"Oh yeah, baby! The Dukester's here to tell you all about the last episode of the Ridukeulous Race!" In came the booming voice of Duke, sounding off over a plethora of clips from the previous episode, starting with the teams racing to the train station, via subway and taxis. "We said au revoir to Paris and had our teams make a hasty dash to Calanque de Maubois. That's right, everyone…it was a beach day!" The teams were shown arriving on the beach in droves, soon followed by the clip of Bea karate chopping the shark with the tip on its fin. "Our teams were met with another botch or watch challenge, this time forcing the botcher to take a swim with some sharks to nab their next travel tip! Of course, we couldn't just let them off easy after that, as it then went into the sandcastle building contest! Quite a few surprises there…quite a few indeed." As Duke brought up the surprises, they were revealed, being Logan, who tornadoed a whole castle up in a matter of seconds and Andrew, who used his ultimate anime slash to shave the top layer off of his team's castle.

"When we decided we were all done with the sand getting in our trousers, we made a move on to the next chill zone…in Iceland! To no shock, the huge lead gained in the sandcastle building part of the challenge helped net the Vicious Pop Stars the win of the day, though Logan was asleep for the entire boat ride. I guess she earned that, though." Evan was shown standing in the middle of the chill zone with a sleeping Logan in his hands, but the camera then switched to show Evander and Conroy getting in their scuffle on the beach. "We had to dish out some timeouts for cheating and roughhousing, which dropped the Basketball Nerds and the Cool Guys down to the bottom of the ranks, but thanks to a stingingly cold calculation from Conroy, he and Mika managed to snag the last safe spot, urging us to say goodbye to Evander and his hobo. You know how it goes by now! Another day, another team to drop out! Who won't be able to withstand this Icelandic wonderland? You're about to find that out on…THE RIDUKEULOUS RACE!"

Cue Intro

"Everyone, welcome back to Iceland…I mean, it definitely isn't as icy as I would've expected it to be, and I've got some stinkin' suspicions about Greenland now…anyways, we're back at the last chill zone to get the next leg of the race started…with Logan and Evan taking the lead!" Duke stood on the dock that everyone had come to finish the previous leg of the race on, leaning back against a dukebox that wasn't really far off from the chill zone, which had Logan and Evan both standing on it.

Confessional

"We finally got first place in a leg of the race…seriously, it was about time things started going our way!" Logan huffed as her ice cream cone-like hair suddenly flopped down in front of her face. With a grumble, she fixed it back into position and started spraying it with a total abundance of hairspray. "See, we should've gotten first in every leg of the race so far, but Evan's been holding us back…no surprise there."

"But I…ah, nevermind. I'm just glad we landed in a place that has better alcohol than the last one. France and its wine…blegh. Wine is the snobby child's choice of alcohol." Evan dug around in his back pocket and retrieved a bottle of red wine…which was completely empty. "See, I drank this all right before the race started yesterday, but I bet nobody even noticed!"

"I think you being a deranged alcoholic has just put your tolerance far too high for wine to affect. It's a drink to savor and enjoy…not one to chug and get wasted off of." Logan snagged the bottle from Evan, looking it over with her eyes turning to a scowl shortly after. "Hey, this was my wine! Evan, what the hell is wrong with you!?"

"...I was thirsty."

Confessional End

With the leg kicking off, Evan and Logan rushed towards the dukebox, the smaller of the two giving the big red button a good smack and grabbing the tip from it.

"Hm…" Logan looked over the tip a few times, but she just looked confused. Eventually, her face started to turn red, a good sign that she was getting pretty heated. "Ugh! I don't know what this says, we're taking a bus to go see some geysers and get our next tip!"

"That's right!" Duke was shown before the view of a gorgeous geyser field, one that had several geysers going off at that very moment. "They're the geysers of Geysirskil, but saying that name hurts my jaw so we're just gonna call it the Geyser Field! These bad boys are sitting atop an active volcano, because who doesn't want a little cinnamon on their Iceland sundae?"

"Move faster, Evan! The bus stop isn't too far ahead!" Logan panted as she shouted while running, though it was a bit odd, considering Evan was well ahead of her. "I don't want to have to deal with anyone else joining us on the bus ride, so we have to leave like pronto!"

"Uh…I don't know, it may be a bit too late for that." Evan turned around while Logan finally caught up to him at the bus stop. He pointed back towards where they came from, urging her to take a look and see that there were eight other teams in line behind them: the Wilderness Girls, the YouTuber and Editor, the Friendly Duo, the BFFFLs, the Sailor America Fans, the Reality Show Rivals, the Dynamic Gamers, and the Mystical Opposites.

"W-what!? No! No, no, no! Public transport is already bad enough, now I have to share this bus with all of you!? This isn't fair!" Logan stomped her feet, a few of the teams behind her and Evan sharing some concerned glances.

"But sharing is magical!" Flora was the first to pipe up amongst the awkward silence, starting to walk closer towards Logan while Helena nervously glanced away. "When you share with other people, it helps you become closer! And when you become closer, you get to have tea parties with each other and throw grand balls and…oh, it's all so much fun!" The magic-loving girl reached for some sparkly glitter from her pocket, tossing it into the air and getting the slightest amount on Logan's shoe. A look of complete horror grew upon Evan's face as he watched his older cousin's eye twitch.

"U-uh…little pink girl? I think you should maybe go back to your partner…" Evan reached out to grab Logan and hold her back, but the very second he touched her arms his hands seemed to singe. "Yowch!"

"It's magical, is it? You know what else is magical? The harshness of reality, that's what!" Logan had a faux smile on her face, but with her eye still twitching, most of everyone could tell that something was up. "Like this here mud puddle! So much fun to look at, but let's hope you don't get splashed by it or- whoops!" She kicked a rock just off the curb of the bus stop, dropping it into the mud puddle and splashing mud all over Flora's face and dress. Helena gasped in shock while others just stood by and watched. "Looks like you're all covered in mud! Do you think that the mud was just sharing with you? Or maybe the world is out to get you?"

"U-um…the mud was sharing?" Flora offered her weak answer while slightly raising her finger, but it was clear that she was starting to get upset.

"Oh, I get it! You're a moron! Makes so much sense, now!"

"Hey! Flora is not a moron!" Helena jumped into the conversation, red in the face as she stood before Logan, though the latter didn't seem at all phased by this. "Y-you're just…you're…"

"I'm what?" Logan leaned towards Helena, cupping her hand around her ear to hear what she said, but the girl just couldn't seem to get it out. She shriveled up where she stood, leaving Flora feeling even worse than she was before. "Yeah, that's what I thought. Oh, would you look at that! It's the bus!" The bus came along as Logan had mentioned, the doors opening up to start allowing teams to enter it. One by one, they did so, with Flora and Helena trailing behind a little bit.

"C-come on, Flora…let's just keep going…" The two sadly trudged to the door to the bus, but the bus driver held his hand out, blocking them from getting in. "W-we can't get on? But why not?" The bus driver furrowed his brow and pointed to the side of the bus, which had a sign that read "No Muddy Passengers." He then pointed at Flora, who was entirely coated in mud still. "But it isn't our fault that she's covered in mud!" Before Helena could protest any longer, the bus driver started off with the first eight teams in tow.

Confessional

"That Logan isn't very nice at all…especially when all Flora was doing was trying to lighten the mood." Helena had her arms crossed, still looking peeved, just like before. "It makes me so…so…mad! People can just be so cruel and they don't even care about what they're doing or how they're affecting others!" She then glanced over to Flora, who was still covered in mud and staring down at the ground. "...I think you're the cutest mud monster ever, Flora." Helena smiled, but nothing came from Flora but a meek sigh. Her smile soon faded and she glanced away again, "...Sorry."

Confessional End

"Eight teams are already well on their way to the geyser field, with one team stuck at the bus stop working on tidying up a bit!" Duke narrated as the view of a saddened Flora being scrubbed down by Helena was shown. This cut back to the dock, where Duke was standing next to the chill zone, which had Richard and Andrew standing on it. "We've got another team raring to start the leg, and nine others waiting anxiously to see just how far behind they're going to end up!"

"Hey, hey Andrew. You think any of these local babes are gonna be hot?" Richard stared off into the distance at the faint outlines of some people that were walking around the closest town. He tried to enhance the image he was looking at, but his image just ended up being a bunch of girls in bikinis running around and splashing each other with water. He licked his lips and grinned before he was bopped on top of the head by the sheath of Andrew's katana. "Ow, man, what was that for!?"

"Tsk, tsk…you're such a plebian, Richard." Andrew comedically adjusted his glasses, causing the light to strike them in such a way that it covered his eyes in a glowing barricade. "A simple minded man like you lets himself become distracted with these women so easily, surely being the reason that we've been placing in the bottom half recently. A more mature, cultured man, such as myself, will find himself a proper waifu, like my lovely Mitsuki-Chan, and settle down with her. No distractions."

"...Doesn't the sun beaming in your eyes hurt?" RIchard pointed up towards Andrew's smug grin, revealing that there was smoke coming from behind his glasses.

"Indeed. I believe the sun has just used a special attack upon my retinas…one known as…'Fire.'" Andrew swiftly turned away from the sun, blinking and causing the smoke to dissipate. "But, while we're waiting to be allowed to start, I think I shall check up on my Mitsuki-Chan…I need to see how she's doing." The weeaboo dug into his pocket, fetching his phone from it and opening the app with Mitsuki-Chan in it. "Hello, my sweet Mitsuki-Chan. Are you enjoying your day?"

"Meh…" The girl in the phone didn't seem all too interested in speaking to Andrew, judging by the cold tone in her voice. She wasn't even looking at him, just staring off to the side…whatever that was in her virtual world.

"M-meh? Honey bunny…you sound so…troubled! You can tell me what is wrong…I'll use my katana to solve whatever issues may be coming your way!" Andrew reached one hand down and placed it upon the handle of the blade, but Mitsuki-Chan just sighed. She looked at Andrew for a mere second, and the app suddenly forced a shut down. "N-nani!?"

