Fireworks

Swooosh!

BOOM!

The ground trembled as a deafening roar shattered the peaceful life of the forest, causing the animals and bird to flee in panic.

In an instant, the sunny and warm surroundings were plunged into darkness and chaos...

(10 minutes earlier) 

After the slime threat was neutralized, Moon couldn't even blink before he was teleported back to the lobby, the door locking itself behind him.

"Aww man, and here I thought that I'd stay and enjoy the scenery for a little longer..." He muttered to himself, slightly disappointed by the abrupt end to his outdoor adventure.

But, despite his disappointment, Moon knew that there were still plenty of things he could do inside the spa.

For example, checking out the rewards he got from the quest.

"Let's see what we've got here," he said with a hint of curiosity, while opening up his SpaWatch's inventory.

After a few moments, 10 cylindrical objects materialized on the floor right in front of him.

They seemed to be made of some sort of metal and their surfaces were painted over with lively colors, 5 of them were blue, the other 5 green.

With a cautious touch, Moon picked up one of the blue cylinders, feeling its weight in his hand.

"I wonder if this could fit in that thing?" He mused aloud, turning the object over in his palm.

"Oh well, only one way to find out!"

With a determined expression, he pushed open the door leading to the hot spring to test out his theory.

After reaching the spring, Moon's gaze fell upon the familiar rocket launcher that had been laying there since the morning.

"Ah! There it is." He exclaimed, as he approached the weapon without hesitation and started to load the blue cylinder into it.

Clank!

With a satisfying sound, the cylinder slid into place, seamlessly integrating with the launcher.

"It fits perfectly! Now let's hope that it won't explode on me..." Moon prayed for the best, as he aimed the rocket launcher towards the Sun.

Sigh!

And then after taking a deep breath, he pulled the trigger…

Click!

Swooosh!

Luckily, everything seemed to have gone according to plan, as the rocket launched into the sky, leaving behind a trail of sapphire blue smoke.

For a moment, the world seemed to hold its breath, suspended in anticipation...

BOOM!

And then, with a deafening roar, the rocket exploded in the air.

Obviously not anywhere near the Sun, as Moon had initially hoped for, but the blast was enough to completely block out all of the sunlight from Moon's surroundings, casting a huge shadow over everything his eyes could see.

"...Wow!" Moon was amazed to see how much power this small metal tube in his hand held, completely dwarfing anything he had ever used before, including his fireball technique.

"That was amazing! I gotta see what the green one does now!" He snapped out of his astonishment and quickly ran back inside to fetch one of the different colored rockets.

After getting back to the spring, he loaded the green rocket into the launcher and once again pulled the trigger.

Click!

Swoosh!

The rocket shot towards the heavens, this time leaving behind a trail of emerald green smoke.

Its flight path and speed seemed to be identical to its blue counterpart, but then seemingly out of nowhere…

Swish! Swish! Swish!

In the blink of an eye, the rocket split apart mid-flight, into three smaller rockets, each trailing behind the other like a comet's tail.

"Sweet!" Moon's eyes lit up as he watched the spectacle from below.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

And then, one after another, they exploded, sending shockwaves rippling through the air. 

"Now I don't have to worry about buying any fireworks for my 365th day here!" Moon joked, as he watched the sky slowly fade back to its usual blue color.

After finding out what the rockets were capable of, he deposited the rest of them alongside the launcher into his inventory and then decided to soak in the spring for a little bit.

"I know I already did it once today, but I can't help it. Today has been very stressful..." Moon said, trying to find an excuse for his second visit of the day, as he undressed and immersed himself inside the warm waters…

(5 hours later)

"Oops! Would you look at that, time just seemed to slip by in an instant." Moon remarked to himself, glancing at the clock on his SpaWatch, not realizing that his addiction was slowly getting worse by the second

After getting dressed, he made his way back to the lobby for his usual nap, but before he could even close his eyes…

Knock! Knock! Knock!

"Excuse me, is anyone there?" A muffled voice sounded from the main entrance.

"Argh! Yes, come in!" Moon answered back in a slightly startled voice.

Bang!

Suddenly, the door slammed open, as a purple-haired beauty barged into the lobby with a mean frown on her face.

"Do you have any idea what you have just done?!" She shouted, as he grabbed Moon's shoulders.

'Uh oh…' Moon thought as he blankly stared at the strange woman in front of him, having no clue what could've pissed her off so much…
