Let's Greece It Up
#4 of The Amazing Race 2
On the last leg of the Amazing Race, the remaining 17 teams took a little visit to Paris. Players had to eat various samples of cheeses and then roll a giant cheese wheel down the steps of the Arc de Triomphe. The Policefurs came in first, but sadly the coyotes Jared & Cynthia were cut from the race. 16 teams remain. Who will go home next? Find out right now on... the Amazing Race.

"Welcome back to Paris." Toner says. "Yesterday's winners are the first ones up." DeeDee steps up, takes a clue and reads it to Diesel.
"Route Info: get on the next flight to Athens, Greece." Greece: this is where the first Olympics were originally held. Players will travel here and be surprised to see a bunch of Olympic tasks to complete.
"Let's go!" Diesel says. The other teams get their clues from the clue fox and take a cab back to the airport. Once on Toner's private plane, they settle in for the 3 hour flight to Athens.
"Oh this leg will be so easy." Tammy says. "Athens? We might as well have been born there."
"I know." Rachel says. "It's been my lifelong dream to go to Greece and see where Olympians like us have been."
"We were almost cut yesterday." Griffin says. "I'm sorry if it was all my fault."
"You tried." Zander says. "But today, let's try to not make any mistakes, ok?"
"Ok." Griffin cuddles up with Zander.
"Awwwww, you two are so cute." Joe says. Him and Boomer sit next to Griffin & Zander.
"Thanks." Zander says. "You and Boomer are very cute together too."
"Thanks." Boomer kisses Joe and snuggles up with him.
"You're both pretty awesome." Maxwell says to both pairs. Him and Richard hold paws.
"Hmmmm. Looks like we're all down Lover's Lane." Griffin says. And thus, the unofficial alliance of Lover's Lane is born.
Meanwhile towards the front are the sisters and yiff stars. "So, how long have you two been... you know?" Kitty asks.
"A long time." Paul says. "That's how I meet Phil."
"Do you have feelings for each other?"
"Well, he certainly is cute and a good kisser." Kit taps on her sister's shoulder.
"Kitty, what're you doing?" She whispers.
"I'm just making conversation." Kitty says. "I've never really met any yiff starts before, let alone see any."
"Trust me, sometimes yiff can be a little disturbing."
"You're just saying that after you saw that 2 Vixens 1 Bowl video."
"Oh don't get me started on that. That was disgusting."
"So, anyways, is everything you star in just erotic or...?"
"Well, for the most part, yes." Phil says. "But we really don't mind."
"Cool."

