CHAPTER 1

A mother is in a hospital preparing to give birth to her forth and final child. Her name is Deborah Ann Evans and she is 31 years old. Deborah’s husband is standing behind her, coaching her, in the birthing room. Deborah’s doctor was allowing her husband, Claude Dakota Evans, to be with her for her final child. The doctor had informed Deborah that she could no longer, or should no longer, have anymore children because of her kidney disease. Deborah’s kidneys were only working at about 75 percent efficiency and the doctor had warned her that having anymore babies would cause undue stress on her already failing kidneys and possibly cause total renal failure. Claude and Deborah decided to heed the doctor’s warning and not have anymore kids even though they had wanted six, so 4 would have to do. Claude was planning to have a vasectomy so he would not be able to father anymore children. But first he was going to witness the birth of his wife’s final child and Claude was excited because of the date. It was December 31, 1970 and the time was 11:57 PM. Deborah’s baby was due to be born sometime in January, but no one was expecting the baby to come so soon. The doctor said the child was due around the fifth of January but that changed when Deborah went into full labor and she was fully dilated. The baby wanted out now and was due any minute. Deborah screamed and moaned. Claude held her hand and told her to breathe. The time was 11:58 PM and 59 seconds; 11:59 PM and 00 seconds. The clock was ticking fast.

Claude and Deborah’s 3 daughters were in the Community Hospital waiting room in the small city of Dersonville, IN and waited to see if they were going to have a new baby brother or sister. Everybody was hoping for a boy. The youngest daughter, Emma Ann Evans who was 5, was asleep with her head on her oldest sister’s lap and her legs on the sofa Emma and her sister were on. The oldest daughter, Johnny Mae Evans; 13 years old, was sitting on the end of the sofa with her head leaning against the palm of her hand with her elbow on the sofa arm rest. Johnny was resting her eyes and had her other arm and hand resting gently on Emma’s shoulder. The second oldest daughter, Yolanda Sue Evans; 9 years old, was sitting in a rocking recliner while reading a science magazine. Yolanda was reading an article about the supposed possibilities and theories about time travel. The article had a sub-section about an old man, 84 years old, that claimed to have been saved from a building fire, along with 28 other boys at a summer camp, by a boy from the future. The old man was 13 at the time of the fire and he was still alive and fairly healthy. The old man, whose name was Carl, explained that the bunk cabin he was sleeping in had caught fire from an electrical short and the flames had quickly engulfed the entire cabin, sealing the boys only way out. All the boys had just about succumbed from the acrid smoke and several boys were severely burned from the flames. Carl was about to pass out when a wall of water, like a small tidal wave, came from nowhere and completely doused the flames and washed all the smoke away. Suddenly Carl and his bunkmates were alert, alive AND uninjured.

Several of the boys had been burned over 90 percent of their bodies and now suddenly they were all healed, completely. It didn’t make sense. Carl knew he and the other boys were goners, should have been and where the hell had all that water come from? The camp didn’t have running water and the fire department, which was miles away, couldn’t have put the fire out with that much water that quickly. Carl also claimed that the water itself seemed strange; like it was glowing with a pure white kind of glow and that it seemed to have a kind of life sustaining force to it. Carl thinks the water itself may have sustained and healed the boys. Carl remembered being completely submerged under water for several seconds and NOT having to hold his breath. It was strange to say the least. Carl and the other young boys in the burned out dark cabin were trying to figure out what was going on and find their way outside when someone or something kicked in the thick wooden burned up door as if it wasn’t even there. The door had splintered into thousands of tiny pieces like a giant man kicked it in. The boys were all immediately frightened and huddled together in the dark with the one remaining working oil lantern which Carl was holding up towards the door. Everybody was scared and some of the boys were crying and whimpering because they did not know what the hell to expect. They had all nearly been burned to death and now suddenly, miraculously, they were all alive at the hands of some mysterious giant. At least that is what Carl and the other boys thought until their benefactor presented himself into what little light was coming from the lantern Carl was holding. All the boys were shocked when they saw a slight built adolescent black boy who had blond wavy hair with black and red strands of hair throughout. And his hair was not curly like other black kids Carl had seen before.

Who was this kid? Carl thought. The boy was small and appeared to be about 11 or 12 and maybe weighed about 80 pounds tops; possibly 85 or 90.

How the hell did this little black boy kick in the thick ass wooden door? Everyone wondered when the boy spoke up.

Hi. My name is Dakota. Is everyone all right? The boy asked. All the boys either said yes or simply shook their heads.

Hi, Dakota. How did you kick this door in? It’s huge. Did you put the fire out? Carl asked. Since Carl was holding the lantern he had unwittingly become the spokesperson for the group of boys in the burnt-to-a-crisp cabin.

Yes.

How? How did you handle that much water?

How I kicked the door in and how I put the fire out may take some explaining.

I’ll say and did you have anything to due with healing the boys that had been burned and where are you from?

