EL'S P.O.V

"Uh, 'scuse me?"

A voice cut through my sleep and my eyes fluttered open. Blinking once, twice, I yawned.

"Miss? We're here."

The voice belonged to a cabbie. I shook off the last remnants of sleep and gave the driver a grin. At last!

"How much do I owe you?"

He consulted his dashboard "That'll be $48, please."

I dug around in my pocket until I found the correct amount of cash, then handed him the fare. "Thanks," I said, stretching "and see you around, yeah?"

"Hope you enjoy your stay in Anaheim."

I grinned again, and got out of the cab. Walking around the side of the car, I reached the boot and opened it, taking out my luggage. I had finally made it to California!

For years, I had been planning to go to VidCon, but had always found ways of putting it off. But this year, thanks to some persuasion from my internet buddy, Jack, I had finally made the effort to come. Jack and I had been friends online for years, despite me living in England and him America, and I'd seen his channel grow from being an averaged sized one to a huge account with over a million subs. Closing the boot, I turned and found myself in front of The Alpha Hotel, my hotel for the duration of the convention. Jack had said he was staying there too and I was excited at the prospect of meeting my online friend face to face at last.

Sure, we'd skyped and stuff, but that wasn't exactly the same as actually having a real conversation with someone, in the same room.

I walked up to the entrance of the hotel and entered, finding myself in the reception area. I walked up to the front desk and gave the receptionist a small smile.

"Welcome to the Alpha, what can I do for you?"

"Um, hi. I booked a room here?"

"Name?"

"Cassidy."

She tapped something into her computer and waited for some results to come in. Frowning, she directed her attention back to me

"I'm sorry, but there's no reservation under that name."

I froze. "Are you sure?"

She gave me a pointed look. "Yes. There's no record of a booking under the name Cassidy."

I was sure I had booked a room. Positive in fact... I was just about to make the receptionist check again when a voice next to me said

"You can room with me if you like?"

I turned to see a man with dirty blonde hair and blue eyes smirking at me.

"Jack!" I threw my arms around him. "It's so good to finally see you! You know, in the flesh and stuff."

"You too, El!" He grinned, hugging me back "So, what's this about you not having a reservation?"

"Apparently there's no room for me," I rolled my eyes "I'm so screwed."

"Well, I meant what I said, you can stay with me if you want. I have a sofa in my room?"

"If you're sure?" I asked, grinning when he nodded "Then great! Thanks!"

Jack turned to the receptionist, who was staring up at him with wide eyes

"Room for Douglass."

"I know who you are," She was batting her eyelashes now. Reaching under her desk she pulled out a key and a welcome booklet. She scribbled something on it, then gave Jack a grin so wide it looked like it hurt. "Here's your key, Mr. Douglass. Enjoy your stay at The Alpha."

Smiling politely, Jack took the key and headed for the lift, beckoning me to follow.

Once inside, I asked "Did she just do what I think she just did?"

"If you think she just gave me her number, then yeah, she did."

I burst out laughing "Is she blind?" Fortunately, Jack and I were good enough friends for him to know I was kidding.

"What can I say? Biches love me." He grinned

"Oh Jack, you and your films," I smirked "Or should I say John?"

"Oh, shut up, Elrond."

"I don't see how calling me Elrond is an insult, dutchbag. He's badass. And an elf lord. And played by Hugo Weaving, who is awesome as hell," I said, laughing "What more could I ask for?"

"Whatever," He said, rolling his eyes

After Jack and I got settled in, we decided to explore.

"Wait, I'll just text some people. See if they've arrived," He said, pulling out his phone "You'll want to meet them."

I nodded and opened up my suitcase. After rummaging around for a bit, I found what I was looking for; my camera. Might as well do a bit of vlogging for my side channel whilst I'm here.

My main channel was for my music. I did everything; Originals, covers, parodies. You name it. I had two side channels, one for vlogging, and another for gaming. On my main channel, I had a little over 60,000 subscribers, and a few less on the others. As well as meeting Jack, (and all his friends, it seemed) I was also looking forward to seeing all my fans, or the Cassanovas as I called them, and taking photos and things.

"Okay, done," Jack said "My friends Sean, Olga and Toby are here and they're up for an adventure. Do you wanna go find them?"

"Sure," I smiled "I can't wait."

A/N: So that was fun. I really wanted to include Jack as he and Toby are my favourite YouTubers (I might write a Jackfic if I finish this, what do you think?) and I thought that this would be a good way to do it. Toby will, most probably, appear in the next chapter. So don't worry!

Also, I just really like Hugo Weaving, okay?
