"Team will start the order they finished so Cadets are... whoa, whoa, whoa!" Don stopped his introduction when he saw the Ice Dancers walk up to the carpet first, "Yesterday's winners go first Ice Capades!"
Speaking of winners, the cadets ran up to them, "Yeah, relax silver streak." MacArthur said.
"Wait your turn!" Sanders yelled at them.
(Dual Confessional)
Sky: Those Ice Dancers seemed pretty serious to get first place.
Zane: Serious? More like obsessed. I heard Josee wrecked part of the set just because she and Jacques got 3rd in Morocco! Plus, they keep smiling everywhere they go. Very creepy if you ask me...
When Best Friends were about to get their tip, a mime came out of nowhere and took it. I don't know how that's possible.
"Hey! Give that back!" Devin chased after it ran away.
We took our tip. "Take the train down to South France going down the Mediterranean for your next travel tip."
"Let's get going!" Sky ran ahead of me. I looked back to see Junior starring dreamily at Carrie. Wow, that's kinda cool... even if he is a couple years younger.
"Hey...uh..." Junior tried to introduce himself in a low voice, "Hey, I'm Dwayne."
"Hi, I'm Carrie." She introduced herself to him. Just as they were about to shake hands, Junior's Dad shook her hand instead. Aw... so close, dude.
"Nice to meet you. Dwayne Sr." His dad introduced himself, "I see you already met Junior. This kid, ha, ha! He's a great little guy!" Wow, now he sounds like a baby.
"Dad!" He hissed.
"I mean he acts up sometimes, but that happens when they're near puberty." And there goes all his street cred. Though, I'm not sure he had one to begin with...
"Zane! Come on!" My cousin called off.
"Coming!" I ran off to catch up to her. These last few days have been eventful with Owen and Noah. I hope they catch up to us so we form an alliance. Probably could get Kitty and her sister along with us... not that I want to spend time with her or anything. Just get us toward the finals and split the million off.
Hm, it'll be hard to split off with three teams.
Anywho, we were standing in the street where cars were flying past us. Literally! Those cars weren't slowing down for anyone.
"These cars are going by too fast. There's no way we can signal them! What do we do now?" I asked Sky.
"Let's try and find the train station." She suggested, making us dart for a way toward the station. Unfortunately, it was extremely hard for us since we had no map or GPS to guide us. After about an hour or so, we were a little tired but kept going.
"Don't you think we should take a break?" I asked Sky, "We've searching for the station for at least an hour."
"We can't give up!" She refused, "We've probably missed the first train by now!" Great, we've lost top placement.
I realized the sign we ran by was very familiar, "Hey, wait a second. Didn't we pass that sign before?"
"Yeah... so?" Sky knew what I was saying, "Aw, man. We've been going in circles! We'll never find the station at this rate."
I looked out in the distance and saw sign that had stairs by it, "Hey look! There it is!" She smiled along with me, "Come on! Let's get going before we're last place!" We sped down the stairs and onto the next train where possibly the last teams were riding. I was right because the other teams were already doing other parts of the challenge.
I grabbed the tip just before Taylor and her mom, "Hey, no cutting!"
"Sorry, this is race. Can't slow down now!" I apologized even though I never really meant it, "It's a Botch-or-Watch... and it's your turn Sky."
"What do I have to do?" She asked.
"Get the next tip off of the fin of a Great White Shark," We turned to see the sharks swimming in the water, showing its teeth and growling. We had wide-eyes at the scene.
"Anything more?"
"Eaten teammates results in disqualification."
"They seriously want us to get near an animal capable of eating people in one bite?!" That's surprising coming from the girl who faced that sort of stuff on Pahkitew Island.
"And you're surprised how?" I raised an eyebrow at her.
She swam into the water to get close toward the shark. From what I can see from, it looks like her original plan was trying to swim on top of it and take it from its fin. Still, Sky wasn't getting anywhere fast so she got in front of it (which wasn't a good idea in the first place) and prepared to take the tip. But the shark rose from the water, showing its teeth as if it was going to eat her. Instead of ending as an appetizer, she punched it in the stomach, making it whimper and give up the tip.
She had a defiant smile on her face while it swam away, "HA!" My cousin got back onto shore and read the next part of the challenge, "It's an All-In. We have to build a sand replica of the Palace of Versailles and get it approved by Sandy McCastles."
I gave a strange look to my cousin, "Is that even a real name?"
"No time to wonder, just start building!" Sky and I had already started to build our sand replica and overheard the Cadets.
"You sure this has to be big?" Sanders asked MacArthur.
She glared back at her partner, "You wanna take a chance on losing here? Either we go big or we go home!"
Emma had the same idea too, "Did you hear that? Go big or go home!"
"Same here too, Zane!" Sky suggested.
I groaned, "Do we have to? I mean as long as it looks the same-"
"Zane..."
I rolled my eyes and crossed arms, "Fine. But if we fall behind again, it's your fault." The Geniuses, however, were making a long equation into the sand. You're making a sand replica for crying out loud girls! Don't make it more complicated than it is.
Father and Son were running past us towards the next part of the challenge. That was when Kitty got our attention, "Aw, look at the cute little castle." We saw they had passed with a tiny replica of the palace.
"Hold the sand phone. It doesn't have to be big?!" MacArthur groaned. Told you!
"New plan: it doesn't have to be big." Emma commanded her sister.
"Yeah, you don't say Eisenhower." She glared at me after my sarcastic remark, which made me grin. That and Kitty laughed.
After building our replica of the palace, McCastles... still not sure if that is a real name... checked ours and approved of it.
Sky read the next tip, "We have to take a speedboat down to the Southern tip of Iceland where The GPS will guide to where the chill zone is," Her face into a confused look, "Iceland?"
I didn't feel like questioning the challenge, "Let's just hope we get there fast. We lost a lot of time back from searching the station," Both of us dashed toward the docks where the speedboats were.
"Let's take this one!" My cousin pointed to the one right in front of us.
I tried to start it, but it kept stalling every time, "Ah! Come on you piece of junk!" I kicked which got it starting immediately, "There we go." I drove the speedboat down to Iceland where we saw the Reality TV Pros passed by us.
"Where did they come from?" Sky asked.
I shrugged, "Beats me," They sure made an epic comeback.
We had parked near the boardwalk and ran right behind the two of them and finished right after them, "Acrobats: 3rd place," Don announced.
"YES!/Still got it!" Sky and I cheered.
After Emma and Kitty scored 9th place, two big people came to the chill zone for some reason, "Who are you and who are you?" Needless to say... Don was confused, "Are you on this show?"
I'm pretty sure they aren't...
A/N: And that's where I'm gonna end the chapter because... well, why not? It's kind of a humorous cliffhanger.
