It was a lovely evening and we were flying towards the next challenge country-

Except, it wasn't a lovely evening at all, since the plane started going array, for no reason.
Trying to decipher the cause of this insanity, I go to the Economy class and see if anyone has any idea-

me:Guys, any idea what's going on?
Noah:We hoped you'd know,
me:Wait, someone's...! IZZY'S MISSING!
Ale:Well, that explains a lot.

Suddenly, we heard Izzy's voice through Chef's megaphone, and I rush to the Pilot's compartment, trying to stop Izzy from killing us all.
Unfortunately, that helped with just about nothing, since the plane went down, and I had to cling on Izzy for dear life, hoping not to die (or vomit).
Interesting enough, we landed in water, and just when I thought I could breath in relief, the chair got propulsed into the air, with my screaming and her laughing like crazy, until she hit her head on the plane and fell in the water.
Swimming back to the surface, I get up near the others and squeezed the water out of my hair as best as I could.
Thankfully enough, Alejandro had a hair-tie at him, and I could tie my hair up to avoid any weird feeling.

me:Remind me not to go around Izzy next time, even if it costs me my life.
Ale:And what a terrible misfortune this was, while in the country of love, to be in such a bad mood.
me:Can you blame me? It's a really weird, uncomfortable feeling, y'know?
Ale:I can guess.

After that, I went next to Chris and whispered in his ear to let me go back and change, and that I'll be back ASAP, and will choose the team I'll first encounter. Nevertheless, I barely winked at him and ran back to the plane, not even letting him give me the superficial approval.

Running back in the Louvre was an easy task...At least, until some weird chainsaw bear started chasing me around. Thankfully, I managed to lose him, after I went into a side room and locked the door behind me.

-?-:Why, hello there, ma belle mademoiselle~.
me:Uh...What's this place? And why are you all carrying statue pieces?
Noah:Just Chris' stupid challenge. Gotta get all the statue piece back and put them back together. We have to get the last piece of-
me: VENUS DE MILO! Ah, the ever so beautiful Goddess of Love~!How wonderful!
Ale:Her beauty pales in comparison to you, mon amour.
me:*whistles* Now, that's enticing. Fine, then, leave this one to me. Dodging some laser beams is nothing compared to what I've done in the past.

Cracking my spine and fingers, I get in my ballet stance and jump here and there, avoiding all those silly lights with no problem, and then back again, landing with a pirouette and a mock courtesy, earning claps from the others.

Ale:Now that I think of it, maybe Aphrodite would have been jealous of you.
me:Tell that to Adonis~.

Finishing the first half of the challenge was easy enough. Now, all we have to do is put the pieces down and-
No, never mind, Alejandro made it so that the Venus and David pieces get tangled together on the floor.

Courtney:Hey, you got some of your Venus in our David!
me:Wouldn't that be the other way around?
Noah:*snorts*Oh,dear.
Heather:You did that on purpose!

And the fight began.
After a lot of pointless arguing and Lizzy working by herself, I sigh in annoyance and start helping her out, since her idiotic teammate was nowhere to be seen.

It didn't take long for us to ALMOST finish it, and Lindsay was SO excited, but just before she could put the last piece, DJ ran the statue over with his car, making a complete drama, and letting the Amazons win. Poor Linds wasn't even mad or upset, just a tad disappointed while trying to reassure her useless teammate.

With a sigh of annoyance, I go to the Blue team and slap my face in complete boredom, seeing that they seem to always love coming in second.

