User:The Flaming Sword of Fury/RR Chapter 2

“Last time on The Ridonculous Race, 18 teams started a race around the world. After a lot of running, waiting, even more running, confronting fears, and pushing themselves further than I thought possible; everyone reached the airport and booked themselves on three different flights heading to one destination, Morocco. Flight number 1 with 6 teams aboard has already departed, flight number 2 is about to take off, and finally those stuck on flight 3 will have to wait another hour before their flight even leaves the ground. Will one of these teams end up being the first ones kicked off and suffer the ultimate reality TV humiliation? It’s time to find out, here on The Ridonculous Race!”

(theme song plays)

“12 teams are on their way to Morocco as we speak. However, the last 6 teams are still in the airport wait anxiously.” Don narrated.

At the airport, Jay and Mickey were both offering each other random items to pass the time before they were suddenly interrupted by the LARPers.

“Greetings gentlemen, what say you to amalgamation of adversaries, a weaving of wizards and doppelgangers to rule them all?” Leonard offered. Tammy threw confetti around from a bag which caused Jay to freak out about how he was allergic to them and Mickey ran off after him soon after.

Tammy watched the two with a slightly sheepish expression on her face before Leonard turned back to her and said, “Well, it seems as if our proposition has gone unanswered, swell teammate, we shall go to another team!”

Meanwhile as the two went off to find another team to bother with their proposition for an alliance, Chet was currently arguing with his mother over the phone

“Mom, this plan of yours is incredibly stupid! Like, ultra-mega dum dumb! Lorenzo and I aren’t going to simply stop hating each other because you made us join a TV competition. He’s not even a good choice, I’d rather have my dog!” He yelled.

Lorenzo came over to him and asked, “Are you talking to my dad?” Chet simply shook his head to which Lorenzo grabbed the phone from him and yelled, “Dad you gotta ditch Chet’s mom. Chet smells like a goat and he snores really fricking loudly when he sleeps. He’s also an annoying dooface!”

“Hey, give me that phone, goofus!” Chet tried grabbing the phone from Lorenzo which only resulted in the two boys fighting yet again. The LARPers were coming near them before they saw the fighting.

“Walk away, Tammy, just walk away…” Leonard said with an uncharacteristic serious look on his face. He returned to his cheerful mood when he walked up to the goths and spit on them as he said, “Salutations! We wish to propose an unstoppable, adjoining of alchemy and alabaster to vanquish those who DARE to cross us! What say you?” The goths simply sighed and walked off. Tammy threw yet another handful of confetti before Leonard said, “Careful Tammy, we only got one bag of the stuff…” The two saw the Geniuses near them and smiled.

They smiled, and Leonard opened his mouth to speak before Mary cut him off, “Your willingness to form alliances with everyone you meet is indeed very endearing. However, my partner and I would have to refuse your request, we promised not to form any alliances with anyone on this competition and we will not break that oath. Understood?”

Tammy and Leonard simply nodded their heads sadly and walked off to bug the Surfers about an alliance. Tammy then stopped in her tracks and ran back to Mary, “Can we at least throw confetti at you?”

Mary shrugged and said, “If that makes you feel any better, I guess…” Tammy grinned and threw confetti while squealing. She thanked Mary and ran back off to her friend.

(Team Interview: Leonard and Tammy)

“Tammy and I first met in the ninth grade and we were immediately very close.” Leonard said. “We were stuffed into the same locker by the same bullies. We were in there for around 4 hours or so before the janitor got the bolt cutters and got us out. Plenty of time to form a close friendship.” Tammy said.

(Team Interview Over)

“Morocco, originally named Italy until it was discovered that there was a place already called Italy. Home to scorchingly hot foods as well as scorchingly hot deserts. Flight number 1 has just landed, now the teams just need to find the Don Box and collect their next travel tip.” Don said.

Josee and Jacques were the first team to press the Don Box and collect the travel tip, Jacques read it and cheered, “The spice is right: It’s an All-In!”

“An All-In requires that both team members participate in the challenge. In this case, teams must make their way to a spice kiosk and choose 5 spices from the bountiful array. Some are sweet, while some will make your mouth burn!” Don explained.

Owen and Noah were in the middle of reading their travel tip, when they were trampled by the other teams who were trying to find a taxi.

