Being Blamed

M!Shep/Kasumi

Miranda

Miranda sighed as her office doors closed behind her; her command mask falling. While the Collectors were gone, Shepard seemed to be picking more and more fights lately - God only knows why. With a sigh, she stripped her uniform and went to the shower.

The hot water had felt good on her sore muscles, but she felt herself growing tired with each passing minute. She knew she should write a report, but her mind could barely focus. Making up her mind, she turned to the water off and stepped out of the shower, wanting to go to sleep as soon as possible.

She hadn't been in the shower long, so the bathroom mirror wasn't fogged up enough to completely obscure her reflection. She blinked once, then twice.

Her hair was blonde.

"Shepard!"

Tali

Tali hummed quietly, although Engineering was completely empty. Ken and Gabby were off for the night, leaving Tali by herself - although she would go to bed here, soon.

Making her way through the lines of subroutine, she tried to find the reason why the engine sequence was slightly off. It had been like that since they had come from the Omega 4 relay, and she still couldn't figure out why.

The screen froze for a moment, before going completely black. Tali's hands paused in mid-air, surprise easily showing.

"What the…"

A small figure illuminated the screen, a very recognizable one. "Sorry, I cannot help you. The galaxy is at stake, and you should fix the problem yourself."

Tali growled. "Shepard!"

Samara

"Should we?"

"Would it be a good idea?"

A pause. "Let's try someone else."

Legion and Chakwas

Doctor Chakwas absentmindedly reached over for a bio-container, only looking up when her hand touched an empty counter. Looking around her, she found she had used to last one up. Sighing, she got up and made her way to Legion's room, where she stored a few.

The door swooshed open and she paused, her brain trying to comprehend what she was seeing: Legion, dancing.

"Legion, what are you doing?"

"I do not know."

Chakwas sighed and pinched the bridge of her nose. "Shepard!"

Joker

"Hey EDI, it's your move."

There was a huff. "Jeff, I don't want to play anymore."

Joker blinked and looked at EDI's avatar. "EDI?"

"Why can't we do something fun, like shopping?"

This was just too weird. "EDI, are you feeling okay?"

"I am fine Jeff, why must you always worry?"

There was only three people on this ship who could pull something like this off, and only one would actually do it. "Shepard!"

Shepard and Kasumi

Shepard turned off his clock, Kasumi not two seconds behind. He looked at her and scowled. "Why am I always getting blamed?"

Kasumi giggled. "Because they believe I steal, not pull pranks."

Shepard scowled and crossed his arms. "I hate you."

Kasumi laughed before giving him a quick kiss. "Love you too." With that, she disappeared.
