There weren’t always dragons in the Valley.

Cleo missed her mother that she created a Robot named , “MOM”. Cleo’s mom, Sonia went on a spaceship ride to planet Fulton , it took the spaceship 2 months to get there . Cleo’s mom plan on staying on planet Fulton for two months, that’s one year earth time. Cleo always lived with her mother even when she went to college and took up Engineering. Cleo owns a company name Robotism. Cleo created servant robots for the wealthy. She used her special 3D copier computer to create robots in three minutes. Technology comes a long way. Cleo invented a 3D computer that recycle garbage into anything. Planet Earth have garbage shortage due to these 3D computers. They can’t keep up with demands of consumers. People are charging for taking their garbage. One bag of garbage is $100.00. (Planet earth is no longer polluted 2067)

The most outrageous 3D robot the copier made was a robotic, Dragon .Cleo collect dragon figurines, it was no surprise when she created dragon robots.The dragon robots can fly and breath fire. Cleo had flashbacks of her camping trip with her mom . She used the dragon robot to cook their meals. The Shanghai eggroll tasted better when the dragon robot cooked it, surprisingly.

****

The best way to describe planet Fulton is colorful. The planet Fulton will remind you of the movie, Avatar made in 2009. In order for Cleo’s mom to breath in that planet , she had a chip transplanted in her lung. ( It’s a removable chip) The planet Fulton smell like cotton candy. Everyone who want to go to Planet Fulton goes there to relax. It’s hard to relax on planet earth cause everyone is busy making a living. Cleo’s mom just married Fultonian that’s why she plan to stay there for a year. Sonia is going there to visit her in-laws. It’s Exotic to marry blue Fultonians. Sonia’s husband real Fultonian name is €£¥§~, translation Carl in earth language.

Sonia is always traveling out of space . Sonia have visit 12 planets total. She never stay away for more than two days. Sonia never used the Space ship transportation until now. She used the Planets teleportation. It takes a few minutes to get to any planet that’s safe for human to visit. It’s more expensive than the spaceship. She met Carl when she got lost on Planet Voltexa. It was love at first sight. She would describe the sex, mind blowing. It takes two days to get back to normal, earthling wise.

Let’s get back to Cleo’s “Mom” Robot. It’s been three days and Cleo have not heard from her real mom. Cleo went to her Company and started to create “Mom” with her 3 D computer. It took 5 garbage bags to create “Mom”. Long ago people save there sperms or eggs at a bank. 2050 people start saving their DNA and memories in these special bank. The Chip is called DM Chips. Cleo place the DM chip in the “Mom” robot memory storage compartment. “Mom” talk and sounds just like Sonia. She looks and dress like Sonia. The only way you know “Mom” is a Robot by the inner wrist barcode numbers on her left hand. You cannot erase or remove the barcode numbers.

Cleo fond memory of her mother is making Lumpia Shanghai. It’s her family tradition to make Lumpia Shanghai. Every holidays, birthdays and family Reunions Cleo and her mom made Lumpia Shanghai. Today is Sonia’s birthday .The first time Cleo will celebrate Sonia’s birthday without her.”Mom” came in the kitchen asking Cleo, why she did not make her breakfast in bed. Cleo laugh and said “ Because Robots don’t have taste and don’t eat people food, silly.” “Mom” said, “So?”

Cleo respond, “ I don’t want to waste food”

“ Mom” said, “ Understood. So what do you want to do today daughter?”

Cleo respond “ Let’s make Lumpia Shanghai.”

“Mom”: “of course, should have know you would want to do that.”

Cleo: “ shall we start”

“Mom”: “ let me gather all the ingredients .”

“Mom” robot place all the ingredients on top of the kitchen counter. The style of the kitchen high tech Rectro. “Mom” and Cleo reminisce about the times they cooked Lumpia Shanghai, forgot ingredients or put extra ingredients. “Mom” and Cleo laugh the whole time. It was time to deep fry the Lumpia Shanghai. It took 20 minutes to cook 20 Lumpia Shanghai. Cleo tasted the Lumpia Shanghai, it was delicious as ever, just like how her real mom would have cook it. Cleo like to dip it in duck sauce and Sonia like to dip it in home made sweet and sour sauce. Cleo called over three of her favorite cousins, Justine, Jayla and Santeria.

Justine, Jayla and Santeria arrived and give Cleo and “Mom” a kiss. They notice after giving “ Mom” a kiss the she was not their real auntie Sonia. The three asked at the same time, where is Auntie Sonia? I told them she went on her honeymoon with their Uncle Carl. They met Carl at the extra eccentric wedding of the century. They could not wait to dig in to the Lumpia Shanghai, that tasted just like their auntie ‘s Lumpia to a T.

I hope you will try to make my Family Tradition Lumpia Shanghai. It has always been the most loved dish at any gathering. There will be no leftovers either no matter how much you make. Guarantee...

This is my most Outrageous Story, I ever made. I wrote this right when I got home from work. Enjoy..

Bon Appetit❤️

I Dedicate this to my late mom dearest Josefina Libuit.
