My comments for the reviews in the last chapter:

JMBuilder: No problem, dude! Thanks for reading the series, very appreciate it!

Guest: It depends on the leg structure and the scenes and dramas that adds up to the competition part of the series. My prediction that this leg will be consisting of 3-4 parts.

Platrium: I'm glad you liked the new element that I added. It's always cool to use your creativity to make it a reality, isn't it? XD Anyways, do you now have a bet on who's winning the whole season? Or maybe you can place your bet on who's taking those Double Express Passes? :3


Episode 1, Part 1 – "We're Going Home Country" - Sami


Teams began sprinting and set their sights towards the large wall of leaves. While a team stopped for a moment and discussed the details of the challenge.

"Is it the maple leaf, ain't it?" Sami whispered over to Kevin's ears.

"Canada's red, maple's the national tree. So it is maple leaf." Kevin stated over Sami's ears. "Come on! Let's find that!"

The others were having a hard time figuring the leaf that they think is precise. While some teams decided to give it a shot. Like Eleanor & Theodore and Linda & Lawrence who proceeds to Phil, checking upon their leaves. The former had a yellow-colored oak leaf, while the latter picked a green-colored elm leaf.

"I'm sorry but both of them are wrong," Phil announced, sending them back.

"Aww…" Theodore groaned in reaction.

Right back at the wall of leaves, both Emma & Noah decided to gather to the right side of the wall and talked about the challenge.

"There's too many of them! Where in the hell can we find that leaf quickly?" Emma said, frustrated and keeps observing the leaves that she grasps.

"The host said we must find a leaf that resembles a country and… that country bleeds red. The second part's kind of puzzling and shady." Noah recalled the description of the challenge. "It could be a maple leaf somehow because… obvious reasons."

"I don't think it could be that, it could be—"

"A-ha!"

Emma got interrupted by an optimistic shout from Kevin, who just found a leaf as Sami follows his best friend. In the midst of the moment, Emma caught a glimpse of the pad from her vision and sheepishly realized.

She blinked her eyes twice and concluded. "It is the maple leaf!"

As per Kevin & Sami, they went out to Phil as he checks the appearance.

"That is correct, congratulations, here's your first clue." He hands over the clue to Kevin, who picked it up.

Kevin & Sami – currently in 1st Place

"Oh, yes!" Sami jumped in celebration.

"Pick up your bags and read the first clue." Phil reminded them.

"Thank you so much." Kevin nodded and soon ran off out of the host's presence.

In a quite distance between the starting line, Kevin opened the clue. When they scanned the details, they became surprised as Kevin reads the detail aloud.

"Fly to your first destination, Halifax, Nova Scotia in Canada!"

"Holy crap! We're going home country! This is great!" Sami cannot contain his excitement when he found out the new info that the clue had said.

"First flight can fit seven teams and leaves ninety minutes earlier than the second flight! Come on, to the airport!"

They grabbed their bags and went on to find a cab.

While the other teams attempted to leave the starting line as fast as possible as they went over Phil to check their acquisition, one by one.

"No, that's not correct," Phil told Leslie & Penny.

"Ugh! No!" Leslie reacted in a fit of mild anger.

"That's not the right leaf," Phil told Sanjay & Craig.

"Dang it!" Sanjay reacted as they went back to the wall.

When Phil checked their leaf, he silently went up to them.

"That is correct." He nodded.

Emma & Noah – currently in 2nd Place

"Yes!" Emma exclaimed excitedly.

"Here's your clue and get outta here."

"We will." Noah received the clue from Phil and nodded as they went off to their bags.

"Good job of thinking that, Noah!" Emma complimented.

"Ah, thanks." Noah smiled over her. "Power of logical thinking takes over to the competition."


Emma & Noah (Confessional)

"Logical thinking… really works perfectly fine." Noah crossed arms confidently.


"We're going back to Canada! Alrighty then." Noah shrugged.

"Come on, I found one cab here," Emma called out Noah as they entered the cab and moved on.

