"Incoming people's elbow!" Duke shouted loudly before crashing down on some unsuspecting Brazilian citizen with a powerful elbow that put them right out of commission. He got up from the ground and dusted himself off while flashing a grin to the camera. "Last time on the Ridukeulous Race: contestants found out we were gonna be going to Brazil, but it was Kotomi that actually got sent to Brazil. You know…like…the internet…ah, whatever. Kid was absolutely slammed to the pavement by the Conservationists' taxi, which forced us to send him to the hospital and replace him with traveling hottie: Honey so that Mitsuki could continue the race. Man, she was not happy!" As he rambled on about the happenings from the prior episode, Kotomi was seen getting hit by the car followed by Mitsuki meeting Honey and hating every second of it. This was soon replaced by some clips of the groups digging around in the oven mitt filled with ants. "We kicked off the challenge with a botch or watch, where the botcher had to dig for a tip in a hive of bullet ants! Most of our botchers did it with no issues, but Xavier ran for his life! Marty followed after the guy, and I was sure they would get eaten by a jaguar or something." Xavier and Marty were shown running through the rain forest, far away from the site of the botch or watch.

"Anyways, after we lost those two, we got teams crossing a gorge via swinging vine to dig through a pile of coconuts to find their next tip! This led to them having to put together a costume fit for Carnival, which could only be approved by a local Brazilian hottie!" The Brazilian local was shown disapproving of Logan's work and subsequently approving of Honey's. This soon transitioned to the beach, where Marty and Xavier were stuck on penalty. "It turned out, our Friendly Duo managed to skip the whole challenge and find the chill zone, but that landed them a gnarly two hour penalty! They thought everything was dim and bleak as one team finished the race after another and…it was! They didn't recover from that penalty! Luckily, though, I did spare them a bit, and Cheese, the lovable mouse, was sent home in their place!" Duke ripped through the green screen with the previous clips, showing that he had a tourist currently locked in a stranglehold. "We're about to set off from Brazil, but where do we go from here? You can find out now on…THE RIDUKEULOUS RACE!"

Cue Intro

"As you jabronis know, the chill zone last time was right here on Copacabana Beach! Starting us off will be none other than the newest team in the race and the winners of the last leg: the Hottie and Nottie!" Duke walked up to the chill zone while gesturing to Mitsuki and Honey. Honey was scooping up some of the sand from the beach and storing it in a little jar while Mitsuki stared at her with a twitching eye.

Confessional

"She…doesn't…sleep!" Mitsuki grabbed at the bags under her eyes and tugged them down to show just how bad they had gotten from how they originally were. "I thought I had issues with my bad sleep schedule, but this bimbo just does whatever she wants at the buttcrack of dawn! I swear, I wanna take that little shovel and shove it straight into her no no square! …But not in a sexual way!" She grumbled and glanced behind her to see that Honey was now running towards her with something in her hands.

"Mitsuki, look! I found a crab!" Honey opened her hands to show the small crab in her grasp, which crawled towards Mitsuki and pinched its claw down on her nose. "Oh! Bad crab, bad!"

Confessional End

"S-stupid crab…" Mitsuki lightly rubbed her now red and swollen nose before pressing the button on the first dukebox and reading the tip it provided. A faint smile grew on her face as she read the words, "...W-we're going to Dracula's castle in Transylvania…" The normally quiet girl went back to thinking to herself, blushing the whole time. "I've always wanted a hot vampire babe to swoop me up and make me his for all of eternity! We'll see who's the total babe when I get turned into a vampire princess, Honey!"


"That's right! I vant to suck your blood, mwahahaha!" Duke popped up in front of a picture of the castle with a pair of vampire teeth in his mouth. He flexed his jaw down on them hard to crush them to dust in one motion, smiling after. "This place has got at all, at least if you're an edgy teen that wants to get away from mommy and daddy! They've got mountains, they've got misty woods, they've probably got someone with a stake rammed up his butt somewhere, truly everything you could ever need and more!" He kicked the picture behind him out of the way, showing that he was actually standing in front of the castle already. "Teams will come here to this castle to receive their next tip!"


"We've got this shuttle bus right here that'll take you guys to the airport! All of you will be sharing the same bus, so I hope you didn't expect to be getting any alone time. Oh, woe is you, how will love blossom, now?" Duke let out some fake hollering cries while Mitsuki and Honey awkwardly snuck away from him to get onto the bus. The team's veteran made her way to the back of the bus, scooting close to a window to watch the boy's from the other teams walking towards the bus.

"A-ah…if only they would notice me…" Mitsuki lightly sighed and continued to stare until Honey suddenly wrapped her arm around her and pulled her close to her. "Nyeh! W-what are you doing?"

"Oh, I get really shaky on bus rides! Mom was always the one that made sure I didn't shake, but since she's not here and you are, you get to do that!" Honey smiled innocently while Mitsuki deadpanned at the camera. Outside of the bus and with all the other losing teams, Marty suddenly perked up and felt as if something was off.

"T-that's my gimmick…" The frequent deadpanner deadpanned as well, but too much less effect, which made him sigh and shrink back down. Back on the bus, teams were getting settled in their seats. Logan seemed to have a pretty bad headache as she had been rubbing her head with her hand, while Evan was hiding a small smirk from her. Olive was still wearing the headdress and tailpiece from the previous leg, which annoyed Becky, as the feathers kept poking her in the eye. Karma was busy applying her makeup for the day, making sure to do her cheeks up with little vampire bats to fit the theme, with Vanessa swapping out her typical dress for a black one with plenty of orange candy corn designs on it. Phoebe twitched nervously as Jamie Lynn forced her to take the window seat.

Confessional

"I-I don't do so well when I'm put at the window seats in any vehicle, really…seeing everything passing by makes me feel really nauseous and I…I…urgh…" Phoebe's stomach gurgled, her face turning green while she raised her hand to cover her mouth. Jamie Lynn glared at her deeply.

"I swear, if you even think about vomiting on me, I'm going to ship you back home in a box." Jamie Lynn's threat did the trick, as Phoebe swallowed her barf back down, hacking up a lung after. "Gross. Anyways, I don't do window seats. I don't like them, simple as that. Good thing I got a pushover that'll listen to whatever I tell her to do."

Confessional End

"I'm still not feeling right about the accident last episode, Lyle. It's like the same as hurting an animal! I mean, Kotomi was a little gremlin, so that makes him an animal, right?" Zeke worriedly looked over at Lyle, who was currently scratching his chin in thought. "Oh, are you philosophizing?"

"Not quite, you just got me thinking about something…what if Kotomi was made in a lab?" Zeke blankly stared at Lyle, giving him all the answers he needed for that, "Yup, your silence says it all. That was a silly idea."

"The two of ya really are a treat to sit behind, y'know that?" Jacque snickered while Angel sighed next to him. "I mean, talking about children made in labs? It's like I went and walked over to Crazy Ken's front yard! Dude was always on some nonsense, saying aliens were gonna abduct him or something. Come to think of it, I haven't seen much of him lately."

"Yes, I'm sure the bumpkin got taken by the aliens he was fearing, that must be the only explanation. Not that he tripped up over one of the many booby traps in that nightmare of a home that you're always rambling about." Angel was clearly uninterested in Jacque's rambling, getting a scoff back from him. "Get some new material, love…maybe then I'll want to tune into your nonsense."

"Alright, tea drinker," Jacque rolled his eyes again and looked back out the window while Angel flicked him in the back of the head. "I could complain about that, but I ain't givin' you the satisfaction."

"Please, nothing you do ever satisfies me," Angel turned away from Jacque to see that Zeke was staring at her from over the top of his seat. "Steve Irwin, you've got your brother there to stare at, why don't you get back to it?"

"My brother?" Zeke glanced at Lyle, who glanced at him in suit. The two burst out into a laughing fit that was…maybe a bit more aggressive than it needed to be. It ended up just creeping Angel out, and she tapped Jacque on the shoulder so he could see the craziness that was transpiring.

Confessional

"Lyle and I aren't brothers, but people are always mistaking us for 'em!" Zeke wiped a single tear from his eye while Lyle was still laughing like a hyena. "The two of us are only children, so it always ends up being funny when someone comes to that conclusion." Lyle was still laughing even after that, and Zeke glared before lightly punching him in the shoulder. "Alright, it wasn't that funny."

"Well, excuuuuuuuuuuuuuuse me for having a good laugh!" The two continued to glare at each other before turning away and crossing their arms. "As if we'd ever be brothers anyways! We don't even look the same!"

Confessional End

"Come on, Mitsuki-Chan! I'm sorry I was a baka, I'll never do…whatever it was I did ever again! Please, shine forgiveness down upon me!" Andrew pleaded with the idol on his phone, who pouted and looked away from him.

"Baka, baka! You don't even know what you did and you're apologizing! Baka, baka, baka!" Richard notably cringed as the "couple" argued, and he squeezed himself out of the seat to move over to where Sunny and Lukas were. He sat down without a word, confusing the duo.

"Uh…what are you doing over here, Rich Man?" Sunny looked up to Richard with confused eyes, squeezing tightly onto Lukas' arm.

"Getting away from that nonsense…I hate hearing couples argue with each other, it's just annoying." Richard sighed and looked over at Sunny and Lukas. When he saw how she was holding onto her teammate's arm, he glared at Lukas. "You some sort of pedo or something? That's nasty, man." With both Sunny and Lukas now shocked, Richard got up and went around in search of another seat.

"W-what a rude thing to call you! Don't worry, Lukas, he just doesn't understand our love!" Sunny smiled over at Lukas, who winced and yanked his arm away from her. "W-what? But I was…I was…" The little girl lightly sniffled and started to sob, "Wahhhhh!" Lukas glared and shook his head at her, "But I just wanna-" again, he shook his head, turning away from her and leaving her to keep crying.

