Ms. Pauling was understandably surprised. When she was taken away, she did not expect that she would have to do a challenge. And she also did not know that she had to wear an evening dress for it. "What's going on?"
"I'm so glad you asked!" The Gamer's called made Ms. Pauling turn around. With a snap of his fingers, a light turned on, revealing a table, with candlelit dinner, and Scout sitting there in a three-piece suit. "What…is…..that?"
"Your dinner, as well as your challenge. Don't worry, it's not the real Scout, it's just a copy. But your challenge is still the same. Survive a date with him!" The Game took a moment to enjoy the look of shock on Ms. Pauling's face. "So, off you go, and good luck! Nee hee heeeeeeeee…"
A half-hour later, Ms. Pauling reappeared with the other mercs. Before they could ask how she did, she just walked up to Scout and punched him out cold. "I think it went rather well."
"It's as you said, Spy." The Gamer grabbed everyone's attention. "All of you have passed your challenges, so you get the wish! Now, what will it be?"
"Bigger guns!"
"Fire!"
"Ahl tha whiskey ya ca' drink!"
"How about a decent paycheck?"
Their squabbling went on until Ms. Pauling couldn't take it anymore. "Ugh, I wish you guys would shut up for just 5 minutes!" She slapped her hand on her mouth when she heard herself, but it was too late. "Wish granted." The mercs all fell silent, unable to speak no matter how hard they tried. "Don't worry, it's only for 5 minutes." Sending them away back to their world, he went back to his journal. "They were able to meet my expectations. For the time I got them from was when they were about to do battle with Grey Mann and his robots army. If I left it alone, they would be wiped out in a day. With disguised training, both physical and mental, they now have the strength to survive the challenges ahead. From Grey, or anyone. But for now, I must start planning out my next game…."
