And i decide that im going!" The girl said to her mom. "Where will it be held?" her mom asked. "In our hometown! And Shu is coming with me!" the girl replied..."Ok, so you mean your bestfriend from your former school Shuichi?

"Yes Mom, im working on it! Im sure ive been getting there!"
"Im sure tomorrow is going to be a fun day for you and Shu. Take care of him."
"Yes Mom, i will and dont worry, ive prepared for this day all 4 weeks long"

"Moring Shu! Just wait, she is about to be finished! Im suuure the ready girl prepared herself at the riiight moment, am i right, Li-Mei?" the woman told him
"Mom! Stop picking on me! Im done already!" then she went down running to the door.
"Hey Shu! You ready for the cosplay event in Dagupan City Stadia?"
"Yeah Li-Mei! Ive prepared this for a month!" Shu replied
"Ok Mom, we better be off! The event starts at 10:AM and the registration starts at the same time as well!" Li-Mei said exitingly..."Here's your bus ticket, and take care" said her mom
"Yeah Mom! Bye!"
.............................................................................................
At the Bus Station..
"Hey Shu, what's your cosplay? Tell me!! I wanna know!" Li-Mei asked exitedly.
"Im doing InuYasha! Believe me, i made the sword props on my own a two months ago and i spent almost P500 and i begged my dad for money and now as for my next week's allowance..He tells me to work at the restaurant!!!! What a pain!!! They say that my cooking is good,but for me cooking is a pain in the butt!!!!! ARGH!!!! How i hate cooking to death! Id rather go cosplay and do my other interests! Duh! The last time i cooked was to impress Daphne and......................."
"And what did she do to the food you cooked Shu?"
"She...She ate it..And, when i opened the box it had a note.." Shu said in a sad tone.
"What did the note say?! What did it say?!! Come on! Besties dont hide from each other!!!"
"Li-Mei..It said,'It's so nice of you to cook for me Shuichi, but i have somebody else in my
heart right now.......I hope you dont get mad at me...Im really really sorry..' Oh Li-Mei!
My sworn twin!!! What am i gonna dooooo???!!!!!! Im dyiiiinnngggg!!!" Shuichi sobbed exaggeratedly
"Dont worry, Were almost gonna have a taste of real fun! Forget about problems!! Im also goin to forget my own! And did i mention im doing Ai Enma in kimono? Ive already done the uniform!! And im sooooo freakin' exited! This is actually my 2nd time attending a cosplay event and now, a dream come true! A cosplay event in my family's hometown!" Li-Mei exclaimed
"BUS 2013 BOUND FOR DAGUPAN CITY, PASSENGERS BE READY. PLEASE MAKE YOUR LAST TRIP TO THE COMFORT ROOM AND BUY YOUR OTHER NECESSITIES. THE BUS IS LEAVING 5 MINUITES. I REPEAT, THE BUS 2013 BOUND FOR DAGUPAN CITY WILL BE LEAVING FOR 5 MINUITES.

"Shu, i think we better go to the bathroom now before we leave and buy a few snacks......"
"Ok. Im off!"
Then, the two bestfriends got on the bus..
"Hey, i wonder how the event will work out..Im sure there are a lot of cosplayers and fans!" Li-Mei exitedly told Shu. "What do you mean by fans? Anime fans?" Shuichi asked Li-Mei nervously "Not just anime fans and jpop culture fans, silly! Dont you know there are legions of Avrilians who are anime fans and non anime fans alike going to the event?!" "No freaking way, Mei! Youre not telling me that...?" "Yes Shu! You didnt read in the main site?! Our IDOL Avril Lavigne is one of the judges of the Karaoke Contest,Battle Of The Bands,and the Individual and Group Cosplay?!"
"No i didnt!!! When i was about to read the last part of the site, We had a blackout in the middle of the time i was about to watch BLOOD+!!! Thank God you informed me! WHOOOOO!! Im sooo happy!! At last i can put this in my column in the school newspaper! YEAH!! I even brought my digicam and my cellphone with me! This is exiting!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Truly and definetly exiting!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
.
