The three of them were at the dining table, having their dinner and waiting for Rajeev to come join them. But they stopped dead in their tracks.

"Aaa!!!!" A scream echoed through the house, pausing their train of thoughts. The three looked at each other, gulping their fear. It was too late now, was it?

But what's the harm in trying? They got up from their seats, ready to take quick strides and run for their lives when another scream resonated in the house.

"NO!" Navya said and the three of them turned around only to stop dead in their tracks. There he stood, near the stairs. His arms were crossed over his chest, and drops of sweat trickled down his forehead. This was it.

Goodbye world, the three of them thought. Rajeev gave them his deadly glare and started chasing them.

"Aaa!!!" This time, it was NavShadNi who screamed, and they took off, with Rajeev chasing them. They looked like 'Tom and Jerry'.

After almost 30 minutes of running around, they crashed on the sofa, with the over enthusiastic Rajeev hitting them with the cushions. They were all laughing and hitting each other with the cushions. Feathers were flying all around them. They hadn't been this happy in a long time. And soon Navya, Harshad and Rajeev stopped laughing, to hear a melodic laughter, that belonged to their doll. She was happy and cheerful, after ages. And seeing her like this brought a satisfactory smile on their faces. And they silently sent their prayers and wishes to God to always keep her happy.

After a while, Nandini saw the three of them looking at her, and her laughter fit died down. She raised eyebrows once as if asking why they were looking at her. They shook their head, the smile not leaving their face. After a while, Rajeev asked,

"Who in the hell got that idea?" He asked. NavShadNi shared knowing looks before Harshad replied,

"Doesn't matter," He paused to glance at Navya and Nandini before replying, "As our Mission 'Scare Rajeev - 128' has been successfully accomplished."

Rajeev shook his head, " But on a serious note, don't do this. You know very well how scared I'm of," He paused, "Of Lizards." He said with disgust. "But still, you play a prank and put the fake lizards in my wardrobe and bed."

The three of them looked at each other and back at Rajeev, holding their ears and saying, "Sorry!" He couldn't stay angry with for long, can he? Soon he gave and smiled, and they had a group hug.

Laying on her bed, Nandini stared at the ceiling, which was glowing with the glow-in-the-dark stickers of the stars. For the first time in a long time, she felt... happy. And satisfied. Closing her eyes and joining her hands for a quick prayer, she fell into the world of her dreams, the only place where she was truly happy nowadays, where she could forget about everything that's ever happened in her life and where she can live the life she wants...

Chapter 3

A week later

A car came to a halt in the parking lot of SPACE Academy. Five people got out of it one by one. They were none other than Fab 5. They stood side by side, looking at the building in front of them. A week ago when they got suspended, they were angry. But the anger had dissipated in the air during the week's course. They had come to realise that this small vacation was much, much needed. It did not just give them a break from their lives, but also managed to bring them closer to each other. And that's what matters, right?

After sharing glances, they stepped into the college. Much to their surprise, no one seemed to be scared of them. It looked like the word about last week's events got around really quick.

"Attention everybody," They heard the announcement in the speaker.

"Today is the last day for the registrations for the Inter collegiate music competition Dhun', which as you all know, will be held exactly after a month. So students, or the bands who are interested, please do collect you forms and submit them to the President or the Vice President. I repeat, today is the last day. Submissions will not be considered tomorrow onwards. Thank you."

Fab 5 just stood there, like statues. So many questions were going in their head. Inter collegiate competition? Dhun? And, most importantly, President and Vice President? They looked at each other and communicated through their eyes. What the hell is going on?

Just then they heard another announcement, "Fab 5 are to be present in the Dean's cabin. I repeat, Fab 5 are to present in the Dean's cabin immediately."

Still with the confusion lingering, they made their way to the Dean's cabin. Once in front of the door, Alya knocked thrice and asked,

"May we come in?"

"Come in," Came the response of a deep voice, which they had started to loathe since last week. Entering the cabin, the five of them came eye to eye with none other than Nandini and Harshad. What are they doing here? They thought.

Rajeev stood near the glass windows with a mug in his hand, sipping away his coffee and looking out. Also, Dean and Nyonika were present in the room.

"Morning Fab 5," Rajeev greeted. They wanted to stay quiet, but being the sensible one' Alya greeted him back from their side. He nodded, and turned to look at them. He continued,

"I'm sure you would have missed on a lot of things during your so-called Hiatus." He said. No no, how can we not miss even a single thing when we did not attend the college? They thought sarcastically.

"Anyways, I'm sure ya'll must have heard the announcement. And today's the last day for your submissions." He walked to the chair behind the dean's desk and took a seat, looking at the laptop screen and typing off.

"So make sure to take the forms from princess or Harshad and fill it and hand it over to them. Without fail." He added.

Wh-What?!?

What does he mean by Nandini and Harshad? The confused look on their faces might have given them away, because Rajeev said,

"Another thing you might not have heard of, princess and Harshad have been elected as the President and Vice President respectively?"

Wh-What?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

Manik finally got his senses back. Rage was over-fuelling him.

"H-How can you keep the elections without us being present? This is not fair," He looked at his mother, she quickly averted her gaze.

Really mom? Great! He thought and as he couldn't contain his anger he stormed out of the room. He heard the distinctive sound of his friends calling for him, but he decided to ignore them and started towards their private music room. Because even he knew: that only Music can calm him down.

The room was filled with sharp ups and downs of the electric guitar notes. The unusual and imperfect notes made his inner self satisfied. Manik was well aware of his friends standing outside the room worrying about him. He did not want them to worry about him. And he remembered the one-time 2 months ago when he voiced his thoughts to them about them worrying a lot about him. And he vowed that day to never, ever repeat that same mistake. Firstly, they had given him a mouthful, and then locked him in his own room. Next, they stayed in his room and watched all kinds of Disney movies just to irritate him. And last, but never the least, they made him wear PINK, like from his shoes to his pants to his shirt and also his goggles, everything was pink.

He smiled, thinking about those 7 days of his life when he had seen enough of pink, and now till rest of his life he was sure he would hate Pink colour with most passion. He heaved a heavy sigh. The music, and good memories always managed to calm him down.

Not hearing any more noise from inside the room, the other four made their way inside the room. Manik's back was facing them. They were really worried for him. Manik couldn't take any stress, at all. Whatever happened back in this year had managed to shake them to the core. They couldn't afford for anything else to happen.

"Manik," Dhruv started but stopped when Manik turned to look at them. Manik said,

"Guys," He rubbed his hands, joined them and then spoke,

"I know if I tell you to not worry about me you'll torture me to no limits. But please, I'm fine. Just, relax." He said in a reassuring tone.

They sighed, and ran to him for a group hug. They stayed in that position for some minutes, cherishing the moment. After some time, Cabir broke the hug and turned to Manik,

"Buddy, I know you wanted to be the President. And I know how much it means to you. You, you know what? This is all their fault. It all started the day they entered our lives. And with that Nandini's addition, they are making our lives hell. We should do something. Seriously."

Manik, for once ignored the tingles he felt on his chest hearing her name. He was angry, and it was time for them to pay back for the mess they've created in the lives of Fab 5. He wore his signature smirk and straightened his back, confidence pouring out of him.

"He right." He said and looked at them, "It's time for us to show them who we are. And we will make them realise what a big mistake it was to mess with us."

"Let's do it guys!" Mukti said, and all shared evil looks

It's show time...
