The text message lit up the phone screen, and a whoop of pure glee escaped Ben's lips. "GuitarHero23" wanted to see a concert. He ran to his guitar, fingers itching to play a riff. After all that time spent discussing music, they would finally go!

He couldn't sit still, pacing the length of his living room. The concert venue's address popped up in his phone and his enthusiasm escalated. His energy was crackling. Everything felt full of potential.

The crowd pulsed with energy as he scanned the room. There he was, holding up a sign with his name. Ben grinned, a feeling of elation coursing through him. This was going to be epic.
