Not much has happened after Emma decided to restore her relationship with Noah only after the race. It's a small step, but at least they won't be distracted to the point where I'll be driven insane. Although, I heard they won't be in our alliance anymore. It's okay, I mean it's probably for the best. Not only that, but somehow Kitty made her older sister apologize to me about... you-know-what; I'm not gonna say it out.
Because you DO know what happened back there. Moving on...
Sky and I received our next tip from the Don Box. "Looks like we're flying to the Arctic Circle by cessna with three teams per flight." Sky replied after reading from the paper.
It was obvious that we were gonna wait to get on the same flight as Owen and Noah and we did. Unfortunately, we were also aboard the same flight as the Ice Dancers. Joy.
"These tiny planes are safe right guys?" Owen asked us nervously.
One of us was going to answer back, but Josee beat us to it, "I read somewhere that 86% of planes crash." What kind of internet site, magazine, or book did you stumble upon to find that face? Though it was enough for Big Guy to crush Noah.
This was the part where I'm suppose to glare, say something sarcastic, and get Josee to back off. However, Sky was one step ahead of me, "Oh, and where'd you find that fact? Wikipedia? ? A Google Document?" Hey, now that's EXACTLY something I would say. I had no idea she was capable of that, "I didn't know you guys had the brains and skills of a three-day old melted popsicle stick."
Whoa. Savage.
That insult was enough to make me widened my eyes at her. It's saying a lot because I've shot back a lot of junk before the series.
Josee glared at her in response, "Says the athlete whose partner crashed over 14 times while riding a bull."
'Hey!' Is what I would've said in response until the war kept raging on.
Sky laughed in response, "At least mine took like a REAL man and didn't scream like a frightened little school girl." Jacques whistled nervously before he walked off somewhere else. Yeah, we stuck around long enough to hear him scream multiple times to the point where glass would break.
"Oh, yeah?! Well you... he... I... UGH!" She walked off in anger away from us then tended to her partner.
Wow. Sky: 1, Josee: 0.
(Dual Confessional)
Zane: Wow, Sky. I didn't know you had it in you.
Sky: *Smiles* Well, you learn a few tricks when you're with your troublemaking cousin for a while.
Zane: *On the verge of crying happily and hugs Sky* You make me so proud.
We soon arrived to the Arctic Circle from what it looked like the same time as everyone. We were given gloves, sleeves (if needed), hats, and earmuffs. Good thing too because everyone else would've froze to death. I can take temperature heat and cold. But anyway, the Daters were nowhere to be seen so they're probably on their way to the next challenge already.
I took the next tip from the Don Box, "It's a Botch-or-Watch. You're up Sky."
She pulled it from my hand, "Find a ring hidden somewhere in the snow and toss one unto a Narwhal's tusk. Then ride one of the snowmobiles east until you find the next Don Box."
"I got this one homie." Carrie said after taking the tip from the Don Box.
Devin only sighed, "Whatever." Wow, depression's already kicked in. I'm starting to debate whether his breakup with Shelly was a good thing.
The Botchers ran to search for hoops in the snow. It took my cousin a little while to find a hoop, but she was able to get it on the narwhal the first try at the same time Owen was able to get his.
"Yes!" Sky pumped a fist.
"I ringed a narwhal!" Owen cheered.
"Yay!/Nice!" Noah and I synced at the same time.
"Come on!" We ran to the snowmobiles and drove east. Some time passed until the four of us were able to find next the Don Box. In other news, the Daters (for some reason) were going back the other way. Either the Goths got the boomerang we've heard from earlier and used on them, or Stephanie and Ryan did it against themselves. I'ma go with the last one because they haven't been getting along lately from what I've seen and heard.
When we took the next tip from the Don Box and found out we had to saw blocks of snow, build them into an igloo, the race to the chill zone. Wasting no time, we got to work right away.
Still... the Daters boomeranging themselves? How much do you hate your teammate to the point where you WANT to the first challenge over again? That's a question I might never find out and really don't have time to answer.
While we were assembling our igloos, Noah presented a heart-shaped icicle much to Emma's appreciation. Only for a moment, Kitty got her back on track then waved to me for a second, and I did the same thing back. Ah, it's nice to her once in awhile. And I'll be honest, I wish I could spend more time with her... as a friend. Not to tell her... um... just keep reading.
After Sky and I finished, we had our igloo inspected by the native. It was approved giving us permission to the finish line. We arrived to see Don standing there with a semi-depressed look on his face. Man, sadness has been contagious lately, "Y-you're in 3rd place."
"Uh, what's up with you?" I questioned.
"Th-the Ice Dancers c-came in second... and they k-killed Billy!" Don pointed to the smashed snowman on the ground and cried like a baby.
I rolled my eyes in response, "Wow... your best snowman friend being murdered by Jacq and Josee; never even saw it coming." Of course, it was very easy to see that happening.
Not too long, the Sisters and Reality TV Pros came after us in 4th and 5th place.
Sky elbowed me, "Hey, Romeo? When are you gonna make your move?"
I rolled my eyes in response, "When I feel like it like say... oh, I don't know... after the race."
"Don't mind her. It's just Emma," She tried to assure me, "Kitty's way different. You've seen her."
"True." I agreed.
"Then tell her how your feelings... like right now!"
I let out a soft chuckle, "Well, what am I suppose to do? Get down on one knee, put my hands together and say 'Kitty, I just want to let you know that I..." After I did the actions I was saying, I literally stopped what I was doing in that instant and the person right there had wide-eyes with me.
"Uh..."
You guessed it: Kitty.
(Author: Wow! What are the odds of that?!)
"HA, HA, HA!" Sky laughed hard and wiped a tear from her eye, "This is so priceless!" She calmed for a second and started to walk off, "I'll just leave you two alone."
An awkward silence passed us until I broke it by clearing my throat, "So... how's it going with Emma?"
"Um, better than it did last time, but she's still a little distracted by Noah." She answered back, "At least it wasn't like it was back in New Zealand."
I groaned while crossed my arms, "Don't get me started. I mean nerve of her saying why weren't a couple back there."
Kitty replied, "In her defense, she wasn't thinking straight and completely lost her mind." Yeah, so did Courtney back in World Tour and All Stars. She wasn't exactly the greatest person to begin with.
Still, I sighed in response, "I guess you're right. I've never been in a relationship before so...yeah. I have no idea how it even works."
A gasped escaped from her, "Never?"
"Yup. I've always been a free spirit and never been interested into any girl, except for... maybe now." I admitted.
"Really?" She smiled with hope, "Who?"
"Well... uh... you see..." Wow, this is harder than I thought, "I'll tell ya later." I started to walk off.
Even though I couldn't see it, Kitty had disappointment written across her face, "Oh, okay."
(Dual Confessional: Arctic)
Sky: *As Zane bows in head in shame* WHY?! Why didn't you say it was her?!
Zane: It's harder than it looks okay?!
A/N: Man, Zane's really gotta step up his game.
Zane: I'M DOING MY BEST!
Author: ...Sure... whatever you say...
