The Amazing Stories
« on: Aug 8^th, 2005, 8:49pm »

In this game, I will have 10 people sign up. You will pick a team. You will then write a story about the team racing. It is okay if 2 people choose the same team. In writing your story, you may be as creative as your mind can be! We will start with 10 people, then I will judge the stories. Each week 1 person will be eliminated. We will continue play until there is a winner! There will be a prize for the winner! So...you can sign up NOW!

TEAM: Derek/Drew

OTHER TEAMS RACING: everyone else!

note: thoughts are denoted by italics.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Day 1:

Starting Point, Washington D.C. Monument

Derek: I never thought we'd be racing again. Let's see this time if we don't mess up.

Drew: I agree with you.

(They look around and see John Vito/Jill, but recognize no-one else, although they recognize Rob/Amber from Survivor.)

Derek: Not another famous team again... *sighs*

Drew: There's nothing to it. Don't get so uptight... if I remember the last time we raced YOU were the one who's calm-headed.

*Derek throws him a dirty look*

Phil *Grand Entrace* : Welcome again to the Amazing Race! Yes, I'm still the host, but the rules have changed a bit. *looks to Kevin/Drew, Derek/Drew, and John Vito/Jill* Now, the Fast forwards are limted to two for the entire Race-

Drew: *whispers to Derek*: What?! How could that have occurred?

Derek *whispers back*: I don't know. Times are changing.

*both return their attention to Phil, who is still explaining the new changes*

Phil:- and there is the case of the Yield. Anyone who wishes to use the Yield, can only do so once, so you must decide when it is most ostentatious to use it. Oh, and might I add: No person can do more than Six Roadblocks during the entire race, so you have to choose who shall do the Roadblocks per leg.
Your bags are over there*points*, and the first clue is waiting on top of your bags.

Good luck, travel safe, and... *raises hand*

GO!

*a mad frenzy ensues as the teams run for their luggage. Drew, having the biggest head start, gets there first, with Derek trailing right behind him.*

Drew *ripping clue open*: You must travel to Caracas, Venezuela, on one of these two flights: American Airlines Flight 449, or United Flight 273. When you get there, head to Puerto Cabello, and look for the Clue Box at Recurso De la Playa De Puerto Cabello near one of the entrance. You have $ 200 for this leg of the race.

Derek *picking up their bags*: Let's go, let's go, let's go!

*both run to where the cars are parked, pick one, flip the trunk open, throw their bags in, and race for the front seats.*

Drew: Come on! *starts ignition* We have to get there ahead of the rest!

*Derek looks around, and sees four of the ten cars have left the parking lot*.

Derek: Drew, floor it!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The Amazing Race is ON!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Washington D.C. International Airport

*chaos reigns*

Derek: Drew! Let's go to American! We made that one big mistake last time, let's not make it again!

*Drew nods, then they bolt for the American Airlines counter. To their annoyance, three teams are ahead of them.*

Derek: Come on, hurry up, hurry up...

*the line moves forward, and Derek does the talking.*

Derek: Do you still have tickets for the flight to Venezuela?

Teller: Let me check, Sir. *starts typing*

Drew: Please, be lucky...

Teller *after a few minutes*: Yes, we still have a few seats left. Would you like to take them?

Derek and Drew: Yes!

*tickets are processed, passports are checked, their bags go through inspection, and finally...*

Drew: Yes! We're on our way!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Caracas, Venezuela

Caracas International Airport
Four hours later

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Derek: You seen anyone else?

Drew: Yeah, John Vito, Rob, and Adam... and they're already at the doorways...

Derek: Let's go!

*they run towards the exit as if they were being chased by a herd of bulls, and manage to get a taxi.*

Taxi Driver: żA dónde? *TRanslation: Where to?*

Drew: ĄObténganos a Recurso De la Playa De Puerto Cabello tan rápidamente como sea posible! *Translation: Get us to Puerto Cabello Beach Resort as fast as you can!*

*Derek stares at him, he grins*

Drew: What? Remember when we were in Mexico and we didn't know a single word of Spanish? I took the liberty of learning the language.

*Derek grins bemusedly*

The taxi roars past all the traffic, and takes a shortcut.

Taxi Driver: Tomaré este atajo para llegar a allí adelante de esos taxis nosotros pasamos earler. żBueno con usted? *Translation: I'll take this shortcut to get there ahead of those taxis we passed earler. Okay with you?*

Drew: Si.