Confessional

"S-stupid Rich Man coming in and saying those hurtful things about my Lukas…now he's all mad at me and…and…w…wahhhhhh!" Sunny went back to sobbing loudly. She then took a sudden break from her tears to see if Lukas was watching her, only to see that he still wasn't looking at her, as he seemed to be more peeved than anything. "Wahhhhh, Lukas, payyyyy atteeeeentioooon toooooo meeeeee!"

Confessional End

Freddy nervously trembled in his seat next to Colin, who was trying to play a game on his phone. He was doing his best to focus on throwing birds at pigs, but the intense trembling of his partner made it a bit difficult for him. He glanced over at him and tucked his phone away.

"Hey, Fredbear, something bugging you?" Freddy didn't really take any notice of Colin at first, until the latter suddenly tapped him on the arm, causing him to suddenly scream and shine a flashlight right in his face. "Agh! My already horribly damaged retinas!"

"O-oh! Sorry, Colin! I was just thinking about where we're going…Transylvania. I've had so many pretty vivid nightmares about the place…I mean, those gargoyles, the suits of armor, those have got to be animatronics in disguise, right? There's no way they're just part of the architecture or decorations, no way, no how!" Freddy rambled and continued to tremble, ignoring the fact that Colin was still screaming from the sudden light beaming in his eyes. Across the aisle, someone could be heard chuckling, which attracted Freddy's attention. "Hm?"

"You're quite numb in the brain, aren't you? Suits of armor and gargoyles being animatronics? Please…I've seen better setups for horror in children's books!" Arnold mocked Freddy, who immediately started to feel a bit pathetic about himself, though the now recovered Colin gently patted him on the back to calm him down. "I tell you, thinking things like that is only going to distract you from the race. Wouldn't be surprised if we end up saying 'toodaloo' to you guys…since that's all you seem to think about anyways." Arnold looked at Freddy to see that he was staring back at him strangely, "...What are you giving me that dull look for?"

"...Can you put a purple shirt on? You look…vaguely familiar…" Arnold just looked confused at Freddy's request, but Aisling suddenly pushed her partner behind her and got in the way.

"No! N-no…he can't do that. Apologies." The three boys were confused by her sudden intrusion to the conversation, but the gamers dropped it and returned to their devices. She sighed and looked over at Arnold, who had that "demanding an explanation" look on his face. "S-sorry for pushing you…but the crystal ball told me not to let you do that. If you put a purple shirt on, we would've lost this leg…"

"...You can't be serious. The color of the shirt I wear has no bearing on our chances to survive the leg." Arnold scoffed at his partner, "You ought to just toss that crystal ball out the bus window…it's clearly messing with your mashed potato brains."

"O…oh…I think I'd rather not." Aisling mumbled to herself, leading Arnold to suddenly reach towards her to grab the ball from her. Frantically, she tucked it back into her bra, leaving him to curse under his breath.

Confessional

"Putting this mystical item between my chest can be a pain, but it's one of the few places that Arnold won't reach to get it. I have to protect it at all costs…it's already helping us so much…" Aisling sighed while Arnold crossed his arms and stared at her. "What?"

"Using your breasts as a hiding place is such a cowardly tactic!" The rich boy huffed and Aisling just blinked back at him.

"You know, you could just grab it whenever you wanted. I predict I only have a ninety-five percent chance of slapping you in the face for it." The psychic smiled playfully, but Arnold wasn't having it, as he turned away from her.


"I'd heard some rumors that there was going to be a FNAF game set in place at Dracula's castle…with vampire animatronics! The very thought of it makes the bite of eighty-seven seem so much worse…imagine if they had those shard fangs!" Freddy shuddered at the thought, his eyes wide as could be. "Colin, you aren't going to let the animatronics crush my head with their jaws, are you?"

"On my honor, I would never allow that to happen. I'd be missing out on one of the best things in life if you weren't here with me." Colin blushed and wrapped his arm around Freddy's shoulders.

"Yeah, I guess our friendship is pretty awesome, isn't it?" Freddy smiled lightly, and Colin's heart cracked in two. "Colin? You good?"

"Oh yeah…j-just perfect…buddy…"

Confessional End

The teams finally managed to get to the airport, which got them all stuck in a big waiting line before the man that was working the desk. Near the way back of the line were James and Elliott, who had Lady Belle and Ursula fawning over them, per usual. James looked down at his watch, clearly getting a bit annoyed with how far back in the line they were. He reached into his pocket and grabbed his flip phone, dialing a number and bringing it to his ear.

"Hello? Yeah, the line's way too long…I need to be on the first flight if I want to have any advantage in this leg!" The rich "father" nodded as he spoke to whoever was on the other line. "You will? Wonderful! The women? No no, that's quite alright. Just us. Yeah, thank you." He hung up the phone and tucked it back into his pocket, turning to Elliott. "Good news, sport! We don't have to wait in this line anymore! Let's go board the first flight already!"

"Oh, sweet. Come on, Lady, let's get to our seats." Elliott smirked and reached back to grab Lady Belle's hand, though James stood between the two of them. "Erm, what's your problem, 'dad?'"

"I never said that those two got upgraded, just me and you. Can't be wasting all of our father-son bonding time with two distracting women grabbing up on our belts, can we?" James grabbed Elliott by the arm and briefly glanced back at the Bachelorettes with a prideful smirk. "You two can enjoy your flight…it's going to be quite the special one."

Confessional

"See, the good thing about being a successful businessman is that I've got plenty of connections…connections that I'm more than welcome to use to get myself ahead of the curve in a race like this…and away from those women!" James laughed while Elliott pouted near him, causing him to roll his eyes. "Come on, sport, they're just women. I could give enough money to impress any girl when we're not in the middle of a million dollar competition."

"You don't get it, you old geezer. You don't care about true love!" Elliott huffed and turned to face his "father" with a glare. "This is why mom left you! All you care about is money and business and what not!"

"That's not…what!?" James just looked confused while Elliott turned away from him again.

Confessional End

"Stuck with tickets to flight number two, how peachy." Ursula sighed and approached the desk, "Yes, we'll take the last two tickets for flight number two. Ursula and Lady Belle are the names."

"Hm…it says here that you two already have tickets for a flight to Transylvania. It's boarding now, you should probably hurry up and get on it." With a bit of shock, Ursula and Lady Belle got running towards the departing flights.

Confessional

"It seems that our luck is actually working out pretty well for us! Guess James must've had a change of heart when his son talked to him, huh?" Ursula giggled while Lady Belle nodded next to her.

"That's my Elliott, after all…always looking out for us dainty women and using his big, strong, working boy muscles to solve all the bad issues that go his way." Lady Belle cooed as she pulled out a picture of Elliott in his swim trunks, admiring his muscles. "Such a lovely working boy…"

"Uh…yeah, whatever." Ursula rolled her eyes and looked back at the camera with a smile, "I wonder what flight we'll be on…it didn't say it was the same as the other teams who had tickets for flight one, but the gate wasn't the one for flight two, either."

Confessional

"Ahem," a groggy voice came over the speakers of a small, stuffy cargo plane that was full of old crates. "Flight for Transylvania now taking off…we'll be landing a bit later than the other two flights. That is, if this rustbucket lasts long enough for us to actually make it there! Har har har!" Lady Belle glared at Ursula, who was now rethinking James' change of heart.

Confessional

"I suppose I was wrong about him…" Ursula refused to look next to her at Lady Belle, who looked just about ready to throttle her.

Confessional End

"With the 'Father and Son?,' the Hottie and Nottie, the Basketball Team, the Dweebs, the Bloody Prom Queens, the Awkward Neighbors, the Psychic and Skeptic, and the Reality Show Rivals taking off directly to Transylvania on flight one and the Bachelorettes getting sidelined on a secret third flight, flight two won't be departing for another forty-five minutes!" Duke chanted as the first flight was taking off, while the second flight was just starting to board. "This puts the Glow-Up Gals, the Friendly Duo, the YouTuber and Editor, the BFFFLs, the Sailor America Fans, the Wilderness Girls, the Vicious Pop Stars, the Conservationists, and the Dynamic Gamers at a disadvantage that they may not be able to overcome."

Confessional

"It feels nice to finally be back in the first flight, been a while since we last were." Conroy nodded at the camera as he and Mika lounged in their seats.

"He's right! After our close finish in the Mediterranean, we'd been stuck in the bottom half!" Mika was smiling, but it was pretty clear that she wasn't happy about that. "But it doesn't matter anymore! I was being really sporadic when we got off of the bus, so I made sure we scrambled to the front of the line!"

Confessional End

"The second flight is just now taking off, and our first flight has touched down in Transylvania!" As Duke watched the first flight touch down at the airport, he grinned, incredibly eager for something. The teams made their way through the airport to run outside, where they were met by the host, who pointed directly at James and Elliott. "'Father and Son?,' you guys are on penalty!"

"What!? That's preposterous! On what grounds?" James crossed his arms as Duke slammed a penalty clock with an indefinite amount of time on the screen down next to them.

"You called around and pulled strings to avoid waiting in line for your ticket. Not to mention that you also made sure that the Bachelorettes would be placed on some third flight that we had no knowledge of! Therefore, you jabronis are going to be on penalty until our lovely ladies arrive in Transylvania! Too bad for you!" Duke laughed and stepped away from the first teams, allowing them all too look ahead to see a dark, scary castle looming in the distance. A thunderbolt crackled, followed by a lightning strike, which ushered in a heavy rainstorm. The rain poured down on all of the teams, with several of them being quite frightened…though Becky seemed to be actually smiling.