"Dweebs, let's get a move on!" Duke hollered at Richard and Andrew to let them know it was time for them to go. Richard had no issue starting to run, but Andrew seemed to be frozen in place, just staring at the error message on his screen.

"Andrew, let's go, man!" Richard barked back at his partner, who snapped up from his confusion and turned to follow after him.

Confessional

"N-nani…nani, nani, nani!?" Andrew could be heard thinking loud enough to project his thoughts into the real world, which was annoying the crap out of Richard. "My baby…my honey…my kitten! S-she…she closed the app…to avoid me! T-this…this feeling in my spleen…that's it, my life is over. I'll have to commit seppuku…it's the only way for me to make up for whatever terrible mistake I've done!"

"Dude, if you kill yourself, I'm gonna take your anime babe as my own or whatever." That one comment from Richard seemed to snap Andrew out of it, as he was soon holding his katana blade against his throat.

"You wouldn't dare to touch my Mitsuki-Chan…that's it…I can't commit seppuku…I must figure out what's wrong and right it…the hard way!" Andrew sheathed his blade and adjusted his glasses again, "It's called being a man and owning up to your actions, Richard…you simply wouldn't understand."

Confessional End

"Beh…beh…beh!" Arnold paced the docked and grumbled to himself, Aisling watching him closely the entire time. He reached the end of the dock and suddenly turned to face his psychic partner, looking down upon her in shame. "Youuuu…you and your magic antics…we've only gone down in placement each leg of the race because of it. You just need to consult with your ball, you just need to pester me with your playing cards…don't you see how much you're costing us!?"

"Hm…hmmmmmmm…" Aisling grabbed her crystal ball from her bra and rubbed it against her cheek, listening to the resonating noise that it uttered. "Well, the ball says that us lagging behind also has something to do with you refusing to let me help out in any of the challenges we have to complete. The All-Ins, specifically…we could perhaps get a lot more done if I was allowed to participate. At least, that's what the ball said."

"You're doing it again! Gahhhhh!" Arnold grabbed his hair and tugged on it a bit before taking a deep breath and dropping his arms down. "I suppose I did ask for this, didn't I? Well, curse me for wanting a slight challenge to be added into the race…I've been given a much more hefty one than I ever imagined!" The man sighed and rubbed his eyes before looking back at Aisling to see her waggling her deck of cards at him with a cheeky smile. "I want you to just take two seconds to think about if what you're doing is a good idea."

"Hm…well…" Aisling thought back to the other times, where Arnold threatened to torch her deck with a lighter or a match. She shrugged and kept on smiling, "Maybe this time will be differ- AH!" He had already gotten his lighter out and had it lit, ready to burn the cards, which she pulled away from him as quickly as she could. "A-another time, then."

Confessional

"Oh, I'll get him someday!" Asiling snapped her fingers and giggled while the brooding Arnold sat next to her and groaned.

Confessional End

With the rest of the teams back on the docks now racing to reach the bus stop, the first bus started coming to a halt at the geyser field. The bus didn't even come to a complete stop before the door was pried open and Jacque and Angel forced their way out of it, causing it to lock in place after they did, making it hard for the others to open it and get out.

"Now, that there is what I'd call a proper roadblock!" Jacque laughed at his brilliance while Angel rolled her eyes and marched on towards the next dukebox, which was just sitting in the geyser field. "Y'know, ya could stop to enjoy the effects of my brilliance every once and a while. Sure would put a shining smile right on my face. Ain't that what ya want?"

"As if I could care at all about seeing you smile. You know that the only thing I care to see is us finally getting first in one of these legs here. Now, let's see what our next tip is." Angel pressed the button on top of the dukebox, grabbing the tip from it and giving it a look over. "Oh, just peachy…it's a botch or watch. 'Broken Icelandic Telephone.'"

"That's right, baby!" The camera cut away to show Duke leaning against a boombox, his weight seeming to angle it down a bit. "For this botch or watch, the teammate that didn't swim with the sharks last time is going to have to press the button on the boombox here, which'll play my voice saying 'Please give me my next travel tip' in Icelandic! Might I add, it's perfectly pronounced? Check it!" Duke slammed his fist down on the button at the top of the boombox, causing his voice to play from it. "Vinsamlegast gefðu mér næsta ferðaráð!" The camera then cut to show Duke running through the geyser field while there were plenty of geysers erupting around him.

"After they get that, they'll have to run all the way across the geyser field to reach this Icelandic local!" Once he cleared the field, he stood next to the Icelandic girl, a cute, pale girl with long black hair and a dress that looked…oddly similar to a swan. "They're gonna have to repeat the phrase to her perfectly if they wanna get their next tip from her! If they get it wrong, they'll have to run all the way back to hear it again! The watcher in this case will get a piece of tape slapped over their mouth…can't have them helping out, as you know. Oho, this is gonna be so good!"

"Well, easy is as easy does!" Angel scoffed and walked towards the boombox with Jacque following close behind her. The other teams were just now freeing themselves from the prison of the bus and grabbing their tips as the duo did so. She gladly pressed down on the button on the boombox, allowing that phrase to play again. "Tch…I suppose not everyone can speak proper English…they all want to make up their own funny sounding words instead."

"Well, I ain't no expert, but I'm pretty sure that 'Proper English' ain't the first language to pop up on this Earth. But I guess that must just be your British ancestors insisting you all still rule the world, right?" Jacque snickered while Angel ignored him and ran on ahead. "Tch, can't even appreciate a good jab, you really are just the life of the party." He started to trail after her, but just before he did so, a piece of duct tape flew in out of nowhere, covering up his mouth. "Mmph!? Mm mm…mmph."

Confessional

"Do me and Angel enjoy being around each other for so long? Heh, not in the slightest…it's virtually torture at this point." Jacque leaned back against a billboard while Angel glared at him. "See, she's still scowling at me for that little jab about her British history or whatever."

"Everytime I gain a little faith that you're starting to better yourself, it immediately slips away from you. I guess shame on me for expecting anything out of you…you weasel." Angel continued to glare, but Jacque just kept on snickering, clearly unbothered by this.

Confessional End

With the other teams from bus one having finally gotten their tips, they were quickly headed over to the boombox. The Dynamic Gamers were one of the first teams to make it there, though Colin already had his piece of tape covering his mouth. Freddy observed his partner carefully as the duo walked together, a relieved smile on his face.

"You know, it's a good thing that the tape is keeping your mouth shut here. If you were an animatronic, you'd be able to just use your powerful robo-jaw to rip it off so you could stuff me into the suit!" Freddy chuckled briefly and then sighed while Colin just watched him with lazy eyes. "Alright, let's see what we got here…" The FNAF-lover pressed the button on the boombox, cueing in the sentence spoken by Duke. "Woah! Talk about a real mouthful! Luckily, my mind is a springtrap- I mean…steel trap! I can remember anything that's thrown about me! Almost in a robotic way! Haha!"

Freddy went back to chuckling as he started running across the geyser field, with Colin following after him. The latter kept a wary eye on his partner, but not so much on the road ahead of him, as he ran right into a bursting geyser. This sent him cascading into the air, but he didn't just land right back where he came from, no. He went flying for quite a distance before ultimately crashing down on top of Angel, who squeaked upon impact.

"Y-you fiend! Get off of me this instant!" Angel protested as loud as she could, though it was admittedly difficult for her to speak as loudly as she was typically known for. Colin struggled to get up, the impact still ringing in his bones while Jacque pointed and laughed a muffled laugh behind his tape. When the gamer finally got off of Angel's back, she struggled back up to her own feet. "Ugh…squashed like an ant…this is humiliating."

"Huh…I guess she's not an animatronic, either." Freddy popped into the conversation from out of nowhere, causing some startled confusion when he was revealed to be right behind Angel. He looked her up and down a bit before giving her a disappointed sigh and brushing past her. "Any animatronic would've gotten back up after that crash with ease…so disappointing, I was banking on her being the hot bait animatronic for this game."

Confessional

"I swear, I'm gonna find out who of these other teams are actually animatronics! There's gotta be at least four of them for this to be a proper FNAF game, so I gotta start seeking 'em out! I do have some top suspects right now, actually!" Freddy dug into his back pocket and pulled out a chart that had quite a few faces on it, but there were big, red circles around Lukas, Andrew, Virgil, and Ursula. "So, let's start with Lukas! He always keeps his mouth shut! Why, you ask? To hide his horrifying metal maw, of course!"

"Uh…I think he's actually just mute, Fredbear." Colin offered his input, but this only gained him a sour look back from Freddy. "Sorry, just go on with your reasons."

"Andrew is the next of my prime suspects! He communicates with electronics…you can only do that if you, yourself are electronic! Haha! Bet he won't have an explanation for that one!" Freddy snickered before suddenly pointing at Virgil. "Virgil! He's the vicious one, the scary one! Every game needs to have one that's just way scarier than the rest! He's dark, mysterious…all ingredients for the perfect spooky animatronic! That just leaves Ursula! Like I said, there needs to be a hot bait animatronic, and with Angel being debunked and Sua being gone, it must be Ursula!"

Confessional End

"With our challenge getting all started, we've got the second bus headed our way with another six teams on board!" Duke spoke over the view of the bus, which had the Mystical Opposites, the Dweebs, the Awkward Neighbors, the Bloody Prom Queens, the Uncomfortable Siblings, and the Bachelorettes on board. It then transitioned over to the view of the dock, which still had the Conservationists, the "Father and Son?," the Psychic and Skeptic, the Glow-Up Gals, and the Basketball Team stuck back there. "Five teams still have yet to even start this leg of the race!"

"Hm…" Sunny stared at the boombox while the sentence spoke back to her, with Lukas standing right next to her. Like the other watchers, he had a piece of tape over his mouth, though he just seemed to think that this was funny as…well, it didn't really have much use at all. "I see, I see…well, it pays for us to be from Sweden! I should be able to pronounce this with no issues at all!"

