"Hello ! Here we go with day one at Comic-Con 2016." Celaena waved with her left hand at the camera. "I woke up really early today to get ready, so I'm so sleepy and excited." She smiled and got up from her bed to walk around her room. "I'm waiting for everyone to be ready and join us here. Surprisingly, I'm not the last one !"

The hotel room door opened, and she looked to her right, to see Lysandra coming in with everyone. The brunette smiled at the camera and walked next to her friend.

"I got us iced-coffee !" She said excitingly.

Celaena eyed up the plastic cup in Lysandra's hand, and went to grab it.

"Thank me first." Lysandra grinned and took a step back.

"Oh my god. Just give me my coffee woman !" She growled. "Everyone's drinking theirs, gimme !"

She filmed the whole gang in her room. Elide and Manon sprawled up on her bed totally ignoring her battering. Whereas Aedion was sitting on the loveseat alternating between sipping his drink and eating sweets, that served as his breakfast.

"Love you C." Finally she handed her the precious drink and went to lean on the wall near Aedion.

Celaena got a quick sip of her ice coffee. Every morning was in a need of caffeine, to start off the day well and be on her bet behaviour to handle others. A soft moan slipped through her mouth.

"Hello good mood." Showing her drink next to her face on the screen. "And Love you too Lys."

"Manon get off your girlfriend for once, and both of you come up here. It's outfit of the day time !" She exclaimed while behind her Manon was flipping her off, her mouth still on her girlfriend's.

"Of course I had to wear an appropriate outfit, and I got a Tardis dress." Celaena twirled around making her skater dress float along. Her hair were half up in a messy bun, and long blond locks were falling on her shoulders.

"Lysandra here, decided to dress up as Lara Croft. Look at that !" The brunette took a pose making a gun with her hands. She was a soft Lara instead of a slutty one. Shorts and t-shirt. Also perfect for the hot summer weather.

"And now the lovebirds." Elide took Manon's hand, and dragged her up to fit on Celaena's screen. "How cute is that ? They matched !"

As usual Elide was the one who cheered up. "I'm Aurora and she's Maleficent." She bowed down quickly giggling. Manon smirked at her girlfriend's joyful play, before returning to her blank face.

"So we got a princess, a heartless witch, a badass woman and the Queen of the nerds. Welcome to San Diego." Aedion's voice was heard in the background, along with the crunching of his breakfast. Manon snorted, internally agreeing with him.

"And you are the King of no fun." Celaena turned her camera to focus on him chilling in his chair, dressed up as usual. White t-shirt showing off his abs and dark blue jeans with black sneakers.

"See you all there guys and have fun. Peace !" Celaena finished her vlog on a happy note accompanied by a peace sign.

The whole gang went on their way to the Convention Centre. All of them excited to go there once again and be reunited. Plans were made in advance to please everyone's desire to what panel they wanted to assist and with whom.

Once at the hall, they spent the whole morning walking around, and taking pictures in front of their favourite tv shows, making silly faces, posing alone or all together. It was also the occasion to spend their money on souvenirs and funny stuffs.

They were taking turns at a photobooth. Celaena collected them all, the best memory ever. Standing next to Manon, she was trying to make her friend smile. Between her silly faces and ugly ones, she finally got a tiny smile from her. Immediately she put her left arm around Manon's waist, and let her tongue out when the flash went on. The grunt and stoic face of their friend was priceless that they all burst into laughing.

After getting the pictures, Celaena couldn't stop pointing at all the non-happy faces Manon did. She didn't care if her loud comments were heard by strangers or annoying to them. Her joy was so expressive. Her laugh so strong and beautiful. Spontaneously she twirled around, shaking the pictures to her friends. Of course Lysandra got all of that on camera.

•

In the exhibition hall he was randomly walking around with his friend, before going into the line of the panel they wanted to assist. He stopped at a stand to buy a poster when he heard a pretty or weird laugh coming from behind. By curiosity he turned around for a second, then picked up the paid stuff he got to put it away in his backpack.

