Wednesday's Writing Prompt — Fireworks!

In honor of the 4th of July, imagine your protagonist is going to see the fireworks. Is he so excited he just can't wait any longer, or does he find the  fireworks to be extremely overrated? Place him in conversation with someone who feels the direct opposite. What kind of tension does this create? Is their conversation indicative of a larger conflict, or is it playful in nature? Explore the relationship between your protagonist and his friend through this conversation.
If the 4th of July doesn't fit into the timeline of your narrative, pick another holiday event and do the same exercise.
