Luke in the meantime had gone over to the fields where the football and soccer players were practicing. He had chatted with some of the guys to see what was going on. One of them mentioned that the track teams would start soon, and that the rest of them would have to wait in the bleachers for them to finish.
Luke knew that was when he would strike. He hid behind the bleachers as football and soccer players took their seats. Although the benches were large, they weren't big enough to fit both teams comfortably, so both teams were mixed together and pressed up against each other. No one seemed to notice Luke, or the fact that he was secretly fusing some of the guys together from under their seats. He couldn't just openly merge people like Max had done to Brian and Nick; Luke had to fuse just the legs or sides of the guys who were close enough they wouldn't notice. Some of them were in pairs, others were in threes or fours.
Luke was just about to head back when he noticed Kevin and Dean having to sit almost on top of each other. Kevin was the captain of the football team, while Dean was captain on the soccer team. The two of them had never gotten along, and had even broken out into a few fist fights. Once was during class when they had to stand beside each other and work together to give a presentation. Luke was not going to miss this opportunity!
Luke carefully slipped his hands into their backs, and very slowly let their bodies merge together by themselves, so that they wouldn't be able to feel it. When Luke had finished, Kevin and Dean had three legs, and were merged up their side until the ribs. Luke pulled his arms out of their backs and did his best not to crack up. He had walked away an was almost in the tree line when he heard some shouting behind him.
By the time Luke had turned around to see his handy work, the shouting had turned into yelling and swearing! Everyone had jumped and ran form their seats. Everyone except the conjoined guys, who had fallen over and were now yelling as they pushed and shoved each other to no avail.
Luke glanced over at Kevin and Dean and broke into tears from laughing. They looked like they were about to rip apart from all the pushing they were doing. Both of them were screaming, and throwing a few punches and trying to kick each other.
It only got better when the coaches of the teams tried to pull the two apart, only to see they had been merged. Luke quickly jumped into the trees when he thought Dean and Kevin had seen him. He quickly ran back to his car laughing all the way.
By the time he got back to his car, Luke could see that everyone who had been merged had been sent inside the gym beside the lake, while everyone else was sent home. Luke continued to chuckle to himself when he heard someone coming from one of the trails. He looked over and saw Max, followed closely by someone who looked like Brian and Nick.
