The next day, Bobby asked when he could begin therapy. Dr. Cheyenne looked at his sutures. "In a week. You need to heal first." The painkillers again kicked in. Bobby woke up again. "Andriana?" "Hoplitia[HOPLISHA]her older sister."
"She's on guard duty. I came to thank you. You turned the tide of the battle of that day." The female hoplite kissed him. "Thank you. I hope one day to be a good husband to an Amazon Hoplite. I've seen the goodness of your people." Bobby responded.
She hugged him. "You will." "Promise me one thing." "Yes." "You will train any son or daughter you bear to fight in your style/ Again the statuesque woman kissed him. "I hate for people not to able to defend themselves realistically." Bobby replied.
She then told him of all the battles she had fought in. "My mother, Antea[ANTAYA], was impressed by your courage. She'll be by later." Hoplitia left. She prayed silently to Christ that Bobby could achieve his goals. Bobby again dozed off.
Antea greeted him. "And so you like my daughters?" "Yes. They are good, kind, strong and brave." "As you are. But several other non-Amazonian girls have expressed interest in you, Bobby." "Are they of the Tennessee Federal Guard? The New Kentucky Rangers? The Tekkers?"
"No." "Oh dear." Bobby then paused. "I don't know that much about how Maximus's people, treat their
women at South Athens." Antea grimaced. She knew what was coming. "South Athenians donot allow their women to be warriors or hunters."
"Then I wouldn't fit in. They are too weak. The society that does not act to fully protect its members cannot endure long term." "You do realize Maximus is South Athenian Royalty?" "Why do I have a dark feeling that this will end badly?"
"Oh, Bobby. You are all heart." Then Bobby conked out again as the pain medicine conked him out.

'Postcalyptica'-Chapter 8:
Three days later, Bobby was working the parallel bars in therapy. "That's one lap." Bobby did ten laps. "I need a break." "Indeed you do." smiled Dr. Cheyenne Braxton. He drank some water. "Got to watch the energy drinks, even sugar free." "True that."
"I issue sugar free energy drinks as needed but also at special occasions. I'd like to throw a bash
for Andriana and the Amazons that stood alongside me." "Why that's good." Bobby then did 5 more laps before calling it a day.
Andriana met him at his hospital bed. She hugged him. "You are sweet on me." "Yes. I want a queen to reign and fight at my side as my equal." "Bobby that is a tall order." "And a woman like you can fill
it." Andriana kissed him. "Oh, Bobby."
Silently, she liked Bobby. But he was younger than her. Then she asked, "Bobby, how old are you?" "Eleven." "I'm 17." Under Amazonian law, you could marry at 12, and she was no creep. Then she decided. If he still wanted her at 12, she'd marry him.
Hoplitia and some of the other Amazons were already talking about Bobby was prime marriage material, But Hoplitia was 20, Helene was 21, Ariana was 22, Irene was 19, and Hippolyta was 18, All accomplished female classical hoplites whom all wanted to bear children to raise more hoplites.
A complication was that Maximus and Tunika wanted to adopt Bobby, But Bobby was shy of
South Athens. Tiberius had been talking of adopting him and sending him to New Philippi, The more egalitarian society might fit him better, Paula and Myra were two female classical hoplites she was friends with there, too.
'Postcalyptica'-Chapter 9:
Hoplitia, Ariana, Aurora, Helene, Irene, and Hippolyta. all stopped by Bobby's bedside after his therapy session. They all all told him of all the battles they had been in. "I hope to marry an Amazon hoplite like one of you." " Aurora kissed him and held him.
"But that may not be your path in life." Aurora soothed him. "There are several girls who want you, but they are not of out persuasion." "Are any of them like the Tekkers, the New Kentucky Rangers, or hunters?" "No." "Not interested."
As if on command, three girls entered. Bobby talked to them. Two were built like goddesses, the other was at least a beauty. It was Tiny that revealed their true nature. "I hate dogs." snarled Maria, a flaming redhead as she saw Bobby petting the chihuahua mix. "There's the door." Maria stormed out. Sarah
was next,.
"Thank you, but our interests don't match." said Bobby. "We are good." the black haired girl left. All that was left was Rebecca. They talked. The brown haired girl petted on Tiny. "Cute little thing." "Indeed." They talked some more. Rebecca decided. "I guess you don't like me romantically." "As a friend, yes; but not like that,"
Rebecca left. Andriana then shifted out. Bobby's literally beamed with joy. "My heart!" Bobby melted into her arms. Andriana smiled and kissed him. Bobby then had to take a pain pill and dozed off. Andriana tucked him in and kissed him again.
The seven Amazonian classical hoplites then talked among themselves.
