Larry tried a third time to pull Margo's leg down, but couldn't budge it.Larry tried a third time to pull Margo's leg down, but couldn't budge it. At that point Margo tired of the game and utilized the strength in her enormous leg to effortlessly flip Larry over onto his head. As his feet touched the floor, he heard Dominique once again call, "THE WINNER!" Embarrassed, he rolled over and watched Margo stand over him with her arms raised in victory. "Time, twenty-one seconds," said Dominique, punching her stop watch. "Margo now leads two to zero." Larry started to sit up, but Margo put her foot on his chest and forced him back down to the mat. "Hey, cut it out!" he sputtered. Margo removed her foot from his chest and leaned down. "What are you going to do about it, Shrimp?" she asked. When Larry didn't answer, she laughed and walked over to the chalkboard, where she placed another mark under her name. Dominique stood over Larry. "Would you get up please? We have to get ready for the tug of war." She extended her huge right hand. Larry reached up and she grabbed him, her hand nearly encircling his forearm. Dominique pulled and Larry found himself heaved to his feet. Dominique laughed at the expression on his face, then released his arm and waved her assistants into the ring. Larry stumbled out of the ring. The last contest hadn't taken that much out of him, but he was disconcerted by the ease of Margo's victory, and frightened by the obvious power she possessed. He decided to give up and admit her superior strength, hoping to prevent pain and further humiliation. Margo was sipping some water and toweling off her face. Larry approached her, realizing for the first time just how wide her shoulders were. "Margo," he began, "uh, I'm sorry I doubted you were stronger than me. I concede, you win." Margo turned and scowled menacingly. "Oh, no you don't, you wimpy little shit. You agreed to all this, and you're not getting off that easy. I'm going to beat you in all the other contests, too." She smiled tauntingly. "Besides, it's only two to nothing, you've still got a chance to win if you beat me three in a row. |
