Episode 1, Part 2 – "We're Going Home Country" – Sami


INTRO

The intro started the usual way but the intro that was used was from the Season 30 of the series. A plane was seen taking off from the runway followed by the random montage of places that the racers will be visiting in the future.

KEVIN & SAMI

The pale Canadian man from the left was gesturing his left hand to punch the right palm in a serious face. The other guy from the right only crossed his arms, also in a serious mood.

CHARLIE & VIOLA

Both creatures were leaning on each other and hit their elbows with each other.

SANJAY & CRAIG

Both guys were hi-fiving with each other while the other one was using his head as a hand. The larger one was using his partner's head to lean over his shoulder to pose, despite the chagrin of his small partner.

TIMMY & CHLOE

Both of them shared their fist as they gave it a light bump with one another.

ELEANOR & THEODORE

The girl chipmunk carried her counterpart as the latter poses to the camera and shares their smiles in front of it.

LESLIE & PENNY

Both vegetative competitors were bumping their hips and postures cheerily into the camera.

RAVEN & STARFIRE

Starfire slung her shoulder over Raven's back as they showed their peace gestures.

CLARENCE & JEFF

They shared a hi-five and froze when they bumped their fists and showed their competitive smirk in front of the camera.

EMMA & NOAH

The couple shared a deep, quick kiss and showed their cutthroat smiles while both were holding the shoulders and the sides respectively.

STAN & STEVE

Their fists collided with each other and quickly looked up and saluted from above.

LINDA & LAWRENCE

The married parents hold their hands and shared an instant kiss as they looked up to the camera.

Another batch of miscellaneous things was caught in the fast-paced montage as the intro took its final destination.

THE AMAZING RACE

The intro ended abruptly when the black screen background appeared on the screen.


8:59AM – Halifax Central Library

The sun rises from above and it was the time for the racers to get prepared for their first challenge as they waited patiently for the door to open.

As soon as 9:00AM exactly hits the place, the door opened immediately as a wave of people entered the premises of the newly-build library. They went to the clue box which is nearby from the library door. The teams took each turns to grasp their clue as they opened it one by one.

Kevin & Sami – currently in 1st Place

"Grab the paper…" Sami reads the first three sentences.

Timmy & Chloe – currently in 2nd Place

"…and the pen…" Chloe followed.

Emma & Noah – currently in 3rd Place

"…and count the number of black…" Emma added.

Sanjay & Craig – currently in 4th Place

Then Sanjay. "…and white images hanging on the wall…"

Clarence & Jeff – currently in 5th Place

Also, Sami. "If you guessed the correct number…"

Stan & Steve – currently in 6th Place

"…proceed to the fifth level of the library…" Steve continued.

Raven & Starfire – currently in 7th Place

"…to check your answer…" Starfire carried on reading.

Eleanor & Theodore – currently in 8th Place

"…if you got the answer right, the librarian…" Eleanor picks up.

Leslie & Penny – currently in 9th Place

"…will give you the next clue…" Penny extends the streak.

Charlie & Viola – currently in 10th Place

"If you got it wrong…" Charlie kept the pace going.

Linda & Lawrence – currently in Last Place

"…go back and count them all again." Lawrence ended the reading streak.

"Teams will have to work together to count the grayscale smartphone images hanging on the wall between these other colorful images that consists of 5,000 in total." Phil narrated as he was looking over to the image-filled wall.

"If they think they got the right answer, they must go up at the 5th level and find the head librarian. If they got the exact answer of 134, she'll hand over their next clue. If they got it wrong, they will have to go back down and recount them all over."

"Alright, let's do this!" Lawrence exclaimed with confidence.

The teams gathered up to the assembly point where they met with bewilderment when they discovered that they were thousands of small images of different artworks; colorless or colorful, they are everywhere, posted at the yellow wall.


Linda & Lawrence (Confessional)

"When we looked up over to the wall… I just became widely surprised." Linda said. "Counting is necessary on this challenge but you need to get your eyes and brains ready."

