(I explored the Lush Cave we called home, wondering where my older sister is. Sure, I may be a Cave Spider and my older sister is a regular Spider, but we're still sisters nonetheless. Then, I notice her lying down in a massive cobweb - and she was looking at her belly.) Mindy: "Hey, Vanessa." (Mindy looked worried, and I was shocked a little.) Mindy: "Something's wrong with my belly...I think...I'm getting pregnant!" (I looked on in shock as Mindy's belly got a little bigger.) Mindy: "See? I'm undergoing parthenogenesis!" (I didn't know what that meant, but I could tell it was serious by the fear in Mindy's voice.) Vanessa: "Partheno-what?" Mindy: "Parthenogenesis. It's a type of asexual reproduction where females can produce offspring without the need for fertilization from a male. Even though this process normally only produces sons, I modified our genetic make up so there's a chance for daughters to be born as well."

(I was still shocked, but I knew I had to help my sister.) Vanessa: "Is there anything I can do to help?" (Mindy looked up at me with tears in her eyes.) Mindy: "I need you to gather some moss and webbing so I can make a nest for my offspring. And I need you to help protect me while I lay my eggs." (I nodded my head, determined to help my sister in any way I could.) Vanessa: "I'll do anything to help you, Mindy." (Mindy smiled weakly, grateful to have me as her sister.) Mindy: "Thank you, Vanessa. You're the best sister a spider could ask for." (I quickly gathered the moss and webbing, creating a cozy nest for Mindy to lay her eggs. I stood guard, making sure no predators tried to disturb her.) Mindy: "It's time." (I watched as Mindy laid her eggs, tears streaming down her face.) Vanessa: "You're doing great, Mindy. I'm so proud of you." (After a few hours, Mindy had laid all of her eggs and we both sat in the nest, admiring her offspring.) Mindy: "Thank you for helping me, Vanessa. I don't know what I would do without you." Vanessa: "That's what sisters are for." (And in that moment, I knew that no matter what happened, I would always be there for my sister.)
