"What kind of literary adventure should I embark on next?" Carlos inquires. "Should I follow in your reading footsteps?"

"If that piques your interest, go for it. But always choose books that speak to you," Logan advises.

"I do fancy the world of Harry Potter, although I must admit I prefer the cinematic experience," Carlos muses. "Do you think I'd be a Gryffindor or a Slytherin?"

"It's hard to predict with the sorting hat's whims. Perhaps try the online Hogwarts test. Camille and I both ended up in Ravenclaw," Logan suggests.

"Wow, that's fantastic. Ravenclaw is a haven for clever and unique minds. If only Hogwarts were real, you and Camille would be right at home," Carlos remarks.

"Thank you, Carlos," Logan replies with a smile.

"Wow, look at those clouds! They totally resemble animals, don't you think? I can see a unicorn hanging out with a robot! Can you see them? Look, look, look!" Katie exclaims, her excitement fueled by a sugar high.

"Uh, I think Katie might be experiencing some sugar rush-induced hallucinations," James remarks, a hint of worry in his voice.

"She's just letting her imagination run wild. It's not hallucinating unless she starts spotting a unicorn strolling right up to her. That would be a different story," Logan replies.

"Unicorn?! Where is it?! I want one!" Katie exclaims, her eyes darting around eagerly.

"Oh boy, we really need to get her home," Kendall sighs, shaking his head.

"Absolutely. She's lost it," Lucas chimes in, his tone sharp.

"Totally," Audrey agrees, echoing his sentiment.

"Come on, that's not fair. Stop being so harsh," Andy interjects.

"Yeah!" Steven adds, backing Andy up.

Tyson, feeling a bit annoyed by the teasing, trots over to Katie and sits beside her. She gently strokes his fur, finding comfort in his presence. But as the sugar rush fades, a wave of discomfort washes over her, and tears begin to form as a fierce migraine sets in.

"I'm not feeling so great," she murmurs. "My head feels like it's going to explode. It hurts so much."

"It's okay, Katie. We're heading home now so you can take some medicine and get some rest. That's what you really need," Logan reassures her.

"Apologize to Katie," Steven commands, directing his words at Lucas and Audrey.

Lucas rolls his eyes and scoffs. "No way. We didn't make her cry."

"Yeah, we don't owe her anything," Audrey adds dismissively.

"Do it now," Steven insists, his voice firm and assertive, a surprising shift from his usually shy demeanor.

"We're not saying sorry," Lucas declares.

"Calling Katie crazy isn't kind, Lucas and Audrey. Apologize this instant," Ms. Knight insists.

"Fine. Sorry," Lucas and Audrey mutter begrudgingly.

With that, everyone heads home.

Fast forward to Monday afternoon…

Reluctantly, Audrey and Lucas follow Mr. Mark to Apartment 2J, where he's come to escort Ms. Knight for a night of high-class fun.

"I'm here to whisk Jenny-Pie away to a splendid soirée where we'll be frolicking until the stars twinkle like in Hobbiton," he announces with enthusiasm.

The boys and Katie stare at him, jaws dropped in disbelief. Lucas and Audrey, once again mortified by their dad's antics, bury their faces in their hands.

Kendall, having just set aside his homework, looks utterly baffled. "You're here to take who where for what?" he asks, confusion etched on his face.

"'Jenny-Pie' is your mom, and a soirée is a fancy evening gathering. It's a French term. Galavanting means to go out for fun, and Hobbiton is from the Lord of the Rings," Logan clarifies.

"Got it. But Mr. Mark, why call my mom Jenny-Pie?" Kendall questions, clearly unimpressed with the nickname.

"I thought it was adorable. Don't you have a nickname for your girlfriend?" Mr. Mark replies.

"Not really. I just call her beautiful, and when she's upset, she calls me an idiot," Kendall responds.

"Logan, you must have a nickname for your girlfriend, right? I've heard you call her Cami," Mr. Mark says.

"That's not a personal nickname; it's what all her friends call her," Logan replies while assisting Katie with her math.

"His mom calls him LogieBear," James chimes in.

Logan shoots him a look of disapproval.

"That's the dumbest nickname ever!" Lucas laughs, his tone dripping with insensitivity.

"Your mom's the idiot!" Audrey retorts.

James and Kendall flinch at the harsh words, while Carlos and Katie cover their ears, bracing for Logan's inevitable explosion.

