(back at the mansion)
Awesome: (enjoying the tunes on his ipod)
Hater: [was at the living room helping Peepers out with the wedding budget wen the gang came in] Oh hey, welcome home. Who's ur new friends there?
Aymie: [chk the plc out] Huh, swanky
Sylvia: Its a surprise [calls out to Awesome] Hey Fish Face, look who I bumped into
Awesome: (turns off his ipod) Did you say something, Bumble...(pauses when he sees three familiar faces)...bee...?
Alice: :) Hey, big brother...
Anna: :) Awesome.
Aymie: [doesn't say a word, just crossed her arms with a frown]
Sylvia: I think we better give em some space
Hater: [got the hint] Yeah, let's [ushered the rest of them out to give them some privacy]
Awesome: (stands up) :) Hey where've you all been?
Alice and & Anna: (come over to embrace him)
Alice: ^^ We've been very busy, mostly with film business.
Anna: :) A job where all three of us could do what we wanted to do as marina pups.
Awesome: :) That's good to hear. (looks at Aymie) ?
Aymie: [doesn't embrace him, sulking as she stood her ground, her arms crossed]
Awesome: :(? Little sis?
Anna: Aymie, don't be rude to our brother.
Aymie: Rude? I'd say I'm behaving exactly wat he had it coming. Dumping our whole family for the sake of that zbornak bitch, Bella, Belmar, whatever her name is, n now shacking up with ANOTHER zbornak? Guess ur a sucker for punishment, huh?
Awesome: Hey, hey, hey! You shouldn't be comparing Sylvia to Becky, she's nothing like Becky was or is. Sylvia actually cares for me and how I feel about her.
Alice: Aymie...
Aymie: No, Alice! Hv u forgotten wat it did to Daddy after Awesome left? He literally became a shell of his former self, drinking n gambling his troubles away! Whose fault is it that we had to quit school n get into this gig business just we could look after Daddy's drunken sorry ass?! Thanks a lot btw, bro! [glared at Awesome bitterly]
Awesome: (backs up a little)... I was feeling some stress after what happened with Becky, okay? I wasn't thinking! And... (swallows) Is...is Dad even doing okay?
Anna: :(...
Awesome: ...Has he...?
Aymie: He's dead [glared bk at a shocked Awesome] Yeah, u heard me. He's dead. Drank himself to death 3 yrs ago. We were on tour n the space police called us coz they found him unresponsive at a dark alley with a bunch of fire whiskey bottles nxt to him n a couple of casino chips. They think he might've gotten himself drunk aftr another gambling loss. He lived long enough for us to come bk to see him one last time, bt all he could utter was u... In the end... he still thought of u... [tears welling up as she looked dwn]
Awesome: :o ...(thinks; dad...) (tries to come over to Aymie) Sis...
Alice & Anna: :(...
Aymie: [backs away sharply] NO! Ur not getting me tht easy. I'm not the goody-two-shoes like Alice n Anna! I'm not the sweet little Aymie u think I am anymore! I hate u!
Awesome: :( ... (steps over anyhow and embraces her, keeping a grip on her)
Aymie: [struggles in his arms, hitting at his chest] No! NO! I hate u!! Let go of me!! LET GO!! Let...go...!! [finally bawled in his arms as she hugged him bk]
Awesome: (rubs her back) Shh, shh, shh...Big Bro's got you now...big bro's got you...
Anna & Alice: (smile for the two)
Aymie: [sobs in his arms for a good long min before she calmed dwn, still hugging him]
Awesome: (loosens his grip a little) Better?
Aymie: [sniffles] Maybe... bt I'm still mad at u for leaving... U left us alone to fend for ourselves wen Daddy went south...
Awesome: ...I was trying to help him out too, despite that argument we had...everything else just got in the way for me...but I never forgot you guys...
Anna: We didn't either... (joins the embrace)
Alice: (also joins it)
Aymie: [leaned her head on his shoulder] U won't leave us anymore, will u?
Awesome: Of course I wouldn't...not anymore...
Wander: (peeking from around the corner) :)
Sylvia: [whispers] Wander~ U knw better than to peek
Wander: ^^; It's a habit, can't help it. But it sounds like it's going okay so far...
Sylvia: Yeah, sounds like it. wat r the odds of running into them, eh?
Wander: (nod) Yeah.
Awesome: (still hugging his sisters)
[Aymie's phone rang]
Aymie: [answers it] Hello? ...Uh-huh... Yeah, yeah, I knw... Fine~ [hang up] Our gig's up, we gtg
Awesome: Already? You sure you don't have time to see your nephews?
Alice: :O Nephews?
Anna: :O That means we're...
Aymie: Ur wife did say she's pregnant with ur second child... [looks at the time] I'm sure we can spare a bit of time to see them...
Awesome: :) You should see how big they've gotten. (calls out) Bumblebee, care to join?
Sylvia: [shows up sheepishly] How'd u knw we're here?
Awesome: (shrug) Call it a hunch.
Sylvia: [rolled her eyes] The boys r in the nursery playing with the other kids. C'mon, right this way
Aymie: Other kids?