"I was like holy hell! That's how Dracula said when he met sunshine." Lawrence added, which made Linda chuckled.


Most of the teams gathered up and started counting, while the newly-formed alliance assembled in a circular base and discussed the strategies. Every individual involved were hunching and listened to the innovators of the union attentively.

"Okay, listen up." Noah began. "I need all of you to take count every two columns of the black and white images. Just bring up to us so that we'll add it overall and go get the next clue. Got it?"

"Uhhh… can I count those while Clarence writes the number?" Jeff asked.

"Sure… why do you take charge by the way?" Emma curiously interrogates Jeff.

"Because he needs to stay away from germs." Clarence took the answer as Jeff nodded.

"I hate holding things! They could've killed me!" Jeff exclaimed in horror.

While Sanjay suddenly raised his hand where all of them glances over to the guy.

"Craig can't count properly because he had a bad case of frostbite."

"Hmmm…" Noah hummed and tapped his chin for a few seconds as he shrugged afterward. "Sure…"

"But I can do… counting…" Craig interrupts them as he coughed violently under his heavy warm attire. "I could count a… column… that's what I can help with you…"

"Alright, bud. I'll accept your offer." Sanjay responded with glee.

"Okay, no time to waste, start counting!" Emma commanded.

As soon as she said that, they scattered for a few meters and started counting. While some teams just randomly guessed the answer.

Raven & Starfire - Partners-in-Crime

"It's 132." Starfire assumed.

"Are you sure?" Raven asked.

"I don't know actually. Let's give it a try."

Raven nodded and ran over to the elevator to lift up to the specific level. While the others are battling out on which number will they put first.

Stan & Steve – Father/Son

"It's 135! I count it all over!" Stan began gloating his guess.

"134! Do you know I'm a nerd and can count properly?" Steve retorted.

"Thanks, lame brain. But I got this over and we're sticking with 135!"

"If you're wrong, then don't expect me to receive the apology already." Steve avoids Stan's presence by turning back.

"Come on, let's go!" Stan invites his son over and somehow accepts it.

Unfortunately, the elevator was closed because it was used by another team.

"Dang it, we'll take the stairs instead!" Stan commanded patriotically as Steve reacted with a sigh annoyingly and followed suit.

While they left, an individual was eavesdropping to their conversation the whole time and proceeds to meet his partner as he poked that person.

Timmy & Chloe – Neighbors

"Ahhh! Timmy, don't surprise me like that!" Chloe cried when Timmy poked her.

"I know the number." Timmy simply replied.

"Uhh… how do you get the answer already?"

"Simple. I just heard what the dad and his son just argued about." Timmy jerked his thumb behind.

"Timmy… just don't interrupt my counting. I'm at 65! And I don't know where did I stop!" Chloe grabbed her hair groaning stressfully.

Timmy only frowned.


Timmy & Chloe (Confessional)

"This is way too weird and irritating at the same time." Timmy began. "Chloe accepted my tip when we're at the starting line, while at the library, she simply rejected it. I know what I'm doing to keep us on the top!" He groaned in the end.


5th Floor – Halifax Central Library

Raven & Starfire arrived and went out of the elevator to check their guess at the head librarian, who was waiting patiently for the teams on her desk.

"Hey, madam!" Starfire greeted as she gave the paper to the librarian.

The latter quickly gave it a thumbs down, rejecting their answer respectfully.

"Oh… come on!"

They went back to the elevator with ease while a team made their way to the librarian. Stan offered the paper to the lady as she checks out properly.

"It ain't gonna be right, dad!" Steve continued their quarrel with his dad.

"It is!" Stan replied.

"No, it's not correct." The librarian gave her verdict.

"Damn it!" Stan exclaimed.

"Told you so," Steve smirked.


Ground Floor – Halifax Central Library

Kevin & Sami – Wrestling Teammates

"Do we have a guess?" Sami asked.

"Let's see… I got 134, but my mind says differently. Why won't we peek and sneak at the others?" Kevin replied.

