Just a playful little interaction between some of the kiddos- nothing too grandiose.
Herry wolfed down a sub and glanced around the small grocery store. He spotted the fighter and the leader lacing hands in the sweets corner (Coincidence? Maybe not.) then the purple-haired warrior and the huntress joking around in the produce isle. As he watched, a thought occurred to him, and then he absent-mindedly remarked, "Why don't I have a girlfriend?"
As the brawn talked, he completely forgot that he still had half of a roast beef in his mouth, so he ended up spraying it on Neil as he talked. Darn. What a waste of five bucks….
Upon impact, the blonde let out a shrill scream, then dove behind Odie, who was conveniently standing beside him. Once he finally recovered from the whole ordeal, he whipped out his mirror to assess the damage, then shot a murderous glare at the brawn. "Oh, I don't know. Maybe because you're a slob with no sense of class or sophistication!"
The brawn cocked his head and gave Neil and odd look. "Since when are girls interested in 'class' and 'sophistication'?"
At this, Neil groaned and rubbed his face.
"And this is why he is doomed to be a bachelor."
Herry frowned and just got more perplexed by the minute and looked at Odie, who, for his part, just shrugged.
"Hey, Odie- did Hercules ever have a girlfriend?" Herry suddenly blurted out.
Odie face-palmed and shook his head. "He had a wife, Herry. Her name was Megara."
"And? What happened to her?" Herry's pressed, his face lighting up at the revelation.
"Hercules killed her…" Odie muttered.
"Oh." Herry frowned, quite disappointed, but a few moments later, a thought crossed his mind.
"Wait…does that mean that if I get a girlfriend, I'm doomed to kill her too?!"
The brains and the good-looking exchanged glances, then glanced at Herry, blank-faced and expressionless.
Finally, Odie broke the award silence with a simple, 'I don't know'
Herry sighed and looked away, his gaze wandering onto a pretty brunette that was entering the store. A grin crossed his face and, he proceeding to walk over to her, as if he were in some sort of trance.
Neil watched his friend, an air of smugness overcoming him.
"Odie, remind me to take a hiatus for the funeral…"
Funny- I just realized that Odie, Herry and Neil are the perfect trio.
Herry and his counter-intuitive remarks, plus Odie and his occasional sass, multiplied by Neil's eccentric snarky and cocky demeanor = gold.
