubled taxes and is driving businesses away. I'd call General Watson, but from what John Henry just said, The cell phone network is being monitored."

"They are gong to track down and kill every terminator and cyborg," Cameron stated. "John Henry didn't say when this treaty is effective, so we must assume immediately."

"So much for recognizing Cyborgs as having rights," John said with a snort.

"Catherine is not going to take this lying own. She will fight," Cameron stated. "So will we, if we want to live."

John rubbed his chin. "Delilah, could you go tell Sonya about this? She may just be fine, be she can't speak on the phone or she'll be identified. Don't talk on your own phone either."

Delilah nodded and left.

Cameron said, "John, all the kids speak in analog, not digital, they should be able to not be detected over the cell network."

"Think Watson will tell them where we live?" he asked.

Cameron looked at him blankly. "Unknown. Until we know, then kids can't come home, Jackie needs to go see Daniel and Louise needs to be someplace safe also."

.

The sheriff got a call from his secretary. A man from the government was here to see him. He was already at the bar, so he signed the new liqueur license and headed back to his office.

Going in he saw General Watson but he wasn't in uniform. "General Watson?' he asked.

"Not any more," Watson said. I was fired for destroying government documents. My trial will most likely be coming up soon. I burned all the the paperwork and destroyed the digital information having anything to with the Connors, and any other 'machine AI' I knew about. There's something very dirty going on in Washington right now."

"Par for the course," the sheriff said. "I take it they have plans for the Connors?"

"Elimination," Watson told him. "It will start as mere tracking, which we were already doing. Then collection and disposal. Yes, they want to remove all AI's from the country."

"Didn't the Supreme Court state Intelligent machines have the same rights as humans? How can that be legal?"

"I didn't say it would be public knowledge," Watson said. "This is supposed to be a quiet operation. No one is to know until after it's done. They are using an arms treaty with China as the basis for the 'need' to remove all AI's."

The Sheriff let out a snort. "SO, who's next after all AI's are purged?"

"You mean after anyone who disagrees with them? Who knows. The purges have already started."

"I saw this once in Rome," the secretary said. "It ended the republic and was the start of the rule of the Roman Emperors. I believe it also happened in Germany, not long before World War Two."

"Says much for the future, doesn't it?" Watson stated.

"Unfortunately," the sheriff said with a huff. "Any plans to counter it?"

"I talked to a couple lawyers, Until the powers that be either make it public, or they actually start violating rights, there's nothing we can do," Watson told him. "Right now I'm in the shits for destroying classified material. I go public and they can get me for unauthorized disclosure of classified material. They will be happy to jump all over me for that."

"I'm sure," the sheriff agreed. "I'll pass on information to the appropriate people. What are you going to do?"

"Continue warning those I can. Now that you know, I need to get moving before someone finds me here. Good luck," Watson said with a nod and left.

"Good luck to you," the sheriff replied.

Once he left, the secretary asked, "Time to leave?"

The sheriff frowned. "I have to think about that. I've grown kind of fond of the people here."

.

Catherine Weaver was in John Henry's office. "What else have you found, John Henry?" she asked crisply.

"Our government contracts have been cancelled. I also detected massive payments from China to various officials in Washington. It is cloaked as reparation for the conflict we had with them, but the accounts are individual Swiss accounts and Cayman island accounts the money is going into. I am copying all information in print with time stamps. Mrs. Weaver, I do not know how much longer we will be safe here."

"Are the terminators not belonging to the military on their way?"

"They are, in two semi trucks. Another will be stopping by the area 51 base at the appointed time. Those terminators have been notified. The Connors have been notified of the treaty as well. Shall I contact our factories?"

"I've already done that. The materials they have will be repacked and sent to the new locations. Next will be the manufacturing machines. I will be leaving tomorrow. Savannah is in College, we'll leave her there. The moment you detect someone from the government activating this purge, get to Driftwood. Also, as soon as you are able, get onto those Swiss and Cayman accounts and draw out as much money as you can. It is to go into the President's on shore account. Mark it from China."

.