"I mean, you could go to your answer but I guess peeking ain't cheating, right?"

"You could've eavesdrop then, do it now!" Kevin ordered.

"I gotcha, Kev." Sami saluted, a sign of approval.

While Sami finds a clueless victim to get to, the newly formed alliance gathered up once again to give updates on their doings.

"So… anyone got their numbers?" Noah asked.

"I got 11," Jeff answered first.

"We got 19!" Sanjay followed.

"Uhhh… we got 32." Emma added.

"134," Timmy said.

"Are you sure it's 134?" Noah asked skeptically.

"He said he heard it on the other team," Chloe explained the answer that Timmy gathered.

"Well, maybe he's right. Let's take the papers and write it down!" Emma ordered as they grabbed one each and wrote it down.

During their assembly, Sami peeked over their backs without hissing nor touching them as he rushed to Kevin to give the tip.

"Whatcha got?" Kevin asked.

"Yeah, it is 134," Sami answered.

"Ah, I've should've known," Kevin replied sarcastically.

"Come on, before we—"

Sami got interrupted by a horde of teams who entered the elevator, but somehow due to the weight limit of the elevator, they can't enter the mechanism. So they went to the stairs instead.

Stan & Steve – Father/Son

"There. Now let's go upstairs!" Stan commanded.

"I know what we're doing. Sheesh." Steve hissed at his dad's order.

While the other teams are currently experiencing difficulties in counting the images.

Eleanor & Theodore – Best Friends

"Ah! I've lost count!" Theodore cried.

"Aww, Theo. Come on, why don't we count it together?" Eleanor offered help to her partner, in which, he gladly accepted.

Leslie & Penny – Cousins

"Aww, drats! It's so hard to count at this distance." Leslie complained.

"You can't see clearly?" Penny asked in concern. "Then use glasses."


Leslie & Penny (Confessional)

"When in doubt and trouble, use glasses." Penny simply said as she gave the eyewear to her cousin.

"Ah… I missed using this." Leslie puts on the glasses and shared her different poses to the camera despite much to Leslie's annoyance.


Linda & Lawrence – Married Parents

"113… 114…" Linda counts the images in a mumbling tone, while Lawrence counts it silently.

Charlie & Viola – Sisters

"Okay… I got 55. You have a guess so that we can combine it?" Charlie asked Viola, who was still counting silently. Charlie shrugged as she waits for her partner to end her counting.

Raven & Starfire – Partners-in-Crime

"Raven? Do you even count?" Starfire asked.

"I am counting… in my mind." Raven hushed.

"Oh… okay…"


5th Floor – Halifax Central Library

Both teams from the elevator and the stairs both arrived respectively as they battle it out on who will check out with the librarian first. Some of them almost tripped over, due to the fact that it was a battle of speed. The Neighbors luckily acquired the first position on queue, followed by others.

"Whew. We got lucky." Chloe wiped her sweat in her forehead as she gave the answer to the librarian, who gave a quick approval. "YES!"

"I told you all," Timmy said as he looked back to his allies.

Timmy & Chloe – currently in 1st Place

"It's a Roadblock! Who has an eagle eye?" Chloe reads the question first.

"At this Roadblock, one team member will have to soar up high by climbing the 300 feet support of the Angus L. Macdonald Bridge. When they arrived at the top, they must use the binoculars, provided by the show, to scan the city and find a route marker flag hanging on one of the well-known places at Halifax."

"I can be the eagle." Chloe volunteered as she chuckled and reads the first Roadblock challenge silently. "Okay, let's go!"

Stan & Steve – currently in 2nd Place

"Thank you so much!" Stan opens the clue and reads it. "Who has an eagle eye? Of course, it's not me, it's Steve!"

"Fine, I'll do it!" Steve annoyingly snatches the clue to read the instructions.

Sanjay & Craig – currently in 3rd Place

"Okay, I think I'll perform this one for you." Sanjay obviously chose himself to be the challenger of the Roadblock as he reads the details.

