The warm Vegas sun filtered through the windows of the MGM Grand suite, casting a golden glow on the remnants of what had been one wild, chaotic reunion. The group—Samantha Giddings, Mike Munroe, Jessica Riley, Emily Davis, Chris Hartley, Ashley Brown, Matt Taylor, Joshua Washington, Laura Kearney, Max Brinly, Kaitlyn Ka, Nick Furcillo, Emma Mountebank, Ryan Erzahler, Dylan Lenivy, Abigail Blyg, and Jacob Custos—were scattered around the living room, slowly coming to life after the previous night's shenanigans.

As Jessica sat up from the couch, groaning as she rubbed her head, she blinked and looked around, expecting to see more drama. "So... Michael Han isn't lurking around, right? I don't know if I can handle any more reality star-level creepiness."

"No texts. No random appearances. Seems like he's officially out of our hair," Emma said, leaning back into her chair with a sigh of relief.

Jacob sat up, stretching. "Good. I don't think I could handle another round of him calling me a werewolf or a slore."

Ryan chuckled. "I think we all hit our limit last night. I still can't believe we had to get him arrested."

"It's a miracle he didn't show up in the middle of the night, begging for bail money," Dylan joked.

Kaitlyn snorted. "Please, like we'd even give him a penny."

The group shared a relieved laugh, grateful for a morning that seemed blessedly free of Michael Han-related drama. The plan for the day? A peaceful escape to a Thai restaurant and a visit to the Hoover Dam, with absolutely no surprise appearances from deranged reality stars.

At the Thai Restaurant...

The restaurant was a cozy, bustling spot, with fragrant aromas of Thai spices filling the air as the group settled into a large booth. Pad Thai, green curry, and spicy basil chicken were laid out in front of them, a feast that finally gave them some much-needed comfort and downtime.

Jessica, poking at her curry, sighed. "This is nice. No weirdos, no fountain show disasters. Just us. Finally."

"Yeah," Josh added, his fork hovering over a spring roll. "It's been way too long since we've all sat down like this without worrying about... well, you know."

The mood shifted slightly as they all reflected on the past—their shared history and the tragedies they had been through before this bizarre Vegas reunion even began.

"I still think about it sometimes," Sam said quietly, looking down at her plate. "Hannah and Beth. What happened to them... it never really leaves you, does it?"

The group nodded solemnly, remembering the two friends they had lost in that horrible, tragic event on Blackwood Mountain. There had been so much terror, so much chaos, and so many questions left unanswered.

"It's weird," Emily chimed in, her voice softer than usual. "You go through something like that, and it feels like nothing will ever be the same. But here we are, eating Thai food in Vegas, talking like normal people. I don't know whether to be relieved or creeped out."

Matt squeezed her hand, giving her a reassuring smile. "We survived, Em. That's what matters."

"And now," Chris said, lifting his drink, "we just have to keep moving forward. Keep remembering the good times and honoring what we've been through."

They raised their glasses, a silent toast to the past, to survival, and to the memories of Hannah and Beth.

At the Hoover Dam...

The Hoover Dam was as majestic and awe-inspiring as they'd imagined. The massive structure loomed ahead, with the clear blue water stretching out below. The group stood by the railings, taking in the view as a breeze ruffled their hair.

"Now this is what I needed," Kaitlyn said, squinting at the expansive view. "Big, open space. Peace and quiet."

"You said it," Jacob agreed, leaning over the railing. "I've had enough of Vegas drama."

Just as the group was beginning to unwind, taking in the serene surroundings, Emma stiffened. "Oh, no."

Jessica followed Emma's gaze and groaned. "You've got to be kidding me."

Strutting down the walkway like he was filming an episode of Keeping Up with Michael Han was none other than the man himself—Michael Han, his swagger back in full force and his ego still inflated despite his earlier arrest.

"You've got to be joking," Jacob muttered under his breath, his hand already balling into a fist. "This guy's like a bad rash that won't go away."

Michael approached, flashing his signature grin. "What, no warm welcome for Vegas's finest?"

Before anyone could respond, Jacob, Emily, and Kaitlyn stepped forward, looking as if they were ready to physically eject him from the Dam.

Kaitlyn rolled her eyes. "Dude, you were arrested less than 24 hours ago. Shouldn't you be somewhere, like, not here?"

Michael shrugged, clearly unbothered by the stares he was receiving. "That's old news. I'm back. And I figured why not give this whole 'exploring nature' thing a shot?"

