A sharp succession of knocks on my door woke me way to early on the otherwise beautiful Saturday morning.
"Wake up, Sam!" Susan yelled through my door which apparently wasn't thick enough as I jumped out of bed in surprise.
"You promised you would be ready to go at 8:30!" she yelled even louder and quicker than before
"Okay, okay, just give me a sec..." i groaned, as I put on a set of jeans and t-shirt that laid on the ground closest to my glorious bed.
I wiped the sleep off my eyes as I opened my bedroom door with the other, their stood on the other side Susan, dressed in a very short blue skirt, white blouse with bow and a tiara.....
"Huh?" what the heck is this, I almost laugh, but I know better
"I'm Sailor Moon, retard!"
Indeed she was, especially today, she had the whole get up going, including blond wig, gloves and boots. The big Anime convention was in town, AniCon. Susan was a big Anime fan and me not so much, but I hesitantly agreed to tag along, none of her friends, beside me knew about her Anime fandom.
"I'm sorry, sort of a big night last night" I say sympathetically.
"Okay, fine, but we gotta go, we've got a big day ahead of us.
She nearly pulled my arm out of my socket as she lead me down the stairs of my parents house and into the garage where she had parked.
It was a beautiful day, Susan was just going over the speed limit, I was still hungover though.
"Can't say I ever remember Sailor Moon driving a car" I cracked out
"It the only way to get your lazy ass around, I would rather walk"
"I didn't say it was a bad thing"
The car then came to a slow stop as Susan parked the car in front of the convention center
"Hey, you can't park here, this is for staff only!"
"I helped organize this con remember, it comes with some perks."
She chucked a numbered colored bracelet at me, put it on, we are running late for the opening ceremony.
"This will let you come in and out as you please"
She jumped out of the car and I followed her, people were everywhere, dressed in such strange outfits, most from show's I didn't recognize.
We bypassed the line of waiting people and showed the security our bracelets.
"Quick hurry up!" Susan turned around to bark at me
"Why, what's the rush?"
"We need to be there for the opening ceremony!"
We made our way to the main stage, were a massive crowd had gathered, no one blinking an eye at each others costumes.
Susan turned to me and said, "Wait here, I'm helping with the ceremony backstage, I think you'll be surprised what we have in store"
"Uh, okay"
Susan disappeared into the crowd, and I pulled out of my phone and started to mess around, the ceremony started, with Susan no where to be seen.
I continued to play on my phone.
"Okay people! now is time to announce the favorite event of the Con, the Mascot lottery!"
The crowd cheered and laughed
Please everyone look on our wrist band, we are now going to draw the winning number.
A plasma screen screened a flicker of numbers, slowing down as time went on.
"549!"
I looked around and everyone was staring at their bands whilst the host on stage looked around the audience before her for a winner.
I looked at my wrist band, huh, what do you know, 549. I raised my hand in surprise.
"We have a winner!"
Everyone around me was staring, whispering and laughing.
"Please join me on stage sir, I made my way through the crowd, which had parted like the dead sea.
I made my way up the stairs of the stage.
"Congrats on winning!"
I looked around to try and find Susan, I could see alot of Sailor Scouts, but none of them were my friend.
"You must excited! the overly excited host told me
But before we begin with the Mascot process, we must do this, we don't want to ruin the surprise for you!
"What surpr...."
I fell silent as my vision was suddenly obscured as something was suddenly placed over my eyes from behind, and two metal braclets were clamped around my wrists as they were pulled behind me.
"This is were the fun begins!" Susan whispered into my left ear.
To be continued.
Sorry for the slow start, picks up quick next chap, i promise.
