Rhibear ~ Madam Solo ~ Dark Brooding Girl ~ Accio Jedi ~ Gryffinclaw ~ Just a doll 86. Daring Setting: The Marchand house; Rouen, France; 2061
Gaston wanted to be just like the daring knight in the stories his mother told him, to ride a horse and fight dragons and rescue maidens in distress. He even got her to make him a knight costume. It was nothing fancy, mostly aluminum and cardboard, but he loved it and wore it everywhere.
He galloped through the house on his stick horse, brandishing a ‘sword’ made from a cardboard tube, as he chased after a dragon – the family cat. It hid under the sofa. “Come out, foul beast!” Gaston jabbed his ‘sword’, and the ‘dragon’ ‘roared’ (meowed) at him.