"Like, that box thing really has a funny voice!" Katie giggled as she pressed down on the button, the boombox spewing its sentence out again. Sadie could be heard mumbling behind her piece of tape, but the words weren't so clear to anyone. "I think I could do this pretty easy though! Oh, good luck, Sunny!" The BFFFLs started to race onto the geyser field, but they were suddenly stopped by Sunny rushing in front of them and standing in place. "Woah! You're, like, really fast!"

"Katie, Katie! What are you doing, hm?" Sunny leaned towards Katie with a small grin, the BFFFL completely unsure of what she was doing wrong. "Don't you remember? This botch or watch has whoever didn't swim with the sharks botching! You swam with the sharks last time, which means that Sadie has to say the sentence!"

"Huh? But I thought that Sadie swam with the sharks…didn't you?" Katie turned to look at Sadie, who shrugged her shoulders. "Well…if that's the case, it's a good thing that you caught on! Wouldn't it have been so bad if we got a penalty for the wrong one of us botching?" She giggled a bit as she reached out towards Sadie's face, tearing the tape from her mouth.

"OW!" Sadie squealed, her eyes watering while her partner put the piece of tape over her own mouth. "That hurt, like, soooooo much! Oh well, pain's all over now, which means it's time to get on with this challenge! Thanks again, Sunny!"

"Oh, no problem!" Sunny smiled and waved to the BFFFLs, who were now pressing on through the field, getting well past her. "Heheh…suckers!" While she giggled like a little maniac, Lukas finally caught up to her, staring at the other team a little confused. "O-oh! Hey, Lukas!" He pointed to the tape on his mouth and then pointed at Sadie with a raised eyebrow. "Oh, why doesn't she have the tape? I-I have no idea! I tried to warn them, but they insisted that Katie swam with the sharks! I was only trying to help, but I guess they didn't wanna listen…it made me feel really bad."

Lukas looked at Sunny while she sniffled and forked up some fake tears. He glanced back at the BFFFLs, still confused, but then looked back down to the soft-sobbing Sunny and patted her on the shoulder. His smile couldn't be seen behind the tape, but she could tell from his eyes that he was. He then grabbed her hand in his, and the two started to run along together.

Confessional

"You know, I, like, totally thought that Sunny really didn't like us at first, but her warning us that we were about to go in the wrong order was really nice! I guess she must've started warming up to us, huh?" Sadie giggled while she kicked her feet back and forth. "Oh, Katie! Do you have any more lip gloss? Mine is all out, and the tape really took a bunch of mine off!"

"Sadie…" Katie looked down sadly for a moment, with Sadie joining her…until she pulled out lip gloss from her pocket. "Of course I have more lip gloss! Eeeee!"

"Heheheheh…those BFFFLs are definitely gonna be getting a penalty when Sadie says the sentence instead of Katie! With that, they'll definitely be at a disadvantage and, if I'm lucky, they'll be eliminated tonight!" Sunny chuckled evilly, eventually sighing and smiling at the camera. "At the very least, their placement in the race will drop down while Lukas and I's will stay up! That gives me more alone time with my sweet, European man!"

Confessional End

"Ah!" Sophie perked her head up as she ran across the geyser field with Bea, who had tape over her mouth. The grandma looked at her granddaughter, wondering why she felt the need to suddenly shout like that. "Strangest thing is happening, troop master! I smell something fishy…something really fishy! Like…someone is lying to someone else for their own personal benefit! …W-which I would never do, of course! That's why it's so fishy!"

"Mmmph?" Bea looked even more confused when Sophie started getting all jumpy, and she noticed that she was sweating a lot.

"I don't know exactly who it is, but I can just smell them! They reek of lies and jailbait!" Sophie scanned the geyser field, looking at each and every one of the other teams before her eyes landed on Sunny, who was smiling in an unfamiliar manner. She narrowed her eyes at her fellow adolescent, "Something's off about Sunny…and I'm gonna get to the bottom of it! Oh, maybe I can earn my Ace Detective patch if I crack this!"

"Mmamme mmemmemmmmimme mmammmmmm?" Bea was unfamiliar with the patch, and she had to consult the Wilderness Girls manual. She flipped through a good deal of pages before landing on one of the last ones, which had that patch listed on it. "Mm…"

Confessional

"S-so…maybe I have been going a bit too far with the patch adding. I mean, I ran out of regular pages in the book, so I've had to fandangle some in with hot glue!" Sophie held up the manual to show the last ten pages, all of which seemed to be glued in, as she had said. "It's a miracle my grandma hasn't found out yet…but I guess that's why she doesn't have an Ace Detective patch, yet! Haha! Hahaha! Ah…am I being a hypocrite?"

Confessional End

"Ugh…this is so lame…" Kotomi groaned as he stared out the window of the second bus, Mitsuki sitting right next to him. "Not only do I have to be on some greasy, public bus, but I have to share a seat with you! I hate sharing seats with you!" As he barked his complaints, he heard no response from Mitsuki, which just annoyed him even more. He glanced over his shoulder to see that she was facing the aisle, leaning her head down a bit. "The hell are you doing?"

"...N-nothin'..." Mitsuki mumbled, but Kotomi was almost certain he heard her giggling…as well as the giggles of one other person. "J-just keep doing what you're doing…"

"Eh!? Where's the 'why do you hate me so much?' The 'I just wanna spend time together?' What are you doing that's so much more interesting than what you usually do?" Kotomi tugged his sister by the shoulder, getting her to turn towards him and reveal a drastic amount of yellow eye shadow circling her eyes, as well as yellow lipstick to match. "Ah! Jesus, did the butter monster make out with you or something!?"

"You're so silly! It's called a makeover, ya ding-a-ling!" Kotomi peeked past Mitsuki's head to see Olive in the seat across from them, her hands full of yellow makeup. Becky sat next to her, though she didn't seem too interested in what was happening between Mitsuki and Olive. "Did you wanna be next? I dunno if Becky would approve of you being an honorary member of the band…whaddya think, Becks?"

"No." Becky spat out her cold answer and went back to minding her own business, leaving Kotomi completely shocked.

"Well, this is just…I'm just…hmph!" Kotomi angrily turned to face the window again, crossing his arms and refusing to look at the three girls next to him.

"Oh…?" A small smile started crawling onto Mitsuki's face as she tapped her brother's cheek with her index finger. "I think I know what that tone in your voice means…you're jealous of me."

"I ABSOLUTELY AM NOT JEALOUS OF YOU! HA!" Kotomi's laugh was clearly forced and sarcastic, which only brought more smugness to Mitsuki's face. "You stop looking at me like that, you grease monster! I would never be jealous of you, not in a million years! So what if you're hanging out with a bunch of goth babies? Who cares? Pfft, don't make me laugh!"

"Okay…" Mitsuki kept on grinning as she turned back to Olive, faintly whispering, "Jealousy is a funny color on you."

"I'M NOT JEALOUS!"

Confessional

"There's no chance I would ever be jealous of Mitsuki, especially considering just how pathetic she is! She barely knows how to pull herself out of bed in the morning!" Kotomi gritted his teeth and glared off to the side, with Mitsuki still smugly grinning next to him. "If you don't stop it with that smug look, I'm gonna smack it right off of your face!"

"Okay, Jealous Jamie." Mitsuki giggled for a second, but true to his word, Kotomi slapped her across the face. "...Harsh…"

Confessional End

"And the second bus has finally arrived at the geyser field, bringing our team count there up to fourteen! Of course, this also means that bus number three, which is carrying the Conservationists, the 'Father and Son?,' the Psychic and Skeptic, the Glow-Up Gals, and last episode's low placers, the Basketballers, is on the way!" Duke chanted his hostly chant as the third bus finally left in search of the geyser field.

Confessional

"While we may be starting off in last place for this leg of the race, I think things will go much more swimmingly for us than they did last time around." Conroy's glasses started to slip, but Mika was quick to reach up and adjust them for him, catching him off guard and causing him to blush. "U-Uh…w-what I was saying was…uh…"

"With Kurt and Evander out of our hair, we won't have to worry about getting as worked up and stressed as we did the last time! We don't have any issues with any of the other teams yet, so it's definitely smooth sailing for us!" Mika shot a fake basketball into the air and then formed a hoop with her arms, making a "swish" sound as the invisible basketball passed through. Conroy blankly stared at her while she giggled. "G-get it? Smooth? Swish? No bumping on the rim? Ah, forget it."

"Ah…ah…finally…across that field…those geysers had more jumpscare potential than any animatronic I've ever seen!" Freddy panted as he fell to the ground before the swan girl, who looked down at him with a smile. "Right! I'm supposed to tell you that sentence!"

"Já!" She chirped back at him in her cutesy voice, but it didn't seem to deter either him or Colin.

"Right! Uh…vinsamlegast…gefðu mér næsta…ferðaráð…?" With the swan girl just staring at Freddy without a single peep, he could only cross his fingers and close his eyes. Soon enough, she smiled and held out the travel tip, right in front of his face. "A-ah! Sweet!"

"Blech…" Colin tore the tape from his mouth and tossed it to the ground, some of the hairs from his beard ripping off with it. "Eck…can't say that was a fun sticky situation. What's the tip say, Fredbear?"

"It says…uh…we're about to go take a helicopter to…Skaftafell National Park! That's where we find our next tip!" Freddy suddenly hunched forward, a shadow covering his face, "And where I find out more about the animatronics in our midst!" A helicopter started to descend to a landing spot nearby and, once it made its landing, Colin and Freddy rushed onto it, taking a seat at the head of it.

"The Dynamic Gamers have got the lead in this for the first time ever, but they can't just take off yet! There needs to be seven teams on board before anyone heads to the national park!" After Duke said his piece, the view transitioned to bus number three and the ten passengers within it.

"Sitting on a bus with your old man…sure does remind you of old times, doesn't it, sport?" James laughed a hearty laugh and patted Elliott on the back. The "son" sighed and looked down at his hands, which were pathetically phoneless, leaving him with no way to escape conversation with his "dad." James noticed his sullen attitude and frowned a bit, "Hey, there, sport…still upset about the phone?"

