The ride home was nice and smooth. The three artists were busily and noisily discussing art works and their theory with each other. I never realised how much they had to do for their theory part. I think I heard Shade say what did you get for the final question number 52? I'm surprised of how quickly they manage to get through them all. "Shade you asked the other two what they got for the final question, number 52? How hard are the questions? I'm just curious because you seem to be able to get through them all quite quickly." I asked Shade. "Well question 52 is explain the process in which your materials were made and how the paints were made to get to the bottle before use. And when we ask if they need full detail, they usually mean full detail as in the step by step process. We usually end up writing about 1,000 to 2,000 words for each question. Some of the questions a knowledge based theory tests and the others we can research. So number 52 is a knowledge based theory test question." Shade explains to me. "Seriously? You three have all the same questions?" Chandler asks. "Well not really. When we tell the professors what type of medium and materials we will be using for that particular assignment for the practical. The research questions are usually based around it. Some of knowledge based test questions are based around what you'll be using but about 95% of the knowledge based test questions are the same for all three of us." Miles answered. "That's why you'll often hear the boys or me ask each other about a particular question. And the main reason those two burst into my quarters, when they've finished their research questions and the other five percent of their knowledge based test questions. We work on them together." Luna adds on. "Because team work is a thing and when they figure out that we did some of the questions together they know that we've worked together on them." Shade finishes off. "Extra points!" Luna sarcastically thumbs up. "So I was wondering when you guys say your lecturer. Do you have multiple or just the one?" Robert curiously asks. "Well each student is split up into three groups and each lecturer gets about 5-6 groups of students sometime 12 groups. But each group is given a particular task depending on their skill. Because we were ranked at number one on the skill list, we get to travel around the globe and meet cool people to base our art works off of." Shade explains. "So how many students go to this academy?" Chandler asks. "About 500-600 students. Not many. The only reason for it being so low is because it's a very particular school. Out of at least two to three thousand applicant only the top 60 people get excepted. After you've been to at least three different countries are you then considered as second year students. It's a very hard academy to get in." Miles answers.

While we answer all their questions I notice Luna seemed a little down. She doesn't usually answer anything sarcastically. It was rather unusual. "Hey you okay?" I whispered to her. She nodded her head and forced a smile. "Hey can we pull over and go to the toilet?" I ask hoping to get a yes in response so that I can talk to Luna. "Hey you seem down. What's up?" I ask her as soon as we get out of the car. "I can't seem to focus. I can't think of a beat for this song. And it's making me mad at myself because I can't think of a beat." Luna responds. "How about we play a song or a few? And give them a show?" I suggest. "That sounds like a good way to clear my head." Luna agrees. "Couldn't help but ease drop but can we play handclap?" Miles appeared from nowhere. "Of course we can Miles." Luna smiled at him softly. "Okay let's get out our tapping sticks and lick our first song." I plan out and get to our bags. We all start tapping to start the song "My Type". Miles starts the base beat and we start up on the other main notes. Luna starts singing and she's got the most beautiful singing voice ever. "La la la laaaa..." Luna sings towards the end of the song. As the song ends, a few kids approached us and requested for a song to be played; while they are their ice creams. They requested for "Cake by the Ocean by DNCE." We started to dance along with the beats of the song and Luna then started to sing. "Talk to me baby!" Luna starts the chorus. By the time she had hit the chorus we started to move around a little bit more. By the end of the song we stopped and told them that we would play at the Australian zoo. As soon as we arrived at the zoo we got out of the car and Luna grabbed her guitar.

The three of them got out of the car and Luna quickly grabbed her guitar. They started playing "Geronimo." Luna was smiling and enjoying playing with those two. She starts dancing towards the third chorus part. She hands off her guitar to Shade and does an Ariel. As soon as the lyrics say "fall to my knees" she fell to her knees and Shade handed back her guitar. They all raise ready for chorus and shout out "SAY GERONIMO!" We all decide to join them, dancing and singing. Before we even could unpack she's got no shoes on; so she looks so free and happy. We start to unpack. Luna and I decide to have some time to ourselves.
