"Only a week until Halloween is here, and I still haven't thought up anything to make Felix smile. If at least once." Jenna said to herself as she looked to the pile of crumpled up papers in her waste basket. "Well, time to destroy this bundle of evidence." She then said before casting flare on the papers. There was suddenly a knock at the door, causing Jenna to jump three feet in the air and lose control of the fire. She scrambled to put it out as her door opened.
"Jenna? What are you doing in here? And what's that smell?" Sheba asked as she looked around, only to find Jenna patting at a small fire. "You really need to learn how to control that you know." She then said with a laugh.
"You startled me. And I can control it thank you very much." Jenna said as she finished putting out the fire.
"So, what have you been up to all this time? It's not like you to stay up in your room for long periods of time like this. That's Felix's job." She said as she laughed at the last part of her sentence.
"I'm not plotting anything against my brother!" Jenna shouted as she ran to her desk and covered up blank pieces of paper.
"Can't think of anything, can you?" Sheba said as she closed the door to Jenna's room.
"No." Jenna said with a sigh. "Normally I have a million things pop into my head that I could do. I don't understand why it's so hard this time."
"What are you trying to accomplish exactly?" Sheba asked as she went and sat on the fire adepts bed.
"I have a goal. It's to make my dolt of a brother smile at least once on Halloween." She told her before sighing. "But it's not working well, as I told you already."
"Well, I don't think playing a trick on him and or embarrassing him will make him smile. That will just get you hurt." Sheba said with a laugh. "Let's go see if Mia can help with this. She always has some trick up her sleeve for making people smile."
"I was about to suggest the same thing." Jenna said with a nervous laugh.
"Yeah. Sure. Let's go." She said as she grabbed Jenna's hand and dragged her out of her room and then out the front door. They walked down a worn path into town. "Now, I know she said she would be somewhere should I need her."
"Somewhere? You mean to tell me you don't even know where she is?" Jenna argued as she looked at the confused wind adept.
"Oh yeah. That's it!" Sheba then said before grabbing Jenna's hand again and taking off running.
"Where are you taking me!" Jenna pouted as she was drug along the road by a strange acting Sheba.
"I already told you. We're going to see Mia." Sheba said before stopping in front of a house.
"Wow. Mia's house. Should have guessed.." Jenna said as she got up off the ground and dusted herself off.
"Very funny." Sheba said before knocking on the door.
"I thought it was." Jenna said with a grin.
"What happened to you?" Mia asked when she opened the door and saw Jenna covered in dirt. "Did you get into a big fight with your brother or something?"
"You would think so." Jenna said as she shot Sheba a glare. "But Sheba dragged me all the way here."
"Sheba, that's not nice." Mia said with a laugh. "So, I take it you can't think of anything to do for Halloween?"
"Is it me, or does everyone seem to know about it?" Jenna said as she fixed her hair.
"Well, why don't you two come in and we'll think of something." Mia said as she moved from the doorway, allowing the two girls in.
"Are either of you thirsty or anything?" Mia asked, only to get two nods in return. "Okay, so, I guess that means that we need to get down to business then."
"Okay, I can't think of anything. I'll admit it. And Sheba pointed out that playing a trick on him will only get me hurt. I'm open to any and all ideas." Jenna said as she leaned back on the couch.
"Hmm….This is going to be harder than we thought." Mia said. "I've never seen him smile before, are you sure this isn't like some sort of mission impossible thing here?"
"He's smiled before. While we were out lighting the lighthouses. He cast quake on me when I accidently dumped hot soup on him at the inn. Although, I think it was more of a smirk though." Jenna said as she thought back to the moment.
"Okay, so besides making him hurt you, what can we do to make him smile?" Sheba asked with a sigh.
"Oh! Let's have a party on the night before Halloween." Mia said with a smile.
"And what will we do during the party?" Jenna asked, not knowing what to do herself.
"Eat candy and other foods, and drink drinks. Oh! And play some games. I love playing games." Mia said as she bounced up and down in her seat as a little child would if it's parents gave it something it really wanted.
"Okay, first of all, who all should we invite?" Sheba asked.
"Uhh….Ivan, Isaac, Garet, Piers, Felix of course, anyone else you can think of?" Mia asked.
"Let's see. One, two three, four, five, six, seven, eight. Nope. That's it. Don't need too many people there." Jenna said.
"Okay, so that takes care of the first part. What are we going to do food and drink wise and then game wise?" Sheba asked as she looked at the other two.
"Uhh…..we'll think of something for the food and drinks when it draws closer to the party date." Jenna told her with a small, nervous laugh.
"Okay, so, procrastinating on that part. What about games?" She then asked as Jenna and Mia looked at each other before getting large grins on their faces. "Well, games are now taken care of."
"Where are we going to have it?" Jenna asked out of the blue.
"Hmm….I don't know." Mia said as she looked to Jenna.
"How about at Jenna's house. It's big enough." Sheba suggested..
"Okay, so, how are we going to get Felix out of the house so we can decorate it for the party?" Jenna asked, thinking of carious, evil schemes to distract him while they decorated.
"Uhh…we need you to help decorate if we're ever going to get it decorated in time." Sheba said, earning a small pout from Jenna.
"Fine. We need someone to distract him for the day." Jenna then said before thinking of the best person to do it.. "I know the perfect person to keep him away for the day."
"We'll let you argue with the person to get them to agree to do it. Me and Mia will start deciding on the decorations and stuff." Sheba told her.
"Alright. Let's make a list of things that we will need for it." Mia said before getting up and grabbing some parchment off of a nearby table and an ink pen.
"Alright. Mission make brother smile has now commenced." Jenna said with a strange look on her face.
"Did you need to say that?" Sheba asked with a sigh.
"Well, no. But I wanted to." Jenna said with a laugh before getting hit in the head with a pillow.
"Okay, time to start planning. There's less than a week before Halloween. We need to get these things done. And fast." Mia said as she started scribbling things down on the paper.
