Private messages: Dan - Ajit.

Ajit: OH MY GOD I'M SO SORRY

Ajit: somehow my message notifications got turned off and it's been in my bag the whole time except when I was taking pictures or videos so I didn't get notifications for anything on here

Ajit: there was no need to worry about me though! earlier on I got some weird text from Noah to meet him at the school gates so I went there and Emily was there too and Noah got us out of the school and then we met Magnus and apparently the two had had the idea to drag us along to the amusement park

Dan: ohhhh don't wory about it!

Dan: I was just really worried people at school were being rude again about your past y'know?

Ajit: ah no that's not happened in ages even before the holidays

Dan: oh! I'm glad!

Dan: so in that case, what's the amusement park like?? this is your first time going to one right???

Ajit: oh yeah it is!! it's great!!!! we all kinda split off into 3 groups, the G4 as one group, Emily, Riot, Aay and Everett as another then just me and Magnus but the group's changed after a while- mostly after the incident on the waltzer- so rn the G4 have been joined up with us since lunch, it's been a lot of fun!! I honestly loved the chair swings, the sizzler, the waltzer, the rollercoasters, the log flume even though I got soaked and idk what it's called but you kinda go up then drop then up then drop it's really fun too!

Dan: sounds awesome!! also what was the incident on the waltzer

Ajit: it's funnier if I explain it in person tbh then you can see the pictures too

Ajit: I mean I could just send them but like that way you don't get the commentary on them y'know??

Dan: totally! I'll wait then :D

Dan: so what are you doing rn?

Ajit: right now? I'm just waiting for Magnus and the G4, we were all gonna go on the chair swings but Paul started to feel sick again so I offered to stay with him although partially that was because I figured that something was off with my phone bc Magnus mentioned the amount of gc notifications he had earlier but I didn't seem to have any so I wanted to check

Ajit: also we're watching Everett and Aay try to win the ring toss game- they don't seem to realise it's rigged. though I don't think Paul realises either aha

Dan: haha sounds great!

Ajit: it is! so what are you doing??

Dan: actually I'm hanging out with Kurin at the school music rooms, bc of some conversation in the gc he wanted to see what my singing is like even though I warned him in dms that I sound like a constipated chicken when I sing.

Ajit: oml how'd that go for you?

Dan: uhhh he didn't make fun of me, which is good!! he did say that I should try practicing more to get it so sound more like I want it too bc y'know I get annoyed with how my singing voice sounds, I acc told him that

Dan: so I'm gonna use this as an excuse to rewatch monster high boo york boo york more often tbh

Ajit: oh nice! I'll join you with that :) sounds fun! and if you want I can help with you practicing?

Dan: awesome!! thanks!!

Dan: you wanna know what else Kurin said?

Ajit: yeah?

Dan: that I'd be good at making meme versions of songs and things like Minecraft parodies haha

Ajit: that's honestly a fact, you're great at that stuff

Ajit: btw the others just got back, Noah says hi to you

Dan: oh! tell him I say hi back

Ajit: just did!

Dan: sweet! so what time are you getting back??

Ajit: mmm the park shuts at 5 so I'll be back at like half past maybe?

Dan: gotcha! I'm gonna be back at about half 4 so an hour before you haha

Ajit: alright :)

Ajit: well I'm gonna go for a bit, the up and down ride idk the name of just freed up and I kinda wanna go on it

Dan: ooohhhh gotcha! I'll seeya later then Ajit! have fun!

Ajit: yeah you too! seeya Dan!

later irl.

"C'mon!! I've waited since you got home, all through dinner and while Mom made us clear up! You have to tell me now!" Dan pleaded, sitting cross-legged on his bed.

Ajit smiled, a mischievous smile, "But Dan I'm really tired. Mind if I tell you in the morning?" He joked, barely supressing a snicker.

"Ajit!"

"I'm kidding! I'm kidding!" He burst out into laughter, "Man you should see your face, it's almost as priceless as when I gave you that sour apple!"

Dan shook his head and gave a slight laugh too, "Oh man, haha! But seriously you gotta tell me now!"

"Alright." Ajit agreed, nodding, "Okay so..."

Ajit began to tell the story of his day. Starting from when he'd gotten that text from Noah then when he'd ran into Emily at the gate who'd recieved the same text but from Magnus. Then how they'd seen Noah in the tree and he'd gotten them out of the school. On their way they'd met Magnus who'd explained what was going on as both were still clueless at the time and when they got to the amusement park they'd met up the others.

