Safi and Nylah in The Ridonculous Race

Day 1(Part 2)

Our plane has landed in Morocco, and it looks way hotter than I expected.

"Well, here we are pumpkin," Nylah said. "Let's go!"

We head off the plane and found our next Don box. We got the next travel tip that said

The spice is right

It was an all-in. Don explained that an all-in requires that both team members take part in the challenge. We had to choose 5 spices from a kiosk to receive our next travel tip. Those 5 spices are

Cumin

Cinnamon

Paprika

Saffron

Ginger

We went into the interview

/Safi: My mom uses these types of spices all the time in our food. This is in the bag!/

We ran to get a taxi, but I think we might've ran over Owen and Noah.

"Are you guys ok?" I said as we helped them up.

"We're fine," Owen said with a bit of pain in his voice.

We went into a taxi and went on our way to the kiosk.

"Are you feeling all spiced up pumpkin?" Nylah said. I was daydreaming so I didn't hear her.

"Uh, Safi?" She said tapping me on the shoulder.

"Huh? What?" I jumped up blushing.

"What's on your mind Saf?" She asked.

"Oh nothing," I responded.

"Come on Safi, I'm your cousin. Tell me what's up."

"Well," I started. "It's just that, do you think Jr might be into me?" Nylah just smiled.

"I'm pretty sure he is. Just be your sweet, kind self. Beautiful inside and out!"

"Ok." I was really surprised. I kinda expected her to tease or something.

We reached the kiosk. Now, which spices are the right spices?

I looked at all of them. They looked exactly the same! And they weren't labeled. Great! I couldn't tell which was which so I just randomly picked based on color. We got our next travel tip which said that we have to ride to a restaurant, ON A CAMEL!

"Well," I said with disgust. "Let's go get a camel."

We rid the camel all the way to the restaurant. And boy, that was NO picnic. They were so smelly, and there were flies everywhere.

"Ugh!" We both groaned. Maybe there's an oasis nearby or something.

We finally made it to the restaurant and saw the Don box. Thank goodness! I thought I was gonna pass out from heat exhaustion!

I got the travel tip that said that it's a botch or watch.

Just stew it

Hand your spices to the chef he can add them to the bowl of Moroccan stew which one of you must eat.

When you finish your stew, race on foot as fast as you can to the chill zone because the last team to meet me here will be cut from the race.

Hopefully, I picked the right spices. I was staring at the tip with sweat all over my face and red as a tomato.

"Don't worry pumpkin," Nylah said. "I'll eat it."

We gave the spices to the chef and he made the stew. Nylah started drinking.

"Is it too hot?" I asked worriedly.

Nylah shook her head no.

While she was finishing her stew, I saw the ice dancer lady finishing up her stew and her partner looked very impressed.

"A wonderful performance of grace of efficiency." He cheered. "Bravo!"

"Yes! Bravo!" I said clapping. "Say, have I seen you two before?"

"Of course you have!" Said the lady. "We've been everywhere!"

"Of course I have!" I said. "Silly me!"

"Safi!" Nylah called out with her bowl in the air.

"Oh, you're done! Let's go!"

We raced and raced to the chill zone. And we finally made it!

"Cousins, you're in 4th!" Don announced.

"Yes!" We cheered hugging each other. I never thought we would actually make it that fast.

"This is the best!" Nylah cheered.

Aftermath

After we got our place, it looked like Nylah had a cramp from the stew.

"Are you ok Ny?" I asked. "You don't look so good."

"I'm good." She said holding her stomach.

"That's nothing sister!" Said one of the police cadets. "You're just like my partner here."

"You're only saying that because you didn't drink it," I said pouting.

Then, I saw Jr and his dad finally here. I came up to them.

"Is your dad ok?" I asked Jr.

"He's ok," He answered. "That's just from drinking the stew so powerfully."

"Oh, I see." I saw him with his eyes all crooked and weird. "Well let's just say that my cousin here had some ending results from the stew too."

I showed Jr Nylah holding her stomach.

"But don't worry, she's fine. So why did you decide to do the race."

"Well," He started. "I didn't really want to do this. But now that I am, I might as well bring the action. If you know what I mean." He had a charming look on his face. "So, what's a girl like you doing here anyway?"

I giggled a bit as I blushed at that statement. "Well, I came here to spend time with Nylah. I thought I was gonna be the only youngster here, but guess not!"

Jr's dad came to me. "Hey, Jr. I don't mean to bother you and your little friend here but, my old vision's back."

"That's great!" I said. Jr. looked a little embarrassed. "And it looks like Nylah feels a lot better. Well, we better get going. Bye!"

We waved to each other and went on our ways. This was our first day on the race, who knows what our next challenge will bring us to?
