First off I want to say I'm sorry for not updating sooner but I couldn't find any motivation to write this chapter (I'll warn you now there isn't much drama this is just a filler) but THANKS FOR ALL THE REVIEWS! I went to drama and when I returned I had 10 e-mails and then when I woke up in the morning I had a further 10 emails and most were for this story. Sadly no one could figure out the reference in the last chapter so I'll give you a hint: It's in Season 1 of a Nick Show. I'll stop rambling now
DISCLAIMER: I don't won Kickin' It but I do own everyone else
Eddie POV
I woke up feeling refreshed after having the day off. I got up and noticed that the rain had stopped but it still had dark rain clouds hanging over us. I go down and see that Jack and Milton are also up which doesn't surprise me.
"Morning" I say to them as I sit down on the plastic sheet placed on the ground
"Morning" They say back
"Do you think that we will have a challenge today?" I ask
"I would say so as it looks like it hasn't rained for a couple of hours and the cloud have been getting lighter as I've been sitting here" Jack said looking at the sky. I notice the morning chill as I get up and away from the fire. The rain has brought the temperature down over night. As I get back to the fire I see that Kim has joined us. She looks very tired which I'm not surprised about since she found out about her Grandma was here. I would be like that. I'm also feeling a bit homesick as I have nothing of my family. I was talking to Milton about it yesterday before the others came back yesterday afternoon. He told how he was missing his family greatly as he knows that they aren't only a phone call away like they are at summer camp unlike me who hasn't spent longer than a weekend away from my family. We also said that we were interested in Jack's family as he doesn't talk a lot about them and we talk about it he just avoids the topic. We have decided that Jack and Kim know each other before here as they are super close and we notice them sneaking off together.
"Morning Eddie" Kim says to me
"Morning Kim" I reply to her as I don't want to get on the wrong side of her
"Do you think Jerry is awake?" Jack asks
"I don't think so" Milton answered
"Why am I not surprised?" I ask
"Well for one it's Jerry and we have learnt that he likes his sleep. Let's hope the horn wakes him up" Jack answers to me and looks up at the sky and begins to walk off. He didn't get very far when the horn goes off. We heard Jerry grumble from up in the tree-house and he appears as Jack walks back with the basket of food.
"Morning Jerry" Kim says to him in a really chirpy voice
"Morning" Jerry grumbles at us. I look at Jack and see that he has opened up the basket and gets on the note
"Guys the note says: Morning Team Water. I'm hope you made the most of your day off but we are in normal play today. The challenge is called Team Test which you can tell is about teamwork. You are all playing and no special equipment is needed apart from helmets. Before anyone asks the food you were given yesterday is based off your overall position" Jack read out
"Well that's easy. Were all playing then so let's eat" I say as I hear my stomach rumble. It's a similar breakfast to yesterday with bread and some cheese.
"So for this team challenge I recommend that we have a leader" Milton says
"I agree but who should it be?" I ask
"I say Jack" Jerry says
"Me to" Me and Milton say at the same time and we all laugh
"Kim who do you say?" Milton asks her as we have noticed she has gone off into her own little world
"Huh what" Kim said after being dragged out of her thought
"Who do you say should be leader for the challenge today?"
"Jack" She said without any hesitation
"Why me guys? I don't have much leadership skills. I work alone" Jack argues back
"You have the best knowledge out of all of us and you have lead us before" Milton argues back to him
"Fine but don't blame me when we lose" He says.
We began working out a few codes we might use but we agreed that we would listen to what Jack says but if we have an idea then tell and we will decide which is better. We went back to our own rooms to get ready to go. I walk with Milton back to our rooms
"I still think Jack and Kim know each other just look at them" Milton says and I look over my shoulder at them. I spot that Jack has picked Kim up in his arms and is chucking her up and down and she is laughing.
"I still agree but I'm more interested in Jack's past. It's so mysterious" Milton nods his head
"You never know. He might trust us after today" Milton says as we reach my room and I go in.
It wasn't long after that when the horn goes and we all go together to the games area. When we reach it we see that we are the last team to arrive and when I look at some of the other teams they look really rough. It looks like some of the people from Fire haven't slept well and there is one in Wood who is really pale so I guess that is the team who can't cook.
