The forgotten watch in the trash

Pa 50 % went for a discovery walk around the trash in Central Spark and discovered something shimmering in there.

Pa 50 %: Look! Something is shining in the trash here! A watch! It looks old and forgotten.

Po 60 %: I believe it can be good material to collect here and we can restore it to glam!

Pa 50 %: I think we can do it just halfway because of damage.

Suddenly a real gang of divas passed by and laughed. They presented themselves as the richest people living in the real New York. It was Began Sparkle, Ratie Palms and Mohan Apple. The most famous on the most world-famous social media channels.

Began Sparkle: who are you? You look like a disaster from ancient Greece. You know me, Ratie and Mohan knows how to sparkle daily. You smell bad here!

Then Pi 95 % got very angry and said: you seem very predictable. I know the oldest woman in the world who can laugh at her crocked little toe! Admit it scares you huh!? Me and my sisters here are going to create things from the underground, and we are proud over it. You seem to be stressed. What happens in your world?

Began Sparkle: ha-ha, you know I have my personal professional stylist every day from the minute I wake up until I go to bed. Then I also have my personal trainer with photographer. I have billions of followers in the digital world. I am super rich and don’t need to care about your disgusting stuff here or anybody. I am world famous and have the silkiest skin and hair you can ever imagine. What the hell are you doing here in the Ghetto? The glam is not here.

Ratie Palms: I see you have sandwich food in your bags. They smell disgusting! Have you ever been to my restaurants daily where you get the most glamourous food for 6000 dollars per person. You need to be dressed in dresses for 200 million dollar to get in. They will throw you out from restaurant if you look like you do!

Mohan Apple: I am super famous for being the most riches technology woman in the Silcon V. I will call on my guards because you make this place worse with how you look. You need to dress up and become rich! You are not working as hard as me, Ratie och Began. Haha. No AI will find you here.

Po 60 %: I am very glad to not be in your glam…, because I find it boring you know… I can be your disgusting shit instead and just be free. We have a secret plan here, so we don’t need you. I know around 40 % what you say are in your own dictionary in the area you live in and 60 % represents your business with yourself!

Ratie Palms: I have been nominated in Cannes recently and my bodyguard to. We are very famous there also for our outfit. What you wear looks like you are homeless. You are poor. To make it to the top you cant be lazy!

Pa 50 %: Stop! I have a home for 50 % and 50 % is on our secret creations here in the underground world so shut up!

Mohans personal digital driver came and picked up her, Ratie and Began. The bodyguard also came with glamour outfit and right hair style for this season.

Pu 50 %: finally, they are gone. I have never seen a bodyguard and digital car being so close to me. They laughed at us in the car as well.

Pi 95 %: I don’t care… they are so boring. I don’t mind being free from being controlled by staff just to be able to be someone. I rather do this! We are building our new cities from the underground and new avenues. How about name this place to “Watch Avenue” and let this watch be our guide? Remember that I have 5 % unconscious parts of me you need to help me fill it. Will you help med with that?

Po and Pu: of course, we will! You need also to help us with the rest of our % so we can build our avenues from the bottom to the top! They can keep their panic channel for themselves because we have more important things to do now my sisters!

Po 60 %: you know those old forgotten school buildings… we can create places to live in there and some sort of rollercoaster there. I have painted how it can look like here.. we will build up a big gym for people who are lost in crimes… we will create also a farmhouse for lost boys and men who think crime is the rhyme… it will be some sort of underground with program all day. Criminal small boys will learn how to build stuff instead. You know we can cooperate with the police and we can also support children who don’t know what a parent is. This watch avenue will have this magic watch! It will be in all media stations only for those who live in the underground. It will be the guide they need with mission to cocreate this avenue.

Pi and Pu: Yes! We are in!
