Author's Note: This is chapter 3 of my story. I hope ya'll enjoy it as much as the other two.

The morning arrived and everyone got up. No one said a word all through breakfast. You could feel the tension between them. Finally Commander Ferral spoke, "Let's try to find a path through, Chance."

Chance stood with Commander Ferral at the top of the rapid and listened to him point out a possible rout. "I think I see the route you're talking about. If I enter the rapid just right the current should pull us where we need to be," Chance stated.

"Miss the entrance by even a foot or two and you'll end up in a hole or around a rock," Commander Ferral cautioned.

Callie's heart was pounding as Chance pushed off following Commander Ferral's lead. She watched as the other boat dropped out of site. Then they squeezed between two boulders and over the edge. Callie was glad to see there line was perfect and they avoided the two holes on either side.

Ferral however had smacked up against a rock and lost all control. They hit one of the waves and were thrown into a hole. They were spun sideways and one side of the boat went up in the air. Johnny and Steel throw themselves to the high side to bring it down, while Ann hung on to keep from falling out. After what seemed like forever the hole let them go, but the boat was so full of water Ferral couldn't steer it through the rest of the rapid. They just got thrown where ever the rapid took them. Finally they were out of the rapid and near Chance's boat. Chance had got a head of them when the hole got them.

"That was awesome," Jake yelled.

"That was a huge rapid," Ann called.

"We did it," Callie added.

Even Felina seemed to be in a better mood.

Chance had no problems with knockout and ghost rapid's which were both rated 8's. He was glad that Feral didn't either. They were just fun rides for all of them. It seemed that everyone was starting to enjoy themselves.

Ann was happy when they stopped for lunch by another waterfall. It was a nice peaceful spot and had plenty of room to walk around. Not like the ones yesterday that fell directly into the river. Her and Johnny ate lunch together and watched Callie and Jake play under the waterfall.

Felina scampered up some rocks and to the top of the waterfall where she could watch everyone below. She smiled as she watched Chance start to climb up as well.

"Hey," Chance said coming to stand behind her. He had always thought he liked Callie, but seeing Callie with Jake didn't bother him anymore.

"Hi," Felina said.

"Umm… are you alright you seemed upset yesterday," Chance said taking a chance that she wouldn't hit him.

Felina sighed; she knew they had a right to know why she had gotten angry. Though for some odd reason the only person she wanted to tell was Chance. "When I was small my parents decided they didn't want me, so they basically gave me to my uncle. My parents never loved me. The only person who loves me is my uncle. I guess it really bothers me when I here about other peoples parents," she finished.

"Felina I had no idea," Chance said not knowing what else to say. He felt like he should hug her, but he didn't he wasn't sure how she would react. He saw Jake waving them down. "Come on," he finished.

Felina followed Chance back down and into the boats, where they were soon back on the river. At least the canyon was beautiful she thought as she watched it pass by. She noticed that clouds were starting to form. Not a lot, but a few puffy white ones.

Ann laughed as they were pushed through a minor rapid. She was having a great time just being away from her job. Though she knew what a story this was going to make. It seemed to Ann the cliffs had gotten taller, she couldn't' tell where they ended.

Ferral started to get worried. Light was fading and they couldn't find a place to set up camp. The weather was taking a turn for the worse too. The few clouds had become many and the wind had picked up. It was getting colder as well and everyone was starting to shiver in their wet cloths.

"Phantom rapid's coming up. It's rated a 9 in high water, 10 in normal water and it says not recommended for low water," Steel read.

"What's the water level? Not that it matters we have to do it anyway or Megas might kill us," Jake questioned.

Chance could see a ring where the water had been recently about five feet in the air. "It's either normal or low," Chance stated.

"The lights' fading fast is there a camp before we get to it?" Ferral asked Steel

"Yep, the map says there is one," he reported.

"Let's head for the camp," Commander Ferral yelled back to Chance.

"Keep it to the right we don't want to miss it," Chance yelled as they got closer to the rapid. They could hear the hiss of the rapid and a little latter it turned into a thunderous roar. Still no camp, they pulled out right above the rapid and looked at it in almost near dark.

Felina looked at the rapid and almost had a heart attack. It was defiantly a ten plus. It was a short, but big drop into what looked like teeth. It was studded with rocks. The only passable water funneled into another huge fall, with waves attacking from both sides and deep holes everywhere. "We can't run this tonight," Felina announced with fright in her voice. Felina didn't think she had ever been this scared in her life.

Jake and Chance knew they had done a lot of crazy stuff as the Swat Kats, but neither was sure they could do this.

"We have to run it," Ferral said getting things strapped down in the boats.

Callie felt herself falling and falling, she couldn't see anything, but water. Water was everywhere, pouring into the boat and falling on her. She struggled to keep from floating out. Just as quickly as it had happened, it was over and Callie started to bail out all the water.

Ferral's boat had come out fine and was now searching for a camp. They finally found one and got a fire started to warm up by. After changing into dry cloths everyone felt better and sat up the tents. They decided to skip supper; they were all to tired to fix it.

Felina sat beside Chance for a while around the fire. They didn't talk, but being close to him made her feel better. Though that last rapid had scared her she didn't think Chance would let anything happen to her. After a while they all headed for bed.

Johnny slept outside that night, but didn't have a problem falling asleep even with the roar of rapids close by. They were all too exhausted.
