I wake up in a pile of blankets, Nora's arms around my waist. "Hey baby.." I look down and she's smiling up at me. I give her a playful swat. "Shut 'p.."

I prop myself up on my elbow. "How'd ya sleep?" She pulls her arms away and stretches. "Nice. What's the time?"

I look over at my clock. "Two in the afternoon." She sits up, yawing. "Damn, we slept for that long?" I shrug. "Nn."

She crawls out of bed and stretches again. "Guess we'd better get ready. Got your outfit picked out, Bir?"

"Mm.." I nod and stretch out on the bed. I point to the outfit on the door. "'m wearing that."

Nora eyes the tie-dyed shirt and smiles. "I like."

She runs over to her suitcase and pulls out a dress, then rummages through her bag, pulling out necklaces and little tidbits to go with it. "Hold on." She goes in the bathroom and I pull myself out of bed.

I pull off my shirt, deciding to get dressed. I slip of my pants as well, and unclasp my bra.

Nora slams the bathroom door open, parading out in her tastefully distasteful outfit and I turn pink. "I like da tiddies." She licks her lips and I throw a pillow at her. "S-Shut 'p!"

I grab my clothes quickly and hurry to pull them on, embarrassed. As soon as I stand, she runs her hand down her hip. "How do I look, love~?"

"Like adorable. Also like ya could stab some'ne." She smirks at the comment. "Thanks doll. You look like the princess of death. Lemme put your hair up. I don't want you to get old guy vomit in your gorgeous fucking hair."

She grabs my long, soft pink hair and pulls it back into a loose ponytail, pinning up the front with two little cute bone clips.

"You look like a million bucks. Stay close to me 'cuz if anyone touches you I'll fuckin' kill 'em." She gives me a tight squeeze. "'kay, 'kay, can't breath-" I choke out.

She lets go and smiles. "Ready?" I nod. "Ja, lemme just grab m' bag." I grab said bag and hold the door open for her.

"Ya got the tickets?" I say as we walk to her car. "Yeah, they're in my front pocket." She reaches inside to double-check and nods.

We get in her cozy little car, and we're off. The ride is definitely not a quiet one, because I brought along some of my CD's and we're headbanging along to the loud music. It's about a 45 minute drive, an hour counting that time we went to a fast food restaurant.

The parking lot of the concert is packed, and we're fairly early. "Must be a popular band." I mutter to myself.

Nora smiles. "I didn't tell you this because I wanted it to be a surprise.. but.. Panic! At The Disco and Falling In Reverse are playing before Impending Doom."

My jaw hits the floor. "WHAT." She laughs. "Good thing you agree to come along, huh?"

Real, actual tears pour from my eyes. "Whoa.. slow down the waterworks..." She laughs to herself. "Can't... 'm so happy..." I dab at my eyes with my sleeve.

"Chill, bae, we're about to get out." She parks and I take a deep breath before getting out. "'kay, 'm good."

She grabs my hand and we make our way down to the concert, getting thoroughly checked and showing off our tickets. It seems like an eternity, but we finally make it to our seat, literally inches away from the stage.

P!ATD is perfection. I keep in my tears, trying to breath. The excitement is just too much.

And Falling in Reverse is just as good. But, but better.. because the lead singer.. reaches out.. touches my hand.. I cry for a while until Nora gets me to calm down.

They finish so quickly. And now it's time for Impending Doom. Nora's crying now, just a little. She bounces and sings and hits the table along with the music.

I dig into my kind of gross nachos, bored, watching the band play. And then I spot him. I don't know how I didn't realize it before.

The lead, he's gorgeous. My eyes fixate on him. His voice is so soft.. really quite unfitting for a heavy metal singer..

"Nora!" I shout as loud as I can. "WHAT-" I barely hear. "What's t' lead's name!"

"TINO!"

Tino? I rest my head in my hands. It's perfect for him. It's a pretty name. I hope the concert will end soon- because I.. I get to meet him! That's right! We have backstage passes!

And right on cue, the concert is over. Impending Doom disappears behind the curtain, and two guards lead us up behind stage to meet Panic! at the Disco and Falling in Reverse.

Nora's voice is so raw from screaming that she can't even greet the boys. The lead of P!ATD takes my hand and I want to cry happily. "I saw you crying the whole time, were we that bad?"

I shake my head, tears welling up in my eyes again. "So good.. yer performance was so good.."

He laughs. "That's a cute accent, where are you from?" I blush. "Sweden." I look at the floor. "Oh, how nice!"

He plants a little kiss on my cheek and I turn bright pink. "It was nice to meet you.." "Birgit." "Birgit.. how pretty. I hope to see you at another show soon~"

I almost die. The same pretty much happens with the lead of Falling in Reverse. They are both so sweet.

And before long, Impending Doom comes into the sort-of break room to meet us. The lead... the perfect lead.. Tino.. he shakes my hand. "Hi, I'm Tino! What's your name?"

I look to Nora, she's grinning, ooh gosh. But she's all over the drummer, ha.

"Birgit.." I blush and he smiles, sitting beside me on the couch. "Birgit, huh? Swedish?"

"U-Uh, ja.." He smiles wider. "I'm Finnish." "I know- I-I mean.." He laughs. "You're adorable, haha!" I glare at him, making him laugh more. "So cute!"

The rest of the time was spent with him talking about the members of his band, how it started, where they've traveled, the like. Soon it's over. Too soon, I might say.

He kisses my cheek. "I really hope to see you again." I stare at him, face crimson. "Y-You will. I swear."

He smiles widely and slips something down my shirt, then gives me a full-fledged kiss on the lips. "Bye!" He runs off with the rest of the band.

Nora sighs loudly. "That was so perfect.. have fun?" I'm too busy feeling around in my shirt to answer. "Bir! You don't do that in public! This is America, for fuck's sake!" I blush. "N-Nej! I just-" I finally find the little thing.

It's a card, with his number right on it. Tino's, I mean. "AAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH" I fall right off the couch. "Bir? We have to go now? Get up?"

"HE GAVE ME H'S NUMBER" "His what?" "NUMBER!"

She pulls me up and looks at the card. "Well, hot dog. I'll be damned. Let's go now."
