Alex: Removes mask, smirking Surprise, Sis! Bet you didn’t see that coming, huh? Long time no see!
gasps, eyes widening in disbelief Alex?! No way... Is it really you? After all these years?
smiling warmly Yeah, it's me, sis! The one and only! I couldn't stay away from you forever.
tears welling up Alex... Where have you been all this time? What happened to you?
puts a hand on MacaroonJoy's shoulder It's a long story, sis. But let's not dwell on the past.
sniffs, wipes her tears Okay, Alex... Let's catch up. But first, tell me why you disappeared without a trace.
takes a deep breath It's a bit complicated, sis. But the truth is, I was going through a rough patch.
leans in, intrigued A rough patch? That doesn't explain everything, Alex. You vanished without a trace!
pauses for a moment, looking down Look, I know I messed up, sis. I should have reached out and kept in touch.
crosses arms, skeptical Sorry isn't good enough, Alex. We need answers. And we need them now.
takes a deep breath and looks MacaroonJoy in the eyes Sis, I was struggling with my identity and my place in the world.
furrows brows Identity? What do you mean, Alex?
takes a step closer to MacaroonJoy I felt like I didn't belong anywhere, sis. I was caught between two worlds, not fully part of either one.
sighs Alex... I still don't understand. Why couldn't you just reach out to us?
takes MacaroonJoy's hand in his I know I messed up, sis. But I'm here now, and I want to make things right.
softens gaze I... I miss you, Alex. We're sisters, after all. Let's never lose touch again.
embraces MacaroonJoy tightly I promise, sis. We'll never lose touch again. I'll do whatever it takes to make our family whole again.
voice cracking Alex... We've missed you so much. Our family... it's never been the same without you.
holds MacaroonJoy close, voice filled with determination I'm back now, sis. I'm ready to face whatever comes next, with you by my side.
chuckles weakly Damn, Alex... I almost thought I'd lost you forever. Good thing you're a damn good 'ol chap, eh?
smirks You bet your ass I am, sis! I've got more tricks up my sleeve than a magician on steroids.
grinning Well, aren't ya full of surprises, Alex? Guess this is our chance to show the world what we're made of!
Hell yeah, sis! We're gonna rock this city like a freaking earthquake! First things first, though, we gotta find a place to crash. Any ideas?
laughs Always thinking ahead, aren't ya Alex? Actually, I got just the spot. It's a dingy little flat, but it's home. And... it's all yours.
grabs MacaroonJoy's arm Great! Lead the way, sis. We'll make that dump sparkle like diamonds. And hey, maybe we can even recruit some of our old mates to join the cause.