Confessional

"I've always wanted to have a tour in Romania…specifically in Transylvania. The place is just so…metal. Everything about it is just beautiful." Becky sighed gently as she stared off at the castle, with Olive cowering in fear behind her. "Oh, don't be such a baby."

"I-I'm sorry, Becks, but it just seems so spooky and dangerous…" Olive gulped and tried to get up, but more thunder sounded off, causing her to cower even worse. Becky groaned at her.


"Man, seems like there's always gotta be somethin' real edgy thrown into the mix with these types of shows. You know who'd be loving this? That Damien kid, remember him?" Jacque started to chuckle, and so did Angel, who actually looked back at him this time.

"Oh, you'd better believe I do. The edgiest man I have ever seen in my entire life!" Angel fell to giggling as she continued to think about the boy, "He was a contestant on Big Sister with us, and dear, was he something! If you gave the boy a bucket of black paint, he'd say something about wanting to drown the Earth in it."

"Ya got that right! Hell, he kinda reminds me of those metal girls! Well, at least the one with the pigtails." Jacque continued to snicker, though Angel suddenly looked horrified. "Huh? Wassup with you?"

"B-behind you…" Angel slowly lifted her hand to pint, and Jacque turned to see Becky staring at him.

"Ah, dammit!"

Confessional End

The first seven teams started running through the rain as fast as they could, leaving behind James and Elliott, both of which were still steamed about their penalty. As the Psychic and Skeptic rna, Arnold held an umbrella over Aisling's head, much to her confusion. She looked at him to see what was the deal, as he was currently getting the bulk of the downpour on him.

"Hm? Oh, don't look at me like that, I'm not doing this for your sake." Arnold did his typical scoff, only making Aisling even more confused about the umbrella. "If I were to just let the rain pour on you, the already sheer gown that you're wearing would certainly become a bit too revealing. Can't have that happening in the middle of the race. Not to mention that you might get hypothermia, and I don't want to deal with a useless wet sack as my teammate!"

"Right…" Aisling softly smiled and fumbled around with the cards in her pocket, though she didn't pull them out or offer to give him a tarot reading, as she usually did. The two were almost immediately shoved aside by Mitsuki in a frantic rage, who seemed to have some similar worries.

"Move, move, move! The rain is making her nipples show through her shirt, get out of my way!" Honey hardly had any time to protest as Mitsuki dragged her towards the castle as fast as she could. Richard tried to get a glimpse in passing, but he got nothing, as he soon found Phoebe and Jamie Lynn running alongside him.

"Oh, what an unexpected surprise. You really just keep coming back for more, don't you?" Richard teased Phoebe, who blushed at him before Jamie Lynn pulled her to her other side and stood in between them. Richard's smirk immediately sunk to an annoyed frown. "Oh, wonderful…the only chick with double d's that can somehow manage to be unhealthy to stare at."

"I believe I told you to stop distracting her before, did I not? You'd better be a better listener, or I'm gonna sock you one good in the face." Jamie Lynn held her fist up to threaten Richard, though he didn't seem to care the slightest about the threat. "I mean it! And I punch pretty hard! You've been warned!"

"Alright, pixie dust, I'll keep that in mind when I feel your pillow hands bouncing off of my cheek." Richard stuck his tongue out at the girl, who glared at him until he and Andrew ran a bit faster to pass them. Jamie Lynn then looked at Phoebe to see her giggling a little bit.

"What are you laughing at, huh?" The intensity of Jamie Lynn's glaring eyes got Phoebe to stop laughing quickly, and she just turned her attention to the ground while they ran.

Confessional

"Jamie Lynn is such a nutcase, seriously." Richard groaned and threw a dart at a tree, though it bounced off and pierced him in the left glute. "Ack! Ladies, you gotta warn me before you reach for the glutes!" He yelped as he pulled the dart out of his butt, slumping forward onto the ground while Andrew stared at him.

"How simple-minded of you, Richard. Watch as I masterfully top your measly performance!" Andrew grabbed a handful of darts, throwing them all at the tree, though they did the same, bouncing off and landing right in his rear end. "Urk…y-you fool…you missed all my vital organs with that attack. Y-you could never…damage me…with such a…useless attack…" Like his partner before him, Andrew slumped forward and crashed against the ground.

"Baaaaaaaka!" Mitsuki-Chan could be heard from Andrew's back pocket.

Confessional End

"L-Lukas, stop ignoring me…" Sunny sniffled and tried to get Lukas' attention, though he was still firmly ignoring her, as he had been previously. This led the girl to get up from her seat, start wailing, and run towards the back of the plane. "I-if you keep ignoring me I'm just gonna jump out of the emergency exit, wahhhh!"

"Oh, no you don't!" Sadie jumped into the aisle to block Sunny from running back to the exit, causing her to bump into her and fall down. "Oh my gosh, are you okay?"

"...Youuuuu…you!" Sunny shot up from the ground, trying her best to hide her tears and look as angry as she could. "Y-you're part of the reason that my Lukas is so mad at me right now! Because of you, I had to start making my advances sooner, and he didn't like that!"

"W-what? But I don't…I'm not into Lukas…" Sadie looked puzzled as Sunny continued to glare at her. She shook her head at the child and knelt down, "So, like…there's a big difference between being thankful for someone helping you out and having a crush on them. I was a little flustered when he grabbed me and helped me out, but I don't like him like that!"

"Lies! Lies, lies, lies! You want a piece of my sexy European boy, and now you're trying to distract me from your advances so it'll be easier for you!" Sunny snarled and started to slap her hands at Sadie. Admittedly, the slaps didn't feel like much of anything, but Katie still jumped in and grabbed the girl so she couldn't keep hitting her friend. "Hiss! Let me go, let me go! Help! I'm being touched inappropriately!"

"Would you, like, shut up about all of that?" Katie glared at the back of Sunny's head as she dragged her back to her seat. "If you're gonna be all nasty to Sadie when she's just trying to be nice to you, you can just sit here and enjoy your babysitter being angry at you. If you can't tell, we're both over it." Lukas looked up at Katie as she dropped Sunny off in her seat. He nodded to her and glared back at the child again. "This is why I totally don't want children…too much to handle."

"Y-you're too much to handle, you barbie doll!" Sunny continued to protest while Lukas buckled her up in her seat. Katie walked back to Sadie, who just sighed and got back in her seat.

Confessional

"At this point, I'm officially done with all the Sunny business." Katie glared, but soon started to giggle, "It kinda sounds like funny business! Haha…ah! Anyways, yeah, totally over it! How can she be so…annoying when the other kids are all way more mature? Well…maybe not more mature…"

"I think the only one that's arguably more mature is Becky…Sophie is always hiding things from her grandma, Olive is up in the clouds…" Sadie thought for a moment before sighing and slouching forward. "I think I have to agree with Katie, though…Sunny and her antics are getting too annoying to deal with."

"Like, you agree with me? This is why we're besties! Eeeee!" Katie squealed and the two wrapped their arms around each other, soon starting to jump up and down in place.

Confessional End

"Almost to the top of the hill…almost…huff…why…are you…so heavy?" Mitsuki grunted as she dragged Honey behind her, doing her best to make it to the top of the hill in front of the castle, where she could see the next dukebox. Eventually, she got it done, but she immediately fell to the ground, panting and gasping for air as Honey stood in front of the box. She tilted her head at it and shrugged before pressing the button on the top of it.

"Mm…" The newbie grabbed the tip and started to read it, "Oh…it's an all-in! And a super spooky one, at that!"

"That's right, Honey!" Duke popped up inside of the castle, leaning back against an open coffin. "For this all-in, the teams will have to journey into the dark and spooky castle insearch of an open coffin! Once they find one, whoever didn't grab the tip will have to jump in and get shut into said coffin, which the other teammate will have to carry all the way down to…" The camera suddenly transitioned to show Duke in a graveyard, where there were plenty of open graves just waiting to be filled.

"This graveyard! Once they get here, they'll dump their coffins into the graves to get their next tips! Let's just hope none of our coffin carriers are dumb enough to actually bury their teammate alive!" Duke laughed uproariously and the camera transitioned back over to the dukebox, where many of the first seven teams were finally getting their tips.

"Once you complete the challenge, you'll get your tip from a local grave digger," Angel read the tip closely, her eyes narrowing as she got further down in it. "The teammate that's in the coffin may not get out or help at all during the challenge until it's over…oh dear."

"Hey, no sweat." Jacque started to do some stretches next to Angel, "I'll just get myself all light and limber so it isn't that hard for ya." Angel gently smiled at her teammate. Meanwhile, Richard was standing nearby…his eyes wide in horror as he finished reading the tip. He slowly looked up at Andrew, who was staring back at him confusedly.

Confessional

"S-so…there are just some slight issues with this challenge…" Richard gulped and looked back at Andrew, who was frantically trying to open his app on his phone. "Okay, maybe a little more than slight…I mean, it's fine, right? He only weighs…uh…"

"Three hundred eighty nine pounds," Andrew snarkily answered Richard's wonders, and then immediately went back to his phone.

"R-right…"

Confessional End

"Come on, Olive, the castle really isn't that scary. You're being a big baby…again." Becky's eyebrow twitched as she watched Olive cower in fear at the top of the hill. Mika and Conroy were the last team to make it to the top, the former being the one to grab the tip from the dukebox before taking notice of the dilemma between the Bloody Prom Queens.

"Hm? Why's she all sad like that? What's wrong, little green bean?" Mika scurried right over to Olive, getting in her face and smiling a big smile at her. Olive slightly smiled back at her, but was still a bit too scared to answer.