*he grins back at his twin*

*Two and a half hours later, they arrive at the Resort. They tell their driver to wait for them, and to their utter shock, John Vito/Jill have arrived ahead of them, and are already doing the Detour.*

Drew: What?! How'd they get here so quick?

Derek: Luck... who knows?

*They make a mad dash for the clue box, right at the entrance of the hotrl. Derek opens it, and reads the clue:*

Derek: You must now enter the Resort and look for Canbana Number 26, wherein the next route marker is waiting.

*Phil cuts in the commentary: However, they shall have a certain amount of trouble finding the Cabana, as there are over 300 in the Resort.*

Drew *throwing his bag down*: Let's go!

*they both enter the resort, and start searching like crazy. One hour passes, however, and they haven't found the Cabana (in which John Vito/Jill have already left the Resort with their next clue). Luckily, they meet a band of American tourists, tanning themselves on the beach, and they happily point out where Cabana 26 is. Drew gets there first, and decides to snatch the clue from the cluebox.*

Drew *reads it out loud*: Oh, man, it's a Detour.

*Phil cuts into commentary: The Detour is a choice between two tasks, each with its own pros and cons. In this Detour, teams need to decide to either Mind, or Find. In Mind, teams will have to play a memory game with the Resort's Game Master, wherein they must find the next clue hidden among other paired items in less than three tries. In Find, teams will have to go to a certain spot on the Beach, and start digging for their next clue.*

Derek: What shall we do?

Drew *deciding*: Find! Mind... I'm not so sure we'll find it the first time...

Derek: If you insist.

*They both run to the designated marked spot, and see another sand pit where, obviously, John Vito and Jill have been digging. Derek looks back, and sees that Rob and Amber have alredy arrived.*

Drew: Start looking!

*they make their way through the sand, digging with their own hands. This process continues for nearly an hour, until...*

Derek: I found it! *waves a ziplocked bag with the clue in it*

*around the same time, Rob and Amber have already left the Resort, while Adam and Rebecca are already at the clue box. The other teams have yet to be seen.*

Derek *reads the clue*: Teams must now travel to Valencia, a small town a few miles from Puerto Cabello. They must find the local Mayor's hosue in order to receive their next clue.

Drew: Let's run!

*They make a mad dash for the entrance lobby, pick up their bags, and head back to their waiting taxi cab. Derek shws the clue to the driver, and in less than two minutes, their taxi is eating dust, headed for Valencia.*

*Forty-five minutes later*

Taxi Driver: Estamos aquí en Valencia. żDónde usted desea ir? *Translation: We're here in Valencia. Where do you want to go?*

Drew: ĄLa casa del alcalde local, por favor, y en el doble! ĄEstamos en una raza! *Translation: The local Mayor's house, please, and on the double! We're in a race!*

*the taxi roars through the city, almost breaking a copule of speed rules on the way. In a flash, they arrive at the Mayor's house.

Drew: żCuánto para el precio? *Translation: How much for the fare?*

Taxi Driver: Tomaré ningún menos que ciento. *Translation: I'll take no less than a hundred.*

Drew: ĄQué?! *What?!*

Derek: Why? What's the matter?

Drew: He says he'll take no less than a hundred.

Derek: But we only have two hundred! We have to work something out!

Drew: żNo puede ser ochenta? *Translation: Can't it be eighty?*

Taxi Driver *frustrated sigh*: Si.

*he hands over the cash, and the taxi leaves a few minutes later, making Derek eat most of the dust.*

Derek: Road hog...

Drew: Let's look inside.

*they rush into the Mayor's house wherein he himself is waiting for the teams to arrive. He hands them their clue, along with a drink.

Mayor: ĄRecepción a Valencia! Usted es el tercer equipo a conseguir aquí hasta ahora. *Translation: Welcome to Valencia! You're the third team to get here so far.*

Drew *slightly crestfallen*: żQuiénes han venido? *Translation: Who else have come?*

Mayor: Dos otros equipos. *Translation: Two other teams.*

*Drew takes the clue, a bit annoyed, and reads it out, while Derek takes a drink.*

Drew: You must now travel back to Caracas by bus, and find the local Venezuelan Bar, Bebidas Rizadas, in order to find your next clue.