Once they'd all gone through the entrance, the group split into smaller groups, Riot dragged Emily and Aay off with her while Everett followed them, Julia announced a competition idea for the Glanz four (Eat a ton of food then go on the waltzer. First to throw up loses) and they ran off. Which left Ajit with Magnus, as neither of them had ever gone to an amusement park before they decided to try going on all the rides starting from whatever they both decide to go on first from looking around.

That first ride ended up being the chair swings, so from there they began to make their way around the park, although heading to the waltzer second so they could have a go before the Glanz four finished the eating part of their challenge. While they were on there Magnus muttered about how he bets they'll be filming for their channel.

As they found out later, he was right. The Glanz four had been filming.

Within fifteen minutes of the Glanz four going on the waltzer, Ajit and Magnus had been joined in the line for the log flume.

"Ah, one of you failed the challenge already?" Magnus shook his head, "Who was it?"

"Paul lost! We got it all on video if ya wanna see? We're gonna upload it to our channel later, everything from the eating part to the vomiting..!"

"No thanks."

"Aw come on! I know you watch our channel Magnus." Noah teased.

Ajit looked over at his- wait what even are they- like they're technically together but not at the same time... Whatever. Ajit looked over at Magnus curiously "You watch their videos?"

"Absolutely not. They're all stupid challenges like the one they just did or just dumb things. Seriously! I have never gone to school in my life but even I know it's dumb to throw handmade darts in a classroom!" Magnus started venting, "Not to mention how crazy do you have to be for all four of you to climb that high up a tree and to be racing at the same time." He shot Noah a glare. "And who the hell would run across a busy road rather than going under the subway just to catch a Pokémon in Pokémon GO?! You all could've died, you're seriously lucky not to have been injured at all."

Noah tilted his head and grinned at Ajit, Ajit grinned back stifling a laugh, "You don't watch their channel, huh?"

Magnus flushed red realising he'd all but admitted he watched their channel.

The other two both laughed.

"Oh shut up!"

"Aww but why should we?" Noah joke complained as they moved forward in the line.

"Sometimes like right now I feel like I should've left that groupchat right from the start..." He muttered in reply.

"You did!" Ajit laughed, the three reached the top of the steps, showed the guy on duty their wristbands and they all stepped into a log.

As they all began to move up the ride they continued their conversation until they got to the drop, at which point Noah ducked down behind Ajit and said "The one time being short is an advantage." Then screamed, "HERE WE GO!" right in both of the other's ears.

Magnus turned to glare at him, "Hey what was that for?!"

"Oh I bet I know!" Ajit replied, also ducking down.

Magnus turned back around, "Oh fu-!"

The log went downhill fast as the three screamed, then crashed down into the water below. Noah began to laugh, "Oh man, that was awesome!"

Magnus raised an eyebrow, "Even though it soaked all of us?"

"Obviously! That's the whole fun in it! WOO!" He cheered.

"It was pretty fun.." Ajit smiled.

"Yeah I guess it was..." The oldest of the three replied, smiling slightly too.

It was only when they all got off the log flume when they got a good look at each other. From where it'd gotten soaked Magnus's hair had sort of fallen across his face, covering one of his eyes, the shortest of the trio burst out laughing, "Oh my god, dude you look like Julia!" He snorted.

"Like you can talk." The tallest grumbled, "How can you even see with your hair covering both your eyes?" He asked sarcastically in return.

"It's called magical powers Magnus, you should try them sometime. Anyway where are we going now?"

The Aurelius brawler shrugged "Over there looks cool, I mean, that rollercoaster over there does."

"Then let's go!" Noah cheered, already running off ahead.

"I would not even be suprised if he tripped, fell flat on his face and got a concussion."

Ajit rolled his eyes good naturedly and grabbed the other's hand, "And in the category of stupidity would that be worse or better than getting one by falling off a skateboard while texting?" He joked.

"Both are ridiculous but this would probably be worse in the category of stupidity but also in the category of injury since he'd probably break his nose too." He replied seeming to be serious then let out a laugh, "Why is almost everyone in the group such idiots?" He chuckled.

"I'm not sure, honestly I think Shun, Kurin, Emily and Crystal might be the only smart ones other than you."