Barnabas was confused. Everything had been going fine and his factory was just starting to produce. Now, the orders were cancelled. Millions worth of manufacturing was no longer there. He struggled to come up with an answer with what to do. When the request to buy material and machines came in, he had no choice but to sell them.

Getting home, he got a surprise. Cameron's purple Jeep was at the mansion. He went in to see Mrs. Collins by Cameron who was looking at her laptop screen. He cleared his throat.

"Cameron, do you know what happened to the Zeria account? It was suddenly cancelled," he asked.

Watching the screen, she said, "I do. The President made an arms treaty with China. He is scrapping terminators to comply with that deal. John said don't worry about the 30 mill. Use it as you need it. We will also be paying for room, board and education for Jackie and Louise until further notice."

Barnabas sat down and eyed her. "He is scrapping the idea?"

"No, he plans to scrap all terminators and cyborgs. That is why Jackie and Louise are here. So they don't get scrapped," Cameron explained. "We are the only people who know you are one is us, so you're fairly safe."

"He's going to murder children?" Barnabas asked in shock.

"From what I know, we can't rule that out. China is paying him and Miss vice president tens of millions to do this treaty. Most likely others as well." Looking up from her screen, she said, "There is a very good chance there will be a war over this. We do not want any kids in harm's way. This is supposed to be a secret operation. We are going to try to expose it. Legally if possible. If not well, then it will get very bloody."

"You're talking possible civil war?" he asked as Mrs. Collin's cringed.

"It is possible."

On the TV, the thin white haired President was telling about the 'hundred year' peace deal with China to ensure stability in that region. How economic prosperity would reign and America would be safer that ever.

He didn't mention the fact that he had the entire staff of electronic surveillance laid off and the Intel he received was destroyed and not talked about by anyone who did not want to disappear.

.

Back in Austin, it was like they never left. Joan wasn't quite up to par with her arm she felt. Her fastest throw by radar was only 84 miles an hour. Still, it was good enough to get the ball to the other end of the field. Going over to the benches to get a Gatorade a dark haired man in a suit asked, "Joan Connor?"

"Yes?"

He handed her a paper. "This is for you."

She unfolded it and frowned at it. "Why an order for an X-ray? I got the graft for my arm, everything's OK now."

"It's not for your arm. That is a federal order to see if you're a cyborg," he explained.

"Why?" she asked.

Coach Baker came over. "What's that?"

Joan showed it to him. "Why would I get a federal order to get a X-ray?"

Coach Baker read the paper, then eyed the man and asked, "What court ordered this?"

"It's a federal order."

"It says here it's a request for Joan to get an X-ray, then if it's proven she is a cyborg, she is to get a locator implant. This isn't worth the paper it's written on. To order something like that, a Judge had to order it, and there has to be a reason, like she's suspected of some crime."

"Joan is a Connor. She's suspected of being a cyborg." the man stated.

"And what crime is that?" Coach Baker asked.

"All cyborgs are government property, She is required to comply."

"I'm not anyone's property," Joan said firmly.

A few others were gathering around them. Bob was flying his drone camera by them. The man saw this, got up and left.

Watching the man leave, Coach Baker said, "Joan, go in and get a lawyer and show him this. Also, tell him what that man said."

"After practice?"

"Now."

Joan did as he asked and went up to call some lawyer's offices. The third one she called ask her to read the paper. She did. The woman told her to come to the office in the morning.

Joan called home and told her father about the man coming with a 'federal order', and claiming she was 'property'. He too wanted to see that this lawyer had to say about the man's request. When he drove out to go to Austin, he stopped by the Littleton farm and dropped JJ and Peggy off. He also took Joan's birth certificate with him.

.

Going in to see the lawyer together, after Joan explained what happened on the field, John told Mr. Edwardson ESQ, about the treaty with China by the president and the intent of 'eliminating' all terminators and cyborgs.

"And this treaty, how do you know of it?" Mr. Edwardson asked.

"Internet intercept," John said. "We weren't sure if it was real, but now a man claiming to be from the government gave Joan a bogus request to make her get an X-ray. Since he didn't say he was from the government, and left the moment he realized there was a camera watching him, I find this highly suspicious."

