Anaheim, California, USA

7 a.m.

Sitting on his bed at the room he shared with Dean, Tim breathed heavily, preparing himself for what was coming. Honestly, he didn't even know if there was something to worry about but he couldn't help it. He was nervous, way too nervous. What if I screw things up? Everyone's got a part on this, one bad move and the entire operation will be wasted. He wondered how the others were doing. He reached for his glasses. Tim liked wearing glasses, people thought he looked cool with them and he thought he looked even more like spiderman. He had been homesick this entire last week. He missed Sammy, Pappy, Jack, Ciaran and all his friends as well as Becca. Oh Becca. They were not a couple, sure but Tim liked her so much. He hadn't even told her yet.

He got up and walked out of the room carrying his laptop. Tim knocked at the door of the room next to his. A blonde girl wearing a "Winter is Coming" t-shirt, shorts and converse opened.

"You ready?" He asked.

Long silence in which they both took a deep breath. The girl, took a phone from her pocket, pressed a button and spoke:

"It's Lucy, we're coming, meet you all at the staff room" she hung up and yelled inside the room "Clary, Tim is here"

Another teenager came, a short girl with short curly brown hair with sunglasses and a file in her hands.

"We can go now" She said.

They walked quietly. It was way too early to cross other guests of the hotel which was extremely lucky considering how full it was at the moment. The first Vidcon after the Charlie incident was about to take place at the Anaheim Convention Centre and there were big suspects that Charlie was going to try to take the community down again. How? They didn't know but they were there to find out and stop him and they had less than 24 hours to do so.

They entered a small dark staff room and closed the door behind them. Tim got a key out of his pocket and moved some stuff that was against the wall to find another door and open it. They got to a meeting room, almost exactly like the one at the London Station. It was already full of people, including the ones that they hadn't met yet, for instance, Anthony Padilla, the director of the USA YSS, Ian, Luke Conard, Shane Dawson, Christian Novelli, Hank Green, Jenna Marbles, WheezyWaiter, Dean, Cherry and Luke.

"Right" Anthony said "what's the plan, Souths?"

Clary and Lucy looked at each other. Then Clary spoke "We are going to cover all areas of the Convention Centre with cameras and spies. I've contacted a couple of small youtubers and third class agents and there's gonna cover that up."

"In the meantime you, first class agents, will carry on with your meet ups, shows and interviews as usual but you're going to keep an eye on the audience at all time"

"Tim and Dean have installed the cameras earlier this morning and they'll be watching from the car that is outside the building and warn us if Charlie appears or anything strange happens"

"Alright" Christian said "and when are we meeting this third classes?"

Lucy typed something into her phone. Someone knocked at the door.

"It's okay, let them in"

A group of 7 teenagers entered the room without showing surprise which was weird, but still…they were professionals.

Luke introduced them all "Everyone, these are Janice, May, Rae, Jamie, Oliver, Ben and Gus".

Now you could tell they were nervous but not about the mission, about getting the youtuber's approval. Anyway, no one said a word.

"So I guess we'll start off, we've got a long day, team. Keep in mind that this is day could mean either Charlie's capture or the end of youtube as we know it. Again. Stay alert and contact the others if anything happens. Remember, Charlie will try to keep the community scared, and we have to show him that we're not letting that happen!" Emma sounded like such a good commander, Clary thought of telling Phil about her when they got back.

Ian stood up "So you will all have a companion and an assigned spot. Luke and Lucy, you get the main door, which is probably the most important because it's the only door through which people have access to the building so watch out, you can go now".

"Good luck" Clary whispered as Lucy walker by her with Luke right behind her. Honestly, she was expecting to get Clary, seen that they were already a team and she didn't want to be alone with Luke of hours. In the other hand, Luke was quite nervous. He thought of what Dan had said at the airport before they left and repeated his words non-stop in his head. Maybe he was right, maybe this was the time to make a move.

They didn't talk until they got to the spot. They sat next to a plant outside the building, like they were waiting for the convention to start. Hours passed and excited girls and boys started to arrive with t-shirts and posters ready to be signed. Luke and Lucy both envied how happy and innocent everyone was. They didn't think of what was coming.

Lots of people gathered at the door as well to enjoy the sun and stuff. I got a bit hard to keep an eye on everyone so the agents moved a bit. Time seemed to pass so slowly.

