I make my way through the crowd to Tommy, Phil and Kristin, pushing past Lovejoy fans, excusing myself to every person I pass, some freaking out when they notice who I am.

"Aria! There you are!" I see Tommy excitedly point as Lovejoy starts playing. I smile as Tommy excuses himself after he trips over someone's bag on accident.

"He's excited, I'm sorry about him." I tell the girl and she smiles at me in response. After a few songs I see a well-known grin on Wilbur's face. Oh no.

"Since Ariana released her EP, let's get her up here!" I groan before making my way towards the stage, fans letting me pass as people cheer me on, exploding into louder cheers as soon as I am helped up onto the stage by Wilbur.

"Hello, let's play my favorite song on her EP, which is a duet of us two, STARS!" The crowd cheers as Wilbur hands me a microphone, grinning at me.

"I hate you, Wilbur Soot." People laugh before my little brother's voice is heard above everyone else. I turn to look at him as he screams, smiling brightly.

"GO BEAR!" I laugh as he starts chanting, people now joining him. I pretend to think about it before grinning at the crowd.

"You guys are so lucky that rat is here to hype me into doing this." With that the crowd cheers before the band starts playing the song.

I of course, did notice basically everyone was filming us the whole time, but I didn't care enough. If this is what it would be like if I ever decide to hold a gig or concert, then so be it.

The whole time it felt like I was in one of those movies or shows, like Victorious, and that I was really popping off, which felt amazing and I had a lot of fun. Even though I would probably find the clips and think I look stupid later.

"A big applause for Ariana!" Wilbur says in the microphone as the song ends and everyone starts cheering, but I notice Tommy's proud smile on his face as I quickly look around the room and thank everyone.

As soon as I reach Tommy again, they start a new song, to which we all quickly sing along.

"Sap, I am telling you, it was AMAZING!" The panda loving man looks at me through his camera on discord, since we are waiting for our friends to join so we can play some videogames.

"I saw the video's, it looked so cool! Do you think you will ever get your own gig?" I shrug at the man's words, unsure if I would ever make it that big. The studio did say there is a chance, but I doubt it.

"Maybe, depends if my EP hits off and goes viral, I guess. It would be very cool though! You guys could come fly out and support me in the audience with Rat!" I see Sapnap nod.

"Yes! And maybe then Dream will finally shut up about the video's on twitter. He's been watching them all day and supporting you in the comments. He's a big fan." Sapnap wiggles his eyebrows in a teasing way, making me roll my eyes in response.

"Yeah yeah, I don't think he means it in that way, Sap. We're just friends and I have given up on thinking he could like me back, he hasn't made a move at all!"

"Well, he is a nervous shit. You saw his face reveal." Sapnap talks as I softly nod. He does have a very good point. "Plus, he does want to meet-up with you, just like you want with him."

"Just give it time and see what happens, Aria. Especially after or during when you two actually meet-up." Sapnap smiles softly and I nod once again.

"Yeah, you're right, just gonna have to wait and see." The man agrees quickly and soon after the topic gets changed to the Valorant game we are in to kill time while we wait.

"WE ATE YOUR ASSES YOU PIECE OF SHIT GET FUCKED!" Sapnap laughs at my outburst after we win the game, making me laugh too. Soon after multiple sounds of people joining the call are heard, making us laugh even louder.

"Why the fuck is Sapnap laughing so loud?" Is the first thing that comes out of Dream's end of the call, making us both laugh even harder.

"We won Valorant and Aria just screamed very kindly at them." Sapnap says as he catches his breath, while I try to do the same.

"We're playing Valo?" Punz asks, making most people scream no in response. "We were, to kill time, since you all made us wait for two hours." I explain, as everyone turns their camera on now.

"Makes sense, sorry we made you two wait so long." Karl apologizes, to which the panda man and I both shrug. "It's fine, Karl. We had fun while waiting, lots of gossiping and shit." I grin.

"Oh yeah, so much gossip." Sapnap joins in, making half of them look confused while Karl gets the same grin as us. "Oh? Pray tell, I cannot wait to hear about this gossip of yours."

"Later, Karl, can't gossip if they're all here." The three of us giggle as Dream sighs, clearly already done with our shit today. "Can we now play?" He asks, clearly annoyed.

"Yes Mr. Grumpypants. We're loading up the game now." And with that another set of giggles fill the call, just like a sigh from Dream's end.
