Stefania & Me

Sette - hopes and dreams

I walked into the other part of the room and joined the short line to meet Jaicy Elliot. When it was my turn I gave her the picture I had printed out. It was a picture of her and Jake heading to set together. She said that she loved that photo. She asked me if I was having a good time and I told her that I really was...because I really really was. She wrote on the photo "dear Ella thanks for coming love Jaicy x" ahhhh.

Next was Jake. My interaction with Jake was my favourite. I gave him the photo I had which was him in pink scrubs with Camilla (Jo) also in pink scrubs taking a selfie. He said he loved the photo and told me how much he loved the pink scrubs and it was from the one episode where he wore pink scrubs and wished he could have worn them more. He asked me if I wanted him to just sign it or make it personalised. In my head having him just sign it would have been easier, and I fawn as an anxiety response so I would have just said signing it would have been fine. But! I wasn't going to get an opportunity like this again and so I asked if he would personalise it and he said yes! He wrote "it was so nice meeting and chatting with you Ella! Lots of love Jake!" It was so nice. I told him I chose that photo of him and Camilla because Camilla was British and he was at his first con in Britain! I then asked him if he was enjoying himself. He told me all about the karaoke the night before which I could have gone to but that was not something I would have enjoyed alone. He asked me if I was having a good time and I told him this was the most I've spoken in weeks, which made him laugh. I told him to have the most amazing day and I skipped back to the room where my mum and sister were.

I explained the entire day to them sparing no details! Then I had a nap because that was a lot of socialising!  After a good half an hour I got myself together and we headed to the hotel bar to grab some dinner. After dinner went back to the room and I got into bed and looked at the photos from that day. The photos with Stefania were live and they were my favourite thing. I could hear her laugh and I saw the smile on my face. Those photos went straight into my favourites folder. They were my favourite thing ever. I was still riding the high from the day so sleep didn't come easy, I don't think I actually fell asleep until half three in the morning!

When I woke up it was the final day of the con. I was sad it was Coming to an end as I had been looking forward to it for weeks, but I was ready to get back to my own room and my own bed! When I got up I got dressed into a nice black top and my leggings as I had to get the train later that day. After I finished getting ready I packed my things up that I didn't need and we all headed down the breakfast. Whilst we were eating Danielle and Stefania were outside taking photos with a replica of a fire captain car from the show which was so cool, and from where we were sitting at breakfast I could see a glimpse of the car and it looked really cool. I was on insta while my sister finished her meal and I saw a picture of Danielle and Stefanias outfits for the day and Danielle was wearing the same dress she wore to the Station 19 cast party, and Stefania was wearing the same jacket she wore in Tokyo and her iconic little braids at the side of her head!

I packed the rest of my stuff up from the hotel room and my mum and sister went on their final journey to central London and I headed down to watch the Greys Panel. It was lovely as always and I had an amazing time. 15 minutes after the panel it was the Marina panel, so I just stayed in my seat the entire time! As Stefania and Danielle were waiting for the panel to start they were dancing which I thought was so cute, you've probably seen the video online! The panel was amazing and super funny! My favourite part was when Stefania said she was open available and willing to come back to greys if given the opportunity and when I tell you my delusional, hyper fixated mind went crazy, it went crazy!

Soon the panel ended and that was that, I had to call it a day and head for our train. I went to meet my mum and sister in the lobby of the hotel and I was ready to give my letters to the people at the gift table for Danielle and Stefania. I would have done it earlier but the last time I went in that room I had a meltdown so wanted my sister with me, when we went into the room it had all been packed up and I was gutted, absolutely gutted. But never fear because my mum was here! She suggested finding one of the staff members and giving my letters to them and that's what I did.

I went and found one of the members of staff and asked if they knew where the gift table was, their response was "I am the gift table!" And they took my letters and made me laugh in the process. I am so glad that I went and found someone because if I didn't get to give them my letters it would have brought down the whole weekend. I have no idea if Danielle and Stefania actually got the letters or read them but one can hope and one can dream and that's what I am doing. I know Danielle keeps all letters from fans and I know Stefania has opened some gifts from the cons so I'm just like I said hoping and dreaming.