*for some strange reason Drew's face darkens, which makes Derek stare at him in wonder.

Derek: What is it?

Drew: Oh, nothing... *Hoo, boy, are we in deep trouble now. I can't tell Derek the name of the bar! He'll kill me!* Let's get going, shall we?

Derek: Let's!

*they thank the Mayor for the clue, and run out for the local bus station, which is only seven blocks away. Little did they know that Adam/Rebecca were right behind them, having just entered the Mayor's house.*

*as they arrive at the bus station, chaos reigns... again.*

Drew *joining the ticket line*: Wait here, alright? I'll get us some tickets.

*Derek looks around the bus station, and to his shock, sees Adam and Rebecca racing to the same ticket line Drew has just moved up a space in.*

Derek *shouting*: Hurry up, Drew!

*at that moment, he comes back to him, with two tickets in hand.*

Derek: Did you see Adam? He's in the line a few people behind you.

Drew *looks*: Uh-oh. Time to get moving!

*they board the bus and it runs its usual course. three hours later, they arrive, and are lucky to learn that the bar they're looking for is a short run away.*

Drew *rips open clue box*: Great, it's the Roadblock.

*Phil cuts into commentary*: The Rodblock is a task that only one person may perform. In this specific Roadblock, "Who's Sad?", one teammate must get to the bar and buy a drink for anyone they find. What they don't know is that they also have to buy a drink in order to cheer up whomever they meet.*

Derek: Who'll do it?

Drew: I will.

*at that moment, he opens the door, and walks in. What he sees shocks him. There's a lot of private booths scattered around the dance floor, which in itself is draped in filmy curtains. He brushes some aside, and gets to the bar. Since there's a lot of people at the bar, he decides to talk to the barman, who knows a few words of English.*

Drew: Anyone get here yet?

Bartender: Si. Two teams. You're the third, right? Buy a drink for anyone, and yourself. I give your clue after.

Drew: Sure.

*he looks around, and sees a quite down-hearted person, and decides to spare her some time.*

Drew: I'd but for him. Two Perriers, give the other one to him, will you?

Bartender: Si, with your compliments.

*the bartender gives the girl the other Perrier, and tells her that it's compliments of him. The girl looks at him, and he grins back. He toasts to her, and they drink up. After five minutes, and Drew's bottle is empty, the bartender gives him his next clue.*

Drew: Hey, thanks!

Bartender: No problemo.

*he leaves the bar, and Derek rips open the clue. He reads it out, while Drew picks up their bags.*

Derek: Now go to the next Pit stop, the Hyatt Regency Hotel Caracas- the Outer Lodge Gardens, located in the Tourist District in central Caracas.

Drew: Finally! The Pit Stop!

Derek: Let's go!

*they hail a taxi, and the driver knows English, a good sign. He immediately takes them to the Hyatt, and pay him thirty US dolars, then send him off. They run for the Outer Lodge Gardens, where Phil is waiting. They skid to the mat, and Phil says...*

Caracan girl: *halting English* Welcome to Caracas, Venezuela.

Phil: Derek and Drew, you're team number Three.

Derek: Yes! Off to a good start!

Drew: It's much better than last time, right?! *gives Derek a high-five*

Phil :"I am standing at the Washington Monument in Washington, DC. This is the start for The Amazing Race All Stars. 10 of your favorite teams from past seasons will be racing for a million dollars."
*Phil is now at the starting line*
Phil :"In just a few moments, the race will begin. You will run to your bags and read the clue. I'm sure you all know how this works, guys."

*murmurs from several teams, Mirna takes the time to give Colin a disgusted look at him*
Mirna :"I can't believe he's here."
Charla :"Don't worry about it Mirna, we'll beat him this time..."

Phil :"....Good luck.... travel safe...... GO!" The race was on.

*rips open the clue*
Charla :"Take one of three flights to Caracas, Venezuela... one leaving at 12:45 pm on American Airlines, one at 1:30 pm on United and one at 2:55 pm also on United." *looks at her watch* "It's 12:03 right now, we might make it, but it'll be just barely."
*Charla and Mirna pick their car, John Vito and Jill and Colin and Christie are already leaving, Mirna gets in the drivers seat, Charla has the map*
Mirna :"Ok, you better fasten your seatbelt!"

