The two stood before her grubby faced with clothes asunder, each with their head bowed and fingers knotted into fists.  Each set of light-coloured eyes glared down at the feet to which they belonged, as if willing the floor to bow to their collective anger.  The marble paid no heed, and simply threw their petulant faces back up at them in a hazy mirror.

Serenity shook her head slowly and forced the smile from her lips.  The situation wasn't funny, especially with Baron Vodker standing not too far away with a scowl fit to scare Hades, except that it undoubtedly was.  She cleared her throat, hiding another twitch of her lips behind her fingers, and then lifted her chin.  "So.  What do you two have to say for yourselves?"

Zoicite's chin snapped up along with a finger pointing to the girl at his right.  "She did it."

"I did not!" Mars shrieked, and the knuckles of her fists went white.  Her blazing eyes turned up toward the queen, "It was all him, I swear it!"

"Like anyone would take your word, hot head!"

"Of course she will, I'm a Senshi!"

"Yeah, well, I'm a Shittenou!"

"So? Who cares about icky old Endymion anyway!"

"Better than a whiny princess," Zoisite huffed and crossed his arms.  Serenity arched a brow and then the boy went pale.  "I.. er.. Uh... That is."

"Hah," Mars snickered, "Stuck your foot in it now."

"But I didn't do anything!" He threw his hands into the air.  Then, with a wild gesture at the princess, he turned pleading eyes to the queen, "It was fire, so it obviously was her!"

"Was not!" Mars protested with a stomp of her foot.

"Children," Serenity interjected.  When they'd both looked at her, Serenity smiled softly, "Please.  Just tell me who burnt down the Baron's doghouse."

They fidgeted a moment, each with a lip jutted out and scowling.  She wondered if they knew how alike they looked in that moment, despite opposing colour pallets.  And then they looked at one another.  Serenity's brow arched as similar smiles stretched across both their faces.

Together, the two imps looked up at their queen.  "The dog did it."
