Chapter 11
Jackson who was still spitting smoke from his mouth started to speak.
"Oh your majesty, you really don't want to waste your time with him. He really wasn't at the ball last night."
"I think the orders were that EVERY man in the mega city was to try it on." Agent K answered Jackson in a stern tone.
"Yeah." Agent J chimed in.
She turned to Smith again and held up the earpiece.
"I'm looking for the owner of this." She told him.
Smith looked at it for a second.
"Did you have any luck finding him?" He asked.
"Not yet." She answered.
And then he looked over at his fellow agents who now had smoke rising from their hair.
"What happened to them?"
"They weren't the owner. Every time a man tried it on, they got the same result." She told him.
"Oh, well, I'm willing to take a gamble. How about I try it on." He offered.
Kestra looked the other agents.
"Sure it's his funeral if he wants to try the damned thing on." Jackson said.
"Yeah let him try it on." Johnson chimed in.
The three agents looked at each other thinking that Smith would meet the same fate as they all did when they tried it on. Kestra carefully put it on his ear and everyone held their breath. There was no crackling and no smoke coming from his ears. Instead a green light encased his whole body like a cocoon and everyone in the room watched as the light faded and Smith stood there in the suit he wore to the ball the night before. Agents Jackson, Johnson, and Thompson looked at him in disbelief.
"That's impossible!" Jackson shouted.
"No way!" Thompson and Johnson said.
Kestra smiled and kissed him tenderly.
"I knew I'd find you again." She said and then they kissed some more.
Agent J was wiping a tear from underneath his sunglasses as Smith continued kissing the princess.
"J are you crying?" K asked.
"No man, I just got something in my eye." J said.
Machina handed him a tissue. The three agents sat on the couch with their arms folded. Jackson, Johnson and Thompson all looked as if they were about to cry.
"This isn't fair." Jackson said
"Yeah we're the upgrades!" Johnson sniffled.
"That sucks!" Thompson said as he burst into tears.
And then all three agents burst into tears like the big spoiled babies they really were. She broke her kiss from Smith and looked at terrible trio.
"What was your relation to these men?" She asked.
"I was their servant." Smith told her.
"Well you don't have to be anymore." Kestra told him lovingly.
"Well there is one slight problem though." Machina said.
"Oh yeah, the princess is a child of Zion and Smith is a program." Agent K said.
"So what are we going to do?" Kestra asked.
"I believe there's something I can do."
The group looked at Neo who was now in the middle of the room.
"And you are?" Machina asked.
"I'm Smith's Fairy God Father. Who the hell were you expecting? Glenda the Good Witch? But you can call me Neo."
He handed Smith a blue pill.
"Now with this you will finally be able to join Kestra in Zion." Neo told him.
He took the pill from his hand and looked at it and then at Kestra. Everyone in the room watched him as they held their breath. He turned to Machina.
"If I choose to go to Zion, there is one thing that I ask."
"And what is that?" Machina asked.
And then he looked at his fellow agents as he spoke.
"That you give my fellow agent programs the same courtesy that they have given me when I was in their service." He said with a grin.
The terrible trio looked at him and gulped at the same time knowing that pay backs were a bitch. Machina looked at them with a wicked grin.
"You know I am needing some new houseboys." And then she looked at Smith. "Done."
And with that he took the blue pill.
A few months later, the royal wedding of Princess Kestra to the former agent program who was now Prince Smith took place in kingdom of Zion and everyone except agents Jackson, Johnson and Thompson who were now Machina's houseboys lived happily ever after.
