[Finally. Finally the damn lights are out of his window. Gambit's never minded a little festivity, but when your eyes are sensitive to bright light, it gets a little hard to sleep when you can't. Take down. The Christmas lights.

So he's in a pretty good mood today. Snow aside, of course. He could do without that. But he's still venturing out in it - totally not slipping from time to time, you guys are imagining that - to swing by the grocery store.

Important business here. New Year's is coming up, and that means black-eyed peas. With the bad luck streak he's had going since he got here, he's going to need to make a ton of them for luck.

Which is making an idea dawn...]

I don't think he'll mind at all.

[Because Helios will probably have fun making stuff go boom too.]

Helios.

I really appreciate you offering to help. One less thing for me to worry about.

Anythin' for a pretty lady.

[There's his charm. The draft must have taken it out of him more than he realized.]

I'll keep you posted, chere.

Thank you. I think we'll start the party at seven so you'll have plenty of time to eat and enjoy yourself. I'll need fireworks right at midnight though.

'Course. That's plenty'a time.

Great. The party is going to be at Seventh Heaven and Cloud Nine, but I'm going to get everyone outside or at least by the windows to see the show. You guys can pick out the best location to fire them off at.