"First point, Joan was obviously born and is a Unites States citizen, so she is not 'property' of anyone," Mr. Edwardson said. "Second point, the president can make deals and treaties with other nations provided they are approved by Congress. Since this man did not try to take Joan away under a pretense of arrest or force, the most I could go after him for is attempted kidnapping. What you are talking about is much larger. You're talking about abduction and murder. The best think I can tell you right now, is to watch out for this guy, or others. I'm going to look into this treaty and see what I can find out." He handed one of his cards to Joan, and to John. "If this, or any other person tries something similar, get their name and who they work for, then call me."

John took the card and handed him a folded paper. "There's some foreign to American bank transfers that have been found that may be interesting to lookup also. I believe these people currently live in Washington DC."

"Renters?"

"Yeah only for 4 years at a time."

.

The sheriff looked at Aliana as the thought about what to do to keep this treaty from turning into a ground battle.

Seeing he was eyeing her, Aliana cast him a sexy smile. "Are you thinking of me?" she asked in a purr.

"I certainly am," he agreed. "How are you at rewriting words on paper? Removing what's there and putting down say, what I want?"

"I can do that."

"Can you duplicate the President for a day or so?"

"Ohhh? Have you got mischief on your mind?" she asked with a twinkle in her eye.

He held out his hand and said, "I do indeed. Come over here and sit on my lap. I have some instructions for you that might take a while."

.

Ailana flew to Washington and into the White House. The president was at his desk in the oval office, the suited guards were in the room with him. Perfect. She moved down behind him and eased herself into him. Full possession, as only a demon can do. She had him nod off to sleep and looked at what he was doing. He was about to sign some legislation. The first one was a 50% reduction in oil production. She changed the wording to up to a 50% Increase, and signed his name to it. Fracking, instead of a total ban in 3 years, she made it again up to a 100% increase. The $500 million grants for solar power she changed to $500 million grants for education. She had fun and changed the wording on the tax increases bill to a tax reduction bill by 50%, and gave the stipulation that if a married couple worked, only the one with the least income would get taxed on their income. That should make someone's day. Once she had these changes done, she removed the mandate to add 4 more Supreme Court justices and made an executive order that removed his agreement to the treaty he made with China, and all documents in relation to it cancelled. She then made sure these were going to be carried out, then walked him into bed and put him in a nice long, deep sleep.

That should cause a bit of havoc in his life. OH! One more final thing. Leaving his body, she made a picture appear on the floor at the corner of his desk. It was a picture of him smiling, with his arms was around a young, naked oriental girl. She was sure he'd love that cute young girl in his picture.

Aliana teleported back home and told the sheriff what she did. He smiled brightly all night long, and really charged her up good. She was liking her Master much better lately. After she got her good charge, she wanted to go back and play in Washington some more. She wore him out with sex, the sheriff let her go.

.

The next morning the president wasn't the happiest man in the planet. His office was full of people, The speaker of the house was speaking, rather loudly at the bills he signed to pass into law that were not what was voted on. The leader of the senate had also found a stray picture on the floor and glared at him to go stomp off saying 'the attorney general was going to see this'. He also got a call from the CIA, wanting to know why he and his vice president had accepted millions of dollars into their personal accounts from China. Everyone was angry with him and he had no idea why.

Listening above them, Aliana grinned broadly at the chaos below her. She decided it help it out with little prods here and there. Yes, the Office recording system was on

The speaker of the house yelled, "How DARE you change the legislation we wrote, your job is only do sign the fucking thing! We altered all those votes so you could sit your ass here in the oval office! Do only what you're suppose to do!"

The president yelled back, "Shut up you bitch! Go whine to your collection of wannabees! I PAID plenty of people to be here!"

A member of the other party was standing back, smiling.

"I'll have your ass impeached out of here faster then you can Blink unless you do your job!" the speaker snapped.

The attorney General, who the president was going to replace with his own man then walked in and held the picture of the president and the naked girl up for the president to see. "Mr. President, this it yours?"

