The Lilac Music Festival was cruising along with beautiful flowers blooming and live music. Thanks to the diversity of Manta Carlos, different styles of music were performed at the festival. There were things here for everyone. No fans were left out; the headbangers, club shakers, and emo ravers all had something to enjoy. However, this post isn't about the listeners. Rather, it centers around one of the performers. You see, last month a young woman moved from California to Manta Carlos. She was an attractive ex-stripper that was down on her luck. It would be to her fortune that she met a famous (and definitely notorious) figure on the island. This man offered to make her dreams come true. She noted her seemingly childish dreams of becoming a popstar. Instead of dismissing her, he grinned and agreed to make it a reality.

Now she was standing backstage about to perform at her debut concert.

She felt nervous and excited. Was this a dream? She could hardly believe it. Even the practices she went to before felt like a blur. Was this really happening? Maybe she should pinch herself. She pinched herself. Nope, she was absolutely awake. This was real. This was happening right now. Her dreams as a little girl were about to become true. And they referred to America as the land of dreams. Ha, that was bullshit right there! She knew that she invited those she cared about and also gave them full-fledged access. It wasn't like she had to invite a million people anyway; heck, to be honest, Klaus didn't even need one to get in, but she sent it anyway. She wanted to be sure that the man that helped her get to this point would see her first show.

It was a simple set of songs; the first would be her introduction song. It was her bragging rights/Let-Me-Tell-You-Who-I-Am track. The second would be a soft but strong ballad. It was the one that made her the most nervous; it was a very intimate song that exposed some of her pain but also went on a triumphant note at the end. It could also be considered a big "Fuck You" to the hurtful figure mentioned in the song. The third and final one was more or less an awesome dance pop track to end on. There was sexy flair to it and the moves in that were the most complex out of all of the songs. It didn't have as much of a message as the other two songs; it was really more of a party hard kind of thing to rev up the crowd after the touching song finished. While she had some influence and input writing the songs, they of course weren't entirely written by her. For once in her life, she received a lot of help, and all that help went towards putting on an awesome show.

As her ears heard the loud speaker switch on, she perked up. Now it was her time to shine. Despite her nerves, she felt ready for this day. Everybody went into formation and took their starting spots for the first song. Naomi took a deep breath and went out there.

And she absolutely killed it.

Her debut concert was stellar. She not only showed off all of the amazing dance moves she could pull off, but she also revealed that her vocals were amazing. She had a powerful singing voice accented with Spanish. This was most prevalent in the ballad where towards the end she belted out a note that left people speechless. The wild applause after the initial shock was immense. The ex-stripper--no, new star felt incredible. She found herself moved to tears. As she went into the general public area, she tried to cover up her tears of joy with her usual smug confidence. However, Nao just couldn't stop grinning. She tried to find someone she knew among the flock of people. Considering the success, that might have been a possible problem.

Klaus was so full of pride he could burst. He was the first to seek out and find Naomi as she exited into the public space- feeling out someone he'd marked as one of his own was easy, especially when he was focusing in on her so much, greed magic excitable and delighted. He got through the crowd smoothly, at an advantage both in height and naturally dominant presence.

He was Nerea Rosales' son today, that was for sure. He was dressed up in the look others could recognize from magazines that had him guest modeling for photoshoots with his mother, very far and unrecognizable from the usual gang leader persona. Naomi deserved to be comfortably among stars, so he went to the extra effort of matching her, to make sure she knew that this was taken seriously. It was real. He wasn't about to let her forget, not for a second.

Klaus practically tackled Naomi when he was close enough, wrapping his arms around her by the waist, picking her up in a tight embrace, and twirling with her. "Nao! Babe! You were fucking stunning!" He only stopped spinning in order to pepper the top of her head with kisses and nuzzle her aggressively. If Naomi wasn't already overjoyed, his enthusiasm would be more than contagious. "God, you should see yourself. And you will, that was recorded. Perfect impression with your debut, beyond expectations, not everyone is anywhere near that lucky."

"Even though I might've given you the resources, making use of it like this is all you, shooting star. Your talent, the heart, it takes my breath away." He set her down again, cupping her face tenderly and lingering for a moment, then finally swiping the tears away from her eyes so she could take on the world. He curled an arm and his aura around her like a warm snake, ready to stick by her while she lived through this thrilling and terrifying experience.

She knew it wouldn't have been long until she found Klaus. It was somewhat odd seeing him in his celebrity attire instead of his usual gang leader aesthetic, but it was welcomed considering the event. One could really see his resemblance to his mother with his celeb look. Naomi found herself starstruck as she processed all of this. She just concluded her first live performance as a singer, and it was all thanks to the son of a very famous and wonderful lady whom she just happened to run into at a pizza party. What kind of luck did she find?!

Nao almost wanted to cry with joy. Almost. ...Okay she definitely wanted to cry, but she didn't want to break down into tears again. That was super embarrassing for someone as outwardly aggressive as her. The moment she came into contact with Klaus she was within his embrace and twirled around. She clung onto him tight and actually squealed with cheer at his compliments. Her squeal made her cheeks turn bright pink. She just couldn't hold back her happiness. Why should she anyway? This was the perfect occasion to be happy! This was wonderful!

"I totally can't believe it! That felt fucking amazing! Thank you so much, Klaus!"

Oh God, more tears joined the leftovers from her performance. Klaus noticed them too; he wiped them away from her face. Now her eyes could see more clearly as she looked at him and the people behind him. There were lots of people that wanted to get past the barrier and see her. There were also cameras flashing everywhere. It was so much that she couldn't even tell where the video cameras were. They were obviously placed somewhere that they could record her performance, but the chaos made it difficult to see.

"I never thought this would happen. I thought for years that I wasn't good enough. That I couldn't get all of this. Now to know that I was wrong and also live my dream......there's no words to describe it."

She wildly gestured to her surroundings.

"And I'm still living it!"
