Chapter – 6

The Tournament

On the day of the tournament I was the first to get up, so I decided to go wake up Montana. I walked over to her room and open the door, and found Montana on the floor with her foot still in the bed. So I got Montana's foot out of bed and Montana instantly awoke.

"Why am I on the floor?" Montana asked confused.

"Because you fell out of bed," I sighed.

"Oh," Montana said embarrassed.

"Stop being embarrassed and get up and get dressed," I ordered.

"OK," Montana said getting up and looked for her clothes.

I turned and left the room and went to the kitchen to make breakfast. I decided to make just enough for me and a little extra if anyone else wanted what I was having, when I was done cooking I prepared a spot and began to eat my breakfast. Montana came over and sat down at the table. After I was finished eating I set my plate on the floor and my dog came out and licked it clean then moseyed back to my bedroom. I hear this thud and then ouch and I looked over to find it was coming from Chad's room. I stared at the door for awhile then smacked my self in the head, "Like girlfriend, like boyfriend." Montana began to blush.

Chad stumbles out of his room rubbing the back of his head. I just giggled as I went into my room. Montana starts too prepared her and Chad some breakfast. I started to laugh while I was in my room because all I could hear is Makai blowing bubbles cause he was sleeping in my dog's water dish, I started to get dressed into my pretty clothes and helped Makai up and he went back to sleep in my hammock. Back in the dinning room Chad and Montana were chatting as Montana made their food.

"How is your morning?" Chad asked.

"Um...OK and yours?" Montana said as she continued cooking.

"It was a nice rest, but I could have woken up more gentle like," Chad stated.

Montana laughed at him, "I bet."

I came out of my room just as Montana and Chad finished there breakfast, Makai and my dog followed. I sat down and Chad went to his room to get dressed. Montana watched him walk into his bedroom. Five minutes past and Chad comes back out fully dressed and we all went off to where the archery contest was going to be held. We signed up and then went to where we were supposed to be. I was on court five and Montana was on court one. There were five rounds with twenty-five targets in each round, five targets for each court and there were twenty rounds in all. Chad was in the crowd near me and Makai was in the crowd near Montana, what a mix up.

The archery tournament started off great there was seven girls in the whole tournament and ninety three guys. The rabid fan girls cheered the guys on and booed the girls which made the five girls fail, so there was only two girls in the semi finals and that was me and Montana. The semi finals passed by quickly and in the finals there was me, Montana, some arrogant guy, the potions shop master and another guy that lived down the alley. The potions shop master and the guy from down the alley failed and lost. So there was me, Montana and Mr. Arrogance left.

Mr. Arrogance shot first with his prized arrow and got him a bulls-eye. Montana was next and Mr. Arrogance some how distracted her and her arrow went sorrowing up into the air and landed square in the middle of his target ruining his prized arrow but getting her a bulls eye., but she was still out of the game because she didn't hit her target.

I went to shoot and Mr. Arrogance hit the bottom of my bow and made me shoot high my arrow hadn't past the shot point so I grabbed my arrow out of thin air and gave Mr. Arrogance an angry glare then shot a bulls eye, Mr. Arrogance was surprised by my recovery and yet still mad. The judges caught him trying to disqualify me so they disqualified him instead so Montana got boosted up to second. I got a thousand rupees for first and Montana five hundred for second. Montana disappeared into the crowd and went and bought herself some chili peppers for fifty rupees. The chili peppers varied in hotness. She walked down the path to catch up with me, Chad and Makai. The town's people noticed the Chili peppers in her hand, and thought she was a sissy and wouldn't be able to handle it. So they challenged Montana to a little contest. Montana couldn't refuse a challenge, so she accepted immediately. People brought out tables and ten people wanted to challenge Montana.

"Come and place your bets on the one you think will win and see what will happen!" I announced. All the people ran up and made their bets and then the competition began.

The sun was at the 5 o'clock peak and the crowd around was large. Montana separated the chili peppers from coldest to hottest, and it worked out perfectly. All the challengers were Montana, Me, Mr. Arrogance, and 7 other people from outside of Kakareko.

I looked at Mr. Arrogance, he must be trying to get back at her for beating him in the archery tournament, and all I know is that he is trying too hard.

"Are you all ready?" I yelled.

Everyone cheered and the challenge began.

We went around the table, Montana was first and the chili pepper didn't even faze her, then I tried and it had a little nip, and it went around. The first round was a breeze and so was the second, but on the third Mr. Arrogance was a little squeamish, and the next three challengers went screaming for water. On the fourth round Mr. Arrogance couldn't take it and ran away with his mouth on fire and so did the next three so there was only Montana and I with some guy with a bad gouty. Montana and I slowly put the last chili peppers in our mouths when the guy screamed and ran away.

"Well I guess we win," Montana smiled.

"Aren't you two competing?" a guy asked.

"Well we already won because the one who challenged me is not here and besides there isn't a chili pepper in the world to beat us," Montana spoke.

I smiled and we all walked home together with the money of the people who didn't win the bids, which was everyone.
