Finally the Tucci Brothers arrive, clad in their uniforms, which were as miniscule as the girls' t-shirts.

"Mae Dose! [ED: Carnipelagian slang, hard to enterpret.] They barely fit in those shorts." exclaims Angel.

"Mmm. This is gonna be fun," adds Randi.

"We made our own rule," Angel explains to us, "That if you lose any part of your uniform, you can't put it back on. We think that will be a popular rule. I mean, we do want to sell tickets someday."

Vala offers Emie a hair brush. She never approved of Emie's wild shock of strawberry blond.

Emie finally arrives, looking like a tomboy, barefoot and draped in denim. Vala and she exchange a few words.

Vala doesn't mince words. "What the fuck is he doing here?"