"Good," Craig said as he violently coughed.

"Alright, we're out!"

Clarence & Jeff – currently in 4th Place

"Who has an eagle eye?" Clarence reads the question. "I don't have that kind of eye. You'll do it, Jeff!"

"Ahhh! Fine, I'll do it. I just need my sanitizer on my pocket." Jeff groaned in defeat.


Clarence & Jeff (Confessional)

"Jeff hates germs so much that sometimes he becomes angry," Clarence admitted.

"I HATE GERMS!" Jeff hollered as he stood up and walked out in horror, continuing the cry.

"Gee, it would be fun to take activities!" Clarence shouted from the distance.


Kevin & Sami – currently in 5th Place

"Roadblock. Who has an eagle eye?" Kevin reads the clue.

"I'll take this one for sure." Sami picks up the clue from Kevin as he began reading.

"You could've just read that in the taxi," Kevin suggested.

"Oh, I forgot about that."

Both of them were running towards the stairs but somehow Sami bumped Emma from out of nowhere, making the latter almost fell but was caught by Noah instantly.

"Oops, sorry." Sami apologized without looking to them.

"Are you alright?" Noah asked.

"Noah, I'm fine," Emma answered immediately. "Just read the clue and don't go crashing down on them."

"Ugh, yeah, but I'm keeping an eye of them."

Emma & Noah (Confessional)

"Those guys can't mess with us! If they want to keep this way of interaction, then I'll give them the interaction that they wanted!" Noah sends a message to his fellow Canadian team.

"Uhh, chill, Noah. We're on the first leg, we're taking it easy." Emma attempts to regain Noah's normal state.

"Yeah, fine." Noah sighed in defeat. "But I'm watching them."

Emma & Noah – currently in 6th Place

"Ah, I got this." Emma volunteered.

"Really? I put your trust in this." Noah said with concern over his voice.

"Don't worry…" Emma suddenly embraces Noah and took him into the smooch street for a while until they regained composure.

"Alright, I trust you. Come on, we're caught in the middle!"

They left the fifth floor via downstairs.


Ground Floor – Halifax Central Library

The remaining teams are now currently struggling on counting the images throughout the wall. Some teams don't have the time to count it overall as they decided to team up with each other.

Leslie & Penny – Cousins

"Hey, guys." Penny greeted a team that was beside them. "We need your help."

Eleanor & Theodore – Best Friends

"Hey there too!" Eleanor greeted back with a wave. "Yeah, I think we need to come up with something."

"DONE!"

Both aforementioned teams glance back to see that Raven & Starfire possibly obtain their answer as they entered the elevator.

"Uh-oh! We better plan our or else, we'll be the last teams here!" Eleanor exclaimed in an alarming tone.

"Let's do this!" Theodore cried.


Eleanor & Theodore (Confessional)

"So yeah… we're gonna have a bad time if we didn't team up with another. So we decided to do the game of teamwork!" Eleanor said.

"Just like we do at soccer!" Theodore added, stood up to add theatrics.

Eleanor chuckled at her partner's cheery mood. "He's right."


They began counting intently as they try to knock off any distractions that could cost them the counting or the race, overall.


Leslie & Penny (Confessional)

"Good thing we did the right thing, isn't it?" Penny asked Leslie, who nodded quietly.

"Plus, we can guarantee safety if we work with someone," Leslie commented.


5th Floor – Halifax Central Library

Raven & Starfire submit their answer to the librarian, who gave it a thumbs up as she offered the next clue to the team.

"Thanks!" Starfire received their next clue as she opens it quickly.

Raven & Starfire – currently in 7th Place

"Roadblock. Who has an eagle eye? I'll do this!" Starfire volunteered solely.

"I guess I'll do the next one," Raven said.

"Yeah… come on!"


Angus L. Macdonald Bridge

A team arrived at the bridge as they left their taxi and told the driver to wait for them.

"Okay." The driver answered.

"Thanks!" Chloe nodded.

"Let's go, Chloe! Climb it up!" Timmy requested impatiently.


