A few minutes later Marcus and Allen returns back home, at the lunch time. Both the brothers went to their respective rooms at first, changes their dress and then joins everyone at the dinning table. Marcus sits next to Carina.

"Hey Carina. How are you?" Allen asked to her. After he sat down on his chair, next to Sara.

"I am fine. What about you?"

"Same here."

"Hey Uncle Marcus. We wanna say something to you." Steve speaks up. He and Daniel were sitting together.

"I know that, you guys want to go on a trip with your friends again." Marcus said.

"How do you know that you!" Steve asked, he was surprised by Marcus's prediction.

"After all, I am your Uncle!" Marcus said.

"We want you to join us!" Daniel said.

"It may be difficult this time for me!"

"Please Uncle!" Daniel requested.

"Come on Uncle! Let's go!" Steve added.

"Do you wanna broke, both of your nephew's heart?" Carina said to Marcus, looking at him.

"Fine! I will go with you all, but have you guys where to?" Marcus replied.

"Actually. We will discuss about it today, at 0330. At Sahel's place." Daniel said.

"Okay then let me know about the destination and when you are leaving!" Marcus replied.

"Hey Aunt Carina. Why don't you join us this time?" Steve added.

"Yeah! That's a good idea." Sara speaks up.

"Actually I can't. My father wants to visit our grandparents these summer, in Georgia." Carina replied.

"That's nice! You should probably." Allen replied.

"For how many days, you are staying there?" Marcus asked.

"We are visiting them after 6 years. So my father had decided to stay for two months." Carina replied.

"No Problem!" Marcus added.

"Cause, we will also be like, in some other part of the USA. For the next two months!" Daniel added.

"Shut up!" Steve said to Daniel.

After the lunch, all of the others went to Sahel's home, at exactly 0330. Sahel was in his room, watching something in his phone.

Daniel and the others had visited Sahel's home at same time. It was a large house, normally like the other millionaire's, they also have decorated their house very beautifully, lighting all around, beautiful garden, chairs to seat their, small pond at the left corner of the garden.

Sahel Arbaz Ahmed, is an Indian boy, both of his parents are from India. His father is a very successful businessman of Florida named, 'GAZIANTEV ARBAZ AHMED'. His family is the only millionaire in the whole Melbene Town. He is very smart and has a good knowledge over G.K.; He has a habit that he can't be even serious in any way and would start laughing during any serious moment and in any rare moment, he would put over a dispute among two people.

Outside the main door of Sahel's house, when Daniel rings the door-bell, Sahel's mother, 'SERENA SAIDA AHMED' opened the door, she saw Daniel, Steve, Nariana, Mike and Florence standing in front of her.

Mike Reganne Isaac is the strongest boy of their class, his father is a former Wrestling Champion named 'SEBASTIAN REGANNE ISAAC' who has now opened his own Departmental Shop in the Market. Mike is very fit and a tall guy, he loves playing Cricket and Baseball. He is even the captain of their School Baseball Team and the Melbene Junior Baseball Team. He is very aggressive, and even sometimes he fights with his teammates.

FLORENCE JANALIA PRICE , is a British-American girl, she is Michael's Cousin. Her parents had died in a plane crash, when she was in 2nd Grade and since then she had been living with Michael's family in Melbene. Florence prettiest girl in their classroom. She has blonde straight hair and black eyes.

Mike is also good looking handsome guy, he has blonde hair and sometimes he wears glasses due to his eyesight problem.

Daniel and Steve are exactly like twins with same body structure even though they are only birthday twins. They both have blonde hair and they are little shorter than Mike and Sahel is shorter than Daniel and Steve.

Sahel completely looks like an Indian, even though he was born in the USA and has been living there for 17 years. His father had moved to the USA to start up his own business about 6 months before Sahel was born. His accent of speaking is also different from that of the others.

"Hello, kids!" Serena greeted them, "Come in!"

She gives way for them to enter inside. She was in her 40s, she wears glasses, and has a cute face.

"Hey Aunt Serena! How's your day going?" Daniel asked after stepping inside their house.

"Good!" Serena said.

"Where is Sahel?" Mike asked.

"He's upstairs in his room, waiting for all of you." Serena replied.

The stairs were in the hallway, a few distance away from the main door. All of the friends went upstairs to Sahel's room. In his room, Sahel was talking to someone on a call.

As soon as they knocked on the door, Sahel replies to the call, "Okay. I gonna talk with you later on!" And then cuts the call, and went up to the door to open it.

"Hey guys! Come inside!" Sahel opens the door to see Daniel and Steve standing in front.

They came inside the room, Daniel and Steve sat down on the sofa, Mike sat down on Sahel's study chair and Nariana and Florence sat down on the sofa in Sahel's room.

Sahel had got many video game set and many comic books and manga volumes in the bookshelf, especially Marvel Comics and Dragon Ball Manga Volumes.

Sahel puts his phone on his study table and sat down on his bed.

Mike and Steve sat down on the bed, next to Sahel. Nariana took a small sitting tool, which was lying next to the bed, and sat on it. Daniel sat down on the ground in front of Steve , Mike and Sahel, Florence had sat down on Sahel's study chair.

"What were you doing?" Mike asked.

"What do you mean by that?" Sahel asked back.

