Life Around The World

Drawings, Sumo Wrestling and Danger

Once in the hotel, we went to our rooms and went to grab something to eat. After that, Cali, Sophie and Mina stayed in the lobby and chatted for a while. As for me I went to take a nap up in my room while the boys went to the arcade that was right beside the hotel. " I'm gonna hangout with the guys for a while. I'll see you soon." Hunter said before leaving. "Okay, have fun! I love you." I replied as he came over and kissed my forehead. "Love you too beautiful" He said then he left and I went to sleep. Later on, I was woken up by my phone ringing, I picked it up and answered "Hello?" I said as the voice on the other end said " Hey Gem, Where are you?" It took me a few minutes to realize it was then I realized it was Cali. "Oh hey Cali, I just woke up from a nap when you called." I said then there was a knock on the hotel door, I went to open it and there was Cali along with Mina. " Well good morning sleepy head." Mina said as I let them in the room. We sat down on the beds and started talking when I realized Sophie wasn't with them. "Um, where's Sophie?" I asked as Mina replied " Oh, she went to have a shower." I smiled and we continued talking.

A few hours later, the boys came back with over 100 arcade tickets from games they had played. "So this is what happens when you let four boys go to the arcade alone... They come back with this many tickets in their hands." Mina said as we all laughed. Just then Sophie came in the room. " Hey gu..." She stopped when she saw the boys with a bunch of tickets in their hands. " I'm not going to ask." She said and we laughed. "We're going to cash these in but there's an a drawing class in the art studio if you guys want to go." Jack said. We all looked around at each other and shook our heads. "Okay sure but first, you guys are going to cash those in." Cali said as their faces lit up, they ran down the hall to the elevator and we followed. "Next time there's an arcade near by the hotel, remind me to never let Justin go in there with those three." Mina said as we laughed.

Once we got downstairs, we waited for the boys to come back from the arcade with their prize after that, we went into the art studio and sat down in seats at the back of the class. Then a man appeared at the front and introduced himself and what we would be drawing today. We each grabbed a pencil and started sketching what was up on the screen at the front. "Jack, is this anything compared to what you draw?" Hunter asked as Jack looked over and said " Nope, it's nothing compared to that." We continued drawing until we came towards the last step, my drawing was coming along and looked better than a few of my other drawings I have done in the past. " Wow Gem, looks great!" Callie said as I looked over to her and smiled at her. " Thanks!" I said as everyone else looked at my drawing and made some comments. " Looks better than mine." Brent said as we all looked at his drawing he held up. "Hey, it looks great B man." Hunter said as he thanked him.

After our little art class, we went back to our rooms and dropped our drawings off then we started walking around Tokyo for a while. We then stopped at a restaurant to have lunch. It was a little sushi place and I don't really like sushi but I guess I would give it a shot. We walked in and the host took us to a table for eight. We sat down on these pillows that replaced the chairs and ordered our food. "Mads, I know you don't like sushi so do you want to split a dish with me?" Hunter asked I looked up from the menu and replied "Yeah sure good idea." Then I handed the menu to the waiter. " Guys you know what we should do later, we should go walk the bamboo forest." Sophie said " Why because there are panda bears in there?" Mina asked raising an eyebrow. Sophie kept quiet and then I said " Yeah that's a great idea." The waiter came with our sushi and chop sticks. " Chop sticks again?!? I hate these things!" Mina said and we all laughed " Chop sticks again?!? I love chop sticks!" I said and everyone laughed. We started eating and I made faces while I ate then Hunter noticed my facial expressions and asked me " Is it good?" I shook my head with disgust on my face. " No but I have to eat so this is better than nothing." I replied as I picked up another piece of sushi.

After lunch, we walked to a sports complex where athletes train for Olympics. We walked in and there were some athletes doing training for figure skating on the ice others on the indoor track and in the gym. As we walked by a room, the boys stopped to watch someone having a sumo match with their trainer who was wearing a sumo suit so he wouldn't get hurt. "Yo! We should totally do this!" Hunter said as the girls and I laughed. " What? You don't want to try this?" He asked. " Me try this?!? Hunter have you met me?" Mina asked as we all laughed, we walked into the training area and the boys went to ask if they could try sumo wrestling. "Sure!" The trainer said as he stepped out of the ring. " Just go in that storage room there, put on one of the suits and come back here so I can teach you guys some sumo skills." He said as the boys ran to the room where they stored the suits. When they came back out, they all looked like fat penguins wobbling out to the ring. " You guys look funny!" Sophie said and I laughed.

The trainer placed Jack and Hunter across from each other on the outside of the ring then, he blew his whistle and they both charged at each other while the girls and I laughed watching them trying to get back up on their feet. " Wait until Brent and Justin do this." Mina said to Sophie. The whistle went and Jack and Hunter stepped aside to let Brent and Justin have a turn. " So was that fun?" Cali asked them " That was awesome!" Jack said as a huge smile spread across his face. We watched Brent and Justin as they wrestled and Brent was down on the ground, having trouble to get up. " I need some help here." He said still struggling to get back up. We all stood there laughing as Sophie was taking a video with her phone. " Soph, can you stop recording this and help me up?" He asked as Sophie couldn't stop laughing. The trainer went to help him up and then blew the whistle. Now all four boys went in the ring at the same time to wrestle as us girls watched and laughed the entire time. Hunter had fallen and then Jack jumped on top of him and soon all four boys where piled up on top of Hunter. " Guys, get off of me! I Can't breathe!" He said trying to breathe. The boys got up and went to take the suits off, after that we left and started walking towards the bamboo forest.

After a few long hours of walking, we had finally made it to the forest. Sophie and I ran ahead to find some pandas while everyone was far behind us walking super slow. "Look, a panda!" Sophie said excitedly we quietly walked a little closer to it and took a picture and as we turned around to see if the others had caught up, two guys with huge muscles blocked us from going anywhere and before we could speak, they covered our mouths with their palms. Sophie and I screamed for Brent and Hunter and then the guys picked us up and took us to an abandoned cabin in the woods. The guy placed me down on a chair and tied my legs and arms to it. " You'll never get away with this! You big fat jerks!" I yelled out as the guy slapped me across the face. I looked around to see where Sophie was and when I saw her, she wasn't moving. " Sophie? Sophie, answer me!" I pleaded I looked back up to both of the large guys standing in front of me and asked " What did you do to her?" There was no response and next thing I knew, I was knocked out.

I later on woke up to someone screaming, that screaming it sounded familiar, I opened my eyes to see Sophie panicking tears rushing down her cheeks she looked over to me and with fear in her eyes she asked " Ma...Maddie, where are we? Where's Brent and Hunter and Mina? Where are they?" I didn't know how to answer her so I thought of something to say " I don't know but I'm sure they're out there looking for us." I said to make her feel a little less scared. Just then I felt my phone buzz in my pocket but I couldn't reach it and the creeps were coming back another person with them. "Well, well, well! Ladies I'm sure you both know who I am!." The voice said as both Sophie and I tried to figure out who it could possibly be. Then the shadow came out from the dark and into a small spotlight that's when we recognized who it was. " Raven? What do you want with the both of us?" Both Sophie and I asked. "Let's just say you have something I want and I have something that they want!" She replied with an evil grin.
