For their Easter vacation, the foursome, the Beatles, and Bridget decided to visit Southampton. As they packed their bags, Bridget saw the Geordie twins sitting on the सोफ़ा, सोफे looking quite sad. She asked them, "Are आप all right, mates? What seems to be the problem?" With a heavy sigh, Scruffy replied, "Well, Bridget, today marks ten years since our parents were killed in a car accident. They got hit द्वारा a drunk driver on the way back to our house." Bridget remarked, "Oh, dear! That's horrible!" Buzzy replied as a tear streamed down his eye, "It is, indeed. We still miss them terribly." He then fell into Scruffy's arms and broke down sobbing. Bridget could only give them both a comforting hug. She said, "I'm so sorry for your loss." Ringo added, "We're sorry, too." Scruffy replied, "Thank you, my friends. Don't worry, I'm sure we're going to be fine." Rosie said, "I know आप will be. Anyways, this vacation will help cheer आप both up." Nicholas added, "That's right, love. We're going to have another lovely time together." Paul interjected, "I completely agree. Since we'll be bringing our instruments, we can also have a mini संगीत कार्यक्रम द्वारा the seaside!" Rosie replied, "Capital idea there, Paul! We'd प्यार that!" Paul smiled and winked in response. Buzzy wiped his tears and remarked, "Oh, that's wonderful! Thanks for all the encouraging words, mates. My brother and I really appreciate them." Scruffy nodded in agreement. Nicholas replied, "You're welcome. That's what फ्रेंड्स are for." "Definitely!" Chirped Bridget. After everyone finished packing, they went out to eat lunch and have a walk around the neighborhood. Once they returned to the dorm, they got ready to sleep so they will be fully rested for tomorrow morning's journey.

Although the rumor had cooled down some, there were still some people who believed the rumor. Totally dispelling the rumor wasn't going to be easy. Madison and Connor continued to shield Alexandria from bullies. One day, Connor was unable to come to school, for he was battling a nasty cold. Madison was able to shield Alexandria from bullies, but it wasn't as easy without having Connor as a backup. Madison said, "It was actually terrifying to stand up to those bullies alone." Alexandria said, "I'm sure it was." Madison said, "I haven't had to do that in so long. I miss Connor." Alexandria said, "I miss him, too. I can't wait until he's better." A few days after the incident, Connor said, "I'm sorry I couldn't be there for आप two." Madison said, "It's okay, Connor. आप needed to rest and get well." Alexandria said, "That's right. I do hope you're feeling better now." He said, "I am." Pretty soon, Connor was back in school, helping Madison shield Alexandria from bullies.
