At the Eagle's house, Zeta placed a small family portrait on the wall. The photo has all four members of the family. Yes, four. Mighty Eagle, Zeta, Debbie, and Aggie. While Mighty Eagle and Zeta held each wing to Aggie and Debbie's shoulders respectively, Aggie has her eagle wings out as one of them wrapped around Debbie's back as they all smiled.
"On the first day I met you, we were good friends, I got married with the woman of my dreams, surprised I have a daughter with her, and now, I can't believe you're finally part of the family," Mighty Eagle told Aggie as the four looked at their new family photo.
"Aww, Uncle Ethan, we're already a family since I visited you so often. Just any kind of relative," Aggie playfully and slowly punched Mighty Eagle's beak as she blushed when she was complimented that she was part of her friend's family.
"But it's true, girl. I saw as an enemy when we first met, but later become friends, and now, you're actually a family. All of this happen because od you, little cutie," Zeta rubbed Aggie's hair with her wing.
Aggie escaped from the tickle fight from her adoptive aunt, "Remember, not related here, Zeta. We can still be good friends."
"And we're buddies now," Debbie hugged Aggie tightly, "I never had a close girl buddy before."
"Well, I'm here now, Debbie. I'll be your buddy that you wanted. Now, just… let… me… go!" Aggie struggled to break free from Debbie's wings as she jumped out, "Well, this is a great family moment. I think I'm gonna go."
"Please tell me you're not going into a crazy promise spree again," Zeta guessed as she remembered that cockatrice mission.
"Not this time. I have to check something at my old house if I left something there, and I'll bring them back here," the sparrow explained.
"Alright there, buddy," Mighty Eagle playfully punched Aggie's shoulder, "Just come home soon."
"Dude, you sounded just like my dad! I love it," Aggie hugged Mighty Eagle before heading towards the door, "Love you guys. See ya!" She spread her eagle wings, and flew off.
The Eagle family just watched Aggie flew out of the door.
"That girl wasn't so bad," Zeta commented.
"What do you think she would be?" Her husband asked.
Zeta didn't know how to explain this as she waved, "Never mind."
As Mighty Eagle and Debbie left to mind their own business, Zeta just stayed there, staring at the family photo. She was so happy, but she still felt like something is missing.
Little did she knew that Aggie came back, and looked through a slightly opened door. She watched Zeta staring and touching the picture. Aggie could sense that something is wrong. She knew that Zeta was already now that she finally married the love her life and became a family with their daughter, but Aggie sensed that something's missing in Zeta's life. Being married and have a family of her own is not enough for the purple eagle.
Suddenly, Aggie realized that if her mom found Zeta as a newly-hatched hatchling, and she was adopted by Aggie's grandparents, this means Zeta was still part of a big family of Mondejar before she ran away back to her home world without acknowledging her adoptive family. Aggie has an idea as she flew off.
Later, Aggie called her adoptive cousin by phone to meet each other with Debbie's parents at Piggy Island in Leonard's castle to discuss something important.
After that call, she even called Red and his group to come as well. But Chuck excitingly requested Aggie to let him bring his sister along, which Aggie regretfully accepted.
She knew that Leonard's castle will be a perfect place she can have a meeting with the birds, and even Leonard.
"Can you please tell me why you want the birds to come in my castle for a meeting?" Leonard asked.
"Because, my dear friend, Leonard, I know I shouldn't involved into my plan since you never met my family yet, but I don't want you to feel left out if I can't invite you into my meetings," the sparrow explained with a smile.
Leonard was touched by this girl's heart, "Aww. You are a sweet friend, Aggie."
"Royalty or not, I can be your friend, Leonard," Aggie said, "I know we have our differences and we sometimes annoyed each other, but since your truce is true, I want our relationship to level up a little."
The king pig started to to blush when the sparrow mentioned about "leveling up their relationship", "When you said 'our relationship to lever up a little', do you mean…"
Aggie's face turned down as she guessed that Leonard thought something what just said, "You know what I mean!"
"Oh, yeah, I know what you mean," He knew this would happened as Leonard erased the fact from his head that it's not exactly what Aggie meant of what she said.
