Lights flickered on, in the kitchen Nico sat eating nondairy ice cream. "It's late," Tina sighs, "has your sister come home yet?"

"No, but don't worry," Nico sighs, "she'll stumble in any second now, probably drunk or high..."

Tina's head snapped in shock, "What?!"

"Yeah, when were younger she'd sneak out and come home under the influence and get up the next morning fine." Nico explained.

Tina sighs, "Now, I'm worried."

Then the door blew open and Hana appeared:

"It's late what are you two doing up?" Hana asked

"It's late what are you two doing up?" Hana asked.

"What were you doing out," Tina retorts, "it's half past three?"

"Bewitching hour..." Hana chuckles.

Tina, then, narrowed her eyes, "Is that my dress?"

"Then why was it in my closet?" Hana retorted.

"Your father must have put it there..." Tina gritted her teeth, as Robert walks towards Hana.

"Just got home, kid?" Robert asked.

Hana shrugs, as Nico chuckles, "But you have to admit, mom, it does look better on her..."

Hana smiles, "Thanks sis."

"Great!" Tina exclaimed, "I lost both my daughters!"

Robert shook his head, "Stop being dramatic, I'm sure Hana would come back."

Hana hums as she takes off her heels, "I can finally feel my toes!"

"What a weird thing to say..." Nico declared.

Hana sighs and walks up the stairs.

"What the..." Nico started. "Music?" Nico questioned. "And I have the nagging feeling that whatever is going on..." Nico pointed at her sister, "has something to do with her!"

Hana turns around and slowly descends the stairs, "And what makes you so sure this was my doing?"

"Who else in this house is able to lure a man?" Nico asked.

Hana shrugs, "Mom did."

Tina walks towards Hana, "Who?!"

Hana smirks, "Dad."

Robert chuckles, "She's right."

Tina turns to her husband, "Robert?!"

Robert stifled his laughter, "What? She's right."
