Well, the weather outside is frightful

Characters: Everyone!
Date: Midnight the 16th of December
Summary: The inhabitants of the Garden get their reward for making out beneath the mistletoe, in the form of a lights show in the sky.
Warnings: N/A

In the dead of night, the Garden is dead silent. Without the sound of the city or urban life, only the noises of nature pervade the air. Crickets. Rustling leaves. The occasional footsteps of an animal.

However, tonight, at midnight, the silence is broken by a loud pealing of bells, rousing the people of the garden from their sleep. The bells continue ringing for nearly half a minute before falling silent. For a moment, the peacefulness of night returns to the Gardens.

Then the enormous mistletoe plant begins glowing, with a brilliant white light bright enough to be seen from all corners of the Garden. It fizzes, shooting off heatless sparks, and then bursts, shooting up into the sky and breaking into pieces of glowing light, forming various shapes. Above the Orchard, a series of hearts form, burst like fireworks, and reform. Over the Necessities, nymphs made of sparkling light kiss and dance through the sky, winking down at the people below. Over the ruins, flowers of multicolored light pop into existence and disperse. And above the Viridian Pavilion, fiery red phoenixes swoop through the air, burn out dramatically, and are reborn in a new cascade of light.

The show will continue until morning. Fortunately, now that the mistletoe's light has dispersed, it's not so bright that it should keep people awake.

"They're beautiful!" Sanae exclaimed, running out a bit to get a more full view of the sky.

"Ya never seen 'em much?" Marisa asked. Both danmaku and crafting her own fireworks had dulled her to the splendour of the display, but it didn't stop her from appreciating it. Bright, flashy and loud: it was very her.

"Well, I'd see them at matsuri sometimes, but never on a scale like this..."

Reimu just watched quietly for awhile. "I guess they aren't bad. Still, I wish they didn't wake me up."

"Your sense of childlike wonder seems to be broken, Reimu."

"Sanae, ya do remember where we come from, right?"

"But you're both human. And matsuri doesn't come often. Danmaku is one thing, but THIS is pretty awesome, isn't it?"

"As I said, it's about right! Fireworks should look good, after all."
