[July 18th, 1982] Sunday (10 am in the morning) -
“Alright girls! Make sure to eat all your breekie! We leave in a few minutes, for church. You know how I want us to get there early.” Olga said hastily, while downing the plate of eggs and sausages, before her. She covered herself with a tablecloth over her neckline, so as not to get her floral modest church dress.
"We know." Both twins said flatly in unison, already finished with their breakfast. Both Sandy and Daisy were neatly dressed in such nice clothes for mass. Both twins got up from the dining table, taking their plates to the kitchen to clean them. Olga stops them from their tracks, and tells them in a polite-like way.
"Oh, girls — if you're done, just leave your plates on the table. I'd hate to have both of your dresses being left wet and filthy. Evie will take care of those for you — won't you Evie, it is your job after all? I mean, it's the least you could do. After all, I work very hard, providing for your lazy arse to stay at home all day." She told Lila, as she was washing the pans and utensils from earlier as well as the mountains of dirty dishes that had been in Olga's room, almost for a while now. Still having some mold as well as some sprouts on them, hinting that a few of the dirty dishes hadn't been washed for almost a month now.
"Oh yeah — how could I forget that I do all the cleaning, cooking and all the housework. While you hardly show up for work, and always watching tv all day, and bringing people over. Than taking care of your own kids, which is also the other thing I do — taking care of my own little sisters. Yeah, I'm clearly the lazy one." Lila mumbled a sarcastic reply, as she rolled her eyes at the obnoxious thought of what Olga stated. Luckily, Olga didn't hear what she said; since she mostly mumbled. Besides, Lila just wanted to focus on cleaning, then have Olga angry and violent so early in the morning. She also didn't want her sisters to witness such an act either, and just wanted them to just head to mass without all this drama.
Both Sandy and Daisy didn't feel that their older sister should clean their plates for them, and wanted to lessen her workload; since they knew that she had a lot to do today — while they were away for mass. But both wanted to ask Olga if they should stay to help their sister out. Both not sure what would happen if they did though. But they went ahead to ask.
"Um... actually. We thought that maybe we should stay and-" Both twins uttered nervously in unison, Olga immediately interrupted them; the moment they mentioned that they didn't want to attend church.
"Excuse me!?!" She snarled at the two, while glaring at the twins. As if a predator was looking down on its prey. The girls quivered in fear, and were left speechless. "Do you two not want to enter the temple of God? Do you two want to stay here with that fucking witch, so that you could rot and burn in the pits of hell?!?" Olga exclaimed, scaring both Sandy and Daisy — not letting the two talk even once.
"N-no,... we just-" Both Sandy and Daisy choked on their words, not knowing what to say. Luckily Lila spoke for them. "It's okay Olga. Sandy and Daisy just wanted to stay home today, is all."
"Who the fuck asked you? Take these plates back to the kitchen and get back to your chores. And you two, are coming with me to church — whether you both like it or not." Olga barked at Lila and argued with both twins.
"O-okay *Sniff!*" Both Sandy and Daisy weeped, while both nodded.
Lila went over to the table, to fetch the empty plates. Olga immediately plants her already finished plate on top of the other plates that Lila was carrying. Olga shooed her away, gesturing with her hand — telling her to leave and head back to the kitchen. Lila rolled her eyes and made a 'face' at Olga, as she made her way back to the kitchen, to clean Olga's and her twin sister's dishes. Olga didn't notice Lila making a face and rolling her eyes at her, but her sisters did — both of them lightly snickered at the scene, and were getting a bit better from Olga's outburst.
Olga wondered as she looked at the giggling tear eyed twins, of what was so funny? But both twins shook their heads in unison, both telling her that it was nothing.
Lila finished washing her sisters dishes, and left them by the counter to dry. Then she heard Olga and her sisters leave as they got up from the table and headed straight to the door. But before heading out, Olga bragged to the two girls on how she got paid for her job at work and that once mass was over, she will be taking her and the girls to some place to eat something very delicious. The twins wanted Lila to go as well, and asked Olga if she could join them. But Olga immediately told the girls that she couldn't, since she was very busy and that they were running late, and that they should hurry for mass. Simply ignoring what they said, she tells the two to head outside.
