Sorry all, I would have had this chapter up last night, but I sprained my ankle at Youth Group…cause I'm smart like that. I've never had a sprained ankle before! It was rather exciting! Anyway, more was gonna happen in this chapter, but I decided to save it for the climactic ending! Enjoy!

Chapter six: Fire (works) and Ice (cream)
Pietro drove Lance's jeep up to a shabby looking shop. "Here we are!" He said, smiling as he got out of the car.
"This is, like, your great idea?" Kitty asked, eyeing the shop, "What are we gonna do? Throw rocks at the windows?"
"Don't judge a book by its cover Kit-Kat, you should know that!" Pietro said, as he walked to the front of the shop, "This is the greatest firework shop in the world! Only a few people know its here, and I happen to be one of them."
"Fireworks, awesome!" Todd yelled, hopping up and down in excitement.
"You guys can get the fireworks, I'm, like, gonna get some ice cream." Kitty said, pointing to the ice cream shop across the street.
Lance smiled and took Kitty's hand. "I'll go with you."
Freddy, who was torn between the awesome power of fireworks and the wonders of ice cream, stood confused for a second. He suddenly realized the obvious choice and ran across the crosswalk after Kitty and Lance.
Pietro led Todd to the door of the shop and knocked.
"Who is it?" A gruff voice asked from inside.
"It's Pietro." A peep hole opened and a second later the door opened revealing a tall, bald, old man.
"Hullo Pietro!" The shop owner said in a much friendlier voice then before. "Nice to see you again and I see you brought a friend with you!" He smiled and led them inside, "Very good, I have some new products to show you."

Scott growled as Lance, Kitty, and Freddy walked into the ice cream shop.
Kitty smiled and headed over to the two mutants in the corner while Freddy and Lance got in line for their ice cream.
"Hey guys!" Kitty exclaimed when she got to Jean and Scott's table, "What are you up to?"
"Just hanging out," Jean answered, smiling.
"Where are the other two losers?" Scott asked.
Jean slapped his arm but Kitty didn't seem to notice. "They're, like, shopping across the street." Kitty answered.
"There aren't any shops over there?" Scott stated as he stood up, "I'm gonna go see what they're up to!"
Kitty and Jean rolled their eyes in unison as Scott ran out of the shop.
Lance walked up with Kitty's ice cream and the two of them walked to the other side of the shop to sit together.
Freddy shrugged and took Scott's empty seat next to Jean.
"So, uh, Freddy," Jean started, "How's life treating you?"
Freddy shrugged and swallowed a huge mouthful of ice cream, "Can't complain." He took another bite of his ice cream and looked at Jean. "How are things with Scott?"
Jean sighed, "Good, I guess. He's a bit of an overprotective, anal-retentive, drill sergeant but other than that things are fine."
"Does he hit you?" Freddy asked.
"What? No he…"
"Cause if he hits you I'll kill him!" Freddy yelled, jumping out of his chair.
"Freddy!" Jean shouted, "No, he doesn't hit me! Now sit down, your making a scene."
Freddy sat down, took a few deep breaths, and started eating his ice cream. He was unaware of the entire shop staring at him.
Just as the people went back to their normal conversations, Scott ran into the shop. "Look at what they were buying!" Scott yelled, holding out a handful of fireworks.
Jean rolled her eyes, "They're just fireworks."
"Just fireworks!" Scott yelled, "These are high powered explosives!"
"You're such a loser Scott!" Kitty yelled. She grabbed the fireworks out of Scott's hands and stormed out of the shop with Lance and Freddy at her heals.
Jean glared at Scott, "Great, now she's mad at you!"
Scott sighed, "They're gonna kill her."