In the Father/Son taxi, Dwayne said, “Wohoo! See that, we’re in a taxi and headed right for spice town! Oh, we’re having such a great time, aren’t we Junior?” The boy simply sighed in response to his father’s question.

(Team Interview: Dwayne and Junior)

“Hi, I’m Dwayne and this is Junior!” Dwayne introduced.

“They know that dad…” Junior pointed out.

“We’re the father and son team.” Dwayne continued.

“They know that too dad!” Junior said.

“Oh, but we’re also gonna win this thing, betcha they didn’t know that eh sporto?” Dwayne finished.

(Team Interview Over)

“Even after Total Drama World Tour, I’m still scared of flying. So much so that I even brought myself a teddy bear! His name’s Beary!” Owen said while showing off his new stuffed animal.

“Noah doesn’t exactly like him, but he LOVES Noah I can assure you of that, don’t you Beary!” He said while pressing Beary against Noah who simply gave an unamused stare.

During their flight on the plane, Jen was reading a fashion magazine and spotted a dress she liked. “Ooh, I’d look really good in that, don’t you think Tom?” She turned to her friend, who was sleeping and snoring rather loud. She was annoyed by this, and placed the oxygen mask to block the noise out. Suddenly her stomach started feeling funny. She quickly checked that the seatbelt sign was off, got up, and started making her way over to the lavatory.

Just as she was walking towards the door, she heard footsteps coming closer towards her and felt a sudden shove against her back. She was pushed slightly forward but managed to stop herself in time before hitting the wall.

“Oops! I’m so sorry, are you alright?” An unknown voice called. Jen looked up and saw it was Laurie from the Vegans team.

“I’m fine…just, don’t let that happen again, ok?” Jen groaned. Laurie looked at her awkwardly and said, “Of course…if you don’t mind, I’m just going to go now.” Laurie opened the lavatory door and shoved it closed.

“Well…that was awkward…” Jen muttered to herself. While it had taken a little while, she had managed to get to the bathroom. Once she returned to her seat, a now awake Tom looked at her concernedly.

“You were gone for a while Jen, is everything ok?” He asked.

“Everything’s fine, Tom. Now tell me, how do you think I’d look in this dress?” She pointed to the dress she was looking at earlier. Tom said nothing, but gave a smile and nod of approval.

“But still, you weren’t conversing with any other teams were you?” Tom asked.

“Don’t worry about that Tom, I wasn’t. We made an agreement to not align with anyone on this race and we’re going to stick to it. Besides which, there’s no one on this flight with good taste.” Jen said looking at her magazine.

Meanwhile, Rock and Spud were eating sandwiches with Rock looking especially nervous.

“Spud and I have never exactly been on a flight before. However, I’m not scared though, Spud and I have seen plenty of planes on TV!”

Spud bit into his sandwich before saying, “That cartoon was like…. really great man!”

Over at the spice kiosk, the Best Friends, Cadets, Tennis Rivals and Ice Dancers had managed to reach the kiosk. Immediately MacArthur expressed confusion at the lack of labeling while the Best Friends immediately started picking theirs out, “It’s this one! This is cinnamon, this is cinnamon!” Carrie squealed.

(Team Interview: Carrie and Devin)

“Cinnamon, cinnamon, cinnamon!” Devin imitated Carrie with his hands up and his eyes going crazy.

“Aww come on,” Carrie said pushing him a little, “You know you would have missed it! I’m the queen of cinnamon lattes.”

“Yeaaah…” Devin said uncomfortably, “Which you constantly spill on me, an awful lot, I’m used to the smell due to that.”

“Fair enough, I’ll never doubt your ability to detect cinnamon again!” Carrie said. Devin tugged at his collar a little and looked at Carrie like he wanted to say something, but couldn’t.

(Team Interview Over)

Jacques and Josee managed to get all their spices and got their next travel tip, alongside the other teams.

“We have to ride to a restaurant, on A CAMEL?” Jacques cringed in disgust. They looked at a nearby camel and he and Josee both exchanged looks of despair.

“Is there a restaurant around here?” Sanders asked, when the owner didn’t respond she moved closer to him and said, “A REST-A-RAUNT WE LOOKING FOR EAT- “She started before being stopped by MacArthur.

“Easy Sanders, he’s not deaf, just can’t understand English well.” She said, before repeating Sanders’ earlier action and said, “I AM SORRY! APOLLAGAZIO! You understand?” Sanders simply rolled her eyes at MacArthur’s action.

