Umi,Buka and Hemac looked at each and nodded "Were ready." they said all at the same time. Hotomo smiled and stood up "Follow me.". He then walked out the ally and lead the way to a gate "When you walk though his gate you'll be transported to the floor, Unless you want to jump of the edge." He grinned, He then walked though the gate and disappeared , Buka looked at Umi and bowed "Ladies first" he smiled , Umi then bowed as well "No, I insist you go first." She smiled back "No you first"
"No, I insist You first" she growled. They then pressed their foreheads together , "No you!" they both snarled. Hemac sighed and pushed them out the way and walked though the gate,Umi and Buka looked at each other "We both go at the same time." Umi glared. "Fine!" Buka sharply said , They then linked arms and both walked though the gate. They arrived in a small wood , and as they look up they sky village was floating above them. "Wow, I never knew we were that high up." said Umi. Buka nodded . Hemac,Buka and Umi stood in front of Hotomo . He waited till they were quite , He held up two bells and smiled "I have two bells in my hand, the idea is to take the bells from me. If you succeed you will pass , but first I have a question, who had their breakfast toady?" . The Group looked at each other and shrugged "I'm guessing none of you did, great , this makes things more challenging." he grinned. Buka put his hand up "But there's only two bells, and there are three of us." he confusedly said. Hotomo smiled and continued "I was getting up to that point, the person who does not succeed will be tied to a near by tree and watch their team-mates have lunch." he put a clock down. "You have till noon, to collect the bells." Umi looked at the clock. "That means we have 2 hours to get the bells" she thought to herself. Hotomo looked at the clock, "Ready,Steady...Go!" he slammed the clock alarm and disappeared. Buka jumped back "Whoa, he's fast!" . Hemac ran into the wood to find him , and then Umi and Buka followed , Hemac stopped so did Buka and Umi ,Hemac pointed to their sensei reading a book "He's begging us to get him,that fool" Grinned Hemac. He then hid in the bushes , Umi silently followed along with Buka. "How can you see with a fringe cover in one of your eyes." Buka asked but then got a hit on his head by Umi "Shut up, You'll blow our cover." Umi whispered , Then Hotomo faced the other way. "Now our chance!" Hemac whispered and then ran out the brushes and headed towards Hotomo , Just as Hemac was about to grab the bell Hotomo lifted his hand and poked Hemac's arm downwards , He fell face first into the ground. "Ouch, Hemac got owned." Sniggered Buka "Now, my turn." grinned Umi and she too ran out the brushes , she jumped in front of Hotomo and Pulled tongues , Hotomo looked at her and lifted an eyebrow "Tricked you." she said , Hotomo eyes went wide open and look at the bells to see one had gone. He turn and faced Hemac and saw he was holding up on of the bells. "I'm not missing all the fun." Buka thought to himself and he too ran out the brushes and jumped on Hotomo. Hotomo tried to shake Buka off but Buka kept tight hold. Umi grabbed hold of Hotomo and tried to grab the bell but Hotomo poked her hand downward ,making her miss . Hotomo then tried to get Buka off But couldn't reach so he spun around and around "Er, I am getting kinda dizzy here!" Buka yelled. Umi then tripped up Hotomo and went to grab the bell to see it was gone "Huh,What the!" she confusedly said , She down to see Buka had already got the bell while Hotomo span around, "I'm...getting...squished!"Buka mumbled under Hotomo so Hotomo got up and wiped the dirt of his clothes while Buka gasp for air "Well, I see Buka and Hemac got the bells." Hotomo smile and he looked at his clock "With 1 hour and 20 minutes to spare." He looked up at Umi and grinned "I guess we can have lunch early." Hotomo smirked and then head towards Umi "No, Please!" Umi Begged. Hotomo picked up Umi and swung her over his shoulders. "My Mum packed my lunch for me, I can't let that go to waste!" she yelled kicking her leg in the air "Well, I'll have it." Hotomo grinned .He then pinned Umi to a tree and tied rope around her. He turned and faced Buka and Hemac "Don't feed any food to her, or you fail!" He glared and then walked off "eh, sorry Umi." Buka apologised but Umi kept glaring , they sat down and started to eat their lunch. More noises came from Umi's tummy every time they took a bite "I did most of the work!" Moaned Umi. "I helped!" she then looked at Buka with cute puppy eyes,Buka looked at her and laughed so he then looked around and took a bit off his sandwich ,he then fed it to Umi "What are you doing!" Yelled Hemac "Your going to get us failed." . Buka looked at Hemac "Well, I'd rather fail then see Umi starving." Buka smiled. Umi smiles back, He took another bit of his sandwich and fed it to Umi. Hotomo hung from the tree, he bellowed "You!" , Buka's eyes flew open wide with shock "Holy Shit!" He yelled and he fell backward while Hemac started to choke on his drink . Hotomo laughed "You, Pass." . Buka flung back up "The teacher said what?" Umi was still tied to the tree in a shock pose to say anything , Hemac still choking on his drink . "God, I didn't mean to scare you that much," Hotomo embarrassedly said. "You scared the living day light out of us!" Buka twitched "And I think Hemac going to turn blue soon," Hemac drank more of his drink and sighed. Hotomo coughed "Anyway,you all pass."
"Pass?" Hemac said confusedly "You said we would fail of we gave Umi food,and we did."
"Exactly, That what teamwork is all about, putting others first and working together, example, Umi both helped you two to get the bells." Hotomo continued "If you all work together you could all win the challenge." Hotomo smiled and then untied Umi , Umi sighed and glared at Hotomo. Hotomo smiled "I'll meet you here again ,ok?"
"Ok!" Buka joyfully said and Hotomo and Umi smiled as the sun setted.