Timmy & Chloe (Confessional)

"I know, I know that I'm excited to do this because I can sight the beauty of the city, but Timmy really doesn't care about it," Chloe said.

"We're in a race, not in a travel show!" Timmy answered furiously.

"Don't tell me that! I'm just going to do my job of exploring things."

"Well, have your way. If we didn't win those express passes then, then… I'll never ever talk to you again!" Timmy hollered.

Chloe got caught in surprise when Timmy said the final words.


Chloe was now all set as she has her safety helmet on as she prepares for the big climb.

She cannot control her excitement as she chuckled. "This is gonna be good!"

"Just climb that thing already!" Timmy cried.

"Okay, okay!" She waved her off as she began taking steps to the ladder carefully. "I thought it's wide in here!"

"Less talking, more climbing!"


Ground Floor – Halifax Central Library

The current duo team was calculating their estimation on the images.

"Okay, so what do we have here… 134?" Leslie asked unsurely.

"Yeah, I think that's what it is." Eleanor shrugged unassertively.

"Come on, let's write it down!" Penny suggested.

They both write down their similar guesses to their papers. While at the same time, Linda & Lawrence finished counting.

"134… who could've thought we finished it?" Linda asked Lawrence.

"Oh, yeah. But let's keep it chill." Lawrence chuckled.

The double team of Eleanor & Theodore and Leslie & Penny got on the elevator, unlucky for the parents. They instinctively tried the stairs to proceed to the librarian.

While Charlie & Viola were left behind at the first floor as they keep counting the images on their heads.

"Okay… we got 134… are we sure we that?" Charlie asked her sister.

"I counted the same. 134. So I'm sure of that." Viola answered.

"Alright, let's climb upstairs!"

"But we can't fly right now!"

"Oh, I'm saying that figuratively, not literally."

"Aw, dang!" Viola chuckled at the quip of her sister. "Come on! Take the stairs!"


5th Floor – Halifax Central Library

Leslie & Penny – currently in 8th Place

"Thank you so much!" Leslie picked up their clue from the librarian as she opens it. "Who has an eagle eye?"

"I think I have one." Penny presented herself as the challenger.

"Okay, then you'll do it."

Eleanor & Theodore – currently in 9th Place

"I can do the Roadblock, Theo. Don't worry." Eleanor elected herself to do the Roadblock.

"Oh, okay," Theodore said.

"And thank goodness you don't have to do this, Theo."

"Because?"

"I'm going to climb to the top!"

"Oh, good thing." Theodore sheepishly chuckled.

"Come on, let's get out of here!"

While the parents arrived at the fifth floor and showed their answer to the librarian.

"Correct." The librarian gave out their next clue.

"Thank you so much." Linda bowed down to show respect to the librarian.

Linda & Lawrence – currently in 10th Place

"Who has an eagle eye?" Lawrence reads the question.

"I believe that you're going to perform that," Linda answered.

"Bloody, bloody, I will take it!"

The last team arrived passing by the parents, they submitted their answer to the librarian, who showed the clue to them.

Charlie & Viola – currently in Last Place

"I have one!" Charlie volunteered as she reads the challenge. "Oh yeah! Bingo!"

"Okay, come on! We can catch up!" Viola invites her sister to leave the library for good.


Angus L. Macdonald Bridge

The camera sighted Steve took up climbing going to the top.

Stan & Steve – currently in 2nd Place

"Let's go, son. Better keep your head tucked or the eagle's gonna sucked." Stan sends a message to his son.

"I know, Dad! I'm not going to be sucked up by a big American pride bird!" Steve replied while climbing.

While Chloe arrived at the top as she grabs a binocular to start searching.

"Oh God, what a great place!"


Timmy & Chloe (Confessional)

"Ah, great to see some other places that I didn't put in my bucket list. It was beauty and bold." Chloe confessed.


"There's a white flag over there… too obvious not to be a race flag…" Chloe trailed off when she saw another flag, a white and red flag. "Is that the flag that we were looking? I think it is! Better get off first!"