"She's the one who grabbed the tip, and she's scared about carrying me through the castle alone. She can be helpless, sometimes." Becky sighed, which made Olive feel even more upset about the whole situation.

"Oh…well, I've got just the idea for that!" Mika grabbed Olive's hand in hers, pulling her up from the ground and dancing in a circle with her. "We'll just work together in there! I know, I'm not the same as your sister, but I'll make sure to keep you company so you won't get lonely!"

"Like…we get to be friends? Castle-exploring friends?" Olive tilted her head to the side while Mika nodded back at her. The drummer's expression lightened up and she nodded excitedly, "That'll be a whole bunch of fun! It would be even nicer if Becks didn't have to be stuck in a coffin, but it's okay! Yay! I love making new friends!"

"This is an interesting change of pace…" Conroy tapped his chin in thought before looking down at Becky, who was standing alongside him. "I guess it could be considered somewhat like an alliance, no?"

"Don't look too much into it, weakblood. I would've never let this sort of agreement come to fruition if I had any say in it. My sister just doesn't use her brain at times…it's the same reason she could never be the headliner in our band." Becky's insult was quiet, but Olive still seemed to hear it, as she noticeably winced. "Let's just get this over with…"

Confessional
"...Huh…" Olive kicked her feet as she sat by herself on a log, "Becks never said nothing about me like that before…I didn't know she felt that way about me." It seemed that the drummer was at a loss for words, but she tried her best to smile through it. "I'm sure she didn't mean nothin' by it! Becks loves me, so there's no way she would say anything like that on purpose! She probably just got flustered by the other two people around us, yup!"

Confessional End

"With the first seven teams heading into the castle and the 'Father and Son?' still waiting for the Bachelorettes to arrive, our second flight is just now landing with the other nine teams!" As Duke announced, teams from the second flight started to run out of the airport, passing by James and Elliott with ease. Colin and Freddy got a decent lead on the others at first, but Freddy skidded to a halt when he took notice of the castle that was lying ahead atop the hill.

"Uh oh…uh oh…" Freddy gulped nervously and the camera panned into his brain to show him chained to a chair at a Victorian-styled dining table, with several vampiric animatronics enjoying a feast of the other contestants. "S-stop eating everybody, animatronics! You can't do that! Why would you just blindly follow orders from Vampire Afton!? Haven't you seen how many times that guy has died and come back? Clearly he can't be trusted!"

"Mwahahaha!" As if on cue, Vampire Afton swooped into the room, standing right on the table in front of Freddy. "You'll join your friends soon as I take my revenge! Mwahahaha!"

"Noooooooooooooooooooo!" Freddy hollered in fear in his mind until he felt Colin's hand on his shoulder, bringing him back to the real world. "W-what the? Oh…it's you, Colin. Sorry, reading too much into the lore again."

"Don't worry, Freddy…there aren't gonna be any animatronics in there. Let's just keep going, mmkay?" Freddy gulped and nodded, the two soon running ahead.

Confessional

"Actually being here in Transylvania is really getting me in a panic! I knew it was gonna be bad, I just didn't think it was going to be this bad! Not to worry, though! As long as I have my good buddy by my side, it'll all be fine!" Colin sighed as he heard Freddy call him buddy again, but his sigh ceased when thunder crackled and Freddy suddenly squeezed him in an embrace. "S-sorry…just a little on edge."

"...Y-you're good, Fredbear." Colin blushed as he stared directly at the camera.

Confessional End

"Virgilio, that castle looks just like something you would love! Aye, you should stand in front of it and let me take pictures of you!" Michael clapped his hands excitedly as they ran, but Virgil just sighed and picked up his pace to avoid his partner. "Eh…? But…that's something that you sort of might have liked to do before! What's the matter with you?"

"Can you just shut up and leave me to my thoughts, please and thank you? Your voice is giving me a headache…" Virgil's tone wasn't even as harsh as it typically was, and he kept running faster and faster to avoid his partner nagging him.

"This is just…so strange." Michael kept staring at Virgil as he ran away, eventually getting bumped into by Bea, who was running up the hill with Sophie riding on her shoulders. "Woah! Almost fell down there…hey, that's a pretty smart idea you've got there!"

"Huh? Riding my grandma's shoulders? Well, I'll take over when I get to the top of the hill! It's like, a team has got to be fifty-fifty in everything!" Sophie nodded at Michael while Bea grunted, struggling to keep herself going.

"That's a good point…maybe I should be more like that for Virgilio? I know I have been slacking at times, perhaps that's why he's avoiding me?" Sophie shrugged at Michael's query, "Aye, I could try it out! You're pretty smart for such a tiny thing, you know that?"

"Well, I don't have the Massive Big Brain Move patch for nothing!" Sophie beamed and showed off the patch on her sash to Michael, who stared at it intently. "I know, it's pretty neat! I got this one for using a paper airplane to tell a chef that my dish was made wrong rather than suffering the pain of having to ask for a replacement in person! Biggest brain move I've ever made, heheh!"

"I sincerely don't recall that happening, but you've never lied to me before so…I must just be forgetting things." Bea looked a bit confused, but kept running. When Michael looked back up at Sophie, he could see that something was off about her. It was almost like she seemed really guilty, but she didn't say anything, nor did he.

Confessional

"That little girl's acting funny now, too! Maybe it's just the Transylvanian air? Bah, I dunno!" Michael shrugged it off and suddenly looked a lot more confident. "I'm still gonna go ahead and take more charge in things, so I'll definitely be reaching the top of the hill before Virgil does! Then he'll be less upset with me, I'm sure!"

Confessional End

"Geez, this place is totally sketchy…I feel like it could crumble apart at any minute." Jamie Lynn yawned as she walked the halls of the castle, looking for the coffins that the dukebox had mentioned before. "It's a real shame that you had to be the one to grab the tip, but can't do anything about that now. You'd better actually try to get the coffin to the grave or I'm gonna be so miffed."

"I-I'll do my best, don't worry…" Phoebe smiled slightly as she walked behind Jamie Lynn.

Confessional

"A whole section of the leg where I won't have to deal with Jamie Lynn at all? It sounds like heaven to me…oh, I'm such a bitch for saying that, but I can't help it!" Phoebe giggled before suddenly slapping her hat down on her head and turning herself into Libby, who was grinning. "You know, confidence and excitement are good colors on you! Too bad I wear 'em way better than you ever could!"

Confessional End

"Well, looks like we've got one," Jamie Lynn sighed and approached an open coffin, which she patted with one hand. She turned around to look at Phoebe, who was rather quick to hide her smile. "I swear, no funny business, got it? We found this pretty quickly, so we could probably get a good lead if you actually focus."

"O-oh, yes…I'll make sure to stay focused, don't worry." Phoebe nodded and Jamie Lynn annoyedly climbed into the coffin. She shut the door on herself, leaving the meek girl to go back to her smiling self. She walked over to the coffin and propped it up on the ground so that she could get a good grasp of it. Back outside, some of the teams from flight two were just making it to the top of the hill, with Vanessa getting the tip for her and Karma.

"Mhm…mhm…oh, I see," Vanessa smiled and crumpled up the tip before tossing it aside. "Gurl, looks like you're getting a pseudo-piggyback ride from your homegirl, uh huh!"

"Oh, how mahvelous! I do hope we manage to catch up with those basketballers once we get inside…that Conroy is still well due for his glow-up." Karma started to walk inside with Vanessa alongside her, the two soon taking notice of a loud thud behind them. They turned to see Logan laying flat in the mud, while Evan was standing behind her. "Oh dear, are you alright, dahling?" Vanessa ran over to try and help Logan up.

"Don't…touch…me…" Logan groaned and slapped Vanessa's hand away before slowly pulling herself back up to her feet. "Ugh…that Brazilian mineral water may have had too many minerals in it. My head is throbbing!"

"Mhm…maybe you should just take it easy for now? I'm sure you'll get used to it soon, and you'll be back to normal!" Evan smiled at his cousin, who rolled her eyes, though the eye rolling seemed to be enough to cause her head to ache again. "It's alright. I grabbed the tip, anyways, so you get to enjoy the coffin ride."

"Yeah…I guess…God, I hate it when you're right about things…" Logan groaned again, with Evan picking her up and carrying her into the castle. Vanessa and Karma looked between her, each seeming a bit nervous about whatever that was.

Confessional

"Nothing about that situation there seemed right, nuh uh, honey!" Vanessa bobbed her head from side to side while Karma nodded. "That scrappy ice cream cone ain't never been slugging around like this before, that's so unlike her! And, as much as I didn't like her before, I prefer knowing that she's alright as her usual yelling and complaining self!"

"I have to agree with you, dahling…it was something about the way she was moving. It wasn't anything like before, she was a lot more frantic before." Karma thought hard for a moment, "I feel like I know what's happened to her, but I'm not certain of it yet…"


"Oh, Logan…" Evan sighed as Logan napped next to him. He slowly smiled at the camera and held up a bottle of mineral water, popping the cap right off of it. He then reached into his back pocket and fetched a bottle of vodka, pouring just a small bit into the water. "First time drinkers always get migraines or stomach aches, but you do get used to it. Let's see how you like being the blabbering drunk for a change."

"Urgh…" Logan started to wake up from her nap, while Evan frantically hid the bottle of vodka away. "W-what were you saying…?"

"Nothing! Here, have some more water!" Evan smiled and passed his cousin the tampered bottle, to which she immediately started drinking. As she did, he continued to smile at the camera.

Confessional End

"With a lot of our teams alright well into the all-in, the Bachelorettes are just now arriving on their raggedy flight! It's a good thing that the plane didn't go down cause…yeesh!" The third flight landed, but the very second that Ursula and Lady Belle got off of it, it crumbled to the ground. The two ran to the front of the airport, where they saw James and Elliott, whose timer suddenly went off. "'Father and Son?,' your penalty is up and you can make your way to the castle!"

