With how often Ness has set off fireworks before, getting these ready to be lit is a quick and easy process for him. He unwraps one from it’s packaging, sets up the base, and makes sure the fuse is sticking out before moving on to the next. It is actually kind of fun, if only for what happens after. He couldn’t be anymore impatient to see all the rockets explode, to watch them together with Paula.
…That might actually be his favorite part about tonight. Usually he’s setting off fireworks by himself, which is already a great time. Doing all this with someone just as enthusiastic about sky pyromania as he is, someone he absolutely cherishes, makes it all so much greater.
By the time Paula is done with her group, Ness is done with his. He looks at her and sees her flame. Grinning confidently, a fire of his own ignites from his hand. “You bet. We’ll get this party started.” With a swing of his arm, there’s a shout of “PK FIRE!” and a flame erupts from his hand, aimed for his side of the fireworks.
Paula was simply buzzing with sheer excitement, though she managed to contain herself for the moment. Not often did she get to sneak off with a bunch of illegal fireworks to set them off with someone as special as Ness. Normally she’d be home throwing confetti and popping poppers with her family since that’s what her father deemed ‘safe and fun’. Honestly, she loved that man with all her heart, but he worried too much. Thankfully since the whole adventure with Giygas, he’s been much more lenient.
She smiled hearing Ness’ confirmation, flashing him a cute smile before looking to her set of fireworks with a slight destructive look in her cerulean eyes. She swung her arm and shouted “PK FIRE!” in unison with him and watched as the flames flew from her palm.
The rows of fireworks immediately started fizzing, Paula watching in anticipation.
Of course, the firecrackers go off first in a fit of loud crackling and smoke before the roman candles shot their colorful blasts into the starry night sky. The blasts combust far into the air, lighting up the darkened sky with a variety of colors and patterns.
The blonde was simply all aglow seeing the explosives go off and fill the sky; her eyes sparkled and her hands clasped together as she started up in excited awe.
