This will be a short chapter. I may start to work on the next chapter but won't get to post it today. Hope you are enjoying. Please continue to review if you like it.
When Leafstar and Echosong got to the restaurants all the teams had left. Leafstar decided to do the challenge. The food is brought out.
Meanwhile Squirrelflight and Bramblestar read the clue and discover the location of the Pit Stop. We see Autumnsplash saying, "Izmailovsky Park, an estate and park where Peter the Great spent most of his childhood is the next Pit Stop". Squirrelflight and Bramblestar go to their cabbie and ask him if he knows the location and he is not sure but he gives them his phone and they look up the address and give it to him. Shortly after Tigerstar and Scourge find their cabbie and tell him the location. He is not sure but they drive past a hotel and Scourge asks the cabbie to stop for a minute and wait, so they can go in there and get directions. Tigerstar is worried that the wait will definitely put them second but Scourge does not want to risk falling even further behind. They start to argue but then Scourge just gets disgusted and runs ahead of Tigerstar inside the hotel.
A little later, Hollyleaf and Leafpool go to their cab. He is not sure where is the pit stop and he calls someone to get directions. They hope that the cabbie knows what he is doing. Leafpool wonders if they should change cabs, but Hollyleaf says, "We have no indication that he is not getting the right information, we just don't know because he is speaking Russian".
Scourge gets directions and they give them to the cabbie and they leave to go to the pit stop.
Meanwhile, Squirrelflight and Bramblestar seem to be getting closer to the Park/market. There are less buildings and more trees. They are feeling encouraged when they see a sign for Izmailovsky Park/Market. It says 25 Kilometers (away). Hollyleaf and Leafpool hear the cabbie say, "Da, da", a lot. Hollyleaf seems to know that Da means yes in Russian, so both team members are feeling more optimistic about this.
Then we see Reedwhisker and Mallownose go to their cab. The cabbie is not sure where it is but also allows them to look at his phone to get directions. They find the address, give it to the cabbie and then they leave.
Tigerstar and Scourge feel like their cabbie is taking them a convoluted way that is taking a lot longer. They start arguing again and Tigerstar sees the Metro and thinks they should go on it. Scourge is worried that they won't know which line or stop they will need for the Park/Market and no one will speak English to tell them. Finally Tigerstar relents and they continue. A few minutes later they see less buildings and more greenery and start to relax a little.
Jayfeather and Willowshine remember passing a hotel and wonder if it is quicker to take a cab or the metro train. They walk to the hotel to ask.
Squirrelflight and Bramblestar see another sign for the Park/Market and this one says 5 Km away. Jayfeather and Wilowshine discover the Metro is quicker and they get directions. They are told to take the blue line to the Partizanskaya stop. They find out there is a Metro stop not too far away.
Bramblestar and Squirrelflight are at the entrance to the Park/Market. The cab drops them off. They see a red and yellow arrow and they follow that for a few minutes and they see Autumnsplash at the mat. They go to the map. "Bramblestar and Squirrelflight...you are team number...one! Congratulations you won the Express Pass and also another Express Pass to give to another team.
About 10 minutes later, Tigerstar and Scourge arrive at the pit stop. Autumnsplash says, "You are team number...two. Good job". Tigerheart and Dawnpelt go to their cab and they ask the cabbie to borrow the phone for directions and then they are on their way.
About 8 minutes after Tigerstar and Scourge, Hollyleaf and Leafpool arrive at the pit stop, making them team number 3.
About 35 minutes after Hollyleaf and Leafpool, Reedwhisker and Mallownose arrive at the pit stop making them team number 4.
About 4 minutes after Reedwhisker and Mallownose arrive, Jayfeather and Willowshine arrive at the pit stop making them team number 5. Taking the Metro helped them gain some time and get closer in time to Reedwhisker and Mallownose.
We see Millie and Blossomfall discuss going to a hotel to find out about the Metro because they do not want to take another cab. Lionblaze and Crowfeather had already decided to do the same thing.
Therefore 45 minutes and 50 minutes after Jayfeather and Willowshine arrived, Lionblaze and Crowfeather and Millie and Blossomfall arrived making them team 6 and 7 respectively.
Leafstar is in the middle of eating the food when she see Autumnsplash come in to the restaurant. They know that couldn't be good. Autumnsplash says, Sorry, all the teams checked in and you have been eliminated. They are both upset but give each other a big hug and tell each other that they both did a good job.
Here are the standings at the end of Leg 4:
1. Squirrelflight and Bramblestar (Express Pass plus additional Express Pass to give to another team)
2. Tigerstar and Scourge
3. Leafpool and Hollyleaf
4. Reedwhisker and Mallownose
5. Jayfeather and Willowshine
6. Lionblaze and Crowfeather
7. Millie and Blossomfall
The teams find out that they will be going to St. Petersburg in the next leg.
