3rd Person POV

In Damon's cozy backyard lit by the warm glow of a crackling fire pit, The bandmates gathered in a circle. The sound of laughter and music filled the air as they played various instruments, blending melodies into the night sky. The band continued to play one song after another, with Madison enthusiastically joining in, adding her voice to the mix.

Amongst them, Benny would strummed her guitar with skilled fingers, her eyes occasionally straying to Madison. She was such a lively and charming girl whose laughter seemed to light up the night. Benny and Madison's banter and stolen glances spoke volumes, hinting at a deeper connection waiting to bloom. The other friends also noticed how Benny and Madison were getting along. Damon watched Benny closely, a smile spreading across his face as he enjoyed seeing how relaxed and carefree she was while interacting with Madison.

The flickering flames and drifting sparks created a mesmerizing dance in the darkness, infusing the air with a mix of companionship and unspoken emotions. The friends' conversations ebbed and flowed in perfect unison, as they recounted tales and reminisced, while the fire painted shifting shadows that swayed in time with the music.

In this moment, under the starlit sky and surrounded by friends, Benny was finding herself drawn to Madison in a way she couldn't quite explain, This new feeling towards another girl was a first for Benny. Madison's smile, her laughter, and her mere presence seemed to enchant Benny. As the night progressed, their bond deepened, resembling a melody rising to its peak.

Bowie excitedly pulled out his iPad, exclaiming, "Hey, let's play an oldie!" This piqued everyone's interest. Benny chuckled, taking another sip of her mixed drink. "Alright, Bo, how far back are we going?" Bowie grinned, "Let's go 2012 old." This announcement elicited a chorus of excited "ooo's" from the group. "Fuck it, let's do it," declared Amelia. Madison's face lit up with excitement, as she had grown up listening to their older music. Damon laughs, are you going to tell us which song? Bowie said, "nope you will find out soon."

As Bowie began to mix the beats and play the song, laughter rippled through the group as they instantly recognized the tune. Amelia couldn't help but notice the spark of excitement in Madison's eyes. This particular song was a duet between Benny and her when they were younger, but Amelia was inspired and saw how excited Madison was. Amelia had a sudden idea. "Hey, Maddie girl, why don't you sing this duet with Benny?" she suggested, a playful glint in her eye. Madison stuttered, "Ar...are you sure?" Uncertain but encouraged by Amelia's nod and smile, she felt a rush of nerves. Benny leaned over, giving Madison's shoulder a playful shove as she reached for her guitar. "You ready, Mads?" Benny asked with a smile. "Yep," Madison replied, emphasizing the 'p' with a playful grin.

Bowie continued the mixing the beats until Damon picked up is bongo and Fallon picked up her Maraca. Benny then said lets gooo.
