The first thing that Heather noticed when she woke up in economy class was the splitting headache she had. Part of her deeply regretted drinking as much as she did during the merge party, but at the same time the night was surprisingly fun. Much better than the TDI one and she was eliminated before the merge in TDA.

"What happened last night?" Cody finally groaned, rubbing his head,"My head hurts so bad,"

"Well well, looks like someone is having his first hangover," Duncan called out, walking into economy class with four glasses of water,"Since it technically was me who provided the alcohol I thought that it wouldn't be a bad idea to try and sooth your head aches.

Heather sat up and yawned,"Not so loud..but thanks. This might be the nicest thing you've ever done for us,"

"Okay, it was Courtney's idea for me to check up on you guys. I'm trying to listen to her more often," he confessed and passed Heather one of the glasses.

"You aren't even dating anymore," she took a sip and lightly shook Alejandro to wake him up,"You shouldn't have to listen to her anymore,"

"You know what...you're right. Here," Duncan passed Heather a second cup,"Give this to your boyfriend,"

As Duncan walked off, Heather shoved the glass into Alejandro's hands,"He's NOT my boyfriend!"

Sierra held onto her head,"Can everyone just stop talking! I had way too much to drink. The rumors about merge parties are true, they're crazy,"

Alejandro took a quick drink of the water,"I don't see why you're all not feeling well. I'm feeling fine,"

"How do you not have a hangover?" Heather questioned, swigging as much water as she could until her stomach began to grow sick.

"I just don't get them," he shrugged,"But I can tell you aren't feeling well,"

She stood up and made her way towards the confessional, slamming the door behind her. Heather crouched in front of the toilet and held onto the rim, trying to ignore the smell of sweat and sex inside.

Feeling an instant wave of sickness, Heather threw up in the toilet, being careful that her ponytail didn't fall out. She quickly flushed the toilet and rinsed her mouth out with water from the sink. The second she got out of the confessional, everyone was staring at her.

"What?" she questioned, sitting back down,"Ugh I feel so gross. I wish I didn't drink so much last night,"

Cody finally spoke up again after remaining silent for several minutes,"Seriously Alejandro, you don't even feel sick,"

"Not at all," Alejandro shook his head and watched Heather grab his cup of water.

"Since you obviously don't need it," Heather groaned, taking a small sip,"What does it look like out there?"

Sierra looked out one of the windows,"A lot of mountains...and I think the Great Wall. Probably China,"

After a while, Sierra pulled out her 'laptop' and began typing on it and Blaineley's irritating voice came on the intercom.

"Attention fellow passengers," she announced, causing Heather to roll her eyes,"Feeling alone in the game? Looking for an ally you can call your very own. Consider joining forces with me. You won't regret it! This promise is not legally binding. Offer may be withdrawn at any time,"

"Ugh I want that old blonde hag off the plane," Heather snapped as Cody moved from sitting next to Sierra over by Alejandro and Heather,"And why are you here?"

"You guys gotta help me! Sierra thinks the wedding challenge was real!" Cody answered, the fear in his eyes.

Alejandro smiled at the nerdling,"But it was real,"

"Um," Heather cut him off,"No it wasn't. That would mean they're actually married, Duncan and Courtney are actually married. We're actually married!"

"Stop yelling!" Cody sighed and put his head in his hand,"She wants to throw a reception for us when we get home,"

From a distance, Heather could see Alejandro, Duncan and Cody had crossed the finish line, so she began to run towards them. Being in track her freshman year turned out to work well in her favor during endurance competitions.

As she neared the finish line, Heather tried to slow down, but she couldn't. She went wide eyed and began yelling,"Wh-o-o-o-ah can't stop no TRACTION!" and slammed directly into the gong, her head hitting the ground right by Alejandro.

She sat out of breath and lifted up her feet, revealing the uncomfortable shoes as she pointed to them,"Those shoes are a war crime!"

Chris shrugged at the girl on the floor,"You didn't have to wear them,"

"What!"

"If you had waited for me to announce the rules-"

"Just tell me I beat Blaineley!"

"Sorry to disappoint you sweetie," Blaineley smirked from her rickshaw,"I had the greatest tour ever! The little villages, the rice paddies. I even did a little shopping," she displayed her multiple bags to everyone with a smile.

Alejandro paused and looked at her with an obvious look of confusion,"But...who pulled you?"

"Oh a good reporter never reveals her sources," she answered and looked back at the magazines.

"Um, a little help?!" Heather interrupted everyone on the ground, rubbing her back lightly.

Alejandro extended a hand out for her and she quickly grabbed onto it. He pulled her off the ground and the second she was standing, she took off the shoes.

"How could anyone wear those?!" she complained and grabbed her wedges that were (somehow) fit into her small pockets.

