My comments for the reviews in the last chapter:
Platrium: Hoping this chapter will surprise you. :D
Guest: Yes! Yield with an additional 'bring-your-own-hourglass-with-you' feature. That's awesome! I would like to give it a shot on a future season. :3
Episode 5, Part 5 – "Crossed Hearts Gets to Cross First" – Lawrence
Gateshead Millennium Bridge
The teams who are currently struggling to finish the Roadblock task showed signs of frustrations over the camera as their attempts failed too many times. Also, the bridge descends and went back to its original form.
"Thank goodness, it went back." Timmy relieved. "How long has that been up?"
"Don't mind that, just start biking!" Chloe shouted. "Let's go, Timmy!"
"Ready?" The flagman asked Timmy, who nodded in response. "GO!"
Timmy – 1st Attempt
As soon as the flag raises, Timmy instantly went for the course as he cycles in the bridge at full throttle. He crossed the raising altitude of the bridge, however, his speed decreased when the bike took a sharp turn and Timmy almost fell over but he kept his balance, carrying on racing.
"He's not stopping! He's not stopping, I think?" Chloe said after seeing her partner racing across the bridge.
"Yeah, I think he might make it… somehow…" Viola added, also observing the current situation.
"I think it's a bad idea to cheer someone on this very situation," Charlie told her partner. "You should do that to me next."
Timmy finished safely as his bicycle stopped with him and made his way to the marshal to verify his record. He closed his eyes and pray for a successful run.

"One minute and eleven seconds. Congratulations!"
Timmy & Chloe – currently in 2nd Place
Timmy's eyes and mouth widened in surprise as he unconsciously receives the envelope.
"A-A-A-Ah really?!"
While the other teams waited impatiently for the pink-hat boy to arrive. As the said person showed up, he raised the envelope to Chloe, who gasped, learning that her teammate finished at his first turn. While the others shared their vexations after they got passed by the recently arriving team.
"TIMMY!" She then proceeds to hug Timmy, who was caught off-guard from the interaction.
"Okay, quit hugging and I'll open the clue!" Timmy ordered.
"Oh… right…" Chloe sheepishly releases Timmy, who rips the clue to read.
"Make your way to the Pit Stop! Angel of the North!" Timmy reads the name of the location. "The last team to arrive may be eliminated. Okay, now it's time to move!"
"Right!"
Both of them made their way back to their own vehicle and left the bridge, leaving behind the other teams.
"I cannot believe we bounce back from the game!" Timmy said, still in disbelief after what he accomplished.
"I know right?!" Chloe also shared the same sentiment.
Angel of the North
Linda & Lawrence – Married Parents
"Good thing there's GPS, sweetie," Linda told Lawrence.
"Who needs GPS? When you have me, a British man, knowing sites and traditions." Lawrence proclaimed.
"Oh, silly me…" Linda sheepishly chuckled.
"And we're here…" Lawrence announced, arriving at the gates toward the Pit Stop. "Phil's got to be here somewhere…"
They began running with their bags as they began searching for the host. Speaking of the host, he was spotted in the mat with the keeper of the statue, who saw the team approaching them.
The team stopped running as they made their way to the mat successfully while regaining their breaths.
"Good day, welcome to the Angel of the North, here in England." The keeper saluted the team with his hat raising to them.
"Thank you," Linda said.
"Good day to you as well, sir," Lawrence added.
"Oh… an Englishman?" The keeper curiously asked the patriarch.
"Yes, guaranteed as it is. The clue's on the accent." Lawrence chuckled.
"Yes, yes, you are one of us now." The keeper joked.
Lawrence only nodded in response.
"Linda and Lawrence… you are team number ONE!" Phil gladly announces them as the winners.
Linda & Lawrence – 1st Place; arrived at 7:28PM
"Oh, thank goodness!" Linda happily exclaimed and embraces Lawrence. "We did it!"
"Yeah, we just did what we did," Lawrence replied.
"And as the winners of this leg of the race, you have won a trip for two from Travelocity and you're going to… Trinidad and Tobago!" Phil announced the leg prize for the winners.
"Ah, sweet! It's one of those islands, hon." Lawrence told Linda.
"Ooh, nice."
"You'll spend three days and three nights at the Blue Waters Hotel, where you can experience an outdoor diner while watching the view of the Pacific Ocean, a cozy spa treatment. Plus, an educational tour around the downtown of both Trinidad and Tobago at your likings, which you can use after the race."
