The Rolling Peaches were still riding high given the fact that they had survived the last challenge and did not lose any team members. The adrenaline was flowing freely and that meant one thing, the girls were again talking non-stop. Well, all of them except DuckFan. The Duckster was starting to run down and desperately needed some rest. When she was finally able to get in a word in the conversation, she begged the team to stop and let her rest. Finally, the team relented and stopped at the Flights of Wonder bird show. They decided they could sit and talk as easily as they could walk and talk. The girls walked in and found their seats and waited for the show to begin. The sun was now up and DuckFan was having a hard time finding a spot to sleep where the sun was not in her eyes. Finally, she reached into her pocket and removed a sheet of moleskin. She cut two pieces and stuck them over her eyes. The effect was eerie as she looked as if she had no eyes. As soon as she applied the moleskin, she drifted off into sleep. The other girls busied themselves talking completely ignoring the show going on around them. Well, completely ignoring it until a very large parrot flew over them and left the girls a gift. Specifically, Dar20 appeared to have a target on her head as the bird scored a direct hit. She stood and immediately began screaming. At that moment, a startled figure dressed all in black wearing a Tigger Springtime pin jumped to his feet. Luv2Roam saw him and yelled to get him. The team sprung to their feet and began to run after the figure. All that is except DuckFan who was still asleep. Eeyores Pal shook DuckFan and woke her. Unfortunately, Duckfan could not remove the moleskin. While wrestling with it she began running trying to follow the sound. She had not anticipated a column being there and ran head first into it knocking her flat to the ground. Eeyores Pal decided the only way DuckFan would be able to follow along was if she helped her. She pulled out her waterproof tape and strapped DuckFan to her. As they ran after the rest of the team, they looked like a blind man being led by a seeing eye dog. It didnt help when DuckFan exclaimed, What is it girl? Did Timmy fall in a well? The dark figure rushed through Asia attempting to lose the pursuers. The figure slipped into Kali River Rapids and jumped on the spinning platform and into a waiting boat. The Peaches were closely behind him and leaped to the spinning platform. The ground suddenly spinning caused the blind DuckFan to lose her balance flinging her into the river. Because Eeyores Pal was connected to DuckFan, she too went into the water. As she was losing her balance, she grabbed Luv2Roam flipping her off the platform as well. Dar20, still traumatized because of the bird incident, jumped in voluntarily just to wash her hair. There the team was, floating in the water down the Kali River Rapids watching the dark figure and their pin float away over the horizon. People stood along the banks and stared as the team floated by. No one seemed interested in bobbing for peaches.
