A Whole Lotta Waiting Part 2
In San Francisco, the Jocks and British Royals were already plummeting towards the waters. Their screams could be heard from both ends of the Golden Gate Bridge.
Eventually, they reached the boats' flags…
"Alright!" exclaimed Patrick, "Let's grab that thing!"
"No worries…" Elizabeth said, but her facial expression made it seem like she was really nervous she might drop it.
She made a few attempts to push herself to grab the flag off the mast, as the boat the mast was on was slowly moving. But she wasn't able to get a grip.
"Need a push?" asked Patrick.
"Uh… you know what?" Elizabeth thought about it, "Sure…" She was given a firm push by her Irish-heritage boyfriend, and she managed to grab the flag off the mast.
"Got it!" Elizabeth exclaimed.
"Ahahaha!" Patrick let out a hearty laugh, "You did it my love! Now, let's get back up!"
As the Royals were being launched back up, the Jocks noticed their boat was slowly floating away. Tyler and Oscar were holding onto each other, when Tyler thought of an idea.
"I've thought of something, dude!" he told his partner, "Okay, I'll hang onto your legs…"
"Um, why?" asked a curious Oscar.
"Why don't we reenact trapeze?" Tyler suggested.
"TRAPEZE?!" Oscar cried out in disbelief, worried that it might not end well, "What if something bad happens?!"
"Nothing bad's gonna happen." Tyler said, "After all, we're being held with bungee cords. I'll go down and just let me hold your legs!"
Oscar rolled his eyes, as the jock in red leapt down and grabbed onto his partner's legs.
"Now what?"
"This…" Tyler started swinging, as he was inching closer towards the flag. Just then, he started to lose his grip on his partner's legs, causing him to fall upside down.
"Tyler!" yelled Oscar.
But Tyler clung onto Oscar's legs by wrapping his legs around. He continued swinging, just as he got near the flag. His left arm reached out and he grabbed the flag!
"GOTCHA!" Tyler exclaimed, only to lose his grip on the flag, "Oh no!"
The flag was flying around in the air, and Tyler wasn't able to reach it with his hands. Having no other choice, he opened his mouth…
And he bit down on the flag. He looked up, "Get us back up!" he said, still biting the flag. Within a second, he and Oscar were swiftly carried back up to the bridge.
Back on the bridge, everyone else was still waiting for another boat with a 'RR' flag on it. Meanwhile, the Jocks and British Royals were at a bus stop off the bridge, waiting.
Meanwhile, at Yosemite, the Maple Scouts were next to take off. Percy looked up to see what was going on, as the Pizza Sisters had just left.
They could hear a, "WOOHOOOOOOO!", from a certain young blonde. They see a pink and red-striped hang glider flying over the valley.
*CON: Arnold & Percy - Maple Scouts*
"And we all thought that they were total goners." said Percy, "But y'know, sometimes you need one push back up, and then you're flying to the gold!"
Arnold makes plane noises as he stretches his arms out and starts running around as if he were flying.
*END CON: Arnold & Percy - Maple Scouts*
The Pizza Sisters were flying across in their hang glider.
"Man!" exclaimed Lorraine, "I feel so alive!"
"Do you feel that, Lori?" asked an excited Tracy, "It's adrenaline flowing through your blood! Pretty neat, huh?"
Lorraine let out a laugh, "Definitely!"
The Maple Scouts charged towards the cliff holding onto their turquoise hang glider. They jumped up and started flying over the sights of Yosemite. Both of them were cheering as they were airborne.
The rest of the 'No Wait' teams looked on, impressed.
"For a bunch of kids, they have a ton of guts." V made a comment. A few teams nodded in agreement.
The Young Farmers were holding onto their dark blue and orange-striped hang glider. They charged towards the cliff and they leapt…
"YEAH!" / "FOR COURTNEY!" Scott and Rodney said simultaneously, as their glider started flying over the valley.
Meanwhile, the Pizza Sisters saw a tall flag with the 'RR' initials, identical to the flags on the boat masts in San Francisco.
"There's the flag! Let's land this thing!" Lorraine told her sister.
"Not if we pass you!" Arnold told them as he and Percy were flying faster than them.
Soon, they landed on the landing pad, dropped their hang gliders, and dashed towards the tall 'RR' flag, hoping to claim a tip off of it. The flag was quite a dash from the pad, but the first team to make it to the flag was…
The Maple Scouts! Tracy and Lorraine were huffing from the run.
"Okay, read it!" Arnold told his partner.
There was a split screen of Percy in Yosemite, and Tyler and Elizabeth in San Fran, as they all read, "'Head to the Los Angeles area…'"
The scene cuts to Don, who was standing in the middle of a street, with the Los Angeles skyline in the distance. "Once teams have finished their tasks in their respective areas, they will either fly, or take a train down to Los Angeles, the City of Angels, even though most of the people I've met here are anything but."
"What'd you say, punk?!" a man's voice bellowed offscreen, scaring Don, causing the host to yelp and run offscreen to the left.
The next scene cuts to Don, who was standing in front of an amusement park, "Teams must make it to this amusement park, where their next challenge will take place! And depending on what teams have chosen on the Travel/Or, they will either have to wait in line…" The camera pans to a crowd of people getting in line to the park, "Or…"
Percy held up two tickets as Tracy was reading her and Lorraine's tip, "Take the Line-Skipper, where you can skip any of the lines, including the entrance." Percy read.
"Small world!" exclaimed Arnold.