"Nice! Now that's a prize that I wanted, Phil!" Lawrence gladly accepts the prize.
"Now that you're on the top, do you feel you can continue this momentum until to the end?" Phil asks them. "Plus, teams didn't expect you guys to came out on top on the Roadblock."
"I'm not sure how to put this but… I think it's a great feeling to be in first place. But I'm sure that those kids might be looking after us with our backs exposed as the targets." Lawrence answered.
"Yeah, since we're at limited movements, I think they can easily pass us. I think we're just lucky to finish that before them." Linda added.
"So, what you are saying is that… is it okay to be passed by them?" Phil added another question.
"Exactly. As long as we're not eliminated, it's okay for them to pass us." Linda answered.
"It's that certain gist," Lawrence added. "But no one knows on who's going to the finals, even them or us, or even you."
"Understandable, once again, congratulations and I'll see you at the next leg," Phil said goodbye to them.
"Thanks again!" Lawrence reciprocated the statement by shaking hands with both Phil and the keeper, followed by Linda.
Linda & Lawrence (Confessional)
"That was a great day to end," Lawrence confessed. "It's like the normal day in England, the usual ones."
"Of course, of course, the experience helped you and us," Linda said. "We should be grateful that we're still at this stage despite being the oldest team."
"Yeah, yeah, let the kids enjoy and we should have ours too."
Both of them kissed lightly afterward.
Gateshead Millennium Bridge
Charlie – 1st Attempt
"Here comes the hardest part!" She shouted, panting from the accumulated energy that she spent. "This is so crazy!"
The bicycle went sliding down uncontrollably along with Charlie, who manages to keep her presence in check until she made it through the finish line safely. She went to the marshal to hear the verdict.
"Your time is one minute and twenty seconds. Try again."
"Aw, shucks." Charlie reacted wearily, pulling her bike back to the start. "We're almost there."
Charlie – 1st Attempt – FAILED
Steve – 8th Attempt
Steve automatically started the course with his energy and speed as he made his way to the top of the bridge at a slow but decent pace. He took a few short breaths to continue the course as he wisely controls the bicycle through the second part, crossing the finish line carefully.
"Your time is one minute and twenty-three seconds. Try again." The event marshal told Steve.
"Jesus Christ! This is hard!" Steve upsettingly walks back to the starting line with his bike.
Clarence – 4th Attempt
Just like the others, Clarence began the race with a consistent speed but when it comes to the other half, his control almost loosens with the descending route coming towards him until he made his way to the finish line. He went to the official to check his time.
"One minute and nineteen seconds." The marshal unveiled the time of the chubby kid, who groaned in response.
"So close!" Clarence exclaimed. "This next turn, I'll be finishing it!"
Angel of the North
Another team arrived at the wooden sculpture to meet with Phil and the local greeter.
"Timmy & Chloe… you are team number two!" Phil announced the said team's leg placement.
Timmy & Chloe – 2nd Place; arrived at 7:51PM
"Oh, really?! Yay! We are back again!" Chloe joyously jumped in celebration as she hugs Timmy, who looked unamused by her sudden action. His look signals her to let go of him. "Hehe, sorry."
Gateshead Millennium Bridge
Emma – 2nd Attempt
The Asian girl looked up at her environment to see if there is anything odd in her sight but found nothing as she sighed in relief.
Emma & Noah (Confessional)
"At first, I was looking at the bridge and all I can say is… wow… this is one interesting bridge to ride with a bike. But, with a little help of physics, I already got the perfect equation to end this challenge." Emma admitted with a smirk plastered on her face.
"And GO!" The flagman cried as he waves the flag as the competitor makes her way to the bridge.
She flawlessly rides her way to the midpoint of the bridge where she did not stop at the resting place and continues her journey downwards, where she hardly squeezes the handlebars of her bike and miraculously catches control of her bike as she safely stops at the finish line.
Her reaction was unbelievable; she manages to figure the physics. However, she was dubious of this was her perfect attempt at the challenge, so she makes her way to the event marshal to see if this was the one.

"Your time is one minute and five seconds! Congratulations!"
Emma & Noah – currently in 3rd Place
"Oh my God! Yes!" Emma reacted ecstatically. "Physics class has paid off so well!"
"You are a great biker." The event marshal, who was impressed by Emma's performance, said.
"Ahhh, thank you so much. That was the work of statistics that helped me." Emma was simply flattered by the praise of the event marshal. "But I gotta go now, goodbye!" She raised her hand and waved her leave to the marshal.
