(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 in a massive cobweb - and she was wrapped up in a cocoon made of her own silk.) Mindy: "Hey, Vanessa!" (Mindy looked completely calm, despite the fact she was in a web. I was shocked a little.) Vanessa: "Mindy?! What happened? Is this your silk?" Mindy: "Yes, it is. I just underwent parthenogenesis - and my son's ready to be born."

Vanessa: "Parthenogenesis? You can reproduce without a mate?" Mindy: "Yes, it's a rare ability among spiders. But I need your help. Can you cut me out of this cocoon? My son needs to be born soon." Vanessa: "Of course, let me grab my mandibles." (I carefully cut away at the cocoon with my mandibles until Mindy was free. She then carefully revealed a small egg sac, which she placed in the safety of the web.) Mindy: "Thank you, Vanessa. I couldn't have done it without you. Now we just wait for my son to hatch." Vanessa: "I'm glad I could help. And I can't wait to meet your son. (Moments later, the egg sac hatched - and small spiderlings came out. Mindy beamed with pride as she watched over them.) Mindy: "Welcome to the world, my little ones." (Vanessa watched on, glad to see her sister and her new family safe and sound. After all, family is family - no matter how many legs they may have.)