"Nice!" Lorraine pointed out.
"Yes!" Tracy said, "Now come on, we can't waste these!"
Back at the Golden Gate Bridge, the Town Heroes were next to perform the challenge as they were being lowered to get their tips from the boats' mast. Meanwhile, the Jocks and British Royals were waiting for a bus.
"Man, I wish we went to Yosemite…" said Tyler as he reread the tip.
"Yeah…" nodded Oscar, "But hey, at least we're going to an amusement park to ride some rides… even if they are part of a challenge."
The camera pans to the British Royals, "We're going to an amusement park?" asked Elizabeth.
"Oh yes!" Patrick exclaimed, "You'll love it! It's like riding a horse, but it's better!"
"Well if you say so!"
*CON: Patrick & Elizabeth - British Royals*
"I never thought I'd say this but… bungee jumping made me feel so alive!" Elizabeth cheered, as she jumped up and down, "I can't wait to go to my first amusement park! How I cherish their amazing thrills I never have a chance to go to!"
Patrick let out a snicker.
*END CON: Patrick & Elizabeth - British Royals*
Just then, a bus arrives at the bus stop, where the two teams in the lead ran inside for the bus. Running to the stop were the Town Heroes, where they saw the bus' doors still open.
"Awesome!" stated Lewis, "We're ready to get-"
Suddenly, the bus' doors closed. "WHAT?!" cried Lewis.
Within seconds, the bus started driving out of the bus stop, leaving the bewildered Town Heroes in the dust.
Tyler stuck his head out of the window, "See ya on the other side!" he told them, before getting hit in the back of the head by a sign.
Meanwhile, Harvey went to look at a schedule nearby. He read the timetables, before pointing to something in the middle.
"Okay, so we're gonna have to wait another ten to fifteen minutes for the next bus to come." the firefighter said. He walked back to Lewis, "If we play our cards right, we could at least make it back into the front of the competition."
"Yes, but what about our alliance-mates?" asked Lewis.
"Don't worry about them." said Harvey, "Assuming they're doing great in Yosemite, they'll at least make it in the Top 10. Also, let's just assume this is going to be a non-elimination round…"
"Yeah?" asked Lewis, "But what if it's not?"
"Well…" Harvey started thinking, "I mean come on, do you think two hockey players and two totally awesome brothers are gonna flunk up and get eliminated?"
"I don't know, Harv." Lewis said, as he sat on a bench, "The Tennis Rivals and Geniuses were two teams I thought would make a long shot in the first season. Look how they turned out…"
Harvey let out a sigh and nodded, "I see…", as he sat next to his partner on the bench.
Back at Yosemite, the Bullies and All-Star Hockey Players were racing in the airs, both teams glaring at each other.
"Oh look, the MVPs are in our way!" taunted Molly.
"Oh shove it, you inconsiderate jerks!" growled Willis, "You two do not know anything of good sportsmanship!"
"Who says we have to?" asked Lance, as he and Molly leaned forward for their hang glider to fly down to the launching pad.
Willis growled as he saw them pull ahead.
*CON: Willis & Fredrik - All-Star Hockey Players*
"I wouldn't mind, but Lance and Molly are totally a bunch of eyesores…" said Willis, "They always do whatever they want, all while being the smug little snakes they are and rubbing everything in their faces." Willis let out a huge sigh, "They really do remind me of Jacques and Josee…"
*END CON: Willis & Fredrik - All-Star Hockey Players*
Meanwhile, the Young Farmers, who had already landed their hang glider, ran towards the flag.
"Come on, Rodney!" Scott told his partner, "If we can make it to our next place, we could bump ourselves into first!"
"Nice!" cheered Rodney, "Nothing's gonna stop us!"
On cue, however, Fang jumps in front of the Young Farmers. Both boys gasped as they saw the terrifying creature grin sinisterly towards them.
"NO!" Scott screamed, "Not now!"
Fang walked towards the team, as they were both quivering in fear, stepping back. But Fang was still locking eyes on them, ready to make a yummy snack out of them.
"RUN FOR IT!" screamed Scott, as he and Rodney ran through the land, forgetting that they had to grab a tip from the flag.
Back at the landing pad, the Bullies had pushed aside their hang glider. They hear Scott and Rodney's screams.
"What the hell was that?" asked Lance.
"Nevermind that." said Molly, "C'mon, we've got to catch up!"
Just then, they hear a loud, "Incoming!" from Fredrik, as he and Willis were coming in high towards the teens. The teens ran off without a hitch towards the flag, just as the All-Star Hockey Players landed.
Taking the hang glider off, Willis leered towards the teens running towards the flag, "They're slick, but we won't back down!" he said.
"Exactly!" said Fredrik, "Let's go!" He and his partner speed after to catch up.
Meanwhile, the Young Farmers were still running away from Fang, screaming. Fang pushed his head to grab a nibble off of Scott, only for Scott to push ahead and run, flailing his arms around.
They kept running for a few minutes, before they came to a taxi, where the Maple Scouts and Pizza Sisters were waiting.
"Run! RUUUUNN!" yelled Scott, "There's a mutant shark chasing me and Rodney!"
Both teams looked at each other, confused on what he meant. "What mutant shark?" asked Tracy.
Scott and Rodney pointed to where they ran, only for there to be no shark in sight. "It was chasing us a few minutes ago!" Rodney argued, "It was big, walked on two legs, and it wore a scary face! Scott can tell you the rest!" He pointed to his partner.