Yes I did that. Well the water did. I have the ability to do certain things with water, miraculous things you and the other boys may not understand or comprehend. And I’m from Indiana and um, uh, I’m from the future. I can travel through time. DONG…DONG…DONG!

Yolanda was startled out of reading the magazine and she glanced up to see the grandfather clock that was sitting in the waiting room chiming. It said 12:00 midnight. It was January 1, 1971. A TV in the room was on and it showed the glowing white light New Year’s Eve ball in Times Square, New York City. The clock chimed 12 times. Yolanda continued to read the fascinating article about Carl, the fire and the superhuman boy named Dakota for several minutes until her dad came out of the birthing wing into the waiting room and tapped her shoulder. Yolanda was slightly startled when her shoulder was tapped. She had been so into the article, she hadn’t even seen her daddy walk up.

Oh, daddy you scared me, Yolanda said in somewhat of a whisper so as not to wake her sisters. But Johnny was only resting her eyes and was not asleep and lifted her head upon hearing Yolanda say daddy. But Emma was asleep and did not budge.

Sorry honey. I just wanted to tell you guys your mother is fine and that you all have a baby brother. He was born at 12:00 AM and 30 seconds. He is a New Year’s baby, Claude said with a smile. Yolanda and Johnny gasped with delight, quietly, so as not to wake Emma.

What did you and mom name him, dad? Johnny asked in a quiet tone.

Tevin Dakota Evans.

Oh, the same middle name as you and your mother’s father, huh?

Yup. Listen, I am going to go back and check on your mom. They are cleaning her and Tevin up and then they are going to take your mom to her room where she will rest and you will be able to see your brother through the observation window where they keep all the babies, okay?

Okay, Yolanda said.

Okay dad, Johnny said.

I’ll come get you all when they have Tevin ready, Claude said as he walked off to check on his wife and new son. Yolanda then turned her attention back to her magazine and Johnny closed her eyes again and waited for her dad to return. As Yolanda read the article about Carl, a nurse that was tidying up the waiting room spoke up.

Hey you can keep that magazine if you want honey. It is 2 months old and we were going to throw it out anyway. You seem to be enjoying it, the nurse said.

Oh really? Thank you ma’am, Yolanda said happily.

No problem and congrats on your new baby brother, the nurse said with a smile as she headed back to the nurse’s station. Yolanda then continued reading about the intriguing boy from the future named Dakota and how he saved 29 innocent boys from a painful fiery death. Yolanda wondered with glee if the story was true or not since there was nothing in any known history books about a superhuman fire fighting boy named Dakota. If it was true, Yolanda wondered if she might be able to EVER meet this black boy with wavy blond hair some day. Wow! Yolanda wondered how cute this black boy was and what he looked like with blond hair. Little did Yolanda know that she was much closer to the superhuman boy than she realized. Yolanda would one day learn that her baby brother, Tevin Dakota Evans, would be the savior of Carl and 28 other boys at a summer camp in Arkansas in the year 1901, 70 years BEFORE Tevin was born! But 70 years back in time for Tevin, before his birth, is nothing. You see, Tevin ventures back in time farther than he ever could have imagined, back to before the sun, Earth, moon and the rest of the solar system even existed. And Tevin goes forward in time, way into the future, so far in fact that Tevin witnesses the death of the universe and what he sees astonishes him. Tevin learns that the universe, and every other universe he had visited, is way more complicated than he could ever have imagined.

CHAPTER 2

Tweet-tweet…Tweet-tweet…Chirp…Chirp. Liam Devlinson opened his eyes, yawned and stretched to the sounds of birds chirping and singing and the sounds of ocean water lapping on the shore. Liam sat up in bed and smiled. Today was the day. Liam was FINALLY going to get a chance to interview the famous Tevin Dakota Evans-Freemont.

Liam was a reporter for the Earth-Mars Today newspaper and news service which was well known and read all throughout the entire galaxy and a few other galaxies even. Liam glanced at his holo-clock. It was a new clock he had gotten for his birthday that displayed the time and date as a 3 dimensional hologram in seemingly thin air. And it displayed the time and date in many colors, at least 500 different colors to choose from. The time and date the clock displayed was 8:00AM-LMCT Time, December 27, 2099. Liam swung his legs out of bed to the floor and placed his feet in a pair of slippers. Liam could smell coffee and the breakfast his wife, Jenny, was cooking and he could hear his 3 children playing. They were out of school for the Christmas and New Year’s Eve holidays. Liam stood up and glanced at the large picture window in the bedroom he and his wife shared and took in the picture it displayed. The window was also a giant liquid-diamond-crystal television and computer monitor display system. The screen system ran the entire length of the wall and was 20 feet long. The system was tied into the house computer core and as well as displaying different forms of entertainment and computer images, the system also acted as an alarm clock.

