Carlos Pov:
"It's Independence day, one of the few holiday's that united people together as well for us to celebrate the work it took to make this kingdom work. It's even better with people from the isle showing off their ways of celebrating the holiday, since it involves shooting rockets up in the air and seeing a display of fireworks light up the sky. I've never did anything for the holiday since class work, trying to fit in and especially learning what other talents I got from my dad after learning he was a genius. With Jane helping out with the latest festivity, I've got a perfect idea on what I could do for the kingdom."
Fairy God Mother's home-Morning
Across the forest as well none other than Fairy God Mother's home was Jane who was right now working on several orders for tables, food and streamers since she's gotten to becoming a professional planner for Ben and Audrey. So far it's been a trouble for her in handling everything since most of the employees have either had to take the day off or gotten sick due to the heat.
"Please I know it seems rude to bring you in but I need your assistance."
Talking to someone on her phone as she didn't have that many people to help bring in the products. The half fairy woman waited for a response as she heard it threw the phone, which left her sadden.
"It's alright. Being related to Sleepy is hard, so having sleep problems is understandable. Have a good holiday."
Responding back as she hung up her phone and laid back on her chair frustrated at the help that was away from her. Looking at the outside she noticed how the sky looked calm, along the ideas of what could happened. Looking at her hand she wanted to try something more or less thinking about her other talents then managing events.
"Maybe."
Thinking about trying out her magic as she slowly closed her eyes thinking about something small, making flowers. Looking over to several seeds that were at the side of the table. Jane focused on the essence from within and think about what was inside the plant.
"Focus here, focus there. Make this seed bloom into something dear."
Coming up with a rhyme as she snapped her fingers making several of the seeds move about from the bag. Opening her eyes Jane saw how the seeds begun to scatter in a dancing manner. She smiled at the sight seeing how her magic was still strong, though suddenly the seeds began to crack slowly as well show vines.
"Oh no. Hang on please don't grow!"
Claiming in a worried tone as she tried to focus on making the seeds stop pushing out more veins from the shell. They begun to sprout like a forest slowly grasping across the table and spreading more until it reached the floor. It was wrapping all around the objects within the house as well coming to Jane. Trying to stop the spell, as it soon was about to wrap around her legs. That was until she heard the door knocking which made Jane panic.
"Mom?! If it's about not making it to the meeting with Jordan's mom about the fireworks I'm sorry. Kinda tied up at the moment."
Thinking that it was Fairy god mother stopping by to see her daughter, however the door opened where she saw a unsettling sight. Trickster, who was wearing shorts along a button shirt which was made by Evie. While having a custom made mask that helped keep the sun off his head who happened to see the living seeds trying to take over the house.
"I've never been called that, but at least it's more friendly then what I'm often called."
Stating to them as the seeds seemed to notice a new person in the house and tried to grapple around his legs. Seeing the sentient seeds coming after him, though he wasn't so frighten as he merely moved slowly out of the vines along making sure to avoid getting grabbed.
"Let me guess. Tried to make a salad and they began to revolt? Should've just bought a TV dinner."
Making a joke as he made it to the seeds where he grabbed them, grappling across his arm he quickly hurled it out where the vines came right off Jane's legs and flew right outside. Jane looked worried about how they could spread and possibly hurt some animals.
"Easy there princess, your knight and shining armor is handling it."
Assuring her about Carlos being outside which the two come out seeing the white and black haired VK crushing the seeds with his boot. Jane smiled of how over the past few months he's become much more noticed with his brilliant mind along helping out with Ben and other residence of the kingdom.
"Sorry for the late arrival, had to get some stuff from Miley's place. Just for the occasion, had to bring in Trick since he has a 'think' for explosives."
Explaining why he seemed to be so busy with gathering different materials and metals for the rocket display for tonight. Trick merely chuckled in a sarcastic manner towards how the one time he used a rocket he blew himself up.
"But at least I didn't involve making a next garden house out of your girlfriends house."
Pointing out that Jane was involved in making the seeds become sentient and about to consume the household. Carlos looked over to Jane to see if that was true in which she looked nervous about the idea. Deciding this was a relationship matter he decided to step to the side and handle with the objects that he had brought in. Meanwhile for Carlos he wanted to see if what Trick said was true.
"Yes I tried to use magic. But that's because I've got nobody to help me out, of course I've got you and the others but I wish to try and do something. Wicked."