"He ate me back in Revenge of the Island!" Scott agreed.
"Are you two on LSD?" Lorraine asked, a hand on her hip.
"I dunno…" said a wary Percy, "I mean, I watched Revenge, and Scott was put in a Trauma Chair. How bad was it?"
"Ugh! It was humiliating!" Scott exclaimed, "Everyone laughed at me!"
"Well… you kinda deserved it that season…" said Arnold, "You were the bad guy for that season, and you did throw away B, Dawn, and Mike."
"I'm a better person now!" Scott argued, "And besides, if you were stuck in the Trauma Chair, would you even have sympathy, even if you were the bad guy?"
"He does have a point, Arnold," Percy agreed with Scott, "Even though he was twisted, he didn't deserve to be laughed at by the rest of the cast." He turned to Scott, "Sorry about what happened, Scot…"
Scott let out a sigh, "Whatever… They were a bunch of meanies, so… I guess that's what happens when you're the challenge-thrower…"
Suddenly, the three teams hear rustling from where Scott and Rodney came out.
The Young Farmers were immediately scared. "Fang!" Scott's mind immediately went, "He caught up to us!"
Rodney, in a panic, turned to the other teams, "Where are we going next?"
"You mean you don't know?!" Tracy exclaimed in disbelief.
"LA-area, an amusement park." Arnold stated.
"We're probably going to Anaheim." agreed Percy.
Just then, a taxi pulled up in front of the teams, to which the Young Farmers immediately went and told the driver to head to Anaheim, and for him to step on it.
Before anyone could say anything, the taxi drove off in a hurry, sputtering out smoke from its engine, getting both teams to cough.
The two teams here rustling, and they turn to see a squirrel coming out of the bushes.
"What the heck was all that about?" asked Tracy, "They hear rustling, and they immediately jump that it's a mutant shark?"
"Huh…" said Percy, "I guess they must've had a huge panic…"
In the taxi, Scott and Rodney were getting settled, relieved to be away from Yosemite. "Great…" said Scott, "We're finally away from that scary thing…"
"I know…" said Rodney, "I haven't seen that much scary since the Corn Monster they have at the Farmers Market every Halloween…"
"It's just an inflatable…" Scott told him.
"I know, but it's still scary…" Rodney sighed. A few seconds pass by, and he thinks of something different, "Y'know, I can't help that we forgot something back there…"
"Hey, if you forgot it, it probably wasn't all that important…" Scott argued.
"Yeah, you're right." (1)
Meanwhile, the Punks, Lesbians and Brothers had each gotten tips from the flag.
"No way!" exclaimed Seren, "We're going to an amusement park?!"
"Yes, yes…" said a sarcastic Wyvern, "We're probably going to that park where they repeat the same songs over and over again… Whoop-de-doo…" He sarcastically raised a fist. V nodded in fake approval.
"Aw, don't worry amigos," said Jose, "We have a Line-Skipper. As soon as we get to the Chill Zone, we'll no doubt be on top! Andale!" He, Alejandro, and the other two teams dashed out of the valley to get somewhere else.
"As the final 'No Wait' teams have finished the All-In…" Don narrated.
It cuts to San Francisco's Golden Gate Bridge, where the Opposing Roommates and BFFFLs are already going to claim their flag from the boats.
"We see our 'Wait' teams finally performing their challenge!"
"Okay, Kat!" Olivia told her, "Just put me down a little more… And then I can get the-"
"Got it!" Katie exclaimed, holding the flag in her hands. She turned her head up to Sadie, "Let's get back to the bridge and get outta here!" She and her best friend were swiftly hoisted back up.
"Ugh…" growled Katherine, "No way…"
"Kat, put me down!" Olivia inquired.
"I got it…" groaned Katherine, as she dropped Olivia for her to hang on her legs. Then when the boat was getting closer to her, Olivia reached out and grabbed the flag from the mast.
Olivia turned up to her partner, "Alright! Let's get back up!" She and Katherine were immediately hoisted up.
The camera cuts to the rest of the 'Wait' teams, still waiting for the opportunity to shine.
"Other teams, however, are in for an even longer wait…" Don added.
Shannon and Narissa observe the BFFFLs and Opposing Roommates reading their tips and leaving the Bridge. "Great." pouted Shannon, "Now how long are we gonna wait until we see another boat?"
"I have no idea, girlfriend…" Narissa added.
"Least when we find it, it'll be an easy task to go and grab it…" said Terrence.
Carla's head whipped towards her ex-boyfriend, "Yeah?" she questioned, "You wanna bet, and see how easy it is? Or do you think it might not be. After all, it was my idea to sign up for this race, right?"
Immediately, there was tension swirling around. "Shut up, Carla!" Terrence snarled.
"Well, I thought you didn't want to race!" Carla fired back.
"Well, I don't care about this race, but-"
"Then why are we still here?!" Carla got into his face.
"'Cause I don't like throwing competitions!" Terrence snapped, "I honor them, even if I hate doing it…" He pointed to his ex-girlfriend, "You, on the other hand, once wanted my team to forfeit one game!"
Carla let out a high-pitched groan, "That was last year, and you were getting destroyed at home!"
"Least I want to finish things honorably!" Terrence retorted.
Suddenly, Gwen steps in front of them, "Oh for the love of all things merrier…" she groaned, "Will you two just STOP YELLING AT EACH OTHER?!"
"You stay out of this, freaky!" Carla hissed at her.
"Hey! Leave her alone!" This time, Courtney intervened.
