Lucille: "It has been, literally, 10 minutes since they left! Nothing bad has happened to them!" she says, trying to calm her pacing brother

Noah: "Jeez, just sit goddamn down, kid!" they yell, making Edmund stop in his tracks

Edmund: "For your information, first, Lori didn't tell us where she was going, and second, I'm scared they're hurt!"

Noah: "Lori is the most careful person I know!"

Lucille: "The way Edmund met her was her jumping out of a tree and remembering him!

Edmund: "How do you know- SHOOT, I forgot I told you..."

Noah: "You have serious memory problems." they say flatly

Edmund: "Oh, I know, and everyone tells me so!" he says, smiling at the pesky pollinator

Lucille: "We do! Once, Edmund was looking for his tie, but earlier that day Mother asked Ed if she could get rid of it, and so Ed had wasted 'bout 35 minutes of his life!" she says, with a laugh, earning a glare from Edmund

Noah: "Uhhhh- Do you kids want coffee?" they say, holding up a mug that said 'You are never alone if you have demons' and it had two little ghosts on it

Edmund: "Yes please." he says, about to continue pacing

Lucille: "Worried about your boyfriend?" she says, holding back a laugh when Ed's face turned into a reddish-pink

Edmund: "He isn't my boyfriend!" he says, glaring at Lucy

Noah: "Boyfriend? Who now?" they say, sipping on their coffee, waiting for Edmund's coffee

Lucille: "So, there was this guy~..." she says, standing up and putting her hands over her heart

Edmund: "DON'T EVEN!"

Lucille: "What are you gonna do about it?" she says, smirking at her brother

Edmund: "I'll fight ya, you-you..I can't think of a insult right now but remember the time you cut your own hair, did you cut your hair with a fork and a knife 'cause it looked so bad back then and it still does now!"

Lucille: "Okay! That was one time! Now you're gonna get it, shortie!" she says, holding her fists up

Edmund: "Eh-" he says, holding his fists up as well

Noah: "Finally, a good fight!" they say, jumping over the couch and landing on the couch in a swift motion

In about an hour or two, they were both bloody and bruised

Lucille: "Had enough?" she says, whipping her blood off with her fist

Edmund: "Never..." he says, sniffling in his tears

Lucille: "Are you crying?"

Noah: "And it was fun while it lasted.."

Edmund: "No..." he says, as he backed up against the wall

Lucille: "Why the heck did we do this again?"

Edmund: "To say, I got into a fight to Mom."

Lucille: "I'm sorry..."

Edmund: "It's okay..."

Noah: "Welp, they will be back any minute, Ed, your coffee's ready, Lucy, the bandages are in the kitchen." they say, walking away

*Knock Knock!*

Lordine: "We're bac- Oh my god, what happened!?"

Michael: "Isn't this a surprise, so tell me, who won?"