Responding to her boyfriend about why she decided to use a different means in handle things than calling others. Carlos could see the stress that was on her face as well of how with this holiday being quite the bang with the fireworks. He knew how to help out with girlfriend in these type of matters.
"Well Wicked works both in different subjects, both magic. And science."
Giving her a smile as he pulled out his phone and pressed a button on the side. Sure enough several of the materials which involved handling fireworks and heavy objects. Around each one was a metal circle which sprouted several legs, coming right out of the wagon that was brought in. They begun walking into the house where they set themselves up along in the right position.
"It still surprises me about what you can do with that brain of yours."
Jane commenting that Carlos's intelligence has become more and more bigger each day. Along how he's been able to share most of his inventions with others, it was still surprising to see what else he could make.
"Not true, I mean your mom did help out with my education and especially being able to host good parties."
Responding as the two checked around to make sure everything was all coming together when it came to supplies and the right amount of fireworks. They could see with this kind of support they'd be able to get everything ready for the event tonight. However for Trick, he was being carried on a box while checking out Carlos's devices.
"Seriously Carlos. For a while I like the fact you didn't use those tentacles of yours to do your work. But now? I think it would help you get even more popular."
Thinking about the things he could make would be both easy for him and the others, though the white haired boy merely chuckled at the idea seeing it would be to much for the kingdom to know about his devices.
"And did you forget at how that I got those tentacles from the same guy that is a dangerous scientist with a octopus addiction? Along how he's leader of a group villains that would make our home into a playground?"
Asking Trick about that while most of the things he's been able to make, there some inventions that could put people in danger since his dad was basically a evil genius. Jane wasn't that well informed about his father due to the VK's keeping them a secret, though sure enough she and the others knew they would be dangerous if left here in Auradon.
"Right, right. The whole 'separation' between both worlds. But it doesn't help to use a few things in order to get by in life."
Stating to Carlos that while he could possibly make something that was octopus related and might do a lot of trouble. He glares at his friend about the comment as Trick decides to check out what would be perfect for the event and what might be to dangerous. Huffing in annoyance of that idea, Jane held his shoulder seeing how he might have the same problem like herself.
"Maybe in a strange way he's both right and wrong. We shouldn't ignore what our parents have given us but not exactly overuse it that much."
Offering some advice for Carlos that he shouldn't ignore most of the talent his dad had given him and that of his mother's sense of fashion. Jane could do the same with how she could use a bit of magic but also knowledge of forming important events with people and talking to them. Smiling at the advice the two shared a quick hug as well kiss, however the moment was interrupted by Trick who managed to make a small mess by the side which involved costumes.
"My bad. Just had to pick a good look for the event, especially when it involves the couple of the evening?"
Telling them about the right clothing he had managed to get for Carlos and Jane as the two looked surprised about how while his timing might be off. He had the right accessories which would be perfect for them. Accepting the suits, they heard a scuffling from outside which showed Dude running into the home with a cute Independence suit.
"Hi guys! I'm king of Auradon."
Announcing to them as it made them laugh seeing how the suit was made by Evie for the occasion. Seeing how they had the materials and objects, it was time to get started as well make sure the fireworks would go off well for tonight.
Ben's Castle-Night Time
With Carlos and Jane managing to help set up the rockets as well other accessories for the event. Everyone else came wearing different styles of clothing along matching the theme for the holiday. Checking out the place was both Ben and Audrey having that of new clothing as well seeing how everything was looking perfect for tonight.
"I heard that the others had quite the plan for the fireworks. It should be fun but also a bit louder than most independence days."
Informing Audrey that unlike the usual fireworks that would be set off at night, this would different since Mal had called the two talking about a plan for celebrating. While it was always amazing to see how Mal was being creative with Evie and Trick, Audrey would sometimes have a worried idea about what the dragon girl would suggest.
"What will make it different? Last year they only did some performances for the kids. However that sword stunt with Jay may have been rather overboard with them being lite on fire."
Remembering what happened last year when Jay and Lonnie performed a sword performance involved them using swords and fire which dazzled the audience. Which then ended accidentally set off the fireworks in a chaotic manner lighting up the sky. While the people believed it was on purpose it was by accident.
"At least it was quite the spectacular. Though I've made sure there aren't going be any sword play or anything involving weapons. This is going be handled in a professional manner."
Assuring Audrey that it would be different from like last year, to which they heard some voices from the side which showed Harold and the heroes in training which they had several things with them such as home made rockets for the occasion. Especially Ruby in which had her family's sun symbol which seemed to be made for the occasion.