Aliana quickly took over his mouth. "Yes that's mine, what are you doing with that?" Right after he spoke, his face took on a look of horror.

Th Attorney General said, "I will be bringing Impeachment proceedings against you ... you pedophile."

"Me first, he tried to re-write the bills we lawfully passed!" the Speaker of the house snapped.

He was already angry, so Alana mentally coaxed the president to haul back and punch the speaker of the House.

Seeing another prime target, Aliana coaxed the vice president to give in to her anger and scream, "You Imbecile!" and started slapping the crap out of him. The president then began punching her. Secret service dove in to break up the melee.

Aliana had to teleport out onto the roof to roll in laughter. Washington DC was such a fun place! Since it was all recorded, she was sure she could get it played again during their indictments. Playing with egos as large as theirs was always fun, this was chaos at it's finest.

.

Joan had a fun game with Denver, and they were a little better than last year. After the game was over, she called that lawyer to see if he had found anything out.

"I did. I got sent the bank records and sent them on to the Attorney General. I think we are going to need a new president and vice president soon. Between their actions and admissions on tape, and a very damning photo the president admitted was his, Impeachment proceedings will be coming for them and the speaker of the house with multiple charges on each of them."

"How many charges?"

"I'm sure it will be on TV," he assured her.

Going to dinner at the hotel the Denver team was using, then staying for drinks, Joan, Bob and Allison had nice evening with Martha Good and few of her team. In the corner, a big screen TV was playing the news. The reporter was in front of the White House telling about Impeachments. The President was being Impeached for pedophilia, assault on the Speaker of the House and the Vice president, and taking bribes from a foreign country. The Vice president was also being impeached for taking bribes and assault, and the Speaker of the House was charged with defrauding an election.

Martha shook her head. "And these are people we're supposed to call "honorable?"

Joan giggled, "Maybe that title is to remind them that's how they should be."

"I bet other countries are having a good laugh at this," Bob noted.

Allison poked Joan in the shoulder. "Maybe you should run for office."

"Yeah, right," Joan grumbled. The then perked up. "Not me, BOB! We'll all support Bob for President!"

Allison grinned. "He can't do any worse than those other morons."

"He's not old enough," Martha reminded them. "Though he could probably win on a simple platform of, I will tell the truth!"

They all laughed.

"That would be original," Joan agreed. She looked at her glass. "When did this get empty?"

Bob got up. "I'll get us another round. Martha, Allie?"

"Me too!" Joan said holding her glass up.

"I know, hon," Bob told her. He kissed her and said, "Be right back."

"No, that's not how you say it!" Allison said with a frown. In her deepest voice and a finger in the air, she intoned, "I'll be back!"

"You be back, I'll be front," Joan said and giggled.

"One more, then that's it," Bob said. They were getting a little toasted.

This time, Joan let her nanites work when she slept so she wouldn't feel wrecked in the morning.

.

"You want it in wood instead of pressboard," Sonya said into the phone at the front counter in her store.

"That's right," the woman said. "I like the design, but this desk is … cheap."

Sonya chuckled. "All right. Take a picture of it and measure the length, and height so I can give you an estimate of what it will cost. Is there any particular wood you would like me to use?"

"If you can get the color close, that would be nice. As for as kind of wood , just something sturdy."

"We can do that. I would suggest pine, it's less expensive and will still last a good, long time. Are you sending it by E-mail or fax?"

"E-mail."

"All right, I'll be looking for your e-mail. You have a good day."

"You too."

Sonya noted this possible sale on her note pad, then went back to putting the bed frame together. The headboard had scrolled writing on it 'Dave' and 'Janet'. They were a newlywed couple. Coming into the store, Sonya thought they were going to start doing it right here on the floor. They wanted a 'good, sturdy' bed frame. She knew why. They planned to test out it's sturdiness. The pieces were finished, polyurethaned and waxed. The letters of their names were not the same mahogany finish as the rest of the headboard, but painted in with gold glitter. It did look pretty. It was ready to go, she carried it out to the finished pieces area, and looked at the next project on the list.

"Sonya, got a minute?" John called as he came in.

"Sure, what's up?" she said and leaned on the counter.

