"So I'm really doing this," I say a week later as I find myself in the airport with the Rockets, Tito, that Squid and Twister.

"Yeah," Twister says looking at me with those eyes that caused me to be here in the first place. The poor guy was either in a wheel chair or on crutches all the time now. So here I was getting on a plane to compete with my rivals oh well maybe, I'd win Prince, but whatever it didn't matter. I was only here take my brother's place, and at least I got a free trip out of it and there was Reggie, she was such an angel. I could watch her for hours, the way she was helping Twister to his seat and putting his stuff under his chair. I sat down beside him and Squid sat on the other side. I put my headphones on and listen to music as we took off. "So what are the events this time?"

"Oh uh..." I hear Sam say.

"Didn't you find out?" Twister says as Reggie and Otto, look over from in front of us.

"No, didn't you guys?" Sam says looking at Reggie and Otto. I roll my eyes and handed Twister my laptop; I open it and point to the files I got on New Zealand. As soon as I had realized I was going, I got all the info I could.

Sam takes the computer I would have protested, but he's an egghead. He couldn't do any harm right, "Cave rafting into mountain boarding, sea kayaking, Snowboarding, Ice lugging prefect," Sam says.

"Urggh the first year with lugging and I'm out cold," Twister groans.

"I'll win it for you bro," Lars says.

Otto, Reggie, and Sam laugh, "Not if I have anything to do with it," Otto says, I go back to my silence and Otto and Reggie turn back around, "Can you believe that dude trying to take my crown?"

"Otto, we're lucky he went along with this so give him a chance," Reggie says. I knew they were talking about me, but I didn't care. Except Reggie said give me a chance, I hoped she'd take her own advice. Then I feel asleep with my headphones on. When I woke up it was dark everyone was sleeping in the plane except Twister. He seemed to be really worried.

"What's wrong Twist?" I ask he looks over at me and doesn't say anything, "You can tell me."

"It's just, what if I can't even walk right ever again?" Twister says, "Then Otto will ditch me for sure."

"Yeah right, Twister you're not just his best friend because you can do sports. You're his best friend because you're, you," I say. I couldn't understand why he was like this normally; he fell off, and got right back up. He could never be held back but here he was looking like all this dreams were ruined. Then I added, "At least you'll still have Reg."

He shoots a glance at me, "How did you know about that?"

"She told me a couple of days ago," I answer, "Don't worry I'm not going to blab." No way, I wasn't going to let everyone know that Twister had my girl, although, technically she wasn't mine; probably wouldn't end up mine, but I wouldn't tell anyway even if it wasn't for that.

"Oh you're ok about this?" Twister asks.

Of course I wasn't ok with this, but what was I going to do? Tell him I had a crush on his secret girlfriend. No way in Hell, "Oh yeah I'm cool. But be careful Otto wouldn't be," I didn't know if that was true or not but Reggie seemed worried about it. So I just put it in there because then I was the better brother.

"Thanks bro," Twister says holding his camera up, "My video will be just about you."

"M-me you've never done a video on me," I say.

"I know and I really would like to, if it would be ok. See I have millions of tapes of Otto, and Reggie and Sam well he's not quite up there. I really have never seen you compete unless it's against us and I can't tape a rival but now you're on team Rocket so I thought it would be a cool twist," Twister explains looking hopeful.

I nod, "Well unless you have to get both your arms cut off you'll never have to give up taping; even if you have to give up sports," I say trying to be helpful.

He looks down at his leg and then looks away in disgust, "Yeah that's great."

"So," I stretch, "What's New Zealand like?"

"Oh it's ok," Twister says, "If you stay away from the glow worms and there's a giant squid and left is right."

"Left is what?" I ask.

Twister sighs, "Left is right and its winter there."

"I know its winter there, but how is left right?" I say.

"Duh, they drive on the left because they think its right," he says.

"Maybe we drive on their left because we think its right," I say and he's eyes widen at the thought that we might be the ones backwards. We didn't talk after that they came around an gave us breakfast but I didn't feel like eating I had been on my fast for 9 days one more day but I might go for longer, so I gave my food to Twister when he wasn't looking.
