You tell the team things aren't looking too hot in the locker room, and they try to cheer you up. They all think you were right in what you did, and you hope for the best.

Most of the team waits with you for the news. Soon enough, Coach comes in and doesn't look too happy. You brace for the worst….

"Look, Candleshaper, you've been suspended. But don't worry, it's only for six months. It isn't that long, and it could have been much worse. Luckily, they saw it in your favor so you're just getting a slap on the wrist. The idiot you laid out is suspended for a year. You really got the better deal."

Six months? That isn't that bad…he's right, it could have been worse. You're not happy, but you're not sad either. You say your goodbyes to the team and they promise to keep in touch, and then you leave.

"Candleshaper! Wait!"

You are right about to go through the door when Coach stops you.

"I know a job that would be perfect for you until you come back."

And that is how you ended up here.

Now We're In The Present
