Elemental Super Heroes!

“Who wants my Super Spicy Special Fajitas for dinner?” Flame was saying.

“Sure, sounds good...” Shadow said, smiling.

“I’ll get the Pepto...” Earth said, walking towards the bathroom.

“Uh...we are out, used it all last time.” Flood said.

“What?” Earth grimaced, “Wonderful...”

“What’s that noise... or do I want to know?” Shadow said.

Flame sighed, starting to cook up her dinner, “I told you Earth to turn up the volume of the Crisis-Monitor....”

“....Sorry.” Earth said, walking into the living room.

“You asked Flood to WHAT?” Wind was asking Bud..

“Yeah, did we hear you right?” Storm asked.

“I asked Flood to handfast with me.” Bud smiled, “She’s in our room right now.”

“You...asked...” Storm said, “Why didn’t I think to ask Flame...”

“Because she’d laugh in your face.” Wind hissed, “We are the high Priest and Priestess of this group.”

“How do YOU know she’d laugh in my face?” Storm growled.

“Because she can’t be satisfied by one man...er...person...and it isn’t sane to attempt to be that one person, believe me, I know.” Wind growled back.

“Must you two fight all the time?” Bud yelled, “I am asking for a handfasting here!”

“Sorry,” Wind said.

“Yeah, sorry...” Storm said, “He started it.”

“I did nothing of the sort, YOU started the fight.” Wind growled.

“No, YOU started it.”

“You did!”

“Bullshit! You did.”

“Yes, bulls do shit, but you started the fight...”

“YOU!” Storm said, diving for Wind’s throat.

Wind stepped aside, causing Storm to crash into the entertainment center, causing Ice’s Playstation to crash to the ground.

“What are you two doing in there?” Flame called.

“I’ll ask her.” Storm said, jumping up, “Who she likes better...”

“No, I will...” Wind said, hot on Storm’s heels.

“I think I’m going to go cuddle with Flood now.” Bud said, turning towards his room.

“Flame...” Wind started.

“Flame...” Storm started.

Both men spoke together, “Don’t you like me better?”

Flame sighed, “Do you guys think I can choose? I love you both for different reasons.”

“Flame...” Storm said.

“Flame...” Wind said.

Flame crossed her eyes, “This is getting almost too much. I need to hide away...”

Shadow smiled and grabbed her hand, pulling her into the shadows with him.

***

“Wow... this is your room?” Flame asked.

“Well, yes and no...” Shadow smiled, “It’s the Shadow Realm.”

“Awesome.” Flame said, looking around at the weird blobs of shadows floating around her.

“Yes, I find it quite comforting.” Shadow smirked.

“It’s oddly peaceful.” Flame said, as Shadow turned around and grabbed her up in a hug, and pressed his lips to hers.

***

“Well, think of it this way...” Earth said, trying to comfort Storm and Wind, “If they do anything, we won’t have to turn up the Crisis Monitor volume up...”

“That’s what you think...” Ice said, grabbing Leaf, “Dinner isn’t done yet, Flame didn’t even start it... so we have plenty of time for a before-dinner romp.”

Wind glared at Earth, “You just had to say something, didn’t you?”

“Yep,” Earth smiled.

“Where is Shadow’s Room anyways?” Wind asked.

“Under the table.” Earth smirked.

About that time, Earth’s eyes widened, “THE TELEVISION! TURN IT UP!!! TURN IT UP!!!”

Flood and Bud were in their room, Leaf and Ice were in their room and Shadow and Flame were in the Shadow Realm.

“Okay, okay...” Storm said, “I’ll do it!”

***

Shadow released his kiss from Flame’s mouth and smiled.

Flame smiled back, “Thank you for saving me from the onslaught.”

“No problem, as long as I get to be in here with you, I’ll do it anytime.” Shadow grinned.

“Allow me to thank you properly then...” Flame smiled, walking over to a shadow bed and sitting on it.

“I wouldn’t sit on that one....”

“Why not?”

“That’s Ice and Leaf’s bed.”

“Oh...er.......and they are?”

“Yeah.”

Flame jumped up quickly off of the bed and clung to Shadow, “So were do YOU sleep?”

Shadow smiled and tackled her to the ground, kissing her deeply.

***

Flood came walking into the kitchen, where Storm and Wind were trying to make something to eat.

“Guys...Bud has asked me to Handfast with him.” Flood smiled.

“Good, good...now, let’s see Storm, we add two BOTTLES of...” Wind said.

Storm sighed, “Earth, get those two out of the Shadow Realm and get Flame to cook...”

Earth gladly banged on the table and yelled, “YO SHADOW! We need Flame before Storm and Wind burn down the house!”

Flame sighed and climbed, with Shadow’s help, out of the shadow realm.

***

Ice, after she and Leaf got done with their sack session, came into the kitchen with a big box.

“Leaf got me a present, we’ve been going out for almost two months!” Ice beamed.

“What...” Earth sighed, “do I even want to know?”

“What did you get her?” Wind looked at the exhausted Leaf.

Ice smiled, “Now can I open it?”

Leaf nodded.

Ice ripped open the box and squealed.

