part 16

Rhys: Let's get these pictures taken quickly. The sooner we get out of here and forget about this.

Christian: Forgotten. Do you think this will be forgotten? Pictures will be forever in there minds

Josh: Yeah, and how many times have the girls taken stupid pictures of us. Remember that picture of you and Rhys' horse back then....

Christian: That picture is destroyed forever

Rhys: It wasn't your fault.

Christian: Shut up

Alex: Okay. The first picture is us standing behind each other. It's not that hard.

Christian & Alex: I'm in the front.

Rhys: I think, who got into a relationship first.

Christian: What a stupid rule.

Josh: You think everything is stupid

Christian: looks at him.

Josh: But that's what we like about you.

Christian: .......

Josh: Please don't blow up my car.

Christian: What car?

Josh: Dude! You leave Bianca alone.

Alex: Bianca? What happend to Tracy?

Josh: Jules.

Alex: Ah.

Christian: Of course you named your car. Idiot

Antonie: Kids, kids.  Those photos won't come by themselves. Come on. Make your girls proud.

Rhys: You mean, make them laughing

Antonie: Come on. You can do it.

The men sigh deeply and finally stand in a row.

Antonie: This must be it? Raises his eyebrow.

Alex: Take that photo.

Antonie: Okay, okay. Takes the photo.

Then types something on his laptop that is connected to the camera.

Christian: What are you doing.

Antonie: Just look at the screen. Points to the TV screen that hangs on the wall.

The men look questioningly at the TV screen that is black at first. But then a ❌ appears on the screen.

Rhys: What does that mean.

Antonie: That means the girls have rejected the photo. It's not right yet.

Josh: I know the girls are looking at this now with a drink in their hands.

Christian: Well, Alex. What are we doing wrong.

Alex: Sighs deeply.  Mumbles softly. We need to grab each other's shoulders.

Christian: Urg.

Rhys: Okay, we only have to do this for 5 seconds okay. Let's be quick.

Josh: 3, 2, 1....go.

They grab each other's shoulders and look at the camera.

Antonie: Look, this looks more like it.

Christian: Take that picture.

Antonie: Cheese cuties...

Josh: Smiles.

Antonie: Takes the picture and shares it again.

TV screen: ✅

Alex: Good.

Rhys: What's next.

Antonie: Milkshake time! Has a large glass of milkshake in his hand with 4 straws.

Josh: Wait. Who made that Milkshake?

Antonie: Jules.

Josh: Okay. Not drinking it then. Clear.

Antonie: Put the milkshake on a table.

Alex: Once we're all 3 on that straw. Take the picture. Not a second longer. Understood.

Antonie: Okay, daddy. Chill.

Alex: Narrows his eyes.

Rhys: okay....3...2...1... Go.

All the men going for a straw with their lips.

Christian and Josh almost touching each other lips.

Christian: Pushes him away. That is my straw!

Josh: No! That was obviously my straw.

Christian: No, you go to the left.

Rhys: No thats mine.

Alex: I have the right side. Josh take the yellow one.

Josh: Oke oke. Gosh, your all so bosy. Jeez.

Rhys: Yhea, ready, 3... 2... 1...

The man all take straw with there lips

Antonie: You guys are cuties. Takes the picture. Oh. Perfect.

The men immediately take a big step back.

Josh: Quickly put the milkshake away.

The TV screen: ✅

Rhys: Thank God we didn't eat anything with garlic this afternoon.

Alex: Okay, the next one is that all 4 of us have to jump in the air at the same time. Not hard.

Antonie: And you can laugh a little more too.

Alex: no

Antonie: Alright

Christian: Okay. Who's counting down.

Josh: Me! 3....2...1... Jump.

The men jump.

Antonie: takes a picture and shares it with the girls.

TV screen: ❌

Rhys: What.

Antonie: You didn't jump at the same time.

Alex: Why don't you just say that right away instead of sending that picture.

Antonie: That makes it fun.

Rhys: Okay. Let's try again. 3...2..

Josh: Hey hey hey. I'm the countdown here.

Christian: And you failed.

Josh: Probably because you jumped too late.

Alex: Pinch the bridge of his nose.