The camera shoots back to the starting line where most teams are currently struggling in finding the right object.

"This is hard, ain't it?" Viola asked Charlie.

"Yeah, even my psychic instincts aren't working that much," Charlie replied.

"This is one tough starting task," Linda said.

"Well, figures, since, after all, it is called The Amazing Race for a reason," Lawrence replied calmly.

"Really? Did you hear what that couple said?" Chloe asked Timmy.

"Yep, it's maple leaf." Timmy nodded.


Timmy & Chloe (Confessional)

"Sometimes, I can overhear a conversation with people within the point blank range. And I actually heard the couple saying that it's a maple leaf." Timmy explained his peculiar talent.


A few minutes ago

The camera recaptures Emma's expression and said.

"It is the maple leaf!" Emma said.

Within their side was Chloe & Timmy, with the latter eavesdropping to the other team as his ear grew up. He smirked at this newly gathered info.


Timmy & Chloe (Continuation of Confessional)

"Wow! Never thought you had that power! I'm glad that I picked you out as my partner." Chloe praises her partner.

"I bet that." Timmy simply replied.


While back to the challenge where teams are still competing for the first challenge. Meanwhile, Clarence took notice of what Jeff has caught at his hand.

"What is that on your hand?" Clarence asked.

"It's a maple leaf." Jeff quickly answered.

"Should we try it?"

"Sure." Jeff shrugged. "Besides, we're unsure that we might get this one right."

Clarence didn't respond as they began running to the host. As per Timmy & Chloe, the former clawed the specific leaf that they needed and also sprinted out of the wall to go for Phil. Clarence & Jeff went to the host first, followed by Timmy & Chloe from behind. The first team showed their green-colored maple leaf.

"That is correct." Phil positively verdicts their choice. "Here's your clue and get your bags."

Clarence & Jeff – currently in 3rd Place

"Yahoo!" Clarence reacted happily as he shared his fives to Jeff. He briskly accepts the clue and ran out of Phil.

Then came up next are Timmy & Chloe who picked a red-colored maple leaf.

"You're correct and here's your clue."

Timmy & Chloe – currently in 4th Place

"Yes!" Chloe simply reacted and she clawed the clue from Phil's hand.


John F. Kennedy International Airport

A team arrived at the airport as they found the marked counter and talked to the attendant.

"Can we have the tickets to Halifax, please?" Kevin simply requests to the counter.


Kevin & Sami (Confessional)

"Here's an update for us – so far, so good!" Sami said enthusiastically. "We're pretty excited on flying back to our country. We felt so alive at this point!"

He looked over to Kevin, who kept his stern face.

"And you can tell that his face is also delighted. Kevin and I are gonna get those Express Passes, our way!" Sami continued.

"You're damn right it is!" Kevin suddenly replied, in which Sami startled at first but then smiled afterward.


Kevin & Sami – 1st on 1st Flight

"Here's your tickets." The counter sends the tickets to the team.

"Thank you so much." Kevin bobbed and thanked the attendant.

"Come on, dude! Let's hide before anyone can see us!" Sami offered in an impatient tone.

"Alright, I'm following you," Kevin replied.

They proceeded to the airport's restroom before Emma & Noah arrived at the counter in a crucial second.

"Okay, we're here alone," Emma observed the place.

"Or not. The first ones are probably hiding somewhere, avoiding us or they could have been somewhere other than the airplane itself." Noah statistically theorized.

Emma blinked twice in surprise but then rearranges herself into a serious one.

"Alright, let's get those tickets."

"Sure…" Noah shrugged in agreement.

The counter presented the tickets to the couple in which they accepted gladly.

Emma & Noah – 2nd on 1st Flight

"Thanks!" Both participants said in unison.


Emma & Noah (Confessional)

"We're pumped at this point!" Emma exclaimed. "Canada's our home field advantage. There's no way we could be last there."

"From imagining that scenario, that's a fact. Besides, I've been to Halifax last month!" Noah added.

"Now we're talking!" Emma then proceeds to take Noah into a deep, quick kiss before their confessional ended abruptly.


