"WOAH WOAHH WOAHH LOLLIPOP!" Mika and the small crowd sung in near perfect synchronisation as Mikas song lollipop ended. Mika bolted up from his piano. It was his first small scale gig of 2022, 15 years after he shot to fame, 15 years of his life being amazing and brilliant.

"Before I move onto the next song, I want to thank you all for fifteen years of love, fifteen years of freedom  and expression and fifteen years of you people being Golden! God if eight year old me saw myself right now he'd freak out!" Mika chuckled to himself as the audience cheered. "Just remember, after fifteen years, we may be old but we are golden" Mika began jumping around the stage as his band started the intro for We Are Golden.

Mika jumped around the stage swinging off the props hugging his bassist Max and rallying the crowd to sing along with the song. Out of the corner of his eye, he noticed something, It sparked and danced about.


A shorted electrical cable. One wrong move and it could seriously injure somebody!


As the song carried on and the crowd remained oblivious to the threat as Mika saw the wire spark closer and closer and closer to some metal railings that at least 50 fans held onto. If it electrocuted them, they would be injured or worse!

He tried to signal to security, they didnt notice his warnings. He ran over to the cable. 

"THE WIRE!" Mika screamed as he caught it, a millimetre away from the railings. A flash of yellow light flooded the stage as mika shot across it and hit his head on his piano. Just before he lost consciousness, all he could hear was the screams of his fans and the flashes of cameras and security ordering everyone out.

"Call An Ambulance!"  Max screamed as he dropped his bass and Rushed to the fallen singer.

A few seconds passed as the fans were evacuated and Mikas eyes bolted open. His band and security sighed a sigh of relief, despite a big bump on his head and few burns and scratches, he seemed ok.


"Where am I?" Mika bolted out of bed. Something seemed off, he couldn't place his finger on it, The room he was in was familiar like something he remembered from his childhood. He spun round the room. He knew where he was! His bedroom from when he was 8 years old. This had to be some crazy dream.


Suddenly, His eyes stopped spinning, they were fixated on a Mirror and a very familiar face was in the reflection staring back at him. It couldn't be....


"Mica, Are you ok? Time for school." Mika's face went pale. That was the voice of his Mum, a voice he hadn't heard in person in over a year.
