Raven was jumping around, hyping the crowd up as Mai was doing her drum solo. And with one final crash of the ride cymbals, Raven shouted, "WHAT THE FUCK IS UP, MANCHESTER?!"

The audience screamed in response, causing Raven to flinch.

"Okay, so, yesterday we sold out a six thousand capacity venue, and tonight we sold out twenty five hundred, which is pretty damn cool! So... we've decided to give something very special for you guys," Raven smirked.

Some stage crew member nyoomed onstage and swapped out Alex's guitar for an acoustic one and then nyoomed backstage.

Raven looked over at Alex, who mouthed the words, Do I have to?

Bitch, what the fuck, yes you do, Raven mouthed back.
Alex sighed as she licked her plectrum and stuck it on her forehead.

DALLON WEEKES W H O?

She slung the guitar strap over her shoulder and took the plectrum back into her right hand, and began playing the intro to "Famous".

(Y/N) and Luna had nothing to do so they just sat on the ground and played "Concentration 64" with memes and vines.

When the audience realized what song was playing, they started cheering enthusiastically.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome, the one and only, MASON RAMSEY!" Raven announced.

The famed Walmart yodeler walked onstage with his traditional getup.

From a distance, he looked shorter than Raven, but as he approached (Y/N)'s mic stand, it was soon clear that Raven was much shorter than him.

In fact, she was probably the shortest person in the entire venue.

Poor Raven.

Mai almost missed her cue to start drumming, since she kind of forgot that there were drums in this song.

When they finished the song, (Y/N) and Jacci were trying to recreate the "If she breathes, she's a thot" meme using Mai's spare drumsticks.

The audience went wild, screaming for an encore.

Then someone in the front shouted, "DO THE YODEL!"
Then people around him started chanting, "YODEL, YODEL, YODEL!"

Mason looked over at Raven. She just shrugged and said, "It's totally up to you."

Mason moved the mic out of the way. Suddenly the entire venue went silent. All eyes were on Mason.

And then.

He yodeled.

He yodeled hard.

So much so that Mai fell backwards off her seat with a terrific oof.

-

"Thank y'all for coming tonight!" Raven exclaimed. She ushered Mason, who was watching from the wings, to come back onstage. "Please give a round of applause for Mason fucking Ramsey!" Raven shouted.

The audience cheered, shouting Mason's name.
Raven and Mason bowed, and then Mason ran offstage, waving at the audience as he did so.

"And a great big thanks to the opening bands, Oldsoul from Lowell, Massachusetts, and Trash Rabbit from Newton, Mass!" Alex added, shouting into her microphone with a smile plastered onto her face.

"Well, I had a great time tonight," Raven said. "Glad it didn't turn out like that one Ariana Grande concert in Manchester 5 years ago."

Half of the audience burst into laughter, and the other half began jeering and shouting profanities at Raven.

(Y/N) walked up to Raven and whispered, "We should probably take this as our cue to leave."

Raven nodded. They all ran offstage, but not without Raven shouting one last comment, "Stay safe!"

-

They all piled into the tour bus, with Luna and Alex flopping onto one of the couches and (Y/N) and Raven crashing on the one opposite them.

"Raven, you insensitive fuck, why would you do that?!" (Y/N) exasperated.

Raven shrugged. "When I thought of Manchester, the first thing that came to mind was that suicide bombing in the UK."

"I thought it was a shooting?" Alex asked, confused.

Mai rolled her eyes, "Not every act of mass murder is a shooting, Alex."

"Shut your whore mouth, Harrison," Alex snapped at the shorter girl.

Mai just shrugged. Then a box of donuts on the counter caught her eye.

The others began chatting it up, while Mai continued to stare at the box.

"Well, let's focus on another topic," Luna attempted to change the subject, "Lexie, what did you get Frank for his birthday?"

"Uhh..." Alex shifted her eyes all around the bus as Raven, (Y/N), and Luna all looked at her curiously.

"I mean, I got him a new guitar pedal," (Y/N) shrugged.

"Lexie, did you not get him a present?" Luna chuckled.

"...I gave him my virginity?"

"Oh. Okay," Raven chuckled, "that was unexpected."

After about 10 minutes of continuous chatting between the four girls, (Y/N) looked over at Mai. "Mai, what the fuck is so fascinating about a box of donuts?!"

Mai looked over at (Y/N) with dead eyes. She pointed down at the box and said, "I forgot we had donuts."