"Oh, you two dears waited here just for us? How romantic…I guess you do have a heart after all, James!" Ursula teased the "father," but he ignored her and started booking it towards the castle as fast as he could, leaving her agitated once more.

"Psh, don't worry about that old coot, he doesn't know nothing about nothing. Anyways…where were we? Oh yeah," Elliott grabbed Lady Belle's hand in his, leaning in to kiss it gently before pulling her along with him. "Don't worry, my lady! I'll get you to the castle quick as the wind!"

"Oh, how gentlemanly!" Lady Belle giggled and looked back at Ursula with a teasing smile, "I'll see you at the castle, Ursula!"

"Urgh…that gray-haired money grubber had better start falling in love with me soon before one of us does something that we might regret." Ursula groaned and started running, clutching her handbag tightly in her hands. Back in the castle, Richard and Andrew had finally managed to find a coffin, though with the weeaboo crammed into it, his perverse teammate was having more struggle than he had bargained for with moving it.

"Urk…Andrew…man…I'm never letting you eat another bag of cheese puffs in your entire life." Richard panted and knocked his fist against the coffin, which was clearly bulging at the seams. "Your heart is going to thank me for that!"

"Coooooooming through, choo choo!" Richard looked behind him to see Mika and Olive shoving their coffins towards him and blasting right past him, leaving him in their dust. Olive giggled obnoxiously as the two raced through the halls, "Gee, this really is a whole lot of fun, Mika! I'm so glad you're with me for this, I'd be peeing my pants otherwise!"

"Oh, don't mention it! Sometimes, I get nervous if I don't have my senior around for guidance, so I completely understand! Besides, you're just a little kid! It's normal to be creeped out by places like this!" Mika lightly ruffled Olive's mohawk and went back to pushing the coffin. "At this rate, we might get to the graveyard faster than all the other teams!"

"Heck, maybe Becks will be more open to one of those alliance thingies if that were the case!" Olive looked a bit embarrassed for a second. "Oh…sorry about her being all fussy, earlier. She's just really picky about the people she talks to and befriends and all that. She's a good person, I know that, but she just gets a certain way around strangers!"

"Don't sweat it! She's probably trying to protect you!" Olive smiled and nodded at Mika, and the two burst out of the castle to start heading towards the graveyard.

Confessional

"Olive and I are totally a power duo in this! We don't let anything creep us out or get in our way, not a chance!" Mika beamed and ruffled Olive's mohawk again, causing the girl to giggle in response. "It kinda makes me feel like my senior, having a little disciple following me around! Oh, I'm so glad I got to do this!"

"Me too! I'm sure I'll get an earful about it from Becky later, but we'll cross that bridge when we get there!" Olive glanced over at her team's coffin, which seemed to be on fire. "Yup, she's definitely pretty mad."

Confessional End

"L-Lukas, you can't be mad at me forever…I can wait until I turn eighteen, I promise! You just have to wait for me!" Sunny pleaded, but Lukas refused to answer her. The two had come across a coffin, and he was already climbing into it. Before she could further press the matter, he slammed the lid shut, causing her to tear up some more. "Lukas, I'm sorry! Ugh…stupid Rich Man saying that thing…I'm so gonna kick him in the nuggets later!"

"You're gonna kick who in the nuggets later?" Sunny shot up out of fright and turned around to see Sadie dragging a coffin with her nearby. She immediately glared at her as she saw her, "You're still upset? Like, I don't even remember being this moody when I was a kid."

"You shut your pie hole! I can't believe you just so happened to find me in this castle…I mean, seriously!" Sunny thrust her arms up and gestured to the massive hallway she was standing in. "The castle is huge, this is just a stupid chance encounter! What are you gonna do now? Try and steal my coffin with my man in it?" Sunny stuck her tongue out, but Lukas banged his fist against the inside of the coffin, causing her to shudder a bit. "I-I mean with Lukas in it? That's my ma-...my teammate! You can't take him!"

"Okay, well, like, good news is that I don't want to take him, so, yeah, you can keep him." Sunny huffed and puffed, clearly not convinced by Sadie's argument. The BFFFL sighed and scanned the room, her eyes eventually landing on Marty, who was closeby and dragging his coffin behind him. That was when an idea suddenly popped into Sadie's head. "That's…right! I don't wanna take him cause I already have a boyfriend!"

"Huh!? Psh, no way! That's the biggest lie I ever heard!" Sunny crossed her arms and glared at Sadie in disbelief.

"Oh, but it isn't a lie! He's right over there!" Sadie pointed at Marty, ushering Sunny to look at him. The girl paused, still having some trouble believing the whole thing. "Why would I wanna go after Lukas when I've already got my own man? And just look how rough and tough he is! Not having any issues with the coffin!" Sunny continued to stare at Marty from a distance. From where they were, it all looked well and fine, though he was definitely sweating up a storm where he was, struggling just as everyone else was. "See?"

"...If he's your boyfriend, go over there and kiss him. On the lips!" Sadie's eyes went wide as Sunny was now grinning right at her. "Oh, did you have a problem with that?"

"N-no! No problem whatsoever! I just…um…see, he's really busy focusing, and I'm trying to focus, so…" Sadie tried to reason with Sunny, but it became pretty clear that she was not believing her still. "...F-fine…but you have to watch Katie's coffin in the meantime!"

"Oh, don't worry. I'm not leaving this spot until I get my confirmation. Now, get to smoochin'!"

Confessional

"I've…never actually kissed anyone before. Well, me and Katie maybe practiced a long time ago, but I never kissed anybody other than that!" Sadie blushed and twiddled her thumbs, "N-not that I have trouble with relationships or anything, but I'm just a teensy weensy bit shy."

Confessional End

"Um…h-hey, Marty!" Sadie finally made it over to Marty, who glanced over at her, though he didn't stop dragging the coffin with Xavier in it. "I…kinda sorta need a pretty big favor from you."

"Huh…? But you've never even talked to me before, what could you possibly want from me?" Marty grunted as he spoke, still primarily focusing on the coffin that he was dragging.

"S-so…like…I kinda sorta told Sunny that you were kinda sorta my boyfriend so that she would stop screaming at Katie and I whenever we're nearby." Sadie was still twiddling her thumbs as Marty suddenly stopped what he was doing and looked at her in disbelief. "Wellll…she didn't really believe me, so…she said I have to go kiss you to prove it." Sadie's face was beet red, and she tried to hide her shame as best as she could while Marty looked past her to see Sunny staring at the two of them. "Y-you don't have to, it was a mistake to lie to her about it anyway. I'll jus-"

"I'll do it," Marty shrugged, something that shocked Sadie. Her jaw dropped a little bit as she looked back up at him, still blushing like crazy. "I think I can make it pretty convincing, too. Am I allowed to touch you?" Sadie lightly nodded and Marty smiled slightly, reaching one of his hands behind her back and the other to her cheek. He gently dipped her down and leaned into kiss her, leaving Sunny's jaw to literally fall to the floor. Sadie's eyes were wide, but as he kissed her, she slowly closed them, looking less and less surprised. He finally stopped and pulled her back up to her feet, clearing his throat after. "Good enough?"

"Y-yeah…" Sadie was still shocked, but Marty kept smiling at her.

"Welp, gonna go back to what I was doing before. The whole coffin thing's pretty annoying, am I right?" The boy chuckled and grabbed his coffin again, getting right back to moving it along while Sadie slowly turned and started walking back to Sunny.

"S-see…I told you…" The BFFFL tried her best to regain her composure, but she was truly a flustered mess at this point.

"I…guess you did. W-well! That…um…that means that…I guess I don't have to be angry at you anymore…but with Katie-" Sunny went on to complain more, but Sadie interjected immediately.

"She's married, no worries there. And even if she wasn't I don't think she'd be much into Lukas. He isn't exactly her type," Sadie retorted and propped her coffin back up, starting to move it along while Sunny struggled to get started with her own.

Confessional

"Like, Sadie? What's up with you?" Katie waved her hand in front of her friend, though she was just lost in her blushing fit as she stared down. "Helloooooooooooooo? Like, why do I always miss the fun stuff?"


"Hmm…hmmm…" Sunny stroked her chin in thought, with Lukas still noticeably upset. "Well…I guess that solves one of my issues. Just have to figure out what to do about the other one…" She glanced over at her babysitter, looking a bit sad as she saw his angry face. "I'm sorry, okay!"


"Marty, what was all that chit chat when I was in the coffin? I heard Sadie around, but I couldn't tell what she was saying." Xavier inquired Marty, who was resting his head against his arms while he leaned against a wall.

"Hm? Oh, don't worry about it, man. I was just giving her a hand with something, that's all." After he answered his friend, he smiled ever so slightly.

Confessional End

"D-don't worry about a thing, Freddy! It's just a castle with no animatronics and you've got Colin in your arms…kinda." Freddy gulped nervously as he dragged his team's coffin behind him. He walked down a stairwell with it, taking notice of the paintings that were on the wall. A lot of them were rather gruesome scenes of Vlad the Impaler's battles, but those didn't seem to really bother him. "Y-yeah! Just normal history with a normal, bloodlusting ruler behind it all! Nothing out of the ordinary!"

Freddy started to chuckle a little bit, being noticeably less frightened with each painting he looked at. Eventually, he got to the bottom of the stairs, and looked directly at a painting in the center of the foyer, one of Vlad the Impaler himself. He continued to chuckle and started walking towards it.

