INTRO

The mall was going absolutely wild with all the excitement and fun at the annual sci-fi convention that was held at the amusement park. Many of the people were dressed up as their favorite characters from various movies or TV series. Even some of the gang and I were dressed up.

I wore my Steve Zodiac costume from my Fireball XL5 comic series and Amelie was dressed her in Dr. Venus outfit. Wyatt and Serena came dressed as a Matrix characters, and Jude, well… he and Starr couldn't decide what to be so they just threw a whole bunch of costumes together into two massive alien monsters. While we thought it made them look extremely goofy, a lot of people were amazed by what they made and wanted to take their picture every now and then.

"Unbelievable." Nikki said "I don't know how they do it, and frankly I don't even care."

"Ah, come on, Nikki." Wyatt said "Can't you just enjoy yourself here?"

Sadly, Nikki couldn't. Sci-fi was defiantly not one of her favorite things, which was why she wasn't wearing a costume. But Jonesy did go out of his way to get a job at the ticket booth and let us all in for free "And don't you forget it." Jonesy said as he came over.

"Shouldn't you be working?" Nikki asked, but her husband said he was on break.

I checked my watch "Where's Caitlin? She's way late."

"She's still getting her costume ready." Jen said "She's been really pulling together for this convention."

All of us blinked once and wondered "Since when was Caitlin ever that much into sci-fi?"

"She's not." Serena said "I talked with her… she's trying to impress boys again."

We all sighed and rolled our eyes- typical Caitlin. Well, we all couldn't blame her, and the convention was loaded with all sorts of guys, even handsome ones.

Suddenly, we could see a whole crowd of people gathered in one place awing and snapping photos like crazy. "Zut…!" Amelie said "What's going on there?"

That's when Starr and Jude ran up to us. "Dudes!" cried Jude "You HAVE to come and see this."

"It's the wildest thing ever." added Starr. We all followed them into the crowd, and what we saw bedazzled us. "Whoa!" Jonesy remarked. Wyatt gasped. "Oh my…!" I said as we all looked at Caitlin in what had to be the most amazing costume anywhere.

She was dressed as an alien princess, wearing a silvery sparkling dress, white gloves. her ears were specially waxed so they were pointed and she wore beautiful earrings on each. Her long hair was all wrapped up in back of her head and she wore a golden tiara on top… with cute wiggling antenna, and she was holding a long golden staff in her right hand with a star at the top of it.

The guys and I couldn't help but gawk at her in awe just like many of the other guys who were gazing at her, much to the girls' dismay. "This is going to be an awkward day." Nikki said softly.