"Morning Teams" The Island Master says bringing me out of my thoughts "I hope you are ready for the team test. This challenge as said in the name will test your team work. You have been on the island together for a few days and we hoped that your rest day helped you bond as a team. You will race through 3 sections. First you will be working together to move a ball through a maze. Only 4 will be playing but you can't see the ball and the other person will be guiding you all. You will then move through a floor puzzle stepping on the block at the same time in the right pattern which will be somewhere in the room and finally working together rolling a log through an obstacle course. You have 2 minutes to discuss" We immediately turned to each other in a circle.
"Jack you be leader and we all follow under his command" Kim said and we all nodded. I began listening into Fire's tactics and they were arguing over who was leader. It was 2 boys and one was called James who I recognized to be the sportiest person and Don who I had seen being a cheater as he looked like an idiot at my school who cheated all the time but he wasn't called Don.
"Times up and follow me" The Island Master said bringing me out of my thoughts again.
We all began following him until we reached the base of a hill and we could see an area which had 4 sets of everything. We could see a massive table which had a platform for someone to stand on so I assumed that was the first challenge. I could then see some coloured tiles in a row followed by a massive log which runs round the side of the hill. Each challenge had coloured go I guessed we would be on the blue challenges.
"You would start down there" The Island Master said pointing down to the table areas "Before following course round. You might of realised there are 4 courses in different colours. Water you will follow the blue trail, Fire the red one, Earth the green one and Wood the brown one. The leaders will take you to your starting positions."
We followed a girl who was dressed in blue down to the starting point.
"3...2...1...GO!" And with that we ran off down to the first challenge with Jack running up to the top while we all ran to the corners. I found the table quite heavy to lift. Jack began shouting out instructions which I found clear and easy to follow unlike this boy at school who whenever he lead something you didn't know what to do. We managed to get the ball very quickly into the hole in the middle. We then began walking to the next challenge.
"At the minute we are out in front. Fire can't work together with them all doing different things, Earth are doing ok but one of the players isn't pulling their weight and Wood can't hear each other" Jack told us on the way down. When I got there I saw that Earth were close to finishing but the others were miles away. In front of me were 5 different paths each 5 stones long and 3 stones wide with 5 different patterns on the wall surrounding the pathways.
"Guys whose is who" Kim asked us looking at the different patterns
"Let's just have a go and see." Jack said. We all began working out with patterns could go with each pathway and quickly figured out which ones to take.
"One my count step on the first stone ok 1...2...3" We all step and Milton and Jerry get pushed back to the start
"Jerry Milton swap pathways but read the same stones and the rest of us back to start" As soon as I step off I get pushed back to start.
"Ready" Jack asked and we all nod
"3...2...1" We stepped onto the path and when I looked around we were all there
"3...2...1" We all stepped again and we were all still there but the next one could be where Jack and Kim could switch
"3...2...1" We all jumped again and we say Jack and Kim were still with us and Jerry did his famous Whoooo
"Don't cheer yet Jerry we could mess up" Kim told him sternly
"3...2...1" We all moved again and all still together which to be honest I was quite surprised about
"And the last one 3...2...1" We got on the last one and we all somehow stepped off together and we got out of there. As we ran to where the massive log was, I looked back and saw that we were still ahead. Earth and Wood were in where we just came from and Fire wasn't even there yet and I thought they were good.
When we got to the log which we had to roll I saw that it was a mud course with different things on it which we had to move. We took up places with Jack on one end then me then Milton was in the middle then Kim and Jerry on the end. We got a quick pace going as we started moving with Jack telling us how to move the log and us all taking our parts moving some of the obstacles. We were on the final run to the finished when I looked over my shoulder to see Earth about a third of the way through and Wood just beginning on the course but still no sign of Fire. We crossed the line and we all had a massive group hug.
"Well done guys we all did brilliantly" Jack told us and I could see our already big smiles getting bigger.
"No one can tell us that we don't work as a team" Milton said. We then followed the person in blue to the edge of the hill where we sat and watched the end of the race. Earth were easily 2nd place and worked well together but just were slower than us. Wood I could see where having problems with some on them being lazy and no one was leading. When Fire eventually appeared we saw and heard why they were having so many problems. They were all trying to be leaders and take control and were not listening to one another. We say than when moving the log that one side was going quicker than the other so they log began going in a circle. Our team had that problem but as soon as we noticed it we evened out the speed and the problem went away.