Broadway Avenue – Times Square

More teams showed up to Phil to check their leaves, one by one.

"That's not correct," Phil said to Sanjay & Craig's yellow apple leaf.

"Not again!" Craig reacted in horror.

They went back and up next were Raven & Starfire who picked up a golden maple leaf.

"That's correct."

Raven & Starfire – currently in 5th Place

"Yeah!" Both reacted in different moods, in which the exhilarated Starfire received the clue.

They went up for their bags as Charlie & Viola followed next.

"That's not the right leaf," Phil said no to their ash leaf.

"Come on!" Charlie invites Viola, who both of them went back speedily.

Back to the leaf wall, Eleanor seemingly stares at the leaf of her interest. Her face lit up and called Theodore.

"Hey, Theodore! Give me a lift, I think I found that we needed!"

"Okay!"

Theodore stood up and tucks his face to give Eleanor a bridge between her balance. Eleanor climbs up to Theodore's nape as she quickly grabs the bronze-colored maple leaf.

"Yeah! I got it!" Eleanor celebrated but quickly changed as the wind speed increased and the leaf flew out of the athlete girl's clutches. "Oh, no!"

She hopped back to the ground. "The leaf flew off!"

"What?!" Theodore reacted in disbelief.

"Come on, we gotta catch that leaf!"

They began racing against the flying leaf as they entered the steel pipes from the barricade in which their expedition expands in the road while the audience watched in anticipation.

For the meantime, Sanjay also found a leaf that fascinates his eyes. He picked up a rare blue-colored maple leaf and called Craig.

"Hey, dude!"

Craig came over. "What is it?"

"I found something interesting."

Craig looked over to the special leaf as his eyes widened in awe.

"Wow! That looks good! Come on, we should check it to Phil!" Craig suggested.

"Great idea." Sanjay nodded, complimenting his buddy.

While Stan & Steve at the wall, talked for a few seconds to discuss the challenge.

"This challenge sucks! How are we missing something?" Stan incredulity said.

"Hmmm…" Steve hummed in response, tapping his chin. "Hold on! It ain't Afghanistan nor Iraq, it probably not meant by that because people always die and bleed. We're talking about a famous leaf!"

"Which is?" Stan commented, clueless at Steve's statement.

"The maple leaf!"

The father of the team widened his eyes in realization and slaps himself in the forehead. "Oh! That's what they meant by that? Oh, crap!"


Stan & Steve (Confessional)

"Dad really despise nerds, including me!" Steve confessed. "He took us on the worst place possible! By not taking my suggestion, we landed in the middle! And that's why folks you need to be a nerd on your team!"


"Come on! I got one now." Steve offered and grasped their guess at his fist.

They ran towards Phil, who currently checks Sanjay & Craig's object.

"This is correct."

"Yahoo!" Sanjay reacted cheerily as he gave Craig's head a light smack.

Sanjay & Craig – currently in 6th Place

Both Stan & Steve moved up next as the latter exposed their yellow maple leaf.

"That's correct."

Stan & Steve – currently in 7th Place

"Whew." Steve wiped his sweat in relief.

"Here's your clue." Phil offered the clue, in which Stan snatches it instantly.

"I'll take that!"

They both went out of Phil's sight. While Eleanor & Theodore are still hunting down the leaf in the air as they wandered around circles.

"Come back here!" Theodore exclaimed while huffing out his breath.

"Come on, come on!" Eleanor muttered.


Eleanor & Theodore (Confessional)

"We're supposed to be in 6th place right before the leaf soared out of my hands!" Eleanor said, feeling disappointed at herself.


John F. Kennedy International Airport

More teams secured their position at the first flight as they gathered around and met with each other to introduce themselves.

Clarence & Jeff – 3rd on 1st Flight

"Hey, guys! What's up?" Clarence waved to the other teams existing at the circle. "I'm Clarence! And this is my best friend, Jeff!" Jeff nervously to them.

