The game's conclusion

Dana wins

Everything was set up for the final round. If Dana won, she would get her promotion - and if she lost, she would lose the last item of clothing protecting her modesty. The rally was long and hard-fought, both competitors giving it their all.

SNAP!

In an instant, the puck was inside one of the goals. For a moment, both competitors were too stunned to react as they checked who had won the final point.

It was Dana.

She let out a large hooray sound as she jumped high, punching the air. For a brief moment, her t-shirt was almost up to her boobs, giving everyone around her a glimpse of the goods. She didn't care though; she had won, and the promotion was hers! The crowd around the table was applauding, although perhaps not with full enthusiasm - Dana had no doubts they would rather have seen her naked instead.

Dana looked over to see Vince slumped in a corner, disappointed. She walked up to him - and surprising even herself - extended a hand, congratulating him for a game well played. She could see that he was surprised, likely expecting a taunt or a disparaging remark.

He shook her hand, saying "Well played." There was an awkward silence as they both looked at each other, unsure what to say.

"So, you're going to recommend me for the promotion now, right?", said Dana, searching for something to break the silence.

"As much as it hurts me, I'm a man of my word." Vince pulled out his phone from his pocket, showing her an email addressed to Amanda and Jim. As they had agreed upon, it recommended Dana for the promotion while requesting he not be considered for the role. He pressed "Send".

"Well, thanks.", Dana said awkwardly. She didn't expect it to go this smoothly - Vince might have been a jerk to her before, but it was clear that he respected her now. There was another awkward silence.

"Soooo, can I have my clothes back?", she asked sheepishly.

Vince smiled devilishly. "I won them fair and square. They were 'mine to keep', remember?"

Son of a gun, thought Dana. Through clever use of words, he had managed to gain a small victory over her anyway. Still, this wasn't enough to ruin her spirits. She decided to fully celebrate her win, mingling with her colleagues as they played everything the arcade had to offer. She was a big hit in Dance Dance Revolution, no doubt due to her t-shirt's tendency to ride up whenever she jumped.

As the night ended, Dana felt good. This day at the arcade story would be an office legend, a story retold for years - and she was the one who had come out on top.

What's next at Acropolis?
