The Statue #5
Oden said, “Thor doesn’t like it.” Shocking. Oden teased, “Sarcasm.” Marshall, Jim, Caleb, and Nick flew into the room, their eyes doubling in size. All my Uncles Betas showed up too and rubbed their temples.
Dad shouted, “A BALL GAG AND A LEASH?!” Dad’s eyes went black. I muttered, “Shit.” Thor growled murderously, “I am not a damn dog! I am an Alpha wolf, and I will not be collared and leashed like some common animal!”
Dylan told him, “That would’ve been an epic line if you said something about being a god. Get it? Because you changed your name to Thor once you met my goddess and you are going to be a god. That was a missed opportunity for you, Thor.”
Melanie bit her lip while tugging on her sleeve. I felt how uncomfortable this made her the bond. I wrapped my arm around her while staring at Dylan in shock. Lucas rubbed his temples and said, “Dylan, let’s go to find my sister.”
Dad took back over from Thor and shouted, “Get rid of them!” Dylan gasped, “Blasphemy! They are amazing and I love them. Do you know how long it took to get this perfected? I went back and forth with the people creating this for months!”
Dad roared, “MONTHS?! YOU HAVE SOLD THESE TO PEOPLE DYLAN! I HAVE ON A LEASH!” Dylan clarified, “So to be clear, you are not upset about the color of the shorts, or the ball gag. It’s the leash that’s your hang up? Darn. One step too far I guess.”
Melanie muttered, “I don’t understand some social cues… and I know it was all bad. From top to bottom… not just the leash.” Blade said, “Is true.” Melanie jumped then asked, “Did I say that out loud?” I answered, “You did, but it’s ok.”
Dad yelled, “ONE STEP!” He threw his hands out and the table, and all the statues, exploded. I felt Melanie’s shock. Only my siblings, mom, select members in our pack, Fairy Family, and Hackura Family knew that dad had gotten the power to do that from my mom.
Mom sighed, “Twenty-three years of keeping that damn secret. It's been a pretty long time so I’m going to call it a win.” I snorted. My siblings were snickering too. Dylan shrieked, “My statutes! How rude, LGSAP. On top of blowing up my statutes, you kept it a secret you can BLOW THINGS UP?”
Dylan lamented, “I can think of several times that would’ve been helpful.
You just can’t be helpful all the time, can you?
You just have to keep your secrets about your awesome powers.
I have to know my wind-up toys features to use them correctly.
You are so boring! How are you still this boring after being married to the most fun Fairy of all time! ”
Dad grabbed him by the shirt and slammed him into the wall. Dylan calmly said, “Hey now grabby hands, I’m not as tall as you and my feet have left the ground.” Mom put her hand on dad’s back then whispered, “Eric.”
Dad growled, “He sold this statue to god knows how many people!” Dylan said, “So far it’s been three hundred and eighty two. In case anyone was curious. I know the masses must be worried since you blew these ones up, but I have more.”
Oh god. I linked Melanie, “Can you intercept those?” Melanie answered, “If they are in transit, yes… easily. I can totally do that… I could also steal them… if they are here.” I snorted, “Let’s just focus on any in transit.”
Dylan continued, “Don’t you worry, LSGAP. No need to blow anything else up. I might have to think of a new level for your name. You are the literal worst LSGAP.” Dad slammed Dylan back into the wall, growling.
Dylan shouted, “Ow, ow, Lucas! Do something.” Lucas reasoned, “Eric, it’s just a joke.” Dad snarled at him. Marshall said, “Ya know…” Then trailed off before admitting, “I got nothing.” Caleb admitted, “I’m drawing a blank myself.”
Melanie hummed, “Based on my research….only Haley can do anything… right now.” Oden snorted in my head.
Mom said, “Eric, let’s go calm the fuck down and we can discuss this later.
” Dylan urged, “Yes, go have sex with your awesome fun Fairy for hours and then we talk in your post orgasm bliss. Because that’s what she means when she says calm down. ”
“We all know at this point because you guys are so very loud. I bet the whole hotel hears this. Ohhh, can you send a hotel into heat? You’re a super powerful going to be a literal goddess. I will take a Lacy heat please and thank you.” Dad snarled at him again.
I linked him, “Dad, just step away with mom. EJ and I will make sure Dylan doesn’t sell anymore. Melanie is going to stop any in transit to the hotel.” Dad let Dylan go with a warning, “You are not prepared for how I will get you back for this.” Dylan straightened his shirt out.
To my surprise Dylan smiled, “I look forward to it, and will take in the spirit it was intended. Unlike you, because I don’t go nuclear about everything. Plus, someone has to dethrone Lucas with his epic Tinkerbell prank your wife pulled. I decided it should be me that holds that title.”