"Little bit…that thing was basically the only thing keeping me sane. Now it's like I've got voices in my head that are telling me to jump in front of the bus." Elliott sighed again, slouching back against the seat he was in.

"You know, sport, while I'm all about living the dangerous life, there's definitely some limits to what we should be doing. Don't wanna cause this poor company a lawsuit now, do you?" James chuckled, but Elliott seemed to be actually considering that possibility. "Er, anyways! I know you're down, but…maybe a magic trick would make you feel a bit better?"

"A magic trick? Dad, I'm not twelve." Elliott rolled his eyes and looked away from James, but it wasn't of any use, as the geezer shifted around to be in front of him again. "Ugh…whatever. If it's gonna get your rocks off just get it over with."

"Alright! See how my hands are all empty?" James raised his hands up, wiggling his fingers a bit to show there was nothing in them. Elliott nodded, but it was pretty clear that he wasn't really paying any attention. "Well, watch as I make this random doohickey appear out of thin air! Fwoosh!" James clapped his hands together and, when he pulled them apart, he revealed a shiny, new phone from a big name company in his hands. Elliott gasped as he saw the phone, "Pretty neat trick, right?"

"T-that's amazing! Is that…" Elliott pointed at the phone and looked up to James, who smiled and nodded. With a grin wide as can be, he took the phone from his "dad's" hands. "Oh, thank you, thank you! I don't know how I can thank you properly for this! I just gotta…eh?" When he went to turn the phone on, a lock screen popped up, asking for the password. "Uh…huh…dad, what's the password to this?"

"Aha, not so fast, sport! I know you wanna jump right into your memays and your Grumpy Birds, but I can't just let you do that during a leg of the race, no siree! I have conditions for that there phone!" Elliott's grin started fading into a frown as James chuckled. "First thing is first! You can only use the phone after we finish the leg of the race! Second thing's second! To enforce the first thing, I'll be changing the password at the start of each leg! We're here to compete and spend time together, and that's just what we're gonna do, got it?"

"Ugh…fine, whatever, dad." Elliott grumbled and went back to slouching in his seat while James just smiled at his brilliance. A few seats back, Arnold had been watching the whole thing, and was shaking his head.

"Psh…as if anyone believes that magic trick had any magic in it whatsoever. Simple sleight of hand is all that is." He continued to shake his head until he noticed Aisling, whose jaw had dropped as she stared at the other team.

"H-how!? In all my years, I've never learned the mystical arts to do something like that!" Arnold looked absolutely defeated as he saw how genuinely impressed Aisling was.

Confessional

"See, I know my boy loves his phone, which is why I was so eager to replace it! But he's gotta focus on the game before anything else!" James chuckled, and Elliott still looked pissed off. "So, you texting any girls yet? Hm?"

"Dad, shut up." Elliott didn't even look up at James, completely ignoring his cheesy dad grin.

Confessional End

Back at the geyser field, the teams from bus one were still racing in hopes to keep their lead. Some teams didn't have too tough of a time, namely the Vicious Pop Stars, the Wilderness Girls, the BFFFLs, and the Sailor America Fans, though things weren't going so swimmingly for others, like Michael and Virgil, who were currently wedged in a geyser together. Virgil's eyebrow twitched as they were both pressed close against each other.

"Aye aye, Virgilio! I can feel our tooshies rubbing together in the geyser! This is no good! It's gonna shoot out a bunch of hot water soon!" As Michael spoke, Virgil's eye twitching got even worse, and it was clear that he wanted to tear the tape right from his mouth. "Oh no! I can feel it! It's about to burst!" After the YouTuber said that, the water shot out of the geyser, blasting both of the boys into the air. They came crashing down hard, landing near Marty and Xavier, who were in the same situation. "Oh, look! They're rubbing tooshies, too!"

Confessional

"There's only one pro about this situation: Xavier can't offer to randomly help other people and consequently cause our own team to fall behind." Marty smiled lightly while Xavier whimpered behind the tape. "Oh, relax, I'm just messin' with you a bit."

Confessional End

"Alright, what was it that I was supposed to say to you?" Angel tapped her chin as she stood before the swan girl, who was still smiling cutely and innocently. "Right, it was something like…flibban flabben goober geeber travel tippy viking canoe. That's it, right?" Swan girl frowned slightly and shook her head, which irritated Angel. "Bollocks! You and your silly language are testing my patience!"

"Landið mitt heldur að minnsta kosti ekki að við stjórnum heiminum og höfum fundið upp allt. Hmph." Swan girl turned her nose up at Angel, who grumbled and started heading back across the geyser field. Jacque kept standing at that end of it, his eyes showing that he was smirking something fierce.

Confessional

"I confess, a lot of these other European languages sound the same to me at times. It's like they're all a bunch of cartoon characters! Now, do tell, how am I supposed to take them seriously like that? Hm?" Angel looked to be pretty annoyed before she suddenly looked away from the camera and stroked her chin. "Hm…maybe Jacque was right about me earlier…"

Confessional End

"Vinsamlegast gefðu mér næsta ferðaráð!" Logan beamed as she said the sentence to the swan girl, who nodded and handed over the tip. Of course, Logan didn't even thank her, as she just snatched the tip right from her hand. "Heheh! People should start calling me Miss Worldwide with how amazingly bilingual I am! Let's go, Evan!"

"O-oh, right!" Evan watched as Logan rushed onto the helicopter, but before he followed, he looked back to the girl before him. "Thank you, Icelandic lady!" She smiled back at him and waved and he soon ran off after his cousin. Back on the geyser field, teams from bus two were now getting a move on.

"Agh! Dammit, Phoebe! Let me ride you like a skateboard or something so this water stops splashing all over me! It's the least you could do to be somewhat useful while your mouth is taped shut!" Jamie Lynn barked at Phoebe, who let out a muffled sigh behind her tape covering. She failed to notice that she had stopped on top of a geyser, and water soon shot up, blasting her into the air. "Ha! That's what you get for not paying atten-" Like her partner, Jamie Lynn had stopped on top of a geyser, and shot up into the air. The two stared at each other as they floated in the air for a moment, with Jamie Lynn glaring. "Don't look at me like that! I know you're judging me!"

"Gotta run all the way back to that boombox, this is ridiculous! Ugh, I'm sweating an ocean with all this running and hot water." Angel groaned and panted as she ran, with the Dweebs running close by her.

"You know, I could lick all that sweat up for you if you wanted. I'm quite parched!" Richard grinned, but Angel just glared back in disgust. "Suit yourself!"

Confessional

"I like to think of myself as a very kink-friendly man. If you're kinky, I'm friendly to you!" Richard snickered for a moment, but like usual, he was bopped on the head by the sheath of Andrew's katana. "Argh! Andrew, I'm gonna shove that thing so far up your ass, I swear! …Actually, no…you might like that."

Confessional End

"T-this is a lot more dangerous than I expected it to be. Are you at least having fun, Flora?" Helena called back to her girlfriend, but she didn;t hear any muffled noises around her. "Flora?" She turned around to see that Flora was still standing back at the start of the geyser field, just staring at the ground with saddened eyes. "Oh dear…well, at least I haven't gotten that far yet." Helena started to book it back to the start of the field, stopping when she reached Flora and placing a hand on her shoulder. "Flora, you okay?"

"Mm…" Flora's muffled voice had enough emotion to show that she was upset, which only made Helena feel upset in turn.

"Flora…I know you're not used to people yelling at you like that, but…well, that just happens sometimes. That's the way the world works…not everyone is gonna like you…and some people are gonna hate you. It's just how it goes…" Flora didn't look up from the ground, bringing more sadness to Helena. "Look…we can have a long talk about this later, okay? It's not gonna be a very fun talk, but…I've been holding off on telling you for long enough now. You deserve to know what the world is like."

"Mm mm…" Flora slightly looked up, her eyes filled with tears. The very sight of it just made Helena feel absolutely terrible.

"I'm sorry, Flora…" Helena rubbed her girlfriend's cheek lightly before noticing that Ursula and Lady Belle were still standing by the boombox, not even trying to run onto the field. "Uh…aren't you two going to try to get to the local?"

"Why don't you mind your own business, sweetie? It's just rude to go snooping around in other people's affairs." Ursula pulled a fan from her bosom, using it to cool herself down while she waited.

"MM MM!" Lady Belle pointed at the fan, aggressively mumbling behind her tape.

"Oh, do forgive me, Lady. I simply borrowed the fan from you it's not like I'm stealing it forever." Ursula giggled, but the fan was snatched back by the much stronger Lady Belle, bringing her some annoyance. At that point, the third bus finally arrived, allowing the passengers it was carrying to run over to the dukebox to get their next tip. "Well, well! The men we've been waiting for have finally arrived!"

Confessional

"See, we both want to win the hearts of either James or Elliott, so it truly seems pointless for us to just rush on ahead and waste any time spent with them." Ursula smiled sweetly at the camera while Lady Belle plucked her own eyebrows to make them look sharper. "If that means we'll get stuck in some lower places for a little while, so what? At least we'll get to have some time alone with our future hubbies!"

Confessional End

"Ohhhhhh boys! Yoohoo!" James could hear Ursula's nagging voice calling from the boombox, but as he opened his mouth to respond to her, tape was slapped against it.

"Geez, dad…you're gonna embarrass me in front of those hot chicks with your lame jokes, you should be glad that tape is there to prevent you from doing that." Elliott snickered and lifted his cap to slick his curly hair back before dropping the hat back down and casually walking over to Ursula and Lady Belle. "H-hey ladies! What, uh…what's up?"

"Oh, you know…we just thought it would be nice if we all got to help each other out in this race, so we went and waited for you two to show up! We just find you both really…" Ursula watched as James walked over, checking for something in his wallet, which was absolutely loaded with cash. Her pupils seemed to turn into dollar signs as she ogled the money. "...Interesting."

"Mhm!" Lady Belle strutted towards Elliott, rubbing her hands against his muscular biceps and cooing behind her tape.

