Epic Birthday

My littlest brother just turned 11.
Makes me feel all old and junk.

For his birthday we went to 'Quazar Laser Tag' in Norwich. Oh yeah right, forgot to mention that I'm in the U.K.
We decided on adults versus kids, the kids took blue and we were left with red. Which is alright by me, red team is better anyways.
In the back ground I could hear my littlest brother and all his pint sized mates talking about who they got to be.
"I want to be Superman."
"Nah dude that's lame, Mr. Fantastic." (how Mr. Fantastic is better than Superman is beyond me.)
"Oh! I'm the Hulk!"
"Dude! Batman!"

Honestly I thought they were playing pretend. You know all the hype with the new Spiderman movie and the (most awesome) Avengers. I figured it was some kind of game within the game we were about to play.
NOPE!

After the first game as I was taking off my laser vest I noticed a slip of paper fixed to the front of the vest. It read: Dracula.
What?
So I look at my dad and ask: "Do you have a name on your vest too?"
Upon inspection he responds positively and says that he is: "Darth Vader."
My mother had noticed and chose to be Skeletor.
The older of my little brothers, Rocker, hadn't noticed either and ended up as King Kong.
My sister, always full of luck, also was clueless and turned out to have Megatron taped to her front.

Which made me think: How cool would it be to actually have a bunch of heroes and villains from various fantasy worlds collide?
Hell, just the idea of Skeletor, Megatron, Darth Vader, and Dracula in the same room makes me stupidly excited. (Though in all honesty they would probably all kill each other.) Sorry King Kong, you're too big for the building.

Ah the random Epic one finds at a birthday party.
Does this mean I'm still 11 at heart? (o.0) Well, Crap.
