"Your boat is holding up really well, Sophie!" he called as he kept going. He was still going to beat her, he knew it!! He didn't care if the boat collapsed and he was riding on one board, he'd WIN!
Then, suddenly, he reached the end of the rope. The boat JERKED to a stop and he felt down, dropping the paddle as he flew down to the dock of the boat in what was probably a very hilarious fashion.
Sophie could hear Caleb's agreement coming from somewhere behind her. Heh. She was going to beat him, of course! She continued paddling at full speed, using all her arm strength to get her out there as quickly as possible. Too bad there wasn't a spell for this...
She grinned at the sound of his compliment. Of course her boat was holding up well. SHE'D made it, after all. Come to think of it, though...
"So is yours," she said.
BUT WAIT.
Nooooo!!! It only occurred to Sophie after she'd given him that compliment that his voice was now coming from IN FRONT of her. Her rope jerked to a screeching halt, and she stopped beside Caleb who'd gotten there a second before her.
"Well, it was obviously because you're using MY boat and rope," she said. Sigh. She needed to congratulate him.
"Just kidding. Congrats, little bro."
