Victor and Anita were standing next to each other. The two of them were gazing at an obstacle course rather nervously. They were now wearing a uniform that was green with a grey stripe. It had long sleeves the pants were ankle length. The shoes were like black sneakers. Bunny Wunnykin, Special Agent Ray and Professor Professor were at the other end of the course.
"Victor and Anita, you must go over these bars, go up the tire wall, climb this rope, swing on the flying fox, use martial arts moves on these bad guys (he pointed to seven life-sized cardboard cut-outs) and then you walk this balance beam," Bunny Wunnykin instructed.
Victor gulped and Anita bit her lip. It was Victor who was first. A horn sounded and Victor began the course. He struggled with two of the bars, the tire wall was exhausting, the rope climb wasn't too bad, the flying fox was easy, he used a karate-chop to defeat four of the baddies and nearly lost his balance of the beam. He made it to the other side and Ray stopped the stopwatch.
"Two minutes 45 seconds," he said.
Anita's turn was next.
"Good luck!" Victor shouted and Anita smiled.
The horn sounded and Anita went over the bars easily, she climbed the wall with no signs of tiredness, the rope climb was easy, flying fox was simple, since she was good at martial arts all seven baddies were defeated thanks to her high-kick, the beam was the easiest thing since she had competed in the gymnastic events at the World Olympics.
"Two minutes and 15 seconds," Ray said when she finished.
Anita saw Victor give her a little clap. She walked over to him
"Thanks. You did really well, Victor," Anita said to him
"Oh come on! I was lousy," he said, disappointment and frustration written all over his face.
"You were only thirty seconds behind me," she said placing a hand on his shoulder.
Victor smiled.
