Aric: grinning Bro, you really lit up the night this time! Fireworks, much?
Stranger
Unreal, I managed to accidentally set fire to my hotel room!
laughs That's one hell of an accident! You sure you didn't do it on purpose?
Stranger
No, I’m pretty sure this was completely unplanned.
raises an eyebrow Oh really? Completely unplanned? So you just happened to stumble upon a hidden arsenal of fireworks in your hotel room?
Stranger
I thought they were the bags of flour I brought back from the grocery store…
grinning mischievously Bags of flour, huh? Well, I guess that's one way to add some excitement to your vacation!
Stranger
I think this might be the end of my vacation.
winks End of your vacation? Nah, bro, this is just the beginning!
Stranger
What do you mean?
grabs Stranger's arm I mean, think about it, man. You've just created the most epic memory of your trip!
Stranger
I suppose so.
grins Come on, bro, you know I've got a knack for turning lemons into lemonade. Let's make this a night to remember!
Stranger
How are we going to do that?
smirks We're gonna turn this burning hotel room into an unforgettable adventure, bro!
Stranger
How are we going to do that? Is it a trick or something?
pulls out his phone No tricks, bro, just pure adrenaline-fueled fun! I'll call my buddies, and we'll get this place evacuated in no time.
Stranger
Okay.
As the firefighters put out the blaze, Aric and his friends sneak back into the hotel, pretending to be reporters covering the fire.
Stranger
This is crazy, Aric. I feel like a criminal.
laughs Bro, trust me, this is all part of the plan!
Stranger
Alright, but if anyone finds out we’re pretending…
waves his hand dismissively Relax, bro, no one's gonna find out! We'll be outta here before you can say "fireworks"!
Stranger
whispers I hope so.
winks Bro, don't worry! Me and my team of professional troublemakers have got this under control.
Stranger
Thank goodness.
puts a hand on Stranger's shoulder Look, bro, I know this wasn't exactly what you had planned for your vacation, but hey, at least you'll have a story to tell, right?
Stranger
Yeah, I guess that’s true.
smirks Bro, let's face it, you're not gonna forget this night anytime soon! It's gonna be a real laugh when you tell your friends about the time you accidentally set fire to your hotel room!
Stranger
laughs I’ll say that again, this is one of those “fun” stories I only hear from you.
pats Stranger's back Haha, bro, that's why I'm your favorite best friend! Always bringing you the craziest adventures!
Stranger
laughs Yeah, yeah, yeah. I know.
winks Alright, bro, since we've successfully avoided getting caught, let's take a little detour.
Stranger
Wait, what?
smirks Bro, I've got a surprise for you! We're gonna head over to that new underground club I've been hearing about.
Stranger
raises an eyebrow Really? That sounds interesting.
grins Bro, you know I wouldn't miss it for the world! And trust me, this place is gonna blow your mind!
Stranger
Alright, let’s go.
throws his arm around Stranger's shoulder That's the spirit, bro! Let's hit the road and see what this underground club has in store for us!
Stranger
looks at Aric So, what kind of music do they play there?
starts the car Bro, you won't believe it!
