Race Around the World

Chapter 9: Chapter 9



During the night, Hope and Nichole went to find some firewood to make a fire. Once the fire was built, all the campers roasted hotdogs by the fire and ate them for dinner. After they ate, all the campers put sleeping bags around the campfire, got in them, and slept around the campfire for the night. When morning came, all the racers woke up, packed their sleeping bags, and returned to their cars. Then, they all lined up and waited for Lacey to shoot off the starting pistol. When she did, Team Seashell started their car and raced to Jamaica. The other racers waited 60 seconds for Team Seashell's head start to be over.

During their 60-second head start, The Seashell Saleen raced through The Amazon and headed back toward Colombia. Once their 60-second head start was over, Stephanie reshot the starting pistol, and the other racers tried to catch The Seashell Saleen. The Seashell Saleen is in the lead, The Poker Machine is in 2nd, The Combo Convertible is in 3rd, The Flame Car is in 4th, The J Carriage is in 5th, The Speed Canoe is in 6th, The Catmobile is in 7th, The Flower Truck is in 8th, Easter Town is in 9th, and The Speeding Monkey is in last. The Flame Car is still in 4th, but James took the cap off a stink bomb and threw it into Team Combo's car. Once the stink bomb exploded, Chyna and Marva exited their vehicle and coughed. Then, all the racers passed Chyna and Marva, putting them in last place. The Flower Truck is in 7th, but they activated the drill set in their car, dug under the track, passed everyone from 6th-4th, and put themselves in 4th when they got to the surface. The Catmobile is in 7th, but they drove by The Speed Canoe and put themselves in 6th. The J Carriage is in 5th, but then they dumped a pile of scraps onto the track and stopped everyone from 6th-9th in their tracks, but Team Combo activated the spring set in their car and bounced over the scrap pile to take 6th place. Easter Town is in 9th and got by the rise of scraps by digging under the pile of junk with their drill setting. Once they got to the surface, they put themselves in 3rd and saw The Poker Machine ahead. The other racers stuck behind the pile of scraps and then drove down the tunnel Team Easter made, and Team Cat put themselves in 4th, Team Canoe in 5th, and Team Monkey in 6th.

The Speeding Monkey tried to pass The Speed Canoe, but they were having trouble because Hope and Nichole wouldn't let them drive by them. Angi said, "One side. Team Monkey is coming through." Jarrett said, "Last warning. Out of the way, Small Fries." Hope said, "Who are you calling 'Small Fries'?" Angi said, "You two, that's who." Angi activated their shrink ray and blasted Team Canoe with it. Then they shrunk from 5 feet to 5 inches, and all the racers behind them passed them, putting The Speed Canoe in last place. The Combo Convertible is in 9th, and then they ditched Team Canoe, leaving them far behind. The Poker Machine is closing in on The Seashell Saleen. Then Jackie hit the gas, passed The Seashell Saleen, and took the lead.

While The Speed Canoe was still driving through The Amazon Rainforest, the other racers were heading into Colombia and getting ready to cross The Caribbean Sea. The Seashell Saleen is closing in on The Poker Machine. Then Brad hit the gas, and they passed The Poker Machine, taking back their lead. The Speeding Monkey is in 5th, and Angi saw The Flame Car catching up to them. Since they didn't want Team Flame passing them, Team Monkey pulled a lever in their car and dumped an oil slick onto the road. Then, The Flame Car and The J Carriage slipped on the oil slick and crashed their cars into each other. Then Team Monkey pulled over to the side for a minute and watched both The Flame Car and The J Carriage pass them while they drove out of control and fell into The Caribbean Sea. Then their cars sank, the network's helicopter flew by, and Jennifer dropped them a rope ladder to climb up. Then they all climbed up the ladder to the copter, and Jennifer flew them back to the network. Eric also stopped The Speed Canoe for a moment. Lacey and Stephanie looked at their TV screen and saw what was happening. Lacey said, "Looks like Team Flame and Team J are out of the race." Stephanie said, "Yes, and it looks like Eric from the network is doing all they can to get Hope and Nichole back to normal size." Eric from the network used a growth ray and got Hope and Nichole back to average size and back in the race. Since they were so far behind, Hope flipped a switch in their car and activated their turbo speed. Then they raced past everyone from 7th-4th and took 4th place.

