Blastoff Fest

Blaster and his Minicons are holding a festival in Detroit and a group of friends get ultimate VIP passes to meet them backstage, but were they worth it?

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

"OMG, you guys are not going to believe what I have!" Sadie said excitedly.

Lindsay and Stella both looked at her in surprise when she burst into the room. When she held up passes with nothing but a giant smile on her face, her friends knew the same as her what it was about. They all squealed in joy, jumping up from the couch and hopping up and down.

"You didn't, Sadie! How did you get them?!" Lindsay asked loudly.

The brunette cockily put a hand on her hip. "My boyfriend's cousin is one of the stage boys, worked with Blaster and the crew for three years before he left but still has contacts. We're VIP, bitches!"

Stella gasped, "No way! VIP, as in we get to meet Blaster himself?!"

"And Ramhorn. And Steeljaw, Rewind, Stripes, Playback, and Eject."

Lindsay stroked her blue-tipped black hair giddily, "Ramhorn's my favorite. He once beat Adam Rupp in a beatbox battle and played drums beside many famous bands!"

Stella scoffed, "Yeah, but Ramhorn's Cybertronian. Transformers have a larger vocal range than humans, so that's not as impressive as Rewind rocking with Keith Richards. Keith retired a few years before and Rewind managed to convince him to do a rock n' roll tribute in Blaster's Badlands Tour. Rock legends around the world would have praised Rewind for carrying the genre beyond Earth."

Sadie peered at the blonde girl laughing, "DJ Dinobot, Soundwave, and Bombastic Beatrunner all contributed to spreading Earth's music as well so I wouldn't credit to just Rewind or Blaster."

Lindsay smirked, "DJ Dinobot, huh? I heard she left-"

"She's on maternity leave. Divindiva will return but with three new little ones. I think she'll be a great mother, certainly no boring moments in her household and would throw awesome birthday parties."

"I keep forgetting her real name is Divindiva..." Stella said bemused.

Sadie interrupted, "Well, I have the best tickets and the backstage passes to Blaster's Blastoff Fest in Detroit in two months, so you can ask Rewind or Ramhorn anything to your heart's desire."

Multiple calls to their job to ensure they had the five-day vacation set around Blaster's three-day festival was a chore, but all three women managed. The flight over to Detroit was swamped with people who had the exact same idea. Nearly the entire plane was nothing but festival freaks, and the women were ecstatic.

The first day of their vacation was touring the city itself. Blaster's promo videos were nearly on every jumbotron and electronics store. Posters were plastered in every stop open. With the influx of so many people, the stores were all filled to the maximum occupants with nearly every employee in the payroll on the schedule to meet demand.

News crews from many channels across the country as well as other countries were prepared to cover the fest. Being as popular as he was, this was no surprise. As they walked the main street of Detroit into the plaza where the Allspark Tower stood dwarfing the city, the three friends took selfies and group pictures to their pleasure before stopping by a Starbucks.

"Okay, I know we shouldn't be planning ahead and all but after this fest, can we think about one day going to the annual Music Battle Mayhem concert too?" Stella asked. "Imagine seeing Blaster verses Soundwave verses DJ Dinobot verses Bombastic Beatrunner live! That's said to be an epic show. Every year it's done in Memphis, Tennessee, and I would die happy if I ever went! And their companions will be available to meet as well. I heard they do their own battles as part of the show and all the Minicons have a riff-off."
