"I feel like we've been drifting," Mikey says.

"I feel the same," I reply.

"You've been spending all your free time with your little boyfriend," he pouts.

"I don't deny it, but we're still in the first stage. Y'know, the new couples 'I love you so much' phase," I say.

"How about we do something today?" he suggests.

"Cool with me. But what?"

"Bowling?"

"Nah, too boring,"

"Pizza date?"

"I'm tired of pizza," I say and Mikey gasps.

"Oh! How could I forget? There's a music festival downtown. I heard All Time Low will be there," he says.

"I'm there. When should I be ready?" I ask.

"An hour,"

An hour?! That's hardly any time! I run upstairs and take a quick shower. I shave my legs lazily and change into a pair of ripped up boyfriend capris. I slide on my ATL shirt and all black vans.

I check my phone. Only thirty seven minutes? New record!

"Mikey? I'm ready!" I call as I walk down the steps.

"Yup!" I see he's in his Mayday Parade shirt.

"Will they be there too?!" I ask excitedly. He nods.

"Ahh! I've always wanted to meet Brooks Betts," I say.

"We know," Calum says out of nowhere.

"Holy shit! Look at the lineup," I say as I look over the program type thing.

Mayday Parade, All Time Low, Sleeping with Sirens, Blink 182, Green Day, Pierce the Veil, We the Kings, Three Days Grace, The Maine, The Ready Set, Boys like Girls, Panic! At the Disco, 5 Seconds of Summer, Taking Back Sunday, Fall Out Boy, and A Day to Remember, all in one place. It's like a dream come true.

"Is this like a weekend long thing?" I ask him.

"Yeah. Tomorrow the boys and I have to record, so you can come alone if you wanna," he says.

"Who's performing today?" I ask.

"Hmm...You'll have to check," he replies.

So I do. A Day to Remember, Three Days Grace, All Time Low, The Maine, and The Ready Set are performing. Five bands are forming tomorrow and the other five are performing Sunday.

Hold the phone...Did I see their name?

I check again to see if I'm going crazy. Boys Like Girls, Panic! At the Disco, 5 Seconds of Summer...

"What the hell? Why didn't you tell me you were playing?!" I ask him.

"Surprise?" he smiles innocently.

"I hate you," I shove him gently.

Michael and I make our way to the main stage where All Time Low will be performing. I mentally prepare myself for my first experience with them in person.

"I'm so excited," I say to him.

"I can tell," he chuckles at me.

"They are literally my favorite artists. They seem so fun and nice too," I say.

"Trust me, they are," he says.

"What?" I ask.

"They're loads of fun," he answers.

"You've met them?!" I shriek.

"Yeah! I thought you knew. They're helping us with our album," he tells me.

"No! You nincompoops don't tell me shit," I hit him across the shoulder.

"Damn, chill with the hitting," he chuckles and rubs his shoulder lightly.

"Hello! Thank you for coming to the first day of this charity event designed specifically around children's wishes," the man with the microphone says.

"Today, we are granting six wishes. Abby wished to see Three Days Grace in concert. Mason wished to meet All Time Low and experience a concert. Both Kyle and Amanda wished to see The Ready Set and have a nice lunch with them. Randy wished to take an epic selfie with The Maine while they were performing. And finally, Shawn wished to experience the awesomeness of an A Day To Remember concert," he says. Everybody claps.

"Without further a due, here is All Time Low, with the special appearance from Mason!" The crowd claps again as they enter the stage.

"You guys ready for our fucking awesome set?!" Alex screams.
