"Nick Masters coming to you live just outside sparkling Las Vegas, Nevada, where Alex Mann, the Action Man, is about to kick off the never-before-done Hot Air Balloon Hopscotch!" The gray-haired, toupeed announcer in his typical black suit and tie and red shirt stepped back dramatically as balloons ascended into the air. "Any minute now, Alex Mann will jump out of Big Air, - piloted by Mister Singh-Baines, Team X-Treme's manager - get picked up by Little Air, with Grinder Sinclair at the stick, and land on one of the balloons, where he'll proceed to jump to four other balloons. If he misses one-" Masters flinched. "It's game over." He looked questioningly to someone behind the camera then turned. "Ah... And here he comes now. Alex Mann, man of action!"
Fidget Wilson stood atop a white balloon with the Action Man logo, blowing a bit of bright pink bubble gum while she adjusted her lens. "Oh, yeah... Work the camera..." she whispered into her headset.
Alex fell and grabbed the line trailing behind Little Air, using its momentum to carry him to the balloon.
Fidget took a step back and found her foot entangled in a line. She gasped. "Oh, no..."
Alex landed, and the force of the impact catapulted her off the side. "Fidget!"
"Ahhh!"
