(I shall be skipping ahead to the final heat of the SnowJam race here. )
It was the fnal heat. The top 6 were of course Mac then Skye, Zoe , Nate, Griff, and Allegra. Viggo watched from the sidelines. "Get him Al!!" Kaori was jumping around. "You are number 1 Ma-Kun. Go for Gold."
The start buzzer went off. Mac took a huge lead by performing a signature trick. Allegra was next to Nate who backflipped over her. "Showoff…." Allegra boosted her speed. Griff and Zoe were exchanging harsh words and blows.
"Hey Old Lady cant you keep up?" Zoe growled. "Say it again I dare you you punk!!!!" Griff smirked. "Old Lady!!!" This prompted Zoe to chase after him. The two got distracted by everyone passing them but Zoe broke away from Griff. "Never mind. I don't wanna end up getting first in the back of the line…" She left Griff in her dust. "Hey Zoe…" He coughed. "Wait up!!" He sped after her. Skye had discovered one of the shortcuts and was gaining on Mac. Mac saw her coming and did another trick off the jump leading into the forest area. "Hey Skye how slow can you get???" Skye smirked and took another shortcut. "Very funny Mate!!!" She had a huge lead again after taking another shortcut. After all she was a natural born competitor who loved the thill of a good competition. Nate had caught up to Mac and passed him. Allegra was next to Zoe. The two were competing heavily for the 2nd position. Griff was sadly way behind the rest. The crowed went wild. The race was getting intence. And they saw that Allans replacement lived up to her reputation and was going to prove doubters wrong.
Elise pulled into the parking lot of the hospital. She cut the headlights and walked inside. "May I visit Allana please." The receptionist looked at the time. "Im sorry but visiting hours are over Miss Riggs." Elise had a mild look of surprise. "Pardon me but I don't see a sign anywhere that says what hours they are now do I?" The receptionist cringed. Elise had a notorious reputation of doing anything to get what she wanted. "Of course I could make some exception…."
"Thank you…" Elise said a bit sarcastically and went to Allanas room and placed some flowers near her bedside. Allana snapped her eyes open. "Elise shouldn't you be at the race? You never would miss a opportunity to impress everyone." Allana was kinda surprised. Elise was the person she least expected to be visiting her.
"Its more important if I come see you . I wanted to just say thank you for doing that back there. But I don't understand….I was so cold to you and yet you almost died because of me…are you that foolish." Allana sighed. "Listen I don't care if you hate me and no matter how much I loath you. I care about all of my teammmates and friends. I just did what I felt was right. You don't have to be thanking me so casually."
Elise was shocked. "Even after all that…you are something else kid." She cracked a brief smile. "I hope when you recover we could settle our differences with a friendly race or something." Allana just nodded. "Im going to be out for a bit. Maybe until you reach the final Peak. I still am rather ashamed of myself. I caused Allegra yet more pain."
"What about?" So Allana explained her story to her. "I abandoned her for 5 years and now I have worried her. Shes my sister after all and look at me…I ended up in this stupid hospital and its not my cup of tea."
Elise chuckled. "I can understand. Listen…"She looked serious. "Allegra asked me to check up on you."
"She did? Is that why you came…" Allana asked. Elise sighed. "She doesn't really trust you with Skye. Earlier last week she asked me to spy on you just incase you went overboard again. I know I really shouldn't be telling you this…"
Allana waved her off. "I kinda knew already. \Zoe and Psymon agreed to help me. She is just so overprotective of my well being and all." Elise said nothing and stood up. "Well I better go catch the last few minuits of that race." Allana watched her. "Wait Elise…." Elise turned back. "Yeah."
."Tell Allegra im sorry….Sorry to have acted so foolish." Elise nodded. "Ill be sure to…" With that she headed out again.
The race was about over. Surprisingly Skye took the Gold. Mac had lost to Nate who had taken Silver. Griff was of course in last place and Allegra and Zoe were still vying for 4th and 5th. Mac had taken the Bronze halfheartedly but he shook Skyes hand. "Good race mate." Mac saw Kaori hug him. "Nicely done. Its better then nothing Makun." Eventually Allegra came in 4th and Zoe cursed as she ended up in 5th place. Griff sulked and was ridiculed by Zoe.
Elise arrived as the riders were walking off. "Hey Allegra!" Allegra saw Elise. " That's a first we missed you at the race…" She had a hint of disdain. She still had a dislike of Elise.
"I was visiting Allana. I owed her. " She ignore Allegras tone and relayed Allanas message. "She apologizes."
Allegra softened. "She worries too much. But my sister always had a low self confidence issue…." She sighed. "I understand her, She always never left my side when we were kids."
Elise just headed off to find Nate. "Shes a good kid tho…" Allegra heard her say under her breath and smiled. (Elise likes my sister after all…)
Allana was told that in a few days she would be allowed to leave the hospital. She was in higher spirits after all she hated hospitals they were so boring.
(Id rather be boarding then being in a lame place…) She though. ( I cant wait to see everyone again…)