"Y-yeah, well, you know, me and my pops are totally interesting pretty much every single day. Like, this one time, there was this dude at the office that ate my leftovers from the fridge, so I punched him right in the jaw." Elliott chuckled while James deadpanned at the camera. "Almost got fired for that one, but you know how work goes. Just gotta intimidate the head honchos with some…hrngh!" Elliott flexed as impressively as he could, his face turning red and sweating a lot. "M-muscle!"

"Mmmm…mmmm~!" Drool could be seen dripping down past Lady Belle's tape, but she was quick to wipe it away with her handkerchief. "Mm mm mhm mm!"

"I think that Lady's trying to say she really likes your muscles! If you were trying to impress her, it's working!" Lady Belle nodded as Ursula spoke, Elliott finally letting up on the flexing. The taller bachelorette gently rubbed his shoulders while hovering behind him.

"Heheh…yeah, this is the best day of my life." James rolled his eyes and started to walk towards the geyser field, but he was stopped by Ursula grabbing his arm and spinning him around.

"Now, now, James! I know you can't say much of anything right now, but I do think it would be really sweet if you just shared this little walk across the geyser field with me. You can…I dunno…mumble a bit…do some magic tricks…count your money in front of me…" Ursula started to go off and list things, though James was suddenly confused.

"Mm mmnmm?"

"Magic tricks, that's what I was talking about! Haha, you don't take me for one of those girls that cares about how much money a man makes, do you? Really, I'm more interested in spending time and having fun with you." Ursula playfully tapped her finger against James' nose, though he didn't seem convinced, and he just started walking again. She pouted a bit, looking over to see that Lady Belle was staring at her with taunting eyes. "Oh, I'll get him…just gonna take me some extra work."

Confessional

"I seem to recall Elliott…telling me all about that whole leftovers in the fridge incident. I really think that you should label your leftovers with a name if you don't want other people to take them, but…that's just my perspective." James rubbed his jaw as he recalled the story.

Confessional End

"Alright, troop master! Prepare to be astounded by my amazing translation skills! Ahem, vinsamlegast gefðu mér næsta ferðaráð!" Sophie spoke the sentence proudly to the swan girl, who smiled and handed her the next tip. "Mm-mm! I can almost taste the International Voice Master Patch!"

"Ack!" Bea tore the tape off of her mouth, gently rubbing her face afterwards. "International Voice…I don't remember that…yeesh, my age must really be catching up with me! I don't think I've recognized a single patch that you mentioned to me in the past week!"

"Heheh…y-yeah! Silly, old grandma!" Sophie laughed nervously, trying her best to avoid eye contact while Bea started to get suspicious. As soon as she was about to press the matter further, another team rushed up to join them.

"Vinsamlegast gefðu mér næsta ferðaráð! Did I get it? Did I get it?" Sunny bounced up and down excitedly before the swan lady, who smiled and handed off the travel tip. "Yus! I think I deserve a kiss on the cheek for a job well done!" She leaned up towards Lukas, turning her cheek to him and closing her eyes, only for Sophie to shrug and kiss her on the cheek instead. "Ack! Sophie!?"

"How else am I supposed to get my Cheek Kissing patch, hm?" Sophie shrugged, with Bea's suspicion growing even more. "But that's beside the point! That was some pretty impressive stuff! It takes a lot to memorize other languages…maybe we should both get that translator patch!"

"Patch? I never did anything like being a girl scout, so I don't think I've gotten any patches before." Sophie looked absolutely appalled by what Sunny had said, her eyes wide as could be. "What?"

"You've never gotten a single patch!? Grandma, we have to let her be a Wilderness Girl with us! She needs to experience the joy of collecting patches!" The young scout faced her troop master, bouncing up and down and pleading as best as she could.

"M-maybe that could be arranged…but I think I'd better take a good look into the manual. My mind is just so foggy on all of these patches. I might even have to call headquarters about this to confirm this all." As Bea mentioned talking to headquarters, Sophie seemed to die a little inside. "Unless…you know something about all of this, young scout?"

"U-u-um…"

"Vinsamlegast gefðu mér næsta ferðaráð!" The two teams hardly noticed a third team approaching the swan girl, but they all recognized the voice pretty much immediately as Sadie's. Bea and Lukas looked equally confused when they turned to see the BFFFLs, who were being handed their travel tip by the swan lady. "Like, I did it, Katie!"

"Eep!" Katie squeaked when she ripped the tape off of her mouth, "Like, you totally did do it! Eeeee!"

"And you, like, totally just got yourselves a twenty minute penalty!" Duke jumped in from out of nowhere, slamming a penalty clock down right next to Katie and Sadie. The two gasped together while the host just laughed, "I know that you two pretty much share a brain and all, but it can't be that difficult to remember which one of you has to botch next! Katie was supposed to say the sentence, so you guys are stuck here until the timer runs out."

"But, like…Sunny said that…" Sadie thought about it for a moment before gasping again. "Katie! We were tricked!"

"Like, I know! That makes me so…so…angry!" Katie glared and crossed her arms before sitting her butt down next to the timer. Sadie joined her in sitting there, though she looked a lot more sullen.

"My, my…it looks like your partner has caused these girls quite a good amount of strife, Lukas." Bea and Lukas looked between each other, with the latter just seeming puzzled. They jointly turned back to face their partners, but it seemed that both of the young girls had already gotten onto the helicopter to avoid being interrogated further.

Confessional

"Sophie, you don't think Lukas is gonna be made at me for slipping the BFFFLs up, do you?" Sunny whimpered as she thought of the very possibility of Lukas being upset with her.

"I'm not sure, Sunny, but lying is never the right thing to do. Coming clean about it may help your case, mhm." Sophie nodded with her eyes closed, eventually opening them to see Sunny scowling back at her. "E-eh!? Don't look at me like that! I'm not lying, I'm just…being creative and making some new fun things for me and my grandma to try and achieve while we're here together!"

"That's just a bunch of fancy hoohah to say that you're lying but make it look like you have good intentions." Sunny shook her head disappointedly and soon enough, Sophie was glaring back at her.

"W-well, you're trying to get Lukas put on a registry! There, I said it!" Sunny gasped while Sophie crossed her arms and nodded. The two glared between each other and eventually started to get into a little slap fight.

Confessional End

"We've got four teams already on the helicopter and ready to soar to the national park, but they still can't depart until another three teams get it right. With each team now at the geyser field, and Sadie and Katie timed out for another seventeen minutes, it's just about anybody's game!" Duke continued to announce while a dilapidated Michael and Virgil approached the swan girl.

"H…hi…there…uh…yes…I was…supposed to tell you something…mig langar að kyssa Virgils rassinn."

"Þetta eru aðeins of miklar upplýsingar…" The swan lady blushed a bit, shaking her head and not passing the tip over to the duo.

"W-what? But I thought I got it right? What did I say!?" Michael looked confusedly at Virgil, who looked furious with him. "U-uh oh…maybe I will just go back and you can cool down a bit, Virgilio!" With that, Michael burst off back across the geyser field, with Virgil groaning and slouching against a nearby sign.

"Ertu kærastinn hans?" The swan girl tilted her head at Virgil in question, to which he just sighed and shook his head back at her.

"We're here! Finally, we're here…" Marty groaned and hunched over a bit while Xavier just flopped on the ground near him. "Hey, local lady…uh…vinsamlegast gefðu mér næsta ferðaráð. I think I got that right…" The swan lady smiled and nodded, giving Marty his tip. "Aw yeah! Oh, I should probably do this now, huh?" He reached down to Xavier, tearing the tape right off of his mouth. "There ya go, dude."

"...YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWCH!" Xavier's cry of pain could be heard all across the nation, shattering the eardrums of generations to come.

Confessional

"You're really overreacting about the tape thing." Marty rolled his eyes while Xavier looked away from him and scowled off into the distance. "I bet even Cheese thinks you're overreacting." Cheese peeked his head out of Xavier's pocket, showing that he was incredibly disoriented from the loud noise. "Yup, Cheese agrees."

"You should've at least warned me…my face is on fire right now." Xavier huffed from his nose, the warm air that he expelled brushing against his raw lips. "OW!"

Confessional End

"We made it! I knew ditching everything but my underwear was gonna help increase my speed!" Richard beamed as he stood before the swan girl with a grin on his face and a…lack of clothing. She saw him and blushed, covering her eyes with her hands. "Aw, no need to be so shy. I get it, my masterful physique really gets the ladies swooning, so…go ahead, feel free to look…and touch."

"Mm?" Oddly, the muffling that Richard heard didn't come from Andrew, he was still silently trying to get into his app with Mitsuki-Chan off to the side. It did, however, come from Phoebe, who had just made it to the same area with Jamie Lynn by her side. Seeing Richard in just her underwear didn't exactly make her blush, but it did seem to make her eye twitch…especially when she noticed that the swan lady was the one who he was showing off to. She suddenly reached her hand up into the air, staring down at her feet while just holding her hand there.

"Phoebe, what on Earth are you doing? Ugh, whatever, I don't have time for your silly games. Vinsamlegast gefðu mér næsta ferðaráð. There, I said your thing, gimme the tip." Jamie Lynn held her hand out to the swan lady, who handed a tip onto her, but did her best to keep her eyes covered. "Right, cool, whatever, helicopter. Don't take too long, loser." She groaned and went on ahead without Phoebe, who was still just standing there with her hand extended.

"Eh, guess I should probably say that thing too, right? Vinsamlegast gefðu mér næsta ferðaráð." Richard sighed when the swan girl finally gave him the tip he was waiting for. "Y'know, would've been cool if you weren't so shy. Let's go, Andrew."

"I agree…let's." The tape mystically flew off of Andrew's mouth, disappearing in the wind while he and his partner headed onboard the helicopter. The swan lady finally uncovered her eyes, seeing only Phoebe standing before her.

