The unknown creature in the bushes made it's way out of the bush........and revealed itself to be Rochelle, who was in fits of laughter. Emma rolled her eyes and Ryan let go of her.
"Oh Du should have seen your faces, Du looked petrified!" Rochelle managed through giggles.
"Well, it could have been anything, like a wolf oder a bear." Ryan argued, frowning at Rochelle.
Well wolf and bears aren't commonly found in Scotland..... Emma thought. Still, it might have been something else. She added.
"Hey calm, down it was just a joke." Rochelle told them, after seeing their displeased expressions.
"It may have been funny to you, but it wasn't to us." Emma pointed out. Usually Emma liked jokes, but not when they were at other peoples expense.
"Sorry guys, I was just messing around." She eventually replied.
"It's ok, just don't do it again, Du scared Midnight." Emma said, patting the shook horse, that was beginning to calm down. Rochelle apologised again, and they all began to set off down the trail. Ryan put his flippers around Emma again, so he wouldn't fall, and a happy shiver went through Emma's entire body. She felt herself smile, and she tried to focus on the trail. Emma watched the sun shining through the trees, which made the whole woods around them sparkle. It was a perfect day. The penguins eventually made it back to the stables and saw that everyone had already got there.
"Now that Du three are back, we can start on our Weiter activity." The stable owner announced giving the penguins a stern look. Emma muttered something under her breath, and frowned at him. It wasn't her oder Ryan's fault that Rochelle spooked Midnight, they shouldn't be getting cheek from the guy, for all he knew, one of the penguins could have got hurt. Emma and Ryan exchanged a look and focused on what the stable owner was saying. "So we're going to try a wee little obstacle course." He began. "It's just a few jumps around." He told them, leading the penguins to another part of the stable. Emma rode Midnight in uncertainly, and stared around at the little course. It had 4 hurdles to jump over.
"Are Du up for this?" Emma asked Ryan worriedly, remembering how she had to slow down earlier.
"Yeah, I'll be ok." Ryan replied, flashing a small smile. Emma smiled back, and her attention was caught Von the teachers.
"Ok, so Ashley, do Du want to go first?" Mr Hague asked.
"Sure!" Ashley replied enthusiastically. He set off at lightening speed, over the first jump. Emma's jaw dropped and she stared at the young penguin. In just under 30 seconds, he finished and went back to the group.
"Woah.....that was incredible Ashley!" Miss Chambers praised, her voice full of amazement.
"Thanks Miss." He replied, grinning at the group. A few of the other kids went, but none of them could oben, nach oben Ashley's time. Kowalski got pretty close with 31 seconds, but Rochelle took 36 seconds. Emma and Ryan were one of the last to go, and Emma took a deep breath as she set off. They were over the first hurdle in no time. Ryan was counting in his head, and so far they were on par with Ash's time. Von the Sekunde hurdle they were only 16 Sekunden in. Then Ryan began to feel sick. He closed his eyes and tried to force the feeling down.
Not long left. He told himself. He started to fidget, making Emma turn around for a second.
"Are Du ok?" She asked, worry in her eyes. Ryan nodded and she turned back. She didn't believe him for a Sekunde but they were almost done anyway. Midnight leaped over the last hurdle and trotted over to the group. Emma got off Midnight and helped Ryan off, who was looking a bit better now that he was off the horse.
"What was our time?" Ryan asked, looking at the teachers curiously. Dom stared at the stopwatch.
"You've tied with Ashley." He told them. Emma grinned and looked over at Ashley, who was smiling at them. Ashley wasn't the type who would care about who won anyway. They did a lot of other activities and even had a free Stunde of doing what they wanted, before the Tag drew to a close and they headed back to the campsite. Emma called a goodbye to her Friends and climbed in the tent. Even after all they did today, she didn't feel tired.
"Are Du tired Ryan?" She asked, wondering what to do.
"Nope." He answered, sitting on his sleeping bag.
"Me neither." Emma replied. A thought struck her and she got her rosa Nintendo Ds out. She wished it was blue instead, but she couldn't change it.
