An Afternoon with the Twins
A ficlet featuring Apollo Kennedy and Syah Harwell


“Duh duh duh, dum de dum de dum duh da..”

The sound of singing lured Apollo Kennedy from the kitchen, the nineteen year old was covered from head to toe in flour, there were even smudges of the white substance on his cheek.

He walked down the hall, leaving a trail of white footprints in his wake, he made a right into the living room, where he found his twin, Syah, dancing around an Umbrella, she was humming a tune from an old Muggle movie.

She flipped the umbrella up into her hand and spun around the room with it out in front of her.

“What in Merlin’s green left sock are you doing Sy?” Apollo asked as he leaned against the doorway.

“I’m singing, and dancing in the rainnnnn.” Came the sung reply as the blonde spun around the room with the black umbrella.

“It’s not raining.” He deadpanned. Seeing his twin dancing around the room was rather normal, after all she wasn’t going to WADA for nothing. And one day she had chased him around the house singing “The Phantom of the Opera” cape, dramatic music and all, so this was actually pretty tame for her.

The dancing stopped and Sy spun around to face her twin, one hand was on her hip as she looked at him and shook her head.

“Dad would kill me if I made it rain inside the house.” She said with a soft smirk. “Just like he’s going to kill you for getting flour everywhere.”

The boy kept his casual stance against the doorway, uncaring that he was smudging flour all over the doorway. “Well I can’t help it if baking isn’t my forte.” He said with a lazy shrug.

“Yes, well maybe you can help being a mess?” St said as she grabbed her wand from a nearby table and then flicked it at him, and after a quick scourify, the flour was gone from his person and from the doorway! “Do you need help?” She asked as she set her Umbrella down and moved closer to her twin. “Obviously I’m not getting the rest of my practicing done with you hanging around.” She teased him lightly.

“Yeah, I’m not going to frost all of these things by myself.” Apollo said as he turned and moved back down into the hall with a bit of an eye roll at her last words, dramatic twin was dramatic.

He heard a gasp as his sister came into the kitchen.

“They are everywhere.” Came an awed whisper.

It was true, cupcakes of almost every flavor you could imagine, were covering every single available surface in the kitchen, they were all over the counters, the tables, even some of the chairs had cupcakes scattered on them.

“Why do you need so many cupcakes?”

Apollo heard his sisters question and he sighed. “I said I would do the baking for a fundraiser at school, no one told me how many of these things I had to make. 500 is a bit much.”

“500? Dear Merlin..” Syah groaned. “Was there a girl involved?” She asked as she sank into a chair, which sadly had cupcakes on it.

Apollo winced as his sister shrieked and bolted upright, thankfully she was so focused on the cupcakes sticking to her pants he didn’t have to answer that last bit about a girl!

“Apollo Stefan Kennedy!” The words had barely left her mouth when something warm and soft hit him smack dab in the face.

“Mmph!” Was the only sound Apollo could make as he found himself with a mouth full of chocolate cupcake! “Not the chocolate ones, I actually did decent on those.” Crumbs flew everywhere as he spoke. “You are going to get it.” He managed to get out as he swallowed the warm cake.

He stuck his hand into a nearby bowl of bright green frosting and was about to throw it at her when he noticed another bowl of Frosting levitating towards his head!

“Oh don’t you even..” The lanky blonde couldn’t even get the last word out before he found himself with bright blue frosting pouring over his head! As the frosting dripped over his ear he heard the squeals of laughter from his sister.

“Artemis Syah Harwell!” Apollo sputtered as he wiped frosting out of his eyes and licked the sweet substance from his lips. “My hair is going to be blue!” He shrieked at her as the gooey liquid dripped down his cheek.

“I don’t know ‘Pollo, blue could be a good color on you! Impress all the girls with your punkiness?” Came the giggly reply

“You look so innocent and nice, sunshine, but you really are the evil twin!” He said as he lunged after her.

“It’s good to be evil.” Sy laughed and squealed as she ran out of the kitchen and towards the living room once more away from her angry, and blue frosting covered twin.
