*March 1st*

[Most of the months and the four seasons gather at the center of the Sphere. March, May, and Spring stand in the center circle, holding hands and looking at the sky.]

May: It's SPRING'S TIME!

[A pink beam shoots into the sky, causing the snow all around to begin to melt, as the clouds begin to clear away. The ritual stops, as May excitedly exits the Sphere and jumps in the fields of flowers.]

March: It'd be a lot cooler if April was here for this.

[Spring sighs and gently smiles.]

Spring: Try your best to look upon the positive side. It's your 16th birthday, you know.

March: You're right! I can drive now!

September: I'm not sure that's something to look forward to, at least not for us.

March: Hey, I can drive better than you!

September: I doubt that.

March: Whatever.

[May then comes running in, full of ebullience.]

May: Look! I found something in the sky!

[Everyone goes out of the Sphere and May points to a red balloon far in the sky above.]

September: That's wonderful!

November: Such a waste of helium, but I do concede that it's a symbolic sight.

March: Wait... this gives me an idea! We should all have a balloon fight!

September: I'll pass. I have homework to do.

November: Same. We should work together!

September: Alright.

[The two leave.]

March: Alright, well, whoever wants to join can come follow me to town! We'll buy the supplies and set up the battlefield in the north fields.


[A broken stone tower still stands high in the fields, as March pops up on the top. He picks up a deflated balloon, and magically fills it up with water. He holds back his arm, steadying the balloon in his palms, then launches it towards June, who fails to avoid it.]

March: SAVAGED!

[June gets up, rubbing his head. March ducks behind bricks and looks down the stairs at July.]

March: Stop eating watermelons, we're in the middle of a war right now!

[July smacks her lips.]

July: Ugh, fine.

March: Here, catch!

[He tosses her a balloon, but she misses and it splashes on her.]

July: M...MARCH!

[July picks up a balloon and throws it at March in anger, but March, with his hydrokinesis, throws the balloon to the right and off the tower before it could get to him.]

March: We don't have time to fight each other. Let's head down and see how December is doing.

[The two walk downstairs and find December standing at the entrance of the fort.]

March: Alright, December. July and I are going offensive, so eh... keep doing what you're doing.

December: Okay.

[March and July pick up a few balloons in their arsenery, and begin marching out onto the fields. Using his powers, March causes the water balloons to float above the two. They eventually reach the top of a hill, with an outlook view of the other fort. On top of the fort, May is looking through small binoculars, seeing March and July talking to each other. August is drawing on her sketchpad.]
