Crisis on Infinite Earths

We Should Go As Shaggy and Scooby!

"An event organised just for nerds... Why don't we have this on our earth," Charlie complained.

"Don't we have LARPing?" Dean said rhetorically.

"Well, yeh but this is completely different," Charlie paced around the hotel room they had checked into a couple of hours ago.

Dean and Sam sat on opposite ends of circular table which was placed next to a window.

"So, you think this no name monster will make an appearance?" Dean scanned through the pamphlet once more before he lifted his head to face Sam.

"This is huge gathering of people who enjoy dressing up as their favourite tv show or anime characters, which includes villains. So, my guess is, if the monster has some psychological capability similar to humans and it finds out about this event then it'll definitely be curious. I know I would," Sam replied as Dean closed the pamphlet and placed it in front of him.

"So. Hows this gonna work? We gonna cosplay or what?" Dean smiled and looked at Charlie for approval.

"HELLS YES! Who would go to a convention and NOT dress up!" Charlie was bouncing with excitement.

"So Sam. I'm thinking, matching outfits, like uh.. oh! Batman and Robin!" Dean looked at Sam with anticipation and determination. "No," Sam replied wide eyed with embarrassment.

"Ok, uh... Bert and Ernie!" Dean glanced at Sam with a smile as he waited for an answer. "No," Sam repeated. "Yeah that's weird."

Dean leant forward in his chair. "Oh! Rocky and Bullwinkle!" Dean gasped in excitement with his finger pointed at the air in triumph. "Dean" Sam wanted him to stop as he knew it was pointless.

Dean looked at Charlie with questioning eyes and then back at his brother. "Shaggy and Scooby!" Dean continued spurting out famous pairs. "Why would we..." Sam was cut off mid-sentence. "Turner and Hooch! Ren and Stimpy!"

Dean could hear Charlie chuckle in the background.

"Come on now," Sam looked at Dean with worried eyes.

"Thelma and Louise! We can just put it in drive and GO!" Dean was hyped, his eyes and smile widened with excitement. Sam shook his head, his face appeared red from embarrassment.

"Ok, what about you cosplay as batman and I'll be superman. Just like when we were kids," Dean had the intention to at least compromise with Sam.

"The last time I dressed as batman, I broke my arm," Sam raised his eyebrows as he looked at Dean, ready for a comment. "That sounds like an interesting story... For another day. At least I know who I'm going to be cosplaying," Charlie commented as she stepped towards the boys.

"Hermione Granger from Harry Potter. The beautiful, courageous and highly intelligent witch, whom people don't give enough credit for saving the world on countless occasions," Charlie posed as if there were paparazzi instructing her then focused her attention back to the boys.

"Hey Dean, you like Marvel right? How bout you go as Star Lord? He's the quick witted guy who believes his half thought out jokes are actually funny. You'd play him perfectly!" Charlie said humorously as she heard Sam chuckle under his breath.

"Don't mock Peter Quill. He's hilarious," Dean got up out of his chair and walked over to Charlie.

"So how exactly are we going to trick Sam into wearing a costume," Dean whispered in Charlie's ear. "Sam's too smart for simple trickery Dean," Charlie glanced over at Sam who looked like a shocked puppy.

"How will we get costumes? Isn't is a bit late to order them off of ebay or amazon?" Dean questioned Charlie.

She whipped her phone out of her pocket and displayed it in the air. "Why would we order them on ebay when I'm sure there are plenty of cosplay stores here. It's pretty likely that at least one of them will sell a Peter Quill costume and whatever Sammy is going as. Probably himself," Charlie said as she displayed a website on her phone screen which read Costume Box in all caps.

In the corner of the page, the address, email and phone number of the store was highlighted boldly. "The power of the internet baby," Charlie sounded proud of herself.

In the centre of the page there was a man in his mid 20's who modelled for the costume of Peter Quill in the first Guardians of the Galaxy movie. "Woah ho. Hell yeah. I'm totally wearing that," Dean smiled as his face moved closer towards Charlies phone.

"It is already 4pm and comic con starts at 5 so we better hurry," Charlie informed the boys as she stuffed the phone back into her purse.

Dean walked over to the bedside table and grabbed his silver keys as they made a high-pitched clanking noise.

He motioned for Charlie and Sam to join as they opened the motel door and began to walk towards the 67 Chevy Impala with style.