Meanwhile, the other teams saw Emma, who raised the envelope to everyone, much to the dismay of the other team. Noah, on the other hand, makes his way towards his girlfriend.
"Well, what do you know? The girl knows how to deal with science… and me." Noah cockily gestures himself. "What do you think? Did it help?"
"No, not at all." Emma frowned in response.
"Well… we gotta go now before they can!"
"That's what I'm trying to say right before you spoke."
"Right…" Noah grinned, which earned an eye-rolling expression from Emma as they took their leave.
Charlie & Viola – Sisters
"Uh-oh! We have got to catch up with them!" Charlie said to Viola.
"No! You have to catch up before the others can finish! Let's go! Just ride!" Viola exclaimed.
"Okay, okay, I'm just looking at my bike for any damages or whatsoever."
Viola only shook her head in disappointment.
Angel of the North
Emma & Noah – 3rd Place; arrived at 8:30PM
"You are team number three," Phil announced, gesturing the said number to the newly-arrived team.
"I guess third place isn't that shabby of a placement," Emma said.
"Glad that's over," Noah said, looking at Emma with a glare. "What? Did I even say something bad?"
"No… not at all…" She said, avoiding her look to Noah with crossed arms.
Noah only shrugged to the camera in reaction.
Gateshead Millennium Bridge
Charlie – 2nd Attempt
"You can do it!" Viola shouted, desperately cheering for her partner to finish.
Charlie ignored the cry from her sister as she currently faces her second try at the Roadblock. She breathed heavily like she is taking a long dive under the ocean.
"Are you ready?" The flagman asked the current competitor.
"Yep, I am ready." She answered with confidence.
"Then GO!"
Charlie initiates her attempt at a great speed on her bicycle as she pushes herself to the top with additional velocity. She then stopped midway to give herself a look before she can go slide down.
"Control it, just control it." She told herself as she began to descend to the dropping ramp known as the Gateshead Bridge. "AHHHHH!"
It all ended when she stopped safely right behind the finish line, in which she steered the bicycle hardly with almost falling at the said vehicle. She went to the event marshal to reveal her standings to the task.

"You got one minute and nine seconds. Congratulations." The event marshal announced Charlie's time record, unveiling the clue in front of the challenger.
Charlie & Viola – currently in 4th Place
"YES! YES! YES!" Charlie exclaimed happily, jumping in joy after knowing that she passed the challenge as she hugs the marshal. "Thank you so much!"
Charlie then proceeds to go back to her partner with excitement on her face. Meanwhile, the other teams that are still in need of defeating the Roadblock challenge are in dire danger of being met with the last two teams, or worst-case scenario, eliminated.
"Okay, son, you got to do this one successfully… all I know is that we're in the middle and I don't want that to be a reality but I guess this could be your final shot!" Stan told his son to step up to his game.
Steve nodded and digests all of it. "Okay, sure. I'm hoping it's not a desperate speech just for me to get my head up."
"Take it as a motivational speech or not," Stan said added with a shrug.
"Sure…" Steve replied unsurely as he prepares for his next attempt.
Stan & Steve (Confessional)
"Dad is a good speaker, no faults there. But I am not sure if he's being an inspiring speaker or being an attacking coach. Either way, words are beautiful if you use them right." Steve said.
Steve – 9th Attempt
"GO!" The flagman shouted, waving the flag straightforward as Steve begins his task.
"Come on, son! Pedal faster! Pedal faster!" Stan shouted from the distance.
Steve fully ignores the cheering chant of his father as he is focusing solely on the track. His quickness on his control over the bicycle was smoothly improving from the previous tries, Steve only focused on the road that he is driving to until he made it to the midpoint of the bridge.
"Just gotta hold these handles then it should be good…" He said and moves forward towards the descending slope of the bridge. "Whoa!"
With the speed gradually increasing from the moment he moved to the second part, Steve finished the course, almost falling off again from his bike. Then he proceeds to go to the event marshal to check the time of his attempt.

"Your time is one minute and ten seconds. Congratulations." The event marshal announced his time.
Stan & Steve – currently in 5th Place
"Yes!" Steve exclaimed, swinging his fist up in the air.
"Here's your clue."
Steve happily receives the clue from the marshal's grasps.
"Thank you so much!"
Steve waved his farewell to the official and made his way back to his dad and meet him.
"Oh, wow! Didn't expect that…" Stan said.
