Melanie's POV
I had a feeling today would be weird. I mean, what guy sings a love song to a girl then says nothing about it. I'm having such conflicted emotions.
I rubbed my temples and swallowed some migraine pills. I walked outside and saw Chef driving off in his jeep and Duncan throwing a royal hissy fit.
Chris had to take a phone call so Bubble Boy interrupted my train of thought. "Cat, friendship finale 2.0, you in?" He asked while Zoey was shaking her head No.
I smirked internally. "Sure, why not?" I said. Mal got in on it too but Bubbles sounded reluctant.
Confessional
"I'm pretty sure people trust me more than Mal at the moment. Who would suspects sweet innocent Caterina Taylor Valentine of being evil?" I said smirking.
Cat's POV
"As soon as I get out of here, I'm going to..." Mike panted. "You mean if we get out of here." I corrected. "Thank you, Captain Optimistic." He said sarcastically. "Hey, what's at the top of that tower?" Mike asked. "I dunno." I said wide-eyed.
"You see the flying ?'s too, right?" I said. He grabbed one and broke the chain. We cheered and stated running.
We started running and about. 20 ft away, we saw Chester and Muriel selling... skateboards?
Mike voiced my thoughts. "It was Mal and Melanie's idea." Chester said. "Maybe you could help us." I suggested.
Muriel and Chester then started ranting about Mal and Melanie being the whippiest whippersnappers to ever snap a whip and whatever. "OK! Not the point." I said.
In the end, they both agreed to help. We broke their chains and started running to the creepy tower. Oh boy...
Melanie's POV
Chris explained the challenge which was a regatta. I was running beside Bubbles and knew Mal was going to sabotage the other boats.
I jumped on the raft and started paddling with one of the three oars. I looked up ahead and saw Mal get hit on the head with a coconut. HAHAHA!!! Courtney and Gwen's boat got ruined by dynamite. Haha. Alejandro's boat wouldn't start and when it did, he got the boat and me wet.
Cameron pushed Scott in the water and attracted Fang who we used as an engine. Maybe bubble boy is a villain after all. Cameron got upset that he was called villainous. Oh well. We past Gwen and Courtney.
Duncan grabbed the dynamite and jumped off the boat to do something but whatever. I saw Mal ahead and I needed to know if he still loved me. Zoey and Cameron were worried that they were going to catch up to either Mike or Mal. Thanks Duncan for that, by the way.
I took the extra paddle and did the stupidest thing in my entire life. I grabbed on the oar, threw myself over the side of the boat and held on, dangling over the water.
At the top of my lungs, I screamed. "MIKE!" I saw Mal turn around and his eyes widened in shock. "MIKE!" I yelled again. I felt the piranhas snapping at my feet.
I saw him frantically working the gears to get the boat to turn. I Kept screaming and by that time, I was standing on top of the pole. Thank you balance classes!
I felt something grab my waist and next thing I know, I'm in Mal's arms, bridal style. "You love me again." I said. "Who said I stopped?" He said. We walked into the control room and he has his arm around my waist and rested his hand somewhere. "Watch those hands." I warned. He laughed and kissed me. "I missed your Strawberry Chapstick." He said.
"We're almost there!" I said. "Bubbles and Farmboy are loosing badly." I pointed out. He smiled and kissed me. We got in 3rd but I don't care. Chris noticed Duncan was missing just as there was an explosion.
Chris looked through his binoculars. "MY COTTAGE!!!" He screamed like a baby. Courtney was complaining about it was a mansion. Alejandro didn't bring anyone to the Hotel. Dirty Scrub Monkey.
Mal, Alejandro and I made a secret alliance after everyone left. Duncan got arrested and booted off. We voted for Cameron by rigging the votes. "I didn't vote for you." RED said. "Me Neither." I said. Mal just shrugged. I internally facepalmed.
But he didn't go because Duncan went to jail. Whatever he's next. I walked back to bed and waved to Mal. Life was good.
