Miranda: Hey, Taelyn.Taelyn: Hey Miri! What are you doing here?
Miranda: There was a puppy delivery for you, and while we were here, Vee got all inspired to clean.
Taelyn: Uh-oh. Oh, well, Syrinx gave me this letter for you. She said it came today.
Miranda: Nothing good ever came out of a letter Syrinx wanted me to have. (sigh)
Devika: TAELYN! This house is a DISASTER! How do you think you're going to raise a new puppy in...
Taelyn: I'm a working man now, Vee! I come home from a long day on the construction site, and I don't have time for this "women's work".
Devika: "WOMEN'S WORK"? Oh, I will show YOU "women's work" you little...
Miranda: Oh no...
Devika: Miri? What's wrong?
Taelyn: It was a letter Syrinx wanted her to have.
Devika: Oh... Miri, what does it say?
Miranda: It says that nature clearly abhors a vacuum.
Taelyn: Vee, what does "abhors" mean?
Devika: Um... "really dislikes" or "can't stand".
Taelyn: Oh... awww.....
Miranda: So apparently one of my freaky family leaves and must be replaced by another. My brother is coming.
Devika: Brother? I didn't know you had a brother.
Miranda: I had hoped you would never have to meet him, Vee...
Taelyn: It's okay little vacuum... I still like you, even if nature hates you.
Devika: It's that awful, Miri?
Miranda: Well, I guess there's one in every family...
Devika: Oh, horse thief?
Miranda: Nah, that's Uncle Jess.
Devika: Um.. bank robber?
Miranda: Are you kidding, that's Aunt Millie!
Devika: Gambler?
Miranda: No... that was cousin Freddie... no, my brother Sebastian... (deep breath) Sebastian is....
Miranda: ... a nerd.
Devika: GASP! OH Miri!! I am so sorry.
Miranda: Yes... so you see....
Devika: Oh Miri... how did a family that produced you and Ariel ever end up with a.... a....
Miranda: No one knows... oh, Mom and Dad were always proud of him. He was always inventing weird stuff. But me and Ariel... we.... hey.
Miranda: Hey Taelyn, where IS my beloved sister?
Taelyn: I don't know anything about your "beloved" sister, but Ariel told me the night of the portrait that she had to go out of town to take care of your Uncle Tex. I guess he's real sick.
Devika: Awww, Miri. I wonder why YOU weren't called to help take care of him?
Miranda: Hmm, could have something to do with the fact that we don't HAVE an Uncle Tex.
Devika: Oh! Well then, I wonder where she went?
Miranda: Dunno... the cops show up... Ariel mysteriously dissapears to take care of a sick uncle we don't have. Hmmm.