Once they were finally gone, Lila sighed, rolled her eyes and went back to the kitchen to wash Olga's dirty plate as well as the rest of the dishes.
While she washed Olga's dirty plate, and set it aside to dry along with the other recently washed plates. She exhaled heavily as she saw the amounts of molded covered dishes; inside the soapy; yet dirty waters of the sink tub. Not wanting to even touch the plates, but knew that she had to clean them, and get everything done and over with — to get started on her other chores. So she took a deep breath and reached out to grab a plate. But before reaching inside the soapy-dirty waters for a plate — one of the dishes inside the sink tub, began to float in mid air. And then a couple of them began to float, above the waters. Then the sponge that she used and set aside began to float as well, and began scrubbing onto the dirty plates. She sighed in relief, as she didn't have to touch any dirty dishes. She watched as the dirty dishes were being scrubbed — with a flick of her wrist, she turned on the kitchen faucet. And with another flick, she hovered the plate towards the running water, to rinse the plates and hovering them towards the cleaned plates to dry. She did this, while she cleaned the kitchen counter and while taking a bite of an apple. As it was the only thing she had for breakfast — since she had to get all the house chores done for the day.

While Lila was at home, working on her chores. Olga as well as Sandy and Daisy walked about a couple of blocks to attend church. Which resided by the twins' school as well as the restaurant that Lila and the twins went to when they were very young; a restaurant that went by the name ‘The Lilacs’. The twins were only a year old, and had only gone once — Lila was only six years old. The three were accompanied by both Sebastian, as well as nicer and motherly Olga. But those were years ago, things had changed since then — after Sebastian’s disappearance, Olga too had changed, as she became cruel and bitter. Entirely different from the person the three once knew and loved. Lila was pulled from the school that was closest to her home, and was kept in doors ever sense. Olga also visited the restaurant, mainly to drink at the bar. But had been banned ever since she became extremely drunk and injured the manager as well as the hostess.
Olga had to walk to church on Sundays now, have the twins walk themselves to school and call for a cab for work now; since she was forced to sell her old small vehicle. To pay half of the mortgage as well as other expenses. On which Olga always found an excuse to blame Lila for not having a car to drive herself and the twins to places anymore, and complain that she had to pay more on driving expenses now that she doesn’t have a vehicle.

Somewhere by 11:01 pm, mass was finally over. Sandy and Daisy mostly dozed off the entire time, while Olga kept praying to herself of the usual things she mostly prayed about as well as listen to the pastor of forgiveness, and family. Something Olga is far from ever doing or achieving some things in life.
As they were outside the church, Olga turned to the girls of what they felt like eating, as well as if they had a mind on what where they wanted to eat? But the twins looked a little worried, and wondered if they could afford to eat out — given the fact that Olga hardly went to work, and were both puzzled on how her workplace even provided her a raise, since she's rarely present at work. Or what kind of a work place did she work for, that offers her money even in her long absence? Sandy and Daisy rather not ask her, since they somehow knew that she would just change the topic, or take it out on Lila for no ill reason. Both not wanting to take on the risk, so both of them kept silent about it.
Olga was growing a little frustrated and impatient with the twins not deciding where to eat. So she huffed out in annoyance, and suggested to the twins that she knew of this one place somewhere in London that served the best 'Coronation Chicken'.
Before she went to a nearby payphone, to phone a cab to pick her and the girls up to drive them to London. She searches inside her purse to insert some pounds and pennies, and realizes what she forgot to pack inside her purse before leaving the house.

Lila was finished sweeping up the kitchen, as well as the living room area, as well as dusting the shelves and a few other things around the house. Now, all she had to do was start mopping the kitchen floors, and so she headed back towards the sink to see the progress of the dishwashing. Only four plates left to clean. And Lila smiled that she was able to finish cleaning everything else downstairs; including the kitchen much faster now that was able to use magic. And thought that maybe she should use magic more frequently whenever she needed a little help on her chores. As she went back to mopping the kitchen floors, she heard the front door shut — immediately making her jump, as she wasn't expecting anyone to be home this early.
