It was holi and the whole house was bustling. The khurana Mansion gave a huge holi party every year without fail as it was Dadi's favourite festival.

But as always Maan was a bit aloof, not wanting any color on him but anyone except the elders and didn't participate in the fun.

"I swear you are an old man" Annie whined, "How can you not join in the fun!"

Vicky rolled his eyes, "Leave him, he is boring personified"

But just then Geet entered the foyer with a big smile on her face, saying loudly, "Happy holi!"

Vicky had a smirk on his face and immediately went forward but Geet put out a hand, "Hold on a second"

A mystified Vicky was too confused to object to her words, especially as she went up to Maan and then with a sweet smile said, "Happy holi buddy" and put pink gulaal on his face.

Annie's eyes widened as she expected Maan to get angry but instead Maan smirked and replied, "Happy Holi Geet", then took a handful of colour from Geet and smeared to all over her face and hair.

Before anyone could blink the two friends were shrieking and running around fighting with colour.