Rhys: Here we go. 3...2....1...jump!

The men jump again.

Antonie: Takes another picture and sends it again.

The TV screen: ✅

Christian: We're so good at listening to our majesty.

Alex: Okay... now we're going to lie on the ground in a circle with our heads together. We can't mess this one up.

Josh: looks at Antonie.  When was the last time you vacuumed here.

Antonie: Yesterday.

Josh: Yuck.

Alex: Go. Lie. Down. Josh

Josh: okay

The other guys also lie down and put their heads together.

Antonie: Hangs over them with the camera at them. Say: Surprise: Throws flower petals in their faces and immediately takes a picture of it

Christian: What the hell.

Antonie: A request from the girls.

Tv screen: ✅

Alex: I can't believe they saw that.

Josh: And they're probably saving it.

Christian: Maybe, but all the pictures will be deleted by the end of this day.

Rhys: Oke... What is the next one.

Alex:......

Josh: Its a bad one. Thats for sure.

Antonie: I love this part actually.

Christian: Owno... Not that one.

Josh: What. Wich is it.

Alex: Laying on top on each other...

Christian: Antonie, I really, really need something stronger. Please

In the hospital

Elena: Lays in her bed and wakes up to noises

Evi: This is a stupid plan

Nikolai: Nope

Evi: Yes.

Nikolai: Nope

Elena: Opens her eyes and sees her friends sitting in her room.

Rowan: Sees Elena wake up and smiles at her.

Evi: Oh great. Now you woke her up

Nikolai: You did that too!

Elena: rubs her eyes. What's going on here?

Tess: Did you sleep well?

Rowan: Are you feeling better?

Elena: nods. Why are you here?

Evi: Because Nikolai is going to ask you a stupid question.

Nikolai: It's not stupid.

Elena: What is it? Rubs her eyes.

Nikolai: I have to go into town. To find someone.

Elena: Frowns. Who?

Nikolai: A boy named Brandon.

Tess: Why again.

Nikolai: Just...he's nice. I'm sure you'll like him.

Evi: You want to go into town because a boy was nice to you?

Nikolai: Yeah.

Elena: Your parents are coming to pick you up any minute, right? Maybe you can search with them.

Nikolai: No, there was a situation at home with one of my sisters that prevented my parents from coming here tonight. So that will be tomorrow.

Elena: Oh, but then you can search tomorrow.

Nikolai: No, because my home is further away. So we won't be in this city anymore. And I don't know how long Brandon will be here.

Elena: So...what are you going to do now?

Nikolai: I'm going into town tonight. And you guys are coming with me

Tess: Claps her hands. Yeeeees

Elena: But... How? Does Doctor Amber know about this? Nurse Kim?

Nikolai: No, of course not.  They'll never let us go. That's why we're going in secret. Like ninjas.

Evi: I told you it was a stupid idea.

Nikolai: It's not stupid. It'll be really cool. Going to town with your friends. Spending the night. Have you ever been to the city at night?

Elena: No....

Nikolai: And you won't get the chance to do that anymore.

Evi: punches him in the side. That's not nice.

Elena: But he's right....

Rowan: You can probably still do fun things.

Elena: Yes, but not with you guys anymore. Nikolai is leaving tomorrow. Tess in 3 days... I'm never going to see you again... sits up more. Let's do it.

Nikolai: Yes!

Evi: What?

Rowan: Are you sure? I don't know if I'm brave enough

Tess: Looks at Rowan. Then you can tell everyone that you're going to design clothes with Stella.  And I can try on those clothes.

Rowan: Oh. That's true.

Evi: Daddy always says it's very dangerous in the city.

Nikolai: Come on Evi. I'll protect you. And...I'll buy you an ice cream.

Evi: a tripple Rainbow unicorn ice cream?

Christian: With glitter sprinkles.

Evi: Grins

Elena: Smiles. Okay. Then we're going tonight. This is going to be a night we won't forget

Nikolai: The best of the best!

Tess: Shhh be quite before someone hear us.

Rowan: Are you sure you can handle it. Are you strong enough?

Elena: Yes. I promised King Rhys that I would stay strong and live longer. I'm keeping that promise
