FREEDOM! Wait, why would you pick this?

The wheel slowly clicked to a stop. The pointer rested on the word that made Emily's heart skip a beat. Somehow, by the luck of the century, it landed on "FREEDOM!" Emily instantly yelled in delight and clapped her hands. The studio audience, however, was dead quiet.

"What? For real?" the orb asked. "I know I let the wheel spin on it's own...but for real?"

"You know the rules!" Emily called. "You have to let me go!"

The orb cast his eyes to the side for a moment before puckering his lips.

"Nah, not gonna do it." he said.

Emily pounded on the podium. "That's not fair! You said you would follow the rules!"

"Yeeeeessss," the orb said. "but I was trying to teach you a lesson, not let you off free."

"So you're going to spin it again, like a cheater?"

"I won't cheat...but I will erase your memory and reverse time so we can do this again."

"How is that not cheating?"

"It isn't cheating if you don't remember!" The orb smiled. Emily was about to yell again, but his floating hands appeared again. They clapped together twice.
