As the time in Taiwan went by, the end of the camp came. The rookies had their final exam, a match with the Taiwanese players from the camp. They were mixed together then broken into two teams to test how they had improved throughout the camp. Dan pitched two innings, nine batters with no hit but three walks. Matt went for one single in three at-bats with two stolen bases, and Josh pitched 2/3 inning, giving up a 2-run homerun. Three of them still have a lot of work to do to send themself to the FBL.

In the hotel, hearing someone knocking on the door, Dan gets up from his bed then walks to the door. "Who is it?" He grunts. Dan opens it and sees Josh standing.

"Hey, are you ready?" Josh asks. He notices Dan is still in his pajamas, then he rushes him. "Are you still sleeping? Come on, we are running late."

"Hand on. Just a second." says Dan. Dan and other rookies finished their camp the day before and will head back to Formosa the next day. Today Alex and Nova are going to take those boys from Formosa to the capital of Taiwan, Taipei. They will visit the tallest building in Taiwan, which is called Taipei 101.

"Come on." says Josh, "Hurry up!!"

"Ok. Ok. Give me a second." says Dan. Dan tells Josh he will be ready in ten minutes and invites him to wait in the room. Josh nods and walks into his room, and Dan heads to the bathroom. He grabs the toothbrush and the toothpaste getting ready to brush his teeth. Seconds later, he washes his face after doing his teeth. Dan is used to taking a shower before he goes to bed so he doesn't need to take another shower in the morning. When he's done in the bathroom, Dan walks out of it then starts changing his clothes. It's a little cold out there. He puts on his sweatpants and a black sweater.

"Ready?" asks Josh. He gets up from the chair.

"Yes." Dan nods. They walk to the elevators and wait for it to arrive. They are going to the buffet area to grab some breakfast. Matt was really hungry so he didn't wait for them and went for breakfast by himself. After a couple minutes of walking, when the two reach the buffet, he is already there having his breakfast. Dan and Josh see him and wave at him.

"Finally. You Guys are so late. What took you this long?" asks Matt.

"Sorry. I kind of overselt." Dan chuckles, "Josh woke me up."

"What?" Matt laughs.

"Yeah, he's not lying." says Josh.

"Haha. You're unbelievable." says Matt.

Dan shrugs and looks around, "I'm hungry. Let's go get some food." he turns to Josh.

"Ok." Josh nods, "Let's go." Then two of them walk away to grab their food.

"See you in a bit." says Dan.

"Yup." Matt nods.

While Dan and Josh are off for their food, Matt's sitting in his seat and enjoying the meal. Seconds later, Dan walks back to the table with a palate full of food, and soon, Josh walks to the table and joins them. They sit down and talk about what they should do around Taipei 101. They keep talking and discussing where they need to go when they are in Taipei. Three of them are becoming excited and looking forward to the day, and it doesn't take them long to finish eating while having a good time making their plan. They move to the lobby to wait for the trip to begin after having breakfast. "I'm so excited." says Matt.

The three are the first ones to arrive and wait in the lobby. Other players start to show up and gather in the lobby. Dan looks around, and it seems like everyone is ready to go. "Ok. Let me see…" says Alex. He calls the players to gather together, making sure everybody is at the lobby, he then takes them to the bus, "Here we go. We got everyone." On the bus, he explains the plan to the boys, they will take a bus to the train station then transfer to the high-speed rail. It will take them to Taipei main station, then they need to take the subway to Taipei 101.

"It's gonna be long." Dan whispers. Noticing that it might be a long trip to Taipei, Dan starts to worry if they will have enough time to walk around in the capital. He sits next to Josh and asks him how long they will spend on the traffic. Josh senses his worry and tells him it won't take too long. The train is fast, and the subway is fast as well. They will probably be there by noon. Alex tells them that they will have the whole afternoon to explore the place, and they will have to meet up at one of the entrances of Taipei 101 by 6 pm.

Alex finishes talking and stands straight, he glances at Nova, "Are we good to go?" asks Alex.

"Everyone is good to go, let's hit the road." Nova nods.
