Somewhere near Melbourne, Australia.


"It's really big... Are you sure this is the same small and cute pig from your pictures? The one that had her nose between your breasts on the sun lounger?" Kat stares at the animal with caution, not wanting to get closer to the fence just in case her beautiful blue dress gets stained. It's a bit windy today and she wraps herself up in her jacket before turning to look at the actress.

"Yes, the very same Euphemia. I swear..." Ruby nods laughing amused.

"We didn't expect her to reach this size, honestly..." Katia Langenheim smiles kindly at the girls before throwing a piece of fruit to the pig and giving another one to Cookie who looks very happy feeding the animal without fear, helped by Jin who's carrying the bucket full of apple chunks. The woman has been extremely kind and lovely to the girls and their momma, trying to reassure them because it was obvious they all were deadly nervous the day they arrived. But after a warm welcome, some cake and tea to regain strength after a very long flight and car ride and several hours of sleep, everything went smoothly between Ruby's old and new family. They went for a walk on the beach, rode bikes together, went to the near small village from some grocery shopping and shared recipes when they cooked together while Cookie and Ruby played video games.

The girls are enjoying their holidays but it's pretty obvious that Ruby is more than happy, she's overjoyed to have all of them together and smiles every time Iselen and Katia laugh in the kitchen while making some delicious meal. She was thrilled when her mum opened the presents the girls got for her and loved them all: the finest China porcelain from Jin, best quality English tea from Cookie and a stunning kaftan from Kat. The outcome of this trip was important for her but things are going even better than she could've anticipated and would like to introduce her new family to some of her old friends although she doesn't want to put much pressure on Iselen and the girls: she wants them to remember these days with joy and not because of a nervous breakdown. The hungry sounds of Euphemia bring the actress back to reality.

"She's so funny while eating yogurt..." Jin laughs holding the bucket for the young girl whose sinking the spoon, even Kat has got closer forgetting about her dress in order to take some pics for their Instagram.

"Where's Iselen?" Katia asks keeping an eye on her pig, ready to help the girls if the animal gets too excited with the food.

"She asked us to leave her alone..." The young Asian explains shrugging. "She wanted to bake blue blob's favourite cookies because it's her birthday but she always claims she can't do it if we're wandering around the kitchen because we eat the dough and chocolate chunks."

"And it's true..." The youngest girl manages to say before her sister starts yelling and gesturing dramatically.

"Oh my God, it's Cookie's birthday? I can't believe it, this is news to me... Happy Birthday!"

"Kat, you already said that a hundred of times... In fact, you woke me up five minutes after midnight to say Happy Birthday and give me my present. Thanks for the new video game and earbuds, by the way."

"Okay, I'll stop... it's just that I love to say 'Happy Birthday, Cookie' and see you blushing every time."

"Kat! You said it again! And you're interrupting Euphemia's meal..." The young girl shakes her head frustrated while Jin and adults chuckle but she can't say a word to keep making fun of the blue blob because her phone warns her she has a new text. Ruby's phone rings too and then Kat's and Cookie's so it's means a text that arrived to their group chat, probably... but they're all here. They all frown confused and rush to take their phones from their pockets.
