Chapter 6
VidCon
I don't own anything except Anita
Today was finally the day. I had been waiting for this weekend since Toby had told me about it. It was finally the day we were going to VidCon. It was going to be an awesome weekend because I was going to get a chance to meet some of the Audience. I was also going to wear my "Antbuscus" shirt both days so that people could recognize me. I really kind of hoped that Hazel would be there to see her creation on me. "Okay guys I'm gonna do some work in the room so you guys can go walk around." I nod eagerly at that. I wanted to see all of the people here. When I enter the building I was very surprised at how many people there where. Olga and I walked around for a bit and then that was when I got recognized. "There she is" I heard a group of kids shout and they ran over to me "Ant will you sign her shirt" one kid asked pointing to the only girl in there group. I tilted my head a little but then smiles "Sure" they hand me a pen and the girl's shirt and I sign it with the word "Antbuscus" then when I finish they run off very excited. I turn back around Olga had watched the whole thing "You just signed your first autograph." she says with a smile. I smile too "Yeah I guess I did." About fifteen minutes later we get a text from Toby saying he was done and he would meet us at the food court. So we walk there and wait for him. He was a little late but that was okay because we assumed he most likely got stopped by some fans. We ordered our lunch and ate in peace. After lunch Toby had an Annoying Orange panel so Olga and I were going to go watch him. It was kind of entertaining but I was more excited for his performance later. A lot of other YouTubers would be performing. "Ant" Toby says to me as we walk to his panel "I have been meaning to ask you something. Would you like to perform on stage with me later today? You don't have to give me an answer right now." I thought about the question. I thought about it through the whole panel. The truth was I really wanted to but I was worried that I would mess up. After the panel Toby has some free time to walk around so as we walk I say to him "Yes. I want to do it" all he does is nod. "Remember if you get scared I will be right there beside you." I give a nod and a smile. What he said made me feel better. So when it was time for his performance Toby and I went back stage while Olga went to go watch. As we waited for Toby's time I was getting nervous and Toby talked to some friends. He walked back to where I sat with one friend behind him "Ant I would like you to meet someone" the person who was behind Toby comes in front of him. I recognized him. "I know you" I say "You're Jack from Jacks Films. Right? He nods "Yep" I smile I was starting to not feel as nervous. Talking always made me feel better. So Jack walks away and Toby sits beside me it wasn't too much longer until his performance. When it did come I felt a lot more nervous. "You ready Ant?" Toby asks as he stands and I nod even though I felt like I might throw up. "Alright just remember I will be right there beside you." I give another nod and grab his hand as we walk out on stage. The first thing I notice is how bright it is. The second thing I notice is how many people there are. The third thing I notice is how they are all cheering. I didn't feel as nervous anymore so I wave to them. Toby goes to pick up a guitar. He strums it a few times to tune it. "Alright" he says to the cheering people "First things first I would like to introduce you to my little helper here." He walks over to me "This is Ant and she will be helping me on a song later in the show" Lots of cheers "So let's start. I gonna start with a song I wrote when I was 14 years old." He starts playing his theme song. After a few more guitar songs he walks over to the piano. I walk over to him. "Ant would you mind playing the piano for this song" he then leans down and whispers the song to play. "Sure" I say and start to play the opening for the sideburn song. Toby sings the song while I play. After he finishes he leans down and asks "Ant would you like to play your song?" I give a small nod and Toby stands again "Okay I gonna play a new song for you. Ant go ahead." Toby says readjusting the microphone on the piano. I nod and play my song. "Should I sing it?" I ask Toby still playing my tune. He nods and I get ready "Been waiting for so long that I need a brand new song to sing. Lived here all my life and now I see. I never quite known was never quite there but always had a though, had a dream that you would always be there. You protect me when I sleep and will always care for me. I guess you can truly see how much you mean to me." I pause "How much you mean to me." I finish and then the Audience cheers. Toby nods with satisfaction. "Great job Ant!" He says giving me a hug. He then ends his performance with another song but I didn't really listen because I was still caught up if the fact that I just sung for so many people. Toby and I walk of stage and meet Olga when she saw me she gave me a huge hug "You did great Ant" she says and I smile "Yeah I guess I did" The rest of the weekend was full of kids wanting Toby's and I's autograph. I didn't mind much and neither did Toby we just wanted to make our Audience happy and that was what we were doing. The trip home was full of resting for both Toby and I even though we would get a few weeks rest when we got home we were still pooped from VidCon. When we walk into the house Gryphon greets us with licks and tail wagging. Toby's mom had watched him but I still felt the need to give him a treat for being such a good boy. The next day while Toby and I were sitting on the couch Toby says "So are you ready for school?" I shake my head. I wasn't really ready for it. I couldn't believe that school was in only two weeks. It seemed like just yesterday that I found out Toby was my godfather and now I was going to go to school. "No" I say "I'm not ready for school. I want it to be summer all the time" Toby smiles "All good things must come to an end little Ant." He gives a sigh "I know how you fell though." I give a small sigh no matter how much I was going to dread school I was also excited for it.
Sorry about the late chapter I was very busy and had some writers block.
