Joey's Future : The Middle Years, pt. 1 J. Pardo Joey's Future : The Middle Years, pt. 1 introducing his children Mark and Lana, and their adventures. J. Pardo libguy3@yahoo.com Joey and Lizator had two beautiful children, Mark (to honor his dear friend, Mary), and Lana (Lizator wanted a short name that was easy to spell, unlike her own). The strength virus had changed the genetic makeup of the childrens' DNA, so that they matured at a fast rate. Each was walking by 3 months, running by 4 months. Lizator knew of the antics two small strong kids could get into, so she decided to stay at home full-time and keep them out of trouble. A physical and mental bond developed between the two, so each knew exactly where the other was, and if they were in danger. Lizator allowed them plenty of playtime outside, with the admonistion that they stay inside the yard. They obeyed their mother implicitedly. they didn't want her to get mad at them. When she got mad, she always separated them, and they loved to be in each other's company. So they tried to listen. When they were 5, their parents bought them a weight set. Lizator knew they were strong, but wanted to test their capabilities. She started them with 20 pound weights. Mark easily lifted the bar with both hands, then he dropped one hand and still managed to lift with no strain. He got up off the weight bench and wrapped his index finger around the weight. With a barely noticable grunt, he curled the weight under his chin. "Mom this is SO light, ain'tcha got something heavier?" Mark asked. Lana snuck up behind Mark, put her arms around him and lifted him up, and the weight. Her the biceps in her small arms bulged at the effort. "Lana! Put me down!" Mark ordered. Lana released her arms and he dropped to the ground with a grunt. He was angry, and picked up the weight bar. Rather than throw it at Lana, he exerted pressure from both ends and bent the bar in half. He smiled at the effort, especially after seeing his mother's expression of disbelief. Lizator stared at mark with her mouth wide open, shocked that her 5-year-old could bend an iron weight bar in half, without breaking a sweat. Surely Dr. Amator would be interested in this, and she went up the stairs to phone him. Across town, the circus was coming through. A crowd gathered downtown to see the parade of stars. The driver of the circus wagon carrying the lions didn't see the pothole in the street, and the wagon tipped over. The gate sprang open and several lions escaped, they scattered in different directions, although two eventually headed East at the same time. Confusion reigned as the lionkeepers were busy trying to gather the lions back. The townspeople helped to lift the wagon back on its wheels, but the iron bars holding the lions were in bad shape. Mark sensed the danger first. He was used to hearing the pretty birdies, but they were all quite now. He heard rustling near his ear, and was surprised when a lion jumped out toward him. Lana screamed and her mother came running. "What's wrong, Lana?" Lana couldn't express herself in words, so she screamed again and pointed to where Mark was. Lizator picked up Lana and ran as fast as she could. She saw the lion, wait now there were two, the lions go in for the kill, and she was powerless to stop it. "Kitties!" Mark yelled. Unaware that he was in danger. The first lion, a female, approached and raised her paw to strike. Mark grabbed the paw in mid-air and squeezed. The lion, not expecting pain, felt its knees buckle. When it was down, Mark climbed on top. His strong leg muscles pressed tightly against the lion's stomach, so that it had to obey this intruders wishes. The second lion didn't have such a restriction and crouched to prance, only to feel its tail being yanked. He twisted his body to bite the tail puller, and was rewarded by a smack on its nose. Its chin bumped the ground, as it hit hard. "No kitty. No bite!" Lana yelled in her tiny voice. The lion tried to roar fiercely, but its swelling chin allowed for only a quiet whimper. Lana ran over to her brother. "Down now, Brudder!" Reluctantly, Mark got off the cat, who lunged at him. Mark whacked the cat's face, imitating Popeye without the spinach. The cat spun around, and fell down into a lump of fur and muscle. Lizator, hoping the cat was not hurt ran to its side, but relaxed when she saw the cat breathing. Lana went over to the cat she hit and gently petted it. It yelped slightly when she put her hand under its chin. Then she did the unexpected. She gave the cat a big, wet kiss. She saw her mommy and daddy do it, so it was ok. The cat backed off surprised, then