"Jedediah, are you sure this is a good idea," the roman general asked the cowboy to his left. "Octy, when are ya gonna loosen up and trust me? Besides, where's your sense of adventure?" Octavius looked skeptically at wild, blonde cowboy as he set up what Larry called a firework. "The last time you said that, we had to outrun Huns and I left that back in Rome," Octavius replied sardonically. Jedediah looked extremely annoyed over at the roman general. "Nice to know that you don't trust at all, partner." "Oh, I trust you. I just think you have a small sense of self preservation, considering your rather long history of getting into dangerous situations."
The cowboy huffed as he finished setting up the fireworks. "Fuck you, Octy. Truly fuck you," he growled out as he struck a match to light the first of many fireworks. "Should you be standing that close,Jed?" Concerned with the lack of response, Octavius looked in time to see Jedediah jump from the top of a firework with a large, texan grin. Terror raced through the roman as he dragged from the explosive.
A shower of sparks flew from the top, followed by the sound of cracks filled the air. Unfortunately, when Jed was setting up the fireworks, he set them too close to each other causing a chain reaction. Aerials took off in different directions, bursting into colorful lights that filled the night sky as fountains and cherry bombs light up the ground in array of bright, colored lights.
Standing in awe, the pair didn't notice Larry walking up behind them. "Jed, I thought I told you to wait until I was out here to monitor the both of you when you lit the fireworks. By the way, nice show, but next time I'm leaving them in my office until I know you can be trusted alone with them," Larry said. "Oh, and Octavius, your cape is on fire." True to his word, Octavius looked to see the end of his cape on fire. "Shitshitshit," he yelped out as he attempted to put out his cape. Jedediah rolled his eyes and stomped on the flame. He then was decked in the face.
"Next time, I will light fireworks and you be on fire."
