"UGH! I swear to god, Professor Edward has a grudge against us children. The test papers he gave were harder than a diamond!" Alex complained.

"You think? I'm going to have him as my chemistry professor next year." Aria said.

"Oh, you poor thing! Good luck with that. I'm free from her now!" Alex said and gave an evil chuckle.

"Quit scaring me, you idiot, I'm anyway smarter than you so I'm going to ace this class next year unlike you." Aria said with a triumphant smile while Alex glared at her.

"Anyway, there is no reason we should be talking about this. It is time for SOF." Alex said.

"Study over free time?" Aria enquired.

"Aria! For heaven's sake, our exams are over and we need our SOF! The books have really gotten into you little dumb head huh?". Alex exclaimed.

"What the hell is that?" Lisa questioned.

"Summer of fun, DUH!" Alex answered and Aria nodded agreeingly.  

It was a sunny day. Felix, Alex, Lisa, and Aria were walking leisurely on the way back home. Their exams just got over and they are crazily happy about it. The younger ones (Aria and Alex) are way behind the older ones (Felix and Lisa). The older ones are buying ice creams.

"Aria! Alex! Come here. Stay with us on the road. Don't wander away, I don't want to hear any scoldings from any uncle or aunt today. We are getting ice cream. Which flavour do you want?" Said the oldest, Felix.

"We're getting ice cream?! Yay! Felix, you are the best! I'll have vanilla on a cone." Said an Excited Aria.

"And I'll have mint chocolate, Felix the fab." Teased Alex.

Felix laughed at the younger ones' and said, "Well, thank you for the compliments, but it's Lisa who is getting it, I'm just paying."

They all walked up to the shop where Lisa was buying the ice cream.

"Umm, we want a cone for vanilla, mint chocolate, strawberry, and chocolate separately. How much will that be?" Lisa asked the shopkeeper.

"That'll be 16 dollars, thank you." Said the shopkeeper, handing all the cones.

Felix paid, and they all resumed their way home while having ice cream.

Discussing about various things, they all sauntered. They were in no hurry today.

"Guys, it'll be a shame if we don't go anywhere during these holidays" Alex remarked suddenly.

"Don't worry, there is no chance we will let that happen. We will go somewhere really soon. Any suggestions?" Lisa stated.

"How about Waser Hills?" Asked Felix

"Nah, we already visited it last year." Lisa replied.

"Cilia lake?" Alex suggested.

"It is closed right now." Aria informed

"Koroko aquarium?" Lisa asked.

"Some gang raided it, they probably destroyed it." Alex remarked.

"Sun and Fun theme park?" Aria enquired

"That theme park was found to be using a dangerous chemical in their pool, so they were forced to close it and pay 2 billion dollars." Felix said with a sigh.

They all sighed, feeling dejected. These holidays did not seem so exciting now!

By then, they had reached their homes.

"Guys, go home and rest. We'll plan something. Cheer up you all, our exams are over! No more all-nighters! No more curfew on video games! No ban on ice cream! We can play badminton for as long as we like! We are free! Anyway, take a rest, we probably have not slept well in the last 15 days, and all the mugging up of formulas has got to our heads. Bye, meet ya'll at the Lavender Lane garden at 6:30 pm for badminton." Alex cheered them up and went to his home.

After bidding each other bye, the four friends dispersed to their respective homes, seeking the comfort of their rooms after the taxing days of exams.

In her room, Aria collapsed onto her bed, and the weight of exams finally lifted. Her room was a cozy haven, adorned with fairy lights that cast a gentle, dreamlike glow. She changed into her favourite pajamas, a sense of relief washing over her as she snuggled into her soft blankets. Aria's mind buzzed briefly with thoughts of the day's events before sleep started to claim her, eyelids drooping as she succumbed to exhaustion.

Lisa, in her room, dimmed the lights and sank into her favourite reading chair. She indulged in a chapter of her favourite book, savouring the moments of peace. The day's stress slowly ebbed away as she nestled into her sheets, a contented smile playing on her lips as she drifted off to sleep.

Alex, in his room, kicked off his shoes and sprawled across his bed, scrolling through his phone for a few minutes. With a sigh, he set his phone aside, feeling the weight of exhaustion in his bones. He tossed and turned for a moment before finding the perfect position, letting out a long breath as he surrendered to the embrace of sleep.

Felix, in his room, lounged on his bed with a bag of snacks at hand, mindlessly watching a show on his laptop. The laughter from the screen slowly faded into the background as fatigue washed over him. He set aside the laptop, the room now bathed in a soft glow from his bedside lamp, and closed his eyes, succumbing to the welcoming embrace of slumber.

Everyone woke up from their nap with a buzz on their phone. Adrenaline rushed through them when they saw the message in the group.

F.A.L.A VIBEZ

Alex: I. HAVE. TEA.

COME FAST TO THE L.L PARK! I'VE GOT SOMETHING MISCHIEVIOUS UP MY ARMS.

@AriaMaria

@LisaPisa

@Felixthefab

They all got up from their bed and washed their faces. The girls combed their hair. In no time they were running to the Lavender Lane.

Alex was first. He was sitting on a bench, waiting for others.

Felix came running through the door of the park. By the time he reached Alex, he was panting. He asked breathlessly, "What 'tea' were you talking about? What happened?"

"Felix the fab, patience! I'll tell everything when the girls arrive...."
