Ilonggo Version

The twins are inside the room with Menggay. Outside the door, RJ paces back and forth while Bastian chews his fingernails.

Finally, Coleen and Colette emerge.

"RJ. Tian."

"Ano na?"

"We have bad news."

"Si Menggay?" RJ dreads.

"May bisita. Ga dysmennorhea. Indi na na siya makaupod sa inyo."

"Ha?" Bastian and RJ look at each other.

"Puede siya maistorya?" RJ asks.

"Nga-a amo ka na, RJ? Daw nakulba-an ka guid haw?" Coleen questions.

"Grabe ka mag-react.  Daw nagbata si Menggay ba." Colette teases.

"Ako sulod kwarto." Bastian chimes in.

"Isa ka pa nga bata ka. Kusi-un ta ka karon," one twin says.

"Guwa na kamo," orders the other.

RJ and Bastian are booted out of the house. The new askal guard wakes up and looks at the duo in the garage.   It yawns and goes back to sleep.

"Lantaw na ta sine." Bastian says.

"Indi na lang. Wala si Menggay."

"Sin-o Minorya?"

"Minorya?"

"Bisita Menggay."

RJ stutters, blushes and fails to explain.

He takes Tian's hand.
"Lakat ta.  Tan-aw na lang ta Iron Man."

"Popcorn ko ha."


Filipino Version

Finally, Coleen and Colette emerge.

"RJ. Tian."

"Ano na?"

"We have bad news."

"Si Menggay?"

  "May bisita. Nag dysmennorhea. Hindi na makakasama sa inyo." 

"Ha?" Bastian and RJ look at each other.

"Ano'ng nangyayari sa 'yo, RJ? Parang kabadong-kabado ka." Coleen questions.

"Grabe ka maka-react. Parang nanganak si Menggay a." Colette teases.

"Ako pasok kwarto." Bastian chimes in.

"Isa ka pang bata ka. Kurutin kita mamaya," one twin says.

"Labas na kayo," orders the other.

RJ and Bastian are booted out of the house. The new askal guard wakes up and looks at the duo in the garage. It yawns and goes back to sleep. 

"Nood na tayo sine." Bastian says.

"Huwag na lang. Wala si Menggay."

"Sino Minorya?"

"Minorya?"

"Bisita Menggay?"

RJ stutters, blushes and fails to explain.

He takes Tian's hand.
"Tara na. Nood na lang tayo ng Iron Man."

"Popcorn ko ha."
