“I dunno about that Dream,” said Hatman skeptically as he looked at the brown harness CrazySugarFreakBoy! had presented him. “C’mon, how cool would it be for me, dressed in my oh-so-studly He-Man attire, to ride up on the back of my faithful partner Battlecat!” CSFB! beamed. “Especially when Battlecat is actually my bestest buddy and naturally my best man!” He was swinging his Power Sword about the room as Hatman went over costume choices. “It would be kind of cool,” agreed Hatman. “But such a radical physical transformation for the length of time I’d have to hold the form would exhaust me even before I could give my best man’s speech at the reception.” Hatman thought for a moment. “Plus I get a pretty sore back whenever I become a quadruped.” “You could take the harness off once we’re at the altar,” suggested Dream as he phantom-dueled. “Though it would be awesome if you were Cringer and Battlecat all in one!” “And spend the whole ceremony terrified that the flowers are going to jump me? No thanks.” Hatman moved on to the next costume laid out on the table. He hefted the large silver helmet and placed it on his head. “What do you think?” “Well, I don’t know if you have the legs for-Hey, watch it!” cried Dream as he bounced out of Hatman’s way as he flew across the room only to impact with shattering force against the wall. Hatman slumped against the wall and dragged the helmet from his head. “Sorry, there was a fly on the wall that needed swatting,” he said sheepishly as he rubbed his neck. “Okay, so Ram Man is out,” declared CSFB! as he hopped over to Hatman to help him regain his feet. “How about Mekaneck?” “Do I need to dignify that with a response?” Hatman walked back over to the costumes laid out. “Moss Man is also definitely out. I think I’d take up a little too much room as Granamyr…” Hatman mused as he eyed the black helmet worn by the oldest of dragons. “We don’t have to stay limited to He-Man, y’know,” pointed out CSFB!. “My sister is coming as She-Ra! You could be, I dunno, Bow or something.” “I think I’ll pass on that one.” Of all the archers he could possibly dress up as Bow was definitely towards the bottom of the list. “Maybe we could convince Trickshot,” Dream pondered aloud. “Because I’m sure you could convince our Mr. Bastion to run around with a big red heart on his chest, “ snorted Jay. “But anyway,” said Dream, surprisingly bringing the conversation back to the primary topic, “Everyone is free to wear whatever they want, and that includes you Hatster. You don’t have to dress in the He-Man style if you don’t want to.” “No, if the rest of the wedding party is going to be dressed in He-Man attire, then I think I should be too.” He carefully considered the remaining helmets, crowns, and hats before selecting one and placing it on his head. “What do you think?” A huge grin split CrazySugarFreakBoy!’s face. “Perfect!” To be continued…  |
