Date: August 2045
Amadeus rose from his dreams
At 10 morning time. He prepared
For his for his birthday. He was thinking
Of the day ahead as he Showered.
"Yeaah, I'm sixteen today!"
Afterwards Amadeus dressed then
Pounded the stairs in search of
Everybody else he caught his
Father in the family room first.
"Hey Dad!" He happily greeted
Damian. In return Damian tapped
His chest. "Hey big man! Happy
Birthday! Molly came through the
Doorway while they standing near
"Happy birthday Mister Damian
Amadeus Hakim! How does
Sixteen feel?" She asked as she
Smoothed his wild dreads. He
Said, "I donknow...I guess I feel like
A real teenager. I'm kind of like...
A man, right? Both Molly and
Damian Replied. "No!" Damian
Said, "But you're almost there.
But...still just sixteen. Take it
Easy. One step at a time." Amadeus
Asked, "0is my curfew changing now?"
Damian said, "Yeah Hoss twelve o'clock."
"No later." Now this time Damian
Made his 45th birthday while
Molly and Dolly were 42 in July.
Amadeus went to visit DJ and
Damali in the small house. The
Door was opened. He walked in.
"Hey where are y'all." He heard
A muffled voice say, "We're up
Here!" They were upstairs. Amadeus
Bounded the stairs to find the
Mystery. He went from room to
Room. Finding lastly in a large
Room no furniture. Amadeus said
"Yall are poor. Why don't you have
Furniture in this place? Damali
Said, "because we are poor! Man!"
DJ remembered, "Oh Happy birthday
Youngster!" "Thanks bro." Amadeus
Replied. "What y'all doing? Let me
In!" Damali said, "Alright, hold the
Flash light." While he proceeded
Through a dark low set Doorway.
Amadeus held the flashlight high
As he followed DJ and Damali.
Down a descending staircase.
They reached the bottom which
Felt like dirt.
"You could barely see a thing.
Is there a light switch?" DJ said,
"Amadeus first of all there's no
Light bulb! Amadeus Replied,
"Brother! How do you know there's
No light bulb if you can't find the
Switch!" Damali Interfered and
Said "look cousins! Stop the bully
Blustering business!" Amadeus
Shine the light around and find a
Switch." Amadeus complied and
Found a small switch near a door.
Amadeus exclaimed, "Ahyo here's
Another door!" DJ and Damali
Searched the room curiously
Noticing blue painted walls when
Amadeus opened the newly
Discovered door. The sunlight was
Bright blinding his sight. He stood
On the backyard of the small house.
Amadeus walked around the house
And returned through the front
Entrance. Then went outside again
Observing work happening across
The road as DJ and Damali came
Up beside him. Amadeus asked
"DJ what's going on over there
Across the road is that our property?"
DJ said, "I don't know. We better
Ask Dad." Damali said. "Yeah come on.
Ame." They entered the main house
And knocked on Damian's den door.
All three entered the large den
Together. Damian sat at his digital
Desk busy with a blueprint. DJ
asked, "Dad what's being built on
The property across the road?"
Damian looked up with a smiling
Response, "Hey I'm glad you asked
That's for you Fellows. It won't
Be complete until another four
Years." It'll be three huge mansions
Equipped With all that you will need.
You houses will be a bit bigger than
This one." Go for a tour if you'd
Like, state of the art material most
Modern equipment excellent
Architectural design." He put his
Arms around them, "Nothing but
The best four years or less."
They left the den quickly headed
For the prosperous promised
Property. First contact, construction
Worker Lance. Damali introduced
Himself first. "What...how many
Levels will this be?" The man
Replied "oh all of these will be
Three levels. This is the biggest
Site I've worked on so far. You see
This state of the art crane, remote
Control." The Teenagers were Awed.
DJ said, "You see this is how much
Dad loves us." Lance continued
"All of this is Top Tiger Technology"
DJ blustered, "This is...outrageously
Extensive exuberantly expensive
Tenaciously expansive." Damali
Said, "Alright DJ, stop partner we
Get you."
