You know how when I said that the Ice Dancers were planning to make a comeback? It looks like they planning to wipe out the Cadets first until one of their plans went wrong and started targeting another team (a.k.a the Acrobats, us). It started when I took the tip from the Don Box...

"It's an All-In: Bunny Bagging," I read from it, "Collect ten rabbits in a sack then give it to rancher. As an added bonus, the team that captures the rare albino bunny will get to skip the challenge," I snapped my fingers, "HA! This'll be a piece of cake!"

"Let's rock this farm!" Rock exclaimed. We all cheered and ran into the fields.

Sky raised an eyebrow at me, "Are you sure this will be easy, Zane? These bunnies are more vicious than they seem."

I laughed in response, "Oh, come on Sky. Aren't they just cute little animals that roam around, dig their own holes, and mind their own business?"

"AAAAAAHHHHH!" Jacques was screaming in terror as a rabbit attacked him and his partner didn't even care. Alright, so they're a little more dangerous up close.

"Okay, so I might be in a little over my head..." I shrugged, "But we got the Sisters and Reality TV Pros by our side. Right guys?" There were busy already catching rabbits, "Oh, right. Let's hunt some wabbits," An unimpressed look shot my way, "Er... sorry. It slipped out." I found myself scratching my head nervously.

"Sure," She didn't believe me. I didn't even believe myself. We took off into the fields and I grabbed a sack. During that time, Carrie and Sky were talking about how things'll go now that Shelly broke up with Devin. Needless to say, he's gonna go through the stages of breakup. I'm not sure what order it comes in, but it has to do with denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and finally acceptance. Did I leave anything out?

"Come on little bunny, come to the nice little man Zane." I tried to lure a rabbit into the bag. It threw cabbage at me and laughed. I grabbed it tightly in my grasp, "I'll take that as a yes."

We both started grabbing rabbits all over the farm. It WAS harder than it looked in the first place. Sky put me in charge of the bag and I grabbed the last rabbit, "Gotcha little sucker."

"Wow! Did you see that tractor take a dive?" I heard Josee's voice off in the distance. I peeked from the bushes and saw the Ice Dancers and Surfers.

"I wonder who's driving?" Jacques wondered (or should I say acted).

"MacArthur," Josee smiled deviously.

Her partner fake gasped, "That's why I heard her scream, 'HELP ME, BRODY!'."

Brody really gasped in concern, "I'M COMING!" He ran off to the dock.

"Dude, wait! We need to..." Geoff only sighed and gave up the bag to catch up, "BRODY!"

"Oh, look, we've got our ten rabbits!" Josee laughed mischievously. I glared from the distance. That's low. And I know low because I been there.

"OH, so evil!" Jacques agreed.

I gained a smile of my own and laid eyes on my rabbit, "You know, I got something better for ya," I threw a rock near the tree to distract them.

"What was that?"

"I don't know," Josee answered, "Someone must be nearby."

"I heard the noise at the tree," They both inspected around it while the bag was still free.

"Go free your little buddies," I whispered to the rabbit, "Oh, and just so they know who ruined their sabotage, here's a note," I slipped a paper into its paw as I let it go. It scurried along toward the bag and tore a hole through the bag that set the rabbits free.

Man, I'm more evil than those will ever be!

Jacques turned around and gasped, "Josee, look! The sack is empty!" He pointed to the empty bag along the ground.

She turned away from tree and immediately ran over, "WHAT?!" Josee picked up the bag and the note slipped out, "What is this? Congratulations, you're plan to sabotage has been sabotaged by..." She stopped for a moment with wide-eyes twitching.

"Josee, are you alright?"

His answer was met by a scream that could be heard around the fields, "BLACKWOOOOOOOD!"

I chuckled to myself, "Heh, heh, heh... wait," I realized something was supposed to be done. I turned to my sack and saw it was empty, "Aw." '

(A/N: Didn't really think about your sack did ya? Zane: Oh, shut up.)

Of course when I was walking back, that had to be the moment where Sky had confronted me, "So, are we ready to go?"

I scratched my head nervously, "Heh, yeah... about that... uh... I actually have a better idea!" I replaced my expression with a bright smile.

"Okay, let's- wait, what do you-"

I swiftly cut her off, "I was thinking, uh yunno, we hang here longer and catch more of these rabbits. They look so adorable!" I picked one up and it tried to scratch my face, prompting me to pull it away.

Sky frowned, "You said a minute ago-"

"But just think about it! All the rabbits here... we just don't understand them well enough. And if we take some with us and spend time with them, we could make a connection!"

Despite my bright smile, she threw a light glare toward me, "You lost the rabbits didn't you?"

"Pretty much," I admitted, losing my smile and making her sigh, "Don't worry we'll just catch another ten. It'll be easy."

"Will it?" I stopped cold at the familiar voice and turned to see the Ice Dancers glaring daggers at me.