Jenny was always up before the alarm went off so she could start breakfast, but Liam always woke to a different moving scene displayed on the 20 foot screen. This morning it was a sunrise over an ocean with the waves gently lapping over a white sand beach with birds chirping and singing. It was beautiful to say the least. The system could display 1200 different beach scenes alone and 3000 scenes total from many locations on Earth and several other planets in other star systems. The scene was from a beach on the planet Baeylieon, a world 620 light years from Earth. Humans officially made contact with Baeylieon in the year 2026 shortly after scientists on Earth developed long distance interstellar faster-than-light travel. That travel was based on knowledge obtained from working with Tevin and his ability to make hyper-space windows with his mind and move his body many times faster than the speed of light. Some of the knowledge the scientists had came from several advanced civilizations Tevin had visited in his many travels through time and space AND to different universes. Liam was going to be interviewing Tevin on the daily talk show he hosted which was produced by Earth-Mars Today News Publications and filmed live on Mars. The show was then broadcast all throughout the galaxy and to other galaxies via an artificial wormhole communications network. The interview was a special segment and was going to take place on the one hour live show over the course of 3 days. Tevin would tell his entire story about his life and the event that changed it and made him who he is today and the miracles that life changing event allowed him to create and experience.

Liam and his family lived on Mars which was a miracle in itself. Tevin was also going to discuss how he paved the way for Mars to be terra-formed for habitation. When Tevin was 12 years old Mars was technically dead for all intents and purposes. Tevin, with the help of scientists and mechanical, structural, design and many other types of engineers, had turned Mars into a planet with a breathable atmosphere which had life with animals, plants, people, cities, 3 large oceans and many lakes. Mars probably could have been terra-formed by humans eventually in the distant future, most likely in the 22nd or 23rd century, but with Tevin and his miraculous abilities it had been completed by the year 2015 in his universe. Tevin had visited many universes when he was a young boy of 12 and not all of them had the privilege of a terra-formed Mars. In a few universes Earth had been destroyed by natural or intentional means and all the humans were dead or at least they appeared to be. It was an experience Tevin hoped he would never have to live through again; seeing all humans possibly dead and Earth a dry dead planet. Everyone was just glad it hadn’t happened in this universe, Tevin’s universe, and most of the Earths in the other universes. Earth and humans seemed to have a solid future in most universes Tevin had visited and he was glad of that.

Most of the things Tevin had accomplished were already known to the general public, but there were some personal and private things that Tevin had never discussed with the media. Liam was being given the privilege of interviewing Tevin while he told his life story and his spouse, children and all his grandchildren would be in the studio audience watching and listening. It was a monumental moment for Tevin because in just over 4 days he would be celebrating his 129th birthday and didn’t look a day over 30. Tevin had been given the gift of long life, but Tevin knew he would not live forever because he had seen his death when he visited the very distant future, nor would he want to live forever. But Tevin knew he had many things to accomplish before he died and Tevin actually wasn’t the oldest living person. Tevin’s spouse, David, was actually 5 years older than him and was 133. David had also been given the gift of long life through his marriage to Tevin. At the time Tevin and David married, two men normally would NOT have been allowed to wed one another, but because of Tevin’s transformation due to his playground accident, Tevin had been given the ability to bear children. Tevin’s entire body had changed and one of the changes his body made was to develop female sex organs in addition to his male stuff. Tevin’s body literally grew a uterus, ovaries and vagina. Tevin’s pelvis even grew slightly wider to accommodate a growing fetus. It was a grand miracle to say the least and it caused all kinds of controversy for Tevin and his family as well as many death threats if Tevin EVER had any children. Tevin had literally overnight become a hermaphrodite and he hated that word. Tevin preferred male-female hybrid, male hybrid or just MH. Whenever kids or adults would call Tevin her-ma or her-man it would enrage Tevin and he considered those insults fighting words. But nowadays those issues were not a problem as many things had changed since Tevin was 12. It had been 116 years since Tevin’s transformation and things were now better than ever. Liam looked at his clock; 8:15 AM Local Mars Capital Time. He had been daydreaming, thinking about Tevin. Liam had to get dressed, have breakfast and head to work by 9:30 AM. The show taped at 11 AM but Liam would have plenty of time to get to the studio. Liam, his wife and kids had a home in the suburb of Atlantica which was just 20 minutes by maglev outside the sprawling Mars capital city of Ann Evans, which Tevin had been given the privilege to name when the first dirt was turned to build the first city of Mars. Tevin had named the city after his deceased mother who had passed away when he was just 16. Liam was about to turn 36 and shared his birthday with Tevin, so it would be a celebration for 2 well known men. Liam began issuing instructions to the computer interface in his bedroom.

Computer; LDC off; show clear window; start shower; standard temp, Liam said as he gave commands to the computer system that controlled his home. The computer interface beeped softly 3 times and the beach scene on the liquid-diamond-crystal screen instantly faded away to reveal a crystal clear window through which Liam could now see his back yard with its perfectly manicured grass and his children’s wooden swing set. The swing set was made from pine trees grown on Mars and had a gold plated titanium slide and several other amenities such as a small tree house. Liam made good money at his job and he wanted the best for his wife and kids. Liam’s home was built by a small lake and his house had a pier and a nice fishing yacht tied to it. The yacht was painted red and white with gold accents. The yacht also had gold plated grab irons and door knobs made of Mars solid gold. The boat itself was an amazing piece of technology. It didn’t use any kind of fossil fuel for power. In fact no technology on Mars used fossil fuels for direct energy although fossil fuels were used for other purposes.