AT THE MAIN EVENT.........
"Whooo!!! Yeah!! At last!!! We're finally here in Dagupan and at the Main Event here in Stadia!
And there are lotsa fans and cosplayers! Oh look! There's a couple cosplaying as Sasuke and Sakura
of Naruto! And there's some J-rock cosplayers! And i like this guy cosplaying Ichigo from Bleach!
Heez sooo cuute!!! Dont you think so Shu?"
Li-Mei was in the state of anime bliss..She was so exited, she was in anime paradise she forgot the registration time........Until............................................................
"Li-Mei! Stop daydreaming! You're already cool as Ai Enma in kimono, you almost look like her! Come on and lets go registering before were out of contests to join in! HUUUURRRRYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"Ah Sorry! Ok!"Li-Mei said in a funny but addicted apologetic tone and they went to the registra tion counter to fill up the forms
"Im going to join the eating contest and the individual cosplay. What about you Mei?" asked Shuichi
"Ive always loved the karaoke contest best and i love to join the individual cosplay too you know! So, i gotta do my best in this! YEAH!! And im gonna meet lots of friends and so do you! YEAH!!! And who knows? I can meet my next boyfriend! HAWHAWHAW!!! YEAHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Then, last week's situation crossed Li-Mei's mind.....
1 MONTH AGO.....
"Hey Cutie! Guess what, im going to a cosplay event in my family's hometown! And my IDOL Avril Lavigne is also one of the judges! If i go there, im gonna get her autograph for myself and-"
"Are you leaving me?? Or youre gonna go to that event to see somebody?!"
"Who'se somebody are you talking about?! I dont know what you mean or are you just..."
"You might see that guy youre crushing on again in that event!! Li-Mei, im your boyfriend! You belong to me and i belong to you always! I wont allow you to go! You are the girl i am going to marry after we graduate from high school! And my family approved of you already! Cant you see?!"
"But i am going with my bestfriend Shuichi from my former school! To be honest im not supposed to
tell you about this coz i know this situation will happen again! You will get mad, fight, scream,
curse, all the crap!! Im going to be fine!!! Shu will be with me!! And he is my best friend! And
i have already made preparations! The reason why you saw me on town the other day is because i
had my costume done! You really are stalking me arent you?! This time you have crossed the line!"
"But, i need to protect you! From him! I can see, he's courting you again! And, please, be honest
with me. Are you inlove with him or are you dumping me like this after all what we have been through!
Answer me! You cant make a jealous and crazy man go back to his normal state! All i can say is,
That you are not going to the event! And that is perfectly.................FINAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Tell your friend Shuichi that you are cancelling the trip to the event. Or tell him to ask somebody
else instead. On that day, im taking you out with me on a date and that is settled and final..!"
"You really...are such a crazy jealous freak..! I cant stand it! Of course i appreciate what you
do, protecting me and all,but not letting me even be with Shu? I cant believe you doubt my best
friend! God! You are such a loser!!!!!!!! Im tired of this shitty fight, and im going home.
ALONE!!!!!!! And dont even dare or else im going to punch the lights out of your jealous ass!!!"
"Fine! Be that way! You cant play the tough chickie on me forever!!"
BACK TO THE MAIN EVENT......
"Miss, you are making the other participants wait in line! Please stop daydreaming and register on your preferred contest..." said the registrar.
"Yes, Im sorry! Here! Im Done!" Li-Mei gave her form
"You are so spaced sister! You look weird today! Anything bothering you?" asked Shuichi
"Come on! Let's check the whole event! They will announce later the time for each contest!" Li-Mei enthusiastically told Shuichi and the whole day they had fun meeting friends, taking pictures and videos of them both and other cosplayers..They even got an interview in a famous anime channel in the country! Then, they had fun and well, they were one of the happiest people during the said event and well, they even got to meet their Idol! When the event was over, they were so tired to shreads even when they changed their costumes, they got tired! But still they managed to get home safe and with normal clothes.............................................
AT THE BUS...
