Able Sisters - Raining
Sable watches as a customer leaves the store, Mabel is absent as she is at Labelle's side of the store for a break and wanting to talk to her sister.
Sable
Thanks for coming.
Sable is focusing on fixing a dress due to Mabel ripping it on accident yesterday by stitching the ripped part of the dress which is the left sleeve, eventually, Mabel comes back from her break, looking happy.
Mabel
Sister, i'm back from seeing Labelle, she was talking about how she got a crown yesterday and that she's going to put it on sale tomorrow, I hope she gets a lot of money since she's working so hard lately.
Sable
So has all of us Mabel, like me right now.
Mabel
Oh, are you sure you don't want help?
Sable
No, it's fine, i'm almost done fixing this sleeve, then I can stitch the other clothes that were ripped weeks ago.
Mabel
Oh, you know, i'm happy Labelles back.
Sable
Hmm?
Mabel
It's just that ever since she left for the city that one time, I missed her ever since and I always thought she wasn't going to come back or even forgot about us, but she didn't she still cares about us sister and i'm happy that she's working with us now.
Sable
...
Mabel
Is something wrong Dearest Sister?
Sable
It's fine, i'm just focusing on this slee---
Sable accidentally misses the last stitch that she needs to add for the sleeve and has trouble adding it, she starts to grow frustrated until Mabel runs over to her and helps her.
Mabel
Here, let me help!
Sable
No, it's fine re---
However Mabel quickly adds the last stitch on the sleeve, fixing it and finishing the job for Sable, surprising her, Sable rubs her head, embarrassed that she messed up a simple job.
Sable
Sorry sis, I could usually do these things.
Mabel
It's fine, you're just so caught up with work that you're starting to get stressed, why don't you take the rest of the day off?
Sable
I can't do that, I need to finish my sewing.
Mabel
I can do it, besides Mom and Dad taught all three of us how to sew.
Sable
Yeah, mom and Dad, too bad Labelle never uses her sewing skills on anything.
Mabel
Well, it's because she's busy selling jewelry now.
Sable sits up and lets Mabel sit on her chair, Mabel begins sewing together a tie that was ripped in half, just then someone knocks on the Able's sister door, surprising the two.
Sable
That's strange, nobody ever knocks, they just come in, it is a store after all.
Mabel
I wonder why?
Sable walks over to the door and opens it, the rain is falling heavily, however Sable looks down and notices a bento box with a tag tied on it, she bends down and picks it up before closing the door behind her.
Mabel
What is it?
Sable
It's a bento box.
(Reads tag)
From Tom Nook.
Mabel
Tom Nook, I didn't know he eats that kind of stuff?
Sable
Actually, I do, I guess he thought I was hungry.
Labelle (Voice)
Sable!
Mabel & Sable
Huh?
Mabel & Sable turn towards the hall leading into Labelle's side of the store, Labelle appears holding a small box and is surprised to see Mabel sitting by Sable's spot.
Labelle
Mabel, why are you sitting at Sable's corner?
Mabel
Oh, she's taking the rest of the day off, she was getting stressed.
Sable
Yeah...
Labelle
Anyway, I wanted to give you this sis.
Sable
Sis?
Labelle
Yeah, I know, I haven't said that since...You know.
Sable
Mom and Dad?
Labelle nods and gives Sable the box.
Labelle
It was the last one in stock and I decided that you should have it, well I need to run back now, i'm having a sale and despite the rain, I think people are going to come any second.
Labelle turns and walks back towards her side of the store, but before she does she waves at Mabel & Sable.
Labelle
Bye!
Mabel & Sable
Seeya Labelle!
Sable opens the small box and is surprised at what's inside a locket that contains an old family photo of Sable, Mabel, Labelle & there parents she smiles, looking at the hall as Mabel notices.
Mabel
Sable, your smiling, it's been awhile.
Sable
Because I have two great sisters.
Thank you for this locket, Dearest Sister.