Aggie rolled her eyes, and, like she expected, guessed that Leonard thought that Aggie was talking about leveling up their relationship into romance, but she meant to be just good friends with the pig. This mead her feel uncomfortable as she sat down near the window to clear her mind a bit.
"Plus, I need somewhere private to talk to my friends. I can't use the I Team HQ under Red's house since this is not a serious I Team meeting," Aggie added.
"So, this means, only your close birds friends has to go?" Leonard guessed.
"Yep."
"And Silver?"
"I have no choice. Chuck wants her to join us."
Though Courtney is playing with her phone, she could hear what Aggie just said.
"You still haven't moved on from that?" Courtney took off her headphones, "Come on, Aggie, we all said we were sorry. Silver also said sorry. I also had deleted the picture that I captured about Red and Silver back in Eagle Island. You gotta admit, they're not really a very good couple."
"That's because THEY ARE NOT!" This triggered Aggie's rage as she stomped her foot really hard, making the crack on the floor and made the walls shaking, "Silver stole Red from me! She stole my love from me! I would've have Red to myself when I got the chance! But it was all ruined, BECAUSE OF HER!" Aggie stomped her foot again angrily, making more cracks on the floor and walls.
Leonard almost fell from his throne as he tried to calm Aggie down before the whole castle will fall apart again, "Alright, alright, Aggie! We'll not going to discuss that again. Just calm down."
Aggie believed that she released her emotions too much already as she calmed herself down. She sighed sadly, "I'm sorry, you guys. I… can't get over it," she kneeled down in guilt on the floor.
Leonard and Courtney glanced at each other for a bit, feeling pity for Aggie, as the king got off the chair, and patted Aggie's head, "It's alright. Just give yourself some time, and you'll be better soon,"
Aggie looked at Leonard and smiled that her new friend was trying to help her conquer her guilt.
Suddenly, the birds burst in from the birds.
"We're here, Ags," Red said.
But when they came in, they didn't see any awkward between Leonard and Aggie, but what bothers the birds more was the cracks on the floors and walls, and the throne room was a mess with vases and curtains fall off.
"What happened here?" Matilda inquired.
"It's nothing, guys. Really," Aggie answered in guilt.
Red knew, by the looks of her face, that Aggie was lying as he stared at the king pig, "Leonard, what is really going on?"
Leonard and Courtney had been here the whole time, but they couldn't let Aggie feel guilty all over again. Leonard looked at Aggie who hung her head down in guilt, then turned to Red, "It's not a long story, but it's better not to know."
The birds just glanced at one another as they nodded know to not know what really happened.
"Alright, Aggie, we received your call that only the I Team birds could come here for a meeting," Red recalled.
"'Ahem'," Silver fake-coughed to remind Red she came along as well.
Red rolled his eyes as he added, "And Silver too."
Ruby groaned frustratingly, "Do you have to let her come with us? She's not a member of the I team!"
"Chuck requested it. I have no choice," Aggie crossed her arms and admitted her oath, "As the leader of the Imaginary Team, it's my job to make my friends happy, no matter how I dislike it."
"Ha!" Chuck snapped as he blew his tongue on Ruby.
"Aggie, can I talk to you for just a sec?" the female red bird asked as she and Aggie turned away to talk quietly and privately so no one could listen to them, "Girl, don't event think about putting Silver in the team. I don't like her!"
"Don't worry, Ruby. I won't recruit Silver into the team, even she's so smart," Aggie whispered.
"We have a lot of geniuses and scientists in the team. We don't need her too much."
"I know. I can't let her be part of the team after she stole Red from me. It's unforgettable."
"I understand, Aggie. You're my best friend. I'm so concerned for you. I was just wondering why you let Silver to come along."
"Because, Ruby, Silver is smart. She spent all her time studying and inventing new things. That made her important since her Super String save the islands. But me? All my stuff; magic, friendships, travelling different worlds, I was hurt when I thought everybody thinks that my things are less useful than Silver's. I want to prove her wrong. I want to prove them wrong. I want to show her that I did something hard and with purpose in my life as she has. And because she's a genius,, she doesn't believe in magical and mythical things, well, I want to prove her wrong. I want to prove to her that not everything is all about science and engineering, there's also magic, nature and friendship that bind us together."
