1. Max
A special fun day was set aside for CONTROL agents and their families. It was held in a local park.
One of the events was a dunk tank. Both Max and 99 were scheduled to sit on it.
Max went first. He wore his gray suit, minus shoes and socks, on it. The first two to throw balls didn't dunk him.
Then it became 99's turn.
"All right, 99, let's see what you can do!"
Each player had three balls. She aimed, threw her first ball—and hit the target, giving Max a bath!
He straightened the chair and sat back on it.
"Er, beginner's luck! Let's see if you can make it two in a row."
She threw the ball and dunked him, again!
He once again got on the chair.
"You're good! But I don't think you can do three-in-a-row."
SPLASH!
"On the other hand. . . !"
2. 99
Eventually, it became 99's turn on the tank. Barefoot, she wore a pants suit. The first two players didn't dunk her.
And then, it became Max's turn.
"All right, 99, it's payback time!"
He threw his first ball; it fell short of the target.
"That was a practice shot! This should work."
"He threw again; it bounced off the target.
"Another practice shot! This one WILL work."
He threw; this one sailed way passed the target.
He then walked up close to the target. He punched it, causing 99 to plunge into the water!
She stood up and angrily folder her arms together. "Max, why did you do that?"
"Sorry about that, 99. I guess I was a little upset that dunked me three times in a row."
"Oh. Did I bruise your ego?"
"Yes. And my pride, too! Can you forgive me, 99?"
"Well. . .."
He put his wet arms around her wet shoulders, and they gave each other a wet hug and a wet kiss! The people around them cheered.
