the energy in new york city was electric as jenna and juniper made their way to the concert venue. inhaler was one of juniper's favorite bands, and when she'd found out they were playing in the city, jenna had pulled some strings to get them vip tickets. the little section at the front, right side of the theatre offered a perfect view, and juniper was buzzing with excitement.

inhaler had been one of her favourite bands since the day she first discovered them, their music just made her so content. she had taken a few photos with fans who were on the other side of the barrier that separated their section from the crowd, knowing they were already being plastered over the internet as she speaks. but she didn't mind, she was in her happy place and nothing else mattered but spending time with jenna and enjoying some good music, and thinking about jack with every song inhaler played.

as they settled into their spots, the lights dimmed and the crowd erupted in cheers. the band took the stage, and elijah hewson's voice filled the room, setting the tone for an unforgettable night. juniper was completely in her element, singing along to every word, her eyes shining with admiration for the band.

halfway through the concert, elijah paused between songs, scanning the crowd with a mischievous smile. "we've got some very special people in the audience tonight," he announced, his irish accent thick and charming. "a big shoutout to juniper wren and jenna ortega! thanks for coming, you two!"

the crowd roared in response, and juniper's heart skipped a beat. she was both thrilled and embarrassed, waving shyly as a spotlight found her and jenna in their booth.

elijah continued, grinning at the audience. "now, this next one's a little different. we're going to cover a song by someone very close to us in the room tonight. you might know it—'feather,' by the incredible juni. but we're going to do it our way. hope you like it."

the opening chords of "feather" filled the theatre, but it had a completely different vibe. inhaler's version was edgier, with a rock twist that made it feel like a brand-new song. juniper was stunned, her eyes wide with surprise and delight. hearing her song performed by her favorite band, in their unique style, was surreal. she couldn't stop smiling, and neither could jenna, who nudged her playfully.

as the song ended, the crowd cheered loudly, clearly loving the unexpected cover. juniper felt her heart swell with pride and gratitude, deeply moved by the band's gesture.

after the concert, jenna and juniper were escorted backstage. the corridor buzzed with post-show adrenaline, and juniper felt a mix of excitement and nerves as they approached inhaler's dressing room. despite her own fame, juniper was starstruck—these were the musicians she had admired for years.

when they entered the room, the band greeted them warmly. elijah, still riding the high from the performance, was particularly excited to meet juniper, an artist he had admired for a while.

"there she is, the woman of the hour!" elijah said with a grin, holding his arms open. "thanks for letting us butcher your song tonight."

juniper laughed, joining in for the hug. "are you kidding? that was amazing! you guys made it your own, and it was so cool to hear it like that. i'm just honoured you even thought to cover it."

the band members were equally enthusiastic, showering juniper with compliments on her music. it was clear that the admiration was mutual—inhaler was thrilled to meet someone whose music they genuinely enjoyed.
