Hana: Okay, so I think we're all ready go to, hu?
Tessa: Almost, I think this side zipper thing is stuck.
Opal: It's really nice of Wendy to let us come. I didn't think she thought of us as family, you know?
Hana: Well, she listed all of us on the "family portrait" e-mail. So there you go. But yeah, it is nice to be included.Opal: Here, Tessa. Let me help you with that.
April: So THEY were probably included too, hu?Hana: Yeah, they were on the e-mail. But I don't know if they'd go to something like a family portrait and meeting, you know?
Hana: But, even if they do, Amber and her little "pack" know better than to start anything with us. Especially with Wendy right there. It'll be okay. I hope...(meanwhile, a few apartments over)
Jo: Yeah, they got copied on the e-mail. I can't see Hana refusing to go, and if she goes, they all will.
Cyn: Well, we're ready for them.
Amber: Indeed.
Jo: Amber, what ARE we going to do if they're there? I mean...
Amber: Nothing. Nothing is going to happen. We'll all just smile, and put on happy faces for Wendy's little portrait. We'll probably ditch the meeting afterwards, though.
Amber: Hana and her crew aren't going to give us trouble in front of everyone else. And if they do... well, they'll just wish they hadn't, now won't they?