A smile made its way onto Magnus's face.

"Oh, I'm glad to see you don't pretend you're not an idiot,"

Ajit elbowed him.

"But not quite, Kurin barely knows basic math and weren't you talking just yesterday about how much chaos he causes in class?"

"Huh? I didn't know he was bad at math!"

"Yeah, he's the worst at it. He's good enough at other things that people rarely notice he can't even do basic math. Ask him what three times six is and he'll panic."

"I'll have to try that sometime." Ajit nodded as the two took their place in the queue beside Noah, who was all too quick to tease them.

"What took you guys so long?" He asked, faking curiousity then over exageratedly looking down at their joined hands and saying "Ohh I get it!"

While Magnus started arguing with Noah, Ajit looked away at the rest of the park just in time to spot Riot yelling something at Everett, he couldn't hear what, and dump her stick of candyfloss in his hair. He saw Aay double over with laughter as Everett started yelling, Emily was there too but just seemed conflicted between laughing and trying to calm things down.

Apparently the two beside him had noticed the conflict between their friends too as while Everett walked off, likely in the direction of the toilets, a voice beside him made a comment.

"Woah two of our group's gonna be bathroom bound! I should text Paul and ask him to say hi to Everatt for me."

"You could've made that sentence about a thousand times worse sounding for the people in front and behind us in this queue if you made that reference properly. I'm suprised you didn't." Magnus commented.

Noah tilted his head, "What, like call them toilet bound? They're not Hanako, Magnus. Or Amane for that matter."

Ajit turned back towards the other two, "There is a hell of mirrors though, we should go there after this!"

"Oh yeah! Those places are great!"

"..Ajit that says hall. But for the sake of the reference I won't correct you."

"Oops!"

So for the next hour or so the group of three walked around, went on rides, went through the hall (not hell) of mirrors, had a few small arguments (mostly between Magnus and Noah), talked and made references about literally anything.

It was around this point when the three were sitting on a bench wondering where to go next that Noah got a call.

"Why the hell is that your ringtone?" Magnus asked, obviously judging the shortest of the three.

Noah shrugged, blushing slightly, "I dunno, I just like it." Then pressed answer. "Yo?"

Apparently he'd pressed the speaker button as the other two both heard the voice on the other end of the line speak. "Yo. So me and the other two were just thinking we should all find somewhere to meet up for lunch or whatever?"

Ajit and Magnus looked at eachother and blinked, Magnus pulled his phone out of his hoodie pocket and checked the time, sure enough it was around 1 pm. He showed Ajit who's eyes widened at the time. Neither had noticed that the time had gone so fast.

"Ah yeah! I'd almost forgotten about lunch honestly. But uhh now I think of it I am pretty hungry.. Where should we meet?"

"If I knew that I'd have just texted you and said where to meet idiot." Ajit watched as Magnus choked on a badly concealed laugh, Noah didn't seem to notice however, being more concerned with proving he wasn't an idiot.

"Well if you're so smart why don't you know?"

"Because I've been at the park's arcade since our group split.."

"Why?"

"Well I didn't feel like going on the rides by myself and Paul and Felix were talking ages to clean off the vomit. Seriously we were lucky to be the furthest away from him... So I just decided to win some cool looking keyring and then got distracted winning a bunch of other stuff. So when they finally finished cleaning up they just decided to join in. Haven't had a chance to look around much."

"Makes sense. Why'd you decide to ask me though?" Noah asked.

"I figured the one of us who ran away the second we got off the ride got more of a chance to look around than any of us three did."

Noah winced.

Magnus didn't even bother trying to stifle his laughter this time.

"Well- You know... I've been hanging out wih Magnus and Ajit! So I didn't really.." He paused momentarily as Ajit placed the map of the park in his lap and pointed at something on it. A smile spread across his face. "Oh hang on.. I did notice one place we could all meet up at.."

"Where?"

"Oh the park's fish and chip shop. You should already know where it is though."

"Why?"

"The way to it is inside the arcade."

Silence and then the call ended.

Noah burst out laughing, "Ajit you're actually a genius, thank you so much for that!  Oh my god!"

"Haha it's no problem really!" He laughed back, "So do you think she's calling the others or should we?"

