Tag ran up to Tree and grabbed her by her collar, nearly lifting her off the ground.
After a few moments of grimacing at her, she smiled. "Good to see ya, sis."
She grabbed a rubber chicken from the floor and smacked her with it, smiling lovingly.

About ready to run back upstairs, Ershey blinked, looking at the pair. What just happened? "I'm guessing this is nothing new?" she muttered, taking notice of the wand and realizing it was an old firecracker.

"Oh, you have no idea," Tree replied, accepting Tag's chicken-slap without resistance. "Things explode, people get kidnapped, sometimes it turns out that you have an evil twin... life is like this 24/7 when you live in a random thread."
Did I just break the fourth wall? she mused to herself.

"No, it's fine. I don't think you did, Tree." Tag replied just before taking Tree's arm and sinking her teeth into it.
"Someone's been eating a lot of bacon lately... Which reminds me, Mush better come back soon with my pig!"

Upon hearing the two talk, Ershey shrugged, her eyes scanning the room to see if she could find anything interesting. Boxes and boxes were stacked on each other, with things peeking out here and there. She was extremely amused by an empty jewelry box, however, her ears perked up when she heard Tag mention Mush's name.
"Mu -- er, pig?"

"Gilgamesh," Tree clarified with slight sigh of indignation at her sister's biting. "Taggy lent him to Mush because he needed a potbellied pig to help him sell more papes. Girls just looove potbellied pigs. You should try it sometime... it really pushes sales through the roof."

Mush apparated into the basement, holding Gilgamesh in his arms.
"Here ya go, Tags. I hope it's okay that he grew a pair of wings." Before Tag could answer, Mush apparated back out in the middle of doing a back somersault.

"Oh, it's fine!" Tag replied to the empty space where Mush had just been. "I was going to dress him up as a fairy princess, anyway!"
Tag scooped her mini potbellied pig up on her arms, talking all sorts of baby talk to him.

Tree rolled her eyes, watching Tag with disgust. "You act like he's your kid or something. Imagine how gross it would be to give birth to a pig!" She shuddered and held her rubber chicken closer. Suddenly, she realized something.
"I don't think we've met," she said, turning to the girl who seemed to be confused or terrified (or both) of everything that was going on around her. She stuck out her hand. "I'm Tree, and this is my rubber chicken, Ignatius. She wheezes if you squeeze her."

"Ershey," she said, shaking the girl's hand, still quite taken aback by what was happening in the basement. What in the world did she step into? "Are you two related?"

"Yes, and no." Tag replied, conjuring up a tiara for Gilgamesh's fairy princess costume out of thin air.
"We're sister, but we're not sisters. Sometimes I think we're actually twins, but I don't think that's true, either. Why? Are you two related?" She asked, pointing to Tree and Ershey.

"We could be," Tree said, crossing her arms and studying Ershey closely. She walked in a circle around the other girl, then bent down to peer at her feet. "I think we wear the same shoe size. That means we're cousins, right?"

Ershey shrugged, deciding to just go along with it. Eh, what's the worse that could happen?
"Yes, of course," beamed Ershey, she linked arms with Tree and put her foot next to Tree's. "Definitely first cousins."

Tag put her foot next to theirs, too. Unfortunately, it was a tiny bit bigger. "I guess that means I'm your aunt."
She dressed Gilgamesh up in the rest of his fairy princess costume, then put him on the ground to show him. "Oh, isn't he divine?! He's going to win that pageant, I tell you!" Tag cried as she brandished her walking stick.
"Oh, whoops. I thought I gave that back to Spot ages ago!"

"It's okay. He won't be needing it. I think he went on a flying carpet trip to Russia last week, and no one's seen him since. Or - " Tree gasped in realization " - perhaps our dearest Flare has kidnapped him! Wouldn't that be simply smashing?"
She took another look at Gilgamesh, who was frolicking happily on the dingy basement floor, and frowned. Something about him seemed off. Aside from the fact that he was a potbellied pig in a fairy princess costume, of course.