Everything on Mars was powered by an advanced solar cell system, fusion power or power modules which got their energy from the vacuum of space or from the intense gravity and radiation of a black hole. The technology was impressive to say the least. One power module could power a city the size of Los Angeles AND its suburbs for years before it needed to be recharged or replaced. The modules were a dark orange, blue or white glowing circular crystal about 12 inches long and 6 inches wide at its widest point tapering off to 2 inches at the thinnest point and held enormous power, hence enough to power a starship or Los Angeles. The power module technology had been discovered by Tevin during his travels and exploits through time, space and to advanced civilizations. When Tevin FINALLY returned home after being lost traveling for nearly 2 years of his life, he brought with him a wealth of knowledge including the power module technology which the White House and military immediately classified highly TOP SECRET. The US government swore Tevin to secrecy for the time being and he ultimately agreed knowing a majority of the knowledge he brought back would cause all kinds of disturbances in the religious and scientific community. Tevin did not want to be responsible for that brouhaha so he agreed to keep his mouth shut, not even discussing the Top Secret material with his family for their protection. But nowadays, on the eve of the 22nd century, most of the knowledge Tevin brought back to 1983 had been declassified and he was going to be discussing most of it including the knowledge that was still unknown to the public. All the scientific knowledge was well known all throughout the entire United Galactic Congress which was a collection of planets, in the Magenta Wave Galaxy and other galaxies, which were allied together to form a governing body to see to the people’s needs. Tevin found out that the Magenta Wave Galaxy had a different name in some of the other universes he had visited such as the Milky Way or the Magellan Galaxy. Turns out the different universes had many differences as well as many similarities.

The United Galactic Congress, or UGC, had a president, vice-president, a legislative branch, a judiciary branch, a ministry, and a space military defense fleet, known as the Congressional Defense Fleet or Con Def Fleet. The UGC President was the Executive Commander of the CDF. The CDF also operated a scientific branch for peaceful exploration and several governing bodies including an intelligence branch known as the Galactic Intelligence Association, or GIA. The UGC had a law enforcement branch called the Congressional Investigation Bureau, or CIB, which operated various law enforcement agencies throughout the UGC. The legislative branch of the UGC held all the government officials which represented the citizens of the different sentient species which made up the UGC. The UGC had senators and representatives. The senators worked in the UGC House of Senate and the representatives worked in the UGC house of Citizens. Each species had 4 senators to represent the entire population of the species including the home world and all colonies. Every species was given a number of seats in the UGC House of Citizens based on their entire population. So the more citizens a species had the more representatives they were allowed to have in the HC. The judiciary branch of the UGC known as the Citizens Judiciary oversaw the operation of the court system the UGC utilized as well as the operation of a prison system to punish those who committed crimes against citizens of the UGC. The Judiciary had a central or supreme court known as the Executive Court. The UGC also had regional and local courts which were operated by officials elected locally. The 18 judges which worked on the Executive Court were appointed by the UGC president and confirmed by the legislative branch. The top judge on the Executive Court was known as the Supreme Magistrate. The UGC Ministry held the officials which saw to the needs of the populace such as the Minister of Defense, Minister of State, Energy, Transportation, Education and so on. One of the scientific advances Tevin brought back, the power modules, was used all throughout the UGC and even individual homes had their own smaller version of a power module. The home power module system or HPM, allowed for the elimination of power lines to houses and businesses, which used a similar system known as the CPM or corporate power module system. Without power lines the cities and landscape looked a lot cleaner without tacky power lines strung out all over the place. Several utility companies employed many technicians who saw to the manufacture of modules, the maintenance, repair and replacement of modules and the maintenance of other systems related to power grids throughout the congress.

Tevin was also going to discuss some religious knowledge obtained during his quest thorough time that had not been told to the general public. Only Tevin’s closest confidant and spouse, David, knew of Tevin’s religious experiences in the past. Tevin’s parents and sisters had been told about his religious experiences but they were long since dead and Tevin had never told his children any details about those experiences

Uh dad, you okay? A voice asked.

Huh, um, what’s that? Liam said startled by the voice before he shook his head slightly to clear it and bring himself back to the present. Liam turned his head to address the person that had startled him. It was his son, Stefan, who was a male-female hybrid like Tevin or just MH or male-hybrid as some people liked to say. Stefan was 13 years old.

