Her voice was a lot like Sunny’s (he’d given her a copy of his, since Father had forgotten to built all the functions necessary for speech into her) except with adjusted harmonics, making her sound more feminine. Then he hastily broke the seal and unfolded the letter, quickly reading through it. Sunny and Moony watched as he took the letter, looking at the sender. If the girl wanted to hurt him, it could already have done so. “Just read it and give me your reply, and I’ll go away!”įather relaxed – slightly. “Here, all I wanted to give ya was this letter, you crazy person!” she groused. An old-fashioned letter with a golden wax seal. Sunny and Moony cried out for their Father to drop the force field, but he just stood there, shocked, as she drew out… a letter. Having effectively flipped into safety and landed on her feet, the girl reached into a pouch that was attached to her belt. “I’m just a messenger!” she cried as she flipped off the bench, vanishing and reappearing within Father’s force-field with the same spin. “Oy, hold your horses, Mister!” she shouted with a heavy accent that his linguistic engine placed as French Canadian. She reappeared at the other end of the workbench, looking exasperated. He barely got a good look at the stranger – a teenage girl, slender with short, messy gold-blonde hair and green-blue eyes, wearing a grey-blue jacket over a white shirt with a matching tie and short pants that barely reached halfway down her thighs, topped by an old fashioned winged hat – before she kicked her (bare) feet and vanished, barely evading the four beams of focused light. Two of them projected force-fields around Father, and around Sunny and Moony even as the others opened fire on the intruder.

Sunny and Moony – neither of whom was built for combat – simply dropped down to the floor as six turrets folded out of the ceiling. “Hi!” she greeted as she stretched her legs.įather pushed himself away on his rolling chair, shouting “D-03!”

Thanks to the crowd, they made me win today,' said Sindhu after the final.Sunny was cleaning the base together with Moony (he’d been allowed to choose her name!) while Father was tinkering with a new module for his armor when, suddenly, there was a girl in the room, sitting on one of the few empty spaces on father’s workbench. 'I had been waiting for this gold for a long time and finally I have got it. The crowd sensed a comeback from Michelle who won the longest rally of the match with a forehand winner. Sindhu however shut the door on her and completed a fine win with a cross court winner. The Hyderabadi took a 4-2 lead in the second with a brilliant retrieve off her body and was cruising 11-6 at the interval. Michelle did come up with two consecutive backhand winners for 14-17 but Sindhu bagged the first game with a swat shot on the Candian's body. Michelle then netted a regulation forehand drop, leaving her smiling in frustration. Sindhu took three straight points after the interval to stretch her lead to 14-8. In the first game, Michelle was trying to get points by playing close to the net while Sindhu was the more attacking one.Ī smash on Li's left made it 7-5 before the Canadian came with a drop shot on Sindhu's right to make it 7-6. Michelle had beaten the 2019 World Champion way back in the Glasgow Commonwealth Games in 2014. Sindhu was clinical in her short game and pounced on the slightest of attacking opportunities.

The 30-year-old had to produce something special for her first win against Sindhu in eight years but the Indian did not give her a window. The world number seven from India outplayed her 13th ranked opponent 21-15, 21-13 in front of a packed crowd at the NEC arena. India's sporting icon P V Sindhu added a Commonwealth Singles gold to her wide array of medals with a convincing straight-game win over Canada's Michelle Li in the final on Monday.