Jacob looked as if he might explode, but Mike stepped up, squaring his shoulders. "Listen, Michael, I don't know what kind of game you think you're playing, but we're not interested. We're here to enjoy our day without you pulling your usual reality TV garbage."

Michael smirked, leaning toward Emma, who had been purposely avoiding eye contact. "Come on, you guys can't stay mad at me forever. And Emma, I know deep down you can't resist me."

Emma clenched her fists, turning away from him, disgusted. "Leave me out of this."

But Michael wasn't getting the hint. His attention turned to Emily, who stood nearby, arms crossed and looking equally annoyed. "Fine, fine. If Emma's not interested, maybe Emily will give me a shot. After all, I've always had a thing for girls who can't resist a little danger."

Emily blinked, her eyes narrowing. "I'd rather date a cactus."

But Michael's delusions of grandeur only deepened. "Come on, don't be shy. You know I'm irresistible."

Before Emily could respond, Sam stepped forward, her voice cutting through the tense moment. "Back off, Michael. Seriously. You've crossed enough lines as it is."

The group shifted uncomfortably, but Michael didn't seem to care. His sights were set on causing more drama—and making Jacob's life hell.

The Final Push...

As the group continued exploring the Dam, Michael followed them, hovering like an annoying fly. He threw insults, made sarcastic comments, and seemed determined to provoke Jacob at every turn.

"You know, Jacob," Michael said, his voice dripping with arrogance. "You can play tough all you want, but everyone here knows you're just a joke. A wannabe hero who's too insecure to handle a real man like me."

Jacob's patience finally snapped. He stopped walking, turning to face Michael head-on. "You really want to keep pushing me, Michael? Because I'm not going to warn you again."

Michael laughed, stepping closer. "What are you going to do? Throw me into the—"

Before he could finish, Mike, who had been silent until now, stepped in. With one swift motion, he gave Michael a hard shove.

The next few moments seemed to unfold in slow motion.

Michael's eyes widened as he lost his balance, stumbling backward until his foot slipped off the edge of the walkway. With a final yelp, he tumbled backward off the Hoover Dam and into the water below, arms flailing as he plunged into the water with a splash.

For a second, no one said anything. The only sound was the distant roar of the water below.

Then Jessica, unable to hold it in any longer, burst into laughter. "Oh my god. He just... he actually fell in."

The group erupted into laughter, the tension from the past few days melting away as they watched the once-invincible Michael Han sputter and thrash in the water below.

Kaitlyn wiped a tear from her eye. "I mean, I was going to suggest we just walk away, but this is so much better."

Jacob, finally allowing himself to laugh, grinned at Mike. "I think that's the most satisfying thing I've seen all week."

Mike shrugged, smirking. "Guy had it coming."

Emma, watching Michael flounder in the water, shook her head. "Let's hope he finally takes the hint and leaves us alone."

Later at the Casino...

The group had returned to the casino after their Hoover Dam adventure, still riding the high from watching Michael Han literally take a plunge. Josh, back at the dice table, shook his head in disbelief.

"I can't believe you actually pushed him," Josh said, laughing. "He's probably going to claim you tried to kill him."

Mike shrugged. "I pushed him into the water, not off a cliff. He'll survive."

"Maybe this'll finally scare him off," Sam said, sipping her drink. "I mean, how many times can a guy get humiliated before he gives up?"

"Let's hope it's three times," Jacob muttered, shaking his head. "I'm tired of him making my life hell."

As they continued playing at the dice table, enjoying their newfound peace, Jessica looked around the casino and grinned. "You know, after everything that's happened, I think we're officially free of Michael Han."

"Let's not jinx it," Dylan said with a laugh. "But yeah, I think we're in the clear."

Just then, a security guard walked over, looking mildly concerned. "Excuse me, did one of you happen to push a man into the water at the Hoover Dam earlier today?"

The group exchanged guilty glances before Mike raised his hand. "That'd be me."

The guard sighed. "Well, the good news is that he's fine. He's just... been arrested for trespassing again."

The group burst into laughter.

"Of course he was," Josh said, shaking his head. "That guy can't catch a break."

As the security guard walked away, the group finally allowed themselves to relax, knowing that Michael Han—at least for now—was well and truly out of their lives.

And as they laughed and toasted to their victory, they knew one thing for sure: this reunion was one for the books, complete with all the twists, turns, and unexpected moments that made it the wildest, most unforgettable trip of their lives.

And if Michael Han ever dared to cross their path again?

Well, there was always another dam to push him off.
