Halcyon's eyes widened fearfully at the fireworks. "Oh.." The banging was too loud for her. Jumping down from the window she lay beneath it and covered her ears. Right before she covered her ears though, she heard Naito's words. Slowly, she uncovered them and looked up at him. She smiled brightly, his words repeating in her head. No one had told her that before!
At the window, Garaden jumped back in suprise but quickly came back, awe in his eyes. "Are those... fireworks?" Amazing! Fire in the sky, making colorful circles in mid-air. Then the loud bang to emphasis the glowing rainbow explosions. He watched entraptured.
Ivan's inner world began to slow down when Raisa stayed with him, asking what he was going to say. Though she was watching the fireworks, he knew she was still with him. A feeling bubbled up inside him. She cared enough to hear him instead of leaving to watch! He stood up straight with the sudden confidence, speaking clearly over the banging of the display. "Raisa. I love you."
Tilly yipped in suprise, almost falling off Ger. Jumping to stand completely on his head she barked at the fireworks for scareing her, then for being so pretty.

Dagger continued to light the fireworks and paused every so often to look up into the sky and watch them exploding.
Raisa was concentrating on the fireworks but she was listening to hear what Ivan was saying to her, though, what he said nearly shook her entire world. She turned away from the firework display and at Ivan, her green eyes clearly showing her surprise at his words. He loved me she thought over and over to herself. He loved me!
"Ivan...I..lo..ve...you.." She could suddenly feel her world spinning around her as her wings began to flap happily. "I love you too and WHOA!" She felt herself lifting in the air and when she attempted to stop her wings, they gave out on her completely and she crashed back onto the ground with a loud thud.
Kai looked around at everyone in the room and smirked, having an urge to be his stupid self but he noticed that everyone was thoroughly enjoying the display and so he kept his mouth shut...strangely...but he's ears twitched when he heard Ivan and he turned slowly to look at Raisa and Ivan.
"They're both hopeless." He said, shaking his head.
"Oh no, I just wasn't expecting fireworks." She laughed nervously at jumping and noticed the concern in his eyes. She smiled softly at him and nodded. "I'm fine..."
She turned back to look at the fireworks and smiled.
"They're so bright..."
"Yup, those are fireworks. I love watching them...especially the ones that make designs in the sky.." Blair said, used to the noise and the colors. She came up beside Garaden and looked out into the sky.

Ammy heard Ivan's and Raisa's proclamation of love to each other. Finally! She thought smiling to herself. She looked over there and shook her head as she watched Raisa crash onto the floor.
Ger laughed at Tilly's surprise. "What are you barking at?" He said laughing.
Rudolf sighed relived that is wasn't anything serious. "I see." He said slowly, "Very bright. Pretty well as." He sat down near her and watched as some more fireworks went off.
(I think Rudolf's english is improving.)

Ivan was so focused on Raisa that at her response it took him a while to do anything except stare. She loves me! So long had he kept his feelings buried inside that his release came in laughter that shook him till he teared up and fell down. When she fluttered up and crashed back down he had to crawl to get to her. "Are... yo... you... alright?!" He asked through his joyful yet painful laughing, gasping for air and placing a paw onto one of hers.
Garaden looked at Blair and smiled, enjoying the play of light in her silver eyes, highlighting her dark fur. He noticed something hit the ground from the corner of his eye. Glancing back he froze, completely stunned by the sight that greeted his eyes. Realization hit, and the corners of his mouth slowly began to turn up. He turned back to the window shaking his head.
Tilly looked down at Ger, barking at him once and pawed the top of his nose. "'orse!" She looked back up at the fireworks and sat, just watching.

