Chapter 4:
Convention Time!
The best day of the year for any anime fanatic has finally come: Opening day of the con! Too bad were still waiting for second period of torture, I mean school to be over.
Lucky Yuki and Jessi-chan are both in environmental science together. Im stuck in H. Chemistry and it sucks. At least today we get to make Skittles explode. I mean, exploding stuff is fun!
I watch closely at what we are to do so I won't hurt anyone when my group attempts it.
Unfortunately, after the demonstration we don't have enough time to do the experiment ourselves. It's one of those bitter-sweet moments.
I grab my school bag and run out the door as fast as I can to the attendance office located on the other side of the massive campus.
By the time I get there, my friends are already checked out and waiting on me.
"Hey!" I smile.
"Elli-chan, Yuki's being mean to me!" Jessi-chan says pointing to the purple headed girl pretending to not know what Jessi-chan is talking about.
"Ok? Do you want me to do something about it?" I ask while signing the orange office paper in order to go to a "doctor appointment."
"Yes." I half expect tears to start flooding out.
"Ok," I turn to Yuki with an angry face "Yuki..." I say as threatening as I can, "Good job!" I love the look my sister gives me when I do something sadistic.
As we leave the office we get weird looks from the people working there. Not that thats new to us.

As we walk into the hotel with our bags in tow, we realize it was a good thing we made reservations almost a year ago. It's crawling with people and the con doesn't even start for another hour!
After waiting in line for half an hour the three of us head up stairs to drop off our stuff. We need a quiet place to call our parents.
The reason our parents are letting the three of us be by ourselves at a crowded con is a little complicated. Jessi-chan's parents died about a year ago so she came to live with me and my adopted mom (who is extremely lenient because she's so young herself) and Yuki's already 16 so her parents let her be the, uh, well adult figure, I guess.
After we are situated in the beige room decorated with, of all things, flowers (stupid girlish room), we change into our cosplays.
I go in the bathroom to fix my hair trying my best to get my dark red hair to look as Kairi's.
In the main room, Yuki tries to put up Jessi-chan's hair in pig-tails. Unsuccessfully, I might add.
"Elli-chan! Yuki's trying to pull my hair out!" Jessi-chan yells struggling to get her hair from Yuki.
"No, I'm not! If you would just sit still I would be finished by now!" I hear Yuki yell in her defense.
"Jessi-chan, just sit still and let Yuki fix you hair. If you do, Ill buy you a box of pocky." Bribing her with pocky always works.

We finally get our badges and sit in the large room waiting as patiently as we can for the opening ceremony.
"Hey look! There's Hitachi!" Jessi-chan states. Yuki and I look at her with "WTF?" plastered all over our pale faces.
"Um... Hitachi is a brand of electronic devices; Itachi is a character from Naruto. And your so obsessed with the show, too," I correct her.
"Oh..." she pauses then has another energy burst. "Hey look there's your boy friend, Kairi!" This time she points to a KH2 Sora. I get annoyed and we start arguing jokingly.
While the two of us are being immature, Yuki notices two guys in Organization XIII cloaks. One looks like Roxas, the other Axel. They seem to be searching for someone.
"Wow! Look! Look! Those guys! They look exactly like Axel and Roxas! We have to go talk to them." Jessi-chan and I stop immediately and look where she was pointing.
"Wow..." Jessi-chan and I say together completely amazed.
"We'll have to find them later. If we get up now we'll lose our seats," I say coming out of my state of awe.
Once the ceremony finishes, we head to my personal favorite place at the con: The Dealer's Room! Of course, today we're mostly just looking around and won't buy much until tomorrow.
* * *
"It's about 5:30 now, so how about we go to artist alley then we go eat," I suggest as we walk out of the dealer's room.
"Maybe we can even find Roxas and Axel! I cant believe we haven't seen them since this morning!" Jessi-chan says jumping up and down. Maple Tip: Jessi-chan + Sugar = BAD!!!
* * *
"Story time! Story time!" Jessi-chan demands jumping on her bed. I had told her that I'd tell her about my dream when we got her, so now I have no choice.
I explain about what happened, even that I had had the dream every night since the first time. When I decide that I've given her enough of an explanation we watch some T.V. and I drift off to the dream world, revisiting Hollow Bastion yet again.
