"Wait, what?" Cam demanded.

"Yes," Erica exulted as she stood up from the sofa, the throw pillow falling to the floor.

"How did that happen?" Cam repeated as he moved to the computer that Erica had not noticed until that point. It appeared that Cam was playing back the game on the television from the computer.

"Why is the game playing off of your computer?" she asked. "Wasn't it live?"

Tom started laughing as Cam inadvertently revealed his ploy. "Damn it! I must have loaded up the wrong game!"

"You tricked me?!" she demanded. Here she was, in her underwear, and Cam had been playing her the entire time. Tom and Alicia didn't seem concerned in the slightest about the situation. "The hell with this." In her opinion, the bet was now off. No way was I going to continue to participate in a bet with a cheat. She turned to Alicia and asked, "did you know?"

"Ever since I joined you guys in the common room," she replied. "If Cam hadn't gone and messed up, we'd have you naked right now."

"The only reason I'm here is because I was meeting up with you!" Erica was feeling completely betrayed. It was time to go. She started to make her way across the common room to grab the clothes she'd left next to the television so she could leave, but stopped abruptly when something unexpected happened.
