Troy had no idea about the Roosters 136-point thrashing from the Crocodiles as Gary steered the boat back through the heads and into the now choppy waters around the Spit. Dolphins could be seen swimming ahead of the boat, ducks, black swans and pelicans were on the water and a helicopter flew overhead on one of the last joy flights of the day, but Troy was not paying attention to the helicopter, water birds or dolphins either.
Troy was leaning over the side of the boat, retching and nauseous but not actually throwing up at this stage. Finally he did bring up a mouthful of water as a boat full of mainly Chinese tourists enjoying a late afternoon cruise along the Nerang River and into the Broadwater passed by, some of the tourists taking photographs and videos of the skinny red-haired young man throwing up over the side of a cabin cruiser.
Feeling less queasy, Troy straightened up, seeing Doug Mitchell standing right behind him.
"You okay, Richie?" the concerned father/doctor asked.
Troy smiled and tried to act casual. "Yeah, um thanks Dad, I um, just felt a bit seasick, you know I used to get seasick and carsick all the time when I was a kid."
This wasn't a lie. Troy and his siblings were all very prone to carsickness and seasickness as kids which made long car trips and maritime excursions with Kaley, Troy and Justin a logistical nightmare for Jim and Barbara Turner. One time Kaley hadn't been able to reach her sick bag in time so vomited all over younger brother Troy sitting in the middle, while Justin thought this so funny he laughed so hard he like his older sister had thrown up all over Troy. And already nauseous and covered in both siblings' sick, there was only one inevitable outcome for Troy which splattered all over the back floor of the car. Fortunately though, the siblings had all outgrown this as they got older but maybe Troy was again experiencing these problems as a one-off?
"No," said Doug firmly. "Richie you have never been seasick or carsick once in your life. Your sister, yes, Dakota used to have problems like that when she was a kid until she outgrew them." Doug sighed, remembering how his daughter had thrown up all down his back when she was a little girl and got seasick while on a ferry in the calm waters of the Brisbane River of all places. "But you never once."
"Sorry I um, must have remembered wrong," said Troy. He grinned at Doug attempting to reassure Richie's dad, but did anything but.
Also unconvinced were Gary and Bob, who had watched in amazement as Troy got seasick. "I don't know what is wrong with that nephew of mine today," Gary complained to his father.
"It I didn't know better I would swear that boy was on drugs," grumbled Bob.
Relieved to reach dry land when the boat docked at the marina, Troy immediately felt better back on dry land. Jack, seeing that his cousin seemed to be having a bad day, decided to try and get Richie back on track.
"So Richie, I bet you're looking forward to the Sci-Fi Convention down at Broadbeach in two weeks?" Jack asked as they walked back to the car, he and Richie and their friends attending every year. "I haven't seen Chad and Lachlan for a while, it will be good to catch up with them."
"The Sci-Fi Convention?" Troy stared blankly back at Jack, not knowing what Richie's cousin was talking about.
The increasingly confused Jack said, "The Science Fiction Convention. We go every year."
Troy tried to act casually, and let out an unconvincing laugh. "The Sci-Fi convention, of course, I forgot."
Jack raised his eyebrows. "You messaged me about it on Thursday morning."
"I did? Oh that's right, I did."
"Remember we're all dressing in Star Wars costumes this year," said Jack. "You hadn't forgotten that too?"
"No, haven't forgotten that, definitely remember the Star Wars costumes, I love Star Wars, can't get enough Star Wars." Troy thought it best that he described Star Wars to Jack to convince him, but as soon as Troy did this Jack immediately picked up that Troy was describing another science fiction franchise similar in name.
"No Richie, that's Star Trek, not Star Wars," said Jack.
Troy stopped dead, pondered his mistake, and smiled, pretending he was joking. "Yeah, that's right, I fooled you."
But Troy had not fooled the far-from-convinced Jack, far from it. Jack, a straight-A student at high school and now acing his first semester at university, had the same high levels of intelligence that ran through the Mitchell family and was pretty astute but could not work out what was wrong with his cousin this weekend. Had he hit his head sometime during this week and been suffering from amnesia?
"So um, is Ashley coming to the convention with us?" asked Troy.
"Ashley? Since when does my sister ever like science fiction and fantasy?' Jack asked. "She's a typical accountant, she only likes non-fiction. She didn't even like Harry Potter. You'd have more chance of getting Dakota to come along."
Troy was most confused. "But Ashley isn't an accountant. She goes to high school."
"Right," said Jack. "She goes to high school now, but she wants to go to university and become an accountant."
"I thought she wanted to be a ballerina?"
"Yes, Ashley loves ballet," Jack explained patiently, again wondering why his cousin was asking him about things he already knew. "But she can't just be a ballerina, it's very hard to make it in professional ballet, so she needs a qualification and she likes accounting."
"Oh," said Troy. He had never understood debits and credits and everything associated with them, so was puzzled about why Ashley would want to go to university and learn about them, but each to their own.
"So, did you watch the Game of Thrones marathon last night?" Jack asked conversationally as they reached the car.
Jack had no idea what he had let himself in for by this one simple question, but soon found out. The drive home from the marina wasn't long, but Jack -- along with his father, uncle and grandfather -- soon felt like they were driving to Townsville or Cairns as Troy talked and talked and talked without drawing breath about his new favorite television show. But like with Chad and Lachlan the night before, Jack sensed that Richie -- or who he perceived as Richie -- had no actual concept of the show, despite his enthusiasm for it and having watched it for years.
Cheryl Mitchell, who had been sitting in the kitchen talking with her mother-in-law, went to greet the five guys as they returned to the house. "Did you have a nice day on the boat?" she enquired.
"Yes, it was very interesting," said Gary, casting a critical and quizzical look at his 'nephew'.
People dispersed to different parts of the house, leaving Troy alone in the living room. He had a look around the unfamiliar house, which was an unusual design. It wasn't a true double story house, but the living room had a mezzanine floor which seemed to house the family's home reference library. Not much one for books, Troy did not mount the staircase to investigate further but decided to look at a collection of family photographs on the adjacent shelves.
