This just may set off your jealous meters, but… At Anime North, 2013, I met Katie Griffin (Lydia, Krissy) and Linda Ballantyne (Unknown) two guest-actors from 6teen, and don't forget in 2012 I met Christan Potenza (Jude)
INTRO
Canada Day, a time to celebrate the birth of a glorious country. To raise your head high, and to open your heart, and feel proud to be a Canadian, and all around the mall… you couldn't look anywhere without seeing someone holding a flag, or wearing a shirt with the flag on it, or a red and white cap or hat with our Maple Leaf on it.
Caitlin even had leafs decorated all over the lemon and wearing a beautiful white scarf with the leaf on it. "What do you think?" she asked. "Looking good, Cait." said Jen. Instead of her Leon Shreds sports jacket, she wore a special promotional Canadian shirt and cap the Penalty Box was dealing…
…but Nikki didn't feel so optimistic, if anything she looked frazzled and grumpier than ever. "I'm starting to think I don't care if ever see another leaf again." she groaned. She had been asked by her college prof to write up an essay on Canada Day and its history, to help improve her skills to be a travel writer, but after a whole week she had barely gotten any farther than…
"Canada was born July 1st, 1879…"
"Ugh! This is hopeless!"
"Come on…" said Wyatt "There's lots of things about Canada you can mention."
"Yeah, like what?"
"Like how Maple Syrup is one of our best exports…" I said. "Ahh, excellent detail, dude." Jude said as he opened a packet of syrup and guzzled it down whole. "Ah! Sweet..!"
"Or how we used to have only two territories…" added Jen.
"Ooh… there are even all our animals like Caribou, Beavers, and Geese…"
Nikki's eye twitched nervously. "I stand corrected… it's not hopeless. It's impossible!" she groaned and slammed her head down on the table, just as Jonesy came along with a big box. "Fireworks…! Get your Canada Day Fireworks!" he hollered "Celebrate the countries birth with a bang!"
Two dudes came along and each bought a couple of rockets from him. "Hang tough my fellow Canadians."
The rest of us could hardly believe he was doing well at his new job, and Jude gazed at the many different fireworks like a chest of treasure. "Dude… these are, like, so awesome. The thunder-cracker… Galaxy Kablam…" he gasped at a giant rocket ship shaped one "The Big One!"
Even Wyatt gazed awkwardly at it "The one in a million, impossible to duplicate, most colorful, and biggest blaster of them all? It's too beautiful for words."
"No joke…" added Jonesy "These babies will go sweet at the fireworks show tonight."
"And don't forget the Canada Day dance as well before that." added Caitlin, "EEE… it's going to be so fun."
"I know right…!" squealed Jen, but finally, Nikki snapped, screamed, and ran off, and we all exchanged looks of concern about her at one another.
