I'm driving the van for Highlander this month, and thought I would start off with a lighter Highlander story.

Why this must be read:

This is a great story set immediately after Methos takes Kristen’s head in Chivalry. It shows that Methos really doesn’t take Quickenings well at all. The madness that ensues is funny.

"Joe...he was channeling Lewis Carroll."

Joe blinked in confusion. "Who?"

Another sigh. "Lewis Carroll. You know, the author of Alice in Wonderland? He kept going on and on about the Queen of Hearts, the White Rabbit and the Dormouse. Joe, he called me the Caterpillar. Do I look like a mushroom sitting, hookah smoking, giant caterpillar to you?"

Feeling a little like Alice himself, Joe wasn't sure what the correct answer to that last question was, "Ah...no?"

"Joe!" It was a frustrated growl. Joe knew that growl and he realized that Mac was at the end of his rope. With a sigh of his own and a shake of his head he spoke in a soothing tone of voice, "Okay, okay. Calm down. What is the old man doing now?"

"Now? Oh, that's easy. Right now, Methos is stripped down to his boxer shorts and is...flitting about the loft and flapping his arms while reciting Japanese poetry."

For a moment, Joe could only sit there with his jaw hanging down as his poor mind was assaulted with vivid mental images. Finally, he pulled himself out of his shock and began rubbing at his temple with his free hand. "Okay. I can almost understand the whole poetry thing...but...what's with the flapping of his arms thing?"

MacLeod barked out a humorless laugh. "Oh, that's easy. He thinks that he is a butterfly."
