Today's the day, the day we came for, the day we finally get to see My Chemical Romance! Me and Jodie agreed to forget about the recent events and just focus on what we came for.
We wake up early so we have enough time to get to the concert. We get ready and head for the city.
"So, where to? We have two hours to spare" Jodie asks as we make our way through Times Square.
"I think we both know where we need to go first…" I say, trying to dodge the many people walking on the sidewalk.
"THE POKEMON CENTRE!" We both scream in unison, as we smile madly at each other.

Fifteen minutes later and we finally arrive at the Pokémon center. It is massive! We walk through the big glass double doors and walk back out again.
"Oh my god Jess its sooo beautiful!" Squeals Jodie.
"I know! We are actually here! It's amazing" I reply. We walk back through the doors dodging people walking in and out.
The stores lit up with hundreds of yellow, glittering lights, and Pokémon characters hanging from the ceiling swinging back and forth. We spend a whole hour in the store until we finally agree to leave and head for the concert.

"Alright! The doors are now opening. No ticket, no entry. Don't try to sneak in, we will get you and drag you straight back out!" Yells a guard standing by the doors. Screams and whoops erupt from the multitude of people waiting outside the stadium. We start to move forward until we are only five meters away from the doors.

"OH MY GOD Jess! We are so close! I cannot believe this is really happening!" Screams Jodie.

"I know man! We're gonna see My Chemical Romance live!"

"Pinch me Jess, this isn't real" I do as I am told and pinch her.

"Jesus Jess! Why?!"

"You told me to!" I say through laughter.

"Tickets please" Holy crap we are at the doors. I fumble around getting mine and Jodie's tickets out and hand them to the guard. He looks at them for a few seconds, then tears off the ends. He hands them back and lets us in.

"Oh man, we're in. This is crazy" I say as we make our way to the stadium floor. We spot some space near the stage and run over before someone else fills it.

"I wonder who the opening act is going to be, I hope they're good" Jodie shouts, as the arena was getting quite full and the sound of talking and shouting rose.

"Yea, I wonder if we know who they are." I reply, though I'm cut off by the sound of screaming as the lights go down. We both turn to the stage and watch as three men walk towards the middle of the stage, their backs facing us, they raise their right arms in the air.

"Wait, is that….?"

"Oh my god, that's…."

"IT'S THE YEAR OF THE BEAST!"

"THE MIDNIGHT BEAST!" We both yell in unison. We have loved The Midnight Beast since they first started and know every lyric from every song they have written. We sing and dance with them as they play some of their best known songs like "Tik Tok", "Wands", Booty Call" and "Lez Be Friends".

"They must be a lesbian!" Sings Stefan (The lead singer) while…wait. Did he just…

"Oh my god Jess, he just pointed to us!" Yells Jodie.

"AHHH I can't believe it! Jodie, he knows we exist. He knows!" I scream back.

The Midnight Beast finishes the song and step up to the front of the stage.

"SO WHO'S READY FOR MY. CHEMICAL. ROMANCE?!" howls Ash. We scream at the top of our lungs. The crowd starts chanting "MCR" which we join in with. The stage then goes pitch black and the crowd continues to chant, getting louder by the second.

The beginning of "Welcome to the Black Parade" starts and me and Jodie scream, although our screams are drowned out by the crowds own screams. The lights go up and we are faced with Gerard, Mikey, Frank, Ray and Bob. They play all their songs from The Black Parade and Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge. They finish playing Famous Last words and the whole stadium screams as Gerard walks to the front of the stage.

"How's everyone finding the show?!"He yells. The crowd replies with a roar of approval.

"Well, good! We're gonna do something different for ya'll tonight. Two of you lucky people will be able to come backstage and hang out with us after the show!" The crowd scream with excitement.

"Oh my god Jodie! How freaking cool would it be if we got chosen?!" (Wink wink)

"I would die with happiness!" she replies.

"Okay, we are gonna send a spotlight round the whole stadium to pick out the two lucky kids! Frank, want to do the honors?" Frank nods and goes over to the right side of the stage to a light box. He flicks a switch and the stadium goes black; a single white light scans the stadium and the crowd erupts into shrieks. Me and Jodie jump up and down with excitement as we watch as the light start to slow down. We lose it as is goes behind us.

Suddenly, we are both blinded by a bright light. The spotlight. We look at the big screen by the stage and see our gobsmacked faces plastered on it.

"Holy…"

"Shit!" Jodie finishes my sentence. We have been chosen. We are gonna get to meet My Chemical Romance! (Whoa! Didn't expect that, did you? *Cough* what are the odds?!)

"Congrats you two! We will see you after the show!" Gerard says, pointing in our direction.

"What do you guys say if we play some of our early songs then?! He continues as he turns to the rest of the crowd, who in response cheer loudly. He turns around and nods to the rest of the band. They start playing as me and Jodie stand in disbelief.