"You're not the boss of ME!" Carla yelled at her, "NONE OF YOU ARE!" This got Terrence to facepalm.
"Carla, stop it!" That time, Giulietta rushed in, "You and Terrence need to stop fighting with each other, and talk to each other like mature people! You're like seventeen, not seven!"
Carla crossed her arms, "Okay, first of all, I'm eighteen!" she hissed at the counselor, "Second of all, I don't NEED to talk to Terrence! He said I'm a problem, and now…" Her anger quickly subsided into sadness, "Now… Now I don't know if we can rekindle what we've lost anymore…" She pushed the Unlikely Best Friends aside, "Excuse me…"
Terrence's eyebrow rose in annoyance, "Where are you going?!" he asked.
"I'm not doing this stupid All-In!" Carla argued, taking her bungee equipment off, "You wanna do this challenge, I don't care! But if you wanna continue being in this race, you can do it without me!" Without another word, she ran off the bridge.
The rest of the teams looked at Terrence, who rolled his eyes. "She's gonna throw challenges just to spite me now?!" he cried in disbelief, "Y'know what, if I hadn't dumped Carla yesterday, I would've done it the second she's started mistreating me!"
"Terrence, listen." Guilietta tried to tell him, "I know you're going through hardships after you and Carla broke up, but I think you two have to set up a meeting with each other and talk about your feelings."
"Like hell I'm gonna!" Terrence argued, "She'll never listen to me! And I don't wanna hear another word she has to say!" He spotted a boat with a 'RR' flag on its mast. "Well, I'm not wasting anymore time thinking about that spoiled brat… Later…" He jumped down the bridge to collect the flag.
This left the remaining three teams shaking their heads in disbelief.
"Huh, dude has a tough life ahead of him." said a nonchalant Shannon, "Doubt he and Princess Sadface will tie the knot by the end of this…"
"They're not gonna get married…" Luke told her.
"Relax, slackoff," Shannon hissed at him, "I ain't talking about that!" She started thinking about something, "Though, I doubt they'd even tie that knot."
"I don't normally talk about other people," Luke stated, "But I just feel bad for Terrence. With all the mistreatment Carla gave him, and now she's just gonna throw ship just to spite him… She does realize that they're gonna get a penalty for that, right?"
"Correctamundo, Luke!" Giulietta said with a smile.
"Huh, normally if someone gets something right, they'd get a cookie." Gwen poked.
"That's what happened back in elementary school for me." Courtney made a comment, "Then every teacher stopped doing that after I graduated from there."
"Well, regardless," Gwen focused the conversation back on the Homecoming Couple, "I think that they can't just give each other the cold shoulder for long, and they should just talk to each other about what's wrong." Courtney looked at an unnoticing Gwen, with a slight glimmer of hope in her eyes.
Giulietta nodded, "Right." she said, "And if they don't feel like they want to be friends, let alone make up, they don't have to do anything with each other anymore. I know it's gonna be hard to get them together, but what else do they have to lose?"
"A chance for a million g's?" snarked Narissa, getting her partner to laugh along with her.
Luke and Giulietta looked at each other, as did Courtney and Gwen, and they all nodded along, "Yeah. A million g's…" agreed Giulietta.
Gwen let out a stretch, "Man… We're all here talking about the Homecoming Couple's dysfunctionalities… I almost forgot what we were supposed to do…"
Luke looked over… "Look!" he pointed out, "More boats!"
The camera shifts parallel to the teams on the bridge, where they see three more boats coming from the San Francisco Bay; all three of them had 'RR' flags.
"Well it's about time!" exclaimed Shannon, "How long has it even been?!"
"About over a half hour…" said Giulietta.
Luke went ahead of his counselor, "Hey, Giuls?" he got her attention, "That island over there…" He pointed to said island with a grayish-cream colored building, which had a tall prison tower in front, "Alcatraz, right?"
Giulietta did not hold back a smile, "Why yes. Yes it is!"
*CON: Luke - Student & Counselor*
"I know I don't like to get involved with studying so that I could graduate soon, but y'know, sometimes I just can't help but point out facts." He let out a sigh, "Damn, I guess with Giulietta around, it's making me see more of the world and what to study about…"
*END CON: Luke - Student & Counselor*
All three teams jumped bungee-jumped down to where they could reach the flags, just as Terrence, who was struggling without the assistance of his partner, was trying to get his.
"Man…" grumbled Terrence, "Who knew this was going to be this much hard without your partner?" He looked at the camera with a sour face, "Thanks again, Carla…"
The Unlikely Best Friends looked at each other on what to do with Terrence, as they saw Terrence trying hard to reach the mast.
"Y'know what, Court?" Gwen told her partner with a shrug, "Maybe you should help him out…"
"But wouldn't that give us a penalty?" asked the CIT.
"Well, it'll at least help him with moving on." said Gwen, as Courtney turned back to the struggling jock.
*CON: Courtney - Unlikely Best Friends*
"I know I hate being that person that breaks the rules, but hey, I said it once, I'll say it again: I'm a lousy CIT. I'm a terrible person, but yet I still want to help people. And I'm really aiming to redeem myself to be… not-so lousy, so I'll do what I can do to help…"
*END CON: Courtney - Unlikely Best Friends*
Courtney noticed two boats near each other. She and Terrence were near the one on the left. Without even giving a second thought, Courtney swung over to the one near Terrence and snatched the flag off the mast, before tossing it to the jock.
