"Raptor! Raptor! Heyyy yooo!"

The crowd kept chanting on and on, long after the performance was over.

"Be cool, my fans!" Raptor shouted, hands raised over the crowd. "I'm not going anywhere yet! If you want an autograph, I'm here until Wednesday. Buy my new hit album, Hey Yo, from our dear Harriet over there!"

He pointed and fangirls sent glares at the poor mall saleswoman. If looks could kill, Harriet would have been burned alive.

Anna rushed forwards, pushing through the crowd to get to her idol.

"Please sign this!" she said, pushing Raptor's album into his hands. He took it, to the very vocal dismay of the other fangirls. He grinned and winked at her, and Anna almost melted on the spot.

"It took me like three seconds to sign that," Raptor said, handing it back to her. She giggled, starstruck. "So it's worth like ten thousand shillings, because that's how much my time is worth. But don't go selling it, now!"

He winked again and Anna felt her knees go weak. She held the album tight to her chest, hugging it protectively.

After some time, the fangirls subsided until the next concert and Raptor disappeared backstage. Anna sat at the cafe, earbuds in, the album playing in her walkman while she sipped at her milkshake, eyes closed and enjoying the upbeat tracks. So far, Hey Yo and Yo Hey were her favourite songs on the disc, and while she knew she'd eventually grow tired of them if she listened to them too much, she couldn't bring herself to stop playing them on repeat.

Someone sat down across from her and reached over, removing one of her earbuds and startling her, almost making her knock over her milkshake. She quickly recovered when she saw just who it was.

"R-R-R-" she could hardly get the name out. "Raptor!?"

"Hey there, girlie," he grinned. "I see you have good taste in music!"

Anna blushed deep crimson and was unable to hide the smitten smile.

"You're my favourite artist," she said, somewhat timidly. Raptor's grin widened.

"Well that's good," he said. "Because you're my favourite fan!"

Her heart skipped a beat. "W-what?"

"You heard me! C'mon, let's make a date of this!" he said, motioning to the waitress.

"A-alright!" Anna agreed excitedly.
