As the man that I had seen on the little planet was walking towards me I was trying to figure out what I should do. I mean come on he was huge. One good thing about the arcade is that you can't make your hight different from the real world. So when I say a giant I knew that he was really that tall. Now if he was really that muscular I don't know but at the moment I finished thinking of all of this he was right up on me. There was no way I was getting out of this one. 

"Your the dude from the little planet aren't you?" He said having a way huskier tone than I was expecting. 

"And if I am what does that matter to you?" I asked way more sarcastic than I was meaning to be.

"Ok now don't have that tone with me I was just noticing that you cant enter this place because of your mental state can you?" The tall man asked with way too much satisfaction in his voice that he should have. 

"Ok fine no I can't enter because of my headspace. Are you happy now? " I asked starting to get that barking tone again.

"Ok first off this is your second warning don't talk to me with that tone of voice and secondly yes that does make me a little happy it means that you don't have a caregiver yet do you?" He asked with a smile creeping on his face.

Just as he finished saying that My phone started to ring. "Ring ... Ring ... ". I used this to escaped I unlocked the phone not caring who was calling me just glad that they were.

"Ah yes, mister James I have great news for you." It was the lady from the little planet that I had gotten a meeting with. I was surprised that she was calling me back this fast or even at all. 

"Yes?" I asked afraid that I might lose my voice if I got too hopeful. 

"We have found you a caregiver. " As these words left her mouth I couldn't believe my luck had I finally gotten the chance that I was looking for.

"You got really lucky in my opinion the man that wants to be your caregiver just got out of a relationship with his little because she kept hitting him in the balls to the point that it was becoming abusive. " She continued on. 

I couldn't believe my luck this was not like any of my luck before what was different now. That's when it hit me. I turned around to look around at the now smiling handsome man staring back at me. 

"Is this man very handsome, tall, and way too muscular?" I asked with a little fear in my voice.

"Why, yes he is. The best part is he did a body scan for his avatar meaning that when you see him he looks just like that in real life. How did you know what he looked like by the way?" She continued on.

"It's just that I may have already met the man you want me to go meet is all. " I said my fear turning into virtual reality.

That's when the man walked towards me and grabbed my phone I don't know what he did after that but I couldn't hear his conversation at all. He sat there and talked with her for a good five minutes before I could hear the end of their conversation.

"Well thank you, Jill, well be there in a little bit to sign the papers." I heard him say as he closed the phone and gave it back to me. So her name was Jill I missed that. 

"So now you and me need to have a conversation young man." He said with that ever windening smile.