A second later he felt like he's seen the girl before. His brown eyes went back on the girl moving around and giggling like crazy. She stopped to talk to her friends, still smiling. Those blue eyes, he saw them last night.

Staring at her, he admired her beauty more than the night before. He didn't realised her hair was this long in front of the restaurant, it was tied up. So blonde and long. He couldn't help himself but to smile too.

"Dude, why are you being creepy ?" His thoughts were interrupted by his friend.

"Uh. What ?" He finished closing his backpack. "We should move if we want to enter the panel."

"Sure. I'm done there anyway. Let's go."

They started walking but he couldn't help himself, and glanced at her one last time. She was pretty in her Doctor Who dress and white converse. It clashed with her tattoos too. He wondered what she got tattooed on her, to get close enough to examine them all on her pearly white skin.

"Seriously man !" His exasperated friend told him. "Did you find cool chicks ?" He huffed as a reply.

"Don't you have a girlfriend ?"

"I do, but I still got eyes." He answered to his friend with a smirk.

•

Everyone got to the panel of their choices. Celaena with Lysandra, Elide and Manon went to the panel of one of their favourite author. Especially since Celaena was moderating the hour long panel. They wanted to support their friend in her work and passion.

On the other side of the hall, Aedion rejoined with a friend to assist a Call of Duty panel. Not interested in the books his cousin was into.

The whole gang regrouped at the exit near Aedion's panel. All the girls were talking excitingly and almost didn't see the tall blonde guy waiting for them. He whistled to get their attention.

At the same time the duo from earlier heard the whistle and looked around to know who did it.

"Who the fuck do you think we are to whistle us ? Do I look like I'm walking the street for work ?" Celaena's voice was hard and loud.

The two guys turned to her, and once again he was fascinated by her. She was beautiful, nice and confident enough to yell after her friend, he thought.

"Isn't it more fun ? And I got you to turn around before leaving without me." He smiled at her and put his arm around her shoulders. "How was your work panel ?"

Celaena started to recount the last hour with comments from the girls.

"Why is this guy staring at us ? What's his problem?" Manon suddenly asked with disdain.

All eyes went to the duo that was standing on the other side of the hall.

"Uh. Is he bugging or something?" Added Lysandra. "I think your whistling had some bad effects, thanks Aedion."

Celaena stared too, and she recognised the guy from the previous night. He was not looking at them, but her. She cleared her throat and averted her eyes.

From what she remembered he was shy, but he was fixating on her. As nice as it was she was starting to find him creepy, no matter how handsome he was. Her blue eyes went back on him and his friend was bumping into his shoulders. Probably to make him stop. His brown eyes opened widely looking right into hers before lowering them.

Aedion's back straightened up. "C, he's staring at you. I'm gonna go-"

"No. You won't do shit. I hum sorta know him." She whispered. "I met him last night, he needed a cigarette."

"You must have made an impression on him. Even with his creepiness, he's good looking." Lysandra said. "You should go to him. He's still standing there."

Aedion closed his grip on his cousin's shoulders, outcome of his surprise from Lysandra's words. He totally thought both of them were crazy. There was nothing attractive in a guy who looked like an idiot who just discovered women, and didn't know what to do about it.

Celaena was debating if she should go to him or not. Sure, they sort of talked last night, and she found him handsome. In no way was she shy, but he was still impressing, she couldn't quite understand why.

So it was with confidence that she went to him. Aedion's arm fell into thin air, asthoningly watching his cousin walk away. He took a step to follow her, but stopped at the grunt coming from Lysandra. Her eyes were murderous and he stood still, scared of what she'll do to him if he moved another inch. Deep down he knew she was right, but his instinct to protect Celaena was hard to control. She could take care of herself, putting back this dumb guy in his place.

"Man, she's coming. You creeped her out with your staring. What's wrong with you ?" His friend whined to him, and leaned on the wall to avoid watching the coming disaster.

"Wh-What?" He stuttered back.

"Hi !" She said to him as cheerfully as could, to hide the stressing feeling she had. "We met last night right ?"