Timmy & Chloe – 4th on 1st Flight

"Nice to meet you, guys!" Chloe waggled her right hand to everyone. "This is Timmy Turner, my neighbor, and my friend." She jerked her finger to her partner, who frowns immediately.

"And I'm Chloe Carmichael! And I'm sending salutations to you people!"

She immediately squeezes Timmy in a hug, Timmy was troubled resisting the heavy embrace given by his partner.

"I'm… going… to… slap… you… later…" Timmy said between gags.

Emma & Noah – on 1st Flight

"Ooh, I like you already." Noah gave out a thumbs up to Timmy's nature.

"Thanks…" Timmy coughed once Chloe releases him from her hold.

Raven & Starfire – 5th on 1st Flight

"Hi, guys!" Starfire sheepishly giggled. "I'm Starfire!"

"I'm Raven." Raven introduced herself in a dark tone.

"Okay, now I like you too already." Noah sends out the same gesture as Timmy's.

"Hey, where are the wrestlers though? They're the first ones here, right?" Starfire sends out two questions to the group.

"You mean Fatboy and his clown sidekick?" Noah replied. "Not their presence that we tracked, no, we didn't see them overall."

"We've been looking for them for fifteen minutes but none of them appeared," Emma added.

"Oh…" The others cooed in reaction.

"Well, let's find out if they can make it at the first flight, somehow, some way." Noah shrugged. "We're technically five teams at the first flight at the record, but let's wait and see who's joining the first batch."

The remaining teams nodded. While in the far side of the airport, Kevin & Sami were looking over to the other teams as they were sitting in the benches and covered their faces in both atlas and newspaper respectively.

"Can they really see us up here?" Kevin asked.

"In this distance that's so far ahead of their vantage point? Not a chance." Sami answered.

"Good, because I don't want to see their dull faces and their ugly smiles," Kevin added.


Kevin & Sami (Confessional)

"You see, when we found out that we're in the race, we gather up an agreement, an agreement that we're promised not to be teared up. And that is to not being involved in an alliance or any sorts of a team working field." Sami explained their secret plan.

"Or seeing their faces in a minute." Kevin elaborated.

"We're taking this plan into new heights as the race goes far ahead."


"Better keep our presence concealed," Kevin said.


Broadway Avenue – Times Square

Charlie & Viola got their leaf right as they celebrated quickly.

Charlie & Viola – currently in 8th Place

"Thanks, Phil!" Charlie receives the clue from Phil.

While outside of the starting line, Theodore's fatigue went into zero as he sat down on the dry floor, waiting for Eleanor to get the leaf.

"Come on, Eleanor! Grab him!" He shouted.

Eleanor heard Theodore's call and understands it clearly. She nodded and she began sprinting in a rabbit pace as she leaped off for a good foot to grasping the motionless object finally.

"Got it!"

"Ooh, finally." Theodore sighed in relief when hearing the good news.

They finally ran off back to the starting line as they went to Phil for checking.

"That is correct, here's your clue." Phil exposed the clue as Eleanor receives it.

Eleanor & Theodore – currently in 9th Place

"Thanks." Theodore tucked his head as a sign of respect.

They found a cab already as they got in, Eleanor panted like a tired animal as Theodore checked on her.

"Are you okay, Eleanor?" He asked.

"I'm fine, Theo. Thanks for checking me out." Eleanor replied with a hint of tiredness over her voice and her breath.

"Okay…" He trailed off as they silently laid down.


Outside Premise - John F. Kennedy International Airport

A team pulled off in front of the airport entrance was captured by the camera as that team thanked the driver as they entered the entrance. The other teams on the first flight saw them in excitement.

"Hey, guys!" One of them greeted them.

"You made it you two, nice job!" Chloe commended them.

Sanjay & Craig – 6th on 1st Flight

"Thanks, guys! We just gotta get the tickets." Craig said.

Followed by Sanjay & Craig, another team showed up and one of them asked the other goers.

"Are we safe?"

"Yeah! Welcome to the First Flight Club!" Clarence answered as the others celebrated them.