John leaned on the other side. "That concern Delilah told you about earlier? It's been taken care of. There won't be anyone coming searching for us."

"Good news," she agreed, then cast him a sly grin. "I got more good news, First baby is on the way."

"That's great! Congratulations!" John beaned. "Have a due date?"

"I know the official time, but both Cameron and Delilah delivered a few days early, so I'm setting it back a few days." She grinned widely and said, "Mark's real happy. He's the only one in his family that doesn't have kids yet."

"You know, as soon as I tell Cameron and Delilah, they are going to be down here hugging the crap out of you," John told her.

"I'm looking forward to it. I'm going to make all my baby furniture," Sonya said intently. "Mika also agreed to watch the store when I'm out."

"If there is anything you need, let us know," John said sincerely. "I have to run up to the Littleton's to let JJ and Peggy know it's safe to come home if they want. Though I'm pretty sure they are liking the farm life."

"Ah, so JJ is planting some seed?" Sonya asked with a crooked grin.

John grumbled. "Don't remind me."

"John, they're 17 now. They aren't little kids any more," she reminded him.

I think they grew up way too fast," he grumbled.

Sonya scrubbed his had. "John, just be glad they're happy."

"I'd like to put them in a convent or something."

"Just think of all the grandchildren," Sonya said brightly.

John stood up. "On that note, I'm heading off to see the sheriff."

Have a good day, John."

You too, Sonya."

Grandkids, Ughhh! He was way too young to be a grandfather. As he thought about that, he wondered how mom was going to take being a great-Grandmother. He'd stop by later and tell her the good news.

.

The intruder alarm went off. Delilah ran into the monitoring room to see what was going on. The terminator pointed to the screen watching the road around the lake.

"Two unauthorized vehicles are coming."

They were tractor-trailers. A pair of them were coming around the lake. Not sure what they were doing here, Delilah had another terminator come with her, and raced out to the road. They got up to the road to stand in the middle of it as the trucks were coming. The diver of the lead truck slowed down to stop. He got out of the cab, Delilah saw it was another terminator.

"Greetings, I am Bob. We are to be houses here. John Henry sent us." the terminator stated.

Delilah was thinking four terminators. They could put them in the house. "What's in the trucks?"

"115 Terminators 40 more should be on their way."

They didn't have room for that many. "Why did John Henry send you here?" Delilah asked.

"For the options available, this was the safest place."

Oh great.

.

"GREAT!" Joan cried at seeing the large large pool at the hotel they were going to stay at in Atlanta for their game there. It was bigger that Olympic sized. "Allie, we gotta bring our tails."

"We do," Allison agreed.

"Some video too?" Bob asked.

"Of course," Allie said. "That diving board on the end, we can have some fun with that."

This time getting on the bus Bob had his backpack on and carried the girls tails in separate bags. Joan told Coach Baker they were bringing their mermaid tails and Bob was going to film them. Thinking this would be great PR, he had an other cameraman with an underwater camera there to film them also. They got their room then Joan and Allison put there bikinis' on, mermaid tails over their shoulders. Bob got his camera drone out and they headed down to the pool.

Since many of the girls were poolside, a few with husbands or boyfriends and a few families. The fit football players had attracted men. Joan and Allison got their tails wet and laid the on the side as may people watched. Bob got his drone on the air and watched them slid into their tails from above.

"You got your tails!" Carla cried.

"We can swim like fish now!"Joan beamed.

Bob hadn't noticed before, or maybe he was just used to seeing her, but Joan was getting bigger on top by the way she was packed into that bra. She was bulging out the top and on the sides. Working herself into her tail she had a nice jiggle going in. Steve, with the underwater camera was close by as Joan then Allison rolled into the water.

This was the first time he had a clear overhead view as the girls swam. Damn they looked good! Slim, sexy and graceful. They surfaced mid pool to talk about something as they looked at the diving board. They then dove under to head for the shallow end, and picked up speed. The kids in the pool watched as Joan and Allison darted between then and turned to head back towards the deep end without surfacing. They stayed on the bottom. Allison swam side to side and did a graceful jump. Joan pumped hard the came to vertical to break the water jump before the board and jumping the air to catch it. She pulled herself farther up as the board bent down, the scrunched up and pushed herself off to do a backflip back it the water. Allison went deep and jumped up where Joan had been to catch the board and do the same, a brief handstand on the end be the board, then a backflip back in.

