CHAPTER ONE==

You are John Egbert, and today is like THE MOST EXCITING DAY OF YOUR LIFE. Today you are going to meet Jade Harley, your Internet friend, at a Comicon- and SHE'S BRINGING TWO MORE PEOPLE TO MEET. You can barely contain yourself, and your older cousin can barely contain herself, too. Jane is such an overreacter sometimes, and you hope she will not embarrass you in front of Jade and her other friends. You are going as an adventurer from one of your favorite movies: Indiana Jones. Jane says you look "rather gay", but you like this outfit a lot. It doesn't matter what your wacky cousin says. But maybe... You do look a little... Kinda... Maybe it's the skin tight shorty shorts that were probably made for girls. Or this button up shirt that is missing some buttons. Or all that put together with the whip. Okay. Yeah. You look pretty gay. But whatever, it's not like Jade or her friends probably have anything against gay people. Not that your'e gay, your motto is "No homo". Well, that's just something you have to say to people a lot.

"Let's go, John!" Jane calls you from the car. You hurry downstairs and grab your special bunny on the way down.

Jumping into the shotgun seat, you quickly buckle up and clutch Casey to your chest as Jane backs out of the driveway.

"Well, is Jade nice?" Jane asks absently when they reach the highway. You look up at her.

"Yeah! She's very thoughtful and sincere. I'm sort of jealous about of how, like, creative she is." You answer. "I swear we're like twins, though! I've seen pictures of her and she looks almost just like me, only with big green eyes instead of blue, and really long beautiful hair... But she has tan skin."

Jane laughs. "And you're whiter than vanilla ice cream!" You pout childishly.

"I try to get tan, Jane. I sunbath and wear no shirt all the time, and all I do is burn."

"Well. I do hope you don't burn with those shorts on...that would be a ridiculous tan line- or shall I say, burn line." She ruffled his hair with a free hand, keeping one on the wheel and propping her knee up to help steer.

A few minutes later, you reach the Seattle convention center. Flocks of cosplayers are gathered around the doors and there appear to be many more inside. You can see a definite difference in the groups: the anime cosplayers, the steampunks, the Sci-Fis, and the movie lovers. Everyone has such great outfits, and that makes pretty nervous to get out of the car because of the items you are wearing. Nevertheless, you are eager to greet Jade and her friends, so you begin scanning the crowds, adjusting your glasses with your middle finger up the bridge of your nose.

"Hey, are you getting out or what?" Jane flicks your ear through the open shotgun window. You jolt to attention.

"Hey!" You rub the spot she flicked. "That stung." You swing open the door to the little blue Honda and get out, adjusting your shorts and attempting to look dignified. Instead, you look really gay. Jane laughs as you make a face and try to rid yourself of a wedgie. It happens. You shrug and pray silently that you will not attract any unwanted attention.

You go over the instructions that Jade gave you. "Look for me near the furries... I'll be with a large white dog and two blonde kids."

You gulp. Jane stares. The crowds shift constantly, like a pool of water that has just been disturbed by some rocks thrown by a little boy.

You search for the familiar face of your cyberbuddy in the crowd, and upon realizing she is most likely inside, you grab Jane's hand and pull her through the masses. She stumbles over her own feet and yelps, but you don't slow down. You are too frightened of people seeing your outfit and making mean comments, or worse, catcalls or something of the sort. That kind of thing really scares you.

Once you get to the door, you cautiously enter the building with a dramatic feeling in your stomach. Jane peers around, questioning the dress of some cosplayers and you shush her nervously. Just then, a girl about your height jumps at you from behind.

"JOHN! You made it!" Jade Harley glomps you with all the force of a tornado on a prairie. You, Dorothy, are swept away on the back of it and fall right on your butt. Jade pulls you up and then pinches your cheeks.

"You are so paaaalle!" You try to answer but cannot due to the fact your cheeks are being stretched like silly putty and Jade is waving you around like the wind blows a dead cornstalk. Her strength surprises you greatly, and once she calms down, you pat her shoulders and take a deep breath.

"I'm glad to see you, too... Oh, this is Jane Crocker, my cousin." You smile at her and Jade looks at Jane with an expression of wonder and distaste on her face, then shrugs and glomps Jane too. "Nice to meet you, Jane!"

Jane looks scared.

A blonde girl who has been watching the scene from afar comes closer and addresses you.

"Hello, I'm Rose Lalonde... You are John, I presume? It's nice to finally make your acquaintance; I've heard about you a lot from Jade." Rose has an attractive smile and looks wise beyond her years. She adjusts her purple headband and swings one end of her green-and-black Slytherin scarf over her shoulder. Her black robe billows out behind her and gives her a mysterious look. She smiles that charming smile and you find yourself wondering what her mother looks like.

"We've been waiting on Dave for a while now; I wish he would just move his lazy ass and get over here. I'm pretty sure he doesn't want us chasing him down and he especially doesn't want us seeing/meeting his bro." Rose sounds annoyed yet nonchalant about this Dave's failure to show up. Jade giggles.

"Dave just likes showing up fashionably late. He's such a girl!"

Rose nodded, a small smile tugging up the corners of her lips. "He's going to be wearing something semi-stupid and listening to his own voice warble into his ears through expensive headphones that work no better than regular earbuds but look 'soooo much cooler'..."

"And then he'll say something like"-at this, Jade struck a pose like she was leaning against a wall-" 'fancy seeing you here, children' in a really sarcastic voice and then paste a fake smile on his face that turns into an 'ironic' smirk." Jade laughed and threw her arms around your neck again. "You're gonna love Dave."

You are so happy right now, and somehow you get the feeling your mood is only going to improve with the arrival of Dave.

"I am so friggin happy I got the chance to meet you here, Jade. And Rose, you have a pretty smile."

Rose allows herself a tiny grin at that, giving her eyes a mischievous glint and Jade squeezes you tightly.

In this moment, you really are happy...but you find yourself wandering to the topic of where Jade's large white dog is. You love dogs.

AN:I hope you liked it! Next chapter is in Dave's perspective and we meet more peeps!