"Yeah! You were just some psycho dude that craved blood and all that fun stuff!" The FNAF fanatic continued to laugh while he looked the painting up and down. "It's so funny! History's a lot like lore, in a way! Heheh…heh…" Freddy's lightheartedness started to dampen as he kept looking at the painting. He started turning his head to the side, noticing that the painting seemed to be changing as he looked at it. "You know…this painting kinda looks like…" The realization suddenly hit him, and he leapt off of the ground, slapping his hands against his face and hollering loudly, "VAMPIRE AFTON! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" With that screech, he ran off into the castle, leaving his coffin in the middle of the foyer.

"Uh…Freddy?" Colin called out from inside the coffin, though he got no response from his friend, who was currently running around and shining his flashlight beam in random places. "...Freeeeeeeddy?"

Confessional

"Man, it really is cramped in here…" Colin tried his best to squeeze himself into a better position in the coffin, but it wasn't much use. "Freddy probably didn't go that far, right? M-maybe he just really had to pee or something, I don't know…oh man…I knew I should've been the one to get the tip this time…"

Confessional End

"Almost there…almost…" Phoebe grunted as she shoved her team's coffin towards one of the open graves, soon getting right there and wiping the sweat from her forehead. "Huh…ahead of everybody else…a-and I did it all by myself." She smiled for a moment, soon looking back and seeing a couple of the other teams from the first flight on their way down. She noticed Honey, Mika, Olive, and Angel, but there was a lack of Arnold and Richard, though she didn't care much about the first one. "Richard…?"

"What's the hold up, Phoebe!? Aren't we at the graveyard already?" Jamie Lynn started to slam her fists against the coffin door, but Phoebe just sat down on it and kept staring back at the castle. "Ugh! What's on top of this thing!?"

"Richard…" Phoebe frowned, completely ignoring her partner's cries of agony and just continuing to look off into the distance. She was passed by Mika and Olive first, who giggled as they dumped their teams' coffins into different open graves. As they did, Conroy and Becky burst out of them, the former a bit dazed, though the latter just seemed angry.

"Becks! I-" Olive tried to speak, but was immediately cut off by Becky putting a finger to her face.

"Don't. We don't go working with random people because we're scared of the castle." Becky huffed and got out of the coffin all the way, bypassing a saddened Olive and walking over to the hunchbacked gravedigger, who was holding a travel tip for them. She took it from him, not at all bothered by his appearance. "'Ride on horseback to the Romanian gymnastics training center to find the next dukebox.'" Becky looked off to the side to see a good deal of horses standing by, just waiting for the teams to finish the challenge. Olive perked up a bit when she noticed them, but Becky shut her down immediately. "Don't even think about naming the horse. You're in trouble."

"Ah…" Olive whimpered and followed Becky to the horses.

Confessional

"...But can I just-" Olive raised her hand to protest, but was glared at by Becky, whose eyes were flaming hot, as they were whenever she was angry about something. "R-right, sorry…"

Confessional End

"Woop!" Honey shoved her coffin into one of the open graves, causing it to smash open and reveal a rather jostled Mitsuki, who was pried out of the grave by her partner. "See? You're not actually dead! The whole coffin thing was just a little game!"

"I…know what it was…" Mitsuki groaned and pulled herself away from her partner's clutches to go get the next tip.

"Geez, Becky sure is pretty hard on Olive, isn't she?" Mika frowned as the Bloody Prom Queens started to ride off into the distance. Conroy stared at the duo for a brief moment before making a soft noise. "What was that?"

"Maybe she's just trying to teach her not to trust strangers…that's the only logical conclusion I could come to." Conroy brushed some of the dust off of himself, but he also noticed that Mika was pretty bummed out about the whole Olive thing. "...Maybe we could show them that we don't have any ulterior motives? You just want to be Olive's friend, right?"

"Yeah! I don't wanna sabotage them or anything like that…I don't even think my brain could take the emotional backlash from doing that." Mika puffed her cheeks up and started perking up again, "Well, let's get to horse riding! Maybe we can catch up to them at that gym place!" Conroy nodded, and the two ran over to their horse. Meanwhile, back in the castle, Arnold was dragging the largest coffin that any of the teams had in their possession behind them.

"Hmph…this bulky coffin is just the type of challenge that I needed to level the playing field for all of us!" The rich boy chuckled, but it was pretty clear that he was having some struggles. As he pressed on, he suddenly heard a loud screech coming from behind him. He turned around to see Freddy barrelling towards him with his arms up in the air. He stepped aside, causing the gamer to crash into the coffin and fall to the ground. "...Now, is this really the time and place to just run around and holler at the top of your lungs?"

"H-huh?" Freddy shook his head rapidly before looking up at Arnold. His vision was really blurry, so it sort of made some colors blend together. He saw his face as a stark purple color in his dizziness. "P-purple gu-" before he could finish what he was going to say, the bright cyan of Arnold's vest stuck out like a sore thumb. Freddy focused his vision on the vest, and eventually, things stopped blending together. He climbed up from the ground, "Oh…it's just you, Arnold. Wait…Colin!" The gamer suddenly screamed and ran away from the scene.

"Purple guy? What is he on about?" Arnold paused for a moment and looked down at his vest, taking note of the color that it was. He narrowed his eyes and glanced at the coffin, which had Aisling still stuffed in it. "Hm…mere coincidence. I'm sure that things would've been fine, even if I was wearing that purple shirt."

Confessional

"Really, losing a challenge because of the color shirt that I wear can't be anything serious! It's much like all the other mumbo jumbo that Aisling spouts: empty longings to be important! She just wants to fluke being right once so that I'll believe her magic!" Arnold laughed obnoxiously and leaned against the coffin with Aisling in it. "Yeah, as if that's ever going to happen! I'll sooner have an easier time showing her that her magic is all a farce! That is, if she actually believes in it herself!"

Confessional End

"Aye, Virgilio! Coffin!" Michael smiled and patted his hand against the door of an open coffin that he found, with Virgil sighing and walking towards it. "Did you want a hand getting in there?"

"You seriously think I need a hand from you, you cishet? Ah!" Virgil suddenly screamed and covered his mouth, staring back at Michael, who was now just thoroughly confused.

"Um…that's a fairly new insult in your book. Oh, I get it! You were using the term to make fun of how outrageous you think those people sound! Wonderful, just like my Virgilio to do something like that!" Michael clapped his hands, but Virgil soon jabbed his pointer finger right into his chest.

"Your Virgilio? Like I'm your property!? Leave it to a man like you to try and claim ownership of someone else! Ah fucking hell!" Virgil covered his mouth again and climbed into the coffin, shutting it tightly on himself and leaving Michael on the outside of it.

"A…ah…right? I'm sorry, I guess?" Michael stared at the coffin inquisitively before shrugging and starting to pull it along with him. "Transylvania has got really weird air, just as I had said."

"Move…ah…out…ah…of the way!" Richard could be heard grunting behind Michael as he slowly trudged along with the overly heavy coffin from before. "Ugh…my knees are never going to forgive me for this…" Back outside, Olive and Becky were racing their horse quickly towards the training center, but Mika and Conroy were catching up to them quite quickly at this point.

"Ugh…can't this thing go any faster? Move it, horse!" Becky kicked her heel against the horse's side, causing it to buck her and Olive off, sending them flying past the dukebox and crashing into a nearby dumpster. Mika and Conroy came to a stop at the box, cringing at the sight of the girls landing into the garbage.

"Um…I'll go check on them if you want to get the next tip, senior!" Conroy nodded at Mika, who ran off to go help the Bloody Prom Queens.

"Botch or watch…oh…oh! Gymnastics!" Conroy smiled before the camera transitioned to the inside of the gymnasium, showing Duke slowly and carefully walking a balance beam.

"Gymnastics, the thing that every other athlete mocks for being way too dainty! Whichever teammate didn't have to face the deadly bullet ants in Brazil will have to get in here and perform two gymnastic feats! One, walk a balance beam and end it with a perfect center split!" Duke did a little jump at the end of the beam and ended with a split, causing him some intense groin pain. "Ayiiiiiie! The Dukester's little Dukey is gonna be feeling that for a while…" He slumped forward, off of the beam, but caught himself before he fell and started running. "After that, they'll have to jump over this vaulting horse and land on the gym mat just past it!" Using a small trampoline, Duke bounced over the horse and landed perfectly on the mat, soon walking over to meet an angry looking coach.

"After they've performed their feats, the teams will have to get approval from this grumpy, Romanian bastard! After that, it's just a matter of who can run down the road to reach the chill zone the fastest!" The camera panned over to show Duke standing in the chill zone in the thunderstorm, "The last team to make it here is, you guessed it, done for!" Back in the gym, Mika was cracking her neck while getting ready to run towards the balance beam. Nearby, a garbage-caked Olive and Becky were watching, the latter furious as could be with her older sister giving Mika a big thumbs up.

"Well, here goes nothing!" Mika took a deep breath and started running, leaping up onto the balance beam with ease. She danced along it, her quick, yet purposeful movements helping her to avoid falling off of the beam. Near the end, she did a little flip, which ended in the perfect split that Duke had mentioned before. She then got off of the beam, steaming on ahead towards the trampoline and bouncing onto it. She had to have done about eight or nine full somersaults in the air, and she landed on both of her feet with a big smile. Conroy rushed over to join her, and the two were quickly granted the thumbs up from the judge. "Woohoo!"

Confessional

"Admittedly, that challenge might've been a bit more difficult for me, considering I'm far larger and bulkier than Mika is. Not to mention nowhere near as energetic. She's got all she needs to finish up something like that with plenty of pizzazz!" Conroy cheered his teammate on, causing her to blush and take a few bows.

