Three days have passed since the four siblings have started the school on the same class. This has been four school days a bit exhausted for them because of the six-hour schedule per. day and the homework, which were forced to Romanian and Mathematics subject, while on the other subjects were mandatory.
The four high schoolers, rather than going to their homes on this sunny Friday on a temperature of twenty degrees Celsius with no chance of raining, they decide to go to at the Strand Park, sit on a bench, and enjoy some fresh air.
The moment Robert, Roberta, Roman and Roby have entered the park's gates, they walk about ten minutes on the Park, looking for an empty bench where they can sit together, and discuss. But, they found something far better, the small place on the Strand Park called "Teatrul de Vara" has about five to six rows of empty benches, and today there is nothing planned, which means this is an opportunity for the four siblings.
"Good thing we the guard is on the other side." says Roby to his gang, after they have taken their seats.
"What?" asks Roman a bit concerned. "The security guard would throw us if he would see us here?"
"No." says Roby. "This guard cannot throw you out from this public park. He would just yell at you, then he would go back to his business, ignoring you the rest of the day."
"Most of the people here are scared by him." says Roberta to Roby." Ain't you scared by that brute?"
"Why would I? I know him." says Roby.
"You do?" asks Robert and Roberta at the same time, while Roman decides to enjoy a classic "Luca" sandwich that costs about eight RON's at that time.
"Yes. He was my Physical Educator back in the Elementary School. He was nice and playful in my class, but when his wife divorced him, the man became something else. The playful and cherish he would give to anyone from my school, has deteriorated and became sad and ignorant. He was also strict at some classes, and jumped into drinking."
"How awful." says Robert.
"But, with therapy, as I heard a rumour a few years ago, he became a new man, and he found a job as Park guard or Park employer, or whatever someone at the Park are working."
"Something like in Regular Show?" asks Roman to Roby. "Where the ten minutes of the show displays the adventures of Mordecai and Rigby trying to small errands in the Park?"
"I don't know hat are you saying." says Roby honest. "I didn't watched cartoons since I was twelve years old."
"You still watch cartoons?" asks Roberta to Roman.
"Why not?" asks Roman. "I mean. They are good as a source of entertainment rather than live actions shows or… TV shows."
"TV shows?" asks Roberta. "You think cartoons are better than TV shows?"
"Well…" says Roman. "Some of them."
"Some of them? State a TV show that you consider worse."
"Um… Twilight?"
Robert and Roby could see Roberta, who sits between them, having a violent energy, going all over her body. Roman knows he has done a wrong move on a girl. But can you blame him? Roberta is his first "girl friend" considering the fact they are lost brothers and sister for almost their entire young lives.
"Twilight? No. I meant." tries Roman to explain to Roberta, hoping this can repair the damage he has done to her TV shows tasting. "I meant the new seasons of Twilight. Those sure are worse than um… the new cartoons released on the Cartoon Network TV."
"You Roman." says Roberta. "I do not want to scare you, nor make you depressed. Everyone has their tastes in TV shows. I am not upset. I am a bit upset you tried to put Twilight into an argument."
"I understand." says Roman, who decides to shut up about the topic of television.
"How you guys saw another good show?" asks Roby. "I am interested because I just finished binging the first season of Lost."
"Have you finished the first season?" asks Roberta. "Did you like it?"

"Oh. You've watched it?"
"Sure, I did. I finished the TV show in almost three weeks in August."
"Three weeks?" asks Roby impressed. "It took me almost two weeks to finish the first season."
"Why it took you so long?"
"I had some things to do this summer, such as helping my neighbour in his business."
"Business?" asks Robert.
"I worked for a whole summer at his car wash. A decent pay I might say."
"Good job for you." says Roberta. "You will like the second and third season, after that, it gets weirder and weirder to watch. I am not going to give spoilers, but you will love the season two and three."
"Thanks for not dropping spoilers." says Roby feeling better.
"I would recommend Game of Thrones if you would like it."
"Is it good?" asks Robert to Roberta.
"It is decent."
The four siblings continue to talk about shows, TV shows and movies for a few more minutes, until someone appears on the background.
The four siblings continue to talk about Netflix shows, TV shows and movies they've watched recently or a long time ago for a few more minutes, until someone appears on the scene. And that someone is the Biology Teacher of High School Armand Calinescu, but he seems to not walk alone on this nice day in the Park. The teacher walks alongside with a woman, that looks older than the thirty-four years old teacher.
