A Geeky Fairy Tale

Once upon a time, ok it was the first Saturday in May 2013. However, it was a very magical day as it was Free Comic Book Day, Star Wars Day (May the 4th Be With You), and Iron Man 3 had hit theaters the day before. Truly a geektastic day indeed.
  
 Anyway, in the magical kingdom of Portland, Maine a fair maiden cosplayer was visiting the local comic book shops. She wore a Robin costume loosely based on Helena Wayne’s Robin costume from Earth 2 of DC’s New 52.

The geeky maiden had many an adventure that morning. On her way to the first comic shop, Casablanca Comics, she encountered The Doctor who requested help with some Cybermen. Then she chatted with a group of Mandalorian Mercs as they were suiting up. Afterwards Robin waited to get her comics and as she did she met Dark Phoenix, as well as three miniature Batmans who wanted her to be their sidekick. Robin appreciated their offers, but refused. She had other adventures planned for herself that day.
  
 Robin left Casablanca comics putting her treasure in her coach. It was a short walk to the other comic shop, Coast City Comics. Robin liked to double dip and get as much geek interaction as she could on Free Comic Book Day. Upon reaching Coast City Comics she saw her friends The Maine Ghostbusters. Robin and The Maine Ghostbusters posed for pictures and talked to people walking along the street.


 Little did the geeky maiden know that across the street was a geek prince in a chariot. He was just getting home from a gathering when he saw Robin and The Ghostbusters, who had by now also been joined by Wonder Woman and Green Lantern. The prince rolled across the street to see for himself what was taking place.
    The prince found himself attracted to Robin. He started talking to her, flirting with her. Robin was completely oblivious to his advances. She thought the wheeled prince was cute, but thought herself too plain. The prince saw a beauty beneath the mask and wished to know more about the woman beneath it.

The maiden said she needed to depart to go watch Iron Man 3. The prince did not wish to part ways with Robin just yet. So he asked if she would like company. Robin decided that company would be very lovely indeed. Together they traversed to The Nickelodeon Cinema. They enjoyed Iron Man 3 very much and after much talking (and many numerous geek references) decided they enjoyed each other very much.


They met again a couple of weeks later to go to The Maine Comic Arts Festival (MECAF). This time the maiden was dressed as Rogue and the prince was Dante from Clerks. It was love and the two are still geeking out together to this day.
