The lights dimmed. The crowd went wild. It was a very familiar feeling to Jen. A feeling she craved. The band walked out onto the stage and there he was. From the balcony they could make out a lot more than what the crowd could. In the dark, Paul looked up to where they were and smiled. Jomm started jumping up and down, grabbing Jen's arm.

"He looked at you!" Jen chuckled, she obviously didn't know that Jen knew him quite well. She joined in on the fan-girling nonetheless. Even though they hadn't spoken properly in 6 years, she had kept an eye on them. Every new song, album, tour. They had spoken here and there over the years but never seen each other.

The boys stood in the corner together, struggling to cope with the girls jumping and screaming next to them. Mew was used to it with his sister but Gulf was bemused. He was seeing a lot of different sides to Jen tonight, more than in the whole month they've known each other.

The song finished and the crowd screamed. Paul thanked everyone for coming and introduced the band. After chatting to the crowd for a while he turned his attention to something else.

"There's a very special person at tonights concert that I'd like to introduce to you." The crowd screamed again. The lights in the room lifted and exposed everyone. He turned up towards the balcony and Jen's stomach panicked. "I'm sure you're all aware of a certain REDSAID member." So much for keeping under the radar. "This band has a very special place in our heart, takes us back to our start and how we became a band. It's hard to believe REDSAID opened for us on our first tour and now they're one of the biggest bands around." He laughed, Jen's face went red from the sudden shoutout. "I hope to see you after the show..."

The crowd below turned to her direction and if it were possible, the screams got louder. She gave a wave at the flashing cameras. Mew and Gulf stood behind her, shielding themselves. She turned back to the them and encouraged them to wave.

The music started back up again and the attention was diverted back to the main stage.