*theme song plays.... dun dun dun bomp*
*Mirna takes off before Charla has her belt on, Mirna hits a bump in the road.*
Charla :"What are you trying to do, kill me?"
Mirna :"We gotta hurry Charla, I can't stand having that criminal ahead of us."

*Speedometer says that she's going about 80 miles an hour.*
Charla :"Ok, do whatever you want, just don't get caught."

*Another team is in their car, Charla and Mirna passes them.*
Charla :"Who was that?"
Mirna :"The twins...Derek and Drew."

*airport is shown in the distance*
Mirna :"Is that it, Charla?"
Charla :"Yea, I think so."

*gets out of the car, grabs bags, and runs in the airport, to American Airlines*
Mirna :"What is your fastest flight to Caracas, Venuzuela?"
Charla :*checks her watch again, it says 12:34* "We're really cutting it close here, Mirna...."
Ticket lady :"We have a flight at 12:45.... you've just made it.. we're boarding now. Here's your tickets, and have a nice flight!"

Mirna :"We were so happy to find out that we made the first flight.... even better, we found out that Colin and Christie got a flat tire... they got stuck by themselves on the last flight."

*plane lands, teams find a detour clue*
Mirna :"Detour. Mind or Find."

Phil :"A detour is a choice between two tasks, each with it's own pros and cons. In this detour, teams must choose between Mind or Find. In Mind, teams must win a game of chess against a local champion. What they don't know is that the "local champion" is really just an 8 year old beginner level champion. In Find, teams must go to the Parque del Este and search inside the many trees to find their next clue."

Charla :"I don't think we could beat a champion!"
Mirna :"How can they expect any of us to?"
Charla :"Let's do Find."

*They now go look for a taxi, they find one and go in*
Mirna :"Llévenos al Parque del Este por favor." (Take us to the Parque del Este please.)
Charla :"żUsted sabe en donde está?" (Do you know where it's at?)
Taxi driver :"Si."

*they take off in the taxi*
Charla Confessional :"We had no idea if the guy knew where he was going... he said he did, but you can never believe anyone on this race."

*taxi stops*
Taxi driver :"Aquí está su parada."
TD :"Ése será 70 dólares de americano."
Mirna :"70 dollars? We only have 90 for the whole leg! Will you take 50?"
TD :"*sighs* Extranjeros estúpidos." *drives off*

Mirna :"Can you believe that guy?"
Charla :"Just ignore him, we have to find that clue..."

*they start looking all over the park for the clue*
*a half hour passes, they still haven't found it*
Charla :"We've walked around the whole park by now!"
Mirna :"Maybe we should have done the other detour." *keeps on walking around the park looking for it*
Charla :"FOUND IT!!!"
*Mirna runs over to Charla*
Mirna :"Good job Charla! *opens up the clue* Roadblock! Who's Sad?"

Phil :"A roadblock is a task that only one person may perform. In this roadblock, that person must go to the Circus in town, and dress up in a sad clown costume... and walk out on stage. Once this is done, they will recieve their next clue.

Charla :*laughs* "There is no freaking way i'm doing this one, Mirna."
Minra :"Me? Why me? I'm not doing it!"
Charla :"Oh come on."
Mirna :"I'M NOT DOING IT."
Charla :"NEITHER AM I."
Mirna :"There's only one way to solve this... rock paper scissors..."
Camera guy :"Geez, no wonder they lost the race first time."
Both :"Rock.... paper....scissors.... go!"
Mirna :"Dang it, it's me!"
Charla :"You're doing it, you're doing it!"
Mirna :"Fine, but don't laugh!"

*Mirna goes and does the roadblock, and Charla laughs at her anyway*
Mirna : "That was NOT funny."

Charla :"Drive yourselves to the Pit Stop, the Plaza Bolívar."
Mirna :"Good, the pitstop...Now will you stop laughing at me Huh

!?!"

*driving to the pitstop*
Mirna :"Really now, who thinks up these roadblocks anyway? It's like they WANTED to make fun of me."
Camera guy :"Maybe they did..."

*sees the pitstop ahead, gets out of the car*
Phil :"Charla and Mirna... you are team number four!"
Charla :"Not bad! Better than our first race."
*Mirna gives Phil her standard pitstop hug.*
--

Yay, i'm done. Cheesy

it's a tie! (it really is, you both did a spectacular job!)

Due to the unpopularity of this game, it is being cancelled.

But feel free to keep posting your "Amazing" stories!
