Vegas Baby

The Screaming Patriots were not having a good time. {Izzy: Wheee! This is fun! *Swerves* Hey watch it you piece of ****! Yeah that's right I'm talkin' to you *******!} Leshawna was trying to take a nap when Izzy swerved and threw her off the bed. "Izzy what the heck are you doing?" She called up to the front.

"Hang on I gotta go kick this guy's butt." Izzy replied. She pulled over and got out. Connor took the opportunity. He got up and ran to the front seat, started the RV and took off. {Connor: Okay, maybe leaving Izzy behind wasn't too good for team morale, but you saw how she was driving! She's nuttier than my uncle Leroy when he's at a hockey game and the ref makes a bad call. *Noise from the back* What was that?}

What it was was Izzy had climbed up on top of the RV and was holding on for dear life. "You won't get rid of me that easy!" She yelled over the roar of the wind.

Meanwhile in Vegas, Chris and the other team had been waiting for a full hour waiting for the Patriots to show up. "Well," Chris said I guess they aren't-"

"WAAAAAIIIIIT!" Connor yelled as the Patriots' RV pulled in. "Screaming Patriots reporting for challenge."

"Cuttin' it a bit close there Connor." Chris chided "Oh well, on with the challenge."

Everyone filed out of the RV and Izzy climbed down from the top. Her hair was in a friz and her knuckles were white from having to hold on to the top for so long. She walked up to Connor and said "You tried to leave me behind, you made me have to climb on to the back of the RV, and you made me stay up there, hanging on for dear life, for an hour! I have just one thing to say to you."

{Connor: I waited for what would come next. A slap to the face? A kick to the kiwis? No. She did something totally different.} She started laughing and hugged Connor. "That was awesome! I've never had that big of an adrenaline rush!"

"Um, you're welcome?"

"Enough chatty-chat," Chris exclaimed, "on with the challenge!" He led them inside Caesar's Palace and through the casino to a specific machine. "Vegas is known for three things: gambling, hotels, and marriage. But, since we've already done a marriage challenge, we're sticking with the first two. The first part of the challenge is this: each member of the Screaming Patriots will take a turn on this slot machine. Whatever the spinner lands on will be their task for the next challenge. Killer Pioneers, since you arrived first, once the Patriots are done, you each can choose which of them you wanna compete with. Clear? Okay. Connor you have first spin."

Connor pulled the lever and the slot spun. {Connor: I had no idea what the challenges were, but I did see a thing with a picture of a tiger on it sooooo fingers crossed I don't get that.} He got that. "Dang it!" He exclaimed.

"Connor, you will be participating as an entertainer." He breathed a sigh of relief. "You have three hours to come up with an act." {Connor: This is actually something I'm good at. I was born to entertain!} "Alejandro, you're next."

Everyone spun the wheel. Alejandro got concierge, Izzy got bellhop, Gwen got daycare, Ted got housekeeping, Tyler got cook, Leshawna got lifeguard, and Cody got waiter. "And now the Pioneers can choose who they'll face. Heather, pick your match."

"Cook!" Heather said immediately. {Owen: Dang it!}

"Sierra, your-"

"I choose to be with Cody!" {Cody: Dang it!}

In the end the pairs were Heather vs Tyler, Sierra vs Cody, Gwen vs Lindsay, Izzy vs Owen, Harold vs Alejandro, Courtney vs Connor, Duncan vs Leshawna, and Robin vs Ted. Chris then escorted them, for some reason, out of the hotel and across the street to another building. "I thought we were working in a hotel." Connor said.

"Yes," Chris said, "just not that hotel. Behold…" A large banner was lifted off of the front entrance to reveal the name of the hotel, "Hotel Wawanakwa!"

They screamed.
