"…There it is again! Do you hear that?"
Sheik was finding this all too amusing and I was beginning to lose my temper a bit. "That is only the fireworks test. Have you truly never been to the show? It is held every year during summer. It's one of my favorite events."
I wasn't too sure I liked this… All that booming made me nervous somehow. Maybe Sheik could sense this; her eyes seemed to twinkle with an idea.
"Come see the show with me. I know a good spot."
"I don't know…"
"You'll be fine. I promise."
I really didn't want to go, but I also didn't want to lose the opportunity to spend an evening with her, so I accepted.
"It's a date, then," and she winked at me. I didn't know she could be so playful, but I kind of liked that. She was stern most of the time, so it was nice seeing her loosen up.
The spot she referred to was atop a hill overlooking the lake. Down below sat everyone else. Right at 7:00 pm the show commenced, filling the night sky with a vast mix of multicolored explosions like I've never seen before. And that noise… My hand instinctively found hers, grasping it. But as we continued to watch the fireworks, a pleasant feeling came over me and I began to relax.
Her fingers interlocked with mine. "I'm glad you're enjoying our date."
I blinked. "W-wait, you were serious?"
She chuckled and suddenly clammed up, leaving me guessing.