Mom popped dad away before he could say anything else. Melanie gasped, “That’s why you did it?! You want… the prank Haley will pull… well plural… it will be pranks.” Melanie linked me, “Dylan feels really bad.” I said to Dylan, “I know you have backups, but let’s hold off on those.”
Dylan sighed, “You all just can’t tap into that fun DNA your mom has.
” Blade commented, “Duchess right.” Melanie agreed, “I am. Haley will prank Dylan… but that’s what he wanted.
” Melanie linked me, “I think he actually feels really bad he didn’t know your dad could blow stuff up and he revealed it.
” Probably. It was hardly his fault though, Dylan didn’t know.
Dylan said, “Ahh yes, because her Hackura DNA will be upset. I know my Super Special Fun Sized Fairy Ninja Goddess will get me back. The Beta brain always knows. Can I just say it will be worth it!” Because Melanie had told me how Dylan was feeling I noted he was missing the joyous infection he usually had from his comment.
There was even that sparkle of fun missing.
Oden confirmed, “Fang does feels bad.” I replied, “Tell him he didn’t know.
There was no way he could’ve known we were hiding that power.
” Oden agreed, “I’ll do that, but he needs Kiara.
” Of course he did, that was his mate. Luckily, Lacy was here. So, she’d be with him soon enough.
I said, “My mom will do something epic to get back at you for this.” Dylan smiled, “I know. It’s going to be great.
I will finally dethrone Lucas and his Tinkerbell figurines.
It’s about time that prank was topped. He’s held the crown for too long.
It’s my turn. I look better in crowns than he does anyway. ”
Melanie laughed, “So… I was right. You did this on purpose.” Dylan winked, “I so like you. Have some popcorn, I look forward to all the chaos and fun you cause at this Summit.” Melanie frowned, “I’m not planning on doing anything.”
Dylan smiled, “Ahhh, but I’ve grilled your family and friends about you. I am prepared for all the things all the time. You are going to make this Summit so much less boring.” I commented, “After this, I don’t know how it could be considered boring.”
Dylan grumbled, “About that, for shame on you all for keeping that an explosive secret. I swear that man just gets everything. It makes things like this worth it. Even if he gets the ones I sold back, they are in places all over. In fact, in Blue Moon they are charmed so they cannot be moved.”
I said, “My Uncle Aiden or my mom could move them.” Dylan snorted, “Your Uncle wouldn’t do that, he thinks I’m fun.” I heard a pop. Uncle Aiden announced, “I see I am seconds late for the show. The Fairies that made court last longer will be paying for that.”
Melanie surmised, “You knew too.” Uncle Aiden winked, “Like you, I knew the statue existed but not what it was. I also took the liberty of having a camera installed here in case I missed what happened.” I said, “Dad revealed his power to blow things up.”
Uncle Aiden laughed, “So I see. Lucinda will enjoy watching that. She and your mom worked so hard with him on control. To be fair, he did very well with that.” Dylan gasped, “King Fire Hands, where was my memo?”
Uncle Aiden laughed, “Ah, but finding out this way was so much more fun. Enjoy the rest of the Summit here. I’m sure it will be eventful.” He looked at Melanie when he said it. Melanie seemed annoyed.
I heard my mate in my head, “What did I do? I didn’t even do anything.” I linked her, “No, you haven’t.” My wife jumped sideways. I laughed and told her, “I heard you say that.” Melanie sighed and seemed to be linking Freya.
We didn’t see my parents until the next day. Dylan was standing with us when I felt them getting closer to us in the bond. I warned, “I’d make myself scarce if I were you.” Dylan snorted, “Which is why you aren’t me. Seriously, be more fun.”
The elevator opened and dad walked over to Dylan and handed him a check. Dylan frowned, “What is…?” He trailed off then screamed, “OH MY GOD! You’re paying for the statues you blew up?” Dad gritted his teeth, “Apparently, that’s fair.”
Dylan was laughing so hard he bent over and slapped his knee.
He waved his hands, “Oh god. It’s too good.
She’s making you pay for them.” Mom said, “I also conjured acceptable statues for you to sell. I found the paperwork you filled out for booth. It wouldn’t be fair for you not to be able to sell something. ”
Dylan sighed, “I’m sure it’s a lovely statue.” He whispered, “That I will hate because it’s going to actually be LSGAP as a god.” Mom produced a statue for Dylan and I smiled. It was my dad standing in Thor’s battle gear outfit.
Dylan sighed, “This is what I get for bringing the comedy to our lives. These will not sell as well as the others, just so you know.” Mom snorted, “I bet all the damn women buy this fucking statue, and I’ll just wish I could kill them with my eyes.” I couldn’t help but laugh.
