Nickel X Balloon Novels & Stories

Gabby looks as if she's about to argue back at me, but surprises me by swooping the straws up from the table and throwing them back into the bag from the party store. "Alright, I will put all of this stuff away until after Bennu's mother leaves." She compromises, and I don't fight her; instead, I take the small victory over none. "But the balloons stay because they took me so long to blow up." "How will we be able to explain why we have penis shaped balloons stuck to the ceiling, though?" I ask her, curious about how she plans to get around this one. She takes a moment to think it over, and a sly smile spreads across her face.

Some people were buying snacks, meanwhile some where setting stalls. Eden caught the sight of a stall owner selling cartoon helium balloons. "Mom, I want a mickey mouse balloon " His eyes were twinkling with excitement. "I will buy it for you." Barbara took his hand and walked over. It cost Barbara ten dollars. When Eden got the balloon, he was elated. He ambled omg the crowd with a content smile. Barbara's heart slightly ached when she saw the broad smile on his face. The three of them continued on before Barbara's phone rang. It was Kinsey. Barbara handed the Eden to Thomas as she went to answer the phone.

Ben walked up with a smug smile. “No one will think you are mute if you keep quiet” Dana pouted. “Ha …. ha….ha….” ‘These people were not merciful.’ Dana thought as she maintained the pout on her face. Ben and Shadow joined in and quickly they filled almost 100 balloons. “Now what?” Kim asked excitedly. Dana walked forward with the bucket of balloon and the pins and pinned the balloons on the canvas. She pointed at Ben, Shadow and Steve “Put these ones on the top, as high as you can reach.” She picked out the balloons filled with blue and passed them to be pinned to the top. Kim and Lara came to help.

Dark circles streaked underneath her eyes, showing the sleepless night she spent alone. "Liam, now" he instructed Liam, who nodded and quietly spoke something on the phone. In less than a minute, a group of thirty kids came out of nowhere carrying red heart shaped balloons. To my Baby is written on the ballons. One by one, they handed the balloons to Nina who looked confused, but still accepted the ballons. The last kid, who is a small and cute girl handed over a red envelope along with the ballons. Nina accepted the envelope and looked at the kids who are now standing in five rows in front of her.

In all the years I have lived, I have never been in a hot air balloon. “Everyone is here.” Hunter commented as the balloon descended from the sky and landed at the amusement park. “What is that!” Achilles shouted as he jumped out of the basket before it was securely on the ground. “What is what?” I asked as Caleb helped me out of the basket. “That.” Achilles pointed toward a floating object in the sky. “That is a new ride they put in a few years ago. It is a UFO.” Zac answered. “Isn’t that an alien thing?” Achilles asked as we made our way to the ticket booth.

Caleb's face changed from excited to confused when Luka handed him a bunch of pink and blue balloons and one big gold one. He turned them around so he could see the writing on them, which only seemed to confuse him even more. The pink ones had 'it's a girl', while the blue ones had 'it's a boy'. The big gold one in the middle had 'congratulations' written on it. Everyone was quiet, as they too watched curiously and confused. "What's this? Are these balloons for me? " Caleb asked, breaking a sweat. Deep down he sorta knew, but he just needed confirmation.

He looks down at her—she is looking beautiful with her green eyes and curly hair. “It’s for you!” The girl extended the balloon to him. “For me?” He pointed his finger at himself in shock. She nodded her head in response while giving him the balloon in his hand and running out of the place. “What is this?” He muttered with his pouty lips: "Hehe, he looks so cute." He turned the balloon spinning around his hand—the balloon in red, and then he found “I” in white color on the balloon. “I?” He rolled his eyes, taking a single step while raising his eyebrow.

The last dinosaur balloon refused to cooperate despite Dominic having it tied twice. However, it still insisted on drifting towards the ceiling fan. Enzo, who had briefly wandered into the dining room in search of a midnight snack, watched the balloon float lazily across the room before looking at Dominic. "You know..." He started to comment wryly as he folded his arms. "...for someone who can dismantle an international crime syndicate, you're losing to a balloon, boss." Dominic looked up and glared at him darkly.

But the rules were to shoot down two hundred and fifty balloons in one minute-ten seconds. I gasp at such a hard task. Who would fix a game like this? I stare longingly at the fluffy bunny, it looks so cute and adorable and lonely. I let out a tired sigh and decided to go have fun in another place, forgetting about the bunny. And moreover, why should I be desiring something like that? Suddenly, I’m hearing joyful screams from behind me. The children in the toy stall were jumping and clapping. And then my gaze falls on Rowan, standing like a professional killer with one hand in his pocket as he shoots down the balloon with an insane marksmanship.

Nora had done her thing! The balloons were mostly cream and blush, floating gently over the fireplace in a soft arc. Nora had added tiny fairy lights through them, so the whole thing shimmered just enough to feel magical, but not too much. Right beneath it, standing boldly on the floor in shiny gold letters, were the words: YES, I’LL MARRY YOU.
