Imee and Irene are just talking in the kitchen while they're waiting for the brownies to give it to Vida. She's doing her homework on her room because she just started schooling.
" How's Vida pala Ate? " tanong ni Irene habang nakapangalumbaba
" She's doing good. Napaka-bibong bata, parang ako daw nung araw. " Imee said
" Nakakatuwa nga eh, ang talino pa at ang bai— " hindi na natapos ni Irene ang sinasabi niya ng marinig nilang bumukas ang pintuan ng kwarto ni Vida
They also heard her sniffing.
" Momma? " she cried out
" Yes darling? We're here in the kitchen! " Imee shouted and they heard her ran
" Why are you crying Princess? " Irene asked and Vida wanted to be carried kaya kinarga ni Imee
" M-momma, my name is too long. I'm t-tired and my hand hurts. " the little girl sobbed and Imee and Irene silently laugh at what Vida just said.
" Aww. I'm sorry sweeheart. Just rest and I will help you later, okay? " Imee said and her daughter just nodded and hide her face to Imee's chest
" Ayan kasi Ate eh, kinabog mo kasi yung pagpapangalan ni Mommy sa atin. Pati tuloy ang Princess Bunny ko nahihirapan. " Irene said at hinagod ang likod ni Vida
" Wow ha. You're one of us kaya who named my daughter. Kaya just shut up Irene and wait for the brownies. " Imee replies
" Sungit neto, wag sana magmana sayo yang pamangkin ko. Ipapatakwil talaga kita kay Imelda. " banat ulit ni Irene
" Ako pa tinakot mo, baka kamo ikaw ang ipabalik ko sa kung saang haponesa ka napulot. " Imee
" Momma? Tati? Are you fighting? " Little Vida asked
" No, My Love. We're just making asar each other because we're sisters. That's what we do since we were kids. " Imee chuckled and her daughter just nodded
" Momma, why is my name so long? It can't even fit on my paper and my classmates are struggling to pick what will they call me. " Vida said
" Your Lola, Tati Irene and Me really thought about your name because you are very special to us. " Imee said
" Because you're our one and only princess. " Irene added
" Lola Imelda said that because you're our only baby girl, we should name you Maria too like me and your Tati and Tata. I named you Vida Therese because you are my Life and I knew that I'm having you on late summer. " Imee said and kissed her daughter's cheeks
" The Brownies is done! " Irene shouted that made Vida smiled at last
