Fever Dream or Reality? Who Cares!

Summary:

[June Doe 2025, Day 11: Space Age Bachelor Man]

Ricky Potts finds himself on Zolar. It's not what he'd expected... but he's HERE for it.

Notes:

My June Doe's are going to be a little out of order for a bit... Catching up from a family emergency (we're fine now) so expect things to shift around at some point.

(See the end of the work for more notes.)

Work Text:

Ricky was on Zolar.

Like, actually, physically standing on Zolar.

Everything was smaller than he imagined, save for the giant golden arch dwarfing the rest of the landscape. A voice boomed overhead.

"And now, the moment you've all been waiting for… Zolar's next available bachelor!"

Lights whirled around him, blurring his visuals, before he was transported to the center of a stage— two chairs sat behind him; In one, a long-haired graying tabby-man, wielding a microphone in one paw.

He gestured for Ricky to take a seat. "Richard Potts!"

Ricky threw up a peace sign.

The crowd erupted into cheers.


Notes:

And then he wakes up.
