(TOMORROW, THE CAMPERS WOKE UP AND WENT OUTSIDE)

Sophia: What happened? I missed a lot of things... Kind of...

Fayt: (Sarcastically) Well, some of us asked Roger and then started spanking each other.

Sophia: (Angry and disgusted) Hey! That sounds really wrong! (Blushes)

Fayt: (Flirting) Of course, you're right. It didn't happen.

Welch: Hello my pesky little contestants! The day of your wishes has finally come! Unfortunately, as I've would explain, the shooting star won't be a literal shooting star. Instead, it will be a meteor shower which will fall from the sky. At least you'll all be in good company when it comes to stars, I hear they're called fireballs for a reason.

Faize: ...

Sophia: No, no, and no! (Angry again) I'm not jumping into some pile of burning explosives!

Welch: There's no need to pout like that, kid. This isn't a choice between suffering or letting yourself die without dignity. (To the others) Alright, let's pick up and do the magic ritual.

(As they leave to the ritual place, Fayt turns to Sophia. He whispers to her and she gets an angry look on her face again. Though now it's directed at him and she's pouting as usual. Though this time it's not from his flirting.)

Fayt: This is one of the reasons why I don't like you. You're ruining my fun.

Sophia: You better go! We have a challenge to do!

Fayt: (Scowling) Fine.

Sophia: Don't give me that look...

(They leave. Welch enters in a building without ceiling, lights some herbs, and begins the ceremony. She tells them all to focus on the sky, and that the meteor shower will affect all of them. She begins to speak in some kind of language they don't obviously know, does something with her hands. It starts glowing, and for a moment the room gets very dim. Then...)

Welch: Okay, everyone! Listen up! The magic has begun to summon a meteor to impact over here! Lemme do the depiction of what you must do!

(She begins drawing stuff on a piece of parchment, then speaks in the same language as before while pointing to the sky and then herself. Then she mutters something in another language, and a shower of gray sparkles appears above them. She points to the air and then towards Fayt, then towards herself, then towards Meracle, then towards Reimi, and then towards someone else.)

Welch: That's it! Let's go! The showers will start any moment now!

(Stars begin to fill the air and the sky turns to a night sky. Lights are shining and they felt immersed.)

Meracle: Wow... it looks already so pretty...!

Fayt: Oooh... that's neat.

(Later, it's getting weird and not beautiful anymore. The sky above them start to lose its stars, and the sparks widen. Then, in an instance, a rain of falling fireballs hit the entire group. Arumat withstood the firestorm better than anyone could have, but the others were heavily burned several times. A few of them hit a near forest on fire. Luckily, the fireball rain became smaller and only lasted a few seconds. There was no sound, either, other than the building burning. Yes, the building they are inside is burning actually.)
