Author's note: Mat, we can get started on the joint project as soon as I finish this story (epilogue and all). I'll let you lead. Well, on with the story. Just this chapter and the epilogue, and I'll be done.

Chapter 11: Everyone's Happy
-
RPGAMES STUDIO - STAFF CONTROLLER ROOM
Alex and Clover burst into the room. Noticing some guards in the room, Clover hid behind a barrel and Alex used Camouflage to conceal herself. The former wasn't hiding long when she heard someone hiding inside the barrel. She peeked inside, and there was Normi. "About time you got here, Clover!"
Clover gasped. "Normi? What are you doing here?" she whispered.
"I was jealous that you got to come here and I didn't, so I stowed away in the trunk of that car," Normi whispered back.
"Well, were you the one who pulled the plug on that big computer?"
"The Staff Controller thing? I think that's what I did. I figured something was up, and I decided it would benefit you in some way if I disabled it."
"It did, Normi. Thanks a lot. We'll take it from here."
MEANWHILE
Sam and I had called in WOOHP's capture team, and Dan Ti was promptly collected. "I can't believe you spies," Jerry told us. "It seems that every time Dan Ti has some kind of set-up, you happen to get involved in it by chance."
"That's the thing about being in WOOHP," Sam explained. "You're always prepared for anything. And it's not just Dan Ti, either. Remember the airplane incident?"
(Evil Airlines Much? -Author)
"Oh, right, that. Well, you'll be glad to know that Dan Ti will be in a cell of level 2 security this time. Wouldn't want this to happen again. Now, about the show …"
Alex was just returning, with Clover and Normi following. "I had a lot of fun with it. I'm guessing that Sam and Leo did too. If we can staff the show with some WOOHP employees and some of these former contestants, and if Clover takes over the role of Tina D., I'm sure we can pick up right where we left off."
Clover heard this. "You're giving me the role? All right! And, Normi, what would you say to being my guest co-host?"
"Guest co-host?" Normi blinked. "Okay, but isn't that a contradiction in terms?"
I stood between Clover and Normi. "You'd better leave the wisecracks to me, okay, Normi? Oh! I almost forgot something. What time is it?"
Jerry checked his watch. "Almost noon. Why do you ask?"
It's important to my role that I keep tabs on Mandy's schedule; it makes pranking her that much easier. I knew that she was due to eat lunch at the restaurant right across the street from the RPGames studio at noon. I rushed over to the window, opened it, and leaned out. Just as I'd planned it, Mandy was walking by.
I raised my bow and put an arrow to it. My aim was perfect, and the arrow pierced Mandy's purse, spilling change all over the ground. (I wouldn't want to physically harm her; that'd be overdoing it!)
Even though she wasn't harmed, Mandy's fashion was, and that was enough to get her steamed. Of course, she knew exactly who to blame. "LEO!"
