THE REMAINING GUESTS and wedding party danced and laughed late into the night. As the party wound down, Kara exclaimed to Jack, “I have a surprise for all of you! Follow me out into the field.”

The day had been long. Darrin yawned, but he wandered after the guests and his sister.

Kara waved her hand like the start of a car race. “Now, Bob!” she shouted.

There was a whoosh as the first of the aerial fireworks shot off. A colored sparkling plume appeared. Kara grabbed Jack and gave him a big kiss. “I know how much you love the 4th of July, and I thought the wedding wouldn’t be complete without fireworks.”

“This is fantastic!” Jack said loudly over the din of the explosions. He bent Kara back and kissed her deep. “I love you!”

A strong gust of wind hit them, causing one of the fireworks tubes to blow sideways. There was another whump. Someone screamed as they dodged to avoid the projectile and the explosion shot past the crowd. The screeching fireball screamed it’s whistled cry and then came to a stop, stuck in the top of the reception tent. Around where it hit, suddenly there was a burst of flame.

“Oh my God! The tent’s on fire,” Kara cried.

“Get a hose and call for help!” Jack called out to his friends attending the wedding who were firefighters. Guests ran in different directions across the field. The orange flames licked at the top of the canopy and quickly spread, engulfing the dome.

Darrin ran into the tent where his grandma was still seated at a table.

A lady who he didn’t recognize said, “I came to help her, but couldn’t find her wheelchair.”

“Thanks. I got it under control.” He sprinted to where he’d parked the chair and popped it open. He wrapped her shawl around the old woman’s shoulders. “Come on, Grams. We have a bit of a problem and we need to get you out of here.” Before she could reply, Darrin scooped her up and deposited her into the wheelchair. He hurried out the opening and parked it on the edge of the field.

“What happened?” she asked as she swiveled to look back at the mayhem.

“Kara was trying to do something special for Jack and now there’s a bit of a fire. It’s fine. You just stay here so I can help them.”

She nodded, and Darin hurried off. He tried to think of what he could do and hurried to grab the hose they watered the field with by the house. He rapidly screwed a few lengths together allowing the spray to reach the tent and turned on the water. The fire hissed as the cold water struck it.

It was less than ten minutes before the wail of fire engine sirens filled the night air. Everyone was running and yelling commands. Flames shot in orange hues into the night sky and flicks of embers floated. The wind shifted and smoke enveloped him. Darrin choked and moved farther out onto the lawn.

“My tent!” Someone ran closer.
