"You know, it's not nice to ambush your own surprise party."
"Would you like us to disappear and reappear again?"
*Ooof*
"Please don't."
"Well, hello Jacklyn. What's with all the overgent hugs? We weren't gone that long, were we?"
"I know, but it felt like forever."
"Huahh. Forever? A week is forever to you?"
"Well.....maybe."
"Can you let us go now? We may be made light as air but we still have to breathe."
"Sorry."
"I don't know what's gotten into you."
"I uhhhh....I just...….."
"Tell mom if she'd like a slice of Strawberry cake."
"What?"
"Jacklyn, remember; she likes strawberry cake. And right now she doesn't feel safe around you. You have to convince them you are Jacklyn."
"I'll do my best."
"Do your best? Are you talking to someone?"
"No one is here."
"Uhh…yeah. No one is….I mean, talking to no one. I meant I'll do my best to...to...…..beat you in a pie eating competition."
"Honey, you're pointing to the Strawberry shortcakes."
"I meant, we will have a competition later. That's why they're setting up the tables, you see."
"....Uhuh. Thanks."
"Smooth, Operator. Smooth."
"Shut it,Lil bro."
"What was that?"
"Uhh….nothing. Have fun, and again I'm happy that you're back."
"We...…are too. Thanks."
"Urrraagghhhh. Jacklyn, how could you be so stupid."
"Hey, hey; what's wrong."
"Did you see me freeze?"
"Like a Popsicle."
"Teressa, shhh. What she meant was…."
"You froze more solid than my Lakes I made you."
"Rethinking your dance?"
"It's been twenty years. What do I even say?"
"Feel like a fish out of water?"
"Why not just start off with...….hi."
"Hi?"
"Look at them, smiling and laughing. The whole town is on their side, and yet...…all they care about is who is on their side. You. They are just as excited about this dance as you. First time you've ever hopped back on stage with them since….well.....you know."
"No need to remind me."
"I'm not reminding you.
…..I'm reminding them.
I'm sure they'd like to know what you've been up to since then."
"And why you want to out of the bue come back."
"To thank them for all they taught me. To show I haven't left."
"A School, a Time Machine, dozens of missions, a Basketball Stadiums, and....."
"Ok, Ok. I get your point. You all know me, but they don't."
"Then show them."
"Whoo, whooo, whooo, whooo, whoo, whoo, whooo, whoo, whooo. Just gotta do a few warmup stretches and..."
"Just go."
*Push*
"Aaaaggh.
Okay, okay. I'm going."
"Good luck."
"AND ACT NATURAL. It's true that Mothers third eye sees all. They can tell when something's up."
"You got this, Sis."
"Thanks."
*Click*
"Yes?"
"Thanks for letting me have a second chance."
".................................................If this plan doesn't work, I will kill you myself."
*Click*
(It's not that her brother is serious about it. He's just....Jacklyn killed them all once. He's just afraid she might come back and do it again since there are no more batteries left to travel with. Just a Bro looking out for his fam, because there is no third chance after this.)
