"So have you decided yet?" Chad's wings were opening and closing anxiously as the trio headed through windian park."Huh? Decided what?" Jason blinked in wonder. Chad just groaned loudly and shook his head with a chuckle.
"Dude! Where has your mind been today?! It's you're birthday, right?"
"Oh yea!" Jason shrugged and rubbed his thumb over his fingertips. "Guess I just haven't figured out what I want to burn yet."
"Well, you need to figure out something soon so we can get started before it gets too late into the day." David popped his knuckles as he and Chad exchanged nods.
"Alright alright alright, I get the picture." Jason tapped Chad on the shoulder and motioned to the windian with a wave of his hand. "Dude, spin me around a second." The brown winged windian gave his friend a curious look. Jason just closed his eyes and stuck out his finger, and with a shrug Chad began to rotate him around in place. After a few seconds he stopped and Jason opened his eyes to see what he was pointing at.
In Windia, there are small fountains, slightly similar to the large one that decorated the front of Windian Park. The fountains ranged in size and decoration, depending on what part of Windia they were in. In Upper Windia, the fountains were generally large enough for atleast one person to actually be able to sit on their edges without getting drenched from the water. Central Windia was full of medium sized fountains, their bowls decorated with different designes. Lower Windia had much wider fountains that were a lot closer to the ground, and these things were often places that many childeren liked to go and play in during hot days. The fountains served many purposes. Their clean and flowing water was able to help people clench their thirsts and cool off on warm days. The fountains served as a huge attraction for small birds that often perched around them for drinks and baths. Basically, the fountains were there for whatever purpose someone may want it for. Today, however, they seemed to have a very special purpose indeed.
"Right. We're burning the fountains." Jason went back to rubbing his thumb over his fingertips as his friends exchanged glances.
"Dude..." Chad stroked his goattee. "Are you talking about the fountain itself or the water in it?"
Jason considered the question for a moment. "I think... the water. Yea, it'd look pretty cool to see burning water in those fountains." Once again his two friends exchanged glances before Chad shrugged and grinned.
"Dude, alright! C'mon, let's run by my house. I'll grab my Chem book, can whip up something in the basement really quick and we can get started." The brown-winged windian chuckled as he and his friends headed over to his house. About an hour later, the windian had managed to create an undefinable liquid substance that had a strange smell to it, and three hours later just about every fountain in Windia was up in flames.
"Man, I stil can't believe we haven't gotten in trouble for this." David waited as Chad shook in a few drops of the mystery liquid before he tossed a match into the fountain and the water caught fire. Jason looked around for anyone who may be nearby.
"Well... it may have to do with the fact that we've been avoiding most poeple..."
"Yea but... what.. I think we've hit most of the fountains by now." Chad glanced at what was left of the liquid in the bottle he was carrying it in. "Dude, you'd think that by now someone would notice?"
"What the fuck is that shit anyway?" Jason looked at the colorless liquid curiously. Chad just chuckled and shrugged his wings.
"Little bit of this, little bit of that... anyway, dude, I think we've gotten most of the fountains and we've still got all of this left. Now what?" The three exchanged glances and silently agreed on their last victim before they turned and headed to the park.
* * * "Dude..." Jason took a step back and watched as the liquid in the giant fountain of Nina the first went up in flames. "That has got to be the coolest sight in the world..."
"Uh, guys, I think we need to get out of here now." David glanced around uneasily and the three took off running into the park hoping that no one was nearby to have watched their act. Satisfied that they had gone far enough, Chad took one last look at the empty bottle before he shrugged his wings and stroaked his goattee.
"Well, that was definantly interesting. Jason, you got burning out of your system yet?"
"I will never have burning out of my system." Jason rubbed his thumb over his fingertips causing his friends to chuckle.
"Dude," Chad shook his head. "You are such a pyro." Jason replied with his normal glare before David cleared his throat and popped his knuckles.
"So um, how long is all of that going to be burning anyway?"
Chad stroaked his goattee in thought before replying. "Um.... good question... think it should burn out in a few hours. I mean, it's all burning on water after all..."
"Shit, think this is going to fuck up our water system?" Jason scratched the back of his head as he cast a curious glance at his two friends. Chad just shrugged and David groaned.
"Man, aren't these questions we should be asking before we pull off these stunts?"
Chad chuckled at the large windian, his wings flexing. "Dude, hindsight is always 20/20, right?"
"Ah well." Jason shrugged. "So if we screw over the water system, we screw over the water system. Either way, it was worth it to see every fountain in Windia burning like that." The red-haired windian chuckled. "You've gotta admit, that's like.. something you don't see every day."
"Three times a year maybe." Chad grinned. "Dude, nah, I don't think we've double one birthday stunt yet..."
"That's because we just keep coming up with dumber and dumber things to do each year." David chuckled. "You know, for my next birthday, I think I want to do something really stupid..."
"Dude, when you say stupid," Chad raised an eyebrow at his friend. "Do you mean 'burning fountains' stupid or something else?"
David chuckled. "Just something really stupid. Not like, dangerous stupid like we usually do, just stupid stupid."
"So what kind of stupid do you have in mind?" Jason stretched and leaned against a nearby tree. David popped his knuckles, thinking.
"Man, I wanna head up to the docks at the beach and get swaggering drunk, and then pick stupid fights with the sailors."
Chad and Jason exchanged glances.
"Dude..." Chad chuckled and shrugged his wings. "That is pretty stupid."
"Yea, that's definitely a change of pace in our stupidness." Jason smirked. "Anyway... does anyone else think we should get home?"
The Windian Trio exchanged nods and then headed out of Windian Park and towards their homes, stopping to watch crowds of people who had begun to gather around the burning fountains with confused expressions. Before the end of the day, Rangers had been sent out to extinguish as many of the fountain fires as possible.
