Torie and Ryan have been battling over the pit at MudFest for three years. Every year his team, the Earth Movers, beats her team, the Mud Moppets. Sure, tug-of-war is for fun and to benefit their respective charities, but just once she'd like to hold the MudFest Cup. But this year, things are a little different, because her feelings for Ryan aren't just competitive anymore.