When she got her normal shoes on, Chris lifted up the mallet and turned to the five,"Okay people...it's time to-"

When everyone boarded the plane, Courtney rushed off to the showers so she could get the awful smell of pig shit off her body. Duncan and Blaineley went to economy which left Alejandro and Heather in the commons area with Cody and Sierra.

"I don't know about you two, but I'm voting Courtney," Sierra finally spoke up between them,"She won immunity last week and the week before was barely saved from getting booted. Plus I can tell that Heather has wanted her gone for a while,"

"You've got that right," Heather looked up at Sierra,"I'm down for Courtney to go, but what about Blaineley? She has Chef wrapped around her finger,"

"Duncan is voting for Courtney for sure," Alejandro stated,"But Heather has a point, Chef is directly related to Chris and that gives Blaineley an advantage. I think we should target her. What do you think Cody?"

Cody went wide eyed as he felt surrounded by the two biggest threats to his came and Sierra,"I think that I need to use the restroom,"

The geek stood up and rushed out of the commons area, leaving Sierra to strategize with the devils.

"What if we split the votes 50/50. Because let's face it, even if you have immunity Cody will vote for you Sierra. Courtney and Blaineley obviously won't vote for themselves, but they'll probably vote for me," Heather stopped,"Which would put me in the tiebreaker,"

"Unless…." Alejandro got an idea.

"Unless what?"

"I convince Courtney to vote for Blaineley and Blaineley to vote for Courtney," he answered.

"And if only one votes for the other then they'll be gone," Heather finished,"Then it's settled,"

"Also, I want to propose an idea…" Sierra said before the two could leave,"I'm not usually the type to need security in this game, but we should make a final four deal. You two, Cody and I,"

"Okay, just because I'm voting with Aledevil doesn't mean we are working together," Heather rolled her eyes,"But I guess that if Blaineley goes too then I could use the extra safety. Fine, it's a deal,"

As if the 50/50 idea couldn't have worked out any better, both Courtney and Blaineley would be leaving. For Heather, it was possibly the best elimination, seeing her two biggest threats leaving.

As the two began walking towards the open door, Blaineley stopped,"Not so fast, I have somethings to say first. Ezekiel, he's still hiding in the hold! Sierra, Cody has voted for you every single time, get a clue!"

Sierra and Cody exchanged awkward glances, causing the fangirl to take a huge swig of her tea.

The next thing however, was something that nearly everyone remaining on the plane had wanted to say since the smile in London.

"Heather and Alejandro, just give it up and make out already!"

Everyone stayed silent for a few seconds as Alejandro and Heather turned to each other. Alejandro went wide eyed while Heather kept her shock concealed.

"Can you get her out of here?" Heather questioned in an irritated tone which caused suspicions to rise due to her wanting the subject to change.

Both of them drowned out the rest of the elimination, try to process what Blaineley said. Their thoughts were interrupted by the slam of the door and the absence of Blaineley and Courtney.

"Is it really quiet in here all of a sudden or is it just me?" Cody questioned, before giving the final five a nervous laugh.

"Alright, you're all dismissed for the night," Chris announced,"Sierra and Cody get first class, the rest of you get economy,"

Sierra eagerly grabbed onto Cody and rushed out of the elimination room while Duncan, Heather and Alejandro went later. The three left, Heather trailing behind the two boys. Duncan continued to walk as Alejandro stopped right at the door to the cargo hold. He turned to Heather with a smirk and gestured towards the entrance.

"What makes you so sure that I wanna go in there tonight?" she asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Well, you can't resist me so that may play a huge factor," Alejandro chuckled and grabbed onto her hand,"C'mon, before Duncan notices we are gone,"

Heather bit her lip, then looked back at him,"No sex tonight, just kissing,"

"And why would that be?" he pulled her closer to him.

"Because...after the challenge I got my period," she answered, hoping that he didn't catch her lie"So no sex for you until I'm off,"

Alejandro groaned and noticed that nobody could see them, so he picked up Heather and opened up the door,"Fine, but when you're off,"

"Definately,"

He walked down the stairs and once he reached the bottom, set Heather down. She immediately turned around to face him and connected their lips, her arms finding their way around his neck as she brought her body close to his.

Every few seconds, they would separate and she feel his breath on her lips before reconnecting. Heather's hands felt their way into his hair as one leg was gently wrapped around Alejandro's body. She had began to slightly regret saying that she was on her period, but at the same time people were already raising eyebrows due to what Blaineley had said

She finally pulled away and kept her eyes fixated on him. Her stormy gray into his sea green. It was surely an interesting combination.

"We better go back up before Duncan gets suspicious," she finally said and they both began heading towards the stairs.

But Duncan had every right to be suspicious as he saw the two emerge from the cargo hold, faces lightly flushed.

"Interesting," the punk muttered to himself as the pair sat down in economy.

Five more to go! So excited for everyone to see what happens next in Alejandro and Heather's secret relationship. Well, now the secret is kinda in the open. I hope everyone enjoyed this chapter!
