Note: Jayfeather and Willowshine are on the 9:15 flight.
Part 3: Roadblock continued
Tigerheart was looking nervous and he saw Leafpool and Hollyleaf walk in. "Oh no. Another team", said Tigerheart. "Don't worry. You'll do just fine", said Dawnpelt. "He certainly will", said Leafpool smiling. Tigerheart again took a few deep breaths before he did his story. When he looked out into the audience this time, he saw smiling faces. Hollyleaf was busy practicing the story but Leafpool gave Tigerheart a "thumbs up". This time Tigerheart took his time and was more relaxed and did better. When he was done, John said, "Way to persevere, Tigerheart. You have completed the challenge. Here is the clue and enjoy your beer". Hollyleaf had picked out the story about Finn MacCool. John said a cat did it earlier. Hollyleaf asked, "Which one"? John said, "He was a brown striped tabby". "Was he smiling or scowling", said Hollyleaf. "Smiling", said John. "Then great minds think alike", said Hollyleaf.
Hollyleaf went up to do her story. She also got the audience to say the line, "Be quiet or you'll wake our baby". While it was not as enthusiastic as Bramblestar, it was pretty good and she completed the challenge and received her clue and beer. Millie and Blossomfall arrive. They would have arrived before Leafpool and Hollyleaf but their cabbie missed a light. This time instead of arguing about who will do the task, Blossomfall is confident and decisive and says that she will do the task. This time Millie does not disagree. She knows that Blossomfall is a first grade teacher and a pretty good one, so she would be perfect for the task.
Blossomfall picked a story about Leprechauns and practiced it for a bit. At that time Jayfeather and Willowshine. come to the pub. Blossomfall is ready to go to the stage and starts her story. She is excellent. She did a great Leprechaun voice that did not sound like a cheesy version of the Lucky Charms Leprechaun and also had some other funny moments. She did a hysterical jig that had everyone laughing. John was laughing so much, it took him an extra minute to give Blossomfall the clue and the beer.
Jayfeather says, "Under no condition will I do this challenge". "Don't worry, I was planning on doing this one", said Willowshine. "Yes you would be perfect at it. I remember that time you read stories to those housebound premature kits". "I was pretty good at it', said Willowshine as she batted her eyes at Jayfeather. She did a different story than the others. It was called "The Greedy Fox". Willowshine had the perfect balance of being sneaky, creepy and evil as the Fox. She got her clue from John and got her beer and the clue. "You shouldn't be drinking this beer. See this clue. It says you will be driving soon. Let me have it", said Jayfeather. "Please. I always wanted to try a beer. Listen it should take about 30 minutes to get to the airport and probably at least another 10-15 until we find the rental car", said Willowshine. "No", said Jayfeather and proceeded to drink the whole beer. "Spoilsport", said Willowshine but she grinned at Jayfeather anyhow.
At this time, the last flight comes in with Yellowfang and Brokenstar. They have been silent the whole time. They catch a cab who luckily knows the sculpture and where it is.
Slightly earlier, Squirrelflight and Bramblestar had read the clue. We see Autumnsplash saying, "This will be the detour. To go to the detour, each team must drive to Ratheniska/Stradbally in Laois Co. You can get your rent a car at the Dublin airport. You will have a choice between shearing and plowing".
Reedwhisker and Mallownose also read the same clue and catch a cab back to the airport.
Leafstar and Echosong arrive at the pub and Leafstar decides to do the challenge. She does the pooka story and while not as scary as Tigerstar, she did fine and completed the challenge.
Finally Nightcloud and Breezepelt arrive. Nightcloud looks frazzled and Breezepelt looks annoyed. "I cannot believe that cabbie got us lost", said Nightcloud. "What kind of cabbie has not heard of a pub"? "Listen it is done now. I believe Yellowfang and Brokenstar should be at least 40 minutes behind us", said Breezepelt. "And I'm doing this task", said Breezepelt. "Why you have to be so rude. Don't you know I'm a kitty too", said Nightcloud. Breezepelt rolled his eyes and sighed. Breezepelt picked the Changeling story but did a poor job. John, Erin and the others looked bored. "You'll have to do it again", said John. "Breezy baby. I know you can do it. Don't worry", said Nightcloud. "I'm not worried!" yelled Breezepelt. "Just leave me alone".
It took Breezepelt about 4 tries and at that time Yellowfang and Brokenstar walk into the pub. Luckily for Nightcloud and Breezepelt, Brokenstar did not complete it in the first try. He however finished his in the second try. He was way too fast on the first try. Then 2 tries later, Breezepelt finally completed the task.
Stay tuned for Part 4: Detour. Please vote for which team you would want eliminated. I haven't decided if this will be a leg which I will take the votes of the highest scoring team from the poll (of the team you want eliminated). Please check out the poll on my profile page if you have not already done so. If you want to pick another team not from the poll, please PM me and tell me that team. Thank you and please keep reviewing.
