She threw her hands up in the air, a gasp escaping her lips. The email: "Hey! Guess who's in town? It's 'StarryEyed'! Let's meet!" She was sprawled on her sofa, exhausted after a long day. Now, suddenly, she was wide awake. She felt a jolt of energy.

A feeling of pure, unadulterated joy coursed through her. She wanted to sing, to dance, to spin around in circles. Her exhaustion vanished, replaced by a vibrant energy. She felt light, carefree, as if nothing could bring her down. She was giddy with happiness.

She sat up, her eyes sparkling. She typed a quick reply, her fingers moving with surprising speed. "OMG! Seriously?! Let's meet up ASAP!" Then she began jumping up and down on the sofa, a wild grin plastered across her face. It felt so good.
