Connor had been dreaming of going to the Zestable ever since he heard about it. The Zestable was the world's largest and zestiest festival, where people from all over the globe gathered to celebrate life, music, and art with a splash of citrus. Connor loved everything about the Zestable: the colorful costumes, the exotic food, the upbeat music, and most of all, the chance to meet Renzo.

Renzo was Connor's online friend and crush. They had met on a Zestable fan forum three years ago and hit it off instantly. They shared a passion for creativity, adventure, and lemonade. They had been chatting, video calling, and sending each other gifts ever since. But they had never met in person. Renzo lived in Brazil, while Connor lived in Canada. They had always wanted to meet at the Zestable, but something always got in the way: school, work, money, family.

But this year was different. This year, they had both saved enough money to buy tickets and travel to the Zestable. This year, they had both cleared their schedules and packed their bags. This year, they had both promised to finally meet each other at the Zestable.

Connor was nervous and excited as he boarded the plane to Brazil. He couldn't believe he was finally going to see Renzo face to face. He wondered what he would look like, what he would sound like, what he would smell like. He wondered if they would hug, kiss, or just smile awkwardly. He wondered if they would get along as well as they did online, or if there would be awkward silences and misunderstandings.

He tried to calm his nerves by listening to some Zestable playlists on his headphones. He imagined himself dancing with Renzo under the stars, surrounded by thousands of other happy people. He imagined himself holding Renzo's hand as they explored the festival grounds, sampling different cuisines and watching different performances. He imagined himself kissing Renzo under a shower of confetti and lemon juice.

He smiled and closed his eyes. He couldn't wait to get to the Zestable. He couldn't wait to meet Renzo.