After 3 and a half hours in the air, Toner's plane lands in Athens. Teams rush to the clue box just outside the airport. "Route Info: grab an Amazing Race cab and head to the Parthenon." Becky says. Teams get in cabs and start driving off, with the help of GPSs, to the Parthenon.
"Ok. We're gonna have serious competition with the Olympians." Diesel says. "So, we should give it our all today."
"I know." DeeDee says. "I want those Olympians gone. They're way too strong."
"They haven't won a single leg of the race yet."
"Yeah. It's the 'yet' part that worries me."
"Crap. I'm not so good when it comes to physical activity." Griffin says.
"You'll be fine." Zander says. "I'm sure they won't throw anything too difficult at us."
"Have you seen the last race? Toner will probably make us to something exhausting."
"I haven't really seen Olympic Games," Vince says, "but seriously, how hard can it be?" The mountain climbers make it to the Parthenon first followed by the Olympians. The clue box sits right outside the columns.
"One-way: teams must do the Hurdles Race." Becky reads. Teams will take turns competing in a 100 meter hurdles event. Once a local judge (pink wolf: Jessica) approves, they'll be given the next clue.
"This will be so easy." Tammy says.
"This is gonna be hard." KiKi says.
"We have no time to waste." Becky says. The hurdles are outside the Parthenon. As more teams arrive (Vince & Sam, Kit & Kitty, Diesel & DeeDee, Paul & Phil, and Griffin & Zander), Becky & KiKi step up first for the Hurdles. Once the horn sounds, both girls start running. The first few hurdles are only a foot high, but it eventually goes up to two feet and eventually three and a half feet.
"This is easy!" Becky says. She makes it to the other side in no problem; but her partner has issues with the higher ones. "You ok, KiKi?"
"Yeah!" KiKi says. When she comes to the last one, she tries to jump but she knocks into the hurdle and tumbles to the ground. Jessica sends them to the back of the line. "If we get cut, I'm sorry if it was my fault."
"It won't be. Besides, we're in 8th place." Becky says. Milon & Zax soon arrive, take their clue and get in line.
"Now we're in 9th place." KiKi says.
"Let's show these losers how it's done." Tammy says.
"Let's." Rachel steps up to the starting line with her partner. The horn sounds and the two take off. With smiles on, they run through it with grace and perfect agility. They don't even break a sweat with the three foot high hurdles. Tammy crosses the finish line first, with Rachel landing on her shoulders.
"Nice job girls." Jessica says. She gives them the next clue.
"Piece of cake." Tammy says, then she reads the clue. "Roadblock: whoever didn't sample cheeses in Paris must do the Swimming Challenge." Players must jump into a huge pool and swim 50 meters across to where 3 flags await them. They must bring them back to their partner one at a time. Once done, they can get their next clue.
"C'mon baby, let's do this." Sam says.
"Alright." Vince says. The horn sounds. The two start running. While Sam makes it through the hurdles easily, Vince has a bit of trouble.
"You can do this honey!" Sam says. He jumps over the three foot hurdle in no trouble and waits for his boyfriend. Vince manages to get over the last hurdle.
"Not the best, but good enough." Jessica says. She gives them the clue and they run off. Kit & Kitty finishes with ease and the Policefurs finish with no trouble either.
"What can I say?" DeeDee says. "There's a few things they teach you at the academy; and speed is definitely one of them." Jessica gives her the next clue and her and Diesel head to the pool. As Paul & Phil step up to give the hurdles a shot, Zoe & Patricia, Jasper & Mitch, Shelly & Fran, Boomer & Joe, and Miles & Joey get in line for the first challenge.
"Ouch!" Paul says as he trips over the last hurdle.
"You ok?" Phil asks.
"Yeah." He says. When he tries to stand up, his foot gives a little resistance. "Except I think I twisted my ankle."
"Oh no! Here." Phil picks up Paul in his arms and carries him to the back of the line. It's Griffin & Zander's turn.
"You can do it, kitty." Zander kisses Griffin before getting ready to run. The horn sounds and Zander takes off. Griffin does too but at a slower pace. Zander leaps with ease over the hurdles. Even though Griffin gets through the first few just fine, he has trouble getting over the other ones due to his size. "Almost there!"
Zander makes it to Jessica first. Griffin slows down to jump over the last one. When he does, he face plants on the ground but he doesn't bump into the hurdle.
"Good job." Jessica says, handing Zander the clue. Zander helps Griffin up and they take off. By the time Barbara & Eddy, Amy & Hector, and Maxwell & Richard make it to the first challenge, Becky & KiKi, Milon & Zax, and Zoe & Patricia finish the hurdles race.
Meanwhile, Tammy & Rachel make it to the pool first. "It's my turn to perform." Rachel says. Despite being a cat, she jumps into the water and start swimming. Vince & Sam and Diesel & DeeDee show up not a minute later. Vince and DeeDee jump in and start swimming.
"You can do this, Vince!" Sam cheers.
"C'mon DeeDee! Show the water who's boss!" Diesel shouts. Rachel brings back her first flag as Vince and DeeDee are halfway back with their first flag. Kit & Kitty soon show up with Griffin & Zander.
"I'm up!" Kitty says. She jumps right in and starts swimming to the other side.
"I'm up, baby." Zander says. "So you don't have to worry about anything." He jumps in too and starts swimming. Rachel, Vince, and DeeDee continue to fight for first place. As Kitty and Zander retrieve their second flag, Rachel and Vince get their third one to their partners at the same time.
"Run!" Sam says as he pulls Vince out of the water. Tammy & Rachel are right behind them. Sam makes it to the clue box and takes the next clue. "Route Info: it's a 200 yard race north to the checkpoint."
"C'mon!" Vince says.
"Hurry!" Tammy says as they run. DeeDee gets out of the water with her third flag as Milon & Zax and Becky & KiKi arrive at the pool. "There's the checkpoint!" Toner stands with a magazine in paw next to the checkered rug. The Cruise Directors and Olympians run neck and neck for the win.
"And first place goes to..." Toner starts out. "Vince & Sam."
"Yes! We won!" Sam hugs then kisses Vince. The hold paws as they step off the rug.
"And in second place..."
"NOOOOO!!!!" Tammy get on her knees. "We're Olympians!! How did we only get SILVER?!?!?"
"At least we're still in the race." Rachel says. But Tammy still has her fists clenched and her eyes are twitching.

"Thanks." Shelly says. Her and Fran run off with the next clue as Jasper & Mitch take a turn. They both do well on the easy hurdles but struggle more on the taller ones. When they reach the end, Jessica gives them the clue.
"Merci." Jasper says. "Oh wait, that's French. My bad."
"Let's go, bro." Mitch says.
"This is so hard!" Miles says.
"I know." Joey says. They reach Jessica and they get their next clue. Boomer & Joe step up next.
"You can do this honey." Joe says. When the horn blasts, Joe speeds through the hurdles. Boomer, like Griffin, has trouble catching up. When he makes it to the end, Jessica gives them the next clue.
"Was I terrible?" Boomer asks when they start running to the next task.
"No way. You were amazing." Joe says. It's Maxwell & Richard's turn. The horn sounds and they start running.
"This is easy." Richard says.
"I wouldn't be saying that!" Maxwell says as he points out the other hurdles ahead of him. Richard makes them over just fine, but Maxwell knocks it over trying to jump over it. They get sent to the back of the line. It's Barbara & Eddy's turn.
"Let's do this!" Barbara says. The horn sounds and they start running.