"Thank you, thank you! We could probably run to the chill zone now, but maybe if we wait around for the Prom Queens, Becky will start trusting us?" Mika looked up at Conroy wishingly, though he shrugged, not having a clear answer for her. "Meh, no harm in waiting around a bit!"

Confessional End

"We've got plenty of teams already well on their way to the gymnasium, or in the gymnasium already, but that still leaves five teams stuck behind with their coffins!" Duke's announcement hollered over the view of Phoebe still sitting on top of her team's coffin and staring at the top of the hill while Jamie Lynn kept smashing her fists on the inside of it.

"Get…me…out…of this thing! I swear, I'm going to kill you when we're done with this!" Phoebe, again, ignored everything that her partner was saying, though she did seem to perk up a little when she finally saw Richard coming over the hill.

"Richard!" She smiled and waved to him, but soon noticed that he was in the midst of his own struggle, still having a near-impossible time with pushing the coffin with Andrew in it. Things were still calm for a moment, but that moment came to a close when James and Lady Belle shoved their coffins out of the castle, each with intent to reach the graveyard. "H-huh? No no…"

"Urk…Eli, sport! I'm gonna have you lay off the heavy calorie meals! You're making this coffin weigh quite a bit more than it should!" James chuckled a bit, mixing in some painful grunts as he shoved his coffin past Richard.

"Likewise for you, Ursula. I can handle the heft of this thing, but that doesn't excuse your gelatinous hippopotamus hips." Lady Belle made her sassy retort, and easily took the lead over the other two teams that were heading down the hill.

"Aw…come on…man!" Richard grunted loudly and gave the coffin his biggest push, but even that seemed to have little bearing on where it was positioned, moving it forward only an inch or so. "Andrew…if we lose here…I swear…

"R-Richard…no…he's so far behind…" Phoebe crossed her fingers tightly, praying for some sort of miracle, but it didn't seem to be doing anything, as Richard was falling way behind the other two teams. "Libby, t-tell me what to do here! I don't want him to lose!"

"You think I want him to lose? You really are a worthless idiot bitch, you know that?" Libby sighed inside of Phoebe's head as she sat there and continued to worry about Richard's fate. "Look, you and I know there's only one thing that's gonna help him out here."

"You don't mean…" Phoebe paused and looked down for a moment before taking in a deep breath. She stood up from the coffin, her eyes closed and her face red as could be. "RICHARD! LOOK OVER HERE!" Richard could hear Phoebe from where he was stuck, and did as instructed. The very moment he looked at her, she reached down, grabbing the bottom of her shirt and pulling it all the way up so that it covered her face, but nothing else.

"Buh…buhhhh…" Richard was mesmerized for a moment, while both James and Lady Belle were looking away from the sight. "...BOOOOOOOBIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES!" He let out a powerful shout and reached forward at the coffin, soon steamrolling it down the hill and blowing right past the other two teams. He shoved Andrew into one of the open graves without a second thought and ran right over to Phoebe, who smiled and reached behind her to shove Jamie Lynn into the open grave behind her.

"OW, BITCH!" Phoebe ignored Jamie Lynn's screech and just kept smiling at Richard.

Confessional

"You really wasted all that time and got us in the bottom five teams just for that dweeb? Are you fucking kidding me right now?" Jamie Lynn grabbed Phoebe by the shoulders and started to throttle her, though this seemed to have no effect, as the latter was just smiling and blushing with jaded eyes. "What the hell is wrong with you!? Do you not care about this race!?"

"I have special booby powers…" Phoebe spoke with the most confidence she could muster, not being super loud, but not stuttering at all.


"Tsk, plebeian…you need to work out more if you're going to complain about my weight in challenges like this. You know I wouldn't have known such struggles if I were the one to take the lead in that challenge." Andrew licked some cheese puff crumbles off of his fingers while an awestruck Richard stared up at the moonlit sky. "Hello? Is there something wrong with your ears?"

"No talk…only boobies…" Richard just kept staring away, looking at the stars in wonder.

Confessional End

"Leave us alone already, weakbloods! Agh!" Becky shouted and thre her arms up in annoyance as she darted for the chill zone, grabbing Olive by the arm and pulling her along with her. "You see what you did, Olive? You had to go and make friends with one of the weakbloods and now they won't leave us alone!"

"B-but Mika was just tryin' to make it so I wasn't so afraid of the dark, she wasn't trying to distract us or nothin'!" Olive pleaded with her sister, smiling back at both Mika and Conroy, who smiled and waved at her. "See? They even stuck around after they beat the gymnastics part to wait for us to finish! Does that seem like something someone would do if they were trying to make things more difficult for us?"

"That's not the point! They've got each other, we've got each other, we don't need them! There's only two other people here that we have any business, and they're currently still in the gym!" As Becky ranted, the camera panned back to show Honey doing an upside down split on the balance beam, with Mitsuki doing her best not to stare. It then cut right back to the Bloody Prom Queens, who finally landed on the chill zone, where Duke was waiting for them.

"Bloody Prom Queens, you guys are first place! Really brings back memories of the very first leg, doesn't it?" Duke sighed and stared longingly at the sky before shaking his head as the Basketball Team weren't far behind. "Basketball Team is second! Blew a lead for a couple of toddlers? Lame. You jabronis are never gonna make it if you keep doing things like that." Mika and Conroy shrugged, aiming to talk with Olive and Becky, but the girls were nowhere to be seen, as Becky had already pulled her sister far from the chill zone. Back in the gymnasium, Angel was taking her turn on the balance beam, walking it very carefully and managing to do an elegant split at the end.

"Bam! That's what I'm talkin' about, Angel!" Jacque cheered his teammate on, getting a confused look shot back at him from her. He rubbed the back of his neck and grinned, "Well, it was a pretty good split, y'know?"

"Right…" Angel jumped off of the beam and started walking towards the trampoline, but she noticed that it was currently being used by Honey, who was just bouncing up and down on it repeatedly. The reality show veteran walked over to Mitsuki, who was pinching the bridge of her nose in annoyance. "Does your new partner always act like a buffoon in the middle of the challenges?"

"M-more times than you would think…" Mitsuki groaned and pulled her hand away from her face to start shouting at Honey. "H-hey! You're supposed to jump over that horse there!"

"But it doesn't look like a horse…oh, well!" Honey giggled and did as she was instructed, landing on the mat with a bounce. She smiled at the coach, but he didn't share a smile back, only a measly thumbs up. "Woohoo! We did it, we did it!" She jumped up and down in celebration, leading Mitsuki to grab her wrist and drag her along. "Oh, we're leaving the gym now? Bye, gym!"

"Right, then…my turn, I suppose." Angel backed up a bit from the trampoline, getting a running start before jumping onto it. Unfortunately for her, her shoe got caught in the process, causing her to flop right on her face when she hit the mat. Jacque winced and rushed over to her to help her up.

"Ha. Funny," the Romanian coach spoke without a hint of emotion in his voice, holding up a thumbs to the Rivals.

"Ugh…is it bad?" Angel looked over to Jacque, who saw that her nose was bright red and swollen from the impact.

"B-bad?" Jacque did his best to hold back his laught as he saw how bulbous her nose looked in that state, "N-nah, you look just like you always do!" Angel lightly smiled, starting to take a step forward, but ultimately wobbling and toppling over.

Confessional

"Pfffffffffffffffffffffffffffft!" Jacque slapped his knee and burst out into a hollering laugh, "Did ya see the size of that thing? Got that girl running around like Rudolph the Red-Nosed Paindeer! Hooooey! I tell ya, I ain't had me a laugh that good in quite some time!"

"I'm right here, you know." Angel crossed her arms and glared at Jacque, her swollen nose throbbing as she did.

"Oh, I know. And you should know that that was funny as hell!" Angel sighed while Jacque continued to laugh at her discomfort.

Confessional End

"Oh, don't tell me you're seriously consulting that ball on how to make the perfect jump! It's a trampoline! You jump on it and it sends you up!" Arnold whined while Aisling rubbed her hands on her crystal ball, doing the very thing that he was complaining about. "Seriously, you're just wasting a lot of precious time at this rate!"

"Hold on just a moment…I'm almost done with this brief consultation." Ailsing lightly shushed partner and continued to rub her hands on the ball, with Arnold looking behind them to see the oncoming swarm of the other teams.

"Alright, up off the ground, gypsy! You don't have a moment to be wasting on this! Go, go, go!" Arnold abruptly pulled Aisling up from the ground, giving her a good shove to send her hurdling towards the trampoline. She bounced on it face first, but while she was sailing through the air, she had her ball in hand, rubbing it. She used whatever knowledge it gave her to land perfectly before the judge, who awarded her with a thumbs up. "Finally!"

"Out of the way, honey!" Vanessa shouted loudly as she started running towards the trampoline. She jumped up and landed on her rear end, which sent her bouncing up almost near to the ceiling. She rolled on her way down, and landed in a pretty perfect split. "...Taaaaa-daaaa…"

Confessional

"That split really was something mahvelous, dahling!" Karma clapped for her partner, who seemed to be lost in thought with her teary eyes. "D-dahling? Is something wrong?"

"My ovaries burn…" Vanessa soon gagged and barfed all over Karma, who glanced back at the camera and blinked at it a few times.

Confessional End

"Woohoo, keep 'em coming!" Duke flexed impressively as more teams ran to the chill zone, "Hottie and Nottie, third! Reality Show Rivals, fourth! Psychic and Skeptic, fifth! Glow-Up Gals, sixth!" Back in the gym, Logan was walking on the balance beam, though clearly having quite a struggle, as she wobbled back and forth. She ended up falling off the side of it, with Evan sighing and rolling his eyes at her.

"Come on, Logan…you got this…just like you do with everything." He tried to sound like his usual cheerful, obediant self, but it was clear that his annoyance was slipping through in some of his words.