"Uh. Yeah. I asked you for a cigarette." He tried to smile, but he was apprehensive she was going to bawl at him for what he did.

"Is your boyfriend gonna punch us?" Suddenly asked the black haired guy behind.

Celaena was surprised and didn't know who he was talking about. Then she turned around and saw Aedion focusing on then. His eyes were hard and black and his body ready to join her to defend his cousin. She huffed and turned her back.

"Naaah. That's my overprotective cousin." She saw the relief in the guys eyes, and chuckled at their demeanor. "Anyway. I saw you staring at me. It was really creepy." She just couldn't stop herself from saying it. It was the truth anyway, so she wasn't that sorry.

Awkward silence for a few seconds.

"I know I have an effect on most guys, but never that much." Celeana smirked at him. And neither men knew what to answer to that. "It's good that we met last night. Otherwise I think I'd have let my cousin punch you, just after I did it myself."

"Uh." He cleared his throat to give himself some consistence, even though he knew he failed at it a while ago. "I'm sorry. I just, yeah sorry". One of his hands was so white from clutching his backpack's strap, and the other was scratching the back of his neck.

She realised he was not going to say more. Her words frozed him, she intimated him and that was not what she wanted. Well, yes it was, but not to that level, most men before replied to her with as much intensity.

"Since you creeped me out a bit, I could at least have your name. I'm Celaena." No answer came to her from him.

"Oh my god ! I'm Dorian and my silent friend here is Chaol. I'd love to say it's nice to meet you, but I'm not sure yet" He presented them with a smirk. And she laughed, not hurt at all by his words.

"Nice to meet you." Chaol finally talked and Celaena found him charming. "What panel were you at ?"

"Oh, I was working moderating a panel." She was glad he was starting a conversation with her. His posture was getting less shy and his eyes were brighter. "My cousin just got out of a panel too, Call of Something. We're on our way to go eat with my friends."

"Oh nice. We were at the same panel as your cousin I guess, it was Call of Duty." Said Chaol, trying to get his voice steadier. He still couldn't believe she came to talk to him. Though, she totally busted him with politeness. Weird. Was today a lucky day for him ? He hoped for it to never end then.

"Well, maybe we'll see each other again. Who knows." She smiled widely at him. Fingercrossing her fingers behind her back. She wanted to see him again, and not have a thousand eyes on her back observing this conversation as if it was a tv show.

"Yeah. Maybe. I wouldn't mind. Have fun." Chaol replied to her and hoped too for their paths to cross again.

Behind him Dorian started laughing the second Celaena was with her friends again. His best friend was not a flirter like him, but he never thought it reached that level of mediocrity.

"If this is how you are with every girl you have a crush on, I wonder how you got the chance to lose your V-card. That was priceless Chaol." His laughter doubled and it was an horrifying sound to Chaol.

"Shut up !" Groaned Chaol.

"You must have made an effect on her too. She turned back at least four times walking back to her friends."

And that is a thought that worked up his mind for the rest of the day. As much as the tattoos he saw a little bit closer on her arms.

•

In the afternoon. The whole gang attended the Teen Wolf panel much to Aedion and Manon's demise.

At that time Chaol and Dorian went to another video game panel. After that Chaol looked at some schedule time to see if there were any changes or cancellation. His finger was working its way down and a picture of a blonde girl flashed to him. Celaena.

Booktube Meet Up

Celaena aka QueenOfBooks with Lysandra aka LysAndBooks and Elide aka TinyElide, ready to meet you and talk about your favourites books.

She had her own panel. He was amazed. He certainly didnt know anything about booktube, but the fact that she got to make it work at Comic-Con was fantastic. Even he hasn't had the chance to have this kind of opportunity.

At this moment he knew he would check out her youtube channel, and maybe even drag Dorian to her meet up the next day.

I hope this pleased you enough :). Again English is not my mother tongue, so sorry for any mistakes. I'm trying my best when I'm editing.

What do you think of the characters so far ? What do you think will happen next ?
