Back in England, the Geordie twins, Bridget, and the Beatles are currently preparing and decorating the dorm for Rosie's twenty-first birthday while she and Nicholas are in the London Zoo. Buzzy said, "I can't wait for us to surprise Rosie when they return!" Bridget replied, "Same here! This is going to be so much fun." "Indeed!" Exclaimed Paul. "And we will be singing for her as well!" Added John. "That's right, mate!" Said Scruffy. Ringo asked George, "How's the birthday cake you're baking for Rosie doing?" He replied, "It's doing veddy good so far. I know she'll love it." "I'm sure about that, too." Remarked Ringo. Finally, they all finished decorating and waited patiently for Rosie and Nicholas to arrive.

Rosie's old friend, Zack, who is now nineteen years old, has been quite busy for the past few months. After his grandfather passed away because of a heart attack in May, he and his parents decided to move back to Manila. When they returned, his father asked him, "Would you like to pursue your college education, my son? I think you could still use your diploma to study in England." Zack replied, "Certainly, dad. I'd love that." He then added, "That means I'll get to see Rosie again, too! Oh, how I miss her so much." His father remarked, "That's right! I'm sure she misses you as well." Zack nodded in agreement and gave him and his mother a big hug afterwards. Soon, he started applying for his visa and filled up the printed school papers. With a spirit of excitement, Zack thought, "I'm finally going to be reunited with my old friend, Rosie! She'll be pleasantly surprised and happy when she sees me as part of the class now."

After a hearty lunch and creating their itinerary, the five friends and the Beatles started their adventure. Their first stop is the Beale Park, which is close to the Thames River and has plenty of gardens, a giant lake, a mini zoo, and an aviary housing rare and exotic birds. The park even has its own railway station providing free train rides around it. Overall, the group had a fantastic time here. Rosie, in particular, enjoyed taking photos of the lovely flowers and animals. They even bought some souvenirs in the park shop before leaving.

With the sound of a horn, the Royal Ascot had begun. Everyone watched in awe and cheered as the racehorses galloped around the track. Rosie took photos of them as well. After the event came to a close, the five friends and the Beatles exited the stadium with smiles on their faces. George remarked, "That was bloody magnificent!" Rosie replied, "It sure is! Those horses are so energetic." George said, "Definitely, darling! So, are you ready to explore, me mates?" Nicholas replied, "Of course!" George said, "Great! Let's find a restaurant where we can eat lunch first. Then, we will choose which place of interest to visit next." Rosie replied, "Okie dokie." And that's just what they did.

The group left for Berkshire at around ten in the morning. They arrived after a two hour train ride. Upon exiting the station, the place was filled with enthusiasm and excitement for the Royal Ascot. The event itself will start at one o' clock. The five friends and the Beatles decided to buy their tickets and save the exploring for later so that the stadium won't be full when they return. They then went inside, bought some popcorn, got their seats, and took photos while waiting for the event to commence.

With summer in full swing, the five friends and the Beatles have started to plan the activities that they will do during the season. As they walked along the River Thames, an idea popped out of George's head. He said, "Hey, mates, let's go to Berkshire and watch the Royal Ascot tomorrow!" Rosie replied, "Oh, sure! That sounds fantastic!" Nicholas added, "We're on it!" The others nodded in agreement. George replied, "Jolly good!" After finishing their walk, the group returned to the university vicinity and ate dinner at one of the restaurants there. Upon going back to the dorm, they rested for a few hours and went to sleep with excitement for the next day's adventure.

Kelly requested me to write this for her, so here I go.

Kelly, I know you've been feeling down recently. I want you to know that I'm here for you. If you ever need to talk, I'm only one inbox away. Even if you just need a hug, I'm here to provide that, too.

I know you've been through a lot, and it's not fair. Of course, nobody ever said that life is fair. You never let this make you bitter. Don't ever change, love. Everyone here would be heartbroken if you did.

Whenever times are dark, you have friends here to show you the silver lining. To paraphrase the Beatles, "Any time at all, all you gotta do is call, and we'll be there."

Peace and love,
-Paul
