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.

Treehouse!

Sora stands out on the little balcony of the treehouse, watching the nymphs dance through the sky. It's a truly amazing display, and she's actually quite happy that this time, nothing too dangerous has happened. So she'll just lean on the railing, enjoying the show. Anyone's welcome to join her or climb up to the balcony.

Here's the new housemate, yawning and staring at the show.

"My goodness... what on earth is going on?"

Sora will scoot over so Vitalia can comfortably see the show, then!

"It looks like a fireworks show, Garden style."

Which means they're really, really, really cool.

"Fireworks! Oh, my! I'd never seen any at home. Oh, how lovely! They're enchanting!"

"We had them all the time on the islands, especially during summer when all of the students could stay up later."

Sora really, really likes fireworks, so she's watching excitedly.

"Ah, would that I could see this so often! I wonder how they work..."

She doesn't say anything at first, just plops herself beside Sora, too distracted by this new phenomenon to muster any words at first. She does find herself reaching for the other girl's hand, though.

Well, that makes Sora smile and she'll quietly take Xion's hand, smiling at her a moment before looking back to the fireworks.

She gives Sora's hand a little squeeze in return, putting her chin in her other hand.

"It's really pretty...what is it?"

"Fireworks. We had them a lot on the island."

Oh, the stories she could tell. Instead, she'll content herself with slightly leaning in to Xion. All of the snuggles for her unofficial wife.

"Fire...works. It fits." She giggles a little, leaning back. "What are they for? Just to look pretty?"
