"Hey, Celeste!" Ryan called out to me from his table with Scala, Leo and Aqua.

I walked over to them with my tray of good in hand.

"Hey! What's going on?" I asked.

((A/N: I said hey!.... what going on!?
Is it just me who thought of the song?))

"We would like it if you ate lunch with us. Unless you don't want to... But you can if you want to! Just don't feel pressured int-"

"-Cala" Ryan interrupted, as I say at the table and started to eat my macaroni and cheese.

"We are going on an air balloon ride this Saturday and we have a spare ticket so we wanted to invite you. Are you coming?" Aqua asked, or more like demanded.

But that's just the way she was... bossy.

"Sure I would love to go with you guys!" I accepted.

"Cool. We will meet in the reception area of the dorm at 9am. Can't wait to see you there Celeste." Leo said in that creepy tone of his.

I could see Aqua glaring at me out of the corner of my eye. She then stood up abruptly and sped out of the cafeteria.

"I'll go get her." Leo assured us as he made his way after Aqua.

I saw Ryan and Scale giggle as Leo walked away.

"What was that about?" I asked.

"You study astrology right?" Scale asked.

"Yeah..."

"Then you of all people should be able to figure it out." She replied, getting up from the table and leaving with a little giggle and Ryan following behind her.

"See you on Saturday at 9! Don't forget!" He called out to me.

"I won't!"

.

"Woah! This is so high up!" I gasped in awe.

"Well this is a hot air balloon." Aqua commented.

"Aqua ... are you okay? You don't need to be so cold towards Celeste..." Scala tried to assure Aqua.

'Cold towards me? Why? What did I do?'

"Yes I do! She comes to our dorms, interrupts our friendships and then if that wasn't enough she-!" Aqua stopped talking abruptly and stole a quick glance in Leo's direction; then averted her eyes back to Scala.

"But-" Scala began, but was instantly interrupted by Aqua grabbing her blouse and pulling her right up to her face.

"But nothing. She has not been your friend as long as I have. She doesn't belong with us." Aqua growled.

The wind started to pick up as Aqua voice did, and soon enough there was a harsh continuous flow of wind. Along with alot of screaming.

The air balloon started to sway...

"Aqua... Let. Cala. Go." Ryan demanded in a low voice.

He had gotten his hand on Aqua's shoulder, and was giving her a sinister stare.

I would have never thought to see such a chilling look on Ryan's face.

"Are you both siding with Celeste?! Over me? After we've been friends for so long? Been through so much-"

"Aqua." Leo spoke up.

Ryan averted his gaze from Aqua to Leo. Once he saw the seriousness in Leo's eyes, his grip on Aqua's shoulder lessened and he backed away from her.

The wind was still blowing harshly as Aqua turned to face Leo.

Ryan took Scala from Aqua's grasp easily, and pulled her towards the centre of the balloon.

'Oh goodie, the fires gone out.' I thought as my eyes landed on the minature furnace in the middle of the ballon.

'No hot air = No floating balloon'

"Erm... Ryan..." I decided to inform Ryan on the problem...
Seing as Leo and Aqua were busy...

"What is it?" He asked.

"The fires gone out." I pointed to the furnace in the middle of the ballon.

As soon as the words left my mouth it was as if the balloon droped out of the sky.

Everybody screamed and my eyes were directed towards the four before me who had all huddled up with me in the center of the balloon.

"We need to light the furnace!" I yelled.

"But how?!" Scala shouted back.

"We're all gonna die!" Aqua screamed.

Leo pulled her into a right hug

"We're gonna be fine! Calm down." Leo tried to assure her, but I don't think even he belived the words he was saying.

"Leo... This could be the end. The real end." Aqua replied quietly.

The four's faces all seemed to have a dead look.

"The end..." Ryan repeated, pulling Scala closer to him.

"Aqua..." Leo began. "The last time you said that..."

"We promised not to talk about that again." Scala but in.

'What happened?'

"Aqua... if we do end up dying today... I want you to know that I love you. Not just in the way that I love Scala and Ryan. I love you."

'By the second star... the playboy...
Just confessed...'

"I love you too."

"Guys. It's great that you both finally confessed and all... But we are still falling! And it's not in love!" Scala interrupted. "But if you would like to continue... have time too..."

"Ryan, you know more about air balloons than we do... can't you do something?" Scala pleaded.

"I-I-I don't know... there are no lighters around here..." Ryan replied.

I could tell that he was getting stressed out. But there was nothing he could do.

We were all going to die here.

This was turnig out to be a bad Saturday...

"Ryan! Your hand! WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOUR HAND!!" Scala screamed in terror.

I looked back up to see Ryan's hand ablaze.

"How the hell-!" I screamed.

"How is that even possible?" Leo questioned.

"LIGHT THE FURNACE!" Aqua screamed.

Ryan shoved his hand in the furnace and lit it.

We began to balance out in the sky, but we still had the Ryan problem.

He was on fire. Literally.

Well... just his hand... But still on fire.

"What can we do? Oh my god Ryan!" Scala screamed.

"We need to find a way to put the fire out!" Leo shouted.

"A couple of seconds ago we needed to start a fire! And now-!" As Aqua screamed water seemed to shoot out of her hand and put out the fire on Ryan's hand like a hose.

'ARE YOU KIDDING ME! WHAT IS WRONG WITH THESE PEOPLE!!... No... this is just a dream... I'm just dreaming.

It's just a dream...
