"Alright dude. Ready to go?" I asked. Kyle jumped up and down with a huge smile on his face.

"Yes yes yes! Let's go!" He said with exitement.

I smiled and opened up the front door. Kyle ran out of the house and bolted over to the car. I locked the door and walked over to the car aswell. I unlocked it and sat in the drivers seat with Kyle next to me in the passenger's seat. He was wearing his favorite green day long sleeve, ripped jeans, converse, and I spiked up his blonde hair for him.

Before I started up the car, Kyle handed me Dookie and I put it in the radio for him. He immediately turned it to Longview and sang along to it. I smiled and pulled out of the driveway.

The ride wasnt too terrible. Aurora, Illinois to Chicago, Illinois, which is about 57 minutes. Just as I thought, the entire car ride was of Kyle and I singing along to every Green Day song on Dookie. I swear, that boy is obsessed with this album. 

We soon arrive and Kyle almost got out of the car before it even stopped moving. I guess we got there early because we were able to go up in the front. Soon after, others started filling in. My older sister senses started to kick in. I didn't want to ruin got for Kyle, but some intense looking people were coming in, and I didn't want him to get trampled or hurt. I just shook off the feeling.

I didn't know the names of any of the guys from this band. I only new their faces from M.T.V and their albums. Soon, a guy with crazy green hair came out on stage. He jumped around a bit and then went to the drum set. Kyle screamed.

"That's Tré Cool!" He yelled with excitement. 

Then, a guy with unkept brown hair walked out. He had lots of earrings and was holding a bass. He's kind of attractive. Wait what? I need to stop with that! 

"That's Mike Dirnt!" Kyle yelled. 

Then a guy with messy blonde hair, earrings, a nose ring and a tie walked out. When this guy showed up, Kyle flipped out.

"Oh my God Billie Joe Armstrong! Yes!" Kyle screamed with excitement. I smiled as he yelled their names. Then the Billie Joe guy said something that quickly snapped me out of my thoughts.

"What's up you mother fuckers!" He yelled with a smile.

Kyle laughed at Billie Joe's words. I kind of just stood there for a bit, and then I shook it off. They began to play a song that I recognized as Christie Road. Kyle jumped up and down and sang along.

About an hour passed by and the concert was still going. They played songs like Welcome To Paradise, 2,000 Lightyears Away, Paper Lanterns, and many more. The drummer even played guitar and sang Dominated Love Slave and All By My Self, the special song on Dookie that plays if you keep in the CD for about five minutes after the last song ends.

"So this is the last song tonight. It's a little something I like to call Longview." Billie Joe said. The crowd cheered and Kyle looked like he was going to cry from excitement.

"Wait wait wait. You guys didn't let me finish. Now I have a question. Who here knows the lyrics to Longview? And don't lie to me. I need someone who knows every single word." He said.

Kyle's hand shot up in the air, along with many others. He wouldn't be seen with all of these 15-27 year olds around him.

"Keep your hand up!" I said. Kyle nodded. I picked him up so he was a above most of the crowd. Billie Joe looked in our direction.

"You know the words to this song?" He asked Kyle. Kyle nodded his head rapidly. "You, small child, know this song?" Billie Joe asked. 

"Yup!" Kyle yelled. 

"I need you to swear to me that you know all of the words to this song." Billie Joe said.

"I swear to you, Billie Joe Armstrong, that I know every single word in the song Longview." Kyle said as he was still being held up by me.

"Alright, get your ass up here!" He said. I put Kyle down, and one of the gaurds brought Kyle over the barrier and up on stage.

"What's your name kid?" Billie Joe asked. He gave the microphone to Kyle.

"Kyle!" He said with a smile.

"And how old are you Kyle?" Billie Joe asked.

"I just turned 11 last week. My sister took me here as a birthday present." Kyle responded.

"Nice! Happy late birthday little man. Ok you wait right here." Billie Joe then brought the microphone back up to him. "Who here can play the bassline for Longview?" He asked. Another bunch of hands shot up. I didn't put my hand up because I wanted to give someone the chance to talk to their idols. Then Kyle tapped on Billie Joe's shoulder.

"What's up kid?" Billie Joe asked.

"My sister can play Longview on the bass!" He said.

"Oh really? And where is this awesome sister of yours?" Billie Joe asked. Kyle then pointed to me. My eyes widened as the band and the entire crowd looked at me. I nervously smiled and waved.

"Oh ok. Hey, Kyle's sister! Get your ass up here!" He yelled. I jumped the barriers and let the guard help me up on stage.

I then walked up to Kyle and Billie Joe. I was about the same height as him.

"So, what's your name?" Billie Joe asked.

"Erin." I said with a smile.

"Erin. What a beautiful name! And how old are you?" He asked.

"22." I said. Billie Joe made a fake gasp.

"I'm 22 too! Well Erin, Mike should hand over his bass and then when Tré starts playing his drums, go crazy with that bass." He said with a smile.

"Am I allowed to say the cuss words?" Kyle asked. Billie Joe just looked at him.

"What the hell kind of a question is that? Of course you're allowed to say the God damn cuss words!" Billie Joe said. Kyle laughed.

I walked over to Mike and smiled. He smiled back and handed me the bass. Then Tre started the song. After a few seconds, I started to play the bassline. The crowd cheered and Mike gave me a look of amazement. Soon after, Kyle started to sing-I mean yell the lyrics. I stood there playing the bass with a smile on my face.

"MY MOTHER SAYS TO GET A JOB, BUT SHE DON'T LIKE THE ONE SHE'S GOT! WHEN MASTURBATION'S LOST ITS FUN YOU'RE FUCKING BREAKING!" Kyle yelled into the microphone. I continued to play the bass, but my eyes widened and my mouth hung open. The crowd just laughed.

Soon the song ended and I handed the bass back to Mike.

"Well that was Kyle and Erin, thank you guys for coming out tonight! Bye!" He said into the microphone. The crowd started to leave. I saw Billie Joe whisper something in Kyle's ear. He nodded with a huge smile, and then ran over to me.

"Billie Joe wants us to come backstage!" He yelled with a smile as he was jumping up and down.
