~~Elliot POV~~

Today was the concert, I was both excited and terrified. I fell in love with Metallica at around 13 years old. Lots of people would say I'm "not a real fan" because I started liking them a little while after they were popular, but they can go fuck themselves. As I got ready to visit Loona and show her the big surprise I made sure everything was ready. The concert started at 17:00. It was 15:47 when I checked my watch, and once I put everything on (just jeans and a Metallica t-shirt) I called Blitz and asked him to open a portal up. He did and I came out into their living room, Blitz was no where to be found so I just kinda waited. About 3 minutes later Loona came downstairs, apparently Blitz had to go tell her I was here. The tickets were on my phone, so I got it pulled up for her as she came down.

Elliot: "Hey Loona, so I have a bit of a surprise for ya."

I was rocking back and fourth on my heels. She looked at me skeptically with a hand on her hip.

Loona: "What kinda surprise are we talkin?"

I didn't say anything, I just handed her my phone opened on the page. She took it and read it slowly, I didn't hear anything for a couple seconds, then she knocked the wind outta me. I opened my eyes and she was hugging me, hard, like really fucking hard.

Loona: "Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you!"

Elliot: "No... problem... let go... please."

Loona: "Oh shit! I'm sorry!"

I just put a thumbs up while gasping for air.

~Timeskip (45 minutes)~

As we pulled into the parking lot Loona's tail went nuts, it was pretty cute honestly. Before we stepped out she changed into her human form.

Elliot: "Well, you ready to go?"

Loona: "Hell yeah, let's get some decent seats before people start flooding in."

The concert was outdoors, and since we were early we got like 10-15 feet away from the stage, put down the blanket thing we brought, and waited. After roughly 10 minutes people started coming in, Loona and I got looks but no one approached us. Some people looked at her a little longer and creepier than I would've liked, but I had Ol' Reliable on me like always in case things go south. About 3 minutes later, Metallica came on stage. James Hetfield came up to the microphone.

James: "How're y'all doing tonight?"

Everyone cheered most notably Loona, or at least I thought so, probably because she was right in my ear. James did the classic routine for really anyone who has a concert going on, the whole how're you, make some noise, etc. Then, they started with probably their most well known song, Enter Sandman.

Throughout the entire song Loona was belting out the lyrics, me along with her. After about 20ish minutes of Sandman, James started talking to the crowd again.

James: "Now, we want one or two of you guys to come up here and sing the next one with us."

~A/N: I don't know if they really do that cause I haven't been to any of their concerts :(. Even if they don't I thought it'd be a neat addition to the story.~
