You don't have to read this, you can go on with the next chapter. But I suggest watching that video to see the real events. The video is above this! Look up!

Everything from now until the end of this book is made up. I just want to point out a couple of changes I had to make in this first six chapters:

One: Obviously, my name is not Stacy. It was my cousin who actually came with me, and her name is not Kimberly. The convention was actually D23 Expo in Anaheim, we went on the first day it opened. And it was during August, not May. There were amazing Disney cosplays. And yes, and we waited in that line for hours.

Two: There was no photo booth with a demonic clown. We did not see 3 Shades of Blue, even though I REALLY want to see them live. They're a great band. Sadly, there wasn't a booth where you could win a trip with Before You Exit. And of course, there was no try-hard twelve-year olds. And yes, Riley did peek out of that room, but all of the girls saw him.

Three: I did see Markiplier! The meetup was pretty accurate, they DID remember me from the last time I met them (August 2014 at Brea Mall) and because my cousin DOES have connections with Connor. My cousin did mention the Pitbull/Zayn Malik did, it was random. I didn't challenge Toby with the whole airplane thing. He actually threw it into my bag accidentally, but he let me keep it. The picture of the airplane is in my vlog above.