"Woah!" Terrence cried out as he reached for the flag, nabbing it. Before he could say anything else to Courtney, he was whisked back up to the bridge.
"Wow…" said an impressed Gwen, "You did great." Courtney let out a small smile upon hearing her words.
*CON: Courtney - Unlikely Best Friends*
"I wonder… is this a sign Gwen might want to let me in again? If so, then…" She squealed and giggled, before composing herself, "I'm hoping that we can talk to each other ourselves…"
*END CON: Courtney - Unlikely Best Friends*
The three final teams were shown snatching flags off their masts, before being pulled back up to the bridge.
Terrence peered over to Courtney, "Hey uh, Courtney!" he called over.
Courtney ran over to the jock, "Yes?"
"Um, thanks for that… For helping me."
Courtney smiled at the jock, "You're welcome. I felt like you really needed that after… what happened?" Terrence nodded with a smile as Courtney put an arm around him, "If there's anything you need, please let me know. I'll be there for you."
"Me too!" Giulietta pointed out, "Don't forget about me!"
"You also have your Town Hero friends too." pointed out Luke, as he and his partner left the bridge.
Terrence let out a laugh, "Sure thing! Thank you!"
*CON: Terrence - Homecoming Couple*
"I don't know if Carla will have a conversation with me anytime soon, but it's nice to have some other people come and give me support. I really needed that. Y'know, now that I think of it, maybe… maybe I can let in Carla, as long as she can handle sitting and listening to what I have to say."
*END CON: Terrence - Homecoming Couple*
The four teams, along with the BFFFLs and Opposing Roommates, were seen boarding the bus to head back to San Francisco International Airport.
"All teams have finished the All-In…" Don narrated…
The camera cuts to San Francisco International Airport, followed by the Jocks and the British Royals at their gate, waiting for their flight to start boarding.
"And we see some teams waiting for their plane to board to LA…" Don finished.
"Man!" Tyler exclaimed, "I can't wait to go to LA! Let's hope that we can make it first before anyone else does!"
"True that!" agreed Oscar.
Suddenly, the Town Heroes run in to see their fellow teams. "Hello there, fellow teams!" greeted Harvey.
Tyler and Oscar looked at each other, before turning to the gate clock, which read: "15 Minutes Until Boarding".
Elizabeth, though, turned to Patrick, "Patrick, pardon me for my shelteredness, but… have you ever been at an amusement park?"
"Why, of course!" Patrick said, "My family's allowed me to go to amusement parks all around for holidays, and ya know, I've even gone to parks 'round here in America! They have SUCH great rides here!"
"Really…" said Elizabeth, "What's your favorite ride?"
"I have LOTS!" said Patrick, "But me favorite would have to be…" he started thinking of what his favorite ride was, "The coaster that goes very high and I feel the wind hitting me as we go down…"
"Ahhh… That's, quite nice, if you ask me."
"Hey, ya know, you could ride that kind of coaster, if you want to." said Patrick, "I could take ya on one if you ask!"
"Trust me, Patrick." said Elizabeth, with a nervous giggle, "My family would tear their hair out if they find me with you in anything they see as reckless… Amusement parks are one of them…"
Fifteen minutes later, the three teams were already onboard the flight to Los Angeles. Now they were just waiting for it to either fly off or wait for the remaining six teams.
"Come on…" said an anticipated Tyler, "I don't know how much I can wait this long!" He was tapping his foot, impatiently.
"Don't worry 'bout it." said Oscar, "I'm sure they're still at the Golden Gate Bridge for the challenge."
"Yeah, and besides," Patrick said to them, jumping up behind the seats they were seated at, "It's almost a thirty minute ride from there to here. We're gonna have that head start!"
Meanwhile, it shows some of the remaining six teams yelling at the bus driver to hurry up to the airport.
Then it cuts back to the three teams, waiting.
The scenes go back and forth, with the six teams finally arriving at the airport, sprinting into the entrance, and demanding the stewardess at the desk to allow them on a flight to Los Angeles.
However, at the same time, the flight the other three teams were on had already closed its doors, and had started leaving the gate. The next scene showed the plane taking off from San Francisco and flying into the air.
"Yes! Finally!" Tyler cheered, "First place, here we come!" He and Oscar high fived each other, as the British Royals and Town Heroes were smiling that they were ahead.
There was a split scene between that plane and the taxis with the 'No Wait' teams arriving at Merced Station, where there was a sign saying 'Private Train to Los Angeles-Area: Ridonculous Race Teams Only', pointing to the left.
"All teams are bound to Los Angeles, whether it's by air or by train! Speaking of trains, teams that chose 'No Wait' are about to leave immediately!"
At Merced Station, seven teams were yelling as they were running towards the train.
In a vintage dome car, the seven teams settled in as they were met with a train conductor, "Welcome aboard, 'No Wait' teams!" the conductor greeted them, "Your journey from Merced to the LA area will be about three hours tops. Do you like fast?" Everyone looked at each other, concerned, "Well don't worry!" The conductor reassured them, "We'll go fast, but we'll go as safe as we can!" He held up a radio in his right hand, "Okay to go now! All aboard!"
A train horn could be heard, as all 'No Wait' teams were preparing to settle in as they saw the train depart from the station.
"Well…" said Arnold, "They said it was gonna be three hours from Merced to LA, or Anaheim, wherever we're going to. Now what?"
"What do you think, little man?" an intimidating Wyvern asked the boy, "We're just gonna have to make the most of it!" The Maple Scouts look at each other, and they just go sit at a table.