"Well, here's myself reading the clue that says we're on our way to the Pit Stop," Steve replied. "We gotta go, seriously…"
Stan shrugged in response and both men left the bridge, leaving only with Clarence & Jeff, who were still waiting for their challenge to succeed at the hands of the former.
Clarence & Jeff – Best Friends
"Okay, listen to me, Clarence." Jeff holds both of Clarence's shoulders to avoid unnecessary actions from his best friend. "They are still out there. We have to move and you have to make it this time! Or else, we are so out of the race!"
"Yeah-yeah-yeah, I know that besides we—"
"Clarence! It's a serious matter! No need to chill like a kid."
"Oh…" Clarence said, realizing the current situation. "Now I have to be serious! It's now or never!"
Clarence left to continue the task while Jeff was left unimpressed by his confidence.
Angel of the North
Charlie & Viola – 4th Place; arrived at 8:49PM
"How's the race for you both, as sisters?" Phil asked the girls.
"Oh, it's been great, but almost…" Charlie answered first. "There are hard times that we took it to a whole new level but it can't go longer."
"Besides, we're a cool team. Who could attack us with such harshness?" Viola added with a chuckle. "But I'm happy we're adventuring with each other."
"I'm very proud of it… We are…"
Viola only nodded, agreeing to her sister's statement.
A few minutes later, another team arrived at the mat to check-in to Phil.
Stan & Steve – 5th Place; arrived at 9:03PM
"Stan and Steve… you are team number five," Phil announced their current placement.
"That's still fine, that's still fine." Steve reacted, relieving that they are still in the race.
"We have to step up next time, no matter what situation it is!" Stan exclaimed, patriotically saluted no one, much to his son's chagrin.
"Oh, dad…" Steve slaps himself on the face for displaying such indirect humiliation.
Gateshead Millennium Bridge
Clarence – 5th Attempt
"I can do this, I can do this! I can do it!" Clarence shouted to no one as he is preparing for another round of bicycling. "Let's go!"
"Hey, hey, if he can do it this time, we might survive this," Jeff said to the camera. "All he has to do is to concentrate, that's all that matters right now."
"Okay, are you ready?" The flagman asked Clarence, who nodded instantly. "And… GO!"
The flag was raised high above and Clarence begins his journey across the bridge, where he simply pedaled his way towards the midpoint where he unexpectedly continues the adventure without taking a second look. He almost went out of control with the move but he immediately recovered himself by instinct.
With that, he successfully finished the task in an assumingly quick fashion, Clarence was not impressed as he went to the event marshal to check his time record.
"Hello, what's the time?" He asked nervously, begins to bite his fingernails worriedly.
"Your time is…"

"One minute and five seconds. Congratulations! Here's your clue." The event marshal revealed the time for Clarence, who was elated at his feet and embraces the marshal.
Clarence & Jeff – currently in 6th Place
"Yes! Yes! Thank you so much!" Clarence exclaimed, receiving the clue from the marshal as he bids goodbye to the marshal.
He went back to the start to meet Jeff, who was happy to see his best friend finishing the challenge as Clarence opens the clue to read the next detail.
"Make your way to the next Pit Stop… Angel of the North…" Clarence reads the clue carefully. "Oh, yes, finally! We're getting there!"
"Let's go, we have to get there fast!" Jeff replied.
Both men left the bridge with their own cars, driving their way to the Pit Stop.
Angel of the North
Clarence & Jeff – 6th Place; arrived at 9:42PM
"You're both in sixth place. How's your current placement at this stage?" Phil asked the newly-arrived team.
"It's still good for me," Clarence answered first.
"For me, it's not!" Jeff suddenly lashes out, which earned a look from his partner. "It's because we're on the back at the next leg. If this position still continues, we are so out!"
"But it's fine… we can do better next time."
"I honestly doubt that," Jeff replied with crossed arms without looking.
"Says the one who always freaks out of a piece of a virus."
Jeff gasped and turns around to glare at Clarence. "You take that back!"
"What? Can't handle dirty things?"
"Clarence!"
Meanwhile, Phil and the greeter looked at each other in interest at this confrontation.
Gateshead Millennium Bridge
A team was spotted arriving at the bridge as the night continues to outgrow Newcastle.
"It's already at night, isn't it safe?" One asked the other.
"I don't know about that but let's give it a try.
The blonde individual picked up a clue from the box and opens it to read.