me:I'm not even gonna bother with you and your love for the 2nd place, but was the chest coverage really necessary? What, now we have to censor famous art pieces because of some special snowflakes? *sighs* How utterly ridiculous. Much like your team.
Ale: That was rude, my dearest. However, I have to agree on the art part, it's totally uncalled for.
me:Lindsay should have won.
Ale:We would have won if you were to help us.
me:Lindsay needed help, even if she would have been okay on her own too. She was alone, and you were not. Your IQ should have helped you more than me there.
Ale:*sighs* Perhaps you're right.
me:Of course I'm right. Ah, poor Lindsay, being eliminated because of a fashion catwalk, when she had such a surreal Myrko Tatii couture idea. Ah, what a shame.
Ale: Tyler looked hilarious.
me:*shrugs* True art is difficult to understand by all...peasants of the low society, alas. Hm...Nevermind that, I'm going out shopping with Lindsay and Tyler. It's the least I can do for her.
Ale: May I be of assistance?
me:If you are prepared to carry all my bags, then sure, do come along.
Ale:Your wish is my command, mon chere.

That night was probably the best one of my life, especially since I could spend it with Lindsay, Tyler and Alejandro, which proved to be amazing company.
All night, I and Linds took countless selfies and pictures of the city, inside the luxurious brand shops like LV and the Lafayette Galleries which legit took our breathe away.
I think my social media's going to be flooded with artistic Tumblrish pics of me posing like a Million Dollar Diva. Surprisingly enough, Alejandro proved to be a really great photographer for both I and Lindsay, which made me happier than I could have believed.
After the whole shopping spree, we went to relax at the nearest Starbucks, where we exchanged pics and posted them everywhere, making others jealous of our amazing experience and put countless snap vids.
Before we left the place, I told her to start a fashion vlogging channel and talk about each piece she bought and try it on, and I'll manage her followers and all the tech stuff. In turn, she promised to let me be her model (and Alejandro to be my counterpart if needed), to which I eagerly agreed.

The end of the trip was us drinking a sugary coffee in the restaurant on top of the Eiffel Tower and enjoying the view of all the gorgeous light of the city.

Ah, Paris sure is stunning.

Unfortunately, Lindsay had to go and pack her things, but since only her and Tyler went down the elevator, I remained, leaning on the banister, admiring the view of the city, hoping to see it again sometime soon.

me:Don't you sometimes wish you could travel whenever you wished, just to see the beauties of the world?
Ale:My father being a diplomat meant I got to travel here and there when I could. But yes, I have to agree.
me:Maybe people really destroyed the planet...but nobody can deny the art they also created alongside.
Ale:Like you?
me:*chuckles*Nothing can compare to this.
Ale:I beg to differ, actually.
me:Oh, really? Got any smooth flirt line to woo me with?
Ale:I need no generic pick up line to say how I'd give up anything just to admire you.
me:Would you, really?
Ale:Aye, I believe so.
me:Then, how about you give up nothing, and proceed in charming me for as long as this competition allows you? Who knows, maybe our paths will cross one day, once more.
Ale:Or mayhap, they will be forever together.
me:Wouldn't that be ethereal? Sounds quite utopian, regardless.
Ale:Nothing is impossible if you only wish for it.
me:Then, would you believe me if I said that my ideal date would be with you, exploring the world~?Only that, and nothing else would be more perfect than going against the world to discover beauty, with one who is dear to your heart.
Ale:Why, chere, I believe we have similar dreams. Wouldn't you like it if we were to share those dreams and make them come true, together?
me:I'd want nothing more than this.

With that, he put one arm around my waist, and the other on my cheek, then leaned down, sharing a soft kiss, this time reciprocated.

Ale:Let's enjoy this while it lasts, and after this show's over-
me:We can take over the world, together.
Ale:I love the sound of it.
me:It does sounds enticing, doesn't it~?
Ale:Just like you, for the matter. I believe, when in Rome, do as the Romans do, and yet, here we are, in Paris, and the best phrase for now would be, if I'm not mistaken... " Je t'aime, mon cherie".
me:Well damn, those Frenchies sure know what to say. Then, I suppose saying " Je t'aime aussi, mon amour " would work as well, wouldn't it?
Ale:Just perfectly.

After sharing another chaste kiss, we go down the elevator and back to the plane, where we said our goodbyes to sweet Lindsay, and continued on our marry way, to our separate sleeping rooms.

This should be getting better and better...
