Hunter had only walked a few steps into the café before hearing the voice and being caught off gaurd by the person who was now hugging him from behind.

He turned around, still a bit in shock, "S-sis...?"

It was Aaliyah, his younger sister... one of the people he was hoping to see here, but he never expected this. He looked around the café now realizing that everyone in it was looking at them.

"W-well? Don't keep me waiting...! Do you forgive me...?" she asked, her voice still shaky.

Hunter looked at her and a smile grew on his face, something that didn't happen very often, "If I didn't, would I be standing here... sis?"

Aaliyah's face lit up and she dove at him and hugged him again, but this time he hugged her back, "I'm sorry, too... It's just as much my fault as it is yours, Aaliyah," he said quietly.

--

"What the hell's going on over there?" Gex thought to himself before he turned and realized that Iris had also gotten up to go join the other two sneasels. "What is she doing!?"

"GUUUYS!" Iris yelled as she ran toward them.

They both turned to where the voice had come from, and as if it were planned, they yelled back "IRIS!" at the exact same time.

"How do they know Iris' name...?" Gex thought to himself. "Unless," he thought as he started to connect the dots, "...are those her siblings?" Gex knew little to nothing of Iris' past, though by the looks of things, this seemed to make the most sense.

--

Ebony, looking utterly confused, walked up to the three sneasels who were all talking amongst themselves, "Not to butt in... but would somebody please explain to me what the bloody hell is going on here!? I mean, first it was the secret gift and now--"

"Oh! My gift, I forgot!" Hunter cut her off, "I have something... that I wanna show you guys."

-----------

"Wait! First, we should catch up!" Iris blurted out, then continued, "I missed you guys so much. Come meet my friends, please."

"Wait, what?" Gex thought to himself, "Iris is NEVER that polite! She's definitly close to those two sneasels..."

The sneasels walked over to the table Gex and Rosaline were. "Gex, Rosaline, these are my siblings, Aaliyah and Hunter."

"Hiya, Rosaline! It's a pleasure to meet you!" Aaliyah stuck out her claw to make out a hand shake. Rosaline returned the shake, and nodded her head in agreement.

"She's a mute, don't worry about her," Aaliyah heard Iris whisper in her ear. Meanwhile, Hunter was introducing himself personally to Gex, only to be interrupted by someone's loud and annoyed "AHEM!" coming from behind them.

"Aaliyah! Why did you rush in so far ahead of me!?"

"Hunter, you have a lot of explaining to do..."

The sneasels looked behind themselves only to see a very angry Ninetales and a confused Eevee.

"Ugh, this is my partner, Maleah," Aaliyah blurted out, sounding annoyed.

"Oh, Ebs, these two are my family and it's just been so long since I've seen them... Look, I'll explain the details later, but we have some catching up to do if you don't mind." Hunter stated.

"Yeah, you all have gifts, right? Just, uh, exchange amongst eachother! We all have some catching up to do!" said Iris.
With that, all three sneasels left to a new table. Leaving Gex, Rosaline, Ebony and Maleah alone.

"...So, who wants Pecha berries?" Gex said, with a hint of nervousness and anger in his voice.

--

"Guys, take a look at this... it's for all of us." Hunter pulled out something wrapped.

"What is it, what is it?!" Aaliyah claimed excitedly.

"It's something we got, when we first came here." Hunter slowly unwrapped it, revealing the gifts secrets. It was a stuffed bear of some sort, complete with a red bow-tie. It looked old; one of it's ear almost completely torn off and a spot on it's back that had once been torn open and sewn back together by their mother.

"No way man, you still have this thing... after so many years?" Iris said, about to cry.

"This... this was from when we were young, isn't it?" Aaliyah asked, already sobbing from the nostalgia.

"Yeah, I could never lose it! ...It means so much to me, because it always reminds me of you guys..." Hunter replied shyly, not really looking at anything other than the gift in his claws, "Remember? Mom got it for us and told us to share it... which never really went well," he said with a chuckle and rubbed the back of his head.

"Hey... that's right," Iris exclaimed, remembering more about the toy, "We always used to argue over who's turn it was with it!"

"Yeah, and Hunter never really cared much for the thing but always insisted on having a turn with it because he knew it bugged us!" Aaliyah added as they all basically laughed at themselves over what they now realized was such a silly thing to argue about back then.

What seemed to be hours went by, as they all recounted their experinces.

"Hey Aaliyah, I like your goggles! They look good on you!" Said Iris.

"Yeah, I got these because they reminded me of you... oh, and speaking of reminding, here's my gift," Aaliyah said, pulling out a berry salad. "Just like how momma made it so many years ago..."

"Aaliyah, you still remember that recipe?!" Hunter exclaimed excitedly.

"Of course! I make this salad when I get sad... it normally makes me cry when I eat it though... Not now, however! Oh, but I don't have the dressing, I never could remember that recipe..."

"Good, because I got her special dressing," Iris blurted out, a smirk on her face and a sparkle in her eyes.

"REALLY?!" Aaliyah and Hunter shouted, then looked at eachother and laughed realizing that was the second time that's happened today.

The three siblings may have all normally put on closed-off, mature personalities for their partners, but when it was just the three of them, they truly felt like they were all kids again.

--

Back with the others, however... things weren't going quite as well.
Gex and Maleah got in an argument over who got the last piece of Ebonys cake, but other wise it's been uneventful and awkward... although, Ebony and Maleah seemed to get along well.

It was getting late and the café was getting ready to close... they knew they all had to separate again, but this time, they weren't sad or angry. Tonight had been such an incredible night for the three siblings, and they knew they were all going to see eachother again very soon. No one was running this time.

On the way home, Gex noticed something different about Iris; she had that expression she had back when they first met. She was back to normal, and even though the night was pretty lame for him, he was still glad they went.