"Look." says Roberto whispering to his brothers and sister who were still discussing about the difference between animated American shows and animated Japanese shows.
The siblings saw the teacher walking alongside with the woman in the Park, they were about to wave at him, but the man was too caught in the whatever the conversation with that old lady was having, he wasn't even noticing the siblings, who decides to walk away from there and go to the nearest shop to busy some snacks and drinks for him and the old lady.
After the small duo left the said shop, the four siblings can feel some thirsty and hungry for a small snack.
"Want to buy some snacks?" they ask at the same time, creeping them a bit.
The four siblings are going to the small bar from the Park who contains drinks who are at an exaggerated price, but since Robert is the only one banknote of one hundred RON's in his pocket, he decides to do the treat this time. But he also has to be careful with the money because some things have started to get expensive since Winter is approaching the country and the city by the name of Pitesti.
The small bar inside the Strand Park is having at least ten tables, each having four chairs and umbrellas, that possess the logo of Ciucaș beer as sponsorship where the owner of the Bar is getting added fifty percentage of the sales. The owner of the bar is a bald man with a long beard, he is checking his smartphone, but when the brothers and sister have come to the desk, the cashier looked a little confused at this, he thought he sees four times. After a few seconds, the cashier looks at the four teenagers who are looking at the refrigerator with beer and normal drinks.
"Hello! What would you like to buy?" asks the cashier.
"Hello, sir!" responds Robert to the cashier. "We would like to buy four Pepsi bottles and four bags of Lays."
"Um… Are you four?" he does a sign of the hand showing to the other three persons who are looking at the cashier.
"Yes, we are related."
"Oh, good." he says feeling relieved. "Thought I forget my lenses."
The cashier goes to the shelves where are the Lays put, there are over six different types of chips in flavour and the cashier asks.
"What flavour would you like?"
"Paprika." says Roberto.
"Paprika." responds Roberta.
"Um… Barbecue." says Roby.
"Just one?" ask Roman to Roberto, who immediately gave him that angry look to take only one. "Okay. I would like… Mushrooms?"
"Out of mushrooms." says the cashier.
"Fine… Barbecue beef ribs?"
"Alright." says the cashier taking two bags of Lays with Paprika, one with simple barbecue, and one bag with Barbecue beef ribs, which is slightly different in taste that the normal Barbecue. And before he would get the drinks, the brother picked them from the refrigerator, which we're all Pepsi drinks. The cashier calculates the product amounts and tells the guys.
"It is about thirty-six RON's."
Roberto pays the drinks and the chips bags, they all thank the cashier of the store, and they leave the man, wondering and looking at them as they leave.
"D-Didn't I know them from somewhere?"

On the same bench, the group of four siblings are hanging in there like some good friends, eating chips and drinking juices. And Roberta decides to start some small conversation.
"Which type of high schooler are you?"
"Huh?" asks Robert. "Where that came from?"
"I just wanted to start a small conversation, brother."
"Well." says Roman. "I would probably be the overweight nerd who is staying all his day on the computer, and one day, he would probably get a girlfriend like in those romance comedies."
"Continue to dream." says Roby feeling a sad for his quadruplet brother.
"Sh-Shut up!" says Roman to Roby. "And you would be the jerk jock type."
"He got a point." says Roberta.
"Oi. Then you are the pretty girl who thinks she is popular." says Roby.
"I do not think I am popular." says Roberta to Roby. "Also thank you for calling me pretty." she looks at Robert. "Guess you are the big brother type who knows everything."
"Y-You might say that." says Robert feeling a little embarrassed by this. "But it doesn't matter the roles we have, right guys? What does matter is to be ourselves, right?"
The group is looking a little creped at their brother and they say to him at the same time. All three of them.
"Cringe."
"Hey!" says Robert to his brothers and sister.
The group stays for a few more minutes on the park, until Roman gets a phone call from her mother to come back home because it is starting to be late. Roman takes his stuff, waves goodbye to his friends and walks to his home, then Roby decides to also get his stuff and tells Roman.
"Wait!" says Roby. "I am also coming with you."
"Eh. Why?" asks Roman surprised by this.
"Someone I know lives in the same as yours. It would be troubled to go with you?"
"N-N-No. Not at all." says Roman a little scared by the face Roby was making when he said that sentence. For him, it looked like something straight up from a horror movie.