Not even Olga, even if she sometimes ditches work to come home early — still, she was never this early.
As she peeks out the side of the kitchen room door, to see who it might be — and she was surprised to see that it was actually Olga. Then she sees her making her way to where she was in the kitchen. Lila looks at the sink area and sees that there were only two plates floating in mid air as well as a soaked sudsy sponge. She quickly sets the mop aside, and rushes towards the sink to stop it from floating. Almost slipping from the freshly wet-cleaned floor, she quickly grabs ahold of both sponge and cleaned plate, while the other plate keeps floating in mid air. Lila tried forcing the plate down the sink water, as it was being stubborn to not obey her. She finally dumps the plate in, while almost dropping the one cleaned plate she had in her hand as it was a little slippery.
Olga enters the kitchen, and looks at Lila. Giving her the suspicion of what she was doing just now; since Lila looked a little flustered, as well as a little winded — the moment she heard her walking to the kitchen and by pushing the stubborn plate inside the sink. Lila sets aside the plate she had in her hand to dry with the others, as she pulls out the plate she just shoved in the sink — to look busy cleaning the dishes.
Olga knew something seemed rather suspicious, but couldn't put her finger on it. And as soon as she was about to say something, question her odd behavior as well as her need to feel a little flustered. But as Olga took one step on the kitchen tile floor, she nearly slipped — but was lucky enough to hold on the sides of the door, so that she wouldn't tumble over.
She wondered why the kitchen's tile floor was wet, but then she noticed the mop that Lila put aside just now. She then turns her attention back to Lila, and yells at her as she slowly gets up.
"Damn it! You stupid bitch! At least tell me that you just mopped! I could've slipped and broken my neck! — you stupid daft bimbo!?!" She barked at Lila with cruel insults — instead of charging at her, she just yelled at her from across the where she stood to where Lila was standing.
Instead of losing her own character and letting it get the best of her. Lila simply bit her inner lip, took a deep breath and decided to keep herself calm. Since she didn't want to cause any sort of incident, as she felt that she might set her powers off with her anger and mixed up emotions somehow.
"I'm sorry... I rushed back to the sink to finish cleaning the hard-covered mold off your dirty plates. That I completely forgot about the freshly mopped; lemon-scented floor, which can be very noticeable for someone to immediately know that someone just mopped and so the floor is going to be wet. So I apologize for not saying anything just now, and that you didn't take the time to stop and look before coming into the kitchen."
Lila said flatly, her mouth in a straight line.
Olga glared at her with anger, and was heated that she had the absolute nerve to talk back to her like that. And before saying anything to her for her remark. Olga looks at the clock above the left side of the sink; that was on the display on the kitchen wall, and notices the time and remembers why she came back home in the first place. Instead of arguing, as well as going towards Lila to beat her. She started looking around the kitchen from where she stood, as she didn't want to slip. But as she looked; she sighed heavily, with a disappointed look on her face, then quickly hurried to the dining table. And after a moment later, she sighs in relief as she immediately found what she was looking for. "Blasted, almost called a cab and went to the restaurant without my wallet." She hissed, as she sped through the living room, walking to the door.
She then tells Lila before heading out. "Consider yourself lucky that you got off without a beating, for being cheek with me. Or else I would've been late for work." Lila didn't say anything, but simply nodded a reply. "Make sure to clean all — the bathrooms. And be sure to make mine spotless." By the end of her sentence, she shut the door behind her, later leaving the neighborhood with the girls.
Lila exhaled heavily, the moment Olga left. Almost stumbling over to the kitchen counter to what just happened, as she thought that she was going to be caught right then and there. But was glad that she wasn't, otherwise she'd be in big trouble — or worse. Aside from being caught, she was also a little proud of herself for standing up to Olga, without backing down. But also fears that she won't be as lucky again the next time something like this might happen, and thinks that it's probably best to not use magic for a while now.
