Chapter I: A gig before departure
The roar of the crowd was defining. Cheers and shouts all around the stage. It was dark with only the dim neon spotlights were the only source of light there. But when the lights suddenly turned on, the cheers erupted more from the crowd, as different conventioneers were getting impatient for the show to start.
and videos as they want. Because they want to remember this particular performance by the latest band, that been only performing in cosplay events such as this. Vector. That is the bands name. Consisting of eight members of four boys, and four girls. As the girls start-as they say, ladies first-the crowd began to silence as much as they can. As seeing as it is a cosplay event, the band has been required to wear the costumes. The girls of Vector had been given costumes from the anime K-ON! Now, as they looked the part, it was time to get the event started.
The guitar started to play by the coplayer acting the part of Yui Hirasawa with the choices of chords. As the crowd recognized it they immediately cheered their heads off as they worked their fingers on their devices.

Like glitter's raining on me
You like a shot of pure gold

We can do this all night
Turn this club, skin tight
Baby come on
Pull me like a bass drum
Sparkin' up a rhythm
Baby, come on!
Make this dream the best I've ever known
Dirty dancing in the moonlight
Take me down like I'm a domino
When we touch don't ever let me go
Dirty dancing in the moonlight
Take me down like I'm a domino
You got me loosing my mind
My heart beats out of time
I'm seeing Hollywood stars
You strike
You strike me like a guitar
Now I'm breathing like I'm running cause you're taking me there
Don't you know...you spin me out of control
We can do this all night
Turn this club, skin tight
Baby come on
Pull me like a bass drum
Sparkin' up a rhythm
Baby, come on!
Make this dream the best I've ever known
Dirty dancing in the moonlight
Take me down like I'm a domino
When we touch don't ever let me go
Dirty dancing in the moonlight
Take me down like I'm a domino
Ooh baby baby got me feeling so right
Ooh baby baby dancing in the moonlight
Ooh baby baby got me feeling so right
Ooh baby baby dancing in the moonlight
Ooh baby baby got me feeling so right
Ooh baby baby dancing in the moonlight
Rock my world into the sunlight
Make this dream the best I've ever known
Dirty dancing in the moonlight
Take me down like I'm a domino
When we touch don't ever let me go
Dirty dancing in the moonlight
Take me down like I'm a domino
The crowd went wild when they jammed to the beat of the song 'til finish. The cosplaying band waved and bowed to the crowd in gratitude.
"Thank you for coming in this years anime convention, and for watching our band play!" announced the Mio Akiyama cosplayer.
"You guys are all awesome! We are Otaku's all the way, wouldn't you say?", spoke the Ritsu Tainaka cosplayer and thus having the crowd in more high spirits.
"Don't let anyone think any less of you for being an Otaku enthusiast.", added the Tsumugi Kotobuki cosplayer. "It is our choice, not theirs. There is no age limit. So keep the fandom going in your hearts, and keep your imaginations alive!"
"Yeah!", replied the conventioneers.
"But…let's not stray too much away from reality.", said the Yui Hirasawa cosplayer. "Keep the child of yourselves in your hearts to keep you going. We still need to accomplish things in this lifetime."
"You're absolutely right, Yui-chan!", agreed the Tsumugi cosplayer.
"Now all of you remember that, okay everyone?", said the Mio cosplayer to the crowd.
"Okay!", was their majority of reply.
"Everyone enjoy this years cosplay event!"
**O**
Florence POV
"Can you believe on how many conventioneers are there this year? Crazy, man!", I laughed along with everyone on the subject as Kaitlin was taking off her Ritsu wig. I have to admit. The anime convention this year seems to be bigger than last year.
"It's really unbelievable. I thought I'd faint on the spot on how many people were watching us." Chastity giggled as she took off her Tsumugi wig.
"Good thing you didn't, Chas. Or I would have joined you the second you did!" I laughed as I took my Mio wig. "Could you throw me some bottled water, Cammy?"
"Here you go, Flo. Seriously, I'm betting the guys are gonna be shocked as us when they play this evening.", Cammy drank her water after taking off the Yui wig.
