The women felt relieved that this was almost over, she felt so overwhelmed but this entire thing. Though, there was part of her that wishes it was her up on that stage. She couldn’t even imagine what it would be like catering to fans every night, traveling for an entire year and getting to see the world. She thought it must be wonderful to feel extraordinary.

The next picture flashed on and she thought that the person looked familiar. She couldn’t quite put her finger on it though.
“OH” she said, it came out like a squeal. The singer looked at the screen and then out to the crowd as if he was trying to make eye contact with her. For that one moment, everyone was paying attention to her. Puffs of smoke shot out from the corners of the stage. Purple and silver confetti started rain down.