"I'll do it." Magnus spoke, staring down at his phone screen. "The amount of notifications from that damn group chat I swear I regret not leaving." He muttered clicking onto his contacts and pressing the call button on Emily's contact.

After a minute of ringing she answered.

"Who is it!" China Riot's voice asked.

"It's my brother." Emily answered, "Hi Magnus, what's going on?"

"Julia's group and our group decided to meet at the park's fish and chip shop for lunch. Figured I should pass the message on. The entrance is inside the arcade, got it?"

"Yep! So we're going there now?"

"Yeah, we are."

"Alright! See you there Magnus!"

"Mhm, see you." The call ended.

Noah handed the map back to Ajit and leaped up, "Let's get going! I can't wait to make fun of Julia, Felix and Paul!"

Magnus raised his eyebrow "Right. And not because you're hungry?"

"Nah the only thing I'm hungry for is drama!" No less than the second after he'd finished his sentence, his stomach growled.

"You were saying?"

"Shut up!"

Stifling a giggle Ajit placed the map into his pocket and stood up, "Let's just go..."

"'Kay, you two gonna hold hands again?" Noah asked, deliberately loudly. "Oohhh or should I run ahead so you guys can talk in private orr..?"

Ajit didn't even try to stop Magnus from slapping Noah around the face.

***

The second the trio had entered the meeting place someone short ran up to them.

"Hey Noah!" Felix greeted, grabbing the now second shortest in the group's arm, "Oh hey you two!" He smiled at Magnus and Ajit. seemingly just noticing they were there then turned his attention back to his teammate.

"Listen up Luca."

Noah's eyes widened, "Oh no you brought out the middle name this is serious.."

"No it's not, I just wanted to frighten you." Felix grinned, tilting his head and winking, "Just wanted to ask if you were planning on starting a food fight? Y'know I always want to film those and join in of course!"

Noah lifted his finger and slowly rested it on his chin in the globally known exaggerated sign of 'thinking'. "I meaann I wasn't planning on it buuut... Of course I'm gonna start a food fight!"

"Yes!" Felix yelled throwing both his hands up in the air in his excitement, although not letting go of Noah's arm so his was also lifted into the air. "Let's go!"

While the shortest two started towards the table, Magnus turned towards Ajit who looked suprised, "What, you really thought there was a sane one in their group? And you thought Felix was that sane one?"

"Well I thought there must be one, right...?"

"No, not in that group."

Shortly after the two had taken their seats they were joined by Everett, Emily, Riot and Aay.

As it turned out the food fight Noah started wasn't the first or only fight during lunch that day. To the suprise of almost everyone, Magnus and Everett argue like little kids. Their argument could only be stopped by the beginning of a war between Noah, Felix and everyone else on the table.

Ajit stopped in his story for a moment to add commentry, "I'm still suprised we weren't kicked out, it was a full on food fight and everything! Magnus wasn't too happy about it at first but that was probably just because Noah used the argument between him and Everett as a distraction to start the fight and he was the first to get hit by a flying chip..." He laughed at the memory.

"Aw man that sounds awesome," Dan sighed, "Wish I coulda been there.."

"Yeah, sorry..."

"Ah! Don't worry about it. So what happened next?"

"Well not a whole lot actually.." Ajit thought, "After lunch the rest of the Glanz four joined us then you know the part where I texted you and most of it was just chaos but not the sort that make a good story y'know?" He attempted to explain, "Oh! Julia, Paul and Felix had this huge bag of things they'd won at the arcade! It was pretty heavy though so it was just getting dragged around by two of them at once the whole afternoon."

Dan laughed and nodded, "Wonder what made it so heavy.. Think they stole something?"

"Maybe! I wouldn't put it past them."

"Ha! Maybe they'll tell us in the group chat?" The red streaked joked.

"More likely they filmed it for their channel!" Ajit giggled causing Dan to do the same.

Once the two stopped laughing Ajit spoke again,

"So I know you told me about some of it over text but how was your after-school music room hangout with Kurin?"

"It was pretty great! Oh man you should've heard Kurin singing earlier, his voice is incredible I swear!"

"Really?"

"Yeah! Oh! I got a voice recording of it, hangon!" Dan reached for his phone to find the recording.

The two kept conversing for hours, when they were done sharing stories about their days, they moved onto talking about random things up until the early hours of the next day.

Funny how the same day can be so different for two people yet both people can have just as great of a day, hm?