He leaps to his feet so abruptly that his chair clatters to the ground, fists clenched tightly. "What did you just say about my mother?!" Logan bellows, his voice dripping with fury. "Let me tell you something! My mom is the most incredible woman on this planet, second only to Ms. Knight! She's sweet, kind, caring, and endlessly thoughtful. That nickname you threw around may not be flattering, but it holds a special place in my heart because my mom loves me enough to use it, even when I plead with her not to. She does it anyway, and that's a testament to her love for me! If you dare to insult her again, I will unleash a fury far greater than what you see now! Do you get me?!"

Lucas and Audrey stand frozen, their mouths agape in disbelief. Mr. Mark lets out a weary sigh, facepalming in exasperation.

Just then, Ms. Knight rushes out, alarmed by the commotion. "What's happening out here? Logan, was that you yelling at the top of your lungs? Are you alright, sweetheart?" she asks, her concern evident.

"No, Ms. Knight, I am definitely not okay at the moment. Before I say anything further, I really need to step outside for a walk to clear my mind. My brain is in overdrive with anger and stress, and I need to calm down. My stress levels are through the roof right now," Logan exclaims as he rushes out of the apartment.

"I really need someone to help me understand what has him so worked up that he feels the need to take a walk just to find some peace," Ms. Knight remarks.

"Lucas and Audrey just can't keep their mouths shut. They're such a pain in the—" Katie starts, but Kendall interrupts her.

"Please don't finish that thought! Ugh!" Kendall exclaims, quickly pulling his hand away after she playfully licked it.

"If you had let me finish, you would have known I was going to say 'pain in the neck!' Stop jumping to conclusions about me cursing!" Katie retorts, clearly irritated.

"My bad, Katie," Kendall replies sheepishly.

"Here, have a fruity pop," Carlos offers, handing one to her while grabbing one for himself as well.

"Let me share exactly what Lucas and Audrey said that made Logan storm out for some fresh air," James tells Ms. Knight, detailing the entire incident.

"Honestly, I'm shocked by your behavior, Audrey and Lucas. Mark, why didn't you intervene when they were so disrespectful to Logan?" Ms. Knight exclaims.

"I was too taken aback by Logan's reaction to say anything. Lucas and Audrey, you really crossed a line with him," Mr. Mark responds.

"Should we still go out? I think we might need to rethink our plans," Ms. Knight suggests.

"No, we're going ahead with our original plans. Lucas and Audrey, when Logan comes back, you need to apologize to him," Mr. Mark insists.

"He still has to help me with my homework. I hope he's feeling okay and will return soon," Katie adds.

Ms. Knight and Mr. Mark step outside.

Ten minutes later, Logan walks back into the apartment, looking more cheerful.

"We're really sorry for how we treated you," Audrey and Lucas say in a flat tone.

"You could at least try to sound sincere. You both sounded like zombies," Katie remarks.

"Ugh! Whatever, we said we were sorry!" Lucas retorts, rolling his eyes.

"I apologize if my earlier outburst was uncomfortable for you all," Logan says.

"Why are you apologizing? Your anger was completely warranted," Kendall replies.

"Can you help me with my math homework now?" Katie asks eagerly.

"Sure," Logan says, settling down next to her.

An hour later…

"Fetch me a snack," Lucas barks at Katie, his tone dripping with entitlement.

Katie, engrossed in her iPad game, shoots back, "I'm not your servant. Get it yourself. There's a bowl of pretzels right on the counter. You won't scare me into doing your bidding just because you're too lazy." Her confidence radiates, undeterred by his harshness.

"I'm the guest here! You have to do it for me!" Lucas bellows.

"Absolutely not!" Katie retorts sharply.

"How can you ignore my brother like that?" Audrey interjects, her voice rising.

"I'm not the issue! You two are the guests! You should be thankful to be here instead of sulking at home! Like I said, the pretzels are right there on the counter!" Katie asserts, standing her ground.

"Quit bothering Katie! You both are acting like spoiled brats!" James chimes in, his anger palpable.

With a huff, Lucas and Audrey finally relent and shuffle over to grab the pretzels.

Two hours later, Mr. Mark and Ms. Knight walk back into the apartment.

"Hey, kids. Any issues while we were out?" Mr. Mark inquires.

"Plenty," Kendall replies, his tone serious. "Please take your children and go."

"Kendall, what's the matter?" Ms. Knight asks, concern etched on her face.

"Earlier, for half an hour, Lucas and Audrey insisted that Katie bring them a snack, claiming that as guests, she had to obey them. But she stood her ground and refused. There's a bowl of pretzels on the counter that they were too lazy to get themselves. Eventually, after James put an end to their bullying, they finally got their snack and quieted down," Kendall explains.

"Lucas and Audrey, that behavior is completely unacceptable," Ms. Knight states firmly.

"Agreed. We'll discuss this further when we get home," Mr. Mark adds as he leads them out.
