The kids were playing happily when Rhea entered the room. They were surprised to find her there. She usually avoided them as much as possible. They wonder what she was up to now.
Rhea: What's going on?
Aryan: We were learning new words.
Rhea: Which word did you learn?
Shahana: Girlfriend.
Rhea (surprised): What? Who taught you this?
Shahana (innocently): Ranbir
Aryan: And he and Prachi are arguing over what does it mean.
Prachi: It's simple. A girl who is his friend is a girlfriend.
Ranbir: That's not exactly what I meant. Haven't you seen the movies? They always hold hands, give hugs and ki......
Rhea: Aah
Rhea hurried to intervene her now too young sisters, brother and friend from discussing about kissing and relationships.
Prachi: What happened?
Rhea: I just forgot to tell why I came here. Would you like to go to the amusement park with me?
She was successful in diverting their attention. The kids got excited at the mention of the amusement park, but they were suspicious of Rhea too.
Ranbir: Why are you acting nice to us?
Aryan: What if you leave us there and come back home?
Rhea: I regret my earlier behavior and so want to compensate for it. I can't leave you there as your parents will search for you and they will know I took you, so I might land up in prison.
Hearing her reasoning, they agreed to go with her.
The elders warned Rhea repeatedly to take good care of them.

It wasn't much difficult for Rhea to manage the kids. They formed a beeline with Rhea in the middle, holding hands of Aryan and Shahana with Ranbir and Prachi at the end.
Rhea: What do you want to do first?
Ranbir: Roller coaster
Aryan: Bumper car
Prachi: Haunted house
Shahana: Carousel
Rhea: Let's enjoy all these one by one, starting alphabetically with your names.
Aryan: This means it's bumper car first.
They proceeded towards the bumper cars.
As it was an amusement park mainly for children, Rhea stood outside and watched them drive the cars and bump against each other.
Aryan being the huge lover of cars was enjoying the most bumping into others.
But, what attracted her was Prachi's protective nature. Shahana being the smallest was prone to getting bumped by the other children, but Prachi was continuously protecting her while enjoying herself too in the process.
This made Rhea's resolve to change herself to earn the sister's love stronger.
The next few hours was filled with immense fun. Be it be the hair rising roller coaster where the adventurous Ranbir screamed his lungs out in excitement or the bone chilling haunted house for the daring Prachi or the fun filled carousel for the cutest Shahana.
The rides resulted in four extremely hungry children. Rhea treated them to all those food that any adult would have restricted to have for lunch. It was to remain a secret between them.
After enjoying a few more rides, they decided to end the day with the Ferris wheel. So, they were high up, enjoying the view of the city with the setting sun as the background, enjoying their cotton candies.
It was indeed a day to be cherished.
