You say light a fire and they show up with oil.

Just like it's on me what happens down here.

Mylo pulled Maya onto the roof, leaving Powder to fend for herself as he stabilized his sister and tugged her away from the blue haired girl, shooting her a look of anger. Maya could never figure out why he had such distaste for the young girl but then again she was never really left alone with her either so something definitely was wrong with her.

"One of these days I'm gonna ride one of those" Powder said pointing towards a balloon, making Mylo snort and make finger guns, pointing at the same thing "one of these days I'm gonna shoot one down" Maya didn't say anything just admired the view.

Vi was the first one to go, she slid down the rafters and caught onto the roof, swinging snd landing on the edge of the balcony before jumping across the the roof right next to them.

Mylo eyes Maya before going first, showing how to do it and smirking at her once landing on the other roof, getting slightly startled as Claggor landed next to him seconds later. Eating a cupcake.

"You didn't get me one" Mylo complained before looking over at Maya expectantly, silently urging her to beat Powder at this. Trying to show her older brother she was worth it, she slid down, her heart jumping into her throat when she stumbled and nearly went over.

"MAYA" Mylo screamed as he watched her teeter over the edge, going to jump back when Powder grabbed her hand and pulled her back so she stabilized. Once she did, she harshly grabbed her hand away and jumped down onto the balcony, grabbing two cupcakes, one for her and one for Mylo.

She pushed off and was caught by her brother,  his hands caught her arms and smiled, she offered him the cupcake and he took it with glee, licking the icing off. Before Maya took I bite, she looked at Powder frozen on the first roof "I told you Vi" Mylo said his mouth full "I'll go get her" Claggor supplied as he was about to jump.

"No wait, Powder remember what I told you" Vi shouted to her sister, and Maya looked at Powder whisper something to herself before very slowly, sliding the roof and copying everyone's actions very shakily.

Powder jumped, her foot slipping and she slowly fell backwards, Mayas breath caught in her throat, Vi shot forward and caught her sister.

Maya let the breath she was holding go and everyone started walking, both the young girls in the back, she felt bad and held out the cupcake to the blue haired girl.

Powder stared at her with confusion before slowly taking it, what Maya expected was for her to eat it, what she wasn't expecting was for the girl to pull it in half and give one half back to her.
