// And now, back to our story. After Kain finishes his number...
Raziel: *peeks from under the table* Is it over yet?
Turel: Erm... yeah, it's over... you can come out now.
Raziel: Finally... *nudges Melchiah, who had also been hiding under the table* Come on.
Melchiah: *shudders* The horror! Oh, the horror! I can't bear with it any more! Make it stop! Make it stop!!
Raziel: *sigh* It's over, Melchiah.
Melchiah: ...it is?
Raziel: *rolls eyes* Yes, it is. Come on.
Melchiah: Thank God...
Zephon: *blankly* Wooooow... *drool*
Raziel: Listen, Turel...
Turel: Turelia!
Raziel: ...whatever, I think that Zephon and Melchiah suffered enough brain damage for one night, and you got to see dad's act like you wanted to...
Turel: Actually, that was only the first part.
Raziel: Who cares? Let's go home already, before we get in some serious trouble!
Melchiah: Uh-oh. I think we're in trouble already.
Raziel: *arches an eyebrow*...Whaddaya mean?
Melchiah: *points behind them* Look there. See that woman in the purple outfit? The one that's dancing in front of the stage?
Zephon: *drool* Yeah... pretty woman...
Melchiah: That's mum.
// Silence
Turel: ... this can't be good.
Raziel: I'll say.
Zephon: Umah... *sigh* I love you, Umah... Marry me...
Raziel: Snap out of it! We have to get out of here, before--
Umah: *suddenly appears in the empty chair between Raziel and Turel* Hi girls!
Melchiah: *pathetically* I'm sorry! I never wanted to come! It was their idea! They made me do it!
Raziel: *elbows him* Melchiah, shut up!
Umah: Eh... what...?
Raziel: Never mind, he's... *cough* I mean, *in a girlish voice*, never mind, she's had way too much beer. You know...
Umah: *sternly* Girls your age shouldn't drink beer.
Zephon: *with Anime heart eyes* Umah... I love you...
Raziel: *elbows Zephon* Quit it! *to Umah* Err, of course they shouldn't... actually... err... *telepathically* Guys, help me!
Turel: Say, you have a nice... erm... dress. Where did you buy it?
Umah: Well, I bought it from an Armani shop two days ago. My husband doesn't know about it yet, but I don't think he'll mind when I tell him that I used his credit card to buy it.
Raziel: Wait... did you say husband?
Umah: Yeah! The man who danced just now!
Raziel: You mean... Kain is...
Umah: Well, technically, not yet, but it's just a matter of time.
Raziel: I... see...
Umah: Say, that's a really pretty dress. Come to think about it... I have one that looks just the same! Where did you get it from?
Raziel: Err... I... bought it from a shop in... err... Hong Kong.
Umah: Really? Me too! And what a pretty lipstick you have! You bought it from Avon, right?
Raziel: Umm... yes? *to himself* What the hell is Avon? *loudly* Uh, excuse me, but it's really late, so we'll be on our way...
Umah: Leaving so soon? Come on, the fun hasn't even started yet! Besides, you girls are so pretty! You know... you kinda remind me of my kids, come to think about it.
Raziel: *cautiously* We do...?
Umah: Yeah, you do! I have six boys about your age, only they're far les prettier than you are, and they have horrible tastes and even more horrible manners.
Raziel: *fumes* First of all, we are NOT kids, we're teenagers. Second, we're by far prettier than--
Turel: *stomps on his foot* Raziel, shut up!
Raziel: OW! *glares at Turel*
Umah: What was that?
Turel: Well, he's... erm, I mean, she's drunk. Just like the rest of us. So we really have to go home.
Umah: I'll take you home then! Where do you live?
Turel: Eh, I don't think that'll be necessary. We live in a house nearby.
Umah: Come on, I really want to take you home! And I'd love it if you girls would some day meet my boys! Maybe you can talk some sense into them!
Raziel: *takes a deep breath* We'll think about it.
Cheesy voice: And now, for the second part of Kain's amazing act...
Melchiah: Not again! Dear god, not again! *runs away screaming*
Turel: Wait for me! *runs away as well*
Raziel: Uh, it's been fun, can't wait to chat again, bye!
Zephon: I love youuu...
Raziel: Come on! *drags him off*
Umah: Such nice girls... *notices a scarf on the table* Hey wait, you forgot your--what's this? *reads* Property of Umah... *screams* Thieves! Those girls are thieves! Stop them! *darts after them*
Turel: Mom's running after us!
Raziel: Oh no! You and your bright ideas! Now we're definitely going to get in trouble!
Turel: Wait, I - I can teleport us home!
Raziel: Then do it already!
Turel: Okay... Abracadabra!
// ...And in a flash of light, the four 'girls' disappear, leaving a very confused Umah behind. However...
Raziel: *looks around* Eh... Turel...?
Turel: Yeah?
Raziel: It wasn't snowing five seconds ago...
Turel: Oh no.
Raziel: What?
Turel: I think I kinda messed-up the spell...
Raziel: You - did - what?
Turel: Eh, don't worry, I'll get it right in a jiffy...
Raziel: *glares* Well do it then.
Turel: Yeah. Just a jiffy, that teleporting really drained me...
Raziel: *sarcastically* No problem, I have all the time in the world.
Melchiah: The horror... the horror of it all... the horror...
Zephon: Umah... I love you... *sigh*
Raziel: I hate my life.
