[GP] Evening - Blinding you with science (and fireworks)

[st_rongheart]

It had taken a good three weeks for Sora and Peter to gather enough materials and also enough nerve to put on the fireworks that Peter had felt were missing from New Year's. They'd filched, over time, a pile of steel wool pads and an embarrassing number of whisks. Why they needed those things, Sora didn't exactly know.

Once everything was gathered up, Sora and Peter met outside, a safe (probably!) distance from the Inn. Peter showed Sora how to stretch out a pad of steel wool and jam it inside a whisk, then he attached long ropes of webbing to the ends of the whisks and fastened them to the ground. While he did that, he cheerfully explained how the webbing worked and how he was sure it would stick to the ground right and everything would be fine. There was a lot of math and other things Sora did not understand at all, but he was absolutely confident that Peter was right.

Once everything was fastened properly, Peter gave the nod.

Sora called out the Keyblade, stood in the middle of the webby circle of stuffed whisks, and cast Aeroga. Swirling winds came out of nowhere to lift up the whisks and spin them in the air, held in control only by the webbing ropes. Next came Thunder - bolts of lightning to ignite the wool in the whisks as they spun. (Peter had been sure that Fire wouldn't work, it had to be Thunder. And he was so right!)

Then the boys settled, more or less, to watch their homemade fireworks spinning and throwing sparks.

She frowned, her face scrunched in concentration then it smoothed out again.

"I do not know." But beauty from destruction bothered her. She couldn't explain why.

"Maybe I will try to paint it. See what I can come up with." He finally looked down at her and smiled. "How have you been?"

That was a complicated question, "The holidays are hard for many people. Away from loved ones."

"It's heavy, the missing. Mine and everyone else." She felt very weighted down. "The colors help."

Fireworks seemed to evoke happiness and joy in others.