When Fire eventually crossed the line we were allowed to go back to camp which we did. The weather wasn't brilliant as it was still cloudy from the rain the other day and it wasn't warm enough to go in the sea.
"So what do you want to do this afternoon?" Milton asked
"How about a game of something?" I asked
"Sure but what game?" Kim asked
"I saw tennis rackets if you are up for tennis" Jack told us
"Tennis that's awesome. I was a master at tennis" Jerry said getting all excited
"How is it going to work though?" Milton asked
"There was 4 rackets so we could do doubles and have a referee and we change after each match so we play each other" Jack suggested
"I'm up for that" I say and the others nod
"I'll go and get them then" Jack said before climbing up the tree. I don't think I've ever seen that boy use the normal way up the tree.
"I'm with Jack first" Jerry says as soon as Jack has gone
"I'm sitting out first" Kim said
"So me and you Milton" I say and he nods just as Jack comes back with the rackets. We then find long sticks and mark out a court. We use some old cloth we found as a net and set out the rules as there were a few differences. We decided to play to 11 points. The first game Jack and Jerry won 11-3 and Jerry wasn't kidding when he said he was good at tennis. The 2nd game was Kim and Milton vs Jerry and me. The game final score came out at 11-8. That game turned more into a single game between Kim and Jerry. The next game was me and Kim vs Milton and Jack. This game was really close as well with the final score 12-10 to Jack. We were tied on points with a massive come back from Milton and Jack meant that they won. Milton was actually surprising good at Tennis it just took him a while to get into the flow of it. The next game I was the ref on which came at the right time as I needed a break. That game was Kim and Jack vs Jerry and Milton. It was an exciting game with there being massive rallies going on. It was eventually won by Jack and Kim and we all took a 5 minute break to catch our breaths. The last game was me and Jack vs Jerry and Kim and I lost badly 11-4. I actually scored a point in that round which I was happy about.
When we worked out the time we decided that we could have a few matches in singles which was a lot of fun to watch specially between Jack and Jerry. They had massive rallies going and the only reason they got points was because they had misjudged something and it went out. After that match we decided that we would go and have showers. It was my turn to have the first shower so I got the hot one. It was really nice to have really hot water again. It's one of the few things that I had missed since arriving.
Once we had all finished showering, we sat around the campfire waiting for our meal to arrive.
"I've had fun today. Have you?" Jerry asked
"Yeah. We are the best team and it was proved today" Kim said
"I couldn't have asked for a better team than you all. You did everything I asked without question" Jack says making us all smile
"This was the first team which respected me and my slowness" Milton says
"I'm with Milton you guys respected me" I said. The horn then sounds and me and Milton go to get it. I had a quick look in it and can see a lot of meat. We gave the basket to Jack who face went into a bigger smile.
"Were eating like kings tonight" Jack said and Kim glared at him
"And Queens then" And Kim them smiled looking into the bag and grabbing the note out.
"Well Done Team Water. You came first today in the team challenge proving that you have the best teamwork skills out of all the teams so enjoy your meal tonight and get a good night's rest as tomorrow you might not be in camp. At the minute you are in 1st with 28 points." Kim read out
"What do you think it means that we might not be in camp tomorrow?" Milton asks
"It means that we won't be here tomorrow" Jerry says and I spot Kim shaking her head as she helps Jack prepares the food.
"I think that one of us could get captured" I say
"That could happen. I've seen shows like this and people get captures though it usually later on." Kim tells us
"It could be an overnight challenge" Jack says
"Such as" Jerry said
"Star reading or camping. Things like that" Jack told him before turning back to the dinner.
"It might not mean anything though" Kim tells us
"What you mean?" Milton asks
"Well it could just be saying enjoy the meal as you might not get one as good as this for a while" Kim explains.
"Dinner's ready" Jack calls and we sit and eat very quickly as we haven't had a meal with this much meat since the first one on the island. I went and washed up all the pots as we take it in turns and it was my turn. We then sat around the camp fire telling stories about things which have happened to us such as when I slipped and chucked the meal I was carrying over the girl I liked. I noticed that Jack had drifted off into his own little world then leaving to go up to his room and it wasn't long after that did we all go up to bed. I thought I saw Jack standing looking out of his window muttering something up to the sky.
So I hoped you liked it and hopefully the next chapter should be up soon as I'm on Half Term