Later, the teams had started riding their camels.

“Oh man do these camels stink!” Carrie said. MacArthur secretly sniffed her armpit before realizing it was her that stunk, she chose not to reveal this and said, “Uh yeah, it’s totally the camels!” She said.

“As the first team heads off into the desert, flight number 2 has landed in Morocco.” Don said.

The teams from flight number 2 immediately grabbed their travel tips and started grabbing taxis.

“I know a lot about spices. I eat them in restaurants.” Stephanie said as the camera cut to her and Ryan’s taxi.

“She does, you do, and I love that you know about them!” Ryan said.

“Oh my gosh,” Stephanie squealed, “I love that you love that I know about them!”

“Perfect! But you wanna know what else I love?” Ryan didn’t let Stephanie respond before planting a kiss on her lips and the two immediately started making out again.

Meanwhile over at the spice kiosk, Dwayne and Junior, and Owen and Noah had managed to finally arrive. Owen however was busy trying to figure out which spices to pick, much to the annoyance of the other team and his partner.

“WHY DO YOU ALL LOOK THE SAME?!” Owen cried which caused everyone but Noah to look at him in shock. He then ran off screaming.

“Oh no, the other teams are coming we’re going to lose our lead!” Junior said.

“Uh…let’s pick any spices at random!” Dwayne said.

“Hmph, that actually works for me. Come on Owen, let’s do what they’re doing.” Noah said to his slightly still shaken friend.

“Give us the five closest to you,” Noah said to the kiosk owner, “My partner will eat anything. I once saw him eat a shower curtain.”

“It had pictures of cupcakes on it…. Mmmm cupcakes…” Owen said dreamily.

(Team Interview: Laurie and Miles)

“I had a huge hunch that Don was going to make us do an eating challenge, so I felt that it was important that we picked out the right spices.” Laurie said.

“Yeah, I wonder what exactly we’re making?” Miles said.

“Who knows,” Laurie shrugged, “So long as it doesn’t have meat in it, I’m fine.”

(Team Interview Over)

“Cinnamon, paprika, saffron, ginger, cumin!” Laurie exclaimed, the owner handed her the bag of spices and she smiled gratefully.

Stephanie sniffed one of the spices and said, “Wait…I think this is what we’re looking for, cumin.” The owner of the kiosk started to scoop before Stephanie stopped him.

“Yes, wait, uh uh, no…wait YES! No! Yes! SCOOP IT!” Stephanie said.

“As more teams reach the spice kiosk, flight number 3 has finally arrived! They’ll need to hurry if they hope to catch up to the other teams.” Don announced.

In the desert, Owen and Noah and Dwayne and Junior had finally gotten their camels and were in search of the kiosk. Dwayne hit the camel to go faster, but it only grew more tired until it finally passed out.

Back at the spice kiosk, Emma and Kitty were trying to figure out which spices to pick.

“Let’s see…cumin cumin cumin.” Emma mumbled.

“Maybe it’s over here.” Kitty pointed.

“This is no time for games Kitty, we’ve got a race to win…So, I think…this is cumin?” Emma pointed to a random spice.

“How come you can guess but I can’t?” Kitty asked.

“Because, one I’m older and therefore much wiser than you. And two, my guess is an educated guess, now hurry up! We cannot lose this race because of you throwing a temper tantrum!” Emma shouted.

Emma ran off, and Kitty shot a very angry look towards her, “Whatever you say sis…” She muttered angrily. Ellody saw Kitty’s reaction and turned to Mary.

“What an interesting reaction, we’ll certainly have to look at how this relationship develops in the future…” She said. Mary simply nodded in agreement.

Jay and Mickey sniffed their spices, “Is this one cinnamon?” Jay asked and started sneezing uncontrollably afterwards.

“Ok, that’s cinnamon, let’s not pick that one…” Mickey groaned.

(Team Interview: Jay and Mickey)

“We were trying to get the spices Jay is least allergic to.” Mickey said.

“Yeah, I had this weird feeling it would be an eating challenge, and I fortunately can stomach somewhat more than Mickey can. Especially spices…” Jay said.

(Team Interview Over)

“Do you accept dragon coins as a form of legal tender?” Leonard said to the kiosk owner as he offered him a handful of golden doubloons.