"So…what's up?" Luke finally dared to ask.

"What do you think, dumbass?"

"OKAY, listen, you don't have to be mad at me all the time, alright? We can still be friends"

"I don't want a friendship with you."

"Why not, Lucy?"

"Well, you know why! We already talked about this!"

Lucy was mad at him but also anxious and tried to look away from him. In the meantime she looked around.

A long silence.

In the end, Lucy exploded "Don't you even care about this mission? Why don't you analyze the field?!"

"Analyze the field?!" Luke responded with a funny voice "We gotta watch in case Charlie crosses that door, it's not like nobody would notice him and scream! Just admit you like me and I'll shut up for the rest of the day"

"Godammit, Luke! You're an imbecile, do you really believe that I will fall for that? Who the fuck do you think you are?"

But Lucy couldn't keep on talking. Because Luke had moved too fast and pressed his lips over hers. Lucy tried to resist but she couldn't so she just followed his moves. And kissed him back. He smells nice. She though. Luke put one hand on Lucy's waist and ran his fingers through her dirty blond hair with the other. They were finally lying on the grass and the kiss turned into making out.

They broke apart and looked at each other, trying to catch their breaths. Their hairs were messy and they couldn't speak a word.

Until Lucy's phone ringed. She smiled, still looking at Luke and answered without even checking the number.

"Hello?"

"Hello Lucy" The voice said and Lucy froze. Her smile had faded off her face and her expression showed true panic.

"What's wrong?" Luke asked with concern.

"Yeah, Lucy, what's wrong?" the caller repeated and chuckled.

"Charlie" She said.

The world stopped for Luke and Lucy and both of them focused on the phone.

"Hey guys, how's life treating you? Well, what do you think of America, Lucy? Isn't it nice?"

"What are you doing, Charlie"

"Meh, not much, why? I just woke up this morning and though hey, I hate vidcon, let's ruin it, and so here I am!" He sounded so pleased it was creepy.

"Where are you?!" Luke asked.

"Oh, Luke! We've met before! Remember? Well, if you care to know, look up, kiddo"

The agents were frightened to do so but they didn't have a choice.

"So? Do you see me?"

There he was. In the rooftop. Looking straight at them, there was Charlie wearing a Captain Hammer shirt and jeans, his hair a bit longer than usual and a crooked smile that could mean no good.

When they saw him, they stood up.

"Oh God, how did he even get there?" Luke whispered but apparently his words were still heard.

"Easy, I just politely walked thought the door while you were…busy"

Shit. Lucy thought "It's all our fault, I told you!" she punched Luke and continued, trying to stay calm "get the rest of the team, go!"

She looked up again as Luke ran. Now there was just Charlie and her.

"So what's the plan…Charlie? What are you gonna do?" Shaky hands held the phone.

"ha, you know what? I don't know. I don't have a plan. But oh I know there's people out there. People with plans for youtube. You don't even know…what they can do… "

"But-but you can tell me! What do they do?"

"It doesn't matter now, does it? I'm the situation now, Lucy."

"But you said you didn't have a plan"

Someone must have seen Charlie in the roof because lots of people started screaming and gathering around the entrance, some of them were crying, some of them were filming or taking photos. This is not good, Lucy thought, just a few more minutes until the others get here.

"Hmm, no I don't. Let's see, what if we do this like it was one of my videos! Like a film! Would you like that Lucy? A film"

"Okay, sure, what kind of film?" Keep calm, just one more second.

"Don't even try that." He suddenly said. It sounded like he was talking to someone else.

"What?"

"Nothing! Hmm… See, Lucy the thing is, this isn't a comedy, this is a horror film. Where people live. And people die."

What the heck, this is not good. Even if Lucy knew what he wanted she refused to believe it.

"No. Charlie, listen to me. What you're about to do is wrong, stop it right now, we can help you. CHARLIE."

"Ha, no, Lucy, no one can" He was still smiling, like a mad man although there was a certain sadness in his eyes.

One step. One step and Charlie would be gone.

"LUCY" Luke yelled from the distance running to her with the rest of the YSS. She didn't notice, tears were running down her face. She dropped the phone and screamed:

"CHARLIE. STOP THIS. DON'T DO IT, PLEASE, I'M BEGGING YOU"

She saw Charlie's lips muttering two words right before she blacked out.

Bye Lucy.

END OF SEASON 1.
