Chapter 3: The Concert
It was a beautiful afternoon in Paradise City, and at the LID stadium, things were getting set up for the spring concert that evening. On stage were Celina and her band the Lancers which were made up of a few kids from middle school, tuning up there instruments. While the rest of the band was prepping um their instruments, Celina was on her cell phone with Ian.
"I don't know Ian, I mean I'm fine with performing at the juice bar, but in front of a large crowd?" She said sounding a bit worried.
"Don't worry Celina, your sisters, all of your friends and I will be there." Ian said over the phone as Celina smiled.
"Thanks, Ian, I really appreciate it that your coming here tonight." She said as Ian chuckled.
"Awe, it's nothing. Anything to support my best friend." He said causing Celina to blush on the other end of the phone. "By the way keep an eye out for me in the crowd, you might find me where'd you leased expected." He said as Celina was confused.
"What do you mean by that?" She asked.
"You'll see." Ian said as Celina could feel her best friend grinning on the other side of the line.
"We'll okay, I'll be sure to keep an eye out for you." She said as she hung up.
"Hey Celina, are you ready?" Yuya called out to her as the purple haired girl turned to the green-red haired boy and nodded as she and her band began rehearsals. Later that night, the crowd began to fill in the stadium as the spring concert was in full swing. A few other local bands were also performing at the venue along with some special guest bands from out of town were performing. The Lancers were scheduled as the last band to perform as they were prepping themselves. As Yuya was tuning his guitar he looked to see Celina in her traditional Lancer's dress looking a bit worried.
"Hey are you alright?" Yuya asked approaching his girlfriend's sister as Celina snapped out of her daze and looked at him and nodded. "You're nervous aren't you?" He asked as Celina blushed.
"Nervous? Me? No! I'm just practicing my breathing exercises is all." Celina said trying to keep a straight face while she blushed in embarrassment.
"Hey, it's okay to be nervous. Remember it's not just your first time performing in front of a larger crowd, it's our first time as well." He said as the rest of the band approached them.
"Yuya's right." Gong said. "Gong himself is nervous about performing out there."
"I would be lying if I said I wasn't nervous." Sylvio said.
"But remember why this band was started in the first place." Dennis said. "It was all about having fun and entertaining people." Celina smiled as the other members, Moon and her cousin Shay nodded.
"Thanks everyone." She said as just then a stage manager came into their room and told them they were ready. "Well I guess this is it." Celina said with a deep breath as she and her gang carried their instruments to the stage. When everything was set up, Celina looked to her right to give the nod telling them they were ready.
"AND NOW LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, GET READY FOR THE FINAL PERFORMACE OF THE EVENING, THE LANCERS!" The announcer said as the curtain was raised as the group looked out to the thousands and thousands of people in attendance.
"Ian where are you." Celina muttered as she looked out into the crowd as something caught her eye. She looked and was surprised to see Ian sitting in the front row along with all of her friends and family. She was especially surprised when Ian held a sign up with her name on it with a heart to dot the lower case 'I', that had a cat tail and whiskers on it. "Ian…" She muttered again as she then regained her confidence and took the mike into her hand. "Good Evening Paradise City! Are you ready to rock one last time?" She asked as the crowd cheered back in response. "Alright, then here we go!" She said as her band begun playing a she began to sing. Ian was amazed by her voice as his heart almost skipped a beat with every word she sang along with her dancing in the dress she was wearing. When the Lancers were finished performing they went backstage to their room where they were greeted by their friends and family.
"Celina!" Ian said as he ran over to her picking her up and giving her a little spin before putting her down as she giggled at his affection. "You were great out there." He said as he looked at the rest of the band. "All of you were."
"Thank Ian." Yuya said as Ian nodded.
"So, Ian." Celina said. "I noticed you held a sign with my name on it with a little heart on it?" Giving her friend a mischievous smile as Ian laughed nervously.
"Yeah, about that, at first I thought it was cute, but it was also about something else." He said as Celina raised an eyebrow.
"About what?" She asked as Ian let out a deep breath as he looked at her.
"Celina, you've been my best friend ever since we met, and I wanted to tell you this, but I'm afraid I may lose you because of it…" He was soon interrupted when Celina tugged his shirt and planted a kiss on his lips everyone gasping in surprise as she let go.
"Don't worry, I know what you meant." She said as he was still stunned.
"So does that mean?" He asked as Celina playfully punched him.
"Yes, you idiot, I love you too." She said as a grin came on Ian's face as he pulled her in for a second kiss as all around them they're friends smiled.
