As the days pass, we all grow impatient at how long it takes a maniacal alien to make his revenge.
Also, we manage to work on our reflexes even more as it goes on an every other day training schedule for our mental training. Also I keep working on my new attack and I still have to work on it as it barely works in the real world.
After a week passes, I finally get very impatient and then that morning Monger notices me and enters the main room to ask, What is the matter Paulankey?
I reply to him, It s been a week and I have gotten impatient, is there anything we can do for fun? I know let s vote on an idea!
Susan chimes in, Paul, that s a great idea!
Dr. Cockroach says, I concur, we haven t had a fun trip since camp.
Link adds in, I say we go to the beach!
Bob says, I know, let s go to camp!
Bob, I say to him, We already did that.
Susan suggests, Let s go to Modesto and visit my family!
Dr. Cockroach suggests, Let s go to London and see Big Ben!
I suggest, Hey, how about we go to Anime Boston 2009!
Everyone stares at me and then Link stifles a laugh and says, What?
I reply, Well, once a year in Boston, there is a convention of fans of cartoons, anime, comics, movies and manga. I realized recently, that it is in 2 days.
Monger adds in, Boston, eh? He paces a little bit and then says, Well, it is a little tight packed, bit if you all want to go, I can send in men to make there be adjustments for everyone. Well except for Insecto because 350 feet is a little too much but we could make 50 feet possible.
I also add in, Also everyone can go as a character that they like and there are competitions for everything! I was planning to go before I came to the facility and so I could have Monger send someone to pick up my costume from my home, but only if all you guys wanna go.
Dr. Cockroach asks, Is there technology stands there? I nod yes and he says, Count me in!
Susan asks, Is there a lot of things to do? I nod yes and she says, I m in!
Link asks, So, are there gonna be any chicks there? I nod yes and he says, Alright I m going.
Bob asks, Is there going to be food? I nod yes and he says, I m in!
Monger says, Well I guess its unanimous and I realized what we can do for Insecto. I see to it immediately that everything will be all set. We shall leave at 800 sharp in two days because of air traffic. He leaves and everyone eyes me and are wondering what is going to happen for this to work.
Well, I start, You can go in a character you are a fan of also known as a cosplayer or you can go and just see everything and sill be able to do everything.
Susan asks the obvious, Paul, who can I go as I mean what character is huge in a comic, manga or cartoon?
I think for a second and then I realize the perfect costume!
Susan, I tell her, There are only two choices for you to go in costume as You can go as Alice in Wonderland after eating the big side of the mushroom but that will take a lot of complex fabric and the other option is a little less complex.
Susan asks me, What is it Paul?
I respond, Well you remember those B-Monster movies from the 50 s and 60 s?
Yeah, Susan replies, But how does that involve this situation?
Well there are a few options for you all. I tell them, Susan, you could go as the woman from Attack of the 50 foot Woman . All you would need is a large white sheet for the costume.
Susan tells me, Paul, that s a great idea!
I then say to Dr. Cockroach, Dr. Cockroach, you could go as the man from, The Fly . The only thing you would have to do is make a pair of artificial fly-wings and that s easy for you right?
Dr. Cockroach replies, All I would need is some windup toy cars, a spool of thread, a pi ata, a bobby pin and a paperclip! Muahahahahahahahahahaha!
I turn to Link and say, Link, you could go as The Creature from the Black Lagoon. All that you would need is some swamp kelp and some red-eye contacts.
Link responds to me by saying, Yeah! That creature scores some chicks!
I turn to Bob and tell him, Bob, do you wanna be the most popular guy in the convention?
Yes! Yes I do! Bob replies.
Well, I tell him, You can go as The Blob . All you have to do is eat some reddish dye food coloring and then you will obtain the color of the Blob!
Oooh! Bob exclaims, A color change! That is almost as good as a spying montage!
I turn to Insecto and Link, Hey Link, can you translate what Insecto says to me?
Link walks over to me and says, Sure Paul.
I then talk to Insecto, Insecto, I have some ideas for you. You could go as a robot from the Gundam series. All you would need is a lot of metal-like armor.
SCREEEE! Insecto roars and Link translates into, Ok, but what are the other options?
Well, I start up, You also could go as someone from the Godzilla series like Mothra but a lot of makeup would be used.
SCREEE, Insecto grunts at me and Link translates into, Anything else?
Only one, I say to her, You could go as a Transformer in robot mode! That also requires a lot of metal. You could go as Unicron, Bulkhead or Omega Supreme.
SCREEE GRUNT SNORT! Insecto says to Link and he translates into, Well Paul, I would like the idea of Mothra but what if I went as myself?
Wait what? I reply to her.
SCREEE SNORT SCREEEE GRUNT, She says and Link tells me she says, I could go and be the character that was supposed to be fighting against Godzilla but I couldn t because of the fact I didn t agree with my script.
Insecto, I say to her, That s BRILLIANT!
SCREE, She says and Link says, She said, Thank you .
Well you re welcome Insecto! I reply to her.
Susan asks me, So Paul, who are you going as?
Well Susan, I start to tell her, I have decided I am going as one of my favorite cartoons! The show is one you probably haven t heard of. It s name is; Bobobo-bobo-bobo.
This time Dr. Cockroach stifles a laugh and says, What?
I reply to him, Well, this anime is about a cartoon character who is defending the world from the hair hunting troop sent by the Bald Empire to destroy everyone s hair and so he uses an attack called, Super Fist of the Nose Hair! To fend off the enemies and he has a golden afro and a cool pair of shades. He protects every one s follicles with his ragtag team and he always is random!
