This story is intended for people over the age of 18. I do not own Ariana Grande or anything associated with her, and I make no money from this story. I've honestly never heard some of the songs referenced here, so any Ari stans, feel free to roast me in the comments for any inaccurate representation. Enjoy!

"Hey, James? Are you coming?" My little sister Megan called out to me as She exited her black Subaru Forester. It was Saturday night, and we had just arrived at the AmericanAirlines Arena after an exhausting seven-hour drive from Tallahassee. Megan and I were in town to see her favorite pop star Ariana Grande and I wasn't particularly thrilled about it. My original plan was to remain asleep in the car for the duration of the performance, but it seemed as though my sister was dead-set of having my company for the evening.
"Huh?" I answered drowsily, still recovering from my uncomfortable car-nap.
"James, get up! It's almost time for the show to start and I will NOT miss Ari, understand?" I responded by rolling my eyes, opening the door. As I leisurely yanked my strong, 6'4 frame from the car, I slammed the car door, which caused Megan to turn around and give me a nasty look.
"Hey, just 'cause you don't want to be here doesn't mean you have to act like a dick!"
"You know that I hate her music." I expressed.
"Yeah ya know, I still don't get that. Ari's voice is absolutely perfect! What's not to like?"
"Maybe how all of her songs are pretty much the same shit, just with different background music?"
"Gosh James, that's a very unique and stupid opinion!"
Like most bratty, teenage girls, Megan loved pop music; personally, I don't prefer one genre over the other, only songs or artists over others. And I definitely preferred a litany of musicians over Ariana Grande. While She does have a beautiful voice, I've never found any of her songs particularly good or different from any of her others. To me, it was just one catchy hook and chorus after another. Maybe, I just didn't like pop music? Luckily, Ariana was extremely easy on the eyes. Her gorgeous face and tight body are the only reason that I agreed to join my sister in the first place, especially considering that I was a last-minute replacement for her best friend who couldn't leave town because She was grounded.
As we approached the entrance, I could hear the mc introducing the opening act, which resulted in Megan grabbing my arm and pulling me towards the venue's front entrance doors; her dyed-blonde locks blowing in the light breeze, as my short, dark brown hair was near motionless. Megan excitedly yanked on my black, Tokyo Ghoul T-shirt as we went inside and quickly exchanged our tickets. We swiftly made our way to our seats, which turned out to be right in the front row. Apparently, Megan had saved up for a long time to land these seats, showing an unhealthy obsession with the petite pop princess. As Megan swiftly took her seat, I made my way to the restroom; completely uninterested with the unrecognizable faces performing on stage. She assured me that I should hurry back since it was almost time for the main event to take the stage. I aimlessly walked around; feverishly seeking somewhere to relieve myself.
Eventually, I made my way to a pair of restrooms and began to enter the men's before a large, bald, dark-skinned man wearing all black almost literally shoved me out of his way; the keys on his key-ring jingling loudly as he did so. I caught myself before I could fully tumble onto the floor. Just as I was going to give the mysterious man a piece of my mind, I was interrupted by his booming voice, as he yelled out at the women's restroom door.
"Ariana, c'mon, you're supposed to be on stage in five minutes!" It wasn't long until I saw the brunette, pop princess in all five-feet of her elegance.
"I know, I know, I'm comin'," Ariana Grande asserted as She adjusted her dress. She turned her head towards me and flashed me her beautiful smile before quickly running off with the large man that appeared to be a bodyguard for the diminutive diva. I watched as they took off down the same stretch that I had minutes earlier before they took an alternative route, likely to get backstage. As I collected myself and stood up, I thought about how if mine and Megan's roles were reversed. If She were the one that had to use the restroom, She would've met Ariana and surely asked for an autograph or something of the sort. I honestly felt a little guilty that I didn't ask her on behalf of my little sister. I soon shook off that idea as well.
Approaching the men's washroom, I stopped at the drinking fountain to quench my thirst. As I drank, I could hear the roar of the crowd as the mc introduced the incomparable Ariana Grande. They were going absolutely nuts, and it gave me a warm and satisfying feeling knowing that my little sister was enjoying the same reaction as everyone else. Finishing up at the water fountain, something shiny and silver was caught in my peripheral vision. I turned and wandered a few steps towards the women's restroom entrance, where the object lay dormant. Bending down to pick it, I realized that I now held a shiny, chrome-colored butt plug, roughly four inches in length and two inches in width. On the base was a pale-pink rhinestone and the engraving on the inside of it simply read "Ari" written in cursive, with the "I" cutely dotted with a heart. Since it shone so brightly in the LED-lit room, I could tell that it had been freshly cleaned.
Dozens of thoughts raced through my mind in the following moments, but only one of them truly mattered: "This must belong to Ariana Grande, and She must've dropped it on her way out of the bathroom." It shone brightly in the palm of my hand, as I thought about what I should do next. I decided to keep it as a souvenir; a reward of sorts for getting dragged all of the way out to Miami. A better souvenir than a CD, T-shirt, poster or anything else sold at the concession stand. Hell, I'd argue that it was even better than an autograph. Simply put, if it belonged to Ariana, then She had definitely "used" it before, and only a hopeless little anal slut would use a butt plug. Though the physical object was of little use to me, my true souvenir was my realization that world-renowned pop star Ariana Grande was a closet butt slut.
I slipped the object into my cargo pocket and finally headed into the men's restroom. Once I had finished, I quickly hurried back to my seat, knowing that my sister was probably wondering where I was. Taking my seat next to Megan, I immediately received an earful of nagging and ill-mannered thoughts, as well as the pop superstar on stage singing the lyrics to her song "Bad Idea". I looked into my sister's eyes, beholding the light of her deep blue sight.
"Ohmigod where were you, James? I CAN'T believe you missed 'God is a Woman'! You are SUCH a silly brother!"
"Oh yeah, well I saw Ariana coming out of the bathroom on my way there!"
"Shush, I don't have time for your lies! I have to LISTEN!" Megan retorted. Since I already knew that Megan wouldn't believe me, I simply gave her a dirty look as a response and slumped in my chair, trying to find a way to relax with the speakers blaring out every word that was sung by the Florida native. Her powerful voice was overwhelming, keeping the audience enthralled with every high note.
