"I knew my new partnership with my new beach-volleyball friend (whom I met while flying to Europe during a Summer-season NFL-market fun thing involving an invitation to Spain for my fave-team for which I'd procured special organization-insider tickets/passes for fan watch things of year-'26) would yield something cool for a Summer beach-volleyball thing...and I wasn't wrong. I'd become a male fan of beach-volleyball through actual play and video-game stuff as a kid; and my new beach-volleyball lady-friend whom I met in Spain (Shelley) was a nut for the sport for social commentary 'stuff' (Facebook-like)."

SHELLEY: MY little bro was fan of Nintendo's (beach) volleyball games.

ME: Good.

SHELLEY: You're real sport-groomed for things beach and swift, beau.

ME: Thanx.

SHELLEY: We're co-athletes and now in courtship for Spanish rice, ha.

ME: Cool.

SHELLEY: Beach volleyball's unique, man...invites feeling of Sun's know, no?

ME: Selfie-like.

"Shelley/I had decided to get a classic video-game system online and started enjoying our romantic/athletic Summer-time in Spain during my fave-NFL team's visit for seasons-marketing/competition media flowery 'thing' on Earth and enjoyed why the cyber-rendition of that iconic Blue Planet game of sand and swiftness and Selfie-composure/balance and ball launch/contact organization psychic-sense was quite as fun as the real thing (ha). I felt like I had it all that Spanish Summer...until Shelley's revelation (for doubt)."

SHELLEY: I'm from Mars, fool.

ME: What?
SHELLEY: I'm here for a Blue Planet research project, involving sports and love.

ME: What?
SHELLEY: I've become a fan of (beach) volleyball, Pho, and Spain (like you!).

ME: What?
SHELLEY: If humans prove sovereign-colored, I'll conclude a non-invasion policy.

ME: What?
SHELLEY: You're the little-prince diplomat of my Earth-sovereignty design study.

ME: What?
SHELLEY: You're doing beautifully (with me), human man...so don't fret much, ok?

ME: What?
SHELLEY: Let's enjoy this Pho, complete the Summer, and I'll give you a duty!

ME: What?
SHELLEY: I've concluded Earthlings are colored sufficiently for privacy/freedom.

ME: What?
SHELLEY: You'll write a time-capsule story and bury it...about our love/Summer.

ME: What?
SHELLEY: Trust me, human man...future archaeologists shall find it...for fantasy.

ME: What?
SHELLEY: Facebook-like (for glass).
