Here There Be Dragons
Hannibal, Face and B.A. were sitting casually around the table while the news was playing in the background. The peaceful scene was shattered as Murdock bounded into the room. Face just grinned and shook his head. Other people just entered a room. Murdock made an entrance.
"Hey guys! Are you ready to make your New Years resolutions?"
The rest of the team exchanged puzzled glances. Finally Face cleared his throat.
"Uhm - buddy? New Year's is over."
"Well, sure. One is, but what about the other one?"
"Other one? What kinda jibber-jabber are you spouting out now, Fool?"
"Chinese New Year! We need to figure out our resolutions for it."
Hannibal looked amused by the thought, but shook his head.
"I don't think most people make resolutions for Chinese New Year, son."
"So? We're not most people. We could start a new trend! You know - like resolving to be kind to dragons!"
"Sit down and calm down, Crazy Fool. Ain't no such thing as dragons."
"Well, no wonder they don't hang around anymore if nobody will resolve to be nice to them."
Hannibal just held a hand up to B.A. to keep the irritated sergeant in his seat.
"Easy, B.A. Tell you what, Murdock. How about we all resolve to try and be nice to any dragon we happen to come across?"
Before Murdock could say a thing, B.A. broke in.
"Unless they act crazy and attack us first."
Murdock blinked at the condition, but then grinned.
"Sure that sounds reasonable. Thanks, guys! I'm going to take Billy for a run. Be right back!"
After the ball of energy disguised as a pilot in a bomber jacket exited the room, Hannibal and Face both turned their attention to B.A., but Face was the one that asked first.
"B.A.? If you don't believe in dragons, why the condition?"
He looked flustered, but finally B.A. just sighed and looked over at the door Murdock had left through.
"Well - if there's even one left out there anywhere, that Fool will find it."
And for those that will be celebrating it on January 23 - Happy Year of the Dragon.
