I think it's safe to say that my Grammarly hated this chapter!
"The banner looks great," said Kali, looking up at the yellow streamer that hung inside Storm Chargers.
"If you had surfing, I would be all over this total trek," said Tori, leaning against the front counter.
Dustin shook his head. "Yeah, that would be fair," he said. "You blowing everyone out of the water?"
"And the problem with that is...?" Tori asked. The Total Trek was an extreme sports competition that Kelly held every year. Last year it included Skateboarding, Motocross, and a mountain bike ride to the finish line. However, this year, Kelly had something different in mind.
Capping her pen, Kelly waved the teens over. "How does this course sound?" she asked, pointing at the whiteboard behind her. "We start at the skate park, then a run to the motocross track, and an urban climb to finish."
"Sounds cool," said Kali.
"You entering, Dustin?" Kelly asked.
Dustin held his hands up and backed away, "I'm never getting on a skateboard again," he said, rubbing his elbows. "I've still got bruises from last year."
Kali, Tori, and Kelly laughed.
"Hey, do you have an entry form for my kick-flip challenge friend here?" Shane asked, entering the store with Hunter in tow.
"Individual or are you guys doing the team competition?" Kelly asked.
"Us, together?" Hunter asked, motioning to himself and Shane with a chuckle.
Shane scoffed. "You'd have a better chance of seeing me on blade skates," he said, folding his arms.
"Just asking," Kelly said, handing Hunter a form. "Well, you're the second one to sign up, Hunter."
"Yeah? Who's first?" Hunter asked.
Shane smirked as Kelly's gaze trailed to him. "You're toast, dirt boy," he said, picking invisible lint from Hunter's shoulder.
"Wait, do you hear that?" Hunter asked, looking around. "It sounds like your hopes and dreams crashing down around you."
Shane laughed mockingly and the pair left.
Kali shook her head as she braced herself against the front counter. "And here we see alpha males in their natural habitat," she said, earning a round of laughter from the others.

"So, wait, you're telling me there is a skating competition happening in Blue Bay Harbour tomorrow, and you're only now telling me about it?" Xander exclaimed. "Why?"
"Because it's not just a skating competition," said Kali. "It's kind of like a Triathlon. You know, where you have to complete three events to win, and last I checked, you couldn't do Motocross."
Xander huffed and folded his arms.
"What's up?" Vida asked, wandering into the Rock Porium kitchen.
"The all great and amazing Xander's pouting because he can't ride a motocross bike," said Kali.
Vida cocked her head to the side. "And why would he need to ride a motocross bike?" she asked.
"So that he can enter the Total Trek competition hosted by Storm Charges tomorrow in Blue Bay Harbour," said Kali "Shane and Hunter are the only two that have entered, but they're so far up each other's asses that they've decided to go at it alone instead of utilising one another's strengths to their advantage."