Stan & Steve – Last on 1st Flight

"Yes!" Steve exclaimed and nudges his dad. "Did you hear that, dad? We're on the first flight!"

"Ow!" Stan groaned in pain. "I know! I have ears, you know?!"

Both newly arriving teams received their tickets in which they will be leaving under 20 minutes.


Broadway Avenue – Times Square

"We're last, dear!" Linda realized.

"Yeah, I know. Things don't go according to our honest expectations, hon." Lawrence replied. "But do not worry, we're going to catch up later and better not be sour for the day."

"Alright." She nodded.

While Leslie & Penny were also left in the band, they were still looking for a certain leaf.

"Okay, if this isn't the right one this time, I'm gonna cry!" Penny seemed to found the right leaf.

"Come on! We don't want to be the last ones here." Leslie invited Penny to run faster.

While the parents picked up their choice as they followed the cousins. The cousins went over to Phil first, who silently looked at their green maple leaf.

"That's correct and here's your clue," Phil announced.

Leslie & Penny – currently in 10th Place

"Thank you so much!" Leslie reacted as Penny hugs the host.

When the cousins are gone, the parents came up as they showed the leaf that they collected, Phil looked to them in suspense as he raised his eyebrow.

"Oh, thank goodness," Linda said with relief.

"Thank you, my good man." Lawrence picked up their clue gently. "Come on, dear. Let's go!"


7:45PM – Air Canda Flight E75

The camera caught the moments from the seven teams before the takeoff occurs. They waved themselves to the camera, while for others they snubbed the cameraman as they were doing their stuff. Like Kevin & Sami, who both slept at their chairs. And Stan & Steve, in which the former sleeping with his mask on while the latter was eating chips. Suddenly, Stan screamed at his sleep making the others startled, especially Steve, who got his chip pieces flew all over the place.

"Jesus fucking Christ, dad!" Steve reacted furiously while picking up the pieces who fell over to his pants.

"Long hair, don't care!" Stan chuckled while sleeping, making Steve even angrier than ever.

After that, the first plane flew off from the runway, followed by the second flight, which flew off 90 minutes after the first flight.

"All teams are now on their flights taking them almost 900 miles further northeast to Halifax, Nova Scotia at the nearby country of Canada. Kevin & Sami, Emma & Noah, Clarence & Jeff, Timmy & Chloe, Raven & Starfire, Sanjay & Craig, and, Stan & Steve were on board at the first flight. While the remaining teams, Charlie & Viola, Eleanor & Theodore, Leslie & Penny, and, Linda & Lawrence carries the second flight, which will be arriving 90 minutes later than the first flight."

"When they land after two hours, teams will have to travel by taxis to the modernized Halifax Central Library, where they will find their next clue."


9:51PM - Halifax Stanfield International Airport – Halifax, NS

The first plane arrived at Halifax as the first batch of teams exited the plane quickly to find the cab station. For the teams of Kevin & Sami, and Emma & Noah, they had the clear advantage off to their hands as those aforementioned teams lead the way to the waiting site.

The former team noticed that many teams were tailing them from behind.

"Damn it! How did these guys got followed us that fast?!" Kevin asked Sami in disbelief.

"Well… let's just say there's another team that's also Canadian." Sami responded quickly.

They both glance to their opposite side as they saw the couple, who also running towards the exit. As for the couple, they were sharing glances and glares to the wrestlers.


Kevin & Sami (Confessional)

"Of course, of course!" Sami clicked his tongue cockily. "There has to be a team that always and will always trying to beat us out."

"Nothing but a bunch of candy-asses that needs a lesson to teach," Kevin added.


Emma & Noah (Confessional)

"I was right about them taking on the first flight." Noah exulted at his prediction about the other Canadian team. "And also, if my calculations are on point, that team will be our top priority at this race."

"Or in simple terms, they're ganging us up and we don't want to get vanquish to those guys! We will fight!" Emma commented in a fighting spirit.


"Taxi!" Most of the racers hollered the said vehicles as every team obtained and entered one.

