Easton pulled out his sword and leaped swiftly in front of Zora, casting vigilant glances at all the passers-by heading their way.
She was so stunning, they absolutely couldn’t let any bad guys take her away.
“Easton, you’re such a dork!” Hallie laughed out loud.
“Wow, Hallie, you and Maya look incredible too! I’ve never seen you with long hair before. I was almost stunned speechless and barely recognized you. And Maya, this outfit fits your gentle scholarly vibe perfectly. You look so elegant and refined.
“Your dresses are literally tailor-made for you. I can already tell the photos are going to turn out breathtaking. Our Havenridge High F5 truly shine together p>
Outgoing and straightforward, Easton spared no effort in praising everyone warmly.
“Alright, enough compliments. We all look this gorgeous, shouldn’t we take photos to mark the moment?” Felix smiled softly and suggested.
“Come on, everyone, group photo first! Let’s capture this wonderful day p>
The group walked out of the shop and found a spare open spot, setting up a camera ahead.
Easton wore a red fitted knight uniform with a sword hanging at his waist. With firm facial features and a bright grin, he was the very image of a spirited youthful lad.
Felix dressed in pale blue attire. Tall and handsome, he let his hair fall loosely over his shoulders. Standing there casually with a gentle smile and a folding fan in hand, he carried an understated noble charm.
Hallie donned a deep red vintage formal gown that perfectly accentuated her slender figure and tall frame. She covered her short hair with an exquisite long hair wig decorated with delicate hair ornaments, holding a flute in her hand, looking graceful and polished.
Passers-by couldn’t help stopping to admire the five strikingly attractive teenagers, whispering compliments nonstop.
Their youthful vitality was truly enviable.
“Smile, everyone p>
Easton set the self-timer, then hurried back to his place quickly.
Bright, carefree smiles of the five were perfectly frozen in the frame.

This precious memory was destined to stay cherished in their hearts forever.
“We’ll get these photos developed later, and everyone gets a copy p>
While pulling Zora and Maya to take more snapshots with her phone, Hallie spoke to the boys.
“Let’s go ride the merry-go-round and Ferris wheel first, then we can head over to watch the shows afterward p>
After snapping plenty of lovely pictures, they got ready to enjoy the rest of the amusement park attractions.
“Let’s hurry up p>
When they reached the merry-go-round area, there were no vacant seats yet, so they had to wait for a few minutes. They took more photos beside the ride while waiting.
Soon they finished riding the Ferris wheel and all other fun projects, then headed straight for the performance venue.
The firework displays and flame juggling performances were held right next to each other on a vast, empty open ground. By the time they arrived, the place was already packed with
spectators.
“This way over here! We have VIP tickets, and we can watch from the upper loft p>
Easton waved and led the others away from the crowded crowd.
“Wow, this view is absolutely amazing p>
They settled down in the best viewing booth on the top floor of the loft, arriving just in time. The performers for the flame juggling show had just stepped onto the built stage.
As the fire juggling show drew to a close, fireworks burst across the sky in breathtaking splendor.
After enjoying the wonderful shows, they prepared to leave when they heard soft, melodious music drifting over from the crowded side street.
The five paused in their tracks, exchanged glances, and walked toward the sound in unison.
From a distance, they spotted a talent show stage lined with various musical instruments, including bows, flutes, harps, violins, saxophones, and lyres.
“I’ll go ask what’s going on here.” Easton tapped a person in front and inquired.

“I got the news! This is a talent competition. The grand prize is an exquisitely crafted boneless lantern, which took skilled artisans an entire year to finish. The organizer is giving it away for free to the competition champion as a trophy p>
Easton squeezed his way back and told the group, pointing at the gorgeous, intricately patterned boneless lantern hanging high above the crowd.
“It’s so beautiful.” Zora’s eyes lit up the moment she laid eyes on the delicate lantern.
“Since we’re already here, it’d be such a waste to leave empty-handed. How about we sign up to compete?” Easton turned to look at his friends.
If Zora loved this lantern, they would definitely win it for her.
“Count me in,” Felix agreed without hesitation.
The rest all nodded in approval as well.
They had received comprehensive family education since childhood. While they were not masters of every musical instrument, each of them was skilled in at least two or three kinds of musical performances.
