The classy music woke me up and I groaned in response. I must have had a late sleep in. Why did no one wake me up?


I opened my eyes and heard 456, 218 and 199 talking in the bed across from me, talking about a training camp.


"Were like a bunch of soldiers ar training camp, huh?" said 456.
"At training camp is what?" asked 199, with a confused face.
"You know, it's like the army. Shooting guns," replied 456.
"Oh! Soldiers all training together?'' questioned 199. 456 nodded while 218 stared at 199 with a disapproving look.
''Wait a minute. Since we're on the subject now, you should join me. We should just form our own team, don't you think?'' exclaimed 456.
''We don't know what game they'll have us play next. It wouldn't hurt to be in a group so we're ready for anything," said 218 while looking at them both.
''Hey, you should join up with us. I mean, we already know he's crazy strong. You saw it. He lifted me up with one hand like it was nothing at all!" 456 said happily.
"You mean... that you.. I can join you?" stuttered 199 as if he couldn't believe what they were saying.
"Oh, yeah, sure. Uh, so then, you'll be the new recruit. He's the skilled corporal, and that means I'm a sergeant," explained 456 and pointed to each of them. 199 thanked them and that's when the old man spoke up and said, "Excuse me. But if you don't mind, can I join up with you all?"
''Yeah me to?" I asked and they all looked at me.
"Yeah of course! And you can be the... Hold on... So you can be the old major who's been in the army his entire life. And you can be 2nd in command!" 456 said while smiling. We both thanked him and had a small chat before the doors opened.


"Please form 4 orderly lines so that we may deliver you lunch," said Boss as he stepped forwards. And that's what we did. I ended up being at the back of the line. Again. Why am I always at the back? Then some more of the guards weeled in 4 trolleys each piled with metal boxes.


I finally had my lunch and went to sit with my new friends. When I opened it, I saw that inside was an warm egg, hot rice and some vegetables. There was also a spork layed length way across the food. When I looked at theirs to see if there's was the same and I turned out that theirs was stone cold. Realising what the guards had done, I looked over at them and gave them one of my warmest smiles.


The next day, the womans voice sounded again and said, "Attention. It is now time for breakfast. All players form a line in the center of the room." I was already awake this time and was chatting with 456,199 and 218. I got to the line and was more or less in the middle of the queue this time. Yay for me! For breakfast, they served us a piece of pastry in a plastic wrapper and a bottle of milk. I was very happy with this but reminded me of my childhood. When I was still with my mum and dad, we always had something similar to this.


I was about half way done with mine when 456, 218 sat down with me and 199.
"Hey sir. Why aren't you eating that?" Asked 199 and 118 picked up the pastry.
"Have it."
"Do you mean it?"
"I don't eat most mornings," explained 118 as handed 199 the food. He thanked him and that's when 456 offered him his bottle of milk. He was very grateful to them and started eating the extra food. This brought a smile to my face to see that they were all getting along with each other.
"You know, geniuses never eat much," said 456 and the conversation continued from there.
