Elena has finished packing and puts her things in the back of Maarten's car. "Are you ready Elena" asks Maarten happily. "I've been looking forward to this since we got the tickets!" with a smile from ear to ear she says goodbye to Tim, he cannot come to Graspop unexpectedly because an accident happened at work and he has to fill in. "Maarten, I count on you to take care of her and keep her away from other men", says Tim to Maarten, who responds with a nod of his head.
Not much later they are on their way to Dessel and Elena texts the boys a photo of her and Maarten with many happy smileys.
Once there they take their bags from the car and enter the line to enter the festival, it will take a while before the terrain opens so they plop down on their bags. "Hey Elena, just about what Tim said to me" Maarten says. "You know what I think of him and I'm actually glad he can't come along, what matters to me is you just go ahead and have fun, I won't say anything to that jerk". Elena has to laugh about this, Maarten and Tim have never been on the same page. "I'm not planning to share a bed with everyone else, don't worry about that. But it does get a bit more relaxed to just have fun, yes, so thank you "and she looks at him smiling.
After a while they are allowed to enter the terrain and pitch their tent in a nice spot. They decide to sleep in Maarten's tent and put their things in Elena's tent because Maarten does not like leaving Elena alone. Despite the fact that Graspop is pretty quiet when it comes to perverts, you always have a few and he doesn't want to take any chances.
Together they explore "the holy ground" as it is called on Graspop and the first bands start to play. It is enjoyable, Elena can do whatever she wants without fear of Tim calling her back and punishing her. In the evening they both walk back to their tent tired and drunk but satisfied and soon they fall asleep.
The next day the festival starts, the big bands close the day and the day guests are also there. It's a great day, it's nice and sunny but not too hot. They watch different top bands and have a lot of contact with other people. Maarten ensures that Elena does not get crowed surfers on her neck and she slips everywhere to get beer for both of them. In the evening they sit on the floor with a beer and chips, watching the end of the evening. The night continues for a long time and at 4 AM they decide to go back to the tent.
The next morning around 9am, Elena wakes up from her phone ringing. It is Hannes she sees on the screen. "You do have the habit of waking me up, hey Hannes" she answers. Hannes laughs about this. "Yes I can't help it, princess" he laughs. "But we are there, we just put the bus down in its place". Hannes cannot finish his sentence because Elena happily screams through it and tries to wake Maarten. "what time do you want to meet? Hannes asks. "Then we ensure that we also go onto the site" is the next question. "The festival site is only open from 11 am, so do you agree at 11 am?" Elena asks. "Yes is good, at mainstage 2 we will wait okay?" says Hannes, who thought that a place on this large site is also convenient to meet. They say goodbye and Elena decides to get dressed. Then she stands in the short line at the toilet. She has to laugh again that the row for the boys is much longer than the row for the ladies, which of course is often the other way around.
When she returns to the tent Maarten is also awake. "What do we want for breakfast?" he asks. "Something edible" is Elena's answer, which earns her a slap on the head. Maarten gets to work and not much later they sit with on their lap a plate of pasta. "Would you like to come along at 11 am" Elena asks Maarten. "where to ?" he asks with his mouth full of pasta. "The guys from Sabaton are here and just called to meet". Maarten looks at her. "The guys from Sabaton? How did they get your number? " Maarten asks incredulously. Elena smiles and explains how they got to know each other and became good friends. "In the meantime they have just become 5 brothers of mine" she concludes her story. A little later Elena is called again. This time it is Chris who laughs and starts the conversation. "Hey Elena, I know we agreed to meet at 11 o'clock, but I was wondering if you can come now? Joakim could use your help, he cut his hand but refuses to go to the first aid stand. " In the background Elena hears Joakim shout, "Those quacks can't get my hand! I'll solve it myself! ". then There is some shouting back and forth in Swedish. "I can already hear it, I tidy up my stuff and then I will be there. Is it okay if I bring a friend with me ? " Elena asks to be sure. "As long as you get Jocke's hand healed I don't think it matters "laughs Chris. "I'll wait for you at the entrance of the artist area okay, otherwise you won't come in.".
Elena and Maarten quickly eat their food and clean up the things. Then they look for the artist's entrance, which is even more difficult than expected because it is not indicated anywhere and employees do not want to say where it is.
After some time searching they found the entrance and it didn't take long to find Chris. Elena hugs him and gives him a big hug. "That's a long time ago" she says to him to which Chris just grabs her more firmly and gives a kiss on the top of her head. Then Elena introduces Maarten and the three of them go to the bus of Sabaton.
