Squidward woke up, and did his usual morning routine (Take a shower, eat breakfast, etc.). As he was drinking his usual cup of hot tea, he glanced at the calendar. As soon as he saw the date, he did a double take and fainted.
"The 4th of July!" he shouted in horror. Squidward despised the 4th of July, it was loud, annoying, and nobody even knew what they were celebrating! He heard the familiar laughing of his annoying neighbor, Spongebob Squarepants. Squidward remembered the fireworks Spongebob had on New Year's Eve, and was afraid to know what he had planned for the main firework holiday. He glanced out the window, and saw the sponge laughing like an idiot and running around, a sparkler grasped in his hand, and wearing a festive T-shirt and hat. He looked over to his pineapple to see if there were any noticeable pyrotechnics. There weren't.
"Where are the other one?" Squidward called out the window. Spongebob stopped running, and the sparkler suddenly extinguished.
"Other what?" Spongebob asked.
"The other fireworks!" Squidward yelled.
"What other fireworks Squidward? I have my Sparkler right here!" Spongebob yelled, gesturing to the smoldering stick in his hand.
"Oh, it went out." Spongebob said. He flicked a small switch on the side of it, and it lit up brightly again. He continued laughing and running around like a moron. Squidward was appalled. He set off dozens on New Year's eve, but he only had a tiny sparkler for the 4th of July. Squidward was relieved. Maybe he would have a little peace this year. Squidward walked over to his couch and lay down, reading the paper and watching a little TV.
