"I've got a special treat for you all," I said out to the people in the stands. "Recently, I've become friends with an up-and-coming performer. We've been spending the past few weeks writing a duet together. Believe me when I say that he's a damn good singer." The crew behind me was pushing the piano out onto the stage, while others were bringing out Garroth's guitar.

"May I introduce..." I paused, "Garroth Ro'Meave." The crowd cheered as Garroth stepped out nervously, putting on his best smile and waving slightly to the crowds.

"Hello!" He said cheerfully into the mic in his hand.

Half of the people in the stands responded back in unison, "Hi!"

"This will be the last performance for the night," I said next, then looked at Garroth to signal him the next line as I walked over to the piano.

Garroth put his microphone in the stand and picked up his guitar, then put his mouth to the mic and said, "We call this song Runnin'."

It's the moment that you notice
That it's all just out of reach
And I know that we're the closest
That we're ever gonna be

You've been runnin', runnin', runnin'
Woahhh
You keep runnin', runnin', runnin'
Woahhh

And I try to let go
But you hold on so tight
You must be tired
Of runnin', runnin', runnin'
Through my mind
Through my mind

When the darkness is calling
For one more kiss goodnight
Oh the star you wished upon is falling
Like a diamond from the sky

You've been runnin', runnin', runnin'
Woahhh
You keep runnin', runnin', runnin'
Woahhh

And I try to let go
But you hold on so tight
You must be tired
Of runnin', runnin', runnin'
Through my mind
Through my mind

There's so many things that they say are true
Like what you're looking for's right in front of you
Woahhh
Woahhhhh
I think we've been running for way too long
Want you out of my head and in my arms
Woahhh
Woahhhhh

You've been runnin', runnin', runnin'
You've been runnin', runnin', runnin'

You've been runnin', runnin', runnin'
Woahhh
You keep runnin', runnin', runnin'
Woahhh

And I try to let go
But you hold on so tight
You must be tired
Of runnin', runnin', runnin'
Through my mind
Through my mind

Runnin', runnin', runnin'
You're in my mind

I looked at Garroth, and it was in that moment that I felt a great connection between the pair of us.

The crew was going out for a celebratory dinner, and we all decided on Olive Garden, since they all knew it was my favorite. I was seated between Garroth and Laurence, who was congratulating us both on our performance.

"Seriously, Garroth, we need to get you more involved in your career. I would not be surprised if you so much as made it as far as Aphmau has," Laurence praised.

Garroth was grinning, "Thanks. I didn't realize it would be so enjoyable to just sing in front of a crowd."

"You know what this means?" I piped in, "You need an album to come out soon."

"Agreed," Laurence said, "We also need to add that duet to the album."

Dante spoke up, sitting awkwardly across from Laurence, "I do think that Garroth needs in album, but not quite so soon. He's only recorded three songs, not including Runnin'. His name needs to get out there first."

We all nodded and Laurence responded, "Point taken."