"Hey, guess what! When Avril judged me at the karaoke contest, she told me i was good and fine!
That's why i made it to the TOP 4 finalists! I was soo inspired! Too bad i only went 1st place!
Good for the Champion, she got the P15.0000 cash prize and an all expense paid shopping and trip
to Japan! Well, at least i got my cash prize worth P10.000! Yeah! And check out the manga i bought
and the DVD of the anime Sakura Taisen and this is the Sumire Retirement Spesh!!! Dontcha know ive
been longing for this DVD for sooooooooo loooooong????!!!!!!! I really reallly had soooo much fun!
And i got Avieeee's autograph!!!!!!!!!! Im soo happy im gonna die!!!!!!!!! YEAH RIGHT I AM!!!!!!!
"Yeah Mei! And check out this Haruhi plushie i got! One day, when Daphne becomes my girlfriend,
Im gonna give this to her! BWAHAHAHAHHAHAHAA!!!!!!!!!!!!! And she'll be sooooo pleased! By the way,
why were you spaced out during registration? Is anything bothering you? Or are you nervous??????"
"Wait, let me check my phone..Darn discreet mode..."
"Aiyaa! Ive got 30 Missed Calls and 30 Text Messages!"
"To whom is it from? I'll check. gimme your phone" asked Shuichi while Li-Mei gave the cellphone to him and allowed him to check on the latter.........
"Hmmm, lets see...Mom, Dad, Your Mom, Ashlie,and most of the others come from Mike!"
"What?! From Mike?! No freaking way!!! I gotta call my Dad right away! I gotta call Mom! In short,
i gotta call home!!!!!! Right Now!!!!!!" Then, Li-Mei called home first......
RINGING....
"Hello? Mom! Its me! We left for about 8:00! Please tell Dad to fetch me and Shu at the bus station! Tell him to bring the car!!!"
"Okay, here's the plan: You gotta go down first to check if the coast is clear, ok? I'll tell the rest later!" "Li-Mei, what are you afraid of?! And why are you so stressed and chickened out all of a sudden?!!" "Okay bro, you see last week, Mike and i had a fight coz he wont allow me to go on the event! And now i am worried that once we get off this bus, we might see him first thing once we get on the station back home! Dear God...What am i gonna do?!!!!" Li-Mei fretted
"Thank God you only brought a small luggage for your stuff! While i have my props over here and a backpack!!!!!! Best friend, you gotta sleep this off..I know youre tired." Shuichi told her.
"So do you too. You are tired as well. Just dont forget to wake me up ok?"
"Ok. Fine. Night for awhile!"
Then, while Li-Mei sleeps, she zoomed off to dreams.......
DREAM SEQUENCE...
"Where am i...?...? This looks like the school! And it looks kinda haunted.."
The wind began to blow eerily....
"Come to me...." a soft but scary voice was heard.
"Who's there?? Who are you??"
"Come to me...." the voice repeated again
"Who are you?...? Where are you..?"
"Up in the highest tree..Look up....."
"You are...? Her..! You are indeed real!"
"Yes..I am...Ai Enma...I need your help.."
The wind suddenly became strong....
"Ah! Its windy!"
"I will come back......"
"No..! Ai..! Ai Enma..! Come back..! I've got to ask you..."
END OF DREAM SEQUENCE
"Li-Mei! Li-Mei! Wake up! Were at the bus station! Quit dreamin'and wake up!"
"Oh! Whoa! What hap, Shu?"
"Dammit, youre dreamin! You still have the cosplay fever on you, Ai Enma! Hurry! Remember, if you dont wanna get fried by the Microphone, wake up!!!!!" Shuichi exclaimed.
"Aiyaa! I must hurry! Shu, you go down first! Getchur stuff and go! I'll follow! Check if the coast is clear! Hurry!" Li-Mei hurriedly commanded.
When Li-Mei went down, she was relieved that she saw her Dad's car..And, when she saw her Dad,
she was happy to narrate what happened during the day................
