"May lindol ba, Envy?" Greed ran a hand through his messy hair. Isang pilyong ngiti ang kumawala sa kanyang mga labi, "Teka, nasaan si Lust? Hahaha! Baka umuuga lang na naman 'yong kama niya."

Envy's eyes sparkled with naughtiness, "Hahaha! Magnitude 69 na naman, Greed! Oh, how unfortunate of us to experience this earthquake!"

"GUGUHO NA ANG MANSYON!"

"DUCK, CONDOM, AND HOLD! HAHAHAHA!"

"Grrr! MGA GAGO!" Biglang sumulpot si Lust sa likod ng kambal sabay batok sa mga ito. The Prince of desire's eyes glared daggers at the twins as he huffed, "I've had special charms  protect my private space. You wouldn't even feel anything if there's an exclusive event inside my Pleasure Room."

Napangiwi ang lahat nang banggitin ni Lust ang kanyang "Pleasure Room".

Humikab si Sloth, "'Exclusive event', really? How immature. Sana ginawa mo na ring soundproof, so that I can sleep in peace whenever you're moaning Snow's name, you fucking sex addict." A hint of venom dripped his tone.

Napanganga ang kambal sa sinabi ng nakababata nilang kapatid. Napalingon ang lahat sa binata. Lust's face reddened in embarrassment. "H-Hindi ah! What in the name of banana-flavored condoms?! D-Dirty bastards! That's not true! I-I was...um..." Sunud-sunod na palusot na ang dinadaldal niya na agad namang ikinairita nina Pride at Wrath.

"Stop this nonsense at once! Narito tayo para sa magpulong, hindi para mag-asaran." The eldest sin had stoic expression but his eyes were murderous.

Wrath cursed under his breath. Bigla na lang siyang umalis. Agad naman siyang pinigilan ni Gluttony habang ngumunguya pa ng potato chips, "Where are you off to, brother?" He asked with his mouth full.

"Torture Room. Kunin ko lang 'yong chainsaw."

Namutla si Lust sa sinabi ng kapatid.

The twins grinned, "Tulungan ka namin, Wrath!" Chorus pa nilang sabi.

"What the fuck?! Patay talaga kayo sa'kin!"

"HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"

Napahimas na lang ng sentido si Pride. He muttered something along the lines of "bakit ba ako nagkaroon ng mga kapatid?" and retreated into the meeting room.

Natigil lang ang kaguluhan ng magkakapatid nang mapansin ni Sloth ang posisyon nina Snow at Chandresh. The prince of laziness' dark eyes bore into hers. 'He really looks like an angel,' the maiden noted when he smiled lazily at her. Isang matalim na tingin naman ang ipinukol ng prinsipe sa kapatid, "You can let go of her now, Adoration. This isn't the time to be flirting with our bride."

Chandresh rolled his eyes and helped Snow on her feet.

"Damn Sloth." He murmured as he entered the Conference Room.

Inayos naman ni Snow ang kanyang damit at sumunod na rin sa kanila. When she passed by Sloth, she noted the pillow in his hand. Naaaliw niya itong binati, "Still sleepy, Sloth?" Bahagyang magulo pa ang buhok nito at hindi pa maayos ang pagkakabutones ng kanyang pajama top.

Sloth's smile almost made her heart skipped a beat. "I'm always like this, angel. You should know that by now."

Nang makaupo na silang lahat sa pabilog na mesa ng Conference Room, Snow White noticed the sudden shift in their mood. Mula sa pagiging pilyo at maloko, naging seryoso ang ekspresyon ng magkakapatid nang ipatong ni Pride ang isang liham sa kanilang harapan. Snow felt uncomfortable with the atmosphere. Kinalabit niya si Envy na mukhang malalim rin ang iniisip, "Anong meron?"

Envy's expression didn't change. He sighed and briefly explained, "May natanggap kaming sulat kaninang umaga."

Lalong naguluhan ang dalaga. "Um.. anong masama roon?"