Eleanor & Theodore – currently in 7th Place
"Roadblock. Who always lean on to themselves?" Eleanor reads the question. "It's night, so, obviously, I'm the one who will do this."
"Okay, okay. Good luck." Theodore simply sends his regards before Eleanor left for the challenge.
As Eleanor makes his way to the course, the flagman made his way to the blonde chipmunk.
"Excuse me, miss. I have an announcement to give to you… Since it's ten in the evening and the weather conditions complicate the environment of the challenge, you can only have one attempt and if you did not beat the time, you'll get a 4-hour penalty."
Eleanor could not digest the sudden announcement as she was in shock of hearing it.
Eleanor & Theodore (Confessional)
"That… actually caught me off-guard," Eleanor admitted. "I wish we would have gotten sooner but yeah, things happen to us for a reason…"
"Are you ready?" The flagman asked Eleanor, who immediately nods in response. "Okay, good luck! GO!"
Eleanor begins to move her bicycle with speed as she traverses across the bridge.
"Let's go, Eleanor! Let's go! You can do it!" Theodore cheered with high spirits despite the current state.
Eleanor & Theodore (Confessional)
"I gotta do what I gotta do – just cheer her until she could make it until the end," Theodore said. "I am all in for whatever is coming to us."
After what it seemed like eternity, Eleanor made her way to the finish line as she sighs in relief and at the same time, fears for the worst. But for some unknown reason, the event marshal did not unveil her time as she proceeds on giving the clue to Eleanor.
Eleanor & Theodore – currently in 7th Place
"Here's your clue." The event marshal said.
"Thank you." Eleanor simply replied as she quickly runs back towards Theodore.
"Did you get it?" Theodore asked.
"Come on, we gotta go." Eleanor disregarded the question as Theodore forces himself to come along with her back in their car.
A few minutes later, the last team showed up as one of them picks up the clue.
Kevin & Sami – currently in Last Place
"It's a Roadblock. Guess I have no choice but to do it if we could move faster." Sami volunteered himself to take the task while Kevin simply gave him a new look. "I believe you've misunderstood my statement."
He then proceeds to pick up the bicycle. "We're last, can't believe we're in a place like this."
Before he can go driving with his bike, the flagman told the pale Canadian the same reminder as Eleanor earlier, in which he understands and prepares for his one and only shot.
"Fair point, understandable," Sami said.
The flagman waved his flag, signaling the last competitor to move as fast as he can.
"I'm not sure about this one. We could be at the Pit Stop last, or maybe, second to the last. This race sure is crazy when you think a lot of possibilities. Your brain works properly then you get this urge of wanting to go further." Kevin said to the camera. "Let's just hope Sami finish this quickly."
"Come on, let's go, bike!" Sami cried to his moving companion while on his way towards the finish. "God, this cold place really puts me off."
Despite the coldness, Sami finished the job as he made his way to the event official. However, the same case of Eleanor also occurred to Sami, he only received the clue.
Kevin & Sami – currently in Last Place
"Thanks." Sami simply said as he went off with his partner. "Hey, Kevin, come on."
Both went back inside of their car as they left the bridge.
"We're not out until Phil said so," Sami said. "That's what I'm feeling right now."
"Sure, I'll take your word for it." The only response from Kevin, who was currently driving. "We are on our way."
Angel of the North
A team soon approached the mat where they shared their assumingly final smiles before getting judged and getting eliminated. While Phil only looks upon them with a serious stern look.
"Bad day?" Phil asked them.
"Obviously, yes. We just arrived in the middle of the night." One of them answered with a bob of its head.
"But before I can announce your current standing…" Phil paused as he looked to his left as he was looking for someone. "Eleanor and Theodore, you may come out here now."
The last team, Kevin and Sami, also looked in the direction of Phil's sight as they spotted the chipmunks making their way to the mat, both plastered with unreadable facial expression.
"Okay…" Theodore muttered.
"Eleanor and Theodore, Kevin and Sami, you are the seventh and the last team to arrive respectively…"
All of them nodded in understanding but the suspense of this situation continues to escalate.
"However…"

"One of you did not beat the time from the Roadblock challenge…" Phil continued and his gaze switches back and forth between four individuals. "Which team should I tell the news?"
"We sh—" Was only Theodore only uttered until Kevin interrupts the chipmunk.
"No, you have got to tell us first since we are in last place," Kevin responded dryly.
"Yeah, it's for the better," Sami added.