"Hi Daddy! Im soo exited to tell you about the cosplay convention we went to in our hometown! If that's ok, can we drop off my bestie Shuichi at their house if you dont mind?"
"If that's what you wish dear, we'll drop him off!"
"Come on Shu! Let's go!" Li-Mei called.
In the car, Li-Mei's Dad was busy talking to his business partners while the two engage in last minuite conversations before Shuichi was dropped off at their place............................
"What did you dream about?"
"I saw Ai Enma... You wont believe me, but it is true! I dreamt of her! I hope i am connected to her in some way possible! Then.............................."
"Come on Best! You really are obsessed with Ai Enma arent you?"
"Yeah! But, i'll tell you the rest tomorrow, its Saturday anyway! We can meet up in the usual place near the mall! Deal?"
"I'll try, but im not promising! I just hope my mom will make me run errands tomorrow at the gro cery in the mall! I'll just text you, deal? And after we talk, ive gots to review for my finals!"
"Sure! So do i! After this week,im gonna hit my dictionaries coz im taking the SYSUCLFLST."
"Youre gonna take the entrance test to Sun Yat Sen University?"
"It has always been my dream Shu. Didnt i tell ya that before?"
"Oh Yeah! I forgot!"
"Ok, im off! See ya if i text ya, my bestfriend!"
"Bye!"
Then, Li-Mei said to herself, "For now, im off home! What a rockin' day"
THE NEXT DAY.....8:00 AM..
RINNGG..RIINNGG...RIIINGGG..(IN VIBRATING MODE)
"Dammit, so early in the morn..Yawn, who could it be?"
"Hello..? Shu?"
"Li-Mei Cutie, It's Mike."
"What does my cutie pie want 1st thing in the morning..?" She said sweetly but in a sleepy mode.
"Of course, your love, attention...And my usual Good Morning kiss...Mwah!" He said cutely.
"Oooh..You really are the sweetest boifriend in the world! Mwah! Good Morning to ya! Mwah! Mwah!"
"So baby, Where are ya goin later?"
Li-Mei thought to herself, "Oh no.. Im waiting for Shu's message..I should tell him im gonna go to the library...No! Im going to the hospital to see my Dad and help out in his clinic! Yes!"
"Me? Yeah! Im going to the hospital to help out my Dad..I need a lift!" she lied.
"You? A lift? What lift?" he asked
"Yes! A lift, my allowance i mean!" she lied again.
"Oh really? I can help if you want to.." he told her.
"No thanks, ive got my own! HEHE!"
"Okay Miss Independent, i'll just call you if im out okay? I'll tell you where i am."
"Ah, okay, fine, my phone is always with me!"
"By the way love, why aren▓t you answering my calls yesterday?" he asked her sweetly while Li-Mei thought of an idea on how to end the call. She wanted to pretend that her mom is knocking but in truth, she was. But she realized that the call was a Video Call! Right now, all she asks is simply just Divine Intervention...........
Then suddenly, she was heard! Thank goodness!
KNOCK KNOCK
"Li-Mei, breakfast is ready! Get up! Your favorite is on the table! Bacon and Eggs with Hot Chocolate and Rice! Come out before i eat it all up! HUREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"Wow!! Yes!! My fave breakfast is on the table! Yummy! Gotta go love! Im hungry! Bye!"
Then, she rushed downstairs...
"Aiyaa, as i said, you really are late! Just eat up!"
"Yes Ma, im eatin! Im eatin!!!"
"Next week, me and your Auntie Yiyi will go to the temple. Do you want to go with us?"
"When will that be? Is Little Sayi going with us? I miss my little cuzin all too dearly!"
"I dont know, but we will see.."
"Okay Mom, im gonna bath."
BEEP BEEEP
"Oh No! Message! Can it be Shu?"
"From unknown number: 'Hi! Remember me? I have been waiting for you since the last time we were online..I saw you sing again in the cosplay event..Did you see me there too? You are in the Hell Girl kimono costume right? The last time i met you, you were in uniform..."
⌠Hmmm? Who are you?? How did you get my number?■ she texted back