"Teams must figure out that the red and white route marker is located at the Halifax Citadel Hill where their next clue awaits."

While Sanjay and Jeff took their challenge right away and climbed up. As per Chloe, she arrived at the other side of the bridge where he met Timmy to share the tip.

Timmy & Chloe – currently in 1st Place

"Did you find it?" Timmy asked.

"Yeah, let's go inside."

They entered their taxi and Chloe already spew out the deal.

"Uhhh… you know a place where a flag is… and some cannons… and a building?"

"Ah, it's the Citadel Hill." The driver answered knowledgeably.

"Okay… we're cool, Timmy. He knows the place."

"Alright."


More teams arrived as they wear their safety gears properly and began ascending to the top. At the top of the bridge, Sanjay and Jeff arrived simultaneously, where the former grabs the latter's hands to avoid a mishap to happen. Jeff suddenly waves Sanjay off and sprays his hands with sanitizer from his pocket.

"Ah, don't come to me! You piece of germ!" Jeff cried.

Sanjay weirded out at this predicament.


Sanjay & Craig (Confessional)

"I don't get how Jeff is afraid of everything after I helped him climbing out of that narrow path," Sanjay said. "That guy has something."


"I think I found one over there." Steve cautiously announced it on the camera. "That looks like a fortress or something dad would know."

Stan & Steve - currently in 2nd Place

Steve quickly left and began descending down to the bottom. While the camera caught Sami's adventure in the narrow path of the support.

"Oh, my god! This thing's so… tight… and… small!"


Kevin & Sami (Confessional)

"I couldn't believe I have to do that Roadblock! I'm not claustrophobic but the place's too narrow! I can't even normally breathe when I take steps." Sami admitted.

"I would love to do the challenge but seems that my body won't suit up inside." Kevin showed a bit of sympathy for his best friend.


"Almost there…" Sami huffed as he took another step.

While both Jeff and Sanjay kept exploring the city as they have no clue on the whereabouts on the route marker flag.

"Oh my god… where's that flag?" Jeff shrieking in horror, still holding the binoculars safely.

"Where's that flag? Where's that flag?" Sanjay chanted as he kept his eyes wide open to look for any interesting flag.

Another team showed up at the bridge, in the form of Emma & Noah, where the former prepares for her challenge. But first, Emma quickly pecked Noah's lip to ensure everything's alright for Noah.

"Good luck!" Noah wooed from out of nowhere.

Sami successfully made his way from the top. He wiped his sweat on his forehead and picked up a binocular to start searching. In the other side, Sanjay somehow stopped exploring when he saw an object of his interest.

"I think that's the one over there." He aimed to the flag with his index. "I think my work here's done. I'm coming, Craig!"

Sanjay & Craig – currently in 3rd Place

Clarence & Jeff – currently in 4th Place

"Hey, that place is like a headquarters, and it's nearby the sea. I think I got my answer." Jeff also found and followed Sanjay.


Sackville Street – Halifax Citadel Hill

Timmy & Chloe arrived at the place first where they entered the premises and seemed to be amazed by the structures and the exhibit of the place.

"Crazy place, cannons everywhere!" Timmy exclaimed.

"There's the clue right there!" Chloe noticed the clue box a few steps away from a building.

"Good job, Chloe." Timmy somehow impressed by Chloe's skills.

"Thanks!"


Timmy & Chloe (Confessional)

"Okay, okay, I'll admit…" Timmy began confessing. "…Chloe's fine. And I'm not talking about a modern fine but she's alright, she has the skills and the knowledge!"

Chloe obviously flattered by the compliment that she received from Timmy. But somehow, Chloe shows a pinch of pinkish blush on her cheeks.

"Thank you! You know you can rely on me at all times." Chloe replied.

"Not really, sometimes is a better word for that."

Chloe quickly frowned at that statement.


"Okay. Here we go." Chloe said as she reads the clue.