About a quarter way through the journey, there were a few teams talking to each other.
At one table, the Maple Scouts were talking with the Pizza Sisters about their goal.
"Okay, so how many pictures of different countries do you have to go to?" asked Tracy.
"Ten." said Arnold, "I know, it might not be easy, but we're hoping for the very best!"
"And if you get the 'World Travelers' badge, you two will be promoted into the Spruces Scouts?" asked Lorraine.
"Yes indeed!" said Arnold.
Lorraine let out a smile, "I think you two can make it."
"You think so?" asked Percy, "I mean, we've only got pictures from three countries, so… it's not gonna be easy, as we don't really know where we're actually going…"
"I know so." said Lorraine.
"She was in the Spruces Scouts nine years ago." Tracy pointed out, "She can tell you all about what she did."
"Nice!" exclaimed Percy, "I've been dying to get promoted… Makes you wonder how far Arnold and I want to go in order to get that kind of achievement."
Lorraine teasingly smiled at the Scouts. "Well, let me tell you about it…" she said.
Before she could talk to them about how her experience of being a Spruces Scout was, the camera cuts to the Brothers and All-Star Hockey Players at a table.
"I'm really glad we took that 'No Wait' option back in Edmonton!" exclaimed Fredrik, "It's good for us to just unwind and talk about life, if you know what I mean."
"I know exactly what you mean, Fredrik." said Jose.
"So…" said Fredrik, "Does anyone wonder what the Town Heroes are up to?"
"Probably having some kind of scavenger hunt back in San Fran, for all I care." said Jose, "For a small city, it's a big extravaganza for going around town and seeing all the creativity they've shown…"
"Right." said Alejandro, "But I'm pretty sure that we'll be seeing the Town Heroes again in no time!"
"Great!" said Willis, "They're always a great team to be around! And I'm glad they were the ones that have started the Justice Group! How about you guys?"
The Brothers look at each other, trying not to show any signs of lying. They were just stone cold silent as they sat in their seats.
"Your silence tells us that you agree." said Ferdrik
Willis nodded along with him, "I think so too."
Meanwhile, the Lesbians were forced to sit with the Bullies. Seren looked up to see a smug Molly and Lance, provoking her to give them the bird.
Mitzy noticed this and lowered her arm, "That's enough, Seren."
"I don't see why they are still here." remarked Seren.
"Why WE'RE here?" queried Lance, "C'mon, dawg, you know goddamn why we're here."
"Exactly." said a smirking Molly, "We're gonna dominate this whole circus act, and there's nothing you can do to stop us. We learnt everything in the book before the race, and you're questioning why we're here?" She and Lance let out sinister chuckles, "You lot must feel pretty stupid right now…"
"You wanna say that again?!" Seren said, her voice raised. Mitzy put a hand on her shoulder, shushing her. In turn, Seren let out an exasperated sigh. She sent another glare towards the smirking Bullies.
Meanwhile, the Punks were seated at one other table. They had nobody to talk to.
"Yo, I feel like we're missin' a team…" said V.
"You think?" asked Wyvern, "There were eight teams that chose 'No Wait'. What the hell happened to the other team?"
"As our 'No Wait' teams are making small talk on their ride…" Don narrated…
The camera shows the flight with the three teams landing at Los Angeles International Airport.
"Our first teams that chose 'Wait' have finally arrived at Los Angeles!" Don finished, as the plane's engine screeched to a halt.
The camera shows the three teams stepping on the gate, running to the taxi station to go to the amusement park.
"Okay, we'll be one of the first teams to get a taxi, and then as soon as we get to the park, we'll be the first-" Tyler stated to Oscar as they ran. However, he stopped mid-sentence as he, Oscar, the Town Heroes, and the British Royals were shocked to see…
The other six teams were standing in front of them, most welcoming them with smiles, or in Carla's case, she was turning the other way.
"What the-" Oscar gasped, "How'd you guys get here so fast?! We left without you guys back in San Francisco!"
"Unbeknownst to them, there were actually multiple flights from San Fran to LA… The one the six teams took went much faster than the first one did!" Don narrated.
Hearing Don's narration, for some reason, Oscar let out a groan. "Now you tell us." he said.
"Well, what are we waiting for?!" Sadie asked everyone, "We have to get to that park! Last one there is a rotten egg!" She and Katie dashed off, with the other teams racing after her, except for Tyler.
"Man… This is stupid…" he pouted, "To think we had that lead in front of the other si-"
"TYLER!" Oscar called out to him. Tyler realized what was going on and followed his partner.
Meanwhile, the Young Farmers had already arrived at Los Angeles. They looked over and saw the amusement park ahead of them!
"Driver, that's the park we're supposed to go!" Scott ordered, "Take us there!" The driver listened and took the Farmers over.
Then the camera transitioned from that scene to the scene where the 'Wait' teams got on taxis and motored all the way to the park, which was in Anaheim. Then the camera shows the entrance of the park, with four taxis already arriving first.
Out of those taxis were the BFFFLs, Opposing Roommates, Jocks, and Homecoming Couple. However, they were astonished to see something that was in front of them.
"You've gotta be kidding me!" cried Katherine.
What they were seeing in front of them was a long line to get in the amusement park.
Don pops out from nowhere again, "As I've mentioned before, depending on what teams have chosen for the Travel/Or, they will either wait in this long, but seemingly not-so time-consuming line here, or," Don held up a Line-Skipper ticket, "They will have this Line-Skipper until the end of the day, that they will use to skip the lines."