Inside the box, was a small little pure white Alaskan Husky puppy with icy blue eyes.

“She’s soo CUTE!” Ice squealed.

“It’s a he.” Leaf corrected.

“A PUPPY!” Earth laughed, “You got her a PUPPY?”

Ice hugged the puppy and then set him down, he immediatly went over to Earth and looked at him.

“Er...nice boy...” Earth smiled.

The dog lifted his leg on Earth’s show and pissed a river, which instantly froze.

“Oh, you’re name is Blizzard!” Ice smiled and held her arms out, the puppy came running towards her, tail wagging.

“You...got....her...a dog that controls ice, Leaf....” Earth hissed.

“I know.” Leaf smiled, “She loves him.”

Ice hugged Blizzard and then looked at Leaf, dragging him back to their bedroom.

“Round two...” Goldenna laughed as she petted the new dog.

***

“My Special Super Duper Spicy Hot Fajitas!” Flame said about an hour later, as the group sat around the huge kitchen table.

Everyone got two fajitas for themselves. Flame sat down and cut into hers first, then smiled, “I made these milder then last time...”

Ice took a bite and gagged, then coughed and almost caught Leaf on fire.

Leaf’s ears were smoking.

Flood opened her mouth and thick black smoke came out as she gagged.

Earth passed out after one bite.

Bud ran for the water facet.

Storm tried to smile, but the smoke coming from his smile gave him away.

Wind fanned himself wildly.

Goldenna gasped and chugged her drink.

Shadow, seeing the other Elementals reactions, grabbed his and took it, ‘bite’ by ‘bite’ into the Shadow realm, the whole time saying things like, ‘Yum’ and ‘Wonderful.’

Halfway through the meal, Shadow heard a scream from the living room.

Everyone jumped up to run into the living room.

Earth took this oppertunity to give his meal to Blizzard, Ice’s Alaskan Husky.

Blizzard sniffed at it and then turned up her nose, turning around and following her mommy out to the living room.

“IT BURNS!” The Shadow Dragon was crying, he had came out of the big shadow under the couch.

“I am sorry, I didn’t think you’d EAT them!” Shadow said.

“It was just floating around and I thought it looked GOOD!” The Shadow dragon sobbed, “Make it stop Mommy...”

“Ice, a little help?” Shadow said, trying to calm the poor dragon down.

Ice sighed and held her hand to the dragon’s nose.

The dragon sighed, “Ahh...much better...”

***

“So, Flood...we are going to preform your Handfasting to Bud on the new moon...” Flame was saying.

“Yes.” Flood nodded.

“Flame...we all know you are the High Priestess...but who is the High Priest?” Shadow asked.

“Hmm...good point.” Flame said, “It’s Wind, we have been the High Priest and Priestess for as long as the Elemental Super Heros have been alive.

“The new moon?” Bud asked, “That’s in less than a week!”

“Then we have a lot to do!” Goldenna said, “I’ll work on Flood’s traditional dress...”

Leaf smiled, “I’ll work on the setting, outside...”

“I’ll work on the cakes and wine.” Ice said.

“I’ll work on the groom’s outfit.” Earth said.

“Better let me handle that.” Flame said.

“No, Flame, we have to dig out our Ceremonial Robes.” Wind reminded.

“Yes, Storm, would you help Bud with his...” Flame said.

“Yes.”

***

“So, do you think I’ll be happy?” Flood said, letting Goldenna hem her bottom gown. She wore it as Goldenna hemmed.

“I sure hope so... I think you two make a wonderful couple.” Goldenna said, mouth full of pins.

“I love him, I do.” Flood smiled, her dress was low cut, with long bell sleeves and a long flowing gown.

“I’m glad.” Goldenna smiled, “May the Goddess bless you.”

***

“Watch it.” Storm was saying, “Stop shaking.”

“I’m nervous.” Bud said, he was wearing his robe, and it was being hemmed too.

“I know, I know...”

“I just want everything to be perfect.”

“We all think you make a good couple.” Storm said, smiling up as he finished stitching the hem.

“Thank you.”

***

“And a rose bush behind the altar...with Ivy on either side of the lattice...” Leaf was setting up the different flowers and decorations around the circle and altar to set the mood for the handfasting.

***

“Earth, I’m so glad you could help me.” Ice was saying as she pulled out a bowl, the two of them were in the kitchen.

“I know. Storm is working with Bud’s robes.” Earth sighed.

“Get the sugar, please?”

“Yes...” Earth walked over to get the sugar, “Hey, Ice...”

“Yes Earth?”

“Do you like me?”

“Of course, why do you ask that! I love you, you are Earth.” Ice said, taking the sugar from Earth.

“I was just wondering, because... everyone picks on me.” Earth heaved a heavy sigh.

“Earth, we are just preparing you, for when you turn eighteen, your power will reach its full potential...” Ice smiled at him.

“You mean it?”

“With all my heart.”

Earth smiled and leaned over towards Ice, pushing his lips to Ice’s. Ice was shocked, but before she could respond, Earth wrapped his arms around her and deepened the kiss, licking at her lips and nibbling a bit.
