Joey and Dan had been best friends since the first grade. They were the kind of friends who finished each other’s sentences, laughed at jokes no one else understood, and always had each other’s backs.

One summer, they decided to enter the town’s annual scavenger hunt—a legendary event with a grand prize of two brand-new bikes. The challenge? Solve riddles that led to hidden clues all over town.

At first, they were unstoppable. Joey’s quick thinking and Dan’s sharp memory helped them breeze through the first few clues. But then, disaster struck.

The next clue was hidden at the top of Miller’s Hill, a steep and rocky climb. Joey insisted on going first. Halfway up, his foot slipped, and he tumbled down, scraping his knee badly.

Dan rushed to his side. "Joey! Are you okay?"

Joey winced but nodded. "I can keep going."

Dan shook his head. "No way. You’re hurt. We’ll find another way."

"But the bikes—"

"Forget the bikes," Dan said firmly. "You’re more important."

Instead of climbing, Dan found a hidden side path. Supporting Joey, they reached the top together and found the clue. They were the last team to finish—but they finished together.

At the awards ceremony, the mayor surprised them with a special prize—two brand-new bikes, not for winning, but for demonstrating true friendship.

Joey and Dan rode home side by side, knowing they had won something even greater than the scavenger hunt.

They had proven that true friendship wasn’t about winning—it was about always being there for each other, no matter what.
