A Whimsical Afternoon in Girona

Chapter 1: A Sunny Afternoon in Plaça de la Ciutat de Figueres November 21, 2024, was a crisp autumn afternoon in Girona, Spain. The sun shone brightly overhead, casting a warm glow over the Plaça de la Ciutat de Figueres, the city's main park. David, Juliette, Arnau, Carla, and Arianne, all 10-11 years old, gathered near the playground, excited to spend their afternoon together. As they chatted and laughed, David pulled out his Guitar Hero controller from his backpack. \Who wants to play a game?\ he asked, grinning mischievously. Juliette, always up for a challenge, stepped forward. \I'll play!\ she exclaimed, and the others cheered her on. Arnau, meanwhile, was busy kicking a soccer ball around the park, trying to perfect his header. Carla and Arianne watched, giggling at his antics, as they sat on a nearby bench. \You're going to get a concussion, Arnau!\ Carla teased, and Arianne chuckled in agreement. As the game of Guitar Hero began, the others joined in, taking turns playing and singing along to their favorite songs. David, proud of his skills, played the opening riffs of \Sweet Child O' Mine.\ Juliette expertly navigated the guitar solo, and the others clapped and cheered. As the afternoon wore on, the group decided to take a break and grab some snacks from the nearby café. As they walked, Arnau tripped on a loose paving stone, and the others burst out laughing. \Clumsy Arnau!\ Juliette teased, and he grinned, sheepishly admitting, \I'm just a little tired from all that soccer!\ As they sat on the café steps, munching on pastries and sipping juice, the friends discussed their plans for the upcoming weekend. \We should have a sleepover on Saturday!\ Carla suggested, and the others enthusiastically agreed. Arianne pulled out her phone to start making a group chat, and the friends began planning their Pijamada adventure.
