For some, it was just another Saturday night on NUS island.

For me, it was more like Saturday night fever - HOT HOT HOT!

There I was minding my own business at the sandbox, rezzing up freebies that I had looted from the vast freebie warehouses, when I noticed a small red dot in the distance. It wasn't quite Singapore on the world map, but yet I had a bad feeling about it.

It grew bigger, my heightened vision (courtesy of my Matrix 2004 glasses) noticed it had a pair of wings. I had a sense of foreboding. What in the blue, blue skies of Second Life could it possibly be? (And why in the world am I giving it a damn?)

Red dot. With wings. Now it was breathing fire.

OMG!

It was a dragon! Apparently Christian Bale didn't quite get them all in "Reign of Fire". The moron. Well, as a NUS Ridgecat Senior(since 21st Mar 2008, thank you), I couldn't possibly stand by (actually I was sitting down, rezzing 1,000 freebies is tiring work!) and watch this hideous freak of nature invade our peaceful island!

"SOO TO THE RESCUE!"

I donned my Futuristic Dragon Slaying, Plasma Rifle Wielding skin and rushed to meet the aggressor. However, when I caught skin of its majestic crimson and black hide, its ivory horns and those Darlie-white teeth, I was in awe. Surely one couldn't hurt this fine, endangered species!

Peeking from behind the leaves of a potted plant nearby, I observed the creature as it poked its head around the Shout-Out Corner. It seemed to be looking for something. As its head pointed towards the RidgeCat Milo Truck, I gasped in horror:

"NO FREAK DINOSAUR WITH WINGS IS GONNA TAINT THE SACRED WATERS OF OUR MILO TRUCK!"

I screamed as I charged out from my well-hidden position and confronted the beast! He (at least I think it's a he) cocked his head to one side, checking out this scrawny little figure, making some incomprehensible noises and gestures (which I will not describe).

"MYYYYYYYYYYYYLLLOOOOO!!!!"

He roared, and breathed searing flames towards me, narrowly missing my Dolce & Gabbana skinsuit. I realised I had picked the wrong fight (obviously, duh). I hit Alt+F4 before you can say "Milo Truck".

Lesson learnt?

Never come between a Dragon and our his milo!
