(Kioshi) 

I can't believe he forgot about today, well seeing how he looked yesterday it might not been on his mind. I must have scared his parents when I was thinking to myself, I tend to look pissed when I think hard. I looked at my watch again.

"10:10, if he is running from the train station to here he will be..." 

"Kio!!" yelled a voice, "Sorry I'm late!"

"It's okay, lots of stuff happen yesterday, must been tiring." I said to him.

"Yeah," he said while giving me the ticket. 

We head to the end of the line to the convention center, there are a lot of cosplayers and photographers, and hearing someone asking for a extra ticket in the background. The line moved so fast that we were almost to the door of the convention center, and can feel the cool air coming from the open doors. We were about to head inside until someone placed their arms around us and the voice we heard next didn't sit well with Ethan.

"Look what we have here," said the voice, "I didn't know you were into this type of stuff."

It was Golden Grill but I didn't see any of his boys with him today. Ethan froze in place and I looked straight ahead.  

"I'm wondering if you have an extra ticket," He said.

Ethan swiftly dug in his bag, pulled out Kyle's ticket, and handed it to Grill. 

"Takes Bud, have a nice weekend," as he grab the ticket and walked to the back of the line. 

Ethan sighed and we both walk through the door. 

"Why didn't you make a scene when he asked for the ticket?" I asked Ethan.

"In a way I got rid of the ticket and it's going to be used," answered Ethan as we made it to the computer to get our con passes. 

"Well I have to agree with that, let's hope when he comes back to school he will remember this," I told him.

After we got our passes, we walked to the art gallery looking for our favorite creator, Slade Jack. We can see one of his characters three rows down from the escalator and we start cutting though the crowd. We made it to Slade Jack's table, Slade looks up at us and does his traditional evil smirk, and we started geeking out. He came out of character to smile at us, Slade Jack was a comic book that made Ethan and I friends, and we made sure to come to every event he is in around our area.

"I'm making a new book about Slade's highschool years and how he dealt with bulling, hope you looking forward to it," Slade told us.

Both of our eyes widen hearing this news, we get to see how Slade became the person he is from the event that change his life in highschool. We were so excited that Ethan let out a yelled in glee but quickly put his hand over his mouth. Slade laughed seeing how happy we were and handed us some new posters that he signed. Some one with dark sunglasses came and tapped his shoulder and whispered something to him. He nodded his head and place a "Be Right Back," sign on the table.

"Sorry guys something has come up, it seems my sister got too much attention from some of my fans," he told us, "I need to go help her a bit."

"Sure, family is family," said Ethan, "Take your time."

Family...huh? What a joke. Family can make or break you. They beat you if you didn't get the right grade or if you look happy about something they destroy that happiness in front of you. They take away anything that makes you a better person, family are the main ones out to get you. Fuck'em. As if someone was reading my mood, someone tapped on my shoulder, and I turned around.

It was Sherri...in a battle white maid cosplay, she had a eye-patch on her right eye, and fake blood on her face and arms, I forgot what I was pissed about after she smiled at us. 

"You guys fans of Slade?" she asked.

"Yeah, he really helped us with his storytelling and character development," answered Ethan as Sherri walked behind the table Slade was sitting at and removed the sign.

"Do you know him?" I asked her.

"Yeah, he is my friend's older brother," she told us, "He told you about a sister before he left, right?"

I nodded and then I notice her cosplay...she was AngleGale, one of my favorite female characters in the comic book. She looked damn good in her outfit too. Ethan hits me with his elbow and looks at me with a evil look. I then went back to looking at Sherri when I realized I had my hand on the table lending towards her. It must have looked creepy if Ethan had to hit me, I didn't even notice I got that close. 

"It seems he gave you guys his new prints," she said looking at our hands holding the posters.

"Yeah, he was telling us about his new novel about Slade's highschool years," Ethan commented.

"Yeah I can't wait either," she said as she looked to the side.

Ethan and I looked at the direction she was looking to see Slade and a girl cosplaying as Slade's little sister Quote. 

"Sherri, I'm glad you got away," the girl said.

"Yeah, thanks for pushing me into your brother's bodyguard there, by the way," Sherri said fixing the girls bow tie, "You knew I would've fought them off for you so you got rid of me."

I can see she was being playful to the girl, Slade did a little smile and went back to the table.

"I didn't want you to mess up your cosplay even though those fans would have loved getting their butts kicked by AngelGale," she laughed.

"Violet, I bet you would have recorded it too to promote the comic even more," commented Sherri and Violet did a rich girl laugh with her back hand held up near her mouth. 

This day is getting better and better, this was an improvement from yesterday. I looked at Ethan who was also enjoying the moment and he asked Slade, Sherri, and Violet for a group picture. 

"Pictures!," Slade excitedly got up, "Hell yeah!"

They all circled around me, Ethan was to my right and Slade to my left. Violet who was in-front of Slade went into character, pointed her prop-sword to her brother's neck with her tongue sticking out. Sherri also in character, was in front of me and places her fist up to my chin then made an angelic smiling face. The bodyguard took some pictures with us doing different poses and handed the phone back to Ethan. 

"Ha, it looks like you were DemonDel with Sherri doing that to you in the first photo," Ethan whispered to me, I blushed. AngleGale and DemonDel are my OTP in the series even though I would not mind her ending with Slade too. 

"Are you okay?" asked Sherri as she digs into her cooler,takes out a bottle of water, and hands it to me.

"Yeah, not good with taking pictures," I told her as I took the bottle from her, "Thank you."

"Hey RiRi, can you give me one of those?' said a voice coming from behind Ethan. 

There were a lot of bags blocking most of him but it was Grills.
