Now on to my second fanfic of Braceface!

--

That morning Sharon learn about the wonderful world of Manga and Anime during there trip with there mother. After meeting her new friend Miriam who was guiding her on her first anime con, but Sharon thought she had stuck out like a sore thumb.

"What is it Sharon? Is something wrong?" asked Miriam

"Well I feel like I stick out like a sore loser, I don't have any costume. If I don't have one I feel like I got "NOOB" writen all over my face" said Sharon as she looked on other cosplayers around her.

"Well, I think I have something for you if you like" said Miriam, she grab Sharon's hand and both of them went into the convention and looking for the ladies room.

Once they found it, they went in and Miriam was looking in her backpack.

"What are you looking for?" ask Sharon, then Miriam pulled out a long red hooded jacket with black pants and a black jacket with white trimmings. AKA Fullmetal Alchemist!

"Aha! Perfect! Okay this costume is from the anime and manga series call Fullmetal Alchemist, your gonna be dress as Edward Elric, and I don't think that you will be needing the blonde wig since you already had blonde hair!" she said with a smile.

Sharon went into one of the stalls to change into her costume, and when she came out she looked like a female Edward. Miriam then helped her with her hair, to make it into a long braid.

"Wow, this looks great! But I should learn more about this character, right?" ask Sharon

"No Prob! Edward is a short 15 year old who has a very short temper when ever someone says "Short" lol, he has a little brother who's soul is stuck in a Armor, and offen get's mistaken for the older brother. They are trying to get there body pieces back, well only Ed and Alphonse is trying to get his body back. Did I mention that Edwards right arm and left leg is all metal?" said Miriam

Sharon blinked a few times and then finally said "I think I get it", then they both laugh.

"Okay I think your ready! Steady! GO!" she said as they both ran out of the ladies room.

Before Sharon could take another step, she was stoped and asked if they could take pictures of her. "Miriam what do I do?" asked Sharon

"Well pose with her hands slap together" said Said, as she step back

"Well here it goes" thought Sharon as she was about to slap her hands together, her braces were acting up because of the lights above her which made it look like flashing light by her hands and people started to take alot of pictues.

"Oh no my braces!?" she thought

"That was kewl!" said a boy, holding a camera

"Hey can you do that again" said another

"Try to get more action poses" said another

"I'll...try" said Sharon, as she tryed to make her braces make the same flash and oddly enough it did. People gather more to take pictures of her.

"Come on Sharon, let's go hit the dealers room" said Miriam as she stole her away from the flashing cameras.

"Did you see that! That was amazing!" said Sharon as she was giggling to herself

"How did you make that flash thingy?" as Miriam

"My braces do weird things such as that" said Sharon

"We should call you Fullmetal Braces" said Miriam with a laugh

"That's a good nickname" laugh Sharon

They finally made it into the dealers room where Miriam was showing her the manga for FMA, which made Sharon buy the first two volumes. While they were in there, more people were asking them if they can take there pictures as Edward and Winry.

"That reminds me, I saw this guy dress as Cloud from...um...I can't remember the name of the show, but he did rescue me in the hallways, and I wonder if I can find him and thank him" said Sharon as she blushed.

"Good luck girl! There are tons of guys dress as Cloud Strife from FFVII here" said Miriam as she was eating pocky.

"Oh...really?" said Sharon as she looked around her and it was true, but she would know his face. But then she thought that it was hopeless.

After seeing a new anime programs, Sharon thought it was time for her to go.

"It's getting late and I should be going" said Sharon as she yawned.

"Yeah, I should call my brother to pick me up." Miriam said as she looked at the time.

"Oh do you want your costume back?" asked Sharon as she was about to take the red coat off.

"Nah, it's okay, you can keep it" said Miriam

"Are you sure, it looks like you spend alot of time on it" she said

"It's easy to make, beside! You look much more better in it then me lol" said Miriam witha smile.

Both of them made there call, and waited by the main door. Sharon had her clothes in her bag with her new mangas. Then there rides came.

"Well I'll see you again okay!" said Sharon, as she was about to get in the van.

"Hey um I have another costume if you like to borrow again" said Miriam.

"Really! Sure, see ya Miriam" said Sharon as she got in. Then they drove off.

"That is a really cute costume you have there Sharon" said her mother as she was admiring the costume that Sharon was wearing.

"Thanks, Miriam said I could have it" Isn't that neat!" said Sharon, as she took out her books and started to read them.

When they came back to the hotel, Sharon realized that she hasn't eaten anything yet! That was before she was being tease by her big brother Adam, but she wasn't paying attention to him.

All she was doing was waiting for the Second day of her first anime convention.
