"ACHERON! STYXX!" Tory and Bethany yelled in unison, their voices carrying over the entirety of kateros.

"Woe," Ash started.

"and Hate," Styxx continued

"Reporting for duty!" they said together in a sing-song voice they'd picked up from watching Disney's Hercules. But their smiles were disintegrated from their faces as they met the wrathful gazes of their wives, one of which was the goddess of wrath. They gulped in unison.

What did we do? ~ Styxx

Hell if I know ~ Ash

Don't tell me Beth knows I hid her excessive collection of shoes ~ Styxx

Tell me you didn't, adelphos ~ Ash

They were everywhere, tripping me up in the dark ~ Styxx

You never mess with a woman's shoe collection if you value your life, brother! ~ Ash

How was I supposed to know she'd get mad ~ Styxx

"Enough!" Tory yelled, silencing their thoughts.

"Which one of you would like to tell us what you fed the kids while we were out?" Beth asked with ire in her voice.

SHIT! ~ Styxx

We're doomed! ~ Ash

What do we say? ~ Styxx

The truth ~ Ash

Styxx snorted ~ Like that's ever save our asses

"Hey Mom, Dad, Boss, Tory. What's -" Urian stopped dead as the women glared at him, "Ah, not a great time I see, I'll just be going. Later people." He squeaked as he vanished out of kateros.

This is your fault ~ Styxx ~ Told you not to give them ice-cream

Did you see Theron's face? I couldn't refuse ~ Ash

I know, Ari made the same face and I melted faster than any ice-cream we could have given them ~ Styxx

I guess its time to blubber like fools and pray to the gods we're married to for forgiveness ~ Ash

"We're sorry, we didn't mean to, we we're going watch a film and give them carrot sticks and celery." Styxx started.

Ash continued likewise, "But the kids wanted ice-cream, you should have seen their faces, I couldn't deny them, it was too hard to resist!"

"We swore to spoil them, we were just keeping our word, they're our weakness. We're sorry, please don't make us sleep on the couch, we won't survive the night." Styxx cried adding more drama.

Hey, hey, hey, don't give them ideas ~ Ash

"Please, please, please, please, please, please," they wailed united.

Tory and Beth looked at their partners and each other and sighed.

"What are we going to do with them?" Beth asked as they continued wailing.

"Love us!" Styxx interjected.

"Forgive us!" Ash added.

"Please, please, please, please, please, please," they began again.

They sighed again.

"You take yours and I'll take mine-" Tory started as she reached for Ash's arm.

"- And we'll see you at dinner," Beth finished reaching for her identically hysterical husband.