Ruby smiled as she was impressed by Aggie's courage and determination, "I love you as a friend, Aggie, but you're kinda bit of a show-off sometimes."
Aggie blushed by her best friend's complimented as she admitted, "Yeah, I truly am."
After the two girls talked, they turned back to the rest of the group.
"Alright, guys, you're kinda wondering why I called you here," Aggie said.
"Yeah, what's up?" Bomb questioned.
"Yeah, Terence and I were about to take our youngest hatchlings to bed," Matilda added.
"It's really important, guys. And I want to share a plan before Zeta gets here. This is what I'm going to do," Aggie started to talk to her friends about her idea about something… something surprising.
Meanwhile, Mighty Eagle and Zeta flew from Bird Island with Debbie riding on her father's back.
"So, why Agatha called us again, and not back from Bird Island?" Zeta asked.
"Cousin Aggie just told me that we should meet her in Piggy Island at King Leonard's castle, and she wants to tell you very important and very secretive," Debbie answered.
"I hope this is all about the collection she accidentally destroyed 5 months ago on her visit in old mountain. That girl owed me," Mighty Eagle said.
Back in the castle, the birds and pigs were waiting for the Eagle family to arrive.
"I hope Mighty Eagle won't destroy my roof this time. Remember on our first war?" Leonard reminded.
"Don't worry, buddy. I already put some signs on their way here," Aggie said.
Just in time, the eagles arrived, only for Mighty Eagle to push the doors open a little hard, causing them to break down.
"Hey!" Leonard cried that the doors of the throne room were broken.
"On the bright side, he didn't break your ceiling this time," Aggie snickered.
"Sorry we came a little late," Debbie slid down to the ground from Mighty Eagle's back.
"This is better be good, Agatha. I was in the middle of something," Zeta scowled.
"Well, reschedule that, Auntie, because I have a big surprise for you!" Aggie shouted happily.
"Ooh, this is gonna be so much fun!" Debbie giggled in excitement.
"What's the surprise?" the purple eagle asked impatiently.
"I just called mom from the phone after she took Leslie to a school for carpenters, and she agreed that you should meet with the whole family again!" the sparrow yelled in a thrill.
Zeta shook her head, and was shocked, "What?!"
"Isn't it great?! After you run away from my home world, and you have many failed attempts to get back, I promised that I will help you reunite with my aunts again!" Aggie threw confetti and jumped happily.
But Zeta didn't respond. She doesn't look so happy. She wanted to be happy that her adoptive niece planned for her to be reunited with her adoptive human family. But, she has doubts about what will happen next.
Aggie stopped jumping when she noticed Zeta didn't look so excited, "What's wrong? Is there something wrong? You're not happy about this?"
Zeta sighed, "It's not because I'm not happy. It's just that… I don't think I'm ready for this?"
"You don't want to meet your other sisters again?" Aggie asked in worry.
"No, I want to see them again. I'm just… afraid that… they don't want to see me again," Zeta frowned in guilt.
"That's not true. They would love to see you again," Rebecca said, "I mean, are Aggie's aunts love you?"
"Yeah, of course, they do love. They love me like their own sister. But, after I ran away, never told where I go, I made them so worried for years. If I showed up just now…, they'll hate me."
"But, Nanay accepted you back," Aggie recalled.
"Because your mother and I were very close, and my human best friend. She's the one who found me when she opened the portal to our my home world at Eagle Island, and urged her parents to adopt me. But for the others? You know how strict they are," Zeta explained.
Aggie's face dropped when she knew what Zeta was talking about, about her aunts, "You're right. They are kinda strict, Zeta. But they always choose family out of anything else, and you're part of it. And I'm sure that if you come back, they will very happy to see you again," Aggie held Zeta's wing gently, and looked up to her aunt, "I promise everything will be fine. That's why I'm coming with you support."