Timmy & Chloe – currently in 1st Place

"Teams can now stop by for a break and take a refreshing cup of these different flavors of these smoothies, but first, they must identify these flavors from this juice station…" Phil took a cup from the stand as he drinks it slowly and quickly focuses back to the camera. "…energizing drinks, I gotta say."

"Teams will have to make their way via walking to the Public Gardens and find a stall to take their taste buds to the test. They must take a sip from 5 different cups and they will select 5 possible flavors from a flavor list that contains 10 flavors. If they properly identify those 5 correct flavors, the seller will give them their next clue."

"Alright! Woo! Thank goodness for a drink break." Chloe felt relieved as she completely wipes out her sweat at her head. "Come on!"

"Sure, sure." Timmy sounded suspicious over his voice as he followed Chloe.


Angus L. Macdonald Bridge

"I have to see something here before the others can see," Sami said as he continues to explore the city under his binocular.

"I only see a white flag over there and I highly doubt that flag is a pseudo." Noah only seeing the said flag.

"I wonder where the hell is Sami is aiming at," Kevin said while looking up at the bridge. "Time is gold in the race, that's the motto for the competition."

"Come on, Noah!" Emma cheered over Noah, who is still on the searching grounds.

While Sanjay and Jeff arrived safely down to the land where they met with their respective partners.

"Come on, let's go!" Jeff invites Clarence to enter their taxi.

"I'll carry you out, Craig! We're almost there!" Sanjay cradles his partner, who is still in the midst of his frostbite.

"We have to go to the fort, sir! Faster!" Jeff begged to the driver to leave as fast as possible as the latter obliged the order.

"Uhhh… let's follow the other taxi!" Sanjay ordered. "Ah, geez! I already forgot what I see there! But I saw the flag, but didn't saw the whole surroundings around it."

Back at the top of the bridge support where we see Sami caught something to his interest. It was a moving flag that has multiple colors on it.

"Aha! Gotcha!" Sami cried. "It looks like a citadel itself. I could be wrong though but better to try than nothing!"

Sami finished exploring the city as he went to leave the roofless top of the bridge. While he was getting back through the narrow hole, he somehow bumped Noah without his knowledge. Because of this sudden contact, Noah cannot handle his brief suspicions against the fellow Canadian team.


Emma & Noah (Confessional)

"Okay. That's two times in a row, two times that this Sami guy just bumped us. I don't know and I don't care if it's intentional or accidental, they're giving me the trigger that I shouldn't show in the race!" Noah confessed.


"Can that guy can get over with his bumping games?" Noah continues back on searching for the route flag until he saw one in a blink of an eye. "Okay… I think I see the flag. It looks like a battleground for the former Canadian army who served on the past to keep the country, virtuous."

Sami got down from the top as he encounters Kevin.

Kevin & Sami – currently in 5th Place

"Hey Kev, you know the Citadel Hill, right?"

"I think I know that place somehow. Come on, let's get out of here!" Kevin replied as they left the bridge with their taxi.

Meanwhile, Noah arrived later on. He runs to Emma to give the tip on their next destination as they entered the taxi.

Emma & Noah – currently in 6th Place

"What's with the Groucho face?" Emma asked.

"Ugh, you know the same guy that bumped you earlier?" Noah replied.

"Oh, that skinny guy? What happened there?"

"That same guy just bumped me from an unexpected angle! I don't even know why he did that?!"

"Noah, just rest for a bit, okay? You seem to have a big grudge over him."

"I don't know, that just irritates me!"

"Alright, alright, but let's just keep your cool, you got me?" Emma asked nicely.

Noah sighed. "You know that an attitude change can take some time, right?"

"I know." Emma nodded.


Sackville Street – Halifax Citadel Hill

"Hey, there it is!" Steve aimed his index to the clue box.

"Wow! This place is stunning and magical!" Stan said while running.


Stan & Steve (Confessional)

"Ah, it's so good to see that I'm visiting and running into a fortress or a citadel, whatever you call it. That just reminds me of how I sacrificed myself from any danger that comes to us and to the country. That just tells me that we should keep going forward and don't go underestimate yourself." Stan confessed and shares his words of wisdom.

