Your Fifteen Minutes of Fame

As you and Albert leave the ring, the other morphs excitedly gather around you, asking questions and offering compliments. Some ask to feel your muscles; others want to have their pictures taken with you. The bear and gorilla masseurs come forward and present you and Albert with complimentary "Jungle Gym" t-shirts and baseball caps. All the attention leaves you feeling a bit dazed. It's like being a celebrity!

Later on, however, as you and Albert are showering off, you become very quiet and thoughtful.

"Something wrong?" the gator asks.

"Kind of," you reply evasively. "I mean, I don't want to sound stuck up or anything, but I was sure that--with all this extra muscle--I would beat you without even trying."

Unable to think of an appropriate response, Albert changes the subject. "So," he asks, "have you done enough showing off for one day?"

"Yeah," you sigh. "I guess my fifteen minutes of fame are over. Let's go home."
