Sprawled out  in their living room, the Schuyler sisters laughed with each other as they watched movies and made stupid jokes.

Peggy was laying upside down on the couch, Angelica was sitting in a recliner to the side of the side, and Eliza was laying on the floor laughing with Peggy.

"You guys are crazy-"

"Oh come on Angie, you know it was funny!" Peggy poked her sister before rolling onto the floor to lie next to Eliza. Slapping Eliza's arm gently, Peggy propped herself up on her arm.

"Remember when I told you that you would pay for making me run downstairs?"

"Yeah...?" Eliza nodded slowly, unsure of where the conversation was headed.
"Payback time!" And before Eliza could move, the youngest of the three sisters had pulled out a can of whipped cream and was spraying it all over Eliza.

"Hey! You're gonna get it on the floor!" Angelica yelled, trying to make sure that her sisters didn't make, yet another, mess of the house.

"Peggy!!!" Jumping up, Eliza chased her sister around their house, quickly grabbing the van from her and spraying it back at the youngest.

Signing as she got up, Angelica walked over to her sisters to try and take the cab from Eliza, only to get sprayed when she walked over. Slightly shocked but still amused, she laughed at her sisters.

"Oh, you guys are so dead. You have five seconds to run." And just like that, the Schuylers were chasing each other around their home with cans of whipped cream spraying each other every chance they got, the dinner with their parents long forgotten.

After a while, Maria stood up slowly, wincing as she moved to walk to her room. She lied down on her bed, laughing bitterly at the situation was in.

Her arms were already starting to bruise, and she was sure her stomach was littered with dark colors in all sizes. Sighing, she pushed herself off the bed and walked over to her closet slowly, grabbing a t-shirt and a pair of shorts to wear.

Once she had changed out of the dress, she walked back to the entry of her apartment and cleaned up the coffee before going back into her room. She lied back down on her bed, closing her eyes before she fell asleep.

——

If anyone had walked in, they probably would have thought a small tornado had stuck the inside of the Schuyler's house. In reality, the sisters were still laughing and trying to catch their breath from what they had deemed 'The Chase'.

Peggy was laying on the floor in living room, still laughing and covered in whipped cream.

Angelica was sitting on the counter in the kitchen, trying to get everything out of her hair while laughing softly with her sisters.

Eliza was doubled over in laughter while standing in the space between the kitchen and the living room, laughing at a stupid joke Peggy had made.

The girls house was a mess, and Angelica was sure they would have to clean everything up before they went to sleep, but she didn't mind. Smiling as she hopped off the counter, she told her sisters that she was going to attempt to get the whipped cream out of her hair by showering before heading upstairs, but not without telling them not to burn down the house while she was in the shower.

Walking into the living room, Eliza lied down on the floor next to Peggy before asking the younger how her day had gone. She didn't know what else to say, but the quiet was starting to get annoying so she just started randomly talking to her younger sister.

"Well, school was boring... Oh! I got the job!!"

Smiling happily at her older sister, Peggy told Eliza all about how she had gotten the a job at the clothing store she had applied for, and about how she would start the job the following Monday.

Eliza smiled and told Peggy all about her day as well, and somehow ended up talking about the woman in red.

"You would have been just as starstruck as me Peggy, she was... she was just amazing." Peggy just laughed at her sister, poking her playfully.

" 'Liza, your gay is showing~"

"Oh shush Peggy, we all know you're gay too."

Pretending to look offended, Peggy gasped and rolled her eyes.
"Yes yes, but at least I'm not fangirling over a random stranger."

Sighing, Eliza knew she wasn't going to win this battle, so she just gave up and let Peggy tease her. This went on for a while, Peggy teasing Eliza while she just sat there laughing every now and then at the ridiculous things her little sister said.

Eventually, all of the sisters had showered and were now clean of the whipped cream.

"Alright you little demons, you started this, and now we to clean." Angelica told them, laughing as they both started complaining about having to clean.

"Nope, we have to clean it up tonight or it'll start to smell."

And with that, the Schuylers started cleaning their messy house.