(Team Interview: Leonard and Tammy)

“Finding a taxi was tough,” Leonard said, “There were so many rude taxi drivers who wouldn’t accept our coins as a form of payment!

“Hah, they’ll rue the day when Armetheus the dragon ruler takes the throne and rules all over earth!” Tammy exclaimed, “I can’t believe that one guy made fun of your wizard’s cloak and called it an ugly color with a grey beard taped to it! It’s completely sage like!”

“Pfft, I know right? Some people are just blind to my wonderful fashion sense!” Leonard exclaimed and Tammy slightly cringed, but still smiled supportively.

(Team Interview Over)

Over in the desert, Laurie and Miles were walking their camels with a makeshift leash as opposed to riding it like the other teams.

(Team Interview: Laurie and Miles)

“Our camel was absolutely beautiful, and deserts are absolutely scorching. We didn’t want to tire it out by riding it, so we chose to walk it instead! If we win the million, we’re launching a stop riding camels campaign!” Laurie said.

“Yeah, I’ve decided to call it, “Take Hikes Not Humps!” Miles cheered.

“Uh…or maybe we can call it something else. Not that I don’t like your idea it’s just, maybe we can find a better name to call it!” Laurie exclaimed. Miles looked at her suspiciously, but nodded anyway.

(Team Interview Over)

The Cadets had managed to be the first team to reach the restaurant. When they did, MacArthur fell off her camel and groaned, “Ugh, can someone please turn off the sun?!”

Sanders pressed the Don Box and read the tip, “It’s a Botch or Watch: Just stew it! Give the spices to the chef so he can add them to a Moroccan stew which one of us must drink. Once the team member is finished, run as fast as you can to the Chill Zone because whoever is last will be cut from the race!” MacArthur panted and said, “You should probably do it, I feel too hot to drink any stew!”

Sanders nodded and handed the bag of spices to the kiosk owner. The Best Friends and Ice Dancers followed them with their bags in hand.

“Come on Bun Bun! Don’t let us down!” Josee said to her rabbit’s foot.

(Team Interview: Jacques and Josee)

“I’ve always believed that this rabbit’s foot is responsible for everything good that has ever happened to me! I always rub it for good luck, before shows, before tests, anything really!” Josee said enthusiastically.

“Can I rub it?” Jacques asked.

“Ha ha, of course you CAN’T!” Josee became overprotective and swatted Jacques’ hand away from the rabbit’s foot.

(Team Interview Over)

Dwayne and Junior were struggling with their camel when they saw Tammy and Leonard passing by them.

“I don’t wish to insult you, but it’s easier to be your own guide!” Leonard said.

“Gee thanks! I really appreciate it!” Dwayne said angrily.

“You’re weeeellllllcommmmme!” Tammy chirped, oblivious to Dwayne’s anger.

They were passing by the Vegans, and offered a word of greeting.

“Take hikes not humps!” Miles shouted.

“Uhhhh, yeah, what she said!” Laurie agreed, the LARPers looked at them both oddly before continuing on their merry way.

(Team Interview: Laurie and Miles)

“Miles and I met at an anti-meat meeting.” Laurie said

“When Laurie suggested we’d call them -ings, instead of meet-ings, I knew we were gonna get along!” Miles said.

(Team Interview Over)

The Cadets, Best Friends, and Ice Dancers had managed to get their stew. As Devin was drinking his, Carrie was watching him from afar dreamily.

(Contestant Interview: Carrie)

Carrie turned to the camera as Devin began to drink his stew and began to speak, “Ok, so I’ll admit…I’m in love with Devin. And I have been, for quite a long time, it all started when he peed in my turtle pool when I was four. I want to tell him how I feel, but he also has a girlfriend.” Carrie blinked in realization.

“Who’s almost likely going to see this, ugh, I’ve really done it this time!” Carrie said.

(Contestant Interview Over)

“Yeah! I finished! Wohoo!” Devin cheered and held up his bowl. Carrie ran up to him and hugged him.

“Come on, we’re in first place!” Devin said and the two started running towards the chill zone.

Meanwhile, Sanders was slowly sipping the stew and MacArthur was slowly growing impatient.

“You need to eat faster” She snapped. Sanders simply looked at her and said, “This is how civilized people eat.”

“Who cares about civilized? This is a game, now chug!” MacArthur tipped the bowl and the stew started chugging down Sander’s throat. Eventually the stew was finished but there was some residue on Sanders’ face, MacArthur quickly wiped it off with the napkin Sanders had been using.