"Oh, that approaches me too, right?" Steve curiously asked.

"Uhh… not necessarily…"

Steve groaned hastily. "Of course."


Stan & Steve – currently in 2nd Place

"Alright… walk your way to Halifax Public Gardens…" Stan reads the important details deeply.

"Ooh, drinking game! Interesting!" Steve cannot handle his excitement at the upcoming challenge.

They asked first from an individual who is securing the place.

"Excuse me. Where's the direction for the Public Gardens?" Stan asked politely.

"Go straight and if you notice a jungle-like park, then you're there." The guard answered.

"Ah, thanks, sarge!" Stan saluted the guard, who salutes back. "By the way, nice mustache."

"Uh, thanks…"

"Come on, dad! Let's go already!" Steve requested impatiently, tapping his foot continuously.

"Alright, alright. Let's just take an easy jog!"

They began running straight to the road.


Halifax Public Gardens

Much to the sensible description of the place that the guard said earlier, the camera took its first peek to the jungle-like park, due to the multiple trees that are currently standing there. We also saw a team arriving there as they saw many kiosks, scattering around the garden.

Timmy & Chloe - Neighbors

"Better pick the nearest," Timmy suggested.

"Okay, over there!" Chloe ran as fast as a rabbit towards the nearest kiosk. "Let's see what flavors they got…"

Chloe squinting her eyes as she scans the 10 flavors of the product that they will be drinking.

1. Mango Pineapple

2. Mango Pineapple Açai

3. Orangeberry

4. Piña Colada

5. Pineapple Orange Strawberry

6. Strawberry

7. Strawberry Banana

8. Strawberry Kiwi

9. Superberry Açai

10. Tripleberry


"Okay, the flavor's interesting. Isn't it, Timmy?" Chloe asked as she was expecting a cynical response but that didn't happen. "Timmy?"

When she looked back, Chloe got caught off-guard when Timmy was shaking and stammering in horror.

"O-o-o-o-o…"

"Timmy, are you alright?!"

"ORANGES!" Timmy then screams in a girly tone.

"What's with the horrifying face? And what about oranges?"

"They-they-they… I HATE ORANGES!" He screamed once again, making Chloe cover her hearing senses.


Timmy & Chloe (Confessional)

"Oh, dang it! I forgot Timmy has a phobia of oranges! Also bare feet, clowns, man egg and even his dad's butt!" Chloe shared Timmy's list of phobias.

"Oranges are the worst!" Timmy exclaimed.

"Come on, Timmy! You can do this! You can survive this!" Chloe attempts to cheer Timmy up.

"No-no-no-no-no! I can't drink orange! If I drink that, I could possibly not breathe fresh air again!" Timmy declines the challenge.

"You know you survive everything but you can't do that to an innocent, speechless fruit?! Come on, Timmy! I believe in you!"

"Nah-uh!" Timmy turned back, still rejecting the offer.

"But Timmy—"

"There's no way I can do that!"

Timmy soon begins to walk out of Chloe's presence. This made Chloe concerned for him and for the Express Passes and she faces the camera.

She sighed in disappointment. "Come on, Chloe! Do something or you'll cost those Express Passes! Do something! If another team shows up, then we're in danger! What am I gonna do?!"

The camera saw Timmy cursed under his breath while he kicked a rock in the air and Chloe who seemed to be in a panicking manner. This was the perfect time to slow down the race for the meantime as it was cut into black, signifying that the show has to go for a commercial break!


A/N: We're stopping here for the meantime! The question for this chapter is:

Will Chloe find a way to convince Timmy to fight his fear of oranges?

Will the unknown dispute between Noah and Sami intensifies?

Who will be the first team to cross the pit stop and win the Double Express Passes?

You can answer that in your review as we will give the answers at the next chapter! Next chapter will be up soon! So stay tuned!

R&R!
