TDI

The birthday party for Gwen was almost over. Almost. Chris walked in and called the rowdy teenagers to order. "We've got us some very special guest contestants. Be kind, make them feel at home, blah-blah-blah. Welcome Maximum Ride and her family!''

Behind Chris came some scruffy looking kids. The oldest girl had long brown hair and tan (or it could possibly be dirt) skin. The boy behind her was pale with long black hair. He looked sort of emo-ish. The next boy was about six-foot-two and had strawberry-blonde hair. Three younger kids walked in: an African-American girl, a little blonde boy, and a really cute girl. No one had any idea why Chris had called them a family. Orphans, maybe? Their parents could be missionaries.

"Hey," the eldest girl said,"I'm Max, this is Fang, Iggy, Nudge, Gazzy, and Angel."

"What kind of names are those?" Heather said.

"Shut up, Heather! Don't worry, she's like that to everyone," Gwen said," I'm Gwen."

"I'm Courtney! This shows one and only CIT!"

"I'm Duncan," Duncan said, fist bumping Iggy." I'm a blind pyro," Iggy said, which Duncan immediately thought was epic.

"And I'm The Gasman, or Gazzy, or Gazzer, any one is fine with me!" Gazzy yelled.

"Why do they call him The Gasman?" Geoff asked. The flock stared at eachother."You might find out in a minute," Gazzy said, grinnig from ear to ear. Max scoffed, and Iggy laughed."Although you might not want to!" he said.

After everyone was introduced to eachother, Chris announced the first challenge." Your first challenge is a race. No rules. Everything is fair game. Use all of your abilities to get to the Dock of Shame first. Be ready in 10."