“All done! Now, let’s hustle to 1st place!” MacArthur said. At the same time, the Ice Dancers had also managed to finish their stew.

On their way to the chill zone, Carrie tripped over a rock and hurt her leg, Devin looked at her and said, “You need a hand homie?” He carried her in his arms.

“Here you go, I’ll carry you to the chill zone, ok?” He said. Carrie chuckled and blushed at the way he was carrying her.

While the chef was cooking Geoff and Brody’s stew, Geoff turned to Brody and said, “You know dude, it’d be really wicked if we could get like a funnel or something. That way you could chug it down!”

“Normally I’d agree, but we don’t have any funnels, man.” Brody replied.

“Don’t worry about that man, just leave it up to the Geoff-ster! Hey chef dude!” He waved to the chef who turned to face Geoff, “Do you think we could like, get a funnel for this or something?” He asked, the chef simply shook his head.

“Aww man, what a bummer.” Geoff said.

Meanwhile, most of the other teams had started to drink their stew. The tennis rivals were nearly finished with theirs before Gerry quipped, “You know, I thought that I had more tolerance to spicy foods but look at you, you’re chugging right along.

“More tolerance? Hahaha, 30 years ago you said a mildly hot buffalo wing was too much for you!” Pete said after he finished his stew, the two quickly ran to the chill zone.

“You go Ryan! Show that stew you’re the man!” Stephanie said as she clung to her boyfriend.

Meanwhile, Brody and Mary were both chugging their stews which gave their partners the opportunity to have a conversation.

“When I met Brody, he was eating a cat’s hairball on a dare, haha! It was pure awesome!” Geoff said.

“I met Mary at a potluck dinner, we both brought pi chart pie. It was quite whimsical hehe.” Ellody said.

“Hah, I get it, that’s funny.” Geoff said.

On their way to the chill zone, Sanders started having a stomach ache.

“Ugh…I think I got a stew cramp.” She moaned. MacArthur looked at her and said, “Never leave a man behind!” She picked Sanders up and started carrying her over to the Chill Zone.

Meanwhile, Emma was slowly slurping her stew, Kitty encouraged her to keep going, and she simply looked at her uneasily in response.

(Team Interview: Emma and Kitty)

“I think we may have chosen some of the wrong spices…” Emma said.

“Um, but you were the one who chose them.” Kitty pointed out to which Emma glared at her.

“Which I mean, you know, is way better than I would’ve done, since I probably would have just guessed heh heh….” Kitty said sheepishly.

(Team Interview Over)

Tom was also trying to chug his stew down, to which Jen rose her hand to stop him.

“Whoa Tom, you’re chugging way too fast. You don’t want to get that stew all over that shirt…” She said.

“Gasp, you’re right! I just got this one dry cleaned too!” He exclaimed.

“Can you see the chill zone, homie?” Devin asked Carrie as he was running, still carrying her.

“No, I think we’re lost actually” Carrie said.

Devin kept running faster and faster, until Carrie pointed and said, “Look! I see it!”

“Welcome to the Chill Zone.” Don greeted, “You’re the first team to arrive!”

Devin put Carrie down and started jumping for joy with her in excitement.

“Yes we did it!” He cheered.

(Contestant Interview: Devin)

“Ok, I’d just like to say that the way I was holding Carrie earlier does not mean anything. Shelly, I know you’re watching and probably confused, but I’m a one woman man, I belong to you! So whatever Carrie says about me when we get back, does not mean I’m cheating on you. I love you, and I miss you so much!” Devin exclaimed.

(Contestant Interview Over)

Carrie hugged her friend and said, “First place! Who would’ve thought?”

Devin smiled and said, “Haha, I know right? I just wish I could tell Shelly about this!”

While the two were celebrating their victory, Owen was barely managing to drink his stew.

“I- I need water!” He screamed. His eyes locked on a camel drooling and he ran over and quickly slurped it. Most of the other teams in the area looked at him in disgust and some of them even puked. The LARPers and Vegans, who had finally arrived saw the sight.

“Wait, is the challenge to eat our own barf?” Leonard said. This caused the Vegan’s camel to puke over Miles.

“Oooooh, organic camel muck!” Laurie exclaimed, looking excited.

