"Lemon, check this out!" Orange leapt on to her blonde friend and held a ticket in front of his face. "I got tickets to a concert!"

Lemon carefully took the slip of paper from his friend as she jumped off his back. It read, "DJ Cookie, 6:15 PM, Choco Theatre."

His eyes lit up. DJ Cookie was a huge musician online, but he never knew that DJ had any concerts. Come to think of it, Lemon did remember seeing them posting something about having their first concert.

"No way, Orange!" he exclaimed. "Where'd you get this?"

"Oh, just from a friend of mine," Orange answered with a grin. Of course. She had a million friends.

"Oh. When does it start?"

"Look at your ticket!"

Lemon glanced down at his ticket again and read it closely. July 19th. It was today! He then read the clock on the wall. 6:02. The concert would be starting in thirteen!

"Why'd you give this to me now?" Lemon asked in panic. "It takes forty minutes to get to Choco theatre!"

"But it'll only take ten with the help of Hero!" Orange dialed a number on her phone. After they talked for ten seconds, Lemon heard a low rumble from above him and Hero landed by his side.

"Sup, Lemon?" Hero greeted from behind his suit and stretched out his hand. "Heard you and Orange needed some help!"

"Damn right," Lemon agreed, laughing. "Could you take us to Choco Theatre?"

"Of course!" Hero nodded as he grabbed Lemon and Orange's arms. "Hold on tight!"

"Wait wh-"

With that, Hero blasted off into the sky, carrying two screaming teens. One was having the time of her life and the other was just scared out of his wits. By the time Hero landed, Lemon was so shaken up he could barely stand.

"That was AWESOME!" Orange cheered. "Thanks, Hero!"

"No probs! Now, I gotta blast!"

And he flew away once more.

Lemon muttered something inaudible and kept walking towards the entrance of the theatre.

Inside, the lights were dimmed but the other Cookies already got seated. The stage was empty, but Lemon guessed that's where DJ would be making their grand reveal. The two quickly found their seats and sat down.

Meanwhile, at the backstage in DJ's room, DJ sat on the couch reading the program.

"Hey, Deej?" Pink Choco knocked DJ's door, signifying she was present. "We might have a problem here..."

"Whatever it is, I think I can handle it," DJ replied, fixing his visor.

"Well, you see..." Pink Choco sat down next to him. "There's this light on the ceiling that's kind of unstable, and it's right on top of your stage."

"If you're implying me to cancel, I can't do it now," DJ sighed as he slipped into his jacket. "This is my first concert and I don't want to upset my fans."

Pink Choco crossed her arms.

"As your manager, I'm worried that something bad might happen."

"As a grown man, I can make my own decisions. Trust me, nothing bad will happen."

"Whatever."

"DJ, you're up!" called a voice from outside the room.

"Welp, gotta go!" DJ strode past Pink Choco. "Enjoy the show!"

He entered his DJ box and the stage under him began rising slowly. When he finally made it up the stairs, he heard a loud cheer from the crowd. DJ wasn't expecting so many people.

"Are you ready?" he exclaimed into the microphone. The crowd roared.

With that, he began clicking a series of buttons, generating a familiar beat and sound.

Meanwhile, in the crowd, Lemon could only marvel at the music. Next to him, Orange smiled widely and bobbed her head to the beat.

DJ performed all the songs on the program and had one left to go. In the middle of the song, the light above him creaked and and dropped a bit lower.

Lemon, who was enjoying the music, noticed the light and immediately tapped Orange in concern. She didn't do anything, so he assumed she didn't feel him.

The light dropped lower. Then lower. Then, it only held on by the cord. Finally, it gave way and plummeted toward DJ's head.

In a flash, Lemon reached his arm out and shot a spark of electricity out and it blasted the light into pieces before it could reach DJ. The debris landed around the stage.

The crowd gasped and turned to Lemon, then back to DJ. Shyly, Lemon sunk back into his chair and buried himself in his jacket.

Right after the incident, the stage crew quickly rushed DJ off the stage and Pink Choco announced that the rest of the show was cancelled and there would be no more autographs. The crowd groaned and stood up, all leaving the auditorium.

As Lemon exited his row, a member of the stage crew whispered into his ear and told him to go backstage. Lemon turned to Orange, who shrugged and gave him a thumbs up. Nervously, he followed the crew member into the backstage.

He entered a room to see DJ sitting on a chair and Pink Choco beside him.

The first thing Lemon could think of doing was apologizing.

"I'm so sorry!" Lemon covered his face. "I ruined your concert!"

"What? No, kid!" DJ stood up and walked over to Lemon. "If you didn't do what you did, there would be no more concerts ever!"

"I- I didn't know what else to do."

"We called you here because DJ wanted to thank you!" Pink Choco explained. "You saved their life!"

"H-huh...?"

"Yeah, thanks, kid!" DJ smiled. "It was totally awesome when you blasted that light to pieces!"

"And who told you not to go on today?" Pink Choco rolled her eyes.

"Psshhh, if I didn't go on, I wouldn't have met this kid!" DJ laughed. "What's your name?"

"I'm... uh... Lemon. Lemon Cookie."

"Radicle!" DJ held out his hand for Lemon to shake, which he did. "And you obviously know who I am. Unless you're a first timer."

Lemon couldn't believe it. His idol was standing right in front of him and shaking his hand. He would have never imagined this in a thousand years."

"It's just that- I'm a huge fan of your music and I never expected to meet you in person-" Lemon stuttered, trying to find his words. "I don't know what to say..."

"Well, I have something to say!" DJ placed his hand on Lemon's shoulder. "I bet no other fan can shoot a falling light during a concert! Because you saved my life, I'll let you come for free to all my future concerts! You can flex on your friends, or something."

"R-really...? That's really kind of you..."

"It's nothing, Lemon!" DJ gave him a large grin. "Also, if you ever need something from me, feel free to call Pink!"

"DJ, we have to leave now," Pink Choco tapped her watch. "We can always chat with Lemon later on. Feel free to take one of these CDs, kid!"

That night, Lemon left the Choco Theatre with a new friend, a new CD, and a giant smile on his face. Orange was waiting for him outside.

"Well?" Orange rushed up to him. "How'd that go? Judging from that smile on your face, it must have been good."

Lemon didn't respond. He could only smile more and nod up and down. Orange laughed and they walked back to their homes together.
