Lost In Space | D.P.

[Fluff]
Inspired by Avantasia's 'Lost in Space'

You could barely contain your excitement as you waited for the show to start. The packed auditorium hummed with eager conversation, but all you could focus on was the anticipation bubbling inside you. You glanced at Dex, who smiled warmly and squeezed your hand. This concert had been a beacon for you for months, a chance to see Avantasia perform live—a band whose music had seen you through most of your childhood.

The show began, and each song filled the room with energy and emotion. You were swept away, singing along and cheering with the crowd, feeling a deep connection to every lyric and melody. You didn't know the setlist, and it didn't matter; you knew every song by heart.

As the concert continued, you lost yourself in the music, the lights, and the electric atmosphere. Then, the stage went dark for a moment. The crowd hushed, and you felt a tingling sense of anticipation. Suddenly, the first haunting chords of "Lost in Space" filled the room. Your breath caught in your throat.

Tears sprang to your eyes immediately. You hadn't known when they would play it, but the intro struck you like a bolt of lightning. You stood there, your heart pounding, and then you began to sing along with Tobias Sammet, the lead singer. "Another star has fallen without sound. Another spark has burned out in the cold."

Your voice wavered but didn't falter. Tears of joy streamed down your face, each one a release of the pent-up emotions you had carried for so long. Dex's arm wrapped around your shoulders, pulling you close. You leaned into the embrace, feeling the steady, reassuring presence of Dex beside you.

"Another door to barrens standing open," you continued, your voice blending with the crowd but feeling so uniquely your own. "And who is there to tell me not to give in, not to go?"

The chorus hit, and your voice quavered with emotion, but you pressed on. "How could I know, how could I know? That I'll get lost in space to roam forever."

Your tears flowed freely, but your voice remained strong. "How could I know, how could I see? Feeling like lost in space to roam forever."

As the song continued, your emotions surged with each line. "I'm crawling down, the doorway to the badlands. Been kicking down all your hurdles to the black."

Clutching at Dex, you felt the tears soaking through your shirt. You kept singing, your voice now filled with pure, unfiltered joy. "And all the damage fading in the rearview mirror, and the demons are calling me, they're dragging me away."

The chorus swelled again, and your voice rang out, full of elation and gratitude. "How could I know, how could I know? That I'll get lost in space to roam forever."

Your voice quivered on the last word, but you kept going, pouring your soul into every note. "How could I know, how could I see? Feeling like lost in space to roam forever."

You joined in with Amanda Somerville's ethereal backing vocals, your voice merging seamlessly. "Lost in space, lost in time. Lost in space, lost in time. Lost in space."

As the song swelled to its powerful climax, your voice rang out, full of elation and gratitude. "How could I know, how could I know? That I'll get lost in space to roam forever."

Tobi's voice soared, and you followed, your spirit soaring with the music. "How could I know, how could I see? Feeling like lost in space to roam forever."

The final, haunting echoes of "Forever" filled the auditorium. When the last notes faded, you looked up at Dex, your eyes red and puffy but shining with happiness. Dex smiled at you, then leaned in to kiss your forehead gently.

Your heart swelled, feeling an overwhelming gratitude for this moment, for Dex, for the music that had brought you here. In that moment, surrounded by a sea of strangers and the fading strains of your favorite song, you felt a piece of yourself click into place.
