** it’s the fourth of july, and everyone is packed onto a party bus that’s about to head to a boat for the day. music is blasting through the speakers, dennis is filming everything for the stream, and kanel is live while everyone talks over each other. jay and klein are already joking around, kilo and jerm are arguing over the music, erin is trying to keep everyone organized, salweetah is laughing at the chaos, and gus is glued to kanel’s side.

just before the bus pulls away, kanel tells everyone he has one surprise. a few seconds later, rick steps onto the bus. he’s someone kanel has done streams with before, and he’s known for fully committing to crazy prank characters. nobody knows why he’s there this time, and kanel refuses to explain, only grinning and saying,

“just wait… it’ll make today a lot more interesting.”

rick quietly sits in the back of the bus while everyone starts making their own theories. some think it’s another prank, others aren’t so sure, and the livestream chat is already blowing up with guesses as the party bus finally pulls away toward the marina.