"I just feel so…off balance…urg…I hate this feeling…" Logan pulled herself up from the ground slowly and started to groggily walk back to the start of the balance beam. Meanwhile, Zeke was just now finishing his perfect somersault through the air and landing on the mat in front of the coach, who gave him a thumbs up.

"Aw, sweet!" He cheered and turned around to high five Lyle. They moved out of the way just in time for Marty to jump in. His landing was a bit wobbly, but he caught himself before he fell, striking a pose before the judge, who rolled his eyes and gave him the same thumbs up. On the balance beam, Katie was very carefully walking along it, but she did a pretty intricate flip, landing perfectly and jumping off so that Logan could climb back onto it. Almost immediately, though, she fell off of it. Sunny quickly took her place on the beam, using her small body and quick movements to walk it and flip on it with ease. She was a bit disappointed, though, that Lukas was still upset with her.

Confessional

"Equilibrium is so off…" Logan wobbled back and forth, with Evan thrusting a glass into her hands. "What's this…?"

"Coffee. It sometimes helps people that are dr-...out of focus." Evan smiled, and Logan sighed before reluctantly drinking the coffee down in one sip. Her eyes shot wide open, and she instantly seemed more alert. "Go get 'em, tiger."

Confessional End

"Coffee, coffee, coffee!" Logan shouted the same word over and over again feverishly, shoving Michael out of the way and practically running along the balance beam to continue with her gymnastics. She did a pretty sick flip in the process, but spared no time before heading onto the trampoline. She bounced onto it quickly, doing a plethora of flips through the air and landing with a dashing pose. The coach seemed impressed, but not impressed enough to show any emotion, as he just gave her a thumbs up. "C-coffee!"

"Yes, I know, it can be pretty wonderful. Let's go!" Evan grabbed his jittery cousin and dragged her along with him and out of the gymnasium.

"Conservationists, seventh place!" Duke was still back at the chill zone, greeting the next few teams that were arriving. "Friendly Duo, you're in the clear at eighth! BFFFLS, a nice ninth never hurt anybody! Sailor America Fans, you're kicking off the bottom half in tenth! And Vicious Pop Stars, eleventh! Not bad, but definitely not good."

"Coliiiiiiin! Coliiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiin! Oh, there you are!" Freddy ran back into the foyer of the castle, grabbing the coffin from the ground and chuckling nervously as he started to shove it along. "S-sorry about just leaving you back here, I sorta had a little bit of a freakout, but…weirdly, I think Arnold helped me snap back to reality. How you holding up in there?"

"Hrm…?" Colin let out a pretty loud, bellowing yawn from within the coffin, smacking his lips a few times afterwards. "Well, I think I kinda dozed off after a few minutes…we're still in the castle, then?"

"Yup, still in the castle! Not to worry, though! Fredbear's got a buttload of energy to spend getting us back in the race!" Freddy grinned from ear to ear and started to shove the coffin incredibly fast, a lot faster than the other teams before him. "Really, I feel terrible about just leaving you behind like that…you're doing alright in there, right?"

"Yeah…no complaints. Well, other than a really stiff back. But, hey, I'm in a coffin. All coffin's have got stiffs livin' in 'em." Colin let out a dry chuckle at his own joke, with Freddy even chuckling a little bit. "You're doing good, too?"

"Yup…much better than before, at least. You know…I've been thinking…maybe I should stop watching so many FNAF lore videos before I go to bed." Freddy frowned a bit, but kept pushing the coffin, eventually getting it out of the castle and starting his walk down the hill with it.

"Yeah? What makes you say that?"

"Well, I figure that's part of the problem with my panics I've been having lately. I just keep watching those videos and they give me the heebie jeebies! Keeps me up all night and then ruins my sleep schedule, that sort of thing." In no time, Freddy reached the bottom of the hill, shoving Colin's coffin into the very last open grave. The other gamer pulled himself up and out of the grave soon after, smiling at Freddy, who smiled back at him.

Confessional

"Freddy, you know, even with you leaving me in that coffin for what seemed like an eternity, I gotta say it…I think you've really matured a little bit." Colin smiled as he rested his hand against Freddy's shoulder, "If I were your parents, I'd totally be proud of you…you know, unlike how mine are with me."

"Psh, my folks probably think I belong in a looney bin, I've just never asked them about it! But still on a serious note, thanks for helping me get through all these legs so far." Freddy smiled and did the same as his friend, placing his hand on his shoulder. "I really couldn't have asked for a better partner than you." The two continued to smile at each other, both of them eventually blushing and looking away from each other nervously.

Confessional End

"YouTuber and Editor, you guys are in twelfth!" More teams started to rush through to the chill zone, Duke doing as he did and cheering them on. "Wilderness Girls, thirteenth! Awkward Neighbors, fourteenth! Dweebs, and astounding fifteenth! Maybe give Richard an ice bath, eh? I'm sure his muscles will thank you." Andrew shrugged and carried the broken down Richard with him away from the chill zone. "This just leaves three teams back in the race! The Dynamic Gamers were far behind, but they've been catching up quick, really making use of those speedrunning techniques!"

"We gotta hurry!" Freddy and Colin burst through the door to the gym just as Ursula had finished doing her vault and got a thumbs up from the judge. Elliott had yet to get onto the balance beam, and Freddy ran in as fast as he could to steal the show from him. "Up! Left, Right, Left, Right, Left! Up!" The gamer walked in tune with the cheat code that he was speaking, jumping with each "up." "Twirl the control stick for three seconds…and…Down!" On the down, he landed perfectly in a split, astounding Colin while he got off of the balance beam and moved on.

"What the-? Did he really just push me out of the way!? No way, man!" Elliott fumed and jumped onto the balance beam, walking it as quickly as he could and doing a split, just as Freddy had done. It certainly hurt his jewels quite a bit, at least enough to bring a tear to his eye, but he wiped it away and pressed on.

"Bachelorettes! You MILFs got sixteenth place…thank goodness." Duke wiped the sweat from his brow while Lady Belle and Ursula sighed in relief.

"Come on, Freddy, you got this!" Colin loudly cheered for Freddy as he jumped onto the tramploine, spinning around a bit in the air before landing in quite the menacing stance in front of the judge. After they got their thumbs up, they immediately booked it for the door, but Elliott wasted no time in doing his jump and getting his thumbs up as well.

"Come on, pops! We gotta pass those gamers before it's too late!" Elliott grabbed James and tugged him along ferociously, heading outside with him.

"Hold on there, sport! My legs ain't what they used to be! If you make me run like this, I'm definitely gonna pull something!" James panted as he was dragged along by Elliott, the duo a good ways behind Colin and Freddy at this point.

"Then I'll just…" Elliott looked ahead to see Lady Belle fanning herself past the chill zone. He swallowed down a lump in his throat, grabbing his "father" and holding him high above his head. "Use my strong, working boy muscles! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

"Huh? Oh, crap! Keep running, Fredbear!" Colin took noted of the oncoming "Father and Son?," urging his teammate to run faster, which he did. Freddy ran and ran as fast as his little legs could carry him, landing on the chill zone just second before Elliott did with James. Colin arrived shortly after, excitedly wrapping Freddy up in a big hug. "You did it, Freddy, you did it!"

"I…I did it!" Freddy smiled and wrapped his arms around Colin in response, with Elliott dropping James to the ground and staring blankly at Duke.

"Well done! You guys are still in the race at seventeenth place…" Duke clapped his hands slowly, with Freddy and Colin still cheering for themselves, "...'Father and Son?!'"

"What!?" Colin let go of Freddy and looked up at Duke in disbelief, with James and Elliott sighing in relief. "But…but Freddy totally got to the chill zone before they did!"

"That's right, Freddy did. You, Colin, did not." Duke shook his head at the gamers, with the "Father and Son?" walking past the chill zone. "You guys know the rules. Both teams have to be in the chill zone to be considered safe. Guess it wasn't Freddy that you should've been worried about in this challenge, huh?" The host laughed and walked away, leaving Colin behind and quite visibly upset. Freddy, nonetheless, went back to hugging his partner, causing him to feel some relief.


"Well…I guess I blew it, just like I do with everything else." Colin sighed as the clip of him and Freddy at the spice rack, where Freddy was panicking for no reason, was showing. "Sorry, Fredbear, I really tried at the end there…guess I just couldn't really keep up with all of your energy."

"Hm? Oh, don't even worry about that! Heck, we wouldn't have been stuck so far behind if I wasn't wasting my time freaking out about a dude that doesn't exist!" Freddy laughed, and the next clip was shown, the one of the two of them powering through their feast back in Iceland. "At least there was something I got out of this…I learned not to fear things that probably aren't real."

"Yeah, I don't feel like I really learned anything." Colin sighed again, and the duo were seen talking to Aisling and Arnold on the shuttle bus from earlier. "But…I did get to spend a lot of time with you, which did make this a lot better than it would've been if I was stuck with anybody else as my partner."

"Oh, I loved being your partner, too! You were always cheering me on at every corner, no matter what silly mistake I made!" Freddy kept talking as the clip of him freaking out in Dracula's castle was playing. "You know, though…just cause we're out of the race doesn't mean we're gonna stop hanging out."

"Oh, yeah…we're always gonna be really good friends…" Colin and Freddy were seen walking through Transylvania together, with Colin staring down at the ground. Freddy soon reached over and held his hand, which was completely unexpected for him. "F-Freddy…?"

"You know…you could always join me for a bite as something more than just a really good friend…if that was something you wanted to do." The two gamers blushed, though they couldn't even look at each other with how flustered they were. Nevertheless, the smiles on their faces said it all.
