A/N: Well, since I can't think of an intro, let's just get right to action!
Zane: But I have one-
Author: Too late. TIME TO RACE!
After our friends went up (and a few minutes of try cooling off Josee. Thank you Jacques), Sky and I ran up to take the next travel tip from the box.
"Find your next tip at the World Famous Bird's Nest Stadium," I read aloud then pondered on it "Hm, sounds familiar."
"Come on, let's go!" Sky voiced, before we took a taxi to the airport. As usual, we were on the first flight to our next destination. We found out that the stadium was in Beijing, China; I thought it sounded familiar. As it touched down, we ran to the shuttle bus which was taking us to the stadium.
"Thanks again for letting us take the win yesterday." Kitty thanked us.
"No problem." Owen laughed.
"Your welcome." I sing-songed.
"Just don't expect us to return the favor. We have an alliance, but it's still a competition." Emma replied. Noah looked dreamily at her again.
(Dual Confessional)
Noah: *Smiles* Yup, she likes me.
Owen: *Laughs then Sings* Noah and Emma sittin' in a tree! K-I-S- *Gets slapped by Noah, who is glaring* OW!
Noah: How about you make fun of Zane and Kitty?
Owen: Okay! *Sings* Zane and Kitty sittin' in a tree! K-I-S- *Gets slapped by Zane on his right arm* OW! Come on!
Sky: So, why won't you admit your feelings to Kitty?
Zane: *Crosses arms* Because I don't know if she feels the same way.
Sky: Zane. She kissed you when you saved her.
Zane: So? That doesn't mean anything. You can save someone's life the epic way and all they do is walk on by and- oh who am I kidding? *Unsure Grin* She probably does feel the same way.
Sky: *Smiles* See?
Zane: But I'm still gonna wait.
Sky: *Sighs*
After the bus had stopped, we exited and found the Don Box spraying our travel tips on the sidewalk.
Sky caught one of them in mid-air, "An All-In: fly over the the stadium, attempt a jump, and land into the hole of the stadium."
"Donut! WOO-HOO!" Owen cheered.
"Uh..." When we boarded the plane, we got a good look of the stadium and the donut. No, it's not the one you eat.
Needless to say, he was sad, "That's the donut? Disappointed!"
"Well, what did you expect? A REAL giant donut in Beijing?" Sky shrugged.
"Yes..."
She stared at him wide-eyed and fell down on the floor. After a few seconds of recovering, all of us were strapped in with parachutes on our backs. Well, Sky's in the back, I was strapped in front of her.
Also, Noah tried to flirt with Emma, "So uh... I guess they... have our backs." He cringed. Like I said: tried.
"Yup, that was horrible." She replied right before she whispered something to her sister. The alarm blared signaling the door to open.
"Jump time! Ready?" Kitty said to me.
"Absolutely... not." I muttered the last part to myself.
As if he heard me, Noah stated, "How hard could it be?" Way to go.
We jumped out of the plane and pulled the parachutes. Unfortunately, it was REALLY windy so we were blown back. Sky and I faster than the rest of them because it looks like no one checked all the 'chutes. Sky and I smashed right into the sign behind everyone else.
I dazily got out of the strap and groaned while smiling, "Hey, that wasn't so bad." Of course, that was the moment where a giant ball of yarn rolled over least it wasn't the common cartoon boulder.
(A/N: Try and guess this reference. Seriously, I forgot this one. I think it came from a movie...)
Yeah, I broke the fourth wall...ish. Sue me.
"Are you okay, Zane?" Sky (I think) moaned in pain.
"Yes grandma, I would like another snickerdoodle." I answered back, using my arms to get my face off of the ground, then fell back down again.
After a few minutes of recovering, strapping out, and re-arranging some bones (that last one was just me), we were running to the stadium. Okay well, everyone else was running back to the plane to jump again; I was being carried by Owen.
"This time less screaming, more steering!" Emma commanded.
"I'll see what I can do but no guarantees." Kitty replied.
This time we tried it again and this time we were able to land in the stadium. Noah tried ask Emma what kind of movies she liked until he was squashed by Owen. They got back up and I was picked back again by you know who to the Don Box.
"Why am I being carried again?" I asked no in particular.
"Your legs fell asleep when you were rolled over by the giant ball of yarn." Sky reminded.
"I am perfectly, one-hundred percent fine!" I denied, "You can put down now," Owen did so. I managed to stand for a few good seconds until I fell back and Kitty caught me, "Okay, maybe just a few more minutes?" I sheepishly requested.
(Dual Confessional)
Sky: Where did that giant ball of yarn even come from?
Zane: I'd answer that, but I'd break this story's physics.
Sky: *Raises an eyebrow* What?
Zane: Oops, I did it again...
"Another All-In: One of the team members must assemble a skewer of Beijing street food while the other has to eat it," Sky read from the tip. All of us ran to the market where all the delicacies were fresh.
Very fresh... like... alive fresh.