"And us, too," Red added, "We also knew Aggie's aunts, so our team and I agreed to come along for support, and just in case if something will happen between you guys."
"I called them if they agree to come with me to support you, too. The Imaginary Team knew all of my families, so I want to bring them along," Aggie explained.
Zeta still wasn't so sure of reuniting with her other sisters in this time, but with her niece and her friends support, the eagle knew she would be fine as she smiled down at Aggie.
"Wait a minute," Mighty Eagle interrupted the moment, "If your sisters are also Aggie's aunts, which this made them… my sisters-in-law! Uuugghhh!" he groaned in disgust.
"Uh, what's wrong with that?" Zeta looked at her husband.
"Um, Mighty Eagle and my aunts don't get along pretty much," Aggie explained, "Because of his… goofy and 'ding-dong' personality in front of my aunts."
*Flashback*
When Aggie took her aunts on a tour in Mighty Eagle's cave, it was all messy and stinky around here.
There was another time when Aggie's aunt came to Mighty Eagle for a visit, but he accidentally slipped, and accidentally dropped some tea onto them, making the aunts scream.
When Mighty Eagle visited Aggie's world, he hanged out with Aggie's uncles (two of the aunts' husbands) and cousins-in-law playing tennis, but accidentally crashed the ball into a party where the aunts put together.
*End of Flashback"
"Seriously?!" Zeta yelled at Mighty Eagle for not making a good impression towards her adoptive older sister's
"Look, Aggie's aunts are so strict! They rather like formal and well-behaved than me!" Mighty Eagle told his wife.
"Well, since you're married to me, they will going to accept you as their brother-in-law. Like what Agatha said, they prefer family than anything else," Zeta said.
"Yeah, but they still rather prefer perfect and well-behaved. They were always embarrassed when we do something… embarrassing, just like Uncle Ethan," Aggie recalled, "But… he's part of the family now, no matter how embarrassing he'll cause."
"Guess your aunts have to get use to me then," Mighty Eagle sighed nervously.
"So, Zeta… are you still ready to meet our family again?" Aggie asked, hoping for a good answer.
Still, Zeta was too nervous to reunite with her adoptive sisters, but with her family, and her new friends are there to support, she will be just fine. She nodded slowly as she was ready for this reunion.
"And I definitely cannot be going, because I have a lot of things to do here," Leonard looked away.
"You're coming, too!" Red yelled.
"Fine! But I'll bring few of my minions, plus Garry since he was also involve in this. He really want to study more of the multiverse," the king suggested.
"I also have to bring few of my guards, just for full protection. I remember how dangerous your home place is," Zeta told Aggie.
"It's true. Philippines or my whole home world is a dangerous place," the sparrow nodded, H"Hmm, since Leonard and Zeta will bring their guards, I think I should also bring some the other birds from Bird Island, just to be fair."
"Like who?" Hal inquired.
"I'll write them down on my list. Only the birds who haven't gone into my home world yet."
"Poppy, Dahlia, Willow, and Gale already visited your world when I invited them in few occassions," Stella recalled.
"And our parents too," Jay added.
"So that's why they don't need to come along. They've been into my world already, so I need to think of the birds who have to come along." Aggie said.
"So, which sister do I have to meet first?" Zeta asked her niece.
She put her fingers under her chin as she thought of which aunt should Zeta meet first after many many years of not seeing each other, "Hmm… although…"
"What?" Zeta started to get more nervous.
"I just had an idea of who you would meet first. But you might not like it."
"I'll do anything to see my sisters again, Agatha. Yes, I still have doubts, but I think I'm ready to face my consequences for running away without telling them before."
"I know one aunt that might be available, but I don't know if you two want to see each other because of your… sibling rivalry that Nanay told me when I called her."
"Who?" Zeta wanted to know which sister Aggie referred to, until she remembered which of her adoptive sisters that she had a history and sibling rivalry with, "Oh," the purple eagle sighed.
