In honor of 4th of July I decided to make a story including it. It's a little late because I couldn't finish it in the time I had yesterday.

I do not own Kane Chronicles, but I do own over enthusiastic Rosy.

And by the way this is a three-shot.

Sadie's POV:

I mean sure I'm American, but I don't get why the 4th of July is a bloody holiday? It's probably because I never listened to Carter when he rambled on and on and on about why it is a holiday. I think it's something about some poor chaps who died.

I think it's kind of cool though. I mean back in Britain my best friend's Liz and Emma and I would watch fireworks when it was a big occasion or some person's birthday.

The cool thing about this is Walt asked me, well I guess it would be Walt/Anubis, but I'm just going to call him Walt. So Walt asked me if I wanted to go to one of the many firework shows here. Carter said we were going to light some off of the roof and eat and chat. Then we could go off and see one of the city's fireworks shows.

Of course not alone, though. He stared straight at me when he said that. The nerve of that boy blaming me for something I haven't done….yet. Well not today anyway.

With these thoughts I got out of my rather comfy bed and got ready. On a normal day I would wear linen pajamas as I like to call them for teaching the "students." But today I picked out some dark shorts that go a little above the knee that were ripped along with a dark blue tank top. I thought I might as well go with the color theme.

I brushed my medium length hair and put it into a ponytail. I didn't bother putting too much make-up on, because who knows what will happen until tonight?

I walked downstairs to the terrace to grab some breakfast and realized I was late. When I got there everyone stared at me as I grabbed my food and sat down. I grabbed some eggs, bacon, and toast. Carter gave me a look that I ignored as usual.

Carter discussed today's activities. I kind of zoned him out like half of the other kids. Besides some girls that thought he was hot- GROSS!

I then tuned in when he said my name, "Sadie?"

"Hmmm" I managed to get out, because I just took a bite of toast.

"You will be in charge of getting the fireworks, got it?" He said this as if he couldn't believe he was leaving me in charge of that. I couldn't believe it either.

"Oh, yea got it" I said wanting to be done with announcements already.

"And don't go alone" he said. Of course he pointed that out to me in front of everybody.

I zoned out and finished my breakfast. By the time I finished so did Carter. I walked out quickly not wanting to get a whole conversation about not going alone or something stupid like that.

I caught up to Walt and asked, "Hey Walt you want to come with me?"

He gave me that annoyingly gorgeous smile and said, "Sure."

So I grabbed the money from Carter's room, but before I could slip out though I heard voices in the hallway. Carter and Zia!

I quickly hid in the closet while I tried to figure out a spell that would help me. While I was thinking they both came in here. Ok I know I'm kind of eavesdropping, but they locked me in here!

Before I could blink they started kissing. Like the kissing that you want to yell at people, "Get a room!" Well at least I say that to people. But I thought again and they are in a room and I'm not supposed to be in here.

I must have been good on luck's side today because they decided to continue this outside on the little balcony.

As soon as they closed the door I hopped out of the closet and ran out of the room with the money of course.

When I was running in the hall probably looking like a mad woman I ran into something hard. I looked up into the chocolate orbs of Walt. Wow this could not be more awkward.

I mean I thought that we kind of have a relationship going on, but it has gotten really weird and mixed up. Especially since this whole Walt/Anubis thing happened.

"Ready to go?" he asked casually.

"Ready" I said plowing ahead so he didn't see me blush just the tiniest bit.

We got up on the roof and I was thinking where I wanted to make a portal to.

"How about Missouri" Walt suggested. "They have lots of fireworks there."

I didn't ask how he or they knew that. Maybe people set up the fireworks tents by the cemeteries or something.

I didn't know a specific town and I didn't want to appear clueless so I just made one to Missouri hoping fireworks would be nearby.

We stepped through the swirling sand vortex and appeared in a small city with sand covering our whole body. I quickly swiped it off me and looked around praying to Isis or whoever for there to be fireworks nearby.

That's when Walt started walking to a gas station. Like if you needed to go to the bathroom you should have gone before we left. I didn't say this out loud, and instead I followed him.

He walked up to the girl behind the cash register and said something I couldn't hear, because the bell above the door jingled.

"Oh sure" she responded in a little southern accent. "Just go down the block and turn left sweetie." I thought the sweetie was kind of weird since she was like in her early 20's. How old did she think Walt was?

"Ok, thank you" Walt responded. He then took my arm and guided me out the jingling door.

He started walking down the block just like the southern lady said to. I'm guessing he asked where the fireworks are and she directed us. Hopefully she told us the right way.

When we turned left I could see a huge red and yellow tent in the distance. As we walked up to it we were greeted by a tall girl with strawberry blonde hair.

"Hey guys!" She said with way too much enthusiasm, "I'm Rosy and welcome to Firework Fanatics!" I felt like I was going to puke from over enthusiasm and the intoxicating smell of her perfume. I seriously felt like I was in a perfume fog.

She handed us each a small plastic basket like one in the grocery stores. "Just tell me if you need anything" with that she ran off to say hi to another customer.

In my hand I had $200 that I stole from Carter. He originally set only $100 out for the fireworks, but someone has got to teach that poor boy what stuff costs in America. He probably knows what things cost better in Egypt than here.

We looked around for awhile. It was really nice since everything was on sale.

Walt and I went in the back where all the big ones were at. Each box that held 25 shots each were $60! What rubbish, but I grabbed two different kinds anyway.

We also got little stuff like little fountains, sparklers, parachutes, flying thingamabobs, and etc. I mostly got the little stuff for the little ankle-biters, but hey sparklers are fun to write stuff in the air.

When we were done I had $55 left. See look who's right now Carter!

