Chapter 3: Fire, the Ultimate Party Toy
Sherry watched Renata as she poofed and re-poofed. Quite amazed by this ability. She brushed it off for the mean time and grabbed at the food offered in front of Cassie, "Food!" and sunk back into the water hoping that the jets would relive the tension on her sore muscles. "You took my food! That was my food! The food was mine and supposed to be in my tummy! And now I have no food! And my food is going into her belly!" Cassie pouted. "And now I sound like mojo-jojo." She made a face and scowled at Sherry. "Evil food stealer!" Renata rolled her eyes and then ported to the food table and moved the entire table next to the spa in order to keep everyone happy. Cassie looked up and saw... food! And a blue fuzzy, but there was food! "FOOD!" she attacked some food and dragged select items into the water for munching. "I have food and you don't Sherry! Haha!" Sherry rolled her eyes. "Geez... all this over food. Eh? What the hell am I talking about?" Sherry bothered to move herself out of the water and sloshing water here and there, grabbed her own share of food. She plopped back into the water and stuck her tongue out at Cassie. Cassie responded in kind, and then returned to the food. This deemed her out of commission unless poked. As Sabrina walked top the table to get the watermelon that she never got, a rock dame flying toward her. She quickly phased and looked into the direction that it had come from. As the rock landed on the floor next to her, a boy came out of the shadows. Dallas was apologizing to Sabrina and Renata turned around. "Nice one Py-- er Dallas. You know, there ARE other ways to get my attention." Pyro looked at her but showed no signs of shame but rather of mischievous pleasure. Renata rolled her eyes but Dallas suddenly looked stricken. "Renata! You're, you're, YOURSELF! They know you now! What did they do? I'll deal with these girls for you..." And he pulled out his lighter. Renata rolled her eyes. "You pull out that lighter and I'll port you to oblivion got it? 'Sides, I can take care of myself." Dallas made no move to put away the lighter but rather studied the girls in the spa and wondered if they could be trusted. He opened his lighter. "PYRO! YOU PULL ANYTHING AND I SWEAR I'LL KILL YOU!" Renata shouted. Sabrina eyed the lighter suspiciously. "And what EXACTLY do you plan on doing with a LIGHTER? I mean for one thing...this is private property and trespassers will be prosecuted," she said haughtily as she pointed at a rule sign. "And two, we are kinda at a pool, so fire would be kinda useless, don't you think?" Pyro smirked at Sabrina. "Trespassers will be prosecuted," he mimicked. It took one glare from Renata to shut him up however. "Sorry guys," Renata apologized. "He's usually not like that." Renata glared at Pyro again and he apologized to Sabrina. Pyro smirked again. "You'd be surprised what I can do with this little ol' lighter." "Pyro, I swear you use that lighter." But it was too late. Pyro opened the lighter and a huge ball of flame formed over the girl's heads. "Pyro...." Renata said warningly. "Fire?! Fiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiire!!!! GIMME FIRE!" Cassie touched the fire and burned her finger. "ACK! You evil person! Gimme fire!" she glared. Pyro looked at Renata sheepishly and withdrew the ball of flame to a small fist-sized that he held in his hand. "You gotta admit, that was pretty cool. At least, those two seemed to be fascinated with it." He gestured towards Sherry and Cassie. Renata rolled her eyes. "They're fascinated with fire period." Sherry stared in amazement at the fire, but she dared not touch it. She was rather put off by the fact that he put it out and pouted. "Who isn't awed by fire?! Fire is...shiny!" and that was Cassie's input. And since she's God, that was the word. And everyone rejoiced, lol... "That's a rather useful and highly entertaining skill, I must say," Sherry said with a nod. She was very impressed and wished that she could play with fire too. In all this amusement of fire, phasing, and uhh... blue fuzziness, no one noticed that the spa that once had bubbles, no longer had bubbles. Sherry was upset with this new development and thought that it needed to be remedied. "Uhm... Dal-- err Pyro," Sherry grinned. "Would you be kind as to push the button over there," she pointed, "and start the bubbles again?" Because we all know how much Sherry likes bubbles. Pyro looked at Sherry then at Renata and pushed the button. As soon as Pyro hit the button, the wonderful bubbles in the spa commenced once again. Though, something was wrong. Terribly wrong. The surrounding area changed. The lights all along the street shut off. The girls, and Pyro, were thrown into darkness but the bubbles in the spa continued. The water in the spa swirled around and around and around... All everyone could do was stare at the water's motion. The swirling started to pick up speed and the wind around the girls and Pyro started to swirl with it. Every shrieked out in terror and confusion. "What's happening?" Sherry screamed out to no one in particular. "It looks like some kind of gateway," said Sabrina semi-calmly "Gateway? How the hell would you know!?!" Sherry retorted back in a haughty way. Before Sabrina could respond, Sherry, as well as everyone else, was thrown off their feet and into shadow.