Meanwhile, the Cadets were rushing to the chill zone quite quickly. They heard footsteps behind them and it turned out to be the Ice Dancers. As MacArthur was staring at them, they quickly passed her.

“Well, that’s just creepy…” She said.

The Ice Dancers had a lead until Jacques bumped into a tree, which resulted in Josee being dropped into a bush and the Cadets regaining their lead over the Ice Dancers.

“Later skaters! See what I did there? Because they’re skaters.” MacArthur explained.

“Y-Yeah, I got it, now can we please get to the chill zone?” Sanders said.

The Daters, Surfer Bros, and Geniuses had managed to finish their stews and started heading to the chill zone. Owen managed to drink the entire stew finally and said, “D-done, finally, now can we get some milk?”

“No time buddy, we gotta go!” Noah said as he started running.

The Cadets and Ice Dancers were both neck and neck for the race to second place. They seemed to be gaining a lead over the Cadets before MacArthur leaped onto the chill zone.

“Well done! You’re second!” Don cheered. He looked over to the Ice Dancers who had walked onto the chill zone and said, “Ice Dancers, you probably hear this a lot but you’re third.”

“Oh…that’s just fine…” Josee said with a twitch of annoyance.

(Team Interview: Jacques and Josee) Josee is offscreen, throwing a temper tantrum and breaking things off screen.

“Um, my partner is…very passionate about her talent…” Jacques said sheepishly and chuckled.

“WHAT’S SO FUNNY JACQUES!” Josee screamed.

“Um…nothing!” Jacques said.

(Team Interview Over)

Just as the Ice Dancers got off the Carpet of Completion, the Tennis Rivals ran on panting and looking stressed.

“Tennis Rivals, you’re fourth!” Don cheered much to the duo’s relief.

“Fifth!” Don said as the Daters stepped on the mat. Stephanie hugged Ryan and the two started making out yet again.

“Ok…this is getting ridiculous, off the carpet…” Don said, the couple obeyed and the surfer dudes quickly ran on the carpet.

“Sixth!” Don said and the two cheered in celebration.

“Seventh!” Don said to the Geniuses, who simply smiled.

“Eighth!” A picture of Owen and Noah were shown.

“Ninth!” A picture of Rock and Spud was shown.

“Wohoo! 9th place, we’re killing it man!” Spud cheered and offered Rock a high five. Rock smiled and high fived him back.

“Tenth!” A picture of the Fashion Bloggers was shown

“You’re 11th place!” Don cheered. Emma looked annoyed and turned to her sister.

“Ok, you SERIOUSLY need to start pulling your weight around here. We’ve got 11th place!” She exclaimed.

“I-I would love to help in anyway I can, just tell me what to do and I’ll do it!” Kitty said.

“I’ll tell you when you can help, I can’t have you goofing off on me like you always do.” Emma said with a frown. To this, Kitty only sighed in disappointment.

Meanwhile, the Father and Son had finally managed to arrive at the restaurant.

“Get up Dad! You have to eat this stew!” Junior said to his dad looking concerned. Dwayne simply groaned in response.

(Contestant Interview: Junior)

“I didn’t sign up for this show, it was my mom’s idea. But now that I’m here, I don’t want to be the first team out!” Junior exclaimed.

(Contestant Interview)

“Dad, come on! Do you really want to be the first team out?” Junior said.

“Y-y’know, you have a point sporto…just give me five more minutes.” Dwayne said.

“My mom’s done!” Taylor cheered as Kelly held her stomach in pain. While Taylor started sprinting to the chill zone, Kelly was moving rather slowly.

“Not so fast dear.” Kelly said.

“We’re done! Finally, it’s about time you finished slowpoke!” Lorenzo said.

“Ughh…don’t call me homie….you, you... Oww my stomach is in too much pain to come up with a comeback…” Chet said.

“That’s because you ate your barf, plus did you see the way you were chugging that thing?” Lorenzo said. Chet glared at him, but said nothing.

“Dad come on! It’s like you told me, never say quit!” Junior said to Dwayne who was still lying on his camel.

“Actually pal, it’s never say never…” Dwayne corrected.

“I don’t really listen to you, just get up and eat.” Junior said.

Back at the chill zone, the twins had finally managed to reach the carpet.

“Twelfth!” Don said.

“Twelfth? Wow, I thought we were going to get last for sure…” Mickey said to Jay.

“Yeah, it’s a huge shock.” Jay agreed.