"You…you…" Her hand was still empty, but only for a second more, as if by some call of nature, a red baseball cap flew right into it. She slapped it down upon her head, spinning it around so that it was facing backwards before looking up at the swan lady with a completely different aura from before. "Yo, bitch! You think you got any business looking at my man like that? That's right, my man! Let me tell you something, bitch. You ain't nothing, you ain't never gonna be nothing, you hear me? You think you're cute or something? I take shits cuter than you when I wake up after a night of spicy Mexican food. Stay in your fuckin' lane, bitch."

The swan lady was absolutely dumbfounded at what had just been said to her, and looked to be quite hurt by it. Phoebe then took the baseball cap off of her head and hid it away in her hoodie. For some reason, she seemed to be in a bit of a trance after this, as she walked on to the helicopter with her mouth open and her eyes drooping.

Confessional

"That's right, bitches! Ain't no way this dumb bitch could keep the amazing Libby Grace out of the game just by leaving her hat back at home!" Libby snorted and sneered at the camera, "I'm hot shit, and hot shit always finds a way to take center stage. That being said, it was pretty bold of her, trying to keep me out and all. Gotta applaud her for guts…the minimal amount of guts she's got, anyways." She continued to snort with her laughter, the psychoticness of her being shown quite clearly.

"Oh, what's that? Why didn't I show up sooner? Why didn't I 'throw the game' like last time?" Libby scoffed and crossed her arms, glaring at the camera all the while. "Listen up, bitches. I'm the only person that decides when and when not to use my precious time, got it? This time around, I've got something a bit interesting to toy with…my man." She proudly held up a picture of Richard, though she still just looked psychotic. "See, this man here knows how to appreciate a bitch. That's right, I been listening to him rave about how Libbylicious I am! That's why I'm stickin' round! Better be ready for a whole lot more of me, cause I ain't leaving, bitches!"

Confessional End

"Now, with so many teams either struggling to make it through the the geyser field, or continuously failing to say the sentence the right way, we've got our top seven teams already arriving at the ice caves in the national park! Those jabronis are just about to get their next tip, woo!" Duke's outrageous announcement burst loudly over the view of the helicopter touching down in the national park. It soon dumped out the seven teams, all of which rushed to the next dukebox. The first team to reach it was the Dynamic Gamers, still on a good streak so far.

"Alright, next challenge is an either or. Stay home and dissociate or force yourself to go out in public." Colin chuckled at his own joke, but Freddy more or less just seemed confused, it flying right over his head. "Right, nevermind…it's feast or fossil."

"That's right! I hope you didn't forget about the either ors like I did for the past few days, heh!" Duke touched down on the ground out of nowhere, standing up next to a long table with a bunch of sliver dishes with lids on them set out. "This either or will have our teams either dining on a traditional Icelandic mystery feast…" The camera shifted to show Duke now standing in an ice cave, with a fossil-filled icy wall behind him. "Or head into the ice caves to find and dig out an intact fossil from the freezing cold ice walls!" He knocked his fist against the ice, causing it to rumble a bit.

"After the chosen task is all said and done with, the team will either have to bring their empty plate or their intact fossil…" The camera transitioned again, now showing Duke standing on top of a chill zone. "...To the next chill zone! The last team to arrive is…you guessed it…out of here!"

The seven teams looked between each other for a bit, each still deciding what to do before they finally started to split up. The Dynamic Gamers, the Vicious Pop Stars, and the Friendly Duo headed for the table while the Dweebs, the Awkward Neighbors, the Sailor America Fans, and the Wilderness Girls booked it to the caves, each grabbing a pickaxe near the entrance before heading in…all except for Andrew. Back at the table, Duke slammed his fist down on it, causing the lids on the platters to fly up and reveal a horrifying meal.

"Yup! This meal certainly is something, isn't it? Kinda looks like roadkill, but, hey, someone out there thinks this tastes good, so who am I to judge?" Duke shrugged his shoulders before pointing down at the platters, "You've got your putrified shark, your pickled herring, some cured ram, a heap of broiled puffins, and one delicious, singed sheep head! Just looking at it makes me wanna vomit! In fact…" The host suddenly had his face turn green, and he barfed off to the side while the three teams nervously looked at their meals.

Confessional

"You know, I could say that I really regret choosing the feast over the fossil, but I dunno…kinda makes me feel a little ballsy. We all know I could use the confidence." Colin chuckled for a brief moment, but soon noticed that Freddy was right next to him, thoroughly inspecting the singed sheep head. "Uh…whatcha doin', Fredbear?"

"Isn't it obvious? I'm checking the teeth on this thing to determine if its an animatronic or not! Get with the program, Colin!" Freddy scoffed and went back to looking at the head while Colin deadpanned at the camera.

Confessional End

"Come…on…Flora! We have to get a move on!" Helena grunted as she started pushing Flora forth through the geyser field. Her partner wasn't really using her legs, and more or less was just letting herself be pushed around while she kept staring at the ground. "W-who cares about Logan, anyways? She's not very nice! Do you even want to be friends with a person like her?"

"Mm…" Flora mumbled before briefly sighing behind her tape mask, getting a sigh back from Helena, who started to push against her even harder.

"Vinsamlegast gefðu mér næsta ferðaráð, mhm, gurl!" Vanessa spoke her team's sentence, and the swan girl politely nodded to her and handed her the travel tip she needed. "Aw, yeah! Look at that, Karma! First try!"

"Eep! It would seem so, dahling. Though, I never doubted your abilities for a moment." Karma slowly clapped for her partner after having ripped the tape off of her mouth, which miraculously didn't do any damage to her makeup job.

"Yeah, I know you're always there to be my personal cheerleader, gurl! Speaking of cheering people on," Vanessa turned to look at the swan lady, nodding while she checked her dress out. "You definitely rock that dress, girlfriend. Making you look like a real swan princess if you know what I'm saying. Hold on a minute, before we head out of here…what's your name, swan princess?"

"Katla!" The girl smiled while she spoke her name, being glad that someone was actually talking to her like she was a person rather than just a part of the challenge. "Ég vildi að ég gæti talað betri ensku; þetta samtal væri betra fyrir okkur bæði."

"Gurl, I ain't got a clue what you just said, but I'll tell you what. Karma and I are gonna be heading back home after this show's all over and we'll take up some lessons in Icelandic. Imma want you as a model, so it only makes sense that I would have to speak your language before truly asking you to do that." Katla seemed a bit stunned by the offer that Vanessa had put out, and wasn't even sure how to respond.

"Of course, dahling, she won't be the only one around that will want to show off your beauty. I think a fitting makeup choice would be something glassy, delicate, and graceful, just as the dress you wear and your form. Your face will be all over the news after we're through with you…it'll be mahvelous." Karma and Vanessa patted Katla on the shoulders before running on ahead to the second helicopter, which was just now landing.

Confessional

"You may be wondering how me and Karma got so far ahead of all the other teams when we were stuck way far in the back of the race. Well, that's actually pretty simple, mhm. See, the other teams were so busy getting caught up in those geysers or getting distracted, they just couldn't match up to our focus and determination." Vanessa, as she typically did, was bobbing her head from side to side, but she suddenly stopped and winced. "Ack! Neck cramp!"

"Dahling, I really think you need to cut back on the head bobbing…pretty soon, you'll end up just like a bobble head." Karma giggled lightly and reached up to gently massage Vanessa's neck. "Feeling better?"

"Much better, gurl."

Confessional End

After the Glow-Up Gals made it onto the helicopter, more teams were finally starting to get the phrase right. Angel had made her way back to Katla and got it right on her second try, with Jacque still laughing at her…until she forcefully ripped the tape off of his mouth, leaving a big red mark on his face. He cried out in pain, but she simply rolled her eyes and dragged him onto the helicopter. After them, it was both Olive and Kotomi who took their turns saying the phrase. Miraculously, they got it right, though Olive did seem to struggle at first.

"Psh, easiest botch or watch ever. Let's go, Mitsuki," Kotomi started heading towards the helicopter, but he noticed that Mitsuki wasn't following him. He turned back to see her crouched down, giving Olive a light pat on the head. "Oh for the love of…"

"T-that was a really good job you just did, Olive. You pronounced all those funny sounds the right way." Mitsuki looked to be genuinely happy as she was over with the Bloody Prom Queens, something that just seemed to aggravate Kotomi even more. "O-oh…maybe we can go get ice cream or something after this leg is over, hm?"

"Ice cream! Aw, heck! I love ice cream! Becky, Becky, Becky! Can we get ice cream after, puhlease!?" Olive grabbed Becky by the shoulders and started to aggressively throttle her while waiting for an answer.

"Fine, whatever, I don't care…I just wanna get mine with lots of cherry syrup on top." Becky licked her lips with a bloodthirsty look in her eyes, "I like to pretend it's blood and I'm a creature of the night."

"O…okay…we can get you as much cherry syrup as you want." Mitsuki stood back up, holding Olive's hand in her left and Becky's hand in her right. The three walked together to the helicopter, passing by a clearly agitated Kotomi.

"Y-you're letting those children use you, Mitsuki! You're being a fool!" It was odd that he called them children, considering that he was only two years older than Becky, but nobody questioned it…mainly because nobody was listening to him. "Agh! Stop ignoring me!" Begrudgingly, he chased after his sister and her new friends.

Confessional

"Our mom is a total weakblood…she's like as much of a mom as a bush is to the dirt that it's rooted in. We make all the money and she just leeches off of us like it's nobody's business." Becky scoffed as she held up a picture of her mother, which burned to a crisp in her hand.

"W-well, she doesn't have a job or nothin', but she's still fun to have around…sometimes…kinda…a little…not really…" Olive did try to defend her mother, but it seemed that she was unable to. She sighed and slouched forward, but then shook her head and shot back up. "B-but that's not important, right now! We're hanging out with Mitsuki, and she's like our show mom! She's got the dark and creepy look that Becky wants in us, too, so that's a plus."

"Urk…as long as you're saying that as a compliment, I guess it's fine…" Mitsuki was hiding behind the two girls, and she seemed a bit wounded by being called creepy by them.

