"You're serious?" Alex asked, his voice cracking with a barely suppressed laugh. He felt a sudden urge to start tap dancing. He tapped his foot on the hardwood floor, then began bobbing his head back and forth.

He let out a short, high-pitched giggle. "Well then, let's have a going-away party that's so legendary they'll talk about it for centuries!" He rubbed his hands together, his mind already racing with ideas.

He started pacing the room, excitedly brainstorming, his voice rising with each new idea. He already knew they were going to have the time of their lives.