"A bet, huh?", said Kaitlin with interest. Oh boy, here we go. "How much are you willing to bet on that, Camms?"
"Is this really necessary?" I asked but I was totally ignored. Ouch.
"How about 50 bucks? Losers get the lot.", said Cammy with a smirk.
"Interesting. Count me in, then.", said Chas with a raised hand. I sighed. This is unbelievable.
"How 'bout you, Flo?", Kaitlin asked when she looked my way.
I shook my head no. "Thanks, but no thanks, guys." They just shrugged it off and continued to talk about their plan. It's funny though. With them talking and forgetting about taking off their hairnets. I just shook my head in amusement.
I was then pulled away from my thoughts when my cell phone rang. I checked the caller ID. It was Alodia. Oh boy. "Hello?"
"Flo, where are you? You were supposed to be back at the dressing rooms ten minute ago.", Alodia's voice said at the other end.
"Sorry, Adi. Just got caught up on something.", I saw my three band mates snickering from the corner of my eye. I pouted. So not helping. "Just get the costume and makeup artists ready. I'll be there in five minutes."
"Okay. But hurry." And with that the call ended. I gave a deep sigh as I started to leave.
"Sorry. Duty calls."
"That's okay. We understand.", said Kaitlin as she gave me a thumbs up.
"What anime or game are they letting you cosplay as, Flo?", Cammy just has to ask, doesn't she? I sighed.
"Disgea 2, Camms. I'm going to be cosplaying as Rozaline." Kaitlin then laughed followed by Cammy. Chastity just gave a knowing smile. Yup. Here it comes.
"That makes sense! Seeing as you have the body for it!" Cammy continued to laugh. They all did, but in a good way. It was a friendly tease.
"Or more specifically, her chest. Can you say 'boob-a-licious'?" Kaitlin said between her laughter. That's right. A fifteen year old with a chest size that can make any girl who wants to have on, envious. I blame genetics, and my mom. Who also had the same blessed (or cursed) chest size as she was a teen.
"Come now, you guys." I snapped out of my thoughts when Chastity squeezed my chest. I was so shocked that I couldn't even speak. "It's still adorable, right? You can only see these kinds of things in anime."
When I had enough strength back to pry myself out from Chastity's deadly hold. The first thing that came out of my mouth was, "Boob abuse!" then hightailed out of there. I could still hear my band mates laugh. But I found myself smiling when I reached the dressing rooms.
**O**
As Elizabeth finally placed the wig on the strawberry blonde's head, the auburn haired woman continued until the hair ornament in Rozaline's, that was used to hold up her hair, in place. Thae makeup was also done the minute Alodia's helpful designers assisted Florence to wear the ever familiar dress of Rozaline from Disgea 2. With wings, jewelry and pistol, to boot. And with that, Florence Zendra looked the part of the demon princess.
Elizabeth stepped back and marveled her latest work. Feeling very proud, indeed. "Look at that. You really are heaven sent, Florence."
"Thanks, Eli." Said Florence as she gazed upon reflection on the large vanity mirror. She had to admit, Elizabeth worked magic on her. She was surprised when she saw that Elizabeth made her wear demon styled contacts.
"Oops. I've gotta inform Alodia and the rest now. Wait for a bit, okay?" Elizabeth was already on her way to the door when she said it. Leaving Florence alone for a while.
She sighed when she hauled herself up the chair in front of the vanity and walked to the refreshment corner of the room. "My god. I swear if this place wasn't air conditioned, this dress would have been difficult to move in." Florence then drank a paper cup full of fizzy lime drink, then walked over to the vacant couch near the door. She drank the beverage again then threw the paper cup in the trash bin just next to the door. After a few minutes of waiting, Florence let out a yawn. She blinked as she dabbed the corner of her eyes with her pastel blue handkerchief.
"That's weird.", she said as she yawned again. "I must be more tired than I thought." Deciding on taking a little cat nap wouldn't hurt, Florence leaned back and let herself get comfortable.
The last thing she remembered was that her vision turned hazy, then everything went white, before seeing nothing but an endless abyss.
'Your journey has finally begun.'
