"Superior! Superior!! Superior, come quick!!"
Number I turned his amber eyes upward to see the mullet-mohawk haired boy's head peeking around the corner of his office door. The boy's jade eyes were wild and wide with apparent excitement, matching the grin plastered on his face.
Xemnas sighed, "What is it, Demyx?"
The boy smiled wider, if possible. "You have to come see this, Superior!" He exclaimed, "it's amazing!!"
And with that, the boy took off running.
Xemnas rolled his eyes and contemplated going to see what all the ruckus was about. True, there had been a few amazing sights brought to his attention that he simply enjoyed, but then again there were quite a few times where he had not been pleased at all—
BANG!! BANG!!
Loud, sharp sounds filled the air, like the sound of exploding gunfire.
The silver haired man raised an eyebrow, curiously. That didn't sound like Number II's guns, and he was the only one who used a firearm of any sort. After a moment or two of contemplation, he could hear loud bangs again. Xemnas quickly opened a portal and stepped through, determined to find out what was going on.

The man's portal opened up outside, to the source of the loud bangs. He looked around, to see all of the Organization's members outside, staring up at the sky.
He narrowed his eyes ever so slightly, "What is goin—"
BANG!!
Turning his eyes to the sky, Xemnas' mouth gaped a little.
The normally pitch-black was littered with bright, colorful sparks of light. A small ball of flame rose up afterwards, and exploded with an identical loud bang. Fiery sparks spread outwards in multicolored light, glittering and sparkling until they fell downwards and faded from sight.
The man found himself nearly speechless at this marvel. "W-what is this?"
Number IX squealed happily. "Fireworks!"
"…fireworks?"
"Yes." Marluxia crossed his arms and stared up into the sky. "Axel happened to come across a kit that allows one to create these."
Number VI smiled faintly, brushing a bit of his slate hair from his eyes. "A magnificent sight, no?"
Xemnas grinned. "Indeed."
And for that one moment, as long as the fire kept exploding in the sky, all they could focus on were the fireworks. Not who they were, or their work. Not even their hearts.
Tonight, only the fireworks mattered.

Of course I felt the need to do a drabble in honor of today!
