p.s.- I don't own WiR or TF2... but I wish I did.
"Stop!" yelled the Surge Protector as he chased after Red Scout. It was the end of another game day at Game Central Station as Scout was cause more mischief around the station. Scout laughed as the security guard was unable to keep up. Suddenly, Surge zapped himself in front of Scout who scramble to change direction was caught by the back of his shirt. They both teleported across the station and reappeared in front of Engineer who was sitting quietly on the bench, strumming his guitar. "Is this yours?" Surge said irritatedly holding Scout by the shoulder.
"Yes he is, Officer. What did he do this time?" The Texan said in a relaxed tone.
" I caught this hooligan writing 'Force of Nature' on the walls of the transit station to Street Fighter." Surge said.
"Hey, who you callin' a hooligan, Sparky?" Scout said angrily.
" You better watch your mouth, sir, or I might have to take you in for insulting an officer." Surge said sternly.
" Oh, I can give ya some…." Scout started before Engineer butted in,starting to push Scout out of the way.
" I'm terribly sorry for what happened, Surge, I'll be sure it doesn't happen again." Engie said with reassurance.
"Good, I have my eye on you." Surge said to Scout before zipping off.
"Yeah yeah whatever, moron." Scout said under his breath. He looked up and was met with an unpleasant look from Engineer. "What?"
"Scout," Engie started as he set his guitar down on the bench. "What did I tell you about messing with Surge?"
"Oh come on, Engie, it wasn't that big of deal. It wasn't like anyone was getting hurt. Besides, It's not like I could get da ball back out of 2fort."
"Look, I know it's been hard since our game was pulled, but would you please stop wrastlin' with the Protectors?" Engineer said. Valve did a test console to try and make an arcade version of Team Fortress 2 six months before, unfortunately however, sales were not successful and all consoles were pulled from arcades everywhere and sent back to Valve Headquarters. Only Red Team and a couple of hidden files from the code that Engineer extracted made it 've been homeless for the past two weeks.
" Ugh, alright fine, I'll just go see what Pyros been up to." Scout said begrudgingly. Scout turned and started making his way over to Pyro who was over playing patty cake with the whack a moles. Engineer just sighed and sat back down on the bench, taking the guitar back in his hands. Engine heard two short alarms went off and a loud groan come from behind him.
"Please step to the side sir, random security check." Said Surge appearing out of seemingly nowhere.
"Random my behind, you always stop me." Said an irritated voice. Engie turned his head as he recognized the voice. Ralph stood there frustrated at Surge for his tedious questions. Engie didn't know Ralph on a deep level, but did know he has been around longer than anyone else. That and they've said hello to each other as they pass through the station.
"Anything to declare?" Surge said finishing up his interrogation.
"I hate you." Ralph replied.
"I get that a lot, proceed." Surge said zipping off again. Ralph continued his walk out of Pac Man pulling out two cherries as he proceeded moving towards Engineer's position.
"Howdy, Ralph." Engineer said in a friendly tone.
"Huh, oh, hey uuuhhh …." Ralph said trying to remember Engineer's name.
" Engie." Engineer reminded the Wrecker.
" Oh yeah, yeah, Sorry 'bout that." Ralph stammered
" That's nothin'." Engineer said laughing off the mistake.
" Oh and sorry 'bout what happened to your game, I know it's a tough thing to go through." Ralph said acknowledging the unplugging of Team Fortress 2.
"Well," Engineer said sitting back on the bench. " We're coping with one game at a time."
" Yeah, Yeah…" Ralph said, his voice trailing off. "Well, Better get going back, you know, to do….stuff."
" Heh, alrighty then." Engineer said as Ralph turned and continued. "Oh and hey," Ralph turned his head to Engie. " Happy Anniversary." Engineer congratulated.
Ralph smirked. " Thanks, Engie." and he continued on.
