Aanya and Dasha had been planning their holiday for months. They had saved up, made a bucket list, and were ready to take on the world...or at least, the quaint little town they had chosen for their getaway.

In the end, they didn't win. In fact, they came in dead last. But they gained something much more valuable: a ridiculous story to tell and a deep appreciation for normal, non-experimental food.

Their patched-up room key (which had broken due to an overly enthusiastic door slam) suddenly worked again, allowing them to leave without incident. As they drove away, they couldn't stop laughing about their bizarre adventure.
