Debate

One sunny afternoon, the monastery was unusually quiet as everyone gathered around the TV. Word had spread quickly—Mia was going to be on the news. The team was excited, curious to see what Mia would say. Jay, Cole, Lloyd, Kai, and the others crowded into the common area, all eyes on the screen.

The broadcast began, and there was Mia, sitting confidently in front of the camera with a slight smirk. "In case you're just tuning in, this is 'Rules for Life.' Number one," she announced with a serious expression, "You can only sleep once a week."

The room went silent for a split second, and then chaos erupted.

Jay's eyes widened in sheer panic. "What?!" he stammered, his breathing becoming erratic. "Only once a week? That’s insane!" His voice rose in pitch as he began to hyperventilate, clutching his chest like he was about to faint. "I need my eight hours every night, Mia! Eight hours!"

Cole, on the other hand, had an entirely different reaction. His face contorted in disbelief before he bolted up from his seat. "AAAAAAHHHH!" he screamed, running around the room in circles. "No sleep? We’re all going to die! This is the end!"

Lloyd and Kai watched in stunned silence, trying to process what was happening. Lloyd exchanged a bewildered look with Kai, who was struggling to suppress a grin. "Is she serious?" Lloyd whispered, half-concerned, half-amused.

Kai shrugged, clearly amused by the chaos Mia had unintentionally unleashed. "You know Mia, she probably just wanted to see how we'd react."

As Jay continued to hyperventilate and Cole ran wild, Rose and Pixel stood to the side, covering their mouths to stifle their laughter. Rose nudged Pixel, who was trying and failing to keep a straight face. "You think Mia planned this?"

Pixel nodded, still grinning. "I wouldn't put it past her."

Meanwhile, Mia, completely oblivious to the uproar she'd caused back at the monastery, continued speaking calmly on the TV. "And remember, a little bit of chaos can be good for the soul. Keeps things interesting!"

Jay, now pacing frantically, shot a horrified look at the screen. "Interesting? Interesting? This is a nightmare!"

Cole, still running in circles, finally collapsed onto the couch, out of breath but still muttering under his breath, "No sleep…no sleep…"

Lloyd finally managed to regain his composure and stepped forward, clapping a hand on Jay's shoulder. "Relax, Jay. I’m sure Mia didn’t mean it literally. Right, Kai?"

Kai nodded, finally letting out a chuckle. "Of course not. She’s just having fun with it."

Jay stopped pacing, his face still pale but his breathing starting to steady. "So…we’re not actually only sleeping once a week?"

"No, Jay," Lloyd reassured him with a smile. "You can sleep as much as you want."

Jay let out a huge sigh of relief, slumping into the nearest chair. "Thank goodness. I thought I was going to have to start drinking a ton of coffee just to survive."

As the room finally calmed down, the news segment came to an end. Mia’s smirking face disappeared from the screen, leaving the team in a state of mixed relief and lingering amusement.

Kai walked over to the remote and turned off the TV, still chuckling to himself. "Well, that was definitely something. I think Mia just wanted to see how we'd react."

Cole, still catching his breath, shot a look of mock betrayal at the now-blank screen. "Mia is a menace," he muttered, though the slight grin on his face betrayed his real feelings.

Lloyd shook his head, grinning. "That's Mia for you. Always keeping us on our toes."

Jay, finally fully recovered from his brief panic attack, managed a weak smile. "Next time, someone warn me if she’s going to drop another 'rule for life,' okay?"
