“So I guess your mission wasn’t successful, dude.”
“Mission?”
“Well, dude, I don’t exactly see an auburn-haired dragon queen on your arm or nothin’. I thought you were gonna go rescue her.”
“She never responded, dude! Talkin’ to her was like talkin’ to a picture on the Internet or somethin’.”
“Gee, dude, y’reckon? At least you got a story to tell about her? In 140 characters or less?”
“Of course, dude …
‘My lord? I know Her Majesty is pregnant, and the physicians spoke of her care during her confinement, but this is ridiculous!‘
How’s that?”
“Eh.”
“And you can do better?”
“Does a bear …”
“Just tell the story, dude.”
“Bow down to this, then, dude …
‘Sire? Is this really the Fortunato who was looking for the cask of Amontillado?'”
“Amontiwhat?”
“Amontillado. Don’t tell me you’ve never heard of it?”
“Alright, dude, I won’t. But it sounds like only half the story. Isn’t there a buck to go along with this doe?”
“Dude, that’s po’.”
“Sounds to me like you’re the po’ dude, dude.”
Don’t go disparaging the po’ or the Poe. I prefer, “The Tell Tale Heart.”
Actually, my love, I prefer happy endings — like the one I gave my princess!
:*
I was fascinated with your story, Dude!
Good job!
The first is my fave. There have been a lot of mean kings, so it is nice to see one who cares, even if he’s going overboard!
I enjoyed reading your story. Caught my interest right away.
Confinement. I love it. LOL

Oh my goodness–the poor princess and her ‘confinement’…I hope she survives until the baby arrives!
Love the way you blend the story into bantering between 2 friends. Have a great week. Cheers!
made me laugh out loud 🙂 (thank God for the Internet–i teach high school English every day, and when i make jokes such as yours they look at me like i’ve lost it)
So funny! You’re both awesome, dudes.
