Why did the entire island smell a bit like chocolate pudding? It was probably nothing, right?

"Welcome to our team-building exercise today!" Anakin yelled through his megaphone. "It's based on a series of obstacle courses called a Tough Mudder, but mud is too easy! Since everyone enjoyed this so much last year--" debatable, "--we are doing it again!"

...that would explain the pudding smell.

"Working in teams of four, you will race around the island, conquering each obstacle! McGarrett, stop looking so excited about this. Listen for your names! NO POWERS."

“A piggy back ride could work,” Guillermo nodded and then tried to consider the logistics because he’d never done a piggyback ride with anyone before, “er - so do I just climb onto your back?” he asked rather awkwardly.

"Ah yeah..." Connor said awkwardly as he knelt down to make it easier. "Ummm... arms around my neck.. just try not to choke me alright?" Silently, Connor was glad he had chosen to wear one of his scarfs that day.

"Ok...um so no choking, got it ..." Guillermo said nervously because it would be just his luck if he ended up accidentally choking his teacher wouldn't it? "So I put my arms around your neck like this?" and he leaned against Connor as he carefully wrapped his arms around his neck.

"Aye good lad," Connor said encouragingly. "And then we'll just..." Connor started to try and stand and get his balance.

Guillermo found himself closing his eyes suddenly as he tried to remember to not grip Connor too tightly but he was finding it really hard to not imagine a scenario where they got through this without toppling over and he clung a little bit too tightly onto Connor as he tried to make sure his legs were in a position where Connor could grab them.

“I … I think I’m secure enough,” he wasn’t really but hopefully it was enough that Connor could at least carry him?
