A good background hat story! starts with his getting dressed, smiling in the morning, and puts on his hat! :) only little did he know...their relationship would be put in danger!

it's a lucky hat, or a hat given by someone special. connected to Rapty? Rapty found the hat! in a Louisiana adventure! at first, his mom didn't want to let him keep it, but...something something, and she changes his mind and allows him to wear it (after a good washing!) and he's worn it ever since!