Heh, you were staring off into space dad. You okay? You are usually getting out of the shower by now, Stefan said with a smirk as he took his right hand and moved a lock of black hair out of his face and blue eyes. Stefan’s hair style was similar to Tevin’s, which was typical of male-hybrid boys and men. Male-hybrids had different colors of hair but all hybrids generally had the same style of hair, which was straight and wavy with colors of red, blond and black in some form. But some hybrid boys had long curly locks. Hybrid boys either had hair like Stefan or mostly red with blond and black stands or blond with red and black stands like Tevin. Hybrid boys and men were difficult to distinguish from other male children and adults because non-hybrid boys, non-hybrid men, along with girls and women would color their hair and style it to match that of male-hybrid boys and men because the male-hybrid hairstyle was so damn popular all over the UGC. Even the UGC President, who was not a hybrid, had his hair styled like a hybrid’s. Liam noticed that Stefan’s hair was starting to get a little long.

Oh I’m fine buddy. Just thinking about my interview with Tevin, that’s all. And your hair is getting a little long there, Liam informed his oldest child.

Oh okay. Just wanted to make sure you weren’t cracking up since you are usually running around the house in a frenzy getting ready for work. I’ve never seen you stop and just look out the LDC screen window like that. It looked strange seeing you do that, Stefan said as he and Liam watched a speed boat go by on the lake towing a water skier. Stefan then added, And yes I know I need a hair cut but I wanted to try a longer hairdo. Besides, Tammy likes it, Stefan said as he checked out his perfectly brushed hair in the slight reflection of himself in the large window.

Uh, Tammy eh? Who is that? Liam asked with a slightly raised eyebrow.

Oh, she’s my girlfriend, that’s all, Stefan admitted as he continued to tussle his hair while looking at his reflection.

What happened to Zachary? Liam asked with a smirk while trying not to burst into laughter at his hybrid son revealing SO much info about his continually changing love life. Stefan usually did not reveal squat about his dating exploits unless something slipped out.

Huh, um what? Oh dad, would you look at the time…., Stefan paused a split second to look at his watch, it’s 8:20. Don’t wanna be late for work and your historic interview with Tevin Evans, Stefan said nervously as he quickly turned and dashed out of his parent’s bedroom. Oh mom said to tell you breakfast would be ready in 15 minutes, Stefan added as he walked through his parent’s bedroom door.

Okay Stefan, Liam said with a smirk as he shook his head slightly in amazement. Trying to get info about Stefan’s love life was like pulling teeth from a pissed off and starving Great White shark. Liam and Jenny had given up talking to Stefan about the subject ever since he started puberty. Stefan had an advantage over non-hybrid boys as well as girls in that being a hybrid meant he could date boys, girls and other hybrid boys without repercussions such as being called gay or fag. Some hybrid boys only dated girls, some only boys, and some only other hybrids but dating only hybrids was tough since the population of hybrids was still fairly low not to mention the fact that hybrid boys and men were ridiculously handsome and popular.

That kid is something else. He was just talking about how much he loved his boyfriend Zach, now he is dating somebody named Tammy. Good grief, Liam complained as he headed to the private master bathroom he and his wife shared that was connected to their bedroom. Liam giggled as he thought about how many girlfriends and boyfriends Stefan went through in a year or maybe even a month or possibly a week. Liam, Jenny, their other two kids and the rest of the family were shocked that one of Stefan’s relationships actually lasted 3 months. The whole family was crushed when Stefan ended that relationship. Stefan claimed it was because he wasn’t comfortable with the relationship. Liam finished brushing his teeth, removed his pajamas, stepped in the shower and grabbed his power shaver. As Liam shaved he began to think about the miracle that brought his three kids into the world. But before Liam could recall the memories of his children’s births, the glass shower door seemed to open all by itself, scaring the living crap out of him. Liam jumped slightly and nearly dropped his shaver on the shower floor. Once Liam collected himself and swallowed his heart from his throat back to his chest, he looked down and realized his youngest son, Ricky, was the one who had snuck in and snatched open the door. Liam had been concentrating on shaving and had no idea Ricky had walked in the bathroom. It wasn’t the first time Ricky had snuck in and scared his father half to death and it probably wouldn’t be the last. Ricky was 5 years old and he was holding the glass door open while looking up at his daddy with the biggest grin. Ricky was also stark naked and just then Liam noticed Ricky’s pajamas strewn all over the bathroom floor in a seemingly strait line from the bathroom door to the shower. Ricky had obviously stripped on his way in. Liam was pissed for about a tenth of a second at being startled and now he couldn’t help but grin back at his son standing there without a shred of clothing looking cute as a button.

You scared me mister, Liam said with raised eyebrows.

Heh, sorry daddy, Can I take a shower with you, oh and good morning by the way, Ricky said with a giggle.

Well seeing as you’re already naked anyway silly, come on in. But this will have to be a quick shower because daddy’s running slightly late, okay? Liam warned as he tapped an interface control to turn on a shower head that was lower to the boy’s level.

Okey-doe-key, Ricky said with a grin as he hopped in the shower, shut the door and quickly reached up and grabbed the children’s size body wash sponge off of the stand in the shower that Liam and Jenny let Ricky keep in their shower for when he showered with them. Ricky placed the sponge under an auto soap dispenser that was recessed in the wall and within his reach. It dispensed a predetermined amount of soap.

