KND had been called to principal Sanders office for a very important issue.

Principal: KND, due to your numerous case solving achievement, the president of USA has invited you to spend a week at  his white house in Washington DC, however you'll first finish your exams, understood?

Steven: yes ma'am (they leave)

Imogen:I can't believe we're going to the States! I heard Mr Collins has an adorable niece our age who lives with him, isn't that exciting?

Shawn:I was more excited when I first hacked my mom's computer when I was 9.

Steven: besides, you guys should go study. I doubt the President's niece would wanna hang out with girls with poor results.

Imogen:he's got a point, let's go girls!(drags Samantha and Hyeldie to the library)

Keith:if I knew that tactic, I would've had them doing my homework for a year.

Steven: c'mon, if they beat us we'll never hear the end of it.

Karen:(blushes) he doesn't-

Sebastian: yeah I sneak in her room, to study not rape. Why do you think I'm always late to school?

Samuel: cause you're out cold in a beer parlour?

Sebastian: at least I haven't tasted alcohol, which is more than I can say for you, that's not even legal for 15 year Olds by the way.

Samuel:whatever. And by the way I turn 16 in six months.

Samantha: um,guys? I think we're forgetting something.

Steven: which is?

Samantha: we need to start packing! Our flight's in 3 days and I haven't even gone shopping!

Samantha: I think they're the strangest yet most compatible best friends I've ever seen.

Imogen: yeah, but you and I are perfect!

Keith:nope, its Luke and Nigel.

Samuel: you're all wrong. Its Tamera and Hyeldie.

Samantha: yes!

Nicholas: how about we talk of something more reasonable? Like all the into that could benefit both cities.

Samuel: or all the fascinating structures and ancient architectural works.

Steven:or trade at a convention.

Hyeldie: w-what about it's c-cultures and traditions?

Nicholas: good point!

Air hostess: would you all shut up? It's bad enough I have to attend to all of you, I don't need nine teenagers making my job more unbearable!
