Tabby: <leans out of bedroom> WAIT! WE'RE ALMOST READY!
<in bedroom>
Kelly: Tabby, did you have to shout that loud? You hurt my ear.
Tabby: Oh hush, you're fine.
Ann: Tabby, is Mike going to come, too?
Tabby: He was going to, but I guess he can't make it. Something about needing to make up a test, I forget exactly.
Kelly: Making up a test? Is it just me, or do guys keep coming up with lamer and lamer excuses?
Tabby: Oh, I'm sure they all get together and try to think of the lamest possible reasons to back out of family get togethers of any kind.
Kelly: What about Joseph? Is he coming?
Ann: No, he's grounded for not getting me home on time.
Tabby: Woah woah woah, hold it. He's grounded because you were late?
Ann: Not exactly, he was late too. But anyways, are we ready?
Kelly: Let me see. <looks over self and sisters> Yup, we're ready. What a nice touch, we're all wearing our charm necklaces!
<girls walk out of bedroom>
Ann: We're ready!
Kelly: <sigh> they already left without us.
Tabby: No problem.
<girls go to Flint's house in same manner as Mr. and Mrs. Cole>
