I'll Meet You There

Day 10

Poppy's POV:

The next morning, after being handed a cup of coffee, Elton told us we would be doing samurai school. We got to the location late, and had apparently broken the first rule. Elton left to pay the parking ticket and Colby glanced at me. "Wanna join me in being a kickass ninja?"

I shrugged. "I guess so. Could be fun

I smirked. "Absolutely."

Colby, Brennen, and I were given ninja outfits. Brennen had somehow managed to put his pants backwards as I tightened mine, since they were falling. Sometimes I hate being petite. Jay wanted me to strike a ninja pose, so I did so momentarily.

Jay got excited about the hand wraps Colby and I were wearing. Elton laughed and I had to bite a laugh back as I saw him. It looked like he was wearing a bathrobe, which caused him to whine.

Brennen joked about Elton's outfit and Elton, in return, joked that he was a penguin. Colby started dancing strangely, causing me to roll my eyes.

Elton wanted a headband, but it was only for ninjas. Jay and Brennen went full Dragon Ball Z. Class started, and we bowed, then us ninjas learned to use or swords and the stances we would need. Next up, samurais.

Colby asked who was better. Ninjas or samurais, and the woman told him the samurais were better. I frowned. "Everyone knows ninjas are better. Is there a game called Samurai? I haven't heard one. That's why there's a game called Ninja, not Samurai."

Elton laughed. "Say what you really think."

Master Yoda, as he'd been dubbed, started showing us some tricks. Our instructors demonstrated how to fight, and then Colby and I went against Brennen. He kicked Colby's butt easily, and I ducked under his legs and kicked his butt. Brennen did Call of Duty style, and pretended to sit on Colby. He then said he didn't like noodles, so Colby "killed" him.

Elton and Jay were up next. Jay killed Brennen and then again. Poor Elton, no matter how hard he tried, couldn't catch a win.

Elton then commented how someone in history had died with their butt in the air. They faced off a third time, and Elton won, and pretended to stab Jay's crotch.

Master Yoda wasn't pleased with our behavior. Frankly, I didn't blame him. He told us we would be throwing ninja stars. Colby went first and a couple hit the paper Jay failed miserably, as did Brennen, and I hit a couple on the target and one slightly off. Elton, unsurprisingly, had to make it a challenge. The loser would have to drive for five hours. Brennen got a couple, Colby failed, and I focused my energy and succeeded.

Brennen and I got a sheet to wear and Elton chose to go full samurai. We said goodbye and thanked our instructors.

We got in the car and got pulled over for a speeding ticket. Jay tried to film, but didn't get to. We managed to get out of the speeding ticket, because the officer knew who we were. Bet that doesn't happen often.

After we checked into our next hotel and found our room. Elton said he'd made a mistake. We were all sleeping on the floor in one room. I instantly walked over to the closet and pulled out a mattress and said, "I like this spot."

Elton made a comment about the Send It shirt Colby was wearing. When the camera was off, Elton asked, "Are you ready, Poppy?"

"For what?" I asked.

"Suicide Forest. Why do you think we drove five hours?"

I frowned. "Wait. We're actually going? No. I won't go."

Elton nodded. "Yes you are. I'll force you."

Colby rubbed my back and said, "If it makes you feel better, I'll be your buddy."
