The engine from Travis' old, worn truck is heard across the neighborhood. It drags itself through the street, carrying goods from miles away.

Laurance, Garroth, Aphmau, and Katelyn quickly run up to the vehicle, excitement shinning bright in their eyes. Garroth glances into the bed of the truck, inspecting dangerous, colorful fireworks.

"Where are my Roman Candles?!" Katelyn shuffles through boxes of explosives, looking for her favorite type of firework.

"They're right here, hon," Travis shuts the door to his truck and hands Katelyn a large pack of Roman Candle fireworks.

She tears through the packaging like a kid on Christmas, "Nice!"

"Did you get a grand finale?" Laurance asks Dante, helping him unload the haul.

Dante smirks, "Oooh Yeah, we got a HUGE finale to end 2016."

"How much did you spend?" Aphmau ponders, glaring at Aaron.

"Oh... well umm... You see Aph..." Aaron slowly pulls out the recite, but Dante tears it from his grip and shoves it in Travis' mouth. Travis shrivels up his face before slowly swallowing the recite. He shivers at the horrid taste.   

"Let's not worry about that right now," He nervously laughs.

Garroth falls to the ground in laughter, "You guys are priceless!" He wipes the tears from his eyes before laughing even harder. Laurance finds his giggling contagious, so he too begins to laugh uncontrollably. Soon enough the whole gang is laughing, and Travis just stands there with a pail and confused look on this face.

                                                             ~

"How do you use one of these?" Garroth asks Laurance, holding one of Katelyn's 5-shot Roman Candles.

Laurance walks over to him, hands in his pockets. "You just point it into the air and the fireworks shoot out," He explains.

He carefully points the Candle to the night sky, "Like this?"

Laurance inspects him. "Yeah but, you might want to point it higher," He wraps his hand around Garroth's, "And step to the side so the sparks won't get you." He places a hand on Garroth's waists and shifts his weight to the side. Luckily, the night's darkness hides Garroth's red face.

Laurance lights the Roman Candle and aids Garroth with the explosive. He has him shoot it in many directions before the firework burns out.

"That was cool!" Garroth shouts. He tosses the empty tube into the pile of used fireworks.

Laurance smiles, heart beating a little faster than normal.  

                                                               ~

"Do it!" Aphmau chants, "Do it!"

Laurance's and Garroth's faces blush a dark hue of red.

"Come on! It's almost time!" Kawaii~ Chan squeals.

Everyone begins to count down...

10... 9... 8... 7...

Laurance and Garroth lock eyes.

6... 5... 4...

They take in a deep breath.

3... 2... 1...

"HAPPY NEW YEAR!"
The two boys' lips lightly press together, they smile under the kiss.

Everyone cheers and drinks their toast.

"This new year is going to be the best,"
Garroth tells Laurance with reassurance.

"And why do you say that?" Laurance asks, drinking the rest of his toast.

      "Because I got you to spend it
with."
