Sammy's POV

When we were up we received our next travel tip.

"Looks like we're going to Australia," I read the tip. "Yes!"

--------

Don's POV

"Australia, home to the unique Sydney Opera House, Ayers Rock, and disturbingly cute koalas. Teams must travel by bus to Zimbabwe's Harare International Airport to book their flight to Melbourne. Once here, find this Don box and see what's up down under!" I finished, while saying the last two words in an attempted Australian accent.

Sammy's POV (cont.)

We ran on the bus, and quickly sat down across from Owen and Noah.

"Attention, adoring viewers!" A familiar voice called out. The Ice Dancers wet inside and are now wearing black versions of their usual outfits.

"We are back and stronger than ever!"

"From this point on, the true Olympic Ice Dancers will give you the moment you've been waiting for!" Joseé continued, waving to us.

Sarah raised her hand and called out, "OH, OH! You're finally quitting the show?" Everybody else, even me, laughed in response while the Ice Dancers glared at her.

DUAL CONFESSIONAL TIME (ICE DANCERS)

JOSEÉ

"The purple shade was way too friendly. The black screams 'Get out of our way'."

JACQUES

"And washes with similar colors."

END DUAL CONFESSIONAL TIME

--------

Once the bus had stopped, we all raced inside the airport. The flight turned out to be 13 hours long. Plenty of time for rest and relaxation. But if you're on this show, you know it can't be that long.

"Attention, teams!" Don's voice came over the screen and showed an image of a travel tip with red picture attached to it, "This is a boomerang. Find one attached your travel tip and you can use it at the next Don Box to send another team back to repeat the last challenge."

"We agree that we need to get one of those right?" I whispered, hoping Sarah was on the same page as I was.

"Why?" She spoke quietly in response.

I pointed behind me as I overheard Joseé, "I want one!"

"Why would we want to use it against them anyway?"

"Have you seen the way they've treated this competition? They'll do everything they can to ensure they get first place any chance they'll get. Not to mention, the Dancers see us as a real threat to them winning the game because of our recent top placements, as well as everyone else."

We turned to where the Ice Dancers are seated and noticed them glaring at us.

We waited for 12 more hours until the plane has finally reached Melbourne

"Attention all passengers, we have arrived at our destination," The pilot over the loudspeaker announced, "Please leave in an orderly-" He stopped when all of us were running out the plane, "LET ME FINISH!"
