"Yeah, like our patience. We were worried sick about you."
"Worry no more. I'm here now."
"Pssst, hi."
"Apple, get down. They'll see you."
"I'll be careful. If anyone tries to slice me, I'll just 'Boo' them like I did Jasmine's kid."
"Fear not, Apple. Dragon took them away. He took both of them away."
"You really have to catch me up."
"And we have to catch up to Serene. She already has her Cobbler in the Oven."
"Tick, tock, Ladies. Tick, tock."
"Don't listen to her, Ruby. I'm sure ANYBODY can throw a store bought can of Blackberries in a premade pan."
"Why you….."
"Ah…uhh. No tricks, remember? We're not."
"Fine, I'll make a Tart too, and show you the real reason why I'm a champ."
"Ma, my fingers are too big to roll these. The filling keeps falling out, and the rolls breaking.
How are you so calm? My head's spinning."
"Once you have kids, you'll understand."
"But I'm too busy for kids."
"Aren't we all, Sista. Aren't we all? Here, let me help."
"Thanks."
"So, why did Dragon take them?"
"Jasmine raised his kid without his knowing, and he wanted him back."
"That'll do it.
What about...…these kids?"
"Well, I don't want to raise them without their parents knowing."
"You're not. You're protecting them. Their parents will be so happy."
"That's not what Dragon thought; and besides, their parents thought they were all dead. Get a hold of their family members, and they'll think I stole them. We burned the Plant, so nothing to tie Fighter to the crimes."
"Then what will you do?"
"I thought they could stay with us. Please? My Mansion is more than big enough."
"What about their family? At least Upfront gave them a consent form, even if it was 'Don't tell anyone they're here'. Sounds sketchy, but their kids grew stronger, so why question."
"Ummm…..yeah."