Stan & Steve – Father/Son

"To the Central Library! Now!" Stan ordered. "Or we'll take this cab to the limit!"

"Dad! Don't scare him like that!" Steve interrupted the whole nonsensical ordeal. "Just go ahead to the library, sir! He's just acting a lunatic again." He nervously chuckled.

Sanjay & Craig – Adoptive Brothers

"To the Central Library, please? Thank you." Sanjay shared the info to the driver as he drove out of the airport. "Alright, way to go! We have a great driver! Yeah!"

Sanjay expects Craig to reply too but was met with silence. When he glances over to his right, he gasped in horror when he saw Craig.

"CRAIG! Are you okay?!"


Sanjay & Craig (Confessional)

"I always forgot about the moment that Craig really hated cold weather?" Sanjay said to the camera. "I know that we know the dangers of the competition but we have no choice but to fight it out."

"Yeah… we… will…" Craig managed to say words while in the midst of his frostbite trouble as he was trembling violently.

Sanjay stood up and raise a fist in the air with passion. "Don't worry, Craig! We will try to get out of the leg, really fast!"


While the other teams are currently racing for first as The Wrestlers, The Dating Couple, and The Neighbors are overtaking one another.

Timmy & Chloe – Neighbors

"Come on! Pass them over!" Timmy saw a reflection of the other taxi of interest, he saw The Wrestlers on the back.

"We're getting them now!" Chloe said with confidence.

Kevin & Sami – Wrestling Teammates

Sami looked over at the mirror at the back of the taxi where he saw another cab trailing them.

"Looks like we have a racing competition!" Sami announced and glanced at Kevin. "Come on, negotiate with the man."

Kevin sighed. "Monsieur, pouvez-vous le rendre plus rapide? (Sir, can you make it faster?)"

"Oui, je suis sur qu'il. (Yes, I'm on it.)" The driver replied at his own language.

Their cab picks up a new speed and overtakes another taxi that contains another team and that team is not backing out in a taxi speed contest.

Emma & Noah – Dating Reality TV Pros

"Those guys wouldn't just concede on us, eh?" Emma said.

"Figures. Since we know they're also Canadians. And you know what Canadians are made up?" Noah asked Emma.

"They're made up of what?"

"A typical Canadian is polite, hard-working, law-abiding, classless, unpretentious, generous, friendly, independent, liberal, cheerful, a good skier, proud, compassionate, an—"

"Okay, okay!" Emma had enough of Noah's game of enumeration. "I get it, we're gifted."

"Now you get it!" Noah added. "You're one hella gifted girl too!" He winked, bobbed his eyebrow, and smirked.

Emma only rolled her eyes at the cheesy line that Noah created.


Emma & Noah (Confessional)

"You know Noah's the smartest here, but you can't get the fact that he really sucks at playing pick-ups," Emma confessed and suddenly turns around to hide her flushed face.


Entrance – Halifax Central Library

After a few minutes of competition around taxis, the teams arrived at their first point, in which they met with a piece of disappointing news as Timmy reads it.

"Operating hours, 9am to 9pm." Timmy announced. "Dang it!"

"We're an hour ahead of the closing time, great scheduling, Halifax Central Library." Noah sneered.

"So are we going to sleep… outside?!" Chloe reacted in surprise.

"Pretty obvious," Emma answered instantly.

While Kevin & Sami were on a few feet away from the others as they discussed on their plans about sleeping for the night.

"We can't just sleep there like we're some crippling kids out there!" Kevin whispered loudly.

"I know, I know. We just need to find a cozy place to sleep… like a hotel nearby?" Sami recommends.

"But our cash for the race is tight, dude. We need to find a blind spot where nobody can see us!"

"Alright, alright. But first, we need a coffee break!"

Kevin sighed at the lame suggestion of his best friend. "Fine, fine, whatever."

Kevin & Sami sticks over to their plan and went off to a nearby coffee shop. While the other teams soon arrived at the library, meeting with the same news and the other teams at the same time.