Applause sounded as people got closer to see the show. Mid pool, Joan and Allison exchanged hand signals. Joan swam to the shallow end, Allison to the deep end, they turned and charged each other. They both jumped high. Holding an arm out to each other hey clasped hands and spun each other around to do another spin and dive back in. They surfaced to more applause.

Besides surfacing, they rose up farther and tail walked towards each other. They sank down legs out so they flipped upside side town, their flukes broke the water to wve them, then they twne down to swim to the shallow end again.

Joan head some kids calling for them to come closer. They did, shallow enough so to surface and stand on their knees. "Hi Kids!" Joan said with a wave.

"Hi!" Allison said as she surfaced.

"Can I be a mermaid too!" one excited girl asked. "That looks like fun!"

"Are you professional mermaids?" the mother asked.

"Nope, we're football players," Joan replied.

"Anyone want to take a ride around the pool?" Allison asked.

"I DO!" The girl in front of her cried.

"Can you swim?"

"A little," the girl said meekly. I can float."

Allison then hand her hand out. "Then grab my hand with both of yours' Don't let go now, OK?"

The girl nodded and grabbed Allison's hand.

"Now, lay down like you're going to float," Allison instructed.

The girl did and Allison pulled gently, leaning back and towed her along.

Seeing this another boy asked Joan, "Can I go too?"

"You saw how she did that, didn't you?" Joan asked.

"I did!"

Joan held her hand out, "Then grab by hand with both of yours."

The boy did, Joan pulled him and began towing him with softer undulations. He bore a wide open grin as they made a circuit around the pool.

"Mommy, look at me!" the girl cried happily. She had her feet together trying to mimic Allison's undulations.

"Hey lady, can boys be mermaids too?" the boy asked, beaming at Joan.

"I'm Joan, and yes, we have mermen at home."

"COOL! So, I can be like Aquaman?"

Joan laughed. "Sure, you can be like Aquaman."

"Then, lets go faster!" the said and kicked his legs.

"OK, hold on!" Joan told him. She undulated faster keeping an eye on him.

"WALL!" several people shouted and pointed.

Joan looked, they were coming up and the deep end wall quickly. Joan turned tight and missed it. once she U-turned, she called back, "Thanks!"

They got a good wake in the water going back. Joan also noted a few more kids had their hands up crying, "Me, Me!"

.

Bob pulled back some as he girls towed five more kids around the pool, Allison and Joan were becoming spaced farther apart.

One teenage girl was serious about wanting to swim as a mermaid, so Joan explained about undulating, using your whole body to move, then had her feel her fin and explained about more flexible fins and harder fins. "... and practice by swimming like that with your legs and feet together. Remember, don't just kick, use your whole body to move." She had the girl hold onto the side and practice with her a bit. The girl could swim, so she went under with her, and watched her practice. The girl coudn't stay under long though. Joan surfaced with her.

"How do you stay down so long?" the girl asked, amazed.

"Lots and lots or practice," Joan told her. "You aren't used to undulating, so you have to work hard at it. The harder you work the more oxygen you use. Once you do it enough, you will hardly even think about it."

The girl giggled. "I can tell you're still doing it."

"Habit," Joan said with a shrug. "Learning good breath control helps a bunch also."

Allison surfaced by them. "Hey Joan, you really need a bigger bra."

"You do, You're pouring out the sides and the boys are taking notice." the girl agreed.

"The straps are out as far as they go."

"Maybe the next cup size up?" Allison guessed.

"Or two," the girl added.

Joan looked down. "Really?"

This last year you have been expanding," Allison told her.

"Yeah, maybe I have. But Bob's happy."

"I can't imagine why," Allison said with a roll of her eyes.

The girl laughed.

This was a fun time to have before the game tomorrow.
