Under the Moonlight and Fireworks

"There are so many," Emily complained as she held the large plastic bags full of toys she won as prizes from the games. Almost all of it had been won by Alex. 

It didn't have a single major prize, however. 

"I keep telling you to let me carry it. Why are you being so stubborn?" Alex asked. 

"But these are so cute. I don't want to let go of them yet," Emily said in a childish manner. She was acting more and more freely around Alex now. 

Alex was the same. He had lost a lot of awkwardness he had around her when they had first started being friends. 

"How about this? Let's both carry it then," Alex said and reached for her hand holding the prizes. Emily's hand tightened for a second before letting loose. She opened it enough that Alex could slip his fingers through her hand and grabbed it. 

Now they were both carrying the prizes. 

"How many tickets do you have?" Alex asked. 

Emily quickly checked and said, "Around 300."
