Zachary Bortz​: Man, we ran 9 miles which means 17 laps is enough for a day, don't you agree, Ainsley?

​Ainsley Bortz: Yeah. We're all sweaty now.

​Leah Bortz: Our bodies are all red and sweaty.

Clancatcher Bortz: I tend to agree. How about 96 hours of relaxation to cool off?

​Zachary Bortz: Yeah, I agree. Our bodies look spicy when we're all red and sweaty.

​[everyone laughs]

​Meredith Bortz: ​LOL.

​Alexa Bortz: ​Good one, Zach.

​Spearslinger Indian: ​I agree with them.

Ainsley Bortz: ​Totally.

​[Maddie Bortz walks up to the entrance gate to Spice]

Maddie Bortz: Maddie to friends. Zach and Ainsley have scored 80% on their full blood test. They only failed the Turkey Challenge, where Sophia and Abworker helped them save the twins from being eaten by a turkey, which they didn't succeed. (yells) ​Hey, spicy universe, bite my shiny metal a--​(she thrusts her shorts onto the gate and screams as she is launched into the air by the explosion)​

​[Zachary, Ainsley, Alex and Leah scream as they are launched far into the woods where Maddie screams as she lands into the forest on her head]
