The night of the concert was cold. It was so cold that the groups of fans that had arrived there were huddling to each other for warmth in large masses that consisted of heads and legs. Hands were in pockets of other people's coats and jaws shivered. The poor people found that even three layers of clothing couldn't keep out the cold.

"I can't feel my feet!" Usagi whined, shifting her weight slightly while burying her nose into the baka's chest.

"You don't have feet! You're a flame!" Mamoru laughed, reciting a gas company advert

"Shut up! I do have feet! but I can't feel them"

"Aww look at the happy couple, all cute and cuddly" Motoki giggled, yes, giggled, whilst Sapphire stood close to him, chuckling deeply.

"SHUT UP, MOTOKI!" His ear drums were burst moments later by two roars.

Usagi had caught a cold at the beginning of the week and taken the Wednesday off to try and make herself feel better but this only proved to make it hurt more the next two days. By Friday dinner time she was ready to just go home and sleep and almost considered giving someone else her ticket. Her nose hurt and wouldn't stop running, her throat was sore and she couldn't talk, her head pounded and she generally felt bad. But then she'd spent the equivalent of $50 dollars on the ticket. And it was three of her favourite bands. And Tom Smith was really cute, so was Nick McCarthy... and it would be a shame to miss seeing her favourite band live... If she felt too bad she could always just leave after Editors' set and go home and sleep, then maybe she'd get Monday off sick too.

Yes, She was most definitely going.

They arrived at the ice arena at 5:30, and sadly, the show didn't start till 7:30. They did find that they were towards the front however for an excellent view as the lights dimmed and the first band of the evening came on.

"Alright everybody! Everyone ready to rock?" A tall, gangly man with black bangs grinned at the crowd who shouted numerous cheers before the drums and bass kicked in, followed by guitar and the vocals. The band turned out to be The Rakes, a popular British band that were just starting to make it to the big time. Usagi had discovered that she shared a liking for the song "Twenty Two Grand Job" with Sapphire, it being the only song by The Rakes either actually knew. By the end of the bands set, the song was played as their finishing piece, dedicated to a local band, The Paddingtons.

"This girl from work looks alright,

But the lights are too bright.

Bloke in sales likes her too.

What am I supposed to do?

When he's earning twenty Eight,

I'm on Twenty Two,

It's alright, It's alright.

Twenty two grand job,

In the city that's alright.

Twenty two grand job,

In the city it's alright.

Twenty two grand job,

In the city that sounds nice

It's alright,

That's alright,

In the city it's alright!"

The majority of the audience threw their hands up in a V shape like the peace sign, Usagi and Sapphire grinning madly and waving their hands in time. This however stopped part way through when Alex Kapranos of Franz Ferdinand was spotted by the group, excluding Motoki, but including several other members of the audience around them in which time Usagi grabbed Sapphire and Mamoru's hands and jumped up and down cheering for a few moments.

The band left the stage, wishing the audience a fun night, then half an hour was spent listening to various music whilst the stage was set up for the next band that happened to be Usagi's favourite band, Editors. The show was sensational and gave them a chance to calm down after The Rakes had managed to get the majority of the audience dancing.

Editors came on, all members dressed in black and white, smiling slightly and began playing yet another of Usagi's favourites.

Few people had actually heard of the band at this point so not many actually knew the words but Usagi caught sight of a guy the same age who seemed to know the words aswell, a smile curling his lips and short brown curls on top of his head. Usagi smiled to him and he exchanged it before a guitar and singing cut through the air.

"I still love the lights on baby,

Keeps me awake but I don't mind"

Tom Smith stood centre stage with a black guitar, his eyes travelling over the crowd and Usagi swooned as the rest of the band picked up the song.

"Everything I always wanted,

Is right here, but soon it won't be...

For long,

If fortune favours the brave,

I am poor as they come.

I've got a million things to say,

I've got a million things to..."

Usagi cheered and turned towards Mamoru who realised that this was one of the two songs she'd wanted them to play. The set kept going and Tom smith had problems with his guitars, had to change them over constantly. The rest of the band kept going and the guitarist almost seemed to be unaware of the audience till he looked out over them.

There was another half hour between sets after Editors closed with "Open your arms and welcome". The crowd got more and more excited as the night progressed and despite the people who stood on Usagi's toes and the woman who kept backing into her, the final band who everyone had come for came on stage. Usagi was glad to see that they'd had the guitarists for each band in front of them, with the singers to their right in the centre of the stage with the bassists to the very right of the stage and the drummer somewhere between the two.

Usagi found all her favourite songs, save one, were played by all bands, Franz Ferdinand choosing to not play "Gonna have to tell her tonight". The loss was however made up for by having a fantastic view of Tom Smith during Editors' set and Nick McCarthy during Franz Ferdinand's set. Later on the group where all pleased to realise that they'd been stood in the second row meaning they were no less then six foot away from the actual guitarists.

Turned out that going to the concert had been all she needed to get better after all. She felt much better, and save her poor feet which had been crushed by various people and frozen from the cold, she felt much better. She was over the moon after seeing such bands live, she'd been close enough to see the sweat form on Tom Smith's forehead and make it's way down his face and shirt, she'd even caught a glimpse of the waistband of his underwear from when he lifted his arms up causing his shirt to follow slightly. She had her voice back and her nose felt a lot better.

The next Monday the arcade was full of gossip about how great the show was and Usagi felt just that little bit better after buying a red and black scarf which was part of the look Franz Ferdinand were going for, aswell as three Editors badges that she pinned to her bag. Mamoru and Sapphire bought Franz Ferdinand Shirts and Motoki bought a poster.

Usagi was ecstatic again a week later when a blue Editors shirt arrived through the post.