We had to wait for twenty more minutes before I could make another portal. The one at Brooklyn House I've gotten really good at and can manage one at a random time every so often. It's kind of draining though.

So we looked around for the obelisk that we landed on. I found it soon after we started looking. It was odd looking and I don't really know how to describe it so let your imagination do the work.

When it got time to open a portal I made Walt look around making sure no one was watching us.

"The coast is clear, Captain" he said in a cheesy voice.

"Good job Soldier" I responded.

"Why don't I get to be a Lieutenant?"

"Because your not, end of discussion, Soldier." I added in to see him give a fake annoying look.

Without wasting anymore time I made the portal. As I was about to jump through Walt took my hand. I gave him a questioning look, but I said nothing. With that we jumped through.

When we got to the other side I fell on something – black and white - Felix's penguins. It looked at me then just wobbled on like nothing happened. I tried to follow suit. But now everyone was staring at me as they were setting up things on the roof.

"Is it lunch time" I asked uncomfortable of all the eyes staring at me. Or should I say Walt and I holding hands still.

"SADIE KANE!"

"Yes brother dearest" I responded to the lovely sound of my brother's outraged voice.

"YOU- Let's talk about this alone." He added emphasis on the word alone.

"Why yes I would love to chat" I responded in a sarcastic voice. This got a few grins out of some people.

I followed him instead of being dragged. We have done that on some occasions and have gotten many comments about it for the rest of that day.

When we got to his room he locked the door behind him. Oh, so it's going to be one of those conversations.

He spun around to look at me. "Why did you steal my money?"

"I didn't" I answered as if I was talking to an ankle-biter instead of my older brother.

"Then why is $100 missing?"

"I needed it for fireworks, and here's $55 back."

"You spent my money?"

"Sure, plus we both know that Uncle Amos gave you that money so if anything it's his money." I pointed out starting to get annoyed with this conversation.

"Why didn't you ask then?" Now he was starting to sound more reasonable.

"Because you were too busy 'talking' with Zia." I emphasized on the word talking.

He didn't get what I meant until it dawned on him. "You were in here during that?"

"Yes" I answered simply.

"Really, you were?"

"Yes, now how many times do I have to say this?"

"Well how about you and Walt." I know he was trying to change the subject on me, but really what with me and Walt? As far as I know were just at the 'friend' stage.

"What about us? There is nothing going on between me and Walt. Even though I wish there was there isn't."

"Wh-

I cut him off, "This was a lovely chat Carter. Let's not do it again."

With that I unlocked the door and walked out.

I was planning on changing or fixing something with sand all over me. But I still hadn't had lunch yet and my stomach was rumbling.

My stomach led the way to the terrace and grabbed a bunch of food. I barely even recognized what I was eating all I know is it was good. Making portals was so much easier with the power of Isis.

I went up to my room and I had 5 hours until fireworks along with dinner so we can watch and eat.

So I hopped into the shower and washed all the sand off me and out of my hair. I got out around 25 minutes later.

I decided to wear a pair of red jeans, a black one shoulder top and of course my combat boots.

I decided just to leave my hair down to dry and played some music while I got dressed. I then decided to put on some make-up.

I put a little bit of black eyeliner and some mascara on. I have to say that the eyeliner really made my eyes pop out.

I looked at myself in the mirror and decided it was good.

I went up and tried to open the door. Key word here is – tried.

The door would not budge like something was blocking the other side. I even tried using magic and it was to no avail. And I knew who did it.

My brother dearest was in trouble.

Lucky for him I knew how to get out. I reached down to the shen amulet around my neck. You know the one Walt gave me for my birthday.

I tried thinking of anything that would catch his attention. After I had been doing this for a minute I almost quit because of my impatience. But I then hear a -Sadie?

Yes Walt this is Sadie and I'm locked in my room by magic. And I really need your help.

Who did that?

MY brother!

I hear him laugh bloody typical! But then I hear a – Ok, I'm coming.

Thanks.

I hear someone walking by my door so I turned the music down. So I can't have fun while I'm locked in my room?

I heard chants being muttered and some cursing in Egyptian so I knew Walt had arrived.

Can you get it? I used the shen amulet, because I really didn't want to shout through the door in case Carter heard.

Well I have no idea what spell he cast. It has a lot of power to it like godly power to it.

Uggg, Seriously? Carter never uses Horus's power unless 'absolutely necessary' or something like that.

Well jokes on him two can play this game.

Walt go down to the terrace and act casual. I'll be down there to meet you soon. I hope I thought.

What? Sadie-

Terrace, Now!

I hear grumbling, but I also heard footsteps walking away.

Carter knows I hate turning to into a kite. It's easier when I have the power of Isis. I mean sure I have a little, but not enough to do much. And sometimes I hear her little nagging voice is in my head. It's pretty annoying.

But a girls got to do what a girls got to do. I mean I'm Sadie Kane for Nut's sake!

Hey Isis you there?

Oh, so now you want me when your in trouble?

Well it would be nice, yes.

I hear her grumble something, but then I started to feel more powerful.

Thanks Isis.

Kite here I come!

When I turn into a bird I start having a sensation of eating a bug which is disgusting! Just take my word for it.

I looked down at the terrace and saw Walt sitting in one of the chairs and drinking from a water bottle.

Freedom here I COME!

I landed right in front of him, which he jumped and was mighty proud of myself for two reasons. 1) I scared Walt/Anubis, and no one repeat NO ONE has done before and 2) FREEDOM! Ha beat that Carter!

Anyway I had been locked in my room for three hours and two hours I was unaware of. And now I wanted payback, oh yes Carter is so going to get it. And I still have two hours until the fireworks.
