Waking up with her head on Alejandro's shoulder was definitely something Venus didn't want. She quickly moves away from him, going to Noah and Owen. Before they can even properly talk, Chef's voice interrupts them through the speakers. They were now landing.

Out in the cold landscape of Yukon, everyone shivered. Well, Chris didn't as he was with a fluffy jacket. To keep themselves warm, the girls hug Alejandro. Except for Venus, who chose to hug Noah, and him hugging back, to keep herself warm, earning a quick glare from Alejandro.

“I was not jealous, okay? She's just trying to distract me! To beat me at my own game!” He smirks mischievously as he narrows his eyes. “What a clever minx she is…”His eyes held a passionate glint that gave him off whenever he talked about her. He was slowly losing it.

Jumping from ice to ice was hard, not because of the gap, but because it's slipperiness. And because of the slipperiness, Bridegtte fell on Alejandro and kissed him ‘accidentally’. The blonde surfer girl blushed and apologized to Alejandro, who acted as if he liked it and had a crush on her. Pretty convincing.

Meanwhile, Venus was helping Noah as he was constantly on the verge of falling into the freezing water. As odd as it sounds, Venus and Noah were bonding over freezing water and slippery ice platforms.

“We're almost there!”

Venus jumps onto the solid snow, Noah right behind her, but falls into the water with Noah as she slips when she lands. Her head pops out of the water with a gasp, climbing out of the water soaked. She helps Noah out as she shivers, the boy in the same state as her.

“F-fuck, I'm sorry, Noah.”

She apologizes, holding her arms over her chest and slouching to preserve her remaining warmth.

“It's okay, you've been better than I was jumping on the ice.”

He reassures her, doing the same things she did to preserve warmth. When they look forward, they see the only sled left, the worst of them all.

“Great, just great.”

Venus walks towards the sled, noticing the radioactive waste containers. Soon, Tyler and Izzy arrive, Tyler volunteers to push the sled, and Izzy jumps into the radioactive waste.

Damn, that girl is crazy.

Noah and Venus get onto the sled, holding onto the containers while standing up.

“Go straight until the red flag pole, Tyler.”

Venus commands, not in a bossy manner, but in a confident way as she takes the leadership of the team. When they stop before the red flag pole, they find a shirtless Alejandro and a pole-stuck-tongue Bridgette. Alejandro gets on the sled in the middle between Noah and Venus, leaving Bridgette behind.

“How are you not frostbitten?”

Venus raises her eyebrow at Alejandro, shivering with cold as she sees him shirtless. Alejandro flashes her a charming smile, leaning a bit closer to her.

“The thought of you keeps me warm, señorita”

“That's a bit too open for interpretation, don't you think, bello?”

Alejandro would be lying if he said he didn't find her Italian accent attractive. His eyes widened slightly before leaning away from her.

Noah raises an eyebrow at their interactions, a feeling that what might be happening between those two could be more than just meaningless flirting.

---------------------------------------------------------

After winning a physically exhausting challenge, Alejandro's team enjoyed the commodities and special treatment of first-class. They all sat on the cushioned chairs with cucumber slices on top of their closed eyes as an intern did their manicure and pedicure.

“Finally, first class again,”

Venus lets out a content sigh, relaxing and allowing the intern to do her nails.

---------------------------------------------------------

Meanwhile, in the elimination area, Bridgette was about to be shoved out of the plane with the pole she was stuck to and the parachute bag, while Alejandro hid behind the Tiki mock statue placed right beside the exit door. He smirks as Bridgette falls out, feeling nothing but satisfaction as she falls.

---------------------------------------------------------

Venus, once her pedicure and manicure are done, decides to grab a cookie and walk towards the losers' class. She hides behind the wall and peaks, finding Courtney sitting alone while writing on a notepad. Venus walks in and sits beside Courtney, flashing her a friendly smile.

“Courtney, was it? I need to tell you something,”

Venus' tone appeared as empathic, but of course, it was fake. She couldn't care less for the love triangle between the two goths and the other one.

“What?”

“I loved you in season one and two, and that's why I feel like I need to tell you this. Ever since action, Gwen and Duncan got… close, like, really close. I would keep an eye on them. She may have a crush on him.”

Venus places her hand on the brunette's shoulder, appearing an ally. Courtney narrows her eyes in anger, not directed to Venus, but to the thought of Gwen and Duncan.

“That goth bitch! She's so eliminated!”

Courtney's face was one of pure and raw anger. She was furious, to say the least. And Venus couldn't enjoy this much more, her plan was going smooth and perfect.

“I'll leave you now, I'm guessing you need some time alone,” without further ado, Venus stands up and walks back to first class, but, she bumped into someone's chest. Alejandro's chest.

“Oh, it's you.”

Venus rolls her eyes and walks past him, but before she can get too far, Alejandro grabs her wrists.

“I thought about what you said about the alliance, and yes, I accept the offer.”

Venus smirks, taking her hand back before properly holding out for a handshake. Alejandro takes it, shaking it for a brief moment.

“It's settled. Good, because I already did half of the work.”

Before she can go, Alejandro moves her hand close to his mouth, kissing her knuckles softly and flashing a charming smile, which is dismissed by a huff, before letting go.

“Ew, ew, ew, ew.” Venus face screamed ‘disgust’ as she washed her hand repeatedly.

⋘ ──── ∗ ⋅◈⋅ ∗ ──── ⋙

Words could not describe how pleased Venus was to sleep on the first class chair. It was practically heaven to her. On the chair beside her was Noah, who was just as happy as she was with the chairs. And facing them was Alejandro, who slept with a burning feeling that was eating him alive.

Oh, he's down bad for her.