"It's closed?! Nooo…" Clarence knelt down in defeat.

"Sheesh. He's definitely taking acting classes." Starfire speculated.

"Okay, this is the time that I really wanted to relax…" Raven said. "…in the dark!"

While the others are looked concerned over Craig's condition.

"Do you need our help?" Chloe asked Sanjay, who got overwhelmed by the sudden assembly of the other teams.

"Uhh…" Sanjay shaking and stammering at his words.

"Dude." Noah patted Sanjay's shoulder. "You know that your friend over there—"

"Brother." Sanjay clarified.

"Brother, sorry." Noah coughed and continued. "You know that your brother over there needed some help."

"Yeah! He looks like he's trapped in ice." Emma describes Craig's current cold situation as the latter continuously shudders.

"How about this? We will build an alliance for us, three teams." Noah suggested.

"Make it four!" Jeff elaborated loudly as he was also listening to them.

"Alright, we'll make it four. We're gonna help you both, especially to your partner. Is that okay for you?"

"Sure, sure… not a problem. He just needs a warm place to stay and to sleep."

Suddenly, Chloe lightened up and jumped. "I have a perfect idea!"

She opened up her backpack to reveal his camping materials. She picked up a pack of marshmallows, blankets, and rocks and logs. In which, most of them were weirded out of how Chloe was prepared for this situation.

"You know that I'm a part of girl scout! So I'll take the privilege of making this a camping night!" She declared.

"Oh, well. Works for me, it's kinda cold right now." Timmy embraced himself as he was also shivering at the low temperature.

"Okay, okay. Time to build up for some camping grounds!" Chloe announced.


Timmy & Chloe (Confessional)

"So, I basically tell them that I was a girl scout back at town. I always had the natural instinct of helping people, wherever their pain is located. I was glad at taking care of the situation of Sanjay's partner... by making a small campfire to our allies!" Chloe stated.

"You know that alliances won't last long enough than you'd think, right?" Timmy asked.

"I don't know! But still I'm happy with our current position with the other teams, they're smart and kind!"


After spending 10 minutes of building up a mini camping site, they arranged themselves in a circle as they immediately sat down or laid back around the campfire, in front of the closed library.

"Ahhh! This feels so good." Craig moaning with pleasure due to the warmth of his position. "Thanks, guys!"

"No problem!" Chloe nodded in understanding.

"This place is so warm! I like it!" Clarence exclaimed.

"I like it too." Jeff agrees to Clarence. "Because fire destroys the germs over the floor and to our blanket!"

"You know what? I kinda like this camping between us." Emma admitted. "Everyone's having a good time!"

"Yeah. That's what are friends for, right?" Noah then asked the others.

"YEAH!" All of them shouted simultaneously.


Emma & Noah (Confessional)

"Remember the times when I was Noah… Noah the cynical, sarcastic, and pessimistic guy, a few years back?" Noah asked himself. "I'm still surprised that I've changed my whole attitude and personality because of one thing… and that is… somewhere beyond my vision." He secretly sends a message to Emma, in which she hides her blushed cheeks again from her boyfriend.


"Good night, guys!" Noah greeted them goodbye.

"Good night!" Some of the competitors greeted back.

"Good night, sweet cheeks." Noah then greets Emma.

"Good night too, hunky boy." Emma gave a light peck on Noah's forehead, making him smile in the process.

The newly-formed alliance participants were all now fell asleep at their blankets. While the excluded teams are also on their way to Dream Street, taking a bus to the said destination, sans Kevin & Sami, who are still on the coffee shop, talking and drinking joes.

While the second flight will be arriving at any moment, getting the same report as the first batch.


A/N: There you go! Some teams constructed an alliance and that's going to be interesting, not gonna lie.

While they were scenes from the night that has been cut out due to the time allotment for a segment, those clips will be posted in the bonus scenes after a leg is completely finished. So stay tuned!

Anyways, what are your thoughts about this chapter?

Their first challenge and the next part will be posted in a few days! And I'll see you soon!

R&R!
