[And, here's a familiar face. Maybe? Kinda sorta? Either way, a redheaded teen's going to blink as her computer screen comes to life and greets her with a familiar screen of sorts.]

Oh! Oh, wow! It came back! That... that Duck thing came back!

Hi, everyone! Is everyone okay?! I know it's been so long and I'm so sorry I left you guys and...!

[She goes to bow and, like the first time she was here, she proceeded to headbutt the desk.]

OW...!

[lil_tanuki]

ONEEEEECHAAAAAAAAN!

[Hayate's been virused so she's bitty btw.]

[bag_has_snapped]

H-Hayate!

O-Oh, my gosh! I-It's been so long!

[lil_tanuki]

It has been! I've been virused right away too. You left before I grew up.

[bag_has_snapped]

You... you grew up after I left?! Oooohhhh...!

[And Tsubomi slumps her shoulders at that.]

[lil_tanuki]

Heeeey, you get me as a little kid right now.

So be happy!

[bag_has_snapped]

Oh, I know, I know...

But, I wanted to see you grow up! Big sister thing and all!

[lil_tanuki]

Want to watch home movies then?

[bag_has_snapped]

Well... alright!

Um... ah...

H-Hold on...

[She goes from the computer screen to a bookcase and...

Give her a minute, Hayate, it's been awhile. She forgot how that teleportation thing worked that Yayoi told her about.]

[lil_tanuki]

[It's okay, she hasn't used it in a while either.]

[bag_has_snapped]

[It takes her a bit before she finally gets it.]

Ah-ha! Got it! Be right over!

[And a few seconds later, there's the sound of crashing... in Hayate's closet.]

[lil_tanuki]

[Whoops. Going over, Hayate opened the closet to find Tsubomi there.]

Nice landing, oneechan! Right into the cosplay!

[bag_has_snapped]

[Yup, right into the cosplay and probably one of the more sexier outfits in the bunch... which is HORRIBLY embarrassing Tsubomi at this moment.

Because, seriously, she does not have the frame for it.]

C-C-C-C-C-C-C-Can I ch-change?!

[lil_tanuki]

Awww... well okay! Here, take this.

[And she handed her one of Vita's casual outfits. Same body type.]

[bag_has_snapped]

[Tsubomi quickly takes the clothes, shuts the door, then reopens it, still blushing furiously even as she wears the smaller clothes.]

Th-thank you... I-I just... I don't know what happened to my clothes!

[lil_tanuki]

The closet is a steel trap for clothing. You probably just hit a snag on the way in.

Looking good! C'mon, lets go fire up the DVD player.

[bag_has_snapped]

O-Okay...

[And Tsubomi shuffles along to follow Hayate, still blushing furiously.]

[lil_tanuki]

You look cute anyhow, Oneechan! Real adorable!

[bag_has_snapped]

Y...You think so?

[lil_tanuki]

I know so! Gosh it's been too long. You need so much wardrobe I don't even know where to start!

[bag_has_snapped]

Wh-what?! So much wardrobe?!

[Oh, no, her little sister's become Erika!]

[lil_tanuki]

Yeah and I hand sew it all too! This is why my family has such nice fashion sense.

[bag_has_snapped]

[She really has!]

W-Wow... I-I've missed so much!

[lil_tanuki]

You'll get used to it. I'm sure I'll remain a kid for a while longer so we can catch up.

[bag_has_snapped]

W-Well, then...

[And Tsubomi reaches over to hug Hayate close]

I'm sorry I missed everything. I didn't even get to say goodbye....!

[lil_tanuki]

[Hayate hugged her back. How long has it been? Far too long really.]

I missed you after all.

[icantbelievethis]

Whoa, Tsubomi! Try not to hurt yourself!

[bag_has_snapped]

Eyiii...

{She winces and looks up in confusion.]

N...Nagisa?

[bag_has_snapped]

I'd be hurt if you hadn't...

[icantbelievethis]

Hi, Tsubomi. Welcome back to weird land.

[lil_tanuki]

Mmmhmm! So come on, lets have some fun and watch stuff.

[bag_has_snapped]

I'm... not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing.

[icantbelievethis]

I don't think I'll ever know.

[oceanicbutterfly]

Are you all right?

[why does this seem so familiar]