"Okay…" Phil paused again. "Kevin and Sami…"
Both Canadians waited for the verdict to come upon their faces.

"I am pleased to tell you that you are still in the race, which means that you are team number seven," Phil announced.
Kevin & Sami – 7th Place; arrived at 10:30PM
Some of them gasped and some opened their eyes widely in surprise as they heard the news, especially for the Canadians.
Sami stupidly chuckled in front of Kevin. "Did you hear that? We-we're still here! Oh my goodness! You know how I felt pressured a few minutes ago. Holy crap! We're still in the race!"
Kevin has no response to the remark of his buddy.
"Which means… Eleanor and Theodore, you are the last team to arrive." Phil continued. "And I'm sorry to tell you that you have been eliminated from the race."
Eleanor & Theodore - ELIMINATED
Those words almost broke Theodore, while Eleanor's eyes were still wide as it is as they still currently digesting the bad news.
"Got anything to say?" Phil asked the Canadians. "Kevin? Sami?"
"Well, uh, good luck on your future endeavors to you two," Sami replied quickly, almost sounding as a ridiculing tone.
"Kevin?"
Kevin only shook his head, indicating that he got nothing to say.
While the chipmunks finally moved and reacted to the announcement.
"I-I…"
Theodore got interrupted by Eleanor's sudden embrace as she begins to shed tears emotionally against Theodore's shoulder.
"I'm sorry…" She muttered.
"What?" Theodore asked.
"I-I am sorry, Theodore. I am sorry for this." She replied but continues to weep under his collar.
"Well, t-that's fine. I mean, we did what we did and… we just made it through… right?"
Theodore only felt on his shoulder that she agrees but he continues to mesmerize the experience that they had in the race, which was currently showing on the screen.
"I only did what it feels a good thing, but I think you didn't make a bad decision." Theodore paused for a bit but he felt nothing from Eleanor, so he continued. "The only goal that I have been wanted to come true is to make an adventure of a lifetime with you…"
Eleanor suddenly roses up from her messy state as her face was gushing black mascara and she kissed Theodore from his cheek. The boy was caught surprised by the action of his partner.
"Theo, I am so lucky to have you… you're wacky, you're kind and… you're so strong than I ever thought it would be. You are so out of this world that I… that I…" She stuttered.
"What is it, Eleanor? What is it?"
He was caught by the lips of Eleanor, justifying her current feelings at her partner, then the kiss was broke abruptly.
"Wh- whaaa?!"
Eleanor turned away and chuckled at Theodore's reaction as he stumbles on his feet, almost collapsing on the ground while Phil and the greeter watch them with their smiles on their faces.
Eleanor & Theodore (Confessional)
"That was a great, great ride for us to be. It was intense and fun, it's all of the above, like a test." Eleanor said.
"But the race was the whole test!" Theodore clarified in his own way.
"Yeah, I can agree to that! But anyway, this race taught us how to be communicable with each other and we shared a lot of experience and strong suits that I believe we have just seen by our very own eyes."
"This is that moment that I will never, ever forget about! Trust me!"
"Are you sure about that?" Eleanor asked him, raising a pinky in front of Theodore. "Pinky promise?"
"Yeah, pinky promise," Theodore answered back with a pinky touching Eleanor's.
The camera showed the departure of the chipmunks from the statue, Phil, and the greeter.
SHORT END CREDITS
"Stay tuned for more scenes on the next episode!" Phil said in a voiceover as the screen fades to black.
"Next time on The Amazing Race…" Phil paused. "The newly-devised Lay-By returns!"
"Oh, yes! We got it!" A racer exclaimed happily.
"As teams march ahead…"
Some teams were seen playing a local instrument in a marching band parade.
"While others count their possibilities of getting eliminated next…"
A scene of falling snow globes was captured by the camera, courtesy of a team's error. Followed by the flock of sheep, scattering around the wide field.
"You've got to be kidding me!" Sami angrily reacted.

A/N: Took a long time to update this thing, it went from one to two weeks from the last update until now with two months. LOL. I don't wanna do a promised date to update a chapter, that always made me disappointed in myself for not committing such actions.
So, here we are, the end of the fifth leg, we're half a stretch towards the finish. I still have a long way to go, but sure, I can finish this as long as I have motivation and time, due to my online classes.
For now, I'll be taking a short break from writing. When will I get back? I don't know. Let's just find out ourselves. XD.
Enjoy the new chapter. Don't forget to R&R! :D
I'll see you soon.
