A Day in a Merc's life

by Hyphoplayer

19 year old Alex, has kept a story at his back for the past 6 years, and he's going to tell it, and you are going to be the first few to know the story of how a Fictional person goes through life's challenges with the help of Non-fictional people from Valve's 8 year ongoing game: Team Fortress 2.

10. Chapter 10: Rest

It was Christmas eve and everybody just can't seem to wait what's inside their boxes. As we wait patiently for 11 PM, Soldier talks about the problems he and Merasmus had. "So Soldier, what made Merasmus hold such hatred on you?" I asked.

"Well you see, it's kinda "top secret". But since this is about me, I'll just tell it. It's a long time ago, we were room mates once. When he met this guy, he just kicked me out. So when I came back years later, I killed the same room mate he had. He was furious. He went mad. And then he went straight to me and

threate-"

"Ok, I only asked about the start of all these things, not the deeper stuff." I interrupted.

Then a loud ring alerted me. "Ooh! The cookies are ready!" I said. "Cookies?" Engineer asked. "Yeah, you never knew I attend cooking class at school?" I said. "Really now?" Engineer said doubtfully. "Yeah! That's why my bag is big, I bring a bunch of stuff everyday." I explained. I carefully iced the cookies with Red and Yellow. Then I distributed them. "Wow! Dis cookie looks like me!" Heavy exclaimed. "So it is!" Medic confirmed. I drew the faces of every merc in their team on the cookies, since this is a TF2 Christmas for us.

Finally, it was 10 minutes away from 11 PM and we got to open our presents. As I said before, I promised I'd get Engineer a new scarf, so I made him one. I gave it to him. "Heh. Thanks mate." Engineer said. Here comes the interesting part. Remember I said that I predicted Engineer got Medic? Well, I was wrong. He got Soldier instead. I snickered. "Hey, what's wrong?" Soldier asked. "Nothing." I said, still snickering.

"No really, what's wrong?"

"I said it's nothing!"

"Are you serious?"

"Yeah."
"Good."

* Silence *

"AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"

"I KNEW THERE WAS SOMETHING WRONG!"

"WELL I REMEBERED SOMETHING! WHAT'S BAD ABOUT THAT!?"

"THERE IS SOMETHING BAD ABOUT THAT!"
"WELL LET'S HEAR IT!"

While I was still laughing Medic gave his present to Heavy. A teddy bear. "I know. You don't have to apologize doktor." Heavy interrupted Medic before he can even say a word. "I vas in a hurry." Medic explained. Heavy hugged Medic in a warm cuddle. "HEY! WHO WANTS CAKE!?" I said. "Me!" Heavy Medic and Engineer said. "AWW not again!" Soldier said. "I made cupcakes too with the cookies!~" I indulged Soldier. Eventually he ate cake too.

Well sometimes, people do need rest from work too you know?
