Party time?
We walked into the venue to see a gigantic stage with a surprisingly large crowd. Just to make sure no one here recognizes me, I chose to dye my hair completely black and put on some glasses to hide part of my face. Popstar is accompanying me while wearing a nice red tux. The venue was gigantic with a bunch of stands selling various kinds of merchandise. The band was still setting up their equipment to begin the night but so far nothing seems out of the ordinary. Even though I brought Popstar to help protect me, I honestly don't know how he'll react if the villain shows up. I know he's strong, but he's never actually fought side by side with me before. People in the crowd were having fun and discussing their general affection of the group performing. Even though they support this criminal it seems people aren't here to support that part of the night but are here just to enjoy the music and the discounted tickets they were giving out. While I was busy gathering information, Popstar was flirting with random girls and as far as I know no one has given him any numbers. I can't tell if he's that oblivious to the fact that he comes off as a complete jerk or if he's that he's too young for anyone to take him seriously. Honestly, I can't be badmouthing Popstar too much because at least he came with me and, I don't have anyone in my life that I'm dating either. That's not to say I'm not looking for love or a relationship. I do have someone special in mind but I'm just not 100% sure that she'll except my confession. I browse through some of the different shops and decided to buy an old pocket-watch labeled "The Axis". I walk over to a vending machine to get some soda, but the machine says out of order. To some it may be but not for me. I carefully look around to see who might be looking but no one was paying attention to me, so I sent a shock of electricity through it to move some parts and shoot a couple of cans out. I got some Lemon Lime Express, Gorilla's Raging Flame, and Cherry Cola. Going to stick with the cola because I never tasted the other brands and don't want to either. I head over to Popstar striking out again and I pass him a soda (Lemon Lime).
Denki: They rejected you again.
Popstar: They just don't know what their missing out on. I'm an awesome catch.
Denki: I just think you may need to slow your roll. I think you're a little young to be trying to get a girl anyway.
Popstar: They'll love me. You'll see.
Uncharacteristically of Popstar he goes silent and walks away. I wonder if I said something wrong.
It was at this point that a large smokescreen appeared, and the band appeared on stage in a flash of light. Each of the five members had their own spot on the stage and the lead singer, Jean, announced their first song of the night. They began performing and the crowd was going crazy. Even though I came here for Sharp Knife the band was good. I eventually stopped worrying about whether he was going to come or not and just enjoyed the music. It was a fantastic experience that I never enjoyed in my life before I reincarnated. Denki had been to something like this before with his dad, but I don't count that as my own experience because it technically wasn't me. However, I'm here now and I'm not going to waste it. I want to enjoy more out of life and this concert is one of the many new things I want to experience now that I'm here in this world.
The band continued for hours, but the music never seemed to dull. Except that it was finally ending, and the Jean had an announcement to make.
Jean: Thank you all for coming but unfortunately our guest for tonight didn't show up. Still, I's like to give a round of applause to an audience as awesome as you guys. We'll be performing in Tropical City next week with our brand-new song, Starlight. We hope to see you guys then. GOOOODD NIGHT.
Jean finished his message and went offstage. I'm a little disappointed that he didn't come but I'm a little relieved that nothing horrible happened. Better just find Popstar and head home. I look across the crowd for Popstar but I don't see him anywhere. I may have upset him, but I don't think that was enough to make him leave. I tried calling him, but it went straight to voicemail. After a couple minutes the concert hall had mostly cleared out but still no sign of Popstar. I was about to give up until I saw the Lemon Lime can before a door that said V.I.P only. Nothing ventured, nothing gained. I went inside to hopefully find Popstar but all I see was the band members giving autographs to the V.I.P.
Frank (Guitarist): Wasn't Larry supposed to be guarding the door? We can't let all the crazies in.
Ralph (Back-up singer): Relax, I'm sure he just took a bathroom break.
Denki: I'm sorry guys but have you seen a short ten-year-old kid with a red tux pass through here.
Cassie (Drummer): Yeah. Go down the hall and go three floors down. It's the first door on your right.
I go down the stairs and enter the door only to see....
