Dragon Story Episodes
A Rolly-Polly Halloween
Our story today tells of Maritimus,
choir owner, dragon, and avid
socialite. With Halloween
approaching, he finds
himself ever so busy!
The choir needs preparing, of course,
but so do costumes, treats, and
decorations! It's enough to make
a big, fluffy head burst!
While he hurries to and fro,
he finds himself growing frazzled.
"If only there were three more of me!"
he says, and the words echo into
the night. But wait... What's that?
Something rolls forth from the dark.
Closer, closer... Wait, it's going
to crash right through the window!
The intruder is fluffy, it's lumpy,
it's got no spatial awareness—
and it CRASHES right into Maritimus
with a heavily padded thud.
"What in the world is going on?!"
says Maritimus. "...Oh. It's you three!"
Suddenly, the fluffy lump grows
a gaggle of arms and legs—
and then splits into three tiny
versions of Maritimus! They strike
a practiced pose in greeting.
"You're the famously helpful
Trouble Trio," Maritimus says,
and he's right. The Trio's
problem-solving exploits
are known far and wide.
"We're here to help with Halloween!"
the Trio says together. They strike a
pose befitting a hero, and what a
perfect pose it is.
And so the Halloween prep begins!
Cookie cutting, candy wrapping,
and perhaps the odd marshmallow
gone missing. Shhh, don't tell!
Together, Maritimus and the
Trouble Trio manage to knock
out each and every task! Yaaay!
Finally Halloween arrives,
and Maritimus dresses up as a
magician, all stylish and cool.
He sets off for town alongside
the Trio, loaded up with treats!
The townsfolk have been waiting,
and they flock around Maritimus
when he arrives. What a superbly
popular fellow he is!
"I hope you all have the most
super-duper-happiest of Halloweens!"
says Maritimus, one big smile.
But what's this? What's going on?!
When we last left our tale,
Maritimus had just arrived
in town with the Trouble Trio.
But then, disaster! Our fluffy
white friend finds himself
facing the unthinkable!
Ah, but we'll get there soon...
Arriving in town beside Maritimus,
the Trouble Trio are a massive hit!
Cries of "CUUUTE!" "OMG!"
and "Daddy, I want one!"
follow wherever they go.
Naturally, the Trio are eating it up.
They strike an adorable pose,
and hand out even more treats.
Seriously, they are so. CUTE!
The people are in a tizzy, fawning
over the Trouble Trio to no end.
Meanwhile, Maritimus is left alone...
You see, Maritimus cares very
much about his standing in town.
He has worked long and hard to
gain the favor of the townsfolk.
But though the people circled around
him only moments before, now he is
outside the circle completely...
And at that moment, he left.
In the dark of the church,
he curled into the tightest
ball he could, and let
sadness wash over him.
But just as he did, the room filled
with light. "Mariti, what are you
doing here?" a voice asked.
Timidly, Maritimus raised his head.
To his surprise, he saw everyone
from town, looking oh so worried.
"But...I thought you all didn't
need me anymore?"
"Never!" one man said. "What
would life be like without you?"
Everyone nodded in agreement,
and broke into a run. They dove
right into the dragon's big fluffy body!
On and on they piled, adults
and children and pets—even
the Trouble Trio joined in!
Nobody could do anything but smile,
such was the atmosphere in the hall.
And all thanks to Maritimus,
the biggest, fluffiest, huggiest
friend of all!
Together with the Trouble Trio
he rolled around with glee,
and wished everyone a happy,
rolly-polly Halloween!
