Team Amazon were sitting on the side of the plane hull in Loser class. Across them Tyler spoke up.
"I`m glad Lindsay`s team won the last challenge and everything, but her being up in First Class and me being back here? This sucks!" He said sighing.
After a few turbulence problems Heather spoke to the Latin man.
"Having some trouble controlling your team Alejandro?" making him glance back to see Owen sticking out of a cargo compartment while sucking his thumb, Noah with his head stuck in a hanging bird cage and Tyler half in in another compartment.
"Your attempts to insult my team are cute?" The Spaniard said with a slight tilt of his lips. Heather rolled her eyes.
"Whatever, my girl power team is going to win, we don`t get distracted by anything especially boys." She said with her arms crossed.
The smirk on Alejandro`s face became more pronounced as he pointed with his left hand to Rem and Cody who were sharing a bucket of ice-cream.
"Hello this is your captain speaking. If you look on your left window you`ll get to see what happens when a plane does a summersault." Izzy said on the interphone imitating Chief`s voice. The was a sign of struggle as the real Chef exclaimed.
"Gimmie that! Uh you might wanna hang on to something heavy!" Chef said as all of Team CRRRRH clutched to Owen.
The plane landed none too gently in the French canal right next to the Louvre Museum.
As soon as all the contestants were in front of the museum Chris spoke.
"I didn't exactly get a chance to prep my introduction with the unexpected water landing and all. Just gonna give the highlights. France…city of love… art galleries… filler… lots of artwork…lots of priceless artwork…" he continued speaking as he tossed queue cards away.
"Yay Paris. There`s only one guy I wanna share this with. The guy I've been dreaming about since we`ve been apart. Where`s my Tyler." The blonde bombshell said looking around.
"Hey Linds."The jock said approaching his girlfriend.
"Are you sure that's you, cause you look slightly different in my head?" Lindsay asked.
"Everything looks slightly different in her head."Alejandro whispered to Noah.
"Do you always wear a track suit? Oh, it doesn't matter, because we being in Paris together means only one thing…"She trailed off before squealing.
"Shopping! I can pick out new clothes for you." But before she cloud trail off even more Chris shushed her.
"There`s no time for shopping. The first challenge is about to start. Everyone inside the Louve." The host said.
"Um I believe you mean Louvre." Courtney corrected him.
"Whatever. Go already."Chris demanded.
…..
When they were inside the museum they saw Chef wheeling a huge wooden crate.
"Challenge time kids. Each team gets their very own famous sculpture. Team Victory, yours id Roden`s, the Thinker. CRRRRH you guys get the Venus De Milo."
"Ah, Venus, such beauty." The Spaniard commented.
"Calm down lover boy. Amazons, you ladies get the statue of David. Here`s how it works, it`s up to you guys to find the statue hidden somewhere in Louver-eh." Chris explained confused at pronouncing the French word.
"Well that shouldn`t be too hard. The statues are big. Plus I'm amazing at reading brochure maps." Courtney said with a smile
"About that. Chef has broken the statues into pieces and hidden them. First team to find the pieces, race to the pyramid court and assemble them wins." Chris said.
"But the Thinker isn`t located in the Louvre, and the statue of David isn`t even in France." Alejandro said in protest.
"Well we`re not using the actual statues. Those are priceless, Chef made some fake ones. Right?" they all looked at Chef who stood still for a moment before sprinting away.
"I almost forgot the twist twist. Here`s your motivation." Chris said pressing a button on a remote making the crate fall apart to reveal the Sasquachanakwa, a bear with a chainsaw and a white baby seal.
"Aw look DJ it`s that baby seal you accidentally ran over in the Yukon."Lindsay said making the gentle giant jump in her arms.
"I`d start running." Chris commented as the contestants did as he asked. The Sasquachanakwa went after CRRRRH, the bear after Team Amazon and the baby seal after Victory.
"Come on guys. there`s no way I`m gonna let Team CRRRRH beat us to the pyramid court. We have to find the rest of these things fast."Heather said holding a piece of the statue. They were about to go when they heard the sound of a chainsaw. They almost screamed when Rem started speaking in a soothing voice.
