At the Fire Place, Ember was way up early as she was working hard on putting on Stickers on the Various Items cause today's Red Dot Sale and it was almost time to open.

She stops at the front door as she adjust her Red Dot Sale Pin into the right position, she takes a deep breath as she said herself. "Take a breath. Calm as a candle... " She roll up the shade on the door window as she is shock to see so many Fire People waiting to be inside. 

However she remains to stay calm as she opens the door, "Morning! Welcome to the Fire Place--" But the Customers were in a rush as they began their buying from the Fire Place.

One small Customer tries to take a can from a pyramid full of cans from the Bottom, but Ember intervene "Whoa! Whoa! They're all stack at the same! Just take one from the top!" She grab one as she handed to the customer, "Thanks for shopping!" She went tend the other customers,

One customer came to her at the counter placing down a pile of Red Dot stickers , "So many sticker for sale!" He said excitedly, Ember was dismay. 

Another customer was sweating a shelf full of fragile items into her basket,  "Are these fragile?" Ember tries to stop her "No wait!!" She was too late, as some were smash into pieces, she stiffed as she is trying to calm down.

Next one was  about to eat a log and he didn't pay, Ember manages to grab it before he chomp it down. "You have to pay before you can eat it." Which the Customer did as Ember put the money in the Cash Register. 

Morning pass in a blur and the Customers never stops as they all have questions for her, as the ringing never stop and Ember is trying cool down as her father wished.  

A customer holds a T-Shirt, "Does this come in a larger?"

A another customer holds a item "What's your return policy?"

She gritted her teeth as she continues saying to herself, "Make connection..."

Another customer holding a Tea Kettle and heating it, "Mind if I test  this kettle?"

It was too much that it starting make Ember turn purple as she was about to burst and she is gritted her teeth and she began running towards the basement, but not before telling the customers "Be back in 5 minutes!!" 

She  made it down to the basement and the moment she got there is when she has let it out with a fiery blast.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

When the smoke clears, the basements has burn  marks of the explosion and everything was move around by the explosion as Ember was recovering, she was interrupted by a rattling noise from a pipe that is near her.  On the top, Customers started to notices the pipes above them which they are concern and confused.

Ember watches as the pipe suddenly crack and water shot out and into her eyes, "Ow!" She cries in pain as she moves out of the way and more water started to gush out of the pipe and quickly flooded the basement, Ember saw this and was in a panic as the situation was gonna get worst.

In quick thinking, she grabs an umbrella and use it as a shield to block the water as she heads toward it. Once there, she starts heating on the metal surround the hole to weld it and try to seal it up, she took a struggle but manages to seal up the hole; stopping the water.
