"OK!" said Billy, "let's open this up for autographs! Guys, get your comics out!..."
One by one, the boys and girls hurried forwards to get their copies signed and inscribed. Dylan waddled forwards! He was so excited that he wasn't watching where he was going! As he stepped forwards, he tripped on a power-cord near the table and fell flat on his feet! He hit the ground and a few people yelped in surprise!
"Y'know, just because I'm your God doesn't mean you have to kiss my feet, right?"
A few people laughed and Dylan grunted and got to his feet. Then he yelped!
Standing over him was the golden god - Flavius Aurelius.
Dylan had humiliated himself in front of a freakin' GOD!
"Oh my God! I'm so sorry! I..." Dylan blurted out. Flavius laughed!
He held out a hand, grabbed Dylan by his T-shirt and easily hoisted him to his feet. Dylan eeped, when he felt the raw POWER in Flavius's arms.
"...Th...thanks!" he panted, nervously tugging his T-shirt back down over his belly.
"No problem, Dylan. Just watch out, yeah?"
Dylan blushed and nodded.
"Thank you...uh...your Majesty..." he said. He blushed even more!
Flavius chuckled, "yeah, no problem dude...here, lemme sign that for you..."
Flavius picked up the comic that had fallen out of Dylan's satchel when he'd tripped over, and signed his name across the front.
"There you go, buddy", he said.
"Thanks!" said Dylan. "Wow! I can't believe..."
"Yeah, yeah, listen if you wanna fawn over me even more, you'll have to rock back here later once I'm done shakin' hands with everybody", said Flavius. He turned around to face a starstruck 7-year-old boy with his twin sister, who was standing there, jaw dropping open at the sight of him.
"How you doin', Corey? Nice to meet you...This is your sister, huh? Nice, nice...there you go lil' buddy..."
