The air crackled with excitement as Daniel practically sprinted towards the old park bench. He saw Ben already there, a book open on his lap. "Ben! Do you remember that amazing concert? That was the best night of my life!"

Daniel practically levitated with happiness. He rubbed his hands, unable to sit still. He had waited so long to talk about it again.

Ben glanced up, a confused frown creasing his brow. "The concert? The one where the lead singer tripped and fell into the drum kit? And the sound system blew out halfway through the set?"

Daniel’s jaw dropped. "No! I remember the incredible guitar solo during the third song, the dazzling light show, the ecstatic crowds!"