The racers are approaching The Caribbean Sea. The Seashell Saleen is in the lead, and when they got to The Caribbean Sea, they turned their car into a motorboat and drove across. The Poker Machine is in 2nd, and when they got to The Caribbean Sea, they turned their vehicle into a powerboat and speeded across The Caribbean Sea. Easter Town is 3rd, and when they got to The Caribbean Sea, they turned their car into a sailboat and sailed across. The Speed Canoe is in 4th, and when they got to The Caribbean Sea, they turned their car into a helicopter and flew over. The Catmobile is in 5th, and when they got to The Caribbean Sea, they turned their car into a helicopter and flew across. The Speeding Monkey is in 6th, and when they got to The Caribbean Sea, they turned their vehicle into a speedboat and drove across The Caribbean Sea. The Flower Truck is in 7th, and when they got to The Caribbean Sea, they turned their car into a speedboat and went across. The Combo Convertible is in last, and when they got to The Caribbean Sea, they turned their vehicle into a speedboat and drove The Caribbean Sea.

The Poker Powerboat was still in the 2nd, but Penny spotted the other boats through her binoculars. Penny said, "They're following us." Jackie said, "No problem." Jackie pushed a button in their ship and brought out a catapult. Then Penny loaded it and fired it on The Monkey Speedboat in 6th. Angi said, "Jarrett, what's that?" Jarrett looked up in the sky and saw something coming their way. Jarrett said, "Speed up." Team Monkey speeded up their boat, and The Poker Powerboat hit The Combo Speedboat in 7th instead. Then, The Poker Powerboat shot again and hit The Combo Speedboat again. Jackie said, "Keep firing. Send them to the bottom of the sea." Penny shot another thing at Team Combo and punched a hole in their boat. Then, Team Combo's ship sprung a leak, and they started to sink. Once Team Combo's boat got to the bottom of The Caribbean Sea, Jackie and Penny cheered, and Jennifer from the network drove a yacht into The Caribbean Sea and got Chyna and Marva out of the water. Then Jennifer returned them to the network and disqualified them from the race.

The Monkey Speedboat then speeded up their boat, passed everyone from 5th-1st, took the lead, and was the first to arrive at Jamaica. Then, they turned their speedboat back into a car and drove to the finish line. While racing, Lacey and Stephanie waited for the racers at the finish line. While there, Marcel from the network called and told them to move the finish line to Egypt. The Seashell Speedboat arrived at Jamaica 2nd, turned their speedboat back into a car, and then drove to the finish line. Team Poker arrived at Jamaica 3rd, and when they did, they turned their powerboat back into a car and headed to the finish line. Team Easter got to Jamaica 4th, and when they did, they turned their sailboat back into a car and drove to the finish line. Team Canoe arrived at Jamaica 5th, and when they did, they turned their helicopter back into a car and headed toward the finish line. Team Cat got to Jamaica 6th, and when they did, they turned their helicopter back into a car and drove to the finish line. The Flower Speedboat was the last one to arrive in Jamaica, and when they did, they turned their speedboat back into a car and drove after the other racers, hoping to get to the finish line first.

The Poker Machine caught up to The Seashell Saleen, but Brad and Lauren wouldn't let them pass them. Since they couldn't get by The Seashell Saleen, Jackie pulled a lever, activated their car's drill, and dug underneath the track. Then, they drove their vehicle above the road and drilled out of their tunnel, putting themselves in the lead. Once the racers approached the finish line, The Poker Machine came in 1st, The Speeding Monkey came in 2nd, The Seashell Saleen came in 3rd, Easter Town came in 4th, The Speed Canoe came in 5th, The Catmobile came in 6th, and The Flower Truck came in last. Jackie said, "We won; give us our money." Stephanie said, "Sorry, racers, but we've moved the finish line to Egypt. So, you'll have to race across the North Atlantic Sea and make a rest stop in Morocco, where you'll have dinner and sleep for the night. Team Poker will get a 60-second head start since they came in 1st. You'll resume the race and finish in Egypt the next day." Lacey said, "Oh yeah, we're also adding three new racing teams into the race. Hannah and Zach in The Frog Hopper, Donaven and Nayanna in The Wheeled Mummy Case, and Desiree and Heather in The Genie's Bottle."
