Chapter 4: Are We Ready Yet?
"Here are the rest of the fireworks," Garet carefully set down another crate full of explosives.
Kyle was surprised at the sheer amount that Garet and Jenna had been able to conjure. "Where did you two get all of these?"
"Just a little bit of subdued Mars Psynergy wrapped in paper!" Jenna looked extremely proud. "Um, sir, could you...keep the other Mars Adepts away from here? It could get a bit dangerous."
Even as the words came out of her mouth, a Mars Adept wandered a little to closely. One of the boxes started smoking ominously. Jenna yelped and sat on the box, her fingers glowing red. "See what I mean?!"
"Right," Kyle nodded. He turned to the rest of the group. "All Mars Adepts, clear this area!"

Felix and Mia came up the slope, Sheba and Ivan in tow, carrying armfuls of packages.
"Here are all of the gifts, where do you want them?" Mia asked Kyle.
"Um...over there on that table," Kyle pointed. The four Adepts complied quickly.
"Well, I have to admit," Kyle said, watching a few people Dora had recruited bring up food on big platters, the cake on a rather large one being carried by two of Vale's bulkier residents. "We really know how to throw a party."
"Are we ready yet?" Isaac asked.
"We will be in a few minutes," Kyle nodded.
