ZAREL: Another day, another electronic message.

subj: Fire

Hey Dragonman!
You're no dragon!
You don't breath fire!
How can you even call yourself a dragon if you don't breath fire?
Badstar

ZAREL: {typing} What are you talking about? Sure, I can't breathe fire, but doesn't mean I'm not a dragon! Look, I'm gonna go see my dragon buddies and see what they have to say!

{Zarel leaves. Cut to The Bar from dragon rally}

ZAREL: Trogdor, my man! What's going on? How are all my dragon brothers?

TROGDOR: Uh, yeah. About that.

S IS FOR SUCKS: Sorry, Z, but you're out.

ZAREL: Out? What do you mean?

TROGADOR: Well, we've been thinking and...you don't breathe fire, you don't squish peasants...and you seem to lack beefy arms.

TROGDOR: Actually, future me, we covered that beefy arms aren't really necessary. I mean, look at Multi-Function.

ZAREL: I've squished...ants, if that counts. Oh, and sometimes The Cheat.

TROGDOR: Sorry, brother, but we can't have you non-dragons in our group.

ZAREL: Well...what about Za Long?

ZA LONG: Sorry, Zarel. I can shoot fire from my hands.

ZAREL: B-but...well, fine. I didn't like you guys anyway!

{Zarel storms off, cut back to the Roomy-Vac}

ZAREL: {typing} You were right, Badstar, I am no dragon...but then, if I'm not a dragon, what am I?

{A message pops up}

YOU HAVE 1 NEW EMAIL

ZAREL: {frustrated} What now?

subj: You're gullible, dude

Dear Zarel,
Oh man, I can't believe you fell for that.
Don't you realize it's April?
Come back to the bar!
Multi-Function Dragon

ZAREL: What? WHAT?! It was a joke?

{Cut back to the bar}

ZAREL: Alright, what's the big idea here?

MULTI-FUNCTION: {laughing} April Fools, Zarel! April Fools!

ZAREL: Multi-Function...April Fools is April 1st. Today's the 29th.

MULTI-FUNCTION: Who cares? I still gotcha! {sing-songy} April Fools, April Fools...

ZAREL: Say, whaddya say Za Long and I start working out so we can beef our arms up, and we kick him out? Eh? Eh?

{The other dragons talk amongst each other sort of in agreement.}
