Episode 17; “Super Hero ID”

Everyone was awake Von three in the morning on that day. Courtney and Lindsay really smelled! And I sagte so.
They were too busy arguing to notice. I sighed, and since I was awake already, I changed and stepped out. Oh, well. I’m off to meet Duncan.

I stepped out (everyone else did, also) and Chris was already there. He explained the challenge, super-power, blah, blah, blah.
I designed and made my costume quickly, so I could spend “quality time” with Duncan.
It was sky blue and cream, with a red sash around my waist. A red ribbon held back my hair. I showed it to Duncan. “What do Du think, Juvie?” I asked. I had begun to call him “Juvie”.
“Wow,” he breathed. “Awesome.”
He kissed me. His breath smelled of peppermint. “So where’s your costume?” I asked.
“I’m not wearing tights,” he sagte firmly.
“Uh, okay, suit yourself,” I said. “Help me think of my superhero name and power.”
“What do Du like, my flame angel?” He asked.
“Flame Angel! That’s it!” I said. And my superpower is... um, this!”
I jumped up and did a flip. My red sash billowed behind me, and Duncan sagte it seriously looked like fire. “Seriously? Wow...”
“I was kidding,” I said, my face hot.
“No. No, keep it! And your power could also be dazzling people, which Du already do quite well,” he said.
I giggled. “No. I can beat up people.”
But Duncan just laughed.

When it was my turn on stage, I swallowed, then did a flip outside.
“And who are you?” Chris said.
“I’m the Flame Angel,” I stated. “And my superpower is...” I did my flip.
Chef (and everyone else except Chris) was practically blinded. “And I can beat up people!” I said. Everyone cracked up. I blushed.
“Uh... great, Flame Angel,” he said. “Nine!”
I was really ticked off at that, because Courtney got a “ten”.
Her power was crazy! Our Weiter challenge was to... well, I wasn’t really listening. But I do know that Courtney won with 30 seconds.
My time was 31. Pretty okay. Worse than Courtney though. Probably because my sash kept on getting caught.

(Duncan’s POV)
The voting ceremony was totally crazy. Basically, it went down like this:
Chris said, “The first Gilded Chris goes to Courtney... and Rebecca.” I sighed. At least my Yurie was safe. “Beth and Harold, you’re safe, sicher too. Justin,” he said, throwing a Chris award to him. Just me and Leshawna were left. Please...
“And... Duncan! You’re safe.”
Beth was like, “Leshawna! Oh no!”
I watched Nerd Brain hug her, and I thought, what a doofus.
I walked over to Yurie, and she said, “I’m glad Du weren’t eliminated.”
“So am I,” I said.
I took her in my arms, and we walked to my kabine together. She spent the night in my cabin, but before we went to sleep, we did make out for a while, maybe 25, 30 minutes?
I couldn’t tell.
I guess time isn’t really my thing.
