Cameron, Memphis and John entered the brightly-colored tent. When the flap fell back into place, the boys were met with total darkness.
They walked forward fanning out left, right and center. Their footsteps were muffled by some sort of astroturf.
"Do you guys hear that? It sounds like gears grinding," Memphis whispered.
"Who just touched my ass?!" John yelled, swinging his fists wildly in the dark.
Cameron took out his phone and attempted to switch on the flashlight but the screen remained black.
"That's weird. My phone's not working. There must be some kind of jammer in here."
"Yeah or your phone just sucks," Memphis scoffed, taking out his own phone. "Shit, mine's not working either."
"Seriously, which one of you fucking touched my ass?" John yelled.
Just then the vast room exploded with light and a familiar riff began.
"Oh shit! Is that Fat Lip?" Cameron exclaimed as his eyes adjusted to the sudden brightness. " Is Sum 41 here?"
"I don't think so," Memphis said slowly. His eyes were transfixed on the center of the room where a large stage arose.
Atop the stage were animatronic bears dressed in 2000s pop-punk fashion. Dyed hair. Lip rings. Guyliner. The works.
As the lead bear crudely mouthed "Storming through the party like my name was El Niño," the boys suddenly heard a voice behind them.
"Welcome, gentleman."
Who is this? Stay tuned.