“Thirteenth!” A picture of Mom and Daughter was shown.

“Fourteenth!” A picture of the Goths was shown.

“Fifteenth!” A picture of the Stepbrothers was shown.

Back at the restaurant, the Vegans and LARPers had gotten their stews and were beginning the challenge. With some effort, Dwayne managed to get up from the camel finally, but their stew was still in the process of being made.

After a little while, the stew was ready but it was so hot that a flame came out of it much to the shock of the father and son team. The two quickly ran to the area in which the other teams were drinking their stews, “Dad you gotta hurry, we’re in last place!” Junior said.

“Ahh don’t worry Junior I should be fine” Dwayne said as he started drinking. As this was happening, the LARPers had managed to finish their stew and ran off with another throw of confetti from the bag. Dwayne saw this, took the bowl and started chugging the stew down his throat. He managed to get it down, but he become temporarily blind as a result.

“Great…” Junior said, he took his father’s hand and started hustling towards the chill zone.

While this was occurring, the Vegans had finished their stew and were starting to catch up to the LARPers.

(Team Interview: Laurie and Miles)

“It’s so early in the race, it would be such a shame to get cut first.” Laurie said.

“But I managed to give the camel my email address so I hope we stay in touch.” Miles said.

“Do camels even have the ability to access computers?” Laurie asked.

“I don’t know, maybe they have their own type of computer…like a camelputer?” Miles said.

(Team Interview Over)

(Team Interview: Leonard and Tammy)

“They were catching up to us so fast…we had to use some magic! Luckily my forcefield spell has grown stronger over the past 3 years and I have my trusty ocarina, so we should be in good hands!” Tammy said.

(Team Interview Over)

Leonard and Tammy looked at each other and grinned evilly. Tammy took out an ocarina and chanted, “Song of Slumber!” She played her ocarina and Leonard pulled out his wand and started chanting a forcefield spell. Much to their dismay, the other two teams passed them with absolutely nothing happening.

Leonard realized that nothing was happening and stopped Tammy by placing a hand on her shoulder. She opened her eyes and saw they were the only two teams there, immediately they began rushing as fast as they could towards the Chill Zone.

It was a three way race to the chill zone between the Vegans, LARPers, and Father and Son team until the Vegans landed on the Carpet of Completion.

“Sixteenth!” Don said to the Vegans. Miles hugged Laurie and cheered, while Laurie looked awkwardly at her, but had a warm smile on her face nonetheless.

(Team Interview: Laurie and Miles)

“We stuck to our principles and we’re still in the race. Hah, I guess this just proves: Nice guys finish ALMOST last!” Laurie said.

(Team Interview Over)

“And here comes seventeenth!” Don called as Dwayne and Junior stepped on the mat. Dwayne however kept running.

“Is there any trees? Tell me if you see any trees!” Dwayne called as he ran.

“Almost there, dad!” Junior responded.

“How long are you going to let him run?” Don asked Junior.

“I just needed a little break.” Junior said.

(Team Interview: Dwayne and Junior)

“Seventeenth! Ohhhh you and me need to talk strategy mister!” Dwayne said.

“Oh boy…” Junior sighed.

(Team Interview Over)

“The Ridonculous Race is about skill, it’s about determination, not about magic. You’re done!” Don said harshly.

Despite this, Tammy smiled and turned to Leonard, “You know Leonard, I don’t think I could’ve asked for a better partner!”

Leonard simply smiled and said, “Yeah, I couldn’t agree more with you!”

“Leonard there’s another question that I want to ask you, will you be the wizard to my Valkyrie?” Tammy said.

Leonard gasped, but nodded very happily, he hugged Tammy for a while before Don tapped them on the shoulder, “Look, your hookup is cute and all, but this is a 30-minute show, so hurry it up please.”

Leonard simply smiled at Tammy and shrugged, the two walked off together, this time holding hands.

The scene then cut to a montage of the LARPers time on the race.

“I think we could have done better on the race. Our biggest mistake was wasting time trying to stop the other teams with our magic.” Tammy narrated.

“Well, I got to do a lot of things I never got to try so I can’t say our time on the race was totally wasted. Plus, I got myself a girlfriend!” Leonard narrated.

“I’m glad we did this together, we could share these memories, forever…” Tammy narrated.

“I still don’t get why we have to walk home.” Leonard said as he and Tammy walked through the hot Moroccan desert.
