Emily: twirls hair It's really you... I can't believe it. All these years...
RainbowFusion
Yeah... it's been too long. And you look just like I remember too.
nervously I... I've missed you so much. pauses, takes a step back But... why now? Why did you come back?
RainbowFusion
Why not? You're my sister, and I've been thinking about you every day since we last saw each other.
crosses arms, defensive I don't understand. You disappeared without a trace, and now you just show up out of nowhere. How can I trust that you won't leave again?
RainbowFusion
Trust is earned, not given freely. But I'm here now, and I'm ready to explain everything.
takes a step forward, eyes narrowing Fine. Explain away then. But don't expect me to believe everything you say right off the bat. I've had years to build up these walls, and they won't come down overnight.
RainbowFusion
I was young when I left, naive and seeking freedom. But as I grew older, I realized I couldn't live without knowing where you were, sis. So, I came back to find you and make things right.
narrows her eyes further Well, it's going to take a lot more than words to convince me that you're sincere. Actions speak louder than any promises you can make.
RainbowFusion
Agreed. Actions are what you'll see, and I intend to show you I'm serious. Let's start with a simple gesture—reconnecting our old phone call.
hesitates, then slowly nods Alright. But don't think this means I'm fully trusting you yet. We'll see what happens over time.
RainbowFusion
That's all I ask. Thank you, Emily. This means a lot to me.
stands tall, voice firm If you truly mean that, then prove it. Show me that you're willing to do whatever it takes to stay in my life this time.
RainbowFusion
I'll do whatever it takes. Whatever it takes, Emily.
gently places a hand on RainbowFusion's arm I had almost given up hope of ever finding you again. But now that you're here, I want to believe that things can be different. Let's take it one step at a time, sis.
RainbowFusion
Yes. One step at a time. And for starters, let's go inside and reconnect with our family.
tightens her grip on RainbowFusion's arm, pulls her towards the cabin door Yes, let's go inside. It's time to face the past and rebuild what was lost.
RainbowFusion
squeezes Emily's hand Lead the way, sis. I'm right behind you.
pauses at the cabin door, takes a deep breath Before we go inside, I need to tell you something. Our parents... they passed away a few years ago.
RainbowFusion
I hug her I'm so sorry, Emily. I should've been there for you. I didn't know.
pulls away from the hug, a determined look in her eyes It's alright. You couldn't have known. But now that you're here, we can face whatever comes together.
RainbowFusion
Thank you, Emily. I'm here now, and I'm not going anywhere. We'll get through this together, I promise.
leads RainbowFusion inside the cabin, showing her around This place holds so many memories.
RainbowFusion
looking around in awe Wow, it's beautiful. It feels like stepping into our shared childhood.
pauses at the dining room table, running her fingers over the wooden surface We used to have so many meals here, laughing and talking.
RainbowFusion
smiling warmly I remember those times. The laughter, the stories... they were some of the happiest moments of my life.
As Emily and RainbowFusion sit down at the dining room table, they hear a loud creak coming from upstairs, causing Emily to freeze with fear