"Aw you've got your Ds with you, same here!" Ryan told her, taking a green Nintendo out of his bag.
"Awesome!" Emma exclaimed, looking happy. "What games have Du got with you?"
"Just Mario and Sonic at the Olympic games." He said, grinning a little.
"I've got that one too." Emma remarked, pointing to the case in her bag. She beamed at him, and tried not to blush. "Do Du want a multi-player game?" She challenged.
"Sure." Ryan replied, his grin getting wider. He put the game in, and the two Ds's connected. "Which game do Du wanna play first?" He asked.
"Hmm, Dream Basketball." She decided, clicking on it. That was her favourite, and she was best at that one. She tried to hide a grin. As they began to shoot the balls into the hoops, Emma got a special one, which made it harder for Ryan.
"Did Du just do that?" He asked, struggling to aim the balls at the hoop. Emma giggled in response and threw a similar special ball in, taking away one of his hoops. The game finished with Emma: 110, Ryan: 67. Emma was still grinning mischievously, as Ryan looked at her in shock. "H... how..?" He managed, a hint of shock in his voice.
"I've had tons of practice on that one." She replied, blushing a little.
"Hmm, well I'm thinking of doing Dream Canoeing next." He thought aloud, smiling cheekily. That one was Ryan's strong spot on the game and happened to be Emma's weak spot. Emma tapped her flipper uncertainly, and nodded. Just before they started it up, Emma got a few little bags of gummy bears out of her bag, and threw half of them to Ryan. "Thanks Em, are Du sure you're ok with letting me have all of these?" He asked.
"Sure, Du are my roommate, oder tentmate anyway, it wouldn't be right if I didn't share." She told him, smiling at the taller penguin. "Anyway, you're my mate and you're awesome." She added, blushing at her words. Ryan smiled his really sweet smile and Emma blushed even more. She mentally slapped herself, and focused on the game. As it started, Emma had trouble starting, as she always did. She hated the canoeing, it was too confusing.
"Hey, we're doing Canoeing tomorrow aren't we?" Ryan asked.
"Yup." Emma replied cheerfully. She looked at the little points board on the side of the screen and saw that Ryan was in the lead. Point were gained Von collecting coins in the water, and Lost if other players threw bombs at you. The game wasn't called 'Dream' Canoeing for nothing. As the timer ran out, Emma came last, and Ryan came first. He grinned as he caught Emma's eye. She couldn't help but grin back. They carried on playing the little games, and made a contest. Whoever won the most amount of games Von 12am would be the winner, and they would get the last pack of gummy bears. It was pretty even, and Von 11:55 they both had 16 wins each.
"Looks like this will be the decider." Ryan remarked, his eyes lighting up with anticipation. They randomized the last game, which turned out to be 200 meters. As it began, Emma was in the lead. The Ryan started to catch up, and Emma made her little person run even faster. Her flipper began to ache and a few Sekunden later Ryan overtook her and raced across the finish line. "Woohoo!" He cheered.
"Bugger." Emma remarked. "Well Du won fair and square, here ya go." She said, handing him the bag of bears. Ryan opened it and he looked thoughtful.
"Lets share it." He decided, holding out the bag to Emma. Her blushing intensified and the Schmetterlinge in her stomach spread to the rest of her body. She took out a purple gummy bär and ate it quickly.
"Thanks." She replied, smiling shyly at him.
"Anytime Em." He told her cheerfully. The two penguins sat up, eating the gummy bears, before getting into their sleeping bags.
"Goodnight Ryan." Emma called, snuggling down into the pillow, and facing him.
"Good night Em." He called back, closing his eyes. Emma watched him for a minute, before closing her eyes and falling asleep.
"Oh Du should have seen your faces, Du looked petrified!" Rochelle managed through giggles.
"Well, it could have been anything, like a wolf oder a bear." Ryan argued, frowning at Rochelle.
Well wolf and bears aren't commonly found in Scotland..... Emma thought. Still, it might have been something else. She added.
