Day 31: Fireworks

🚀🚀🚀

"Keith! Where are we going? ": Katie grumbled, leaning without desire and breath on the railing of the Garrison stairs, drying her forehead and neck covered with hair and drying them on the dress.

"Move, Katie! We will lose the launch! ": Keith exclaimed, taking her by the hand to help her climb the stairs faster. They arrived on the roof of the Garrison: thousands of solar panels and antennas in sight, in the center a small corridor made almost on purpose for their passage. All the other officials and the cadets were at the launching track for the Kerberos mission, and for children like them it was impossible to see something compared to the high adults, moreover nobody could see them up there.

"Wow!": Katie exclaimed, being careful not to lean out too much and fall, the desert and the track before her eyes. She could see the spaceship very well where her father, her brother and Shiro were going up the Kerberos mission.

"Yeah ...": Keith approached, standing next to her and waiting patiently when the sequence of the launch began. In a few minutes, the spaceship had flown to heaven, followed by a bright trail like fireworks. He had never seen the departure of an spaceship, but he did not imagine it was so amazing in live. His finger joined Katie's, the daughter of the commander Sam Holt and sister of Matt Holt. He had always heard of her, especially from Matt and Shiro, about how intelligent and pretty ... maybe pretty was something he had decided himself, at that moment.

"We will see us soon, Dad and Matt ...": she said, looking at the sky with a smile, drying a tear from the eyes, the hair that flew away with the wind created by the launch.

"You will miss them a lot, I imagine ...": he sighed, continuing to look at the sky.

"Yes ...": she sighed, the slightly disappeared smile, turned and looked at him: "But I'll have you! You will also miss Shiro, I assume, but we will have the mutual company ... "

Keith chuckled, facing her and lengthening his hand. She tightened her strong.
