Ty knew that his mother had been a fangirl of the Lost in Space TV series in the 1960s.
She still went to Sci Fi conventions dressed as Penny.
So Ty changed Dustin back into himself again,and left
his brother sleeping where he lay.
So Ty quietly tiptoed out of the living room
where his mother intensely studied the ads
for another Sci Fi con coming up 3 months hence.
Down in the basement he could hear his dad and Mr Willby theneighbour putting together
their latest robotic martini stirrer.
He tiptoed past the door to that basement workshop and headed upstairs to his mothers private study.
The walls were lined with posters from Lost in Space
and along the wall stood mannequins of
all the characters,including Robot.
There was however no mannequinof Penny Robinson.
Ty studied the models on the sheves of Jupiter 1,various model figures
of friends and foe in that show,then concentrated and made his wish.
He reopenned his eyes to a girls shriek down below the throbbing decks of the
flying saucer,his mother,June.transformed in body and outfit into
Penny Robinson,but obviously not
in mind.
The Jupiters alarm klaxxons were going off wildly and from the shouts down in the engine room Ty guessed the brought to live mannequins had discovered Mr Cleaver and Mr Willby aboard.
Ty giggled and started to sneak away
when he felt a tap on his shoulders.
He turned around,to stare into the face of
Mr Smith,and beside the evil character Will Robinson,frowning.had
a laser pistol poiinting at Ty.
"Hold him Robot" shouted Will,and Robot seized a startled Ty in pincers that could
crush a helmet like it was made of eggshell
and hoisted up the intruder...."
