Author's Ramblings - Eventually, things in the City get so much back to normal, that Mazurka, Shakey, and Aesir can move out of the Clone Zone and go back to live in Mazurka's original Apartment block.
Which, by the way, has been fully refurbished, with a couple of surprises.
The Clone buy the apartments on either side of Mazurka's, and give them to Shakey and Aesir. The Clones have also installed connecting doors into Mazurka's apartment for convenience, and set up a roster to have some Clones permanently stationed in Mazurka's now empty rooms for security purposes.
======================================================================
Fragment - King of His Castle.
Shakey looked at one of the new doors that led into Mazurka's brand new apartment. On it was an old hand written sign saying 'Shakey's Lovely Suite'.
"Now more than ever before," Shakey smiled wistfully.
Then he opened the door, and stepped through it into the apartment suite next door to Mazurka's.
Shakey looked around the apartment he had just entered, 'I still can't believe it's mine…' he thought, taking a few deep breaths to calm himself.
'My apartment…' he thought, still coming to grips with the fact, 'Who'd ever have thought Rave would buy Mazurka's apartment building, and give the apartments on either side of Mazurka's to me and Aesir…'
Shakey felt a feeling of gratitude within him, 'I'll have to do something nice for the Clones, to repay this little gift of theirs…'
'Heh, because it's all mine,' he thought, his smile growing, 'I won't have to have any more cold or luke-warm showers, because Aesir and Mazurka have hogged all the hot water…'
'It's all mine…' he thought, his smile showing teeth, 'I won't have to worry about falling over Mazurka's beer cans, or other trash, ever again!'
'It's MINE!' he thought, grinning his head off, 'No more having to do other people's laundry, or cooking their meals, or cleaning up after them!'
'**MINE**' he thought, his face now wearing the expression of someone crazed with Ultimate Power, 'I can do whatever I want in here! I can lounge around in my underwear if I want to! And Aesir can't call me a perverted slob for doing so, because she won't BE here, to give me any Grief! HA! I can even run around naked with only a pair of underpants on my head!!'
"Bwa-Ha-Ha-Ha-Ha-ha!" Shakey laughed dementedly, totally euphoric with the feelings of freedom that any young man has, when he gets his own 'pad'…
Shakey decided to start his New Life off by having a nice, long, relaxing, and definitely hotter than luke-warm, bath.
"Why not?" he grinned maniacally, "I've got the bath, I've got the hot water, and I've GOT the perfumed Bath Salts!!
"…ahhhh…" Shakey was soon sighing contentedly, as he totally relaxed in the steaming tub, "This… is the life…"
Shakey stayed in the tub for a long time, revelling in the knowledge that now, he could have a good hot soak WHENEVER he wanted.
He got out of the tub, and saw his reflection in the full-length mirror in the bathroom. Like all other young males, he used this moment of privacy to strike 'bodybuilding poses' in front of the mirror.
The fact that he didn't have any muscle to show off, didn't matter in the least.
'You don't need to be stacked with slabs of beef to be an Adonis,' Shakey rationalised, remembering the classical Greek statues he'd seen in the Museum…
'I think I look as good as any of those guys,' Shakey thought, 'Hmmm, perhaps I should pose for a statue or two?'
He started to dress, but thought better of it, 'Why bother? I'm the only person in here! Heh! You can't nag me for THIS, Aesir!'
He decided to walk back to his bedroom in the 'buff', reaffirming the fact that he was undisputed Lord and Master of his new Domain.
He took a vicious delight in knowing that his behaviour would really irk Aesir.
'Oh boy… If she ONLY knew… Well you aren't here now, Aesir, and you WON'T know, so you can't nag me for what I do in the privacy of **MY** apartment…'
He opened the bathroom door, letting a cloud of steam billow before him, smiling as a refreshing feeling of Ultimate Freedom sang within his chest…
Only to have the smile freeze on his face, as the mists parted and he suddenly became aware that he was NOT alone in the apartment.
Outside the bathroom door, were three Rave Clones.
"Shakey, we…" they chorused, only to fall silent as they saw that Shakey was most definitely NOT 'dressed for visitors'…
"…r… …ra… …rave…" Shakey stuttered, nearly paralysed with shock, "…wh-what…?"
The three Clones blinked in unison, their wide-eyed faces turning pink.
Because they were all virtuous young maidens, the Clones were embarrassed by the unexpected situation.
Because they were all nice girls, and 'sensitive' to the emotions of others, the Clones decided to avert their gaze from Shakey, not wanting to upset him.
Because they were all 'curious about boys', the 'averting of their gaze' turned into a 'demure lowering of their gaze towards the Floor'… Which, by COMPLETE coincidence, allowed them to give Shakey's physique the old 'once over' multiplied by 3 pairs of eyes.
And because they all had a 'crush' on Shakey, they ALL had not so subtle smiles on their blushing faces…
In deep shock, Shakey stepped back and shut the Bathroom door, cutting off the sight of the happily embarrassed Clones.
Shakey stumbled back against the wall, and slid down it until he was in a sitting position on the Bathroom floor.
"…oh… My… GOD…!" he wailed, his blush spreading all over his squeaky clean body.
A knocking sound came from the bathroom door.
Shakey's head turned fearfully towards the door, as if it was a Portal of Doom…
"Shakey?" asked a Clone's voice, "Are you all right?"
"…y-yeah…" Shakey nervously choked out, "…i'm… fine…"
"Dinner is ready at Mazurka's" the unseen Clone advised, "Will you want some?"
"…oh-kay…" breathed Shakey, starting to get over the worst of his shock now that his heart had started beating again.
'Thank God!' Shakey thought, waves of relief washing over him, 'The Rave Clones are taking this calmly… If that had been Aesir…'
"Oh, and Shakey?" added the voice, "We WON'T mind if you turn up like that!"
"!!TWELVE!!" came an outraged exclamation from outside.
"What?" asked the voice, "I am only trying to reassure him…"