Ricky showered with his parents frequently as did lots of other children with their parents. It was nothing new as children have been showering and bathing with their parents for eons, but there was a fairly new concept brought forward by Tevin and his spouse. Tevin and David had created what they liked to call family bath time. It was a pretty radical concept when Tevin and David came forward with the idea in the late 1990’s. Liam finished shaving and placed his laser power shaver in a small recessed holder in the dark cherry red and white marble tiled shower wall and grabbed his body sponge. Liam then placed the sponge and held it briefly under another recessed hole in the wall which held a computerized auto soap dispenser like the one Ricky had just used. The dispenser beeped once softly and automatically released a predetermined amount of soap onto the sponge. As Liam began washing his body, he glanced down at Ricky who was covered with soap from head to toe and was giggling at a children’s program he was watching on a 20 inch LDC screen which was built into the large glass panel, next to the shower door, that separated the shower from the rest of the bathroom. Liam hadn’t even noticed Ricky turn the LDC on. And because the entire glass panel was an LDC, images could be moved around all over the glass panel and could be made to encompass the entire panel, which was 8 feet wide, or a small 6 inch section. The LDC Ricky was watching was designed for shower use and could get wet without being damaged or damaging anyone in the shower. There were also 4 Hi-Fi speakers in the restroom for sound from the LDC system which were in opposite corners of the ceiling and covered by a hard plastic shroud to protect them from getting wet. The plastic had small holes to let sound pass through. Ricky was watching the program at his eye level and was squeezing his sponge and watching the soap fall to the shower floor.

Hey, make sure you wash between your butt crack mister and wash thoroughly. Your mother is tired of seeing streak marks on your underwear when she does laundry, Liam warned.

Ohhh man, o-kay daddy, Ricky said as he rolled his eyes and ran the purple and white soaped up sponge through his tiny butt crack. A small section on the white side of the sponge promptly turned brown from what Liam was sure was a small amount of poop from Ricky’s butt hole.

Oh Ricky, have you been wiping your butt hole after you do number 2? Liam asked irritated.

Uh, ah, kind of, Ricky said with a smirk trying to look cute because he knew his daddy was irritated with him.

Well either you did or you didn’t. There is no ‘kind of’ when it comes to wiping your butt young man, Liam said with a slight smirk and irritated tone.

I guess I sort of forgot when I dukied this morning. Sorry daddy, Ricky said slightly deflated.

Oh never mind. It’s okay little buddy. Just try to remember to wipe and let someone know when you have to poop so we can make sure you wipe good, okay? Liam instructed.

Okay daddy, Ricky said with a smile.

Good. Now turn around and squat, Liam instructed. Ricky did as he was told and spun around and stuck his rear end out slightly as Liam grabbed a personal shower sprayer that was attached to a hose and tapped a round touch sensitive surface on the back of the sprayer to turn it on. Liam leaned over, grabbed one of Ricky’s butt cheeks, spread it and directed a soft stream of soap and water at Ricky’s tiny butt hole. Ricky giggled.

That tickles daddy, Ricky said as he laughed. Just then, the shower door opened again and scared the crap out of Liam for the second time that morning. Liam nearly dropped the sprayer and the stream of soap and water shot up Ricky’s back and clipped him in the rear of the head. Ricky just laughed. Liam looked up to see Stefan smirking at him while poking his head in the shower.

Huh, Ricky forgot to wipe again, eh? Stefan asked with a grin.

Nah, the nasty feces you see me washing off your little brother’s butt hole is a figment of your imagination. I rather enjoy washing people’s butts. How about you? Liam asked with a grin and quite a bit of smarminess to his voice.

Uh, not so much, Stefan shot back with a grin before adding, humph, I don’t even like wiping my own butt, but I do it anyway. I have standards.

Oh okay. Just curious and besides if you don’t like wiping your ass, I can always hire people to do it for you, Your Highness, and was there something I could do for you and you nearly gave me a coronary when you opened the shower door, Liam said with a silliness to his tone while still washing Ricky’s nasty butt and glancing at Stefan occasionally.

I’ll think about the professional butt wipers and sorry I made you jump out of your skin. Mom was just wondering where Ricky disappeared off to. I’ll tell her you’re cleaning butt, Stefan said with a wry grin.

Why thank you and let her know I’ll be down to breakfast shortly.

Okay cool dad. See ya’ downstairs.

Okay then.

I’ll see you downstairs too, Mr. Nasty Booty, Stefan said to Ricky.

Likewise, Ricky shot back as his daddy finished rinsing his butt hole.

Okay mister, your hind quarters are fresh and clean, at least until the next time you have to poo. Wash your hair and rinse off. Here, you can use the soap and water sprayer, Liam instructed as he playfully smacked Ricky lightly on one of his ass cheeks.

Ouch, heh, okay daddy, Ricky giggled as he took the shower sprayer from Liam’s hand. As Ricky washed his dark red hair, Liam glanced up at the computer interface in the shower wall.

Computer, time? Liam asked. A synthesized male voice boomed out over the speakers without hesitation.