Confessional End

"Vinsamlegast gefðu mér næsta ferðaráð!" Zeke spoke with a lot more confidence than many of the other teams that had gone before him, and the confidence was well approved of by Katla, who gave him the next travel tip. "Haha! Takk fyrir ferðaábendinguna, Svanakona!"

"Ow!" Lyle shouted out in pain when he ripped the pain from his lips, "Dude, you know how to speak Icelandic? That's insane!"

"Eh, you pick up on some of those skills when there's plenty of animals to be saving! How can we let the locals know what we're trying to do if we don't speak the language?" Zeke chuckled and nodded at Katla before heading onto the helicopter, while Lyle sat behind, still a bit astounded.

"Uh…big thanki for the tippy?" Katla stared back at Lyle in confusion, which made him blush, knowing how ridiculous he sounded. He ran after Zeke, trying his best to hide his shame. Katla continued to watch the geyser field, waiting to see who would be the next to show up, only to see that Arnold and Aisling were booking it straight towards her, with Michael pretty close by.

"Miss Swan! Miss Swan! I'm going to get it right this time, I'm going to get it right this time! Don't you worry, Virgilio! We'll be off soon!" Michael seemed mostly out of breath, and not paying attention to where he was going, which landed him right in an oncoming geyser stream that sent him flying.

"Oh dear…you know, if I had foretold him his fortune, he would've at least had a chance to anticipate that geyser hitting him in the face. Of course, nothing changes fate like that, but he would know about it ahead of time, which is all that matters." Aisling giggled while Arnold rolled his eyes at her, the two now getting very close to Katla.

"U-uh…you know, ladies. I don't mean to ruin the mood or anything, but we've been hanging out back here this whole time and…I think we're starting to fall behind in the challenge." Elliott managed to finally speak up while Lady Belle was rubbing his shoulders, pointing ahead at the geyser field to show them that the other teams were all already out there.

"Oh, good of you to notice, but I assure you, there's no need to worry about it. Lady, would you mind?" Ursula snapped her fingers at Lady Belle like someone would to a dog, which made her glare back at her. Nonetheless, she still obliged, picking up both Ursula and Elliott before spinning around like a cyclone and chucking them across the geyser field at immaculate speeds. Soon after, she ran onto the field herself, scooping up James and jumping into and oncoming stream from one of the geysers, which shot both her and James ahead of the other teams to land right next to their partners. "Thank you, Lady. Now then, vinsamlegast gefðu mér næsta ferðaráð."

"Uh, y-yeah! Vinsamlegast gefðu mér næsta ferðaráð!" Katla smiled at both of the teams that had suddenly flew at her out of nowhere, handing the tips to Elliott and Ursula while Lady Belle and James ripped the tape off of their own mouths. "Man, sweet! Strong women are totally cool so…you know, I dig it."

"Everyone does, little working boy…everyone does." Lady Belle blew a taunting kiss to Elliott, who blushed immensely before she grabbed him by the arm and pulled him onto the helicopter with her, leaving Ursula with James.

"Looks like those two are gonna be sitting next to each other on the copter, so I guess we'd better do the same, huh, James?" Ursula smiled and reached out to grab James' hand, but he yanked his arm away and grumbled. "Ooo…hard to get is such a fun game to play."

"No distractions! Only competition! For money! It's like working, I need the payout at the end!" James blatantly ignored Ursula's advances, heading into the helicopter and sitting right on the floor, rather than in one of the two open seats. She boarded as well, puzzled when she saw him on the floor. "Look, you've got a seat for yourself and one for your purse. Have a hayday with them."

"...Meh." Ursula shrugged and tossed her purse onto the two seats, but sat on the floor with James, who groaned, completely annoyed. "You can hold me tightly during the ride…I'm giving you permission." She stared up at the man seductively, but he just got up from the ground, grabbed her purse, and threw it at her, laying down on the two seats. "J-James!?"

"You didn't want the seats, so I'm taking 'em." James then dug into his back pocket, grabbing a newspaper and starting to read it. He got about halfway through one sentence on it before he suddenly fell asleep, snoring loudly as the paper fell onto his face.

"Your luck with the boys is always so miserable, Ursula. Chin up, though…I'm sure he'll come around." Lady Belle tauntingly giggled at her partner while she let Elliott rest his head against her chest.

Confessional

"Grr…I'm gonna make that old bastard love me whether he wants to or not! I swear it!" Annoyed, Ursula slammed her fist against the wall behind her, "O-ow! I think I just chipped a nail…grr…see, now he's making me ruin my manicure! Oh, you're a de-...you're so gonna fall for me, James!"

Confessional End

"Hmmmmm…now, if I were a fossil, where would I hide?" Sophie tapped her chin while she took a look around the ice cave, not realizing that there was a fossil right in the wall behind her. Bea was a bit further in the cave, looking for fossils there, but not having anymore luck than her granddaughter was. "Well, this challenge has got me stumped, but lucky for me, I wanted to earn my Ice Cave Fossil Finder patch the hard way anyways!"

"Stand back, child! A master is about to go to work!" Sophie saw that Andrew was standing nearby, his hand on his katana's handle while he tilted his head down in a way that had his fedora making a shadow over the bulk of his face. "It takes a true master of the blade to know how to free such a delicate fossil from the ice it's imprisoned within. Do you hear it? The very air has grown thin as paper…the perfect opportunity has made itself clear. Gale Slash Eight: Delicacy." Announcing his special attack, Andrew unsheathed his blade, slicing quickly and purposefully at the ice wall. Miraculously, as he placed his sword back in its sheath, the ice broke around the fossil, leaving it perfectly unscathed. "My Mitsuki-Chan will surely be impressed by this! Won't you?"

"Meh…" Mitsuki-Chan's voice could be heard coming from Andrew's pocket, the disappointed tone causing him to fall to his knees in shock.

"Heh…at least your weeb gimmick can be somewhat helpful, Andrew. Now, quit moping about the digital girlfriend and let's get a move on!" Richard swooped in, grabbing the fossil that had been carved out and booking it for the cave exit. Andrew took a moment to get up, and he took a deep breath while hiding his shame and following after Richard.

"Huh…that was…odd. I think I'm gonna have to go and add an Anime Sword Technique Master patch to the book." Sophie reached into her pocket to grab the manual, not noticing that Lukas was nearby. She started to scribble down the perfect drawing and description of the patch, but before she could finish, it was snatched away from her by the mute boy. "H-Hey! Uh oh…"

"Sophie! For shame…making up new patches and blatantly lying to your own grandma. How do you sleep at night?" Sunny stood at Lukas' side, shaking her head disappointedly at Sophie, who glared back at her.

"P-please, don't tell my grandma! I just wanted to make some more fun things for us to do while we were still in the race, that's all! Honest, I'll come clean when the race is over, just please don't tell her!" Sophie begged and pleaded to Lukas, who was still holding the book in his hands. He thought about it for a bit, but then silently sighed and handed it back to her. "Oh, thank you, thank you! You have my word, when we're done, the lying is done! Now, I gotta go find her…troop master! Where are you?"

"I think she went really deep in the cave…like over that way." Sunny pointed ahead to a rather small, dark path that was just a little ways away from where they were standing. Sophie took one look at it before her eyes went wide. She nervously gulped while she stared ahead, "What's the matter? You aren't still scared of the dark, are you? Heh, I haven't been scared of the dark since two months ago!"

"N-no, I have no fear! A Wilderness Girl knows to charge head on into fear and take life by the horns! E-even if that means going in a dark…cramped…ice cave…" Sophie gulped again, starting to nervously walk towards that path while Lukas and Sunny got back to work.

Confessional

"I have to admit, I'm not all too thrilled about being in tight spaces that are dark. It's not claustrophobia…I don't mind tight spaces if there is light. I…it's just the uncertainty of the darkness. You never know if you're actually gonna make it out on time." Sophie rubbed her hands together while looking around nervously. "I-it'll be fine! Wilderness Girls never give up and never surrender!"

Confessional End

"Helicopter two is on the way with the next seven teams on board, while teams from helicopter one are either still festing, or still digging up their fossils." Duke chanted loudly as the camera panned over the dining table, revealing the three teams that had chosen to feast. Logan, of course, refused to touch any of the food on the platter, leaving Evan to choke it down himself. Marty and Xavier worked together, but the two of them looked like they were about to vomit. On the other hand, there was Colin and Freddy, both of which seemed to be having no trouble with their feast.

Confessional

"So, me and Fredbear pound down tons of junk food on the regular, so this feast is honestly a huge upgrade to what we'd normally be eating. It's like five-star cuisine, you know?" Colin licked the crumbs off of his fingers while Freddy picked the sheep head clean.

"Well, I've concluded that this isn't an animatronic…but it was tasty!" Freddy let out a loud belch and tossed the skull aside, patting his belly after. "I still think I prefer the pizza from Freddy Fazbear, though."

Confessional End

"Come on, Fredbear! We can make it to first at this rate!" Colin and Freddy shot up from the table, with the former holding their empty platter. At the same time, Richard and Andrew finally surfaced from the caves below, the fossil that Andrew carved out still in Richard's hands. The two teams noticed each other almost immediately, and this somehow awoke the competitive spirit in all of them. They all started running as fast they could towards the chill zone, hoping to claim first as Duke watched them. They got closer and closer, and then…

"Ah! Food cramp, food cramp!" Freddy yelped loudly and tumbled forward while clutching his stomach. Colin screeched to a halt to help him up, allowing the Dweebs to pass them by and reach the chill zone first.

"Well done, Dweebs! You guys finished this leg first…can't say that anyone was expecting you to do so well in any of the legs, but here we are." Duke shrugged while Andrew and Richard looked between each other with huge grins on their faces.

Confessional

"Finally! It's really about time that we got some wins…it's a surefire way for us to impress the ladies, if you know what I'm saying." Richard winked at the camera, still only in his underwear and his skin turning a bit blue from how cold the ice caves were.