No prob for me eating it. Emma made Kitty eat hers, and Noah... commanded Owen to skewer so he... would eat it...what?
"You're gonna eat for this part right?" My cousin asked me.
"Of course, I would. I mean I wouldn't want you to turn into a zombie like you did in Pahkitew." We both cringed at the thought it.
After Sky was done, she handed me the street food and I took a bite from it. After I gave wide-eyes, I swallowed it down and my cousin walked over to me concerned.
"Are you gonna be okay?" She asked.
"No..." I told her. She placed her hands up to cover her face until I continued, "This stuff needs hot sauce." Sky returned me an 'Ugh, are you serious?' face, "What? There's just some food in the world you can't have without it." I kept eating until I finished as the same time as Kitty.
Noah swallowed his in one bite. Turns out, the food was too hot for him and got stuck in his mouth. It also didn't help that he kept spitting food over Emma who was nagging him to close his mouth. He kept getting it all over Emma that it made her throw up in the bucket.
"Dude, you are trippin'." I replied looking at the scene. He only sighed almost splattering me. I covered my face with my hands, "Hey, don't sigh with your mouth full!" After finishing the challenge, we received the tip from the vendor and I read it, "It's a Botch-or-Watch. You're up Sky."
For this challenge, she had to pull me from here to the Great Wall of China by rickshaw. It's harder than it looks, but we kept up with our friends. Well, at least until Emma and Kitty lost both wheels, and Owen destroyed them. We stopped as we saw them stuck on the road.
"Hey, you guys need a hand?" He offered.
Noah walked over to Emma, "Act normal." He had wide-eyes, and she looked at him strangely, "That part wasn't supposed to be out loud. I was talking to myself. How could this get more awkward? Also to myself."
Could you be anymore awkward?
"Please stop." She pleaded.
"Okay." He smiled awkwardly. Man, I'm new at this and even I couldn't mess up that much. Then again...
"So how do we get to the wall without being penalized? We can't ride in the same rickshaw."
"I got a plan that just might work," I responded, snapping my fingers, "But I'll need your help Noah... and it's gonna be painful," He raised a finger as if he was gonna say something, however I stopped him, "Don't jinx it!"
It was a plan that would make up for Noah's mistakes along the way and win Emma's heart over. But he knew I wasn't lying when I said it was going to be painful. The plan was to hold the part where the wheels held while our partners were driving.
"Is this too fast guys?" Sky asked, glancing back toward us.
"Nope, it's good!" Noah called back. Speak yourself.
"Doesn't that hurt?" Kitty asked us.
"Of course this hurts... a lot," I answered while looking at her, "But it's not like getting rolled over by a giant yarn ball and I have the best view in China." She giggled and her cheeks turned pink in response.
"And I'm doing this for Emma; she's very pretty." Noah added. It was Emma's turn to blush. Now you're getting somewhere Casa-Noah!
We piled out of the rickshaws after getting to the wall, Kitty took selfies of me and her while we were looking for the chill zones.
"So how are your hand and legs?" She questioned.
"They're perfectly fine and awake," I answered, "I can't say the same for Noah." Turns out his hand was swollen... REALLY swollen! My was perfectly fine and at its normal size.
"How are they even still normal?" Kitty inspected one of my hand.
I shrugged, "Probably from the gloves I'm wearing. I heard they made this from strong material."
"Oh, look. Romeo and Juliet are holding hands already," Sky teased us.
"Ha, ha, laugh it up cuz," I retorted, while we both turned around so she wouldn't see how red our faces were.
In other news, Noah didn't say anything out loud while he and Emma were staring at each other.
Eventually, we all found the chill zone, but only one of us could take 2nd place.
"Ladies first." Noah offered.
Before her sister could step into the zone, Emma stopped her, "Uh-uh. You guys first, all of you. An alliance should be fair and it's your turn."
"I like you."
"Just get on the carpet you dork."
Needless to say, Sky and I came in third again before the Sisters. So we've been staying in the top positions for a while. And so have the Ice Dancers, but they still weren't too happy about it.
"FIFTH... AGAIN?!" Josee screamed in disbelief.
"Yes, fifth always comes after fourth you know. The numbers are always sequential." Don explained.
Hey, at least nothing was destroyed this time!
*CRASH*
Ugh, nevermind...
The Rockers soon came up in last, but much to their surprise and joy it was a non-elimination round. *Insert some kind of celebration music that is stopped by a record scratch*
Yeah, yeah, I know. Hurray, joy, wa-hoo. Just read the next chapter. The author's making me say and think this...
A/N: Hello, everyone! King Goody Two-Shoes here bringing you another author's note at the bottom. I decided to bring this chapter up earlier this usual since it feels like forever since it last updated even though it's been four days.
Also like I said in chapter 7, I will make a prequel to this story, but I don't know which season to start off from. I feel like starting all the way back to Total Drama Island, but to me World Tour makes a little more sense with the start of Zane's antics. Let me know in your reviews in where I should start for the prequel of this and thank you for your support on this and any other stories.
