As the afternoon sun dipped below the horizon, casting a warm glow over Las Vegas, the girls parted ways for a few hours to spend time with their newfound interests.

Chloe and Landon wandered through the lively streets of Las Vegas, stopping at a trendy café for a late lunch. The city's buzz was contagious, and Chloe couldn't help but feel excited.

"So, what's it like being a famous TikToker?" Chloe asked, sipping her iced coffee.

Landon grinned. "It's fun, but it can be a lot sometimes. The pressure to constantly put out content can get overwhelming."

Chloe nodded, her eyes sparkling with interest. "I can imagine. But you handle it so well. Your videos are always on point."

Landon leaned in slightly, his voice lowering. "Thanks, but I have to admit, it's nice to just relax and hang out with someone who doesn't see me as 'Landon the TikToker.'"

Chloe blushed slightly, tucking a strand of hair behind her ear. "Well, I'm glad I can be that someone for you."

Meanwhile, Serena was at a rooftop bar with Rex, the lights of the city twinkling around them. The music thumped in the background, and Serena felt a thrill as they talked.

"So, DJ Rex, huh?" Serena teased, taking a sip of her drink. "Remind me again, why do you go by Rex instead of Ethan?"

Rex smiled, leaning back in his chair. "Ethan's too plain for the DJ world. Rex has more edge, and it just stuck."

Serena grinned. "Definitely. So, how did you get into DJing?"

Ethan's eyes lit up. "It started as a hobby in high school, just mixing tracks for fun. Then it turned into something more when I started getting gigs. Now, it's my life."

Serena leaned forward, genuinely interested. "That's awesome. You must love it."

Ethan nodded. "I do. There's nothing like feeling the crowd's energy when you're up there."

Serena smiled, feeling the connection between them grow. "You're passionate about what you do. That's rare to find."

Ethan looked at her, his expression softening. "You're different, Serena. I like that."

At the same time, Maya was back at the hotel when her phone buzzed. She glanced at the screen and saw a text from Alex.

Alex: Hey, my shift's over. Do you want to hang out?

Maya smiled and quickly typed a response.

Maya: I'd love to. Where should we meet?

Alex: How about that diner we talked about earlier?*

Maya: Perfect. See you in 20?

Alex: Can't wait.

Maya felt a flutter of excitement as she got ready to meet him. When she arrived at the cozy diner, Alex was already there, waiting with a warm smile.

"Hey, I'm glad you could make it," Maya greeted him.

Alex returned the smile, his eyes twinkling. "Wouldn't miss it. How was the rest of your day?"

"Pretty chill," Maya replied. "But I have to say, I'm still thinking about that breakfast. You really outdid yourself."

Alex chuckled. "I'm glad you liked it. Cooking is my passion, just like DJing is for Rex and TikToking is for Landon."

Maya grinned. "I could tell. Your food has soul, you know? It's more than just cooking-it's art."

Alex's smile widened. "That means a lot, coming from you. So, what about you? What's your passion?"

Maya hesitated for a moment, then said, "I'm still figuring that out. But right now, I'm enjoying life and taking things as they come."

As the evening wore on, the girls eventually regrouped at their hotel, buzzing with excitement from their day. They changed into their party outfits, ready to hit the Las Vegas nightlife together.

Chloe, as always, led the charge, shouting, "Vegas, baby! Let's make this night unforgettable!"

Maya laughed, adjusting her dress. "You sure know how to hype us up, Chloe."

Serena smirked. "It's what she does best. Now let's get out there and show this city what we're made of!"

As they hit the strip, the city's neon lights and pulsating energy enveloped them. Chloe was the first to hit the dance floor, immediately finding a pole and dancing around it with carefree abandon.

Maya mostly stuck to the bar, enjoying a drink and chatting with other people there, soaking in the lively atmosphere. Serena was vibing to the music, dancing in her own little world until Ethan, aka DJ Rex, joined her.

"Having a good time?" he asked, leaning close so she could hear him over the music.

"The best!" Serena replied, her smile wide as she let the music take over.

The three friends were living it up in Vegas, making memories they knew they'd never forget.
