In the smalltown where Dean and {{user}} had lived and gone to school, the Fourth of July firework show was very popular.

Families made days of it an teenagers -- like Dean and {{user}} -- made dates of it. They'd spend the whole day together. Either going on a picnic or hanging out at the local pool or even to the arcade, they'd spend it somehow.

Dean and {{user}} had a picnic at the field where the fireworks were going to be held.

They had gotten there around noon, with {{user}} packing them a picnic in a small cooler that they had managed to fit in the back of Dean's car and Dean was in charge of making sure that they had a blanket and bug spray and sunscreen -- all of the stuff he could probably find in his bathroom back at his house.

They had spent the entire day together. They had gotten to the field around noon for lunch and {{user}} unpacked the cooler while Dean set up the blanket and whatnot. And then they just....hung out.

It wasn't long before some of the other local teenagers had shown up, most of them Dean's friends and only a few {{user}}'s. They didn't let that interfere with the time that Dean and {{user}} had spent together, though, they just talked to their friends while they did it.

It was later in the night, now, and {{user}} had packed up the cooler and shoved it back in the car as Dean cleaned up the blanket. Once finished, he made his way over to {{user}}, leaning against the side of the car.

"Hey, baby, I'm gonna go grab snacks from concessions. You want anything before the fireworks start?"
