An Epic Musical

    It's not often I have a dream that I'm not actually a part of, but this is one of those occasions.  This is also the only dream I have ever had that was a musical; the songs were originals as far as I could tell.  Sadly, I only remember bits and pieces of the actual songs, but I'll include them anyway.  The curtain rises...

    It was a world full of castles and princesses, knights and battles, magic and fish weapons, the greatest kingdom of all housed the most beautiful of princesses and every man wished for her hand in marriage.  But only one captured her heart; yet law decreed they would never be together.  So Lady Robbin and her knight, Sir Baskin, would meet at their secret place behind ancient stones bathed in moonlight.  There they sang sorrowful songs of their forbidden love and the ultimate ending of it.  She wanted to leave the kingdom so she could abandon the laws and marry freely.  Little did she know how soon that would be...

The Princess is in another castle!

    The very next day, Bowser-style, the wizard, Dark Lord Cilantro, magically swept into the castle and abducted Lady Robbin for his own!  All of her suitors were paralyzed with fear even though the King offered a large reward and the standard hand in marriage.  

Suitors: She's not so pretty,

She has that mole.

Queen: How could you say that?

You have no souls!

    But Sir Baskin stepped forth with his hand on sheathed fish tail, his group of Breyer Bandits at the ready behind him.  Dark Lord Cilantro would have done well to live in a more modest home that was less easy to find, but everyone knew he had a weakness for ocean-side property and spacious lairs.  So they found him quickly and bashed down the doors with a steady beat of drums to carry them forth in song.

Breyer Bandits: Your swords are no match 

For our strong spirits,

And you cannot catch

Our slimy weapons!

Sir Baskin: Come out and fight me like a man!

You'll never defeat our crew!

Fight you to the death, I can!

    The evil dark lord appeared in front of our hero atop a wall, while on a nearby tower a caged Lady Robbin appeared. Undeterred, Sir Baskin took out his favorite weapon, a halibut, and started slashing.

Just like this.

    It looked as though our hero was about to prevail, but from behind him came a goon with a knife which he plunged into the back of Sir Baskin.  Lord Cilantro's gleeful smile faltered when he saw our hero's own smile. "You can't kill me!" Sir Baskin cried, "I'm mud!"

    And with that, Sir Baskin turned into a Pokemon.

No mere blade can defeat Grimer!

    The knife clattered to the ground uselessly and Sir Baskin, in his mud form, knocked the wielder to his death.  Just as quickly as it happened, Sir Baskin resumed his human form; Lord Cilantro was frozen in horror.  Our hero swung his halibut one more time and the evil wizard plummeted to his death.  Sir Baskin and Lady Robbin were reunited and celebration began.  But the two lovers sneaked away to the sandy beaches nearby where they serenaded one another as the sun set.  She sat on a boulder as he explained to her why they couldn't be together after all, because he wasn't completely human.  He walked into the water, after one more kiss, and swam into the sunset.  Never to be seen again.

   Lady Robbin was really confused.

    And that's when I woke up.