Raisa managed to rub her free paw across her nose and nodded her head gently.
"I'm fine... but my tummy hurts. I've never had such a hard landing before." She said, beginning to giggle. She looked at his paw atop hers and she leaned towards him and licked his nose, still giggling.
Endless nodded.
"Yes...it's very pretty. My favorite are the red and light blue ones." She said, looking over at Tilly who was barking at the lights. She smiled at the pup and looked back up into the sky. "I like how they look in the night sky."
Blair had begun to 'oh' and 'aw' after a few of the fireworks exploded in the sky and shimmered in the sky like millions of small diamonds falling to the earth. Her tail was wagging happily and she felt almost like a puppy again. The glanced at Garaden and gave him a smile before turning back to the fireworks
"So," Atreyu called from the doorway where he sat watching everyone. "Are you guys enjoying the show?" He asked, tilting his head happily.

Showing his concern through his eyes, since his mouth was busy laughing, he scooted closer to her. She licked his nose and his laughter calmed slightly. Brushing the tears from his eyes he crawled even closer so he could rub his head against hers. "Will.. you.. be my mate?" He asked. He may be crawling on the floor laughing his head off, but he was still a knight and wanted to make it properly official.
Garaden watched Blair enjoy the fireworks and smiled to himself. She was as pretty as the fireworks. More so. He waved out the window absentmindedly at Atreyu, keeping his gaze on the lovely female next to him.

Atreyu laughed at Garaden who was so absorbed in looking at Blair. He turned to Ivan and Raisa and noticed the two of them and heard Ivan's question to the butterfly moonlit. His eyes widened and he waiting expectantly to hear her answer. He was prepared to howl happily the moment she said yes or console his friend if she said no. Either way, he was prepared.
Raisa closed her eyes when he rubbed his head against hers and she felt her wings fluttering again but she managed to get herself under control. At his question, she stared at him shy for a brief moment and then her eyes began to become misty with small, shiny tears of happiness.
"You want me as....your mate?" She attempted to wipe her tears away but more replaced them. "I...I...I..I would be honored to be your mate...." She said, shutting her eyes and trying to control her self.
Blair turned slowly away from the firework display and looked at Garaden. She stared into his eyes without fear and no longer shy and insecure. She twitched her tail when she heard Atreyu's voice but she ignored it.

Both of them lieing on the floor crying, him still laughing, Ivan thought they be a rediculous sight but didn't care. She said yes! He saw as she tried to control her tears. Making another poor attempt to control his laughter, he licked the tears off her cheek. "The honor.. is... all mine." He whispered roughly. "The blessing... is all mine."
Garaden was suprised but comfortable with Blair's direct gaze. They were eyes you could get lost in forever. He knew his heart was anyway. He stepped closer and wrapped his tail with hers again.

Atreyu jumped in the air at Raisa's answer and he threw back his head, howling with laughter.
"Congrats!" He called to the two of them.
She could hardly control her tears and so she just gave up entirely and let the tears flow. When he licked her cheek, she had nearly gained some control over her tears but what he said to her just brought on another wave of it. She merely turned her head, leaned toward him and burrowed her head in his shoulder. Every now and then, the words 'love', 'you' and 'happy' escaped from her soft sobs and laughter against his fur.
She closed her eyes and sighed happily the moment, feeling their tails wrapped together. She took a small step towards him and then turned back to the fireworks, enjoying the bright colors once more.

Twitching his ears, Ivan looked over at Atreyu. Laughing even harder now he tried to raise a paw to wave but only managed to get it up a few inches before it thumped back down. With Raisa's head against his shoulder he felt his strength begin to return. He scooted so that she could keep her head where it was and he could rest his own head on her shoulder. He nuzzled at her neck, her scattered words bringing tears of pure bliss to mingle with his tears of happiness and tears from painful laughing. He was losing his voice and could only manage a rough, "I love you," quietly repeating it into her neck.
Watching Blair a little longer, Garaden turned his head back outside. He watched the fireworks, imagining each explosion as all the oppertunities his future now held, each one more spectacular and brilliant than before.

Naito was the type to be nice to anyone unless if they insulted him. He then looked at her. "Are you alright? If you want we could go somewhere where it is not as loud."

