Elsewhere in the festival, a young, red-haired girl was dragging a boy around by the arm. She was wearing a hoodie almost as red as her locks, with a dark blue t-shirt underneath and jeans. Her companion had his hair, red with blue highlights, spiked up and falling over one of his eyes. He had on a denim jacket with gray pants, and he had an acoustic guitar slung over his shoulder.
"Come on Terrence, move faster!" Jessica laughed. The boy, Terrence, rolled his eyes.
"There's so many people here..." he muttered to himself. He liked music, yes, but he was an introvert and didn't always like noisy festivals like this.
"Oh come on, now! I don't hear you complaining when all your fans are cheering you on at your concerts!"
"But I don't have too many fans in the first place!" He knew protesting was futile, though, and Terrence simply sighed and allowed Jessica to pull him through the crowd.
Terrence and Jessica heard about Dancing In the Streets just a few days ago. They had invited their fellow Muses members to come, though they didn't see anyone from the Muses yet. The Muses were protesting against music censorship in another nation, so it perhaps they could find some support for their cause at the festival. That was hard work, however, and Jessica just wanted a day off from everything.
Suddenly, Jessica stopped walking and pointed across the throngs of people. "Hey Terrence, look!" she exclaimed. Confused, the boy squinted in the direction she was pointing. There was a man who also had a guitar on him. "You guys both have guitars, so maybe you two should talk to each other!" Before he could say anything, Jessica started walking him towards the stranger.
"Don't you think that would be awkward?" he groaned.
"Terrence, it's a
music festival. You're
supposed to chat and have fun with other people!"
And that was the end of that argument. Soon enough, Jessica had caught up to the guitar man and was waving at him. "Hey!" she called out. "You play guitar too?"