"Y-yes! The ladies will be impressed by our sudden and decisive victory here, yes?" Andrew grabbed for his phone, hopingly staring at the screen while Mitsuki-Chan just rolled her eyes at him. "Urk…my heart…"

Confessional End

"The Dweebs snatched up first place with no problems while the Dynamic Gamers had to settle for second. With two teams all done with this leg of the race, we've got helicopter two making its landing! Five teams are still stuck back at the geyser fields, and Katie and Sadie's timeout is over in one minute!" With Duke's announcement came the view of the BFFFLs, who were still sadly sitting near Katla and watching the seconds on the timer slowly tick down.

"Ah, it would seem that fate has me going next. Ahem…vinsamlegast gefðu mér næsta ferðaráð. No need to nod…I saw you nodding in a vision and that's all I need. We'll be getting on the helicopter, now! Thank you very much." Aisling smiled at Katla and walked right past her to the third helicopter while Arnold ripped the tape from his mouth.

"She's insane, I know." The rich boy brushed past Katla, who shrugged her shoulders and watched ahead as Mika and Conroy stepped up to the plate, the senior of the duo with tape over his mouth.

"Oho, I got this! Watch, senior, watch! Vinsamlegast gefðu mér næsta ferðaráð!" Mika bounced up and down excitedly, watching as Katla smiled and gave her the tip. "Aw, yeah! I did it! Aren't you proud of me, senior? Oh, right, tape!" She giggled and reached up to Conroy's face, aggressively ripping the tape from his mouth and causing him to whimper a bit.

"E-er…yes, very proud of you, Mika…" Mika smiled at the pained Conroy, and the two of them headed forth to the helicopter.

"And…oh my gosh, Sadie! The timer thingy is up! We can go now, eee!" Katie shot up from the ground with boundless excitement, though Sadie only slowly pulled herself up, letting out a little sigh. "Sadie? What's the matter?"

"Oh, nothing…just still a little upset about Sunny lying to us…I thought she was starting to like us." Sadie whimpered and started trudging ahead while her BFFFL patted her on the back.

"There there…we, like, shouldn't worry about what Sunny does, cause she's just a kid! She's probably just upset that Lukas wasn't giving her all of the attention, you know? She'll start liking us soon enough! …Probably!" Katie shrugged as the two got onboard, leaving just two teams still racing across the geyser field.

"Aye…I'm back…again…Virgilio…bleh…vinsamlegast gefðu mér næsta ferðaráð…please tell me I got it right…please…" Michael fell to the ground at Katla's feet, and she gently placed the travel tip on his head. Virgil finally ripped the tape off of his mouth, taking a big inhale before leaning toward her.

"Your entire country is a sham! Iceland? This place should be called Greenland! False advertising! Your language sounds like a seagull was choking on a loose hot dog! All of you guys look like the same copy paste sex doll!" Virgil continued to go on his rant, but Michael shot up from his tired spell and dragged him away, leaving a shocked Katla to await the slow, painstaking arrival of Helena, who was still pushing Flora with her.

"U…um…hi…v-vinsamlegast gefðu mér næsta ferðaráð…that's it, right?" Helena winced while she waited, but she was given the tip from Katla, giving her some great relief. "Alright, Flora! We can get that tape off of you now!" Flora didn't seem too interested in removing the tape, so Helena did it for her, trying to make it as painless as possible.

"Ow…" Flora mumbled her pained cry, followed by a dreadful sigh, the same sigh that made Helena feel so guilty earlier.

"L-let's just get on the helicopter…" Helena, once again, had to take hold of Flora to bring her along with her, as she still just stared at the ground and wasn't trying.

Confessional

"Flora, please…you have to keep going or we're going to lose…" Helena pleaded with Flora, but the latter simply slumped off to the side and let out another sigh. "A-and…all that sighing hurts to hear…"

Confessional End

"Now, each of our teams has made it to the national park, where they've all split off into either feasting or fossiling! Our feasters look all ready to vomit at the slightest movement, while our fossilers are sweating up a storm trying to carve out their prehistoric findings!" Duke chanted from the chill zone before noticing that Richard and Andrew were still standing on it, though Colin and Freddy had long since moved on from it. "Uh…guys, you don't have to stay here."

"Meh, I'm waiting for those MILFs to swing by." Richard shrugged, and Duke nodded in agreement while Andrew sighed.

"Cool eyeballs…Olive, check this out." Becky grabbed the eyeballs from her team's platter, placing them in her mouth and opening it wide so that everyone could see. Mitsuki and Olive gagged, but the reaction was even worse from the other teams, a good deal of which were vomiting at the very sight. Becky then smirked and swallowed eyeballs whole, showing everyone that they were gone after. "Tasty feast…I think I like Icelandic food."

"Y-yeah, Becks…whatever you say…" Olive cringed and went back to eating, trying her best not to be absolutely disgusted, but not really succeeding in that endeavor.

"We got a fossil, we got a fossil!" Sunny could be heard all the way from the ice caves, as both her and Lukas emerged, the older of the two with a fossil in his hands. They ran past Katie and Sadie, who were solemnly trudging into the caves with their ice picks. Lukas saw them and felt guilty, but he was tugged away by Sunny, who brought him all the way to the chill zone with her minimal strength. "We made it!"

"Yup, you made it! Third place for you guys!" Sunny cheered as her and Lukas moved on, and both of them were soon replaced by Phoebe and Jamie Lynn, who were struggling to carry a fossil together. "Awkward neighbors, fourth place! Not bad, not bad!" Then came the Vicious Pop Stars. Logan looked perfectly fine, but Evan, who was holding the empty platter, seemed just about ready to vomit all over Duke. They were followed by the Friendly Duo, who both looked equally ill while Cheese squeaked a giggle from Xavier's pocket. "Vicious Pop Stars, Fifth. Friendly Duo, sixth."

Confessional

"Fifth!? Talk about a major downgrade from first! Try harder next time, Evan!" Logan kicked Evan right in the shin, causing him to wince a bit. "It's no wonder that people love me so much more than you…you're practically useless!"

"R-right…sorry…" Evan rubbed his shin lightly, still green in the face…and soon threw up all over Logan's dress.

"Agh! EVAN!"

Confessional End

"Uncomfortable Siblings, you guys are- Jesus Mitsuki, what happened to your face!?" Duke jumped back, startled as the platter-holding Mitsuki showed off the makeup job that Olive had done for her earlier. Kotomi groaned, as Becky and Olive were the next two to join them in the chill zone, also holding an empty platter. "Oh…you two. Well, Mitsuki and Kotomi are seventh, BPQs, you're eighth." Lyle and Zeke shoved through them and made it onto the chill zone, proudly holding up their fossil. "Conservationists! Ninth!"

"Flora, please, we're already here…" Helena was the only one picking away at her team's fossil in the ice while Flora simply sighed again. Not far from them were the BFFFLs, who were chipping away at the ice, just like them. Then, there was Sophie, who was quite far in the spooky depths of the ice cave.

"G-grandma? Helloooooo? Where are you?" Sophie felt more and more uneasy the further she got into the cave, completely being unable to see anything. "Grandma?" She could suddenly feel and hear something creeping up behind her. She felt frozen in place, unable to say or do anything. All she could do was glance over her shoulder to see pair of eyes staring at her with a floating ice fossil beneath them. "AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" She immediately went rushing out of the cave, though this mystery figure followed after her.

"Sophie, wait! I found us a fossil! Oh, my hips are gonna hate me for this…" Bea revealed herself to be the pair of eyes with the fossil when she stepped out of the light, and she took a deep breath before chasing after her granddaughter as fast as she could. Back at the chill zone, Duke was greeting more teams with their platters and fossils.

"'Father and Son?' You guys scored tenth! Bachelorette babes, eleventh!" Ursula and Lady Belle went off to join James and Elliott, completely ignoring Richard, who fell to the ground in his frozen shame. "Glow-Up Gals, twelfth! Reality Show Rivals, thirteenth! YouTuber and Editor, fourteenth! Psychic and Skeptic, fifteenth! Basketball Team, sixteenth! Aaaaaaand…" Duke watched as the screaming Sophie ran over the chill zone, followed by Bea with her fossil. "...Wilderness Girls, seventeenth! Two teams left, who's gonna make it!?"

Lukas ran back to the chill zone to see the commotion, looking frantically worried when Sadie and Katie weren't there yet. A glance back towards the ice caves showed him that Helena and Flora were walking out, the former holding their team's fossil and shoving her partner at the same time. While Lukas dismayed, Sunny had a small grin perk up on her face. Even though they were slow, the Mystical Opposites were getting closer and closer to the chill zone…

"...EEEEEEEE, we got our fossil, Sadie! Let's go!" Sunny immediately frowned the most overexaggerated frown she could muster when she heard Katie calling from the ice caves. She watched as the duo ran out, working together to carry the fossil delicately. In no time, they managed to pass by Flora and Helena, reaching the chill zone and holding the fossil out to Duke. "H-here! We made it, right?"

"...Yep! BFFFLs, you guys got eighteenth! Which means…" Helena finally managed to reach the chill zone, utterly exhausted after having done all of the work for her team in the whole leg of the race. "Mystical Opposites, you're all cute together and whatever, but you're donezo. See ya."

"Well…I think things definitely could've gone a little bit better for us." Helena spoke over the view of her with Flora back in Morocco, when Flora was pretending to be a dragon with the spicy stew. "We didn't make it very far and…well…Logan shouting at Flora really messed her up something fierce."

"I just wanted to be her friend…" Flora sniffled lightly as the clip of the duo at the train tracks in Paris was shown, with Jacque helping Flora get out of danger's way. "She yelled at me and…I…"

"Flora, please…don't get too worked up over it. Some people are just like that, even if you're being kind and sweet to them." The next clip was shown, one that showcased Flora being pushed around by Helena back at the geyser field. "Hey, Flora? …You know I love you no matter what, right? I'm gonna be a hundred percent honest to you about how the world works from now on…and I'm sorry I wasn't doing that already."

"Yeah…" Flora and Helena were then seen walking away from the ice caves together. Flora rested her head gently on Helena's shoulder, wrapping her arms around her waist in a hug. "...I love you, too."
