_______________________________________

"This will be our big break as a band!" Naomi, (the guitarist) gleams, her long dark hair bouncing as she jumps with excitement. 
 "Hell yeah!" (Y/n), (the drummer) bounces along with Naomi, jumping with delight 
They can barely hold their excitement, something might break if they lose grip on their energy. But, the gig is up soon and they can let it all out on their drum-kit. 
"spare you energy for the gig (Y/n)." Dylan, (the singer) laughs, he can't hold back a smile of his own. "can't, got to much of it!" (Y/n) replies.
"C'mon man, this this the moment we've been dreaming of. " Yuri, (the bassist) says, getting his Bass ready for performing. 
The brown-haired singer slaps Yuri on the back. The blonde man huff and recoils at the roughness of the slap. 
"spare my shoulder, Jezus!" Yuri sneers a complaint. Rolling the mentioned shoulder to loosen the muscles. He has been sore lately, and even more snappy than usual. 

"Stop it you guys, we gotta safe as much energy as we can. Except (Y/n), they are free to go explore the back-stage." Naomi says, she has always been the leader of the band. In (Ba/n), the guitarist is the front-woman. Although she can be a bit bossy, she is a better leader than any other member. 
"What, why (Y/n)!?" Yuri stands up after placing his Bass aside. Dylan grabs the bassist by the shoulder and pulls him back in his chair. 
"(Y/n) needs to walk around for a bit Yuri. We talked about this." the singer explains for the hundredth time. 
"Yeah, yeah. have fun on your walk (Y/n)." Yuri huffs, pulling his Bass on his lap again. 

"see ya later guys." (Y/n) waves goodbye teasingly. Turning around and skipping off to explore the backstage. 

~~meanwhile~~

"Cool, right guys?" Corey exclaims holding up the poster of the festival, the poster announces basic information of the festival. Such as the date, the time and most importantly the bands that will play. 
"Haven't heard of this band before." Joey says pointing at a name in the list that he doesn't recognize. 
"me neither." Corey replies. squinting at the name on the paper. No... he has
"maybe a new-comer?" Sid wonders out loud, peeking over Joey's shoulder to look at the poster himself. The three hope they get a change to see this new-comer band. 
"maybe..." Corey agrees with the DJ's assumption. 