"Well hi there. What is your name big guy?" the bear lowered itself to his front paws and started licking her face as one big dog. Cody chuckled.
"Exactly like a canine."He turned to the other three girls and spoke.
"We`ll keep him busy, you get the sculpture together."Getting a nod he walked toward Rem and the bear and started putting it on the head, making the bear nuzzle his head further for more petting.
Turning towards Rem he spoke.
"Wanna ditch the museum and I don`t know, walk around Paris?" Chuckling Rem nodded and they headed for the exit.
Once they exited he asked.
"So where to first? Eifel Tower? Or the Notre Dame Cathedral? Or just stroll down the Seine?"
Dawn smiled and even the bear let out a cheer as Cody gave suggestions.
"Why not all?"she said making a smile emerge on Cody`s face.
As they were walking they heard an unfortunately very familiar bell. Groaning Cody looked around for the insufferable host who showed up from behind a pillar.
"Consider this punishment for ditching the others. Now sing."Chris demanded.
"But there is no music."Dawn said as she looked around. Frowning Chris snapped his fingers and an intern showed up with a guitar and handed it to Cody.
"Now sing." Chris said ordering. Looking around Cody shrugged before his face lit up in an idea. He whispered it to Rem and to his relief she nodded finally Cody started strumming the guitar in a relatively fast pace.
She's resplendent, so confident
La Seine, La Seine, La Seine
She said swaying her hands gracefully. They started walking
I realize, I'm hypnotized
La Seine, La Seine, La Seine
They climbed up the Tower as Cody still strummed the guitar.
I hear the moon singing a tune
La Seine, La Seine, La Seine
Rem motioned to the silver sphere in the sky. She twirled a few times as she sand. Cody leaned on the railing as he played.
Is she devine, Is it the wine
La Seine, La Seine, La Seine
Finally after that verse, the music tempo got faster.
I don't know, don't know, so don't ask me why
That's how we are, La Seine and I
I don't know, don't know, so don't ask me why
That's how we are, La Seine and I
They were on their way to Notre Dame next; Cody took this verse for himself.
I feel alive when I'm beside
La Seine, La Seine, La Seine
He sang as he motioned with his head to the river they were walking by. Rem smiled at him as she gazed at the water.
From this angle like an angel
La Seine, La Seine, La Seine
He sang looking at Rem whose figure was under the moonlight. A smile came to his face.
I don't know, don't know, so don't ask me why
That's how we are, La Seine and I
I don't know, don't know, so don't ask me why
That's how we are, the Seine and I
They sang together as Rem danced around Cody.
Upon the bridge
Rem sang as they passed a bridge. Cody smiled.
My heart does beat
He sang as he joined her in passing it.
Between the waves
We will be saved
The air we breathe
Can you believe?
They had two more lines and then they sang together.
Learn to forgive upon the bridge
They only had to repeat the last few lines.
That's how we are, the Seine and I
That's how we are, the Seine and I
That's how we are, the Seine and I
That's how we are, the Seine and I
Finally the song ended and they found themselves back at the river shore.
When they got back they were told about how Team Victory lost and they had to compete in a fashion show and who were the models. Cody snorted when he heard DJ`s model`s name.
….
They were in a room stat had a runway and a table for the judges: Owen, Heather and Chris.
Chris tried to imitate French fashion Designer accent. Music started playing and Tyler stepped out wearing a ridiculous outfit and a painting frame in front of his face. Lindsay was the only one to cheer, Alejandro and Noah burst out laughing. Tyler got so distracted he did not notice when he walked off the stage. Gwen was wearing DJ`s green T-shirt and skull hat. She got fed up and threw the shirt as she walked away. DJ was dancing because he thought he would be going home.
Heather said Lindsay`s design made her nauseous, Owen said it made him hungry and Chris plain didn't like it.
But both Chris and Heather agreed that while the model sucked the shirt was good. Owen said he didn't realize there would be two models so he wasn't paying attention but he liked DJ`s shirt. So DJ won.
That concluded Lindsay`s stay on the plane.
