Everyone who'd just arrived (and who was there already) sat around a table. There were too many to have stood around the kitchen one so they'd gotten one outside. Sally stood a bit outside of the group of adults. They all seemed to know what was going on, or at least have some idea, and were all discussing what they should do next, even Tyler. But it looked like she'd have to wait out this adulty talk.

Just then, a girl in a pink sweater ran outside and started tugging on Gertrude's jumper, "Mommy*?! Where's mwy waffles?"

Gertrude sighed, "Sally will make you waffles, won't you Sally? Tyler can help."

She took hold of the back of Tyler's hoodie and pushed him towards the two Sallys.

Sally hugged the other Sally, "Yway! I hwave a twin."

Sally found it slightly odd to be hugged like that by someone older than her. She looked about 18, but acted like a three year old...**

Tyler started walking towards the kitchen door providing no help. She didn't really blame him. She'd do the same, "Okay! Okay...we need to actually make the waffles you know..."

Sally (the older one) raced towards the kitchen, with the twelve year old trailing behind her. Suddenly, something got in her (the younger one's) way and yelled a bit as she almost tripped.

Beneath her feet were two cats. One was brown with patches of orange and white, and one was white. It looked like someone had dyed parts of it pink, and done it well. The fire looked almost natural.

Sally noticed name tags on the cats. She frowned, they must belong to someone then...

The first cat's name tag simply read 'Taco'. There were four numbers beneath it: 1810. There was no way of telling who the owner was, though, unless it was a code of some sort. Or if the owner's name was Taco. That just didn't seem right.

The second cat's label read 'Lauren', and that was it. It was weird for them to just show up like that, right under her feet. She looked at them as if to say, "Uhh...Hello, but goodbye." And started to walk into the kitchen.

She didn't walk two steps before she was interrupted by the cats again, "Okay, okay! Just don't get on my feet."

The cats did the closest thing they could to a smile, as if they could tell what she was saying, and followed her into the kitchen.

In the kitchen, Sally (the older one) was staring intently at Tyler as he looked for ingredients to make waffles. All he'd found was a shelf full of bottles with labels on them, and a cupboard with flour and sugar in.

"Have any idea how you make waffles?" He asked.

"Nope..."

Tyler brought out some of the bottles so she could see the labels. One said, "Secret Waffle Ingredient: REMEMBER'. Another read: 'Magic Thing to Make Things Work Properly. From your sister Maddie :)'. Another said, 'Ajoutez aux gaufres - Amiée'.

"Lwet's add thwem awll!" Sally (the older one) grinned. Tyler took a bottle and started to open it.

Just then, there was a wailing noise like no other, "ARHGG. ARHGG. ARHGG. ARHGG."

Tyler put his hands over his ears, "It's so much worse in real life..." He ran to the bathroom, with Sally in pursuit, wondering what was going on.

When they reached the bathroom, nothing was there.

"Dam it!"

Sally was confused at the spelling of this word***, "Why dam, and not damn...?"

"Because of the Dam Snack Bar."

"...Okay." She looked at the toilet, "There's nothing there."

"Yius, you are right." He said.

"Yius?"

"It's like yus, but with an 'i'."

"I gathered that. What's meant to be here then? And why are we in a bathroom?"

"That was the Toilet Toucher's laugh."