"Hope you don't mind but we got some fireworks of our own we wanted to use for the event."
Harold showing off his Olympian firework as well which made Ben smile seeing how all were welcome to try out their own types of fireworks for the event. Sure enough numerous other people began to arrive with different types of meals along accessories that would be used during the event. It was amazing to see how everyone both hero and villain alike coming together in spite of how much has happened.
"It looks great dear."
A voice form behind both Ben and Audrey as it was his mother who had Adam as well Fairy god mother. They wanted to see how things were proceeding and that things seemed ready for the festivities to start. On the side was Jay with Lonnie along Carlos and Jane as the four were walking over and waved to Ben trying to get their attention.
"Hey your majesty! Nice moment your having, bet the fireworks are going be quite the scene."
Jay thinking about with how many people had brought different types of rockets to the event. It would make the audience smile and praise the creativity that would be shown tonight. Nodding the response Ben noticed by his father's hand which seemed to be a note for him, which seemed to be for the moment as well how it seemed important that this was said for everyone attending the event.
"Your mother helped me write it, as well got a few things from Mal as well."
Telling him as the letter was a mixture of what to say for the event which made Ben smile at the mention of how Mal had a hand in this. Making sure his throat was cleared along noticing everyone gathered to the front in seeing him and the others. He took a deep breath as well looked straight forward ready to say what was written on the paper.
"Today, is like every other day. We met, we talk to one another as well enjoy the company we have. Most of the time."
Reading off from the paper which made some of the audience laugh seeing how it was mostly like that in Auradon. Ben smiling at the joke he looked at the other sentences seeing there was much more serious things to talk about.
"However, this was the same day when our kingdoms came together to form a new Independence for where everyone is equal. For a while we believed things would be like this, until several years ago we made a mistake. And locked away people we never expect to be standing by our side right now."
Referring to the villains that once made many people believed would try and takeover or worse. Though after a hard road of understanding between one another, let alone sacrifices and challenges that nobody would expect to overcome. They managed to get threw it.
"Today that same independence we once made, is stronger than ever. And much more bigger than anyone would ever dream of. Which is I'm glad to see everyone here, for us to celebrate as one group."
Expressing his joy that seeing everyone together after years of separation between good and evil. Most of the group cheered at the words Ben said and at how it reflected about that while it's still strange that both sides could get along, things seemed better than ever.
"So to honor the union on this day, we light up the night color and fires. To show all across the world, that Auradon is United as one!"
Announcing to the people as everyone cheered for Ben as it was the signal for Carlos to start off the moment. Amongst the fire works was Dude who had managed to grab the rockets with his teeth and put them in the exact spot for them to go up into the air. Everyone saw how the school mutt was placing each one in the ground along making sure they were aimed up in the air. Sitting by one of the rockets, he begun to scratch his collar.
"Man this thing is really itchy."
Stating as he continued to scratch his collar until it breaks right underneath his paw. A spark came flying off along hitting the line, to which soon enough they sizzled right up to the bud's which set off the rockets. Everyone saw how high they went up in the air, though before they could see each one blow up. One of the blew up by a ball of fire, to which wasn't by the fuse. It was by Mal who as in her dragon form, everyone gasped at the purple scaled reptile along both Evie and Trick wearing that of a maiden and jester's outfit for the day.
"Independence for all! And free bugs!"
Trick shouting in the air as well throwing several fire flies in the air which lite up the sky above them along the fire works at the same time. Everyone was amazed of how Mal was breathing fire along doing aerial spins in the air. Trick and Evie held on tight seeing how everyone was applauding towards them for what was going on.
"We seriously owe Mal big time for this."
"Just make sure it doesn't involve handcuffs. Cause she went over board with that."
The two discussing how Mal was a bit suspicious about the idea of her doing stunts in her dragon form. Though result seemed rather amazing, since on the ground they saw how Mal was blowing up the fire works causing the sky to light up in color. Meanwhile for Fairy God Mother who watched the display, smiled at her daughter for setting this all up.
"Way to go dear, couldn't have done it better myself with magic."
Stating to how Jane was amazing with this performance as well planning it. Though she also had help from Carlos and the others seeing how while it's extraordinary for her to make something like this happen, it was more fantastic with help from her boyfriend and her friends. Which made this Independence day much more amazing then the last.
Happy Independence Day everyone, hope you all used sparklers and fountains to light up the night and to show it off to your loved ones and friends alike. See ya soon!
