Gunter: (With his translator switched to the "Jake the Dog" option) Then you just move the bow over one of the strings, and a very satisfying sound should be heard. (Andrew plays the first verse of Imagine Dragons's Radioactive) That was good!

Jae: How do you do that?! I can't even play one note! (Plays on the Erhu on her lap, and a terrible note comes out)

Andrew (That's Piplup's new nickname. Cute? Yes. Hotel? Trivago.) and Gunter: (Both of them cover their ears) Ugh!

Gunter: We have got to work on that.

Riz: (Comes out of the guest room while playing her iPad)(For the lines Riz would say throughout the book, expect a lot of vulgarities) What the **** guys? I can hear you from the third floor!

Gunter: Sorry, Riz!

Riz: Don't worry. I know how that feels, Jae. You just try to learn how to play an instrument, then it ends horribly. Wait... Okay, I have a dare for the Thea Sisters!

Nicky: Which is?

Riz: I dare you to do the Best Friend Challenge!

Colette: The what?

Paulina: I've heard of it. It's a challenge where you have to answer questions about your best friends. If you answer the question incorrectly, well, you'll have to find out for yourself what happens next. (Telepathically to Jae) Get some random stuff from the kitchen.

Jae: On it! (Runs to the kitchen and returns with a bag of flour, four bowls, a handful of salted sardines, two dozens of eggs, a small box of baking soda, and whipped cream) Here we go! Pick your teams! (Nicky and Paulina high-five each other, while Pam and Colette link hands) Okay! Let's do this face-off style! (Nicky and Paulina sit down facing each other, while Pam and Colette do the same) Okay, let's start with Paulina's side! First question: What is your friend's favorite color?

Paulina: Green.

Pam: Pink, duh.

Jae: Okay, favorite food.

Paulina: A brie and green apple sandwich.

Pam: Uh... baguettes?

Jae: (Experiences a ton of nearly uncontrollable Hamilton fangirl) LAFAYETTE!!!

Colette: Seems fair, since it's a bit easy to forget, considering how many foods I've said that I liked. It's actually (Pours a handful of flour on Pam's head) the blueberry muffins from that one bakery in Whale Island.

Pam: Oh. So that's what the kitchen stuff was for.....

Jae: Okay, favorite song category?

Paulina: Country.

Pam: Waltz music.

Jae: Favorite ice cream flavor?

Paulina: Uhh... avocado?

Nicky: (Slightly startled) Good guess. You actually got it right!

Pam: Err.... strawberry?

Colette: Nope, it's (Drops some whipped cream on Pam's head) vanilla.

Jae: Favorite hobby?

Paulina: Rock climbing and playing the guitar.

Pam: Touching up your looks.

Colette: Obviously.
