While setting up the camera, Ava, Akira, and Lady Crystal went back to the villa to change into their swimwear. So, when the five boys arrived, they found that the three girls were absent.
After the camera was set up, Pearl, Arria, and Princess Rose all went to change, leaving only the boys. However, before Arria left, she mischievously turned the camera on so whatever the boys talked about while the girls were not present would be recorded. So, all the boys' conversations were recorded without them knowing.
When the girls finished changing, they hurried up and went back to the beach, where the boys were having fun eating and playing jokes with one another.
The boys stopped what they were doing when the girls arrived. They all gazed at the young girls coming in their directions.
James, Ashton, Prince Edmund's eyes were trained on Ava, who was wearing a one-piece bathing suit with a waist wrap covering her lower part. She had on a big wide straw hat on top of her head and dark sunglasses. She looked like a teenage supermodel as she strode on the sand wearing flip-flops.
Akira came in wearing a loose t-shirt and shorts, but one could tell that she was wearing swimwear inside. She also had a wide straw hat on and sunglasses to block the sunlight. Behind them was Lady Crystal who was wearing a cover-up dress on top of her swimwear. She was carrying a straw tote bag in her right hand while holding sunglasses in her left hand as she strolled towards Prince Philip.
The rest of the EXODUS members, Prince Edward and Jeffrey, were just gazing at the girls nonchalantly. Before going back to conversing with one another.
Soon the three remaining girls arrived. They looked like three stooges wearing identical one-piece swimwear in different colors. They all wore their hair in two braided pigtails while also wearing the same kinds of yellow sunglasses with the frame in a heart shape. They looked so adorable that the boys started snickering as they approached.
"What are you guys laughing at? Is this your first time seeing girls oozing cuteness?" Arria bantered while making a pose in front of the EXODUS members.
Everyone started laughing out loud, they liked how Arria was so confident, fun, and lively. Then Pearl and Princess Rose joined in, and all three posed in front of everyone acting cute. Everyone thought they were so cute that they all started pulling out their cellphones and taking picture after picture.
The whole day was eventful for everyone. They enjoyed each other's company without bias or jealousy, even Lady Crystal behaved and did her best to get along with all the girls. It was her promise to Prince Philip so that he would let her come along.
However, deep inside of her, she was still envious of Ava getting all the attention from Prince Edmund, there was nothing she could do but behave, or else, as Prince Philip promised her, she would get sent back as soon as she started acting up.

Arria was so excited after having so much fun all afternoon. It was her dream come true to be hanging around with her idol group. Because of her excitement, she decided to post something online.
Caption: [Having fun with my fav. idol group EXODUS in our Island resort.] She then added one of the pictures taken with her, Pearl, Princess Rose, and the other four members of EXODUS. Ashton was not in the picture. Then hit send.
This was a huge mistake on her part. First, she didn't ask permission from Pearl, Princess Rose, and the four other members of EXODUS. Lucky for her, the post could only be seen by her family members and close friends. So, when Ann saw what she did, she quickly called her daughter and scolded her.
"Young girl! Do you know what you have done? Did you ask their permission to post their pictures in your moments? Did you forget who they are? Take it down right this minute or you will not be attending the concert!" Ann was upset and she was very stern.
"Oh!!! I'm sorry, Mom! I got too excited and forgot about it. Let me delete it right now." She then bid her mother goodbye so she could delete what she posted. A moment later, Pearl came knocking on her door. Arria could only guess that it was Pearl and she was right when she opened the door.
She briskly hugged Pearl, "I'm sorry! I forgot to ask for your permission. If my mother didn't call me to scold me, I would have let other people see you with EXODUS." She apologized almost in tears.
Pearl only laughed out loud before pulling Arria away from their embrace.
"What are you talking about? Is it about the picture you posted in your moments, don't worry about it! Nobody knows who I am and Princess Rose. You didn't mention our names, so why worry about it." She then patted Arria's shoulder.
"You're not mad at me? Oh, thank God! I thought you would be upset. Are you sure it's alright? Your parents will not get mad at you in case they see the picture?" Arria was still worried since Pearl was the daughter of the President of America, she had to be more careful of what she did.
"I said don't worry about it. My parents know I'm here to watch EXODUS's concert, it is just right that I have pictures taken with them." Pearl then went inside Aria's room and sat down on the top of the bed. "So, what are you planning to wear for tonight's concert?" She asked curiously while looking around the room.
Ava went towards her wardrobe and started pulling clothes after clothes showing Pearl all the options she had. Soon the two girls were busy trying to figure out what they were going to wear for the concert.

Meanwhile, Ava was also doing the same thing inside her room. She wanted to look the prettiest since it will be the first time that James had asked her to be his date for the concert…