As the first four teams were standing in disbelief, the Town Heroes, British Royals, and Student & Counselor arrived and left their taxis.
"Sooo… I guess we just have to get in line and wait until we get in?" asked Olivia.
"No problem." said Oscar, as he ran to the end of the line, with Oscar following him.
The other teams followed suit, but one team member was curious. "Hey, aren't we missing two other teams?" asked Luke.
The camera shows the freeway, with two taxis stuck in bumper-to-bumper traffic. The camera zooms in on the taxi in the right lane.
The Unlikely Best Friends were anxiously waiting for traffic to move. "Man… what's taking so long?!" cried an impatient Courtney.
"Looks like we caught rush hour…" murmured the driver, who had a spanish accent, "We might be here for ten more minutes or so…"
"Perfect…" said a deadpanning Courtney.
The taxi across from them on the left lane held the C-List Celebrities, who weren't pleased themselves either.
"Geez, can this traffic be any slower?!" cried Shannon, "Like, don't they even know who we are?! We have a race to progress through, and I don't want my manicure to dry out!"
*CON: Shannon & Narissa - C-List Celebrities*
"When we first read the tip saying that we were going to go to Los Angeles, we immediately thought we were going to go to some studio." Shannon complained, "We would've totally rocked that challenge to the CORE!" There were cricket sounds after she said what she said.
"Exactly!" agreed Narissa, "We did not expect to go to some amusement park out in Anaheim-whatever! This just doesn't make any sense!"
*END CON: Shannon & Narissa - C-List Celebrities*
Back at the amusement park, the seven teams that arrived ahead were close to the park.
Sadie looked up to see who was already inside the gate. "Hey, is that…" The camera shows Scott and Rodney already in the park. "That's the Young Farmers!"
Everyone else looked up to see the Young Farmers too. "What are they doing here?" cried Tyler, "Didn't they choose not to wait?"
Scott presses the button on top of the Don Box, and a tip leaves the Don Box's mouth. Collecting it, Scott starts to read it, "It's another All-In: Riddle and Ride."
The next scene shows Don, who was walking across the walkway. "In this All-In, teams must go and ride these three amusement parks in a particular order…"
Don is seen standing inside a ferris wheel car, "They must ride this ferris wheel that goes," Suddenly, the car starts rocking back and forth, causing him to fall to one of the benches, "Rocking back and forth as it goes up…"
Then Don is seen sitting in the front row of a water ride inside a cavernous tunnel, "Then they must ride this mountainous water ride, which has a few dips and splashes, some of them might be SOOOOAAAKKIIIIIIINNNNGGG!" Don said as the camera zooms out to reveal his car plunging into the water, revealing the tall mountain ride design.
Then Don is seen on an inverted dark rollercoaster, which was pulling out of the station. "Finally, teams will ride this intergalactic-themed rollercoaster, which has a lot of loops and corkscrews, you name that inversion!" A track launch made the signal that it was about to launch Don's train, "All teams have to do is identify some key figures as they ride all three of these rides, using a piece of paper and pen…" He held up those two objects, before putting them back in his pocket. "If they can't name all of them, or if they get a word or so wrong, they have to go back on the rides, depending on what they couldn't get. But if a team gets all words correctly," Suddenly, Don's train is launched into a dark tunnel, causing Don to scream, "THEY'LL GET THEIR NEXT AND FINAL TIIIIIIIIIIPPP!"
Back at the Don Box, the Young Farmers hurry to the swinging ferris wheel, with Scott holding the paper and pen. "We don't have time to lose, Rodney!" he told his partner.
"No we don't!" said Rodney, "And I sure hope we don't lose! I don't want to have to say goodbye to Courtney like this!" Scott had a doubtful look on his face as he said that.
Meanwhile, the seven 'Wait' teams waited in line as they saw the Young Farmers run to the swinging Ferris Wheel. They were all confused and upset on how they got in the park before they could.
"Either they could be cheating, or something wrong happened along the way." speculated Luke.
"I assume they cheated. Seeing Revenge of the Island, I kinda expect this thing to be the work from Scott, but not Rodney." said Sadie.
"I have to agree with you, m'lady." nodded Lewis.
Suddenly, they hear two taxis pulling up. The Unlikely Best Friends and C-List Celebrities run out of them, hoping to beat each other to get in front of the other.
Ultimately, the Unlikely Best Friends reach the end of the line, in front of the C-Listers, much to their disgust.
"You'll pay for that! Both of you!" Shannon hissed.
Courtney and Gwen turned to the two incensed ladies. "Yeah?" asked Gwen, "You and what army?"
"Oh you'll see!" Narissa snarled, "You'll ALL see!"
A few minutes later, the seven teams are granted entry into the park after waiting a long time. They each run to the Don Box, get a tip, and head to the swinging Ferris Wheel.
"With most of the 'Wait' teams in the park," Don narrated.
The scene changes to the swinging Ferris Wheel, "Their first objective is to go to the Ferris Wheel that swings." Don pops out of nowhere, "All teams have to do is solve a three-word riddle. The riddle? They have to find each three words riding these attractions that name: Grove, Platinum, and Triangle. Find them, and they'll write them down on their paper!"
In one swinging car, the Young Farmers were looking all around for the first word: Grove. Scott was holding binoculars.
"Okay, we just need to find a word somewhere…" he said, "Where is it?"
Rodney peered behind his partner, "Do you think anyone's gonna notice why we're up front?" he asked.