Ammy howled her delight when Raisa said yes to being Ivan's mate. She looked out the window and noticed a few strands of light peeking through the trees. She drew a moon in the sky to prolong the joyous night. She turned back to her friend and barked congrats to the happy couple.
Ger scrunched his nose when Tilly pawed it. He ignored the celebrating wolves not really caring that a pair had hooked up. He was content watching the firework display.
Rudolf nodded. "Those pretty very." He said watching a golden shower from a firework, "Night sky pretty them makes. Bad too day coming." He watched as suddenly the few beams of light disappeared and night appeared again. "What?!" He asked shocked turning to see Ammy, "Oh Ammy night extend."

Dagger had left Zarin to light the remaining fireworks and went off to his human's room to get a few more. He set them up, took the branch from Zarin who was starting to become hysterically from holding the branch, and began to light them.
Atreyu merely laughed at Ivan and stepped into the room. He moved through the crowd watching the fireworks and stood beside Ammy. He pawed at her and smiled warmly.
"Thanks Ammy." He said, bowing to her respectfully.
Raisa heard Ammy howling and she heard Atreyu as well and that only made her laugh as she had gained some control over her sobs. She felt a weight against her shoulder and attributed it to being Ivan's head. Her tail wagged happiy
Kai watched Raisa and Ivan and shook his head.
"Those crazy kids..." He said. He stared at Ivan, always enjoying torturing him and barked. "Hey Ivan, can I join the love fest too?!" He called to him, bouncing on his paws.
"Yeah I know... if I could, I'd make time stop just for this night to last a little bit longer." Endless said with a nod, though she knew the adverse effects to her ability but she was willing to take those risks to let everyone enjoy this wonderful night and to spend just a little bit more time with Rudolf. When he gasped, she looked to the night sky and at the bright moon shining high. "Ammy?" She looked to the white moonlit with strange markings and tilted her head. "She has the power over the moon?"
Hearing Ammy and Atreyu howling with delight, she turned to look at Raisa and Ivan lying on the floor. She noticed Raisa had been crying and she instantly felt her protective side coming to life but she paused, realizing they were tears of happiness. She relaxed again and smiled.
"That's so cute...I'm happy for Raisa." Blair said with a nod. She turned back to the fireworks and stepped slightly towards Garaden, seeking to lean aganist him again.

Ammy bowed her head at Atreyu. She barked saying it was nothing. She pawed at him to stand up. She turned around when she heard her name and saw Rudolf and Endless looking at her. She wagged her tail smiling.
Rudolf turned from Ammy to look at Endless. "Stop time you?" He asked. He had heard of wolves that could stop or slow time but he has never met one besides Roland. "Ammy goddess sun. Make blooms trees, appear sun and moon." He said nodding.

Feeling himself gain some control Ivan pulled his head back up and brushed at his eyes, nodding thanks to Ammy. Rolling up onto his belly so his legs were underneath him, he shook his head at Kai. "Go get your own." He was just too happy to get irritated like he might have before. Touching his nose to Raisa's he stood shakily on weak legs, wincing at the soreness from laughing.
Also hearing the delighted howls, Garaden turned back. 'He's going to be hearing about this later.' He thought, wondering why Ivan had never said anything about Raisa to him. He nodded with Blair. "She's lucky, Ivan's a good guy. She sure must be great too. I've never seen him act like this." Seeing her step closer, he shuffled his feet for better support and used his tail to gently pull her closer. He noticed the slight sun rays he had seen suddenly disappear, lengthening the night. 'Thank you Ammy.' He thought happily.
Recovering her ears against the banging, Halcyon gave Naito an apologetic look. "If you want to stay and watch, I will survive."
Looking at Ivan and Raisa on the floor, Tilly now chose to take the oppertunity to bark at them. She soon noticed that Ger didn't seem to care about them, so she turned back to the fireworks. She stretched onto her tummy, front paws reaching to rest between Ger's eyes, back paws hanging down behind his ears.
