Got the idea while chatting with some friends on Skype. Enjoy!
"Xibalba."
Xibalba looks at La Muerte, his crush and childhood friend, and notice she's looking at some Gods dress up in uniform, wearing armor that covers their body. La Muerte looks at them with lust in her eyes.
"Their so handsome, I love a man in uniform."
Xibalba glare at the men with jealousy. Xibalba wish La Muerte would look at him that way. He wishes he can wear a uniform to impress La Muerte. Then, the idea hit him. His going to join the army.
"I'm joining the army." Xibalba said, trying to sound tough.
"You, joining the army?" A loud laugh came out of Xibalba's big brother's mouth.
Xibalba glare at his older brother as he kept laughing. He finally stop, catching his breath and whipping the tears out of his eyes. He look at his little brother.
"Oh, your serious. That's even funnier!" And he continue to laugh.
"Uuuugghh! Why did I bother telling you?" Xibalba said annoyed at his brother's reaction.
His older brother wrap his larger, boney arm around him. "Don't be too butt hurt little brother! I can't see you in the army, it's really... And your...not."
Xibalba push his brother away. "Get away! I'll be fine!"
His brother roll his eyes. "Little brother, I'm in the army. I know what it's like. You've never been interested, but why now?"
Xibalba didn't answer. He turn away from his brother.
"Aaaahhh I see. It's all because of a girl."
"No it's not!" Xibalba snap at he face his brother.
"I know you've been crushing on that one Goddess. What's her name...La Muerte."
"Shut up!"
His brother chuckle. "Well, I'm not going to stop you. If you want to join the army then go ahead. Let's just see how long it will last you."
A few days later, Xibalba put on his new uniform. It is made out of shiny dark metal with green bones and skulls across the chest area. His metal shoulder pads is carve with bones and skills with crowns on them. On each shoulder pad, there is a metal skull of some animal on them. Xibalba look in the mirror and he smile. He knew his going to impress La Muerte now.
"X-Xibalba? Is that you?" La Muerte ask as Xibalba walk up to her in his uniform.
"Yes, it's me! I joined the army!" Xibalba proudly said.
"But why?"
"To protect Gods and Goddess of course! What do you think? Like my new uniform?"
La Muerte look up and down Xibalba. "Hmmmm...you look nerdy."
It felt like an arrow shot in his heart. "N-nerdy?"
La Muerte giggle. "Yes, but your my nerd Xibalba." She walk up to him and stand on her tippy toes and give him a small kiss on his left cheek bone.
"Good luck Xibalba." She wink at him and turn and walk away.
Xibalba watch her and rub his cheek where he kiss. He smile. Maybe joining the army was a good idea.
Ok he was wrong. Joining the army was a bad idea.
"I immediately regret this decision." Xibalba said to himself as he did push-ups in the mud in the middle of a rain storm with a large drill instructor yelling at him and his brother and his friends laugh at him.
