The narrator and his friend, Aluny, are invited to a party by Shuko, who is renting a place near her university. The narrator says he'll tell her they're there, and they'll buy some drinks and wait for him. He tells her he's working on a new theme for the party, and that it's going to be a hair-to-bob-cut party. He doesn't want to ask her to appear on a soap opera, but he does want to think about how he'd wave her curtains if he told her he was going to buy her a wave. He also tells her that he can't wait to fill a bucket with water to set off the fireworks. He's too hot to hold a sparkler long enough to set it off, so he fills it with water. He says he likes the sparklers because they remind him of his high school days. He asks her what her favorite kind of sparkler is, and she replies that it is traditional to end the party with sparklers. He reminds her that she's not a model, but a friend, and he wants her to remember him fondly.
