Rene hung the last of the party decorations over the door and quickly put the ladder away. The tables were set with various edibles, the curtains were crisp and ironed, the paper decorations were festive and cute, and the year was about to change.

2017 though? What a strange number. She wondered what their calendar was based on. No matter, a celebration was always a good time.

"Hey," he said, grinning broadly as he kept apace with her, grabbing her hands as she sped up, "I can handle the heat. Any time, day or night. And if you need some proof, then I'll be happy to show you!"

As if to prove his point, he released her hands, gripped her waist, and lifted her up into the air, spinning her around leaving wisps of fire from her tail in a circle around them before setting her back down again.

He actually surprised her a bit with that move which made her feel ecstatic. A burst of cheerful laughter escaped her lips and her tail flame only grew stronger leaving a trail of fire in the air that made it seem a bit surreal in the dance floor. After a beat, she practically slithered around his body to stand beside him and smile before going back to dancing.

"Not bad Sparks, not bad."

[rivalthunderbolts]

"What can I say? I felt inspired," he teased happily, taking hold of her hips as they danced together. "It's nice to have friends who keep you on your toes!" he joked.

[blazebottom]

"Or partners who can keep up with ya," she smirked as she picked up into a much more mobile dance routine knowing that Jolt would be right there with her.

[rivalthunderbolts]

True to form, there he was, following right behind her. He could keep up with her, limitless ball of energy that he was. He laughed as he chased her around the dance floor, grinning and reaching for her as she kept just out of his reach.

[blazebottom]

She playfully continued the cat and mouse-styled dance routine, always keeping one step ahead willingly as they made waves through the small crowd. Eventually however, the beats slowed down some and she spun to a halt, sweat glistening on her exposed skin and her tailflame giving off a mellow glow.

"I luv you Jolt." she stated simply and yet with so much emotion behind it.

[rivalthunderbolts]

And when they stopped, Jolt was finally allowed to catch up with her. He brought his arms around her, kissing her softly. "And I love you, Riwane," he replied, smiling at her with such admiration.

[blazebottom]

"Good, don't you forgit it now," she joked with a joyous laugh and a tight hug linked to a quick kiss. She grabbed his hand and started to drag him away. "C'mon now, I wana see the show from up high. Maybe one of them nice balconies."

[rivalthunderbolts]

"Won't get any objections from me," he laughed as he followed her along, back up into the mansion, up the stairs, towards one of the balconies opening up near the roof. An excellent vantage point for anyone who wanted to observe the party below, or the fireworks that were going to launch up above.

[blazebottom]

Oddly enough finally finding a second to sit down, Riwane relaxed back on one of the lounge chairs that some students had brought up to the balcony and stretched.

"Ah~ So nice outside actually. The air is nice an' chill an' the sky couldn't be any gosh darn more clearer fur perfect fireworks."

[rivalthunderbolts]

Jolt pulled up one of the other lounge chairs to join her, and sat back with his arms crossed behind his head. "Aaah. Yep. Perfect firework weather! Just hope they don't blow up the courtyard or something like that!" he joked with a laugh.

[blazebottom]

Riwane pulled up a few drinks she had snuck away from the party and passed one over to Jolt. "To a great new year." she held her own in toast fashion, looking over at Jolt with a bright smile as the timer counted down closer to midnight.

[rivalthunderbolts]

"You really thought of everything," Jolt laughed, taking the glass from her and toasting her. "To a great new year!" he agreed, sipping his drink after the glasses clinked together. He reached over and took her hand, squeezing it as the countdown began.

"10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1..."

[blazebottom]

"BLAST OFF!" Riwane finished the countdown with a tackle-makeout attack that was right on the mark. She took a quick breather to laugh and look down at Jolt from the prone position. "Happy new year Sparkbutt."

[rivalthunderbolts]

Suddenly Jolt's chair was very much crowded, as Riwane practically tackled him for a big kiss. He spilled his drink, but he didn't care. He hugged around her middle as they made out in the chair for a few moments, and grinned broadly up at her. "Happy new year, Firetail."

[blazebottom]

They'd enjoy the fireworks and the make outs and the drinking and they both knew where it would lead them. All in all, Riwane thought it was a pretty darn good start to a promising new year.
