The house rocked with a minor explosion, an acrid smell drifting down the stairs.
"YES!" was the dual shout from the second floor
It sounded triumphant. That usually wasn't a good thing. Especially this summer with all the … creating going on.
Bill looked up at the ceiling then back down at his paper. Coming home was always interesting.
"Not it!" he said quickly.
His mother tutted and shook her head with a heavy sigh. Bill hid a smirk. There were two sets of footsteps on the stairs.
"Hello!"
"Mother, William,"
The twins swanned into the kitchen grinning identically. Great.s
"Isn't it a-"
"-marvellous day?" they chorused.
"The sun is shining-"
"-birds are chirping-"
"And it smells like death," Bill finished with folded arms.
They just grinned at him.
"What's a bit of death on such a wonderful day?" asked Fred.
"Especially when everything's right in the world?" added George.
He took note of the look of pride and triumph on their faces. It was unnerving.
Nope, he didn't have to deal with this anymore.
"I'll, uh, get that bread you need, mum," he said and quickly left the next explosion zone.
"Fred, George, what on earth did you do?!"