Kitty and DeeDee get their three flags and they run towards the checkpoint. "Got them!" Patricia says.
"'Bout time. Let's hurry up!" Zoe says as they start running.
"It's my turn." Zax says. He jumps into the water and starts swimming.
"Looks like I'm up." Joe says.
"Me too." KiKi says. "Shall we cannonball?"
"Oh yeah!" The two jump into the pool together.
"Got the flags!" Zander says. "C'mon, kitty!" Him and Griffin head to the checkpoint.
"I'm up." Miles says. He gets in the pool and swims towards the flags. Shelly is in the pool too, with a flag in paw, making her way back to Fran. Zax, KiKi, and Joe return with their first and second flags as Shelly gets her third. By this time, Amy & Hector and Barbara & Eddy have finished the hurdles.
"You ate the cheese so I guess it's my turn." Amy says as she jumps into the water and starts swimming.
"Good luck!" Hector says.
"Your turn." Barbara says. "I ate those weird cheeses."
"I know!" Eddy says. He gets into the water and races for his first flag.
Diesel & DeeDee- 3rd place
Kit & Kitty- 4th place
Zoe & Patricia- 5th place
Griffin & Zander- 6th place
Becky & KiKi- 7th place
Milon & Zax- 8th place
Boomer & Joe- 9th place
"What happened to you two? You were ahead of most of the others!" Toner says.
"Sorry. It's just that Shelly had to use the restroom and couldn't wait until we checked in." Fran says.
"I'm sorry that my bladder was about to explode." Shelly says sarcastically.
"Whatever. 10th place." Toner says.
"Oh man! How did we get this far behind?" Jasper asks when him and Mitch arrive at the pool.
"Not sure." Mitch says. "But maybe we oughta hurry up and do the task before another team shows up." Jasper jumps into the water as Maxwell & Richard arrive.
"Good thing I'm a good swimmer." Maxwell says as he gets in the pool and starts swimming. Eddy and Amy race neck and neck as they get theirs second flag back to their teammates.
"One more to go!" Barbara says.
"I know, woman! Don't rush me!" Eddy says swimming back.
"You're almost there, Amy!" Hector says. Amy gets her third flag and heads back as Eddy gets his. Miles makes it back to his partner with three flags in paw.
"Nice!" Joey says. "Now let's make it to the checkpoint!" The run off as Amy gets out of the water with three flags.
"Great job!" Hector says. The two start running as Eddy gets out next.
Miles & Joey- 11th place
Amy & Hector- 12th place
Barbara & Eddy- 13th place.
"Thirteenth? That's still low!" Barbara says.
"Hey! We're still in the race, right? So stop getting on my case!" Eddy says. It's all down to the yiff stars, fraternity brothers, and Hooker & Customer.
"Hurry up, Maxwell!" Richard cries. He has two flags in paw as his partner gets their third flag and starts returning.
"C'mon man!" Mitch says. Jasper and Maxwell swim as fast as they can to their partners. When Jasper makes it back, Mitch pulls him out with all the strength he has. "Great job, man. Let's go!"
"Grab my paw!" Richard says. Maxwell reaches up and Richards helps pull him out. They take off running towards the checkpoint.
"We're gonna make it!" Jasper says.
"Not if we have anything to say about it!" Maxwell says behind the frat bros. Jasper & Mitch start to pick up the pace as Toner comes into view.
"Jasper & Mitch." Toner says. "Great job, 14th place."
"Sweet!" Jasper says. Him and Mitch hi5 and they step off the rug. Maxwell & Richard walk up to the rug but they don't step on it.
"Do we even bother?" Richard asks.
"Well..." Toner says, "the yiff stars never checked in."
"You mean?" Maxwell's ears and tail perk up as he pulls himself and Richard onto the rug.
"Mall Hooker and Customer, you're in 15th place, AKA still in the race!" Toner announces.
"Yay!!" Richard says. He hugs Maxwell tight and kisses him.

"Is your ankle better, baby?" Phil asks. Paul steps on his foot and even though he feels slight pain, it's a lot better.
"Yes." Paul says. "Now let's do this thing."
"I wouldn't bother." Toner says, walking towards them at the starting line of the hurdles race. "The other 15 teams have checked in. You two are cut from the race. I'm sorry. Buh-bye!" He waves then turns around walking away.
"Oh." Paul pins his ears down.
"Let's go." Phil carries Paul back to their cab. "Well, coming 3 days into the race ain't too bad, right?"
"I guess being first ones out would've stunk. I just wish we could've been able to stick around a little longer."
"Me too. Oh well. Wanna go home where can take turns fucking the shit out of each other again?"
"Oh yes!!" Paul kisses Phil roughly, immediately shoving tongue into his muzzle.