"Oh, hey guys!" I was acting as nothing between us happened, "How's it going? You know, you two looked very good in black back-"

Josee got up in my face, "Don't. Act. So. INNOCENT! We know what you did to back there. You sabotaged our sabotage!"

I waved my hands up in surrender, "Whoa, whoa, whoa! You can't just go around accusing me of doing-" I was cut shortly when she held the note. Now that I think about it, maybe writing that note down was a bad idea, "That could be a different Zane Blackwood."

"Really? How many of them do you know, hm?"

I shrugged, "Well... you see, I've heard of this other Zane Blackwood, who invited people to this island and established the New Orange-"

Her sharp growl cut me off, "Don't act like a smart aleck!" She pressed her finger against my chest, "We know it was you who swiped our chance of taking first place and the gold!"

I raised any eyebrow in confusion, "Gold? What do you mean 'gold'? This isn't the Olympics."

"But it's a competition! There's gold in every single event ANYTIME! And you ruined our chances at winning! YOU ARE GOING TO REGRET EVERY-" She was interrupted when MacArthur came out of nowhere and tackled her to the ground, "Get off of me!"

"Not a chance, sister!" She glared at her.

"It's not you that I'm after! It's HIM!" Josee pointed to me.

"Don't care! You sent me on a wild rabbit chase and now it's come back to haunt you!"

"UGH! YOU RUIN EVERYTHING!" She cried in desperation.

"Don't worry Josee! I got you!" Jacques tried to pull MacArthur off of his partner, but with no progress. Which gave my cousin and I a window of escape.

I bent down and whispered to Sky, "We should leave right now." We proceeded with our escape plan and gunned it away from the confrontation.


(Dual Confessional: Fields)

Zane: You think I made enemies of the Ice Dancers for life?

Josee: *In the background* YOU WILL PAY FOR THIS ZANE!

Sky: Yeah, I'd say so.


After a close call, we tried again to catch another ten rabbits. It was kinda hard to do when you have an enemy who's now breathing down your neck every second. I guess the Ice Dancers now see us as the biggest threat to the game even more the Cadets.

And that's saying something. Those teams had an intense rivalry.

Anyway, we were trying to catch rabbits again and like I said, it was harder than it looked. The good news is the Ice Dancers were having a hard time too. But for me, I tried to get one bunny I cornered from the tree. I lunged at it, it jumped over me, and hopped away. Add the part where my face met the trunk of the tree.

"Wow, this is harder than it looks," I commented.

I got back up and chased the rabbit where it was back and forth until I crashed into Kitty for the moment. I picked her bag, handed back it her, and gave a quick apology before I went toward that crazy rabbit again. It went inside the hole in the ground and I reach for it. Unexpectedly, it was actually just a dynamite stick and I threw it away from me and release a sigh of relief.

*BOOM*

"BLACKWOOOOOD!" Whoops, looks I wasn't watching where I was throwing. Add the part where Josee was now planning my downfall.

Anyway, it took us awhile but we finally collected ten rabbits from the sack. Even better, the Ice Dancers were falling behind us and were getting their just deserts for now. We handed our sack of rabbits to the rancher and he approved of us. He gave us our next travel tip.

"Gilde an asunder from the great down under," Sky read from the travel tip, "We're heading New Zealand."

"Let's go!" I ran off to the toward the gliders. We quickly took off into the air and Sky flew it. No surprise here, her name is 'Sky' for some reason. Might I add, she was a good pilot too.

Once we landed, we race to the chill zone where Don was waiting for us, "Acrobats, you're not in last," We high-fived each other. We came in just about that time Owen, Noah, Emma, and Kitty got here. Eventually our new enemies made it to the chill zone, "Ice Dancers, you're third to last."

"NO-"

Don stopped them from screaming, "Quiet, you'll cause an avalanche."


(Dual Confessional)

Sky: Yunno, those Ice Dancers seemed pretty upset that they nearly lost the race. They'll probably sabotage us any chance they'll get.

Zane: *Smirks* Don't worry about them Sky. I'm sure both of them are over it by now.


(No, they're not)

Jacques: *Glares* We are not over the fact that we came third to last thanks to that pesky rat! And he threw a dynamite stick at my partner. Where did he even get that?

Josee: That doesn't matter right now. We just have to focus on the gold and then we to take Zane and his cousin out of this race permanently *Devious Smile* and nothing will stop us!

*Both Laugh Evilly*


A/N: Wow, those laughs really are unnerving. And I decided to put the Ice Dancers in a different position because they decided to sabotage their way into first. Not a good way to play the game guys.

Josee: *Glares* Oh, WHAT DO YOU KNOW?!

Author: A lot. Anyway, will the Acrobats be able to handle the Ice Dancers as their new enemies? Who knows? They were both able to get to the finals in the previous series. Tune in for the next part of the In-Zane Race! Oh, and review please.
