As Juan and the rest of F3 huddled around Francisco's laptop, their fingers danced across the keys, each keystroke a testament to their determination to uncover Francisco's plan. The rain drummed against the windows, a relentless rhythm that mirrored their growing anxiety for their missing friends.

Amidst the tension, Juan couldn't shake the worry gnawing at his heart, especially for Moon. He couldn't help but marvel at her luck in having someone like Francisco, a man who loved her with unwavering devotion.

With each passing minute, their concern deepened. They knew they had to find out what Francisco was up to, not just for the sake of their friend, but also to understand the larger implications of his actions.

Finally, after what felt like an eternity of typing and clicking, they cracked into Francisco's laptop and discovered his grand scheme: "Embrace Your Dreams," a technology platform aimed at revitalizing his mother's struggling business and turning their fortunes around.

But before they could fully digest their discovery, Fredrick dropped a bombshell: a prank that left Moon reeling. He fabricated a story about Juan being sent abroad, Francisco marrying Maya, and their breakup, all as part of an elaborate joke.

The revelation hit Juan like a ton of bricks, his heart sinking with each word. He couldn't fathom the idea of Moon being torn away from Francisco, the man who brought her so much happiness and stability.

Moon, overwhelmed by the news, collapsed in a mix of shock and disbelief. Her friends rushed to her side, offering words of comfort and reassurance, but the damage was done.

However, as Moon slowly regained her composure, she began to piece together the truth. It wasn't just a cruel joke; it was a carefully orchestrated plan, designed to lead her to this moment.

And as she looked around at her friends, their faces filled with concern and love, she realized that she was exactly where she was meant to be. With tears of joy and relief, Moon embraced Francisco, knowing that their love was stronger than any prank or deception.

In that moment, surrounded by the people who mattered most to her, Moon knew that she was ready to face whatever the future held, secure in the knowledge that she had found her true happiness.

As the sun rose over Francisco's house, Moon and Francisco found themselves greeted by the enticing aroma of breakfast cooking in the kitchen. However, their excitement quickly turned to concern as they realized the source of the smell: Amelie, struggling with a pan that was now spewing smoke.

Rushing to her side, they found Amelie sheepishly admitting her lack of culinary prowess. "I've always been so focused on work that I never had time to learn basic life skills like cooking," she confessed, her embarrassment evident in her flushed cheeks.

Concerned for her well-being, Moon and Francisco exchanged a knowing glance before Francisco spoke up. "You've been working so hard, Mom. Maybe it's time for you to take a break and focus on yourself for a change," he suggested gently.

Amelie's eyes widened in surprise at her son's suggestion, but she soon found herself nodding in agreement. "You're right. Maybe a vacation is just what I need to recharge and learn some new skills," she conceded, a hint of excitement creeping into her voice.

With plans set in motion for Amelie's well-deserved getaway, the rest of the day unfolded in a whirlwind of laughter and joy. F4, Moon, Mira, Jeremy, Sophia, and everyone else gathered together, relishing in the simple pleasure of each other's company.

They spent the day exploring the city, indulging in delicious food, and creating memories that would last a lifetime. From impromptu dance parties to heartfelt conversations, every moment was cherished as they celebrated the bonds of friendship that united them.

As the sun began to set on their unforgettable day, Moon and Francisco found themselves surrounded by the warmth of their friends and the promise of a bright future ahead. And in that moment, they knew that no matter where life took them, they would always have each other's backs.

With Amelie's departure imminent and their hearts full of gratitude, they bid farewell to the day with a newfound sense of peace and contentment, ready to embrace whatever adventures lay ahead.
