When I was in middle school I came by a small Dragon beanie baby-Legend. He was purple with a yellow belly and wings. Being me I brought him to school to play with at lunch during action figure roleplay starring a love triangle around Prince Legolas between Storm and Xena. We worked with the figures I had.
In high school Legend went in a side pocket of my backpack. I once returned from the bathroom to see my best friend having words. He stayed there through college.
Legend had a character, like many of my Beanies. [Princess loved Teddy because he was modest. Valentino wanted Princess until Valentina. Waddles thought he could fly. Pinky ate anything thay wasn't food]
Legend was afraid. Of most things. Including flying and breathing fire. But he liked french fries.
In my final semester of community college, the weekend I went to see the University I'd continue at, I introduced Legend to another Beanie Baby Dragon: Magic. She was white with Iradescent wings
They Became smitten fast and suddenly Legend was flying without realizing it. Two nights before I left for college I held a lovely wedding for the two, including Storm and Legolas as guests. There are photos on my Facebook. Mom made cupcakes. They have been happily married since and recently adopted a hatchling.
I tell this story because I took the family to a playground today <3
