The discovery of the double booking filled Daniel with the urge to act. He rubbed his hands together, his face alight. Two parties on the same day? What a wonderful predicament.

He spent the morning creating custom memes about both of his friends. He imagined sharing them with everyone at the parties, spreading laughter and good cheer.

He envisioned himself leading impromptu dance-offs, cracking jokes, and making new friends at both events. He would make it a night to remember.

He grabbed a water gun filled with lemonade and a bag of gummy worms. He was ready to unleash his brand of fun on the world.
