Claire's surprise arrival had shaken the show host and he needed a minute. Chris worked on getting himself composed once more, the contestants all gathered in the planes rat infested mess hall. Claire situated herself at the table, hugging her purse in her lap. Heather was sat on her left and Duncan was across from her.

"So, Princess," Duncan started, sounding casual. "Wanna have an alliance?"

Claire was taken a back by the question. Well, that was bold. Still she should have seen it coming. Her grip on her bag tightened.

"Nope" She said, the p popping as her bag scrunched under her fingers. "I'm good."

"What?" Duncan seemed surprised at how quickly he was shot down. "Why not?"

Claire held up a finger at him and started to list her reasons.

"One. We don't even know the teams yet. Two. I'm already on Courtney's bad side for being related to Chris there is no reason to make her hate me more, and three I shouldn't trust a criminal..."

Duncan winced slightly and put his hands up in surrender. "Yeesh no need to get diplomatic on me, Sparkle Top"

"Can you even spell diplomatic?" Heather asked butting into their conversation, arms crossed and glaring.

"Woah there, She-devil, You stay out of this!" Duncan pointed at her. "I'm just having a friendly conversation with Clairey here"

"Don't call me-" Claire's voice rose only for Chef Hatchets voice to come over the loud speaker at the same time. "-her that!"

Duncan's eyebrows shot up. "How did you get crazy chef hachet on your side?"

"He's-" Claire started to defend him, but Chef's voice once again came over the loud speaker to drown her out. "I'm not crazy!"

"He chased us with dart guns and made us dress like deer!" Courtney snapped at Claire. "Of course, he's insane!"

"It was for the show!" Claire defended him immediately, this time with no interjections from the chef. "Producers thought my bb was getting too full off himself-so they had to make some cut backs."

"Urgh, why are you even here!?" Courtney snapped, nose scrunching pissily. She shot to her feet slamming her hand on the table. She towered over Claire.

"Geez, Courtney, maybe you should settle down a bit...the girl didn't even do anything to you." Cody spoke up, sticking up for Claire.

"Can it Cody!" Courtney snapped.

"How dare you!" Sierra screamed at her. With that Sierra launched over the table at Courtney.

"What-hey get-" Courtney screamed as her hair was pulled. "I'll sue you for assault!"

"Well, I'll sue you for something even worse!" Sierra proclaimed, slamming Courtney's head into the table. "Cit moron!"

"Woo! Rah! Rah! Chick fight! Yeah! Go Sierra, Totally rooting for you girl! Scratch her eyes out. Thats what your nails are for." Noah fake cheered as he pulled out his book. Making Claire smile despite the fact that this argument started because of her. She found him amusing, and couldn't help a little giggle.

"Gosh!" Harold exclaimed jumping into Lashana's arms as the brawling girls almost hit him.

"Don't worry, baby, I got ya, don't worry." Lashana told Harold as she glared at Courtney.

Just then the plane hit a turbulence causing Courtney and Sierra to split apart and Bridget to fall into Alejandro's lap. The blonde surfer blushed. Suddenly the light went out and a spotlight appeared on Chris who seemed ready to resume his hosting duties.

He was wearing a suit and top hat with a cane....the dramatic lighting alone spelled trouble. Claire knew that devious look in her brothers eye. This was going to be hell.

Words were exchanged and Claire's heart clenched, her body tensing in terror as Chris explained that the contestants had to sing.

"Sing" her brother's voice seemed to echo in her head. The words grew heavier and louder with each imaginary repeat. Dread pooled in the pit of her stomach. This was not how she wanted to make her singing debut.

Not in this shitty plane on her brothers shit show. Not with the whole world watching.... staring.... Eyes transfixed on the screen as they scrutinize and point out every flaw within her voice.

The bell chimed, signaling the contestants to begin, but Claire couldn't find the courage to actually open her mouth. She was afraid that if she did, no words would come out.

Gwen: Well, I don't wanna go home. Come fly with us! Come fly with us! Come and fly with us!
Chris: See ya little sister!
Courtney: Duncan, come on! Please?

Claire froze her dark eyes wide. If she didn't sing then .... Her hand curled into a fist and her  eyes shown with determination as she glared at the wickedly smiling face of her brother. She stood up on the table arms spread wide and feet together.

Claire: Come and fly with us.... Because as most of you viewers at home know....." The casts mouths hit the floor when they heard Claire's melodic voice. She sounded like an Angel.

Duncan: This sucks!
Everyone (except Duncan, Claire, Owen, and Ezekiel): Yeah!

"Ha! That's my girl!" Chef's voice came over the intercom. "Great job, Claire!"

"Gurl, I don't know why you were hesitaten  to sing... You're voice is amazing!" Lashanna complimented Claire as soon as the music cut off and chef shut up.

"It's not as good as mine!" Courtney denied, almost instantly. "...But you do have some very small potential in the vocal area." Courtney crossed her arms looking away.

"To egypt we go!" Chris smiled, then frowned as Chef started bad mouthing his musical idea over the intercom.

"Walk it off bb....walk it off." Claire called, wincing knowing chef was about to get an earful.
