"They're coming to the UK!"

--------------------

Y/n's POV

"Shut up, they are not."

"Yes, they are."

"No, they aren't!"

"Yes, they are!"

Rachel then pushed her phone into the middle of the table with trembling hands, allowing Casey to snatch it off the surface. Amber, Hope and I huddled around the elder. My eyes scanned over the tweet in question.

"FUCKING FINALLY!" Amber yelled, throwing her arms up in the air. I jumped slightly at the sudden volume changed and recoiled away from her.

"Quit drawing attention!" I heard Hope snap quietly as she pulled Amber's arms back down. I shook my head at the pair before glancing back at the phone, seeing that Casey had already pulled up the links for the UK part of it.

"Where will they be heading?" I asked, watching her scroll.

"By the looks of it, they'll only be going to London." She replied, clicking on some more links.

"We will be going though, right??" Amber asked, practically bouncing in her seat. I glanced back at Casey to see her scratching her head.

"Unless we can scrounge up just over 2000 quid between us, our odds of going aren't looking good at all."

"£2000?!" I exclaimed with wide eyes. Casey nodded.

"If we want 5 ground seats for £400 each then yes, it'll be £2000 for us all. But even seats that are miles away are still expensive. Balcony seats are still around £150-£200 each, equalling almost £800 for all of us."

"I can easily pay for myself. I'll send you the money once I'm home." Hope chimed in, looking up at our mother with hopeful eyes.

"I can always ask my parents to hold off on my Christmas and Birthday presents this year." Amber suggested, pulling her phone out to text them.

"What about you, Y/n? Do you have a plan?"

I thought about it for a moment. I could easily afford balcony seats, but this is Stray Kids we're talking about. They may never come here again and I'd wanna get enough saved to make the most out of their performance.

"I'll see what I can do." I replied, earning a nod from Casey. She then put her attention onto the one who shared this news with us.

"Rachel, are you gonna be okay?"

Despite having a well paying job for a 20 year old, Rachel's work hours can vary. They could get 30 hours one week then 6 the next, how they have enough to live each month is surprising. Not to mention their parents, they're way too overbearing, and then of course we have their douche of a boyfriend who we all know to be rather controlling.

"I can always ask..." They mumbled, but we all knew deep down that her parents won't let her come with. 

Now, when I say their parents are overbearing, I mean it. We sometimes see their car following us whenever we go shopping! But what makes this whole relationship they have with their child worse is that they think they're entitled to control Rachel's wages. Whenever they get paid, they quickly find a bank/ATM and draw as much money out as they can before their parents cut off the money entirely. It's bullshit if you ask me.

"Make sure to put your foot down when you ask." Amber chimed in, giving our bean a stern look. "You work your ass off to earn as much as you do. Don't let them talk you out of this concert. It's Your mon-"

"What's that I hear about a concert?" The oh so familiar voice of Aaron butt in, placing a tray of our food down on our table.

"None ya." Hope scoffed and I had to stifle a giggle. We all ignored him as we reached to grab our respective orders. A tut came from him.

"Whatever... Bumpkin, we're leaving now."

"But I haven't-"

"I put your food in the car, now come on." He told them, grabbing their wrist and pulling them up from where they were sat.

"Dude, let them go!" Amber exclaimed, grabbing onto Rachel's other wrist. Though, Rachel just slipped their hand through hers.

"Amber, it's fine. I'll see you tomorrow, yeah?" They mumbled before they got dragged away and out the establishment. 

"Permission to knock his lights out next time I see him??" Amber seethed, glaring at their pair out the window.

"Permission granted." Casey sighed, also watching the pair get in the car and drive off.

"We've gotta help them somehow..." I mumbled, swirling my straw around my D/o/c. (Drink of choice)

"I can pay for their ticket?" Hope offered, but Casey just shook her head.

"No. We're not going to the concert."

"WHAT?!?!" The three of us yelled in sync.

"Are you Out of your Mind??!!"

"We Have to go! This is a Once in a Lifetime opportunity!"

"Casey. Think logically here."

"I Am thinking logically!" She exclaimed, putting her hands up to quiet us. "There is another way we can celebrate the kids arrival."

"Oh yeah? What's that?" Amber snapped, glaring at our mother.

"We make a music video!" She beamed and I knitted my eyebrows together. "Think about it, girls. The seats we'd want would be gone by now, you know how STAYs can be. So instead of going to see them, we can try and make them see us."

"So, like a tribute?" Hope asked and Casey nodded.

"Exactly! If we make a mashup of some of their songs and choreography and post it on our channel, we have a chance of it going viral! I know for a fact that I'd be more honoured being noticed by all of them through that than going to their concert and probably not get spared a  glance by one of them at all."

Casey made a very valid point there. We have more of a chance at going viral than being spotted by one of them on stage. Hope, Amber and I glanced at each other. I subtly nodded my head, showing them that I agree with the idea.

"I'm in. It'll save me some money." I said, smiling at Casey. She smiled back.

"I don't mind what we do. As long as it's Stray Kids related, I don't care." Hope added and now all eyes were on Amber. It was clear she was fighting with herself over this decision since she had a face like thunder, but she soon let out an exasperated sigh.

"Fineee, let's do the videooo..." She drawled out and the rest of us smiled brightly. All we had to do was let Rachel know our plan and soon, Project SKZMashup was a go!