"Time is 8:28 AM and 20 seconds Local Mars Capital Time!" The current time was fairly good news. Liam wasn’t running too late. Liam quickly finished washing his light brown hair, rinsed and glanced down at Ricky who had just finished rinsing his hair, shut the sprayer off and handed it back to Liam. Liam quickly placed it back on its holder. Rather than give the computer the shower off command, Liam simply reached up and tapped a touch sensitive surface near the computer interface which was a control for all off. Both shower heads that Liam and Ricky were using, along with the LDC screen, shut off obediently. Ricky had been using a shower head that was lower to the floor and closer to his height. Liam turned it on for Ricky when he got in the shower. It was a family sized shower with several shower heads.

The family shower that Liam owned was rather large and could hold at least 12 people. All the shower heads were plated with gold mined on Mars which had been discovered by Tevin when he began flying around and exploring the solar system. It was an epic discovery of massive proportions. Every shower head could be turned on individually or all at once and there was a personal sprayer by each shower head. Some of the shower heads were lower than others to accommodate children. The large family shower Liam had wasn’t cheap and not every family could afford one and not every family necessarily wanted one. But the shower Liam owned was suitable for a small locker room and was one of the largest models available at 12 feet square. There were larger models available, some large enough for 20 people. The LDC screen system Liam’s shower had could display 12 different 20 inch views at one time although the sound from all 12 couldn’t be on at the same moment. Besides even if the sound from 12 different shows could be played at the same time, unless everyone had a separate ear piece which is not possible when showering, all that noise from 12 different shows would be nerve racking.

As soon as Liam shut the shower heads and the LDC off, he and Ricky quickly stepped out of the shower and into a large body air dryer system. The air dryer was also large enough for about 12 people and had enough air jets to dry everyone at once. The air jets were at every level from the floor up so little children wouldn’t have to be lifted up to be dried. There were several dryer nozzles embedded in the floor as well. Not everyone preferred to be dried by warm air as some people still used towels. Liam and Jenny kept towels in all the bathrooms in their house for decoration and for guests that did not like body air dryers. Liam and Jenny preferred the air dryers as it cut down on the amount of laundry that had to be done and the water used. With the air dryer and large shower, family sized whirlpool, 2 sinks, 2 vanities and toilet respectively, the master bath was huge, in some respects larger than some people’s living room and kitchen combined. When a person was completely dry, a sensor would detect this and shut off the dryers. As the dryer shut off, Liam and Ricky headed to get dressed.

Hey, don’t forget your pajamas on the floor there mister, Liam said to Ricky.

Okay daddy, Ricky said with a smirk as he dashed across the floor and snatched his pajamas up on his way out of the bathroom. Ricky then headed to his bedroom, while stark naked of course, with his pajamas balled up in his hands.

Don’t run Ricky, Liam warned as he followed Ricky out of the bathroom.

Oh, heh, sorry daddy, Ricky said as he slowed to a fast walk just as he crossed the door threshold to Liam’s bedroom.

Heh, that kid is something else, Liam said as he shook his head slightly. Liam then put on a pair of gold colored boxer-briefs, a white T-shirt, his maroon monogrammed bathrobe and headed down to breakfast.

CHAPTER 3

The pure white clouds, the deep blue sky and the brilliant main sequence star were all extremely beautiful as 12 year old Tevin Dakota Evans soared through the air in the skies of the planet Phaelon, 560 light years from Earth. Tevin closed his eyes as he flew, without wings or assistance of any kind. A freak accident on the playground had blessed Tevin with the gift of flight and he was enjoying every minute of it.

Wait a minute, I’m an adult now. How can I be 12 again? I’m getting ready to celebrate my 129th birthday on Mars. What am I doing back on Phaelon again? Tevin wondered aloud as he soared high over the ground on the planet Phaelon. Tevin had been flying by himself when he suddenly felt someone holding his right hand and flying beside him. Tevin shot a look to his right and looked into the eyes of a beautifully handsome boy he knew that appeared to also be 12. The boy had jet black semi-curly locks, bright hazel-blue eyes and was smiling at Tevin. But why was he smiling? It suddenly occurred to Tevin who the boy was; it was David, the boy he met just after the alien drone ship rescued Tevin from the lonely stretches of deep outer space nearly 250 billion miles from Earth. The drone ship took Tevin and David back to Phaelon to be studied and analyzed. Tevin still wasn’t completely sure how the hell he traveled 250 billion miles into space with NO memory of the trip. Tevin looked at David, who was still grinning broadly at him.

What are we doing back on Phaelon? And how are we 12 again? I thought we were on Mars? Tevin asked. Just then Tevin realized that he and David were……

What the heck? Why are we naked? What happened to my clothes, David? And I have 8 nipples. What the…? Tevin asked perplexed. David simply flew closer to Tevin and kissed him on the cheek. Tevin was shocked at first but then he immediately felt reassured by the kiss from ANOTHER BOY!?

Huh? Tevin thought confused.