Everyone is still confused and so I decide to lend them the volumes of the manga so they can understand they read them for a short while and soon, they understand.
About now, it is lunchtime, so we all eat while talking about the trip we will be making.
Then, we all go and start to work on our costumes in different areas of the main room, Monger has my costume brought in because he had sent men out to get it right after breakfast and it came in right after lunch and I start to work on it further. Also he brings in what each monster needs in order to get ready properly.
There were a few tatters I had to fix up and then I worked on the afro for me to wear and soon I had my costume all set up! The blue shirt is all set and I even have the black jacket from the second season to wear.
I decide to walk over to where Dr. Cockroach is and see how he is doing.
Well, he starts up, I have to get the polarity of the blue wire to be reversed in concordance to the red one but also in inverse ness to the green wire.
I ask him, What?
Dr. Cockroach replies, I need to put the blue wire in the other direction in similarity to the red wire but oppositely to the green one.
Oh now I get it, I reply.
I go over to Link and see that Monger sent in some swamp kelp and some red contacts and now Link was working on putting it all together in front of a mirror until the kelp to red-eye ratio was perfect.
I say, Hey Link, what were you going to do if Monger didn t send in those contacts?
Link replies, Well Paul, I would go and get some chlorine and some eye-painkiller and use the chlorine in my eyes to give me that reddish tint.
Ow, I say in agreement, Well then you re lucky!
Now I walk over to where Susan is and she was given an enormous spool of chicken wire! Now of course, she was wrapping the white sheet from a very durable brand of circus tent fabric around the giant spool as a model-dummy and now she was working on sewing it with industrial reinforced steel cables.
Wow Susan, I say to her, That is looking great!
Thanks Paul, Susan says to me and then she smiles and I blush again and this time she notices and giggles.
I ask her to change the subject, So uh Susan, do you think Monger will let us stay at Anime Boston and be there for the whole three days?
Susan says to me, I don t know Paul. You can never tell with him. I mean he did let us stay at Camp for the first week of camp after defeating O-scary. Maybe he will, maybe he won t. I hope so.
Susan leaves as she is finished with her costume and goes up to her room to try it on and then Dr. Cockroach, Link, and Bob also leave to put on their costumes and I go and change as well.
Afterwards, I get back down, I happen to be first and I go and sit on top of Insecto to see the view.
I hear Dr. Cockroach s door start to open and then I see him with a pair of wings like a fly! He starts up the nearly silent motor and starts buzzing around the air and suddenly, he lands on Insecto s head and sits next to me and I notice he put on a fake pair of fly hands.
Dr. Cockroach says to me, Well, what do you think?
Dr. Cockroach, I say to him, You look amazing!
Now Link s door opens and then I see what looks like Link only he has swamp kelp on himself and the red contacts have that creepy glow and I shouted out to him, Great job Link!
Thanks Paul! Link yells back as I am still on Insecto s head.
Now Bob s door opens and we all see Bob only now with a reddish tint to himself and he looks at his hand and yells, Augh! Who messes with my color tone?
Now I have Dr. Cockroach bring me down and I say to Bob, Bob, you did that to get ready for the convention, remember?
Oh yeah, Bob realizes, Thanks Paul!
We all go up to the top of Susan s table to wait for her to emerge but when her door starts to open it stops suddenly and Susan shouts, Now nobody laugh!
We all shout out, Ok Susan. And she has the door continue to open.
Once it opens she walks out and she looks great! She made the fabric look perfectly like the costume from the movie itself but was also conscious of herself and made it long enough down the legs for decency.
Well, Susan says, What do you think?
Everyone starts clapping and Insecto roars in agreement.
Thanks guys, Susan replies to the applause.
Suddenly, everyone realizes my costume and look at me.
My costume is perfect to the space after the T in the word perfect. I still can be identified as myself easily though because of the fabric.
The afro was chiseled from Styrofoam and sprayed yellow to keep it in place. I had boots from home sent in to look right as well. The black pants were just right. The blue shirt is just like it should be with it being short sleeved but collared. I also put on a fake faint moustache for the final facial effect. Lastly, I had gotten those fake skin sleeves for my arms and put on them, the three black line dashes on his arm just like the character in the anime and manga. Plus I also have the Black jacket from season two just in case.
Link stifles another laugh and says, Paul, you look ridiculous but also epic! I can t decide what to say.
Dr. Cockroach says, Yes you used the perfect items to make the costume audjust to your own body, brilliant!
Bob says, Hey! I was going to go as Bobobo!
I reply to him, Bob, you agreed to go as the Blob and so how could you plan to go as Bobobo?
Susan then asks, Hey Paul, how long did you make this costume back at your home?
Umm, I say while trying to remember, I started working on it after I had found out I missed the 2008 Anime Boston so it would be about 6 months.
Wow, Susan says in awe, That s incredible!
Thanks Susan, I reply to her.
Out of nowhere Monger walks in and we all look at him in awe. He had put on an old Star Trek Captain Kirk costume!
Well Monsters, He says confidently, How do I look?
We all start laughing but then we all tell him he looks great. He apparently decided to go as well as he was a fan of the original Star Trek show and so he wanted to go. We agree he can go and then he leaves.
Then we all eat dinner and then we all say goodnight and then we all go to bed ready for how in two days, we would be at Anime Boston 2009!