"No way." said a nonchalant Scott, "Those Pizza Sisters and Maple Scouts gave us the tip, and we took it."
Suddenly, they felt their car shake, causing Scott to drop his binoculars. For a few seconds, they try to compose themselves.
Rodney picks up Scott's binoculars, and then he sees something using them. "Scott, over there!" he pointed out.
Scott took the binoculars, and saw the word 'Grove' on the side of a hotel.
"Woah…" said Scott, "Could that be the word?" He and Rodney looked at each other, before shrugging. Scott wrote it down on his paper. "Alright, now let's get going!"
The camera cuts to the seven teams going into line to board the swinging Ferris Wheel. Just then, they see the Young Farmers running off the ride. This got the teams to glare at them hard.
"What the heck?" Scott asked, incredulous, "Why are you guys giving us that look?"
"You know goddamn what." Lewis told them.
"We don't know…" said Rodney, confused, "What did we do?"
"Oh, you didn't know already?!" Katie questioned them.
Rodney tried to say something, but Scott dragged his arm and ran off. "We gotta get to that mountain ride!" he told him.
This left the seven teams in disbelief. "How'd they not know what they did wrong?!" asked Katie.
"Must be clueless, or in denial…" poked Olivia.
Meanwhile, the Unlikely Best Friends were already getting lost in the park. They were trying to know where the swinging Ferris Wheel was.
"Okay, we need to get a map!" Courtney told Gwen.
"Touche…" said Gwen, reading one, "We're supposed to be on the South side of the park…"
Courtney went over and peered beside her partner, "Great!" she said, "Let's go!"
Gwen sighed and followed her partner as they ran towards their first ride.
Just as they were running, they bumped into the Young Farmers. "Scott? What are you and Rodney doing here?" asked Courtney.
"Oh, uh…" Scott tried to say something, trying not to mention the incident with Fang in the first place, "Well, we kinda pulled ahead of the other teams…"
"Other teams?" asked Gwen, "Like the other half of the teams, or our half, when we separated for the Travel/Or back in Edmonton?"
"Uhuh…" chuckled Scott, "Yeah, y'know actually, the other teams that chose 'No Wait', they pulled ahead of us, and we're just trying to catch up." He turned to Rodney, "Isn't that right Rodney?"
Rodney looked at Scott, "Wait, we-" he tried to say, before Scott shut him up.
"Yeah, they pulled ahead!" Scott said.
The Unlikely Best Friends and Young Farmers stared at each other for a few seconds, before Courtney shrugged.
"Fine," she said, "I guess we'll have to try and stay out of last place if they were already here."
"Yeah, we gotta go!" Scott said, before running off.
Rodney stayed behind and embraced Courtney, "Courtney, the glider shark shines with lovely taxis and beautiful ferris wheels…" he said, starting to jumble his words again.
"Rodney, come on!" Scott called off from offscreen, getting his partner to run after him.
This left the Unlikely Best Friends confused. "Okay…" said Courtney, "That was kinda unexpected…" She and Gwen looked at each other for another second, before running to get in line for the swinging Ferris Wheel.
The camera cuts to the seven teams on the swinging Ferris Wheel.
It shows the Town Heroes looking all around for the first word. "Okay… so that first word…" said Harvey, "Do you know what it might be?"
Lewis looked all around the bottom of the park, "Okay…" he said, looking at a popcorn stand with a sign saying 'Buckets', a movie theater that has a sign saying 'Cinema', a water park with a sign saying 'Splash'. "I don't know if I see anything…" Then he looked at a hotel that has a sign that says 'Grove'. "Huh… maybe we can try 'grove' for the first word?"
"Got it!" said Harvey.
Then it shows the other teams in different cars looking at signs too. Eventually, they see some words…
"Grove." said Tyler.
"Grove." said Katherine.
"Splash?" asked Elizabeth.
Katie and Sadie looked up to see a skywriting plane make the words, 'Will You Marry Me, Sheila?' "I called it!" Sadie exclaimed, "It's Sheila!"
Meanwhile, Terrence was sitting in his car, all alone. He was looking all around for the first word… Eventually, he looked at the hotel, "Grove…" he wrote down.
The camera zooms out to reveal the amusement park, with the sky turning orange; the sun was about to start setting out west. "Who will come in first place?" Don asked, "Are the 'No Wait' teams gonna come anytime soon? Find out after the break!"
Alright, I'm afraid I'm gonna have to end this part of the episode. I don't want to keep making a very long second part, so I'm gonna make it a three-parter.
Scott and Rodney have broke off from the rest of the 'No Wait' teams, thanks to Fang intervening! This got some very disapproving glances from the Homecoming Couple, Student & Counselor, British Royals, BFFFLs, Opposing Roommates, Jocks, and Town Heroes, as some people remember Scott from his role in Revenge of the Island. How will what the Young Farmers did impact their gameplay? Will the Farmers be able to make sure they aren't as bad as what the seven teams saw, especially Scott, who isn't much of a bad person anymore?
Terrence seems ready to talk to Carla about their relationship woes. But is Carla willing to comply? And will they ever become the lovebirds from the beginning of the race, or is there nothing they can do at this point to salvage their relationship?
I know I've wrote a whole lot regarding the teams that chose 'Wait', but the next and final chapter of this episode will focus a little bit on the 'No Wait' teams. How will they react to the Young Farmers separating from them? Will they catch up to the other teams? Find out in the next chapter, where the Chill Zone will show up! Have a nice day!