felt its chin improving, until it let out a lusty roar. It went over to Lana and laid down in front of her, his stomach fully exposed as if expecting a tummy rub, which she did. Mark went over to the big lioness and lifted her up on his shoulders. He gently placed the cat next to her mate, and cried when it wouldn't wake up. His tears rolled down his face and into the cat's mouth. Suddenly the lioness awoke, startled to see Mark standing next to her. She tensed as he approached, but relaxed as he gently petted her. Mark grew confident, and gave the lioness a gentle hug, and the cat did not resist. The kids were now the alphas to these cats, and no one was going to separate them. The townspeople and the lionkeepers eventually found the two stray lions, being gently held by two strong-looking children. the lionkeepers tried to coax the lions away, but they would not budge. Finally in desparation, they snapped thier whips in the lions direction. The kids, misunderstanding their intent, grabbed the whips and pulled them abuptly from the keepers hands. "Bad man!" Mark said, pulling a whip apart with both hands until it snapped in two. Lana took the other whip and tied in in 7 knots, so that it was unusable. "Go away!" Lana said, flexing her 12-inch biceps. Fredo gulped when he saw the softball-sized bicep, knowing that her muscle was larger than his. "I think we better go, Stanizio," Fredo insisted, "at least until we can come back with the boss." The circus wagon came close, and the lions that were captured smelled the others, straining their paws trying to open the damaged cage. Someone screamed. A 2-year-old toddler had gotten near the cage and was nearly caught as the lion lunged. Without thinking, Mark ran to the cage, and slapped the lion's paw, causing the lion to retreat in pain. Mark, then, grabbed the two bars on the cage which had large gaps in them and squeezed them together with his bare hands. His 12-inch biceps popping with veins at the effort. The lions were now safely in the cage, as Maximo, the circus owner approached. "Madone! I must have these children in my circus. I will pay them $50,000 each to perform," he said enthusiatically. "Not so fast," Lizator said. "I'm their mother, and I must talk with their father first, and I must come with them at all times." "Of course," Maximo said, "I insist on it." Maximo was soaking in Lizator's beauty as he said it. Surely, even she, could not resist his charming ways. He was confident that he'd bed her within a month. Lizator gathered the children and their lion companions, and headed home. Joey was in his own virtual world. He was sitting in his comfortochair with his hands covered with sensadine receptors. This allowed him to "feel" what he was seeing through his virtualcam. He could have been holding a sword to slay a dragon, but in this virtuality, he was admiring his lovely wife as she flexed for him. Her 100-inch ZZ cup breasts inviting him to suck, while she flexed her 60-inch biceps with their half-inch ropy veins fully pumped in rhythmic pleasure. "Hi, honey, I'm home!" Lizator said, then the scene went dead. As natural light penetrated his eyes, he realized that Lizator had disconnected the machine. This must be important, otherwise she always let him finish making love to him virtually. Lizator's still impressive soccer-ball shaped breasts greeted him as he adjusted to reality. He reached for them, but stopped when he sensed his children in the room with them, and two large lions. "You will tell me why we have two lions in the house, won't you?" Joey asked with slight fear in his voice. "It's okay, Dear!" Lizator said calmly, "our children have tamed these kittens (she was grinning after she said this) and they won't leave the children's side. They are from the circus, and the circus owner has asked the kids to join the circus. I insisted on going along, but also told him I'd have to talk with you first." "Which circus is it?" Joey asked. "Maximo's Greatest Circus on Earth!" Lizator answered. Joey knew of Maximo Fellini's reputation as a ladykiller, and knew that he would try to get his wife under the sheets before too long. "When do we start?" Joey asked. "We?" Lizator responded. "Yes, we!" Joey answered. "You didn't think that you'd leave and have all the fun without me? I love the circus! I'm sure I could something in it. I'm rich enough that I could buy it, but I'm bored here, and will be content just to help out." "I'm sure Maximo will be thrilled when I tell him," Lizator said as she hugged Joey. The kids ran to him and joined in the hug. They were going to be a circus family. Oh what fun!