Aggie opened a portal with her own dimensional remote control as she and her friend came out, entering her home world, and Aggie turned back into her human form with fairy wings, which she was born with them. Aside from the birds that Aggie selected to come along, Leonard brought few of his guards, Zeta brought few of her own guards, and few of the birds of Bird Island, like Vivi, Sam-Sam, Ella, Pinky, Alex, Judge Peckinpah, Cyrus, and even the Mime Bird (his request, not Aggie's). Aggie's home is a little dangerous place. They don't know if someone lurking out from the shadows to do anything with crime.
On where they stepped is a dirt street with buried stones. Some houses were under construction, while some were completed. There was also vacant slot with tall grass, and big trees.
"Ladies and gentleman, birds and pigs who haven't came here yet, welcome to my home world!" Aggie announced.
"So this is your home world," Pinky observed the place, "Almost similar to Bird Island."
"Only except it's not just one small island. This is just my home country. An Archipelago country, Philippines!" Aggie's voice echoed to the sky as it revealed that they are standing small country, part of Aggie's home world, Earth. Her Earth. "Since there are infinite Earths in the universe, and your world is also an Earth, this is my Earth, and I'm sure we're in the right Earth."
"And why I have to come along?" Judge Peckinpah required.
"Because we need you, Your Honor. Plus, you always want to visit this after I shared to you my true identity, remember?" Aggie reminded.
I did, didn't I?" The judge smiled embarrassingly as he forgot aboutnhis wish of visiting Aggie's home
Zeta looked around as she doesn't see this place familiar, "Hmm, where are we?"
"Oh, this is Mandog," Aggie replied.
"Mandog?"
"Maybe that sugarcane field over there may refresh your memory,"
When Aggie pointed the sugarcane field just a few feet away from the street of Brgy. Mandog, Zeta's memory just returned to her.
"Oh, I remember now! This is used to be part of the sugarcane field!" the purple eagle guessed.
"But they converted this part into a residential area!" Aggie exclaimed.
"Wait, there are sugarcanes here?!" a minion pig asked excitingly.
"If you think 'candy canes', that's different," Aggie started to explained, but she teleported away out sight, but teleported back with a bamboo stick on her hand, but it's not just a bamboo stick, "This is what we humans called 'sugarcane'. It looks like a bamboo stick, but when it was perfectly ripe…" she sliced the top of the stick with her lightsaber, peeling the skin of the stick, which reveal something white inside, and took a hard bite. When she kept chewing the sugarcane, she spit it out when it ran out of sweets, "That's how you eat it. Don't swallow it. You might get choke."
"But why would you spit it out if this is actually food?" Sil asked, taking the cane from Aggie.
"You see, Sil, biting the fibrous inner flesh of the sugarcane, called bagasse, will release the sweet flavor," Aggie discussed, "Once you have chewed the fibrous material and extracted all of its sweetness, spit out and dispose of it."
As she wanted to discover this new food herself, Silver took a bite on the white flesh of cane, and chewed on it. She could taste that sweet flavor, and spit out what was left, "You were right, Aggie. It is good."
"And over there...," Aggie pointed a small factory at the other side of the sugarcane field, "That is where they converted the sugarcane into something like brown sugar. Gooey one."
"Wow, Aggie, your home world is rich with natural resources," Garriy complimented.
"Well, also your islands, but the soil is not as rich as either of your islands. No offense," Aggie chuckled.
"None taken," Red, Leonard and Zeta said.
Just then, a human mother and son walked by, just spoted Aggie and the others.
"Mommy, mommy, look, it's Red and the whole flock!" the boy exclaimed.
Then, more human children appeared and got the flocks attention.
"Chuck, can I get your autograph?!"
"Bomb, you're my favorite!"
The children started to jump up and down around the birds, asking for autograph, saying good words to them, and adored them.
""Give me five there, Stella!"
"I have candy here if you like, Bubbles."
"You're awesome, Aggie!"
"Zoe, you're so cute!"
"Can you give me a ride, Mighty Eagle?"
The small birds, Mighty Eagle and Aggie blushed when the children adored them.
"Hey, can you give me a five, too?" Leonard handed a hoof to a human girl to get a high-five from her.