"Oho ho!" Daniel smiled weirdly, looking at Sahel.

"Come on! Now stop it man." Florence laughed.

"By the way, why we are here?" Mike asked.

"Seriously bro!" Steve keeps looking at him.

"We are here to discuss about our Summer Trip." Daniel replied.

"So, where are we going?" Sahel asked.

"What about Canada?" Daniel added.

"Shut up! Shithead!" Steve said.

"Ohio!" Daniel added back.

"If you again open your mouth and mention some non-sense locations! I am sure, you are going to be…" Steve warned him.

"Going to what?" Daniel asked.

"Leave it!" Sahel said.

"Did someone got some idea?" Mike asked.

All of them then turns to Mike and looks at him for a while. Mike was tensed, about the situation.

"What happened?" Mike asked.

"Last time, we went to our Uncle's home!" Steve said.

"So what?" Mike was looking at him, in a serious way.

"What about visiting your Uncle of North Dakota?" Steve asked.

"Yeah! That would be nice." Florence added.

"You mean, Uncle Draco Reganne Isaac of Bismarck?" Mike asked.

"Obviously shit head! Is there any other uncle of yours living in the United States! Huh!?" Sahel added.

"Okay then. It's final we are going to visit my Uncle only?" Mike asked.

"Nah! We will go to other places across the United States also!" Nariana said.

"Like we did earlier!" Daniel added.

"So, Aditya and the others are also joining us or it's only us?" Sahel asked.

"Come on man! We know that you aren't really thinking about Aditya only!" Florence starts teasing him.

"Oho!" Steve also joins her.

"Okay. Okay. Fine!" Sahel states, "It is decided that we will first visit Mike's uncle Draco in Bismarck, and then…!"

"What are you thinking again?" Daniel asked.

"Where are we going from there?" Sahel asked, looking into everyone's eyes.

"Actually, we can decide that after leaving out from Bismarck!" Steve added.

"Yeah! That will be fine!" Mike said.

While they were talking, Sahel's mother came into Sahel's room holding a large tray with six juice glasses and six pastries.

"Hey kids!" Serena added.

"Hey Aunt Serena! Long Time no see!" Daniel exclaimed.

"We just met each other in the hallway!" Steve shouts at him.

"Looks like Daniel is always in a cheer up mood!" Serena gives a smile. And then starts walking out of the room. Before going out she again turns back to Daniel and others and asks, "So, where are you guys going then?"

"We have decided to visit Mike's uncle in North Dakota and then we will visit the places across United States!" Nariana added.

"That's a nice plan! Keep it up!" Serena replies and then left the room, while closing the door from behind.

"Okay then. Let's go to the playground for now!" Mike added.

"Let's go!" Daniel exclaimed, "But after eating the pastry!" He quickly grabs a plate and then starts eating up the pastry, Daniel's one was yellow colored Mango pastry.

After finishing the pastry and the juice, everyone gets up from their places and starts moving out of the room. Suddenly, Sahel notices that Florence has grabbed up the tray and starts walking towards the door.

"What?" Florence asked to Sahel when she saw Sahel looking at her.

"You can keep the tray over that table near to my bed!" Sahel points out to the table, at the right side of the door.

"Really?" Floor asked.

"Yeah! Mom will pick it up later on!" Sahel added.

Florence keeps down the tray on the table and moves out of the room along with Sahel. Rest of the four had already get out of Sahel's house, and were waiting for Sahel and Florence to come out.

"Who the hell you two were waiting for inside?" Mike asked to Sahel.

"Come on, you know about your sister's habit of helping others!" Sahel replied.

"Please don't tell me that she was about to go down to the kitchen with that tray!" Mike added.

"Actually, that's true!" Sahel added.

"So you were about to wash the glasses and plates after taking it down to the kitchen?" Nariana asked.

"Yeah!" Florence smiles.

"It's not a big deal. Let's go to the playground!" Daniel came up to Sahel and gets his right hand over his shoulder and said.

All of them went to the playground near to their High School. It's the main place for the group's meeting or to play, in the evening or morning.

After spending some time in the playground, all of them went for a walk around the Market Area of the town and then went back to their homes at around 0630 in the evening.

After reaching home, Daniel and Steve at first went to the bathroom to wash their faces and hands, and then Steve went to the living room to watch TV while Daniel went to his room, to complete the Novel which he has been reading in the morning.

At exactly 0800 in the night, Allen and Marcus returns back home together. They also went up to the bathroom at first to wash their hands and face. And then joins Daniel, Steve and Sara at the dinning table.

Marcus sat down near Daniel while Allen sat down at Sara's right side.

"Hey Uncle! We have something to inform you." Steve started.

"About the trip?" Marcus asked.

"Yeah! It's finally decided, we are going to North Dakota!" Steve replied.

"And who's there?" Marcus asked.

"Mike's Uncle, Draco Reganne Isaac!" Daniel said.

"And we have decided to travel to other places across United States, like we did previous time!" Steve said.

"Okay then. I will take the RV for maintenance tomorrow morning." Marcus added, "But, when you guys have decided to leave?"

"By 3rd of July!" Daniel added.

"Okay then. Start packing from tomorrow!" Marcus added.

Both Daniel and Steve looks at each other and smiles.

"Now finish your dinner and get to bed!" Sara states.