"I'm off." Sid announces to the group without looking at anyone. He can't sit still and wait here for much longer. He has to move around. 
"Just get back on time." Shawn says sternly like the band-dad he is. 
"Yes dad." Sid mocks playfully, waving his hand dismissively before leaving the group to go exploring. Not forgetting his jump-rope on his way out.

~~~~

(Y/n) is looking around the back-stage, twisting a small rubber ball in their hands. This ball helps them stay calm in some situations. Just so that they don't fidget to much or make a ruckus. 
The pass the ball in their hands subconsciously while walking and looking around. 

This is the biggest festival (Ba/n) has ever been at. And (Y/n) can help but look in awe at all the large equipment on the big stage. The stage is pretty standard, because there are a hand-full of bands are playing on the same stage on separate times of the day. It's to much fun for (Ba/n) to get a bit of a real stage instead of a crappy too small bar stage. A welcome change to be sure. 

For a moment, (Y/n) doesn't pay attention to their ball tossing and misses, the little back bouncing off to it's own adventure. 
"where are you going?!" (Y/n) talks to the ball and follows it to catch it. 

Sid is somewhere of, jumping his jump-rope. Putting up a little trick for all the people that are watching. 
Suddenly, a little neon colored ball bounces into his vision, skipping nearer to the DJ. 
He gets distracted by the colorful thing, Missing a step and nearly tripping over the jump-rope. 
Sid stop and bends down to grab the ball. Throwing it once in the air and catches it again. 

"hey that's my ball!"  A voice in the distance calls. The DJ looks up from the toy to see someone running towards him. There is a little skip in their run. 
The person stops right before him. They smile at him, a wicked looking smile. 
"is this yours?" He asks the stranger before him. They nod quickly and Sid holds it out for them to take. 
Just when the stranger is about to grab it, the DJ pulls away, holding the ball behind his back out of their reach. 
The stranger snickers, and tries to get their a view more times. Both Sid and the stranger are both giggling at their own antics. 
Then the stranger pinches the DJ's side, making him squeak distracting him long enough for them to snatch their ball back. 

"who are you?" The DJ asks after his laughter dies down to snickers. The stranger stands up straight. "my name is (Y/n), i'm the drummer in (Ba/n)!" (Y/n) introduces themselves, saluting him. 

"cool, i'm Sid, number Zero and i'm the DJ in Slipknot." Sid says, mimicking (Y/n)'s salute, making them laugh. 
"Slipknot? No way. i have heard so much about you guys!" (Y/n) says, pointing at the DJ. 
Sid puffs his chest with pride. "yep, that's us! You must be the one of the new comers from (Ba/n) right?" (Y/n) nods happily at him, happy that he knows about (Ba/n). 
"uh-huh! This is our big break!" (Y/n)'s voice almost cracks at the amount of excitement they are feeling right now. 
"you a rock band?" Sid asks, tilting his head slightly. He's intrigued with this new-comer band. (Y/n) nods and confirms, "Hell yeah! we're a rock band of four members. Dylan is the singer, Naomi is the guitarist, Yuri is the bassist. And I (Y/n), am the drummer!" (Y/n) explains, pointing at their chest proudly. 
"cool!" Sid exclaims. 
He was about to say something else, but another voice interrupted him. 

"(Y/n)! There you are, we're almost up!" (Ba/n)'s blond-haired bassist yells from a distance. (Y/n) turns to their band-mate big a big smile. 
"coming! See ya later Sid!" (Y/n) waves goodbye to the DJ, who waves back at the drummer as they hop away after the bassist. 

~~Later in the evening~~

 The gig is over and the Slipknot is back stage cooling down and cleaning up. 
Sid feels drained as usual after a show. But a quick gulp of Gatorade could get his energy back in no time.  
"ey yo!" A voice he recognizes yells from afar. The DJ turns around at the noise, along with a few of his band-mates who happen to be nearby. 
''Who's that?" Jim questions while he's pointing at the approaching figure. 
"someone I met." Sid replies, smiling at (Y/n) who has skipped to a stop right in front of him.

"dude, that show was fucking sick! In a good way!!" (Y/n) compliments with a big bright smile, putting their thumbs up. 
The DJ laughs at the drummer's antics, he wraps an arm around their shoulders and squeeze them to his side. Sid is still very sweaty and gross from the performance, but (Y/n) doesn't care.
They were just like that a few hours before, and still a little bit even. 

"who are you?" Joey asks the person that Sid seems to know. (Y/n) turns to the other drummer and smiles at him. 
"I'm (Y/n). I'm the drummer in (Ba/n)!" They introduce themselves with pride. 
Joey perks up at the mention of Drummer and (Ba/n). 
"are you from the new-comer band?" Joey asks, tilting his head slightly. (Y/n) nods happily at the other drummer. 
Joey smiles upon (Y/n) confirmation, he has been curious about that band. And Sid of course couldn't stay quiet about him meeting a member of the new-comer band. 
"(Ba/n)? Are you a rock band?" Jim questions, resting the towel over his neck after cleaning off his hair a bit. But what he want's the most right now is a shower. 

(Y/n) nods again in the guitarist's direction. 
Sid gives them a tight squeeze to his side once again. 
"ain't this cool! I watched their performance and it's fucking dope!!" Sid grins, making a circle with his thumb and index finger. (Y/n) blushes when the DJ mentions that he watches (Ba/n)'s performance.

"hey ya'll, what are you all doing?" Corey inserts himself in the conversation. 
"check this out Corey! This is the drummer of the new-comer band!" Sid says, showing (Y/n) off to the singer with a dumb smile. 
Corey's expression shifts from annoyance to interest. "The new band? What was it called? (Ba/n), right?" the singer questions, (Y/n) confirms with yet another nod. 
"I'm really excited to meet this band! I have seen many mixed reactions about you." (Y/n) says to the front-man. 
"But to me you guys seem cool! Nice and different, different is good in this case!" (Y/n) beams, and Sid joins in with the beaming. 
 
The rest of the band that's present seems to be impressed with this energetic drummer of a small time band. 
And they all can collectively agree that the band (Ba/n) is going to get bigger.