Tevin sweetie, you’re dreaming. Wakey, wakey, baby! David said as he hugged Tevin. Suddenly the brilliant sunlit sky grew dark and POOF! Tevin was no longer flying and he felt himself lying in a bed on his back next to an adult 133 year old David, who like Tevin, did not look a day over 30. David had his arm around Tevin’s waist and was smiling broadly at him.

Good morning sweetie. You were dreaming and mumbling in your sleep, David informed Tevin Dakota Evans-Freemont. David then gave Tevin a kiss on the cheek as he hugged him.

Oh wow! I was dreaming. Man it seemed real, Tevin admitted.

They always do. So what were you dreaming about? David asked as he cuddled up next to Tevin and laid his head next to Tevin’s and nuzzled Tevin’s ear with his nose.

Huh, well you said I was mumbling so what do you think I was dreaming about baby cakes? Tevin asked with a grin while staring at the ceiling. David stopped nuzzling Tevin’s ear, leaned up on his right elbow and looked at Tevin with mock irritation before grinning slightly.

Okay smartass, you were mumbling something about Phaelon, the beautiful white clouds, your 129th birthday, being 12 again, being naked and wondering what happened to your clothes, wondering why you have 8 tits and why another boy is kissing you. So I conclude you were dreaming about when you and I flew around Phaelon years ago after Max the drone ship dropped us off at the Phaelonian research facility to be analyzed and studied where you saw me naked for the first time. Good thing I was unconscious in analysis mode or I would have been embarrassed. Anyway, that is probably why you were dreaming about being naked. How am I doin’ so far? David asked with a smirk.

Great. Keep going, Tevin commanded.

Good. You were also probably recalling the first time we kissed and your subsequent amazement at another boy kissing you on the lips. And as far as you mentioning your 8 tits, well I have no idea why you mumbled that AND you also may have been dreaming about being naked because you’re naked now, David informed his spouse of 100 plus years. It suddenly occurred to Tevin that he and David WERE stark naked. David began massaging one of Tevin’s 8 nipples.

And if I recall, I mumbled ‘nipples’ not the word ‘tits’ mister.

Yeah, yeah, I thought tits sounded better anyway. Wanna do it again? David asked as he began nuzzling Tevin’s ear again with his nose.

Uh, do what? Tevin asked innocently with a grin on his face while still looking at the ceiling. David stopped rubbing his nose against Tevin’s ear, then leaned up and looked at Tevin again with another wide grin.

You know what silly, you will never change. You’re just as smart mouthed today as the first day I met you and the time we rode all over Earth with Max in that bubble egg shaped silver drone ship.

You mean the Trimaxian Phaelonian Drone S234-X Temporal Displacement Drive equipped ship, Tevin added unnecessarily.

Affirmative, that’s the one baby. Man when you say all that it just makes me so hot, David said with a smarmy tone as he gave Tevin a kiss on the neck again.

Oh you mean the TPD S234-X TDE ship? Tevin asked with another grin in a smarmy tone. Before Tevin could blink again, David swung his left leg over Tevin’s legs, rolled on top of him and sat on his crotch while at the same time grabbing both of Tevin’s wrists. David then swung Tevin’s arms over and held them on the pillow behind his head. David then leaned in with a smirk on his face and held it mere inches from Tevin’s. David knew Tevin could easily push him off and toss him across the bedroom that was part of the hotel suite they were staying in at the downtown area of the Mars capital city of Ann Evans. Since David and Tevin loved to wrestle and roughhouse during their lovemaking sessions David knew Tevin, who was probably 200 times stronger than he was, would never toss him across a room, at least he hoped Tevin wouldn’t. Tevin gasped slightly and was startled from the sudden intimate assault of his loving spouse.

Ah! Whoa baby, what’s all this business about? And is that a large banana I feel against my crotch or are you horny to see me? Tevin said while starting to giggle uncontrollably as was David. Tevin seemed to have a gift for making David, their children and grandchildren laugh.

That ain’t no stinking banana, that’s a plantain smarty pants. They are much bigger than banana’s, David confirmed with a wide mischievous grin.

I see that and are we gonna lay here in bed and discuss tropical fruit or are you gonna peel that ‘plantain’ and get down to business? Tevin asked with mock irritation and a wide grin on his face. Tevin could feel himself quickly getting aroused.

Do you want your ‘plantain’ fried or baked? David asked as he gave Tevin a peck on the lips.

Surprise me Davy Baby. Davy Baby was one of the many pet names Tevin called David. David had just as many pet names for Tevin.

Compliance, David said in a tone that mocked the computerized voice of the drone ship David and Tevin called Max. David then released Tevin’s wrists, wrapped his left arm around Tevin’s shoulder, leaned in all the way and kissed him passionately while running the fingers of his right hand through Tevin’s wavy hair. Tevin then brought his arms around and placed both hands on David’s butt cheeks and massaged them lovingly. Tevin then brought his left hand up and ran it through David’s hair. Tevin then released David’s other butt cheek and brought his right hand slowly up and messaged David’s back. Tevin then released a short wave of pure white electrical energy from his hand into David’s body as he
