Chapter Seventeen

Bubble the Baby Gimmypug

“Did you see Mobbin’s face when he got out of his pod?” Tenk said, popping open a packet of crisps. “He was absolutely livid!”

“I don’t think you helped his mood by teasing him in front of everyone,” said Tippian.

“Yeah, well the oaf deserved it. He would have done the same to me.”

“I think you took it a bit too far when you threw that chunk of hotdog at him, though,” said Loca.

“Are you kidding? That was the best moment of my life!”

“Seckry, what pop do you want?” Loca said to him. “Red, blue, white, green?”

“I’ll have some blue. Thanks.”

The team had been given access to the Friction training room for two hours for post Meltdown celebrations and the school had provided them with all manner of drinks, sweets, and snacks. They’d also let Eiya in with them as a special guest.

During that time, Kimmy explained to them all how he’d been attacked down his corridor by artificial intelligence robots and had been knocked unconscious which is why the commentators had thought he was out of the game. Then he’d come back around and the bots had disappeared, leaving him to trek through a series of obstacles before finding the gravity gun and retracing his steps with it.

After nearly two hours of talking and laughing and reminiscing about the game, Loca stood up and said, “There’s something I’ve been meaning to do all night.”

“What is it?” Tenk asked.

But Loca said nothing. She put her pop down and slowly made her way over to Kimmy, who was staring at her with glazed eyes. Then she placed her hands on either side of his face and kissed him for what seemed like a lifetime.

When she stopped, everyone was silent. Tenk’s mouth was hanging wide open and Tippian was wiping his glasses and frowning.

“Well done today, Kimmy,” Loca said eventually. “You’re my hero.”

Kimmy stammered and looked as though he was about to faint, but their shock was cut short.

“Well done tonight guys,” said the janitor, poking his head through the door. “You did us proud, but I’m gonna have to close this place up now.”
