"Good morning, everyone!" Anakin called through his bullhorn. "Welcome to another fun-filled team-building activity!"

Is everyone excited? No? Ahhh, you're learning.

There were laundry baskets out, along with scooters, and roughly 3,000 plastic balls in the center of the blacktop that totally existed, shhh.

"Today we're playing Hungry, Hungry Hippos," Anakin announced. "Without actual hippos."

Which needed to be pointed out around here. "Because they are mean and not into team sports."

Because he'd called a few zoos to find out.

"We'll have three teams today, of six members each. One member each round will lay stomach down, clutching the laundry basket. The second team member will use their legs to push them into the balls at the center of the arena."

Blacktop. Whatever.

"The team with the most number of balls at the end of six rounds win."

"Listen for your names and retrieve your shirts:

“No!” Duke said, for what felt like the millionth time, and moved to snatch that dynamite from Beaker’s hand. “Bad!”

Duke would not be just artfully singed, Beaker!

"Meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep," Beaker said sulkily.

Duke shoved the dynamite into his back pocket, to be carefully stored somewhere later. (What? That thing could come in handy someday.) "Look," he said, then didn't have anything to follow it up with. He rubbed his hand over his mouth. "Just . . . do your best to push, okay? Without explosives."

"Meep meep meep!" Beaker said, saluting jauntily.

This was going to end in tears.

Honestly, Duke would just be happy if it didn't end in explosions.