But the human girl was shocked as she gasped when she recognized Leonard, "A pig! Guys, it's a green pig!"
The other children gasped.
"I'll get 1000 points for this!" another human boy shouted as he took out his handy slingshot and a tiny stone, and he fired the stone from slingshot towards Leonard.
The stone just hit Leonard, which it sting his hoof a bit, "Ow! What the-?"
Then, the children started to pick up stick, "Get them!" they all charged at the pigs, and hammered them with the sticks.
Luckily for the pigs, the human children aren't so strong to hit them with the sticks, so they feel a little pain.
The birds and Aggie pulled the children away gentlt from hitting the pigs.
"Okay, okay, kids, stop!" Aggie told them as the children obeyed, "Don't worry, kids. They're harmless. We'll take care of them."
Then, the parents' children approached them and took their kids.
"I am so sorry, Ms. Galido," a human woman said.
"That's okay, miss. They're just helping, and they're kids," Stella giggled.
"Well, we'll see you around," Another human man said before the parents left off with their children.
After the humans left, the birds and Aggie helped thr pigs to get up.
"Sorry about that, you guys," Aggie apologized.
"Wow, you guys are popular here," Silver said.
"Well, we've been saving the day, serving people who are victims of natural disasters, and entertaining the humans from boredom and negative thoughts, the humans in this world, only the Philippines, appreciated everything what we have done, and they want to do something for us in return,"Matilda explained.
"And we appreciated how they support us," Roy added.
"But why would they hit us?" Courtney groaned from the small pain the kids hit her with sticks.
"Well, you pigs also have a reputation around here," Aggie blushed and admitted nervously, "They saw you as enemies of the birds… and me… and the whole I Team since Red and his group were part of the team.
"So, no one in this world knew about the truce?" Leonard questioned.
"Nope." Aggie answered.
"And no one knows about me yet?" Silver added as Aggie shook her head side-by-side, replying 'no'.
"Oh well, this means no one knows about what happen back in Magic Isl-" Jerry (eagle) was about to spill the beans, but Carl closed his beak, and their fellow eagle guards shushed him, reminding Jerry not to reveal the secret.
Zeta still looked around the area and noticed the changes that happen to her temporary home, "Wow, many things changed since I left."
"Well, you have a lot of things to catch up. Lot of things changed here. Just like Aunt Salome's house right here."
The winged human pointed a big house near them. The house is like a palace, only smaller, and the front garden is not as formal as the original rich places. There was also a small open hut that was suppose to be a very small gazebo at the side.
"Wow, Salome was so rich, huh?" Zeta stared at the house in awe.
"Actually, no. She and Uncle Vic like to save money, they have enough to upgrade their house anytime they want," Aggie explained, "Come on, guys," she pulled Zeta by the wing as the others followed.
Good thing that the house is big that the eagles can fit right in. When they made it to the door, Zeta was open to push it open as she placed her wing on the door, but she resisted.
"I don't think I can do this," she said nervously.
"Hey, I'll be right beside you, Zeta. Everything will be fine," Aggie held her adoptive aunt's wing firmly.
"And Mom," Debbie placed her wing on her mother's back, "We're all right behind you."
The rest of the birds, pigs and eagles nodded that they are here for Zeta to support her.
Zeta formed a smile on her beak as she turned back to the door. She and Aggie opened the door together, and they all entered the house.
At the high spiral staircase, there is Salome Mondejar-Lo standing at the landing platform with her husband, Vic Lo. The two don't look happy or excited, but they just looked stern at Aggie and her friends.
Zeta was a little bit scared when she saw one of her older sisters for the first time in many years. She looked down and looked away.
As they came forward, Aggie and Zeta were the only ones near the first step of the stairs, while the others were behind them.
Aggie silently grinned sheepishly as she was also nervous about this, "Sooo, Auntie Salome..."she also laughed nervously, "You'll never guess who's back! Actually, maybe you can guess, 'cause she's right here. But, um..."
But Salome still stared at them sternly.
"Am I helping?" Aggie whispered to Zeta as she still grinned nervously.
