Palutena was examining the evidence. "What do you think, Pittoo?"

"Um… Pittoo?"

Dark Pit was staring. Broken.

Suddenly, Ruby seemed to appear in the story. "I KNEW IT!" She exclaimed. "You broke Darky too! Wait till I get to Viridi!"

With Pit and Viridi…

"OW!" Viridi said. "Who hit me?"

"You unbreak Pit! Now!"

"Um… who is this?" Viridi questioned.

"Oh." Pit said, snapping out of his trance. "This is RubyDarknessAngel. She seems to review pretty often, and likes to pretend to be in the story. So, I've taken the liberty of personally inviting her to join in."

"Oh…" said Viridi. "Well, Pit seems fine now, so you've done your job. Now not to be rude, but… go home."

With Palutena and Dark Pit…

Dark Pit came out of his trance.

"Um… Pittoo? Are you ready to help me now?"

"Oh. Um, sure. What do we have here?"

Palutena had examined the button for any fingerprints, but with no results. She also had no idea what the inscription meant. She had performed an autopsy on the snake, but it seemed to disintegrate as soon as she cut its skin.

"This sure is strange… We have very vague evidence, and nowhere to start from?"

"This is stupid!" said Dark Pit. "We should wait for Pit and Viridi to come back with their evidence. I'm sure they will give us more clues. We have nothing to work with here!"

"Good idea. I wonder If Viridi and Pit found any new evidence."

Pit and Viridi were actually in the middle of making out.

"I… I can't believe you meant everything you said… It was very nice." Pit smiled.

"Yeah, well, you know." Viridi shrugged. "I take it you don't think this is a mistake anymore. Huh?"

"I don't know Viridi. I mean, we're going to have to tell Lady Palutena and Pittoo."

"So?" She asked.

"So? So Palutena would never approve of this, and Pittoo will just constantly ridicule us."

"Who cares about Pittoo? He will ridicule people no matter what. But you have a point about Palutena. Yeah, she will be such a pain…"

"Man… I've never done something Lady Palutena wouldn't approve of. I'm just too nervous."

"Don't worry, Pit. Trust me, we can figure something out."

"Okay." He said. "I trust you."

"Um… so we should probably start looking now" Viridi said.

"Looking for what?" asked Pit.

"The evidence?" said Viridi.

"Oh, right, right. Sorry, I forgot."

"Pit, it's okay. You don't have to be this nervous, okay? I won't mention any of this to the others… yet."

"Okay." He said. "Um, let's start looking."

"Uh… you see anything?" Viridi asked.

"Nope. Let's go back."

Pit and Viridi went back to Palutena's lair.

"Oh, good, you're back. Find anything?" Palutena asked.

"Um… no" said Pit.

"DAMN IT!" said Dark Pit. " We were counting on you for new evidence! You couldn't find anything?!"

"We can't determine anything with this evidence we have here." Palutena said.

"Well…" Viridi said. "The inscription obviously seems to be written in a Caeser shift of four letters. When you translate it, it says 'MEDUSA'"

"Yeah." Pit said. "And the snake is obviously one that fell from her hair. I guess it can't survive on its own, so it died."

Dark Pit and Palutena stood there, astonished.

"How did you find that out so fast?" Palutena asked.

"Well," said Pit. "Look at the category of this fic. It's categorized as Humor/Romance. Not Mystery. If we kept this evidence unsolved for more than 2 chapters, It would feel like a mystery tale, which is not the author's intention. Someone had to solve it." Pit shrugged.

"Yeah, and since you two were too stupid to figure it out, we-"

Viridi was met with a pie in her face, courtesy of Palutena.

"Once she gets the pie off of her," Pittoo said, "We should find Medusa, and see what she has to do with all this."

Everyone set off to Medusa's lair.

"Ah," Poseidon said from inside his castle. "I have finished my bath. Let me check on The boys' progress."

He saw that no one was there, and figured that Pit and Pittoo were successful.

"Ah, wonderful." He said. "Squire, please bring my a vanilla sundae with chocolate frosting on top. And do not lick it off this time!"
