--> ''Calvin tries to convince his dad to get fireworks for the Fourth of July.''

It's the Fourth of July and Calvin is excited! Excited enough to wake up his parents at one in the morning to tell them that, at any rate. His joy is shattered, however, when his father reveals they're not getting any fireworks this year.

Naturally, Calvin attempts to amend this at a G.R.O.S.S. meeting. Once the flaws of his plan are exposed, he switches to Plan B - outright pleading for fireworks. He ends up sent to his room. Shortly afterwards, he's climbed out of his room and off to buy some fireworks.

... if he was 18 or older, at least. After trying several times to fool the worker, he simply ''reasons'' with him - and gets some fireworks. They make the most beautiful display he'd ever seen - well worth enduring his father's screaming and cussing.

Satisfied, the duo lie in bed, where Hobbes asks where the second firework has gone. [[spoiler: It's revealed that the second firework destroyed an alien spaceship's force field and thrusters.]]