But Zeta wanted to face this consequence herself as she took a deep breath, and exhaled, "Salome, the last time we saw each other, I was your spoiled little sister who betrayed and abandoned our family."
"I wouldn't have said it that way!" Aggie cringed in panic, then cleared her throat, "What Aunt Zeta means to say is—"
But Zeta covered Aggie's mouth with her wing, keeping her quiet, and the eagle knelt down to beg in front of her sister, "I mean that I come before you a changed eagle, humbly asking for forgiveness, guidance, and acceptance."
Although she still looked stern, Salome walked down the stairs. Zeta is still taller than Salome, but the latter is still older than the former. Zeta watched her older sister approached her.
Aggie really cringed at this moment. It's almost the same as watching family drama movies. Mighty Eagle covered his eyes as he doesn't want to see what will happen, and thought it might be something bad. Debbie moved closer to her dad, and closed her eyes too. And the rest just moved a little backward, ready for something dramatic.
Since she didn't receive any respond from her sister, Zeta broke the silence in the room, and closed her eyes in guilt, "Or I can just go, and you never have to see me again."
But all of a sudden, Salome gently held Zeta's wing, which made the purple eagle open her eyes, and look at her human adoptive sister.
Salome then turned her face to a warm welcome smile, "I've missed you, little sister Zeta."
Those words made the other birds, pigs, eagle and Aggie snapped from the intense feeling to happiness as they all sighed softly in relief.
Zeta was speechless, but she's happy that one of her sisters missed her so much after all these years, "I... I'm so sorry."
Salome and Zeta hugged for the first time in many years of not seeing each other. Zeta almost shed a tear while hugging Salome as they pulled away from the hug.
Zeta's family and friends behind were smiling at this heartwarming moment. Even Aggie was extremely happy for this.
"Eeeee!" she squealed in excitement.
Later, Salome and her housekeeper made food for the guests as the birds, pigs and eagles enjoyed digging in. Leo and Bernadette arrived a little late after taking Leslie in Carpenter School.
Ella took a bit from a mudfish on a stick, "Hmm-mm, these mudfishes are delicious."
"Aggie's family have their own taste for seafood, even these shrimps," Chuck explained, eating one of the shrimps from a plate.
"Though these dishes are old traditions, this bok choy and potato soup taste delicious," Axel commented.
"I simply cannot believe how tall you've gotten!" Salome exclaimed at the table with Zeta, Aggie, and Bernadette.
Zeta blushed at that compliment, "Well, it's been many years. I couldn't even get back home if it weren't for Agatha. If she didn't come to my home world, well, I wouldn't come back to you guys."
"Mama and Papa were so worried about you after you left. And they never stop thinking about you before they died," Salome held Zeta's wings, trying to comfort the eagle about their parents' passing.
"I wish I catch up with them sooner," Zeta frowned.
"Hey, at least, you still have time to see the rest of our sisters," Bernadette said.
"Anunciasion, Rosario, Encarnasion, and Dolores will be very happy to see you… or not so happy for Dolores. You know how she is," Salome reminded about their other older sister.
"Yeah. I remember how she was," Zeta rolled her eyes, "I really want to see the rest of our sisters."
"Well, I have an idea how we can surprise them," Aggie said, then called Courtney, "Courtney, can I borrow your phone for a bit?!"
"Uh, sure," Courtney left the table, and handed her cellphone to Aggie, "What do you need that for?"
"Something to surprise my other aunts," Aggie smirked.
Well, this is gonna be a heartwarming family reunion. There are few references in this chapter.
When Aggie got angry and have a tantrum, the floor and walls of Leonard's throne room started to shake and crack, which is similar to Steven Universe Future.
The part where one of the human children mentioned "1000 points" for hitting a pig is similar to the original game of Angry Birds. When the pigs popped, the player will earn 1000 points or higher.
And the part where Zeta and Salome reunited with Aggie supporting is similar to Equestria Girls: Forgotten Friendship.
This chapter also shows the natural resources of the Philippines, like sugarcane, mudfish on a stick, and flavorful vegetable soup.
