Thirty Three: My first convention Part 1

1/1/21

Dear Diary,
Happy New Year!
I don't have any New Years resolution. If I had to choose one, maybe it would be to get out there and make more friends. Although, I'm kinda scared to make friends now, especially with how it's been in the past.
Although, I am making great friends with Dana. He's invited me over to his house a few times, but unfortunately I couldn't go. Next time he invites me though, hopefully I can finally say yes!

The next month, my Dads both grew excited. I immediately knew why.

"Did you guys get invited to a convention?" I asked.
"Not only that." Daddy M said. "We're taking you with us!"

My eyes widened and I smiled.

"Really?" I asked.
"Well, your birthdays during the time we go, so we thought it would be one of your birthday presents!" Daddy S added.
"That can be my only birthday gift, I don't care!" I smiled. I then ran over and gave them a big hug. "Thank you guys so much!"
"You're very welcome." Both of my Dads said.

Dear Diary,

I'm going to a convention with my Dads in less than a month! It's going to be one of my birthday presents! I'm both excited and kind of nervous at the same time! I'm excited because I get to finally get out and do things that my Dads do. I'm also nervous because I don't know if I'll like flying in a plane, and I'm kind of scared to meet my Dads fans. What if they somehow don't like me? Or what if they're too clingy?
I guess I'll have to wait a month to see what happens, but I am definitely counting down the days!

That next month in March, my Dads and I began packing for our trip. Even though the convention was for the weekend, my Dads wanted to stay a few extra days just to get out and do things with me. Even though I told them a dozen times that I would be fine just with the convention, they assured me that I needed to go out and see other things too.

Dear Diary,

Early tomorrow morning I leave for Boston for a convention. I won't be back until next Wednesday! I'll be explaining everything that happened in my diary when I get home!

My Dads woke me up at 3am the next morning, I was still half asleep. Despite the fact that I could get up on my own, Daddy M still picked me up and put me on his shoulder. Even though I was 10 years old (about to be 11), he still liked to carry me on his shoulder, especially since I might be too big for him. I guess that's why I still get called "baby girl "

After eating a small amount of breakfast, my Dads packed everything in the car and we headed over to the airport.

That's when I began waking up, that's when I began realizing that I would be going to the other side of the country and seeing my Dads do what they love most, playing some games and meeting fans.

As we pulled up to the airport, somebody from the airport went and got our stuff from the car and took our car into the garage, where it would stay for the next week. Then afterwards, we suffered the long wait of having to go through the check in and security.

It didn't take long for either luckily. The lines weren't long for the check in and security, we somehow got lucky.

After going through the security checkpoint, we decided to stop at a small cafe and get something to eat before our 6 hour flight.

"You excited for this, Em?" Daddy M asked. I nodded as I was eating.
"You'll love it, it's going to be so much fun!" Daddy S assured me.
"What will your fans be like?" I asked. "Will they like me?"
"They'll love you, Em!" Daddy M assured. "Some of them might want to take pictures with you. But I don't think I'll allow them to do that."
"I'll do it!" I told them. "I think it'd be cool!"
"Okay." Daddy S said. "But if you begin not liking it, let us know okay?"

I nodded.

After getting done with breakfast, we headed over to our terminal. As we sat down, I noticed the plane we were going to board right in front of us. It was pretty small.

As I looked out onto the runway, I watched as planes were taking off. They were going really fast and really high. It got my heart racing, but in a good way.

"I think I'm going to like the takeoff!" I smiled.
"Really?" Daddy S asked. "Because I won't."
"That's because Daddy S isn't daring like me!" Daddy M whispered to me.
"Shut up!" Daddy S exclaimed.
"What? I didn't say anything." Daddy M claimed.
"You said I wasn't daring like you were!" Daddy S said.
"How'd you know?" Daddy M asked.
"I guess since I'm considered the 'mother' of the group, I've developed that eyes behind your back thing and the double hearing thing." Daddy S explained.

I giggled through their argument. Some of their arguments entertain me.

After about a half hour of waiting, we were finally told to board. After getting to our seats and after about fifteen minutes of waiting, the plane finally started. I watched out the window as we were pulling out from the airport and headed towards the runway.

I noticed Daddy M handing me gum.

"What's this for?" I asked.
"When we take off." Daddy M said. "Keeps your ears from hurting."
"Why?" I asked.
"Because as we get higher in the air, our ears may get this pain sensation, which is why people chew gum to keep it from happening."

I nodded and popped the chewing gum in my mouth.

Just then, the plane stopped and I could hear the engine revving.

"Get ready for the fun part!" Daddy M told me.

Just then, the plane started zooming down the run way. My heart got that adrenaline feeling again. I couldn't help but smile, it was so cool.

Just then, the plane began to take off. As I chewed the gum, my ears began to pop. It felt really weird, but at least my ears weren't hurting.

I then looked out the window, noticing LA getting smaller and smaller before finally being out of sight.

We were now on our way to Boston.

AUTHOR'S NOTE!
Sorry for changing the subject from the dramatic plot twist! I promise you I will get to that right after the convention part is over! The convention may have three or four parts, I still don't know! We'll see when it happens I guess lol.

I just have a question for you guys

How do you guys feel on planes?

For me, I love being on planes. I love the feeling of taking off, especially when I'm taking off to go somewhere away from home! I just love the feeling of zooming off into the air. Not a huge fan of landing though lol.

Comment your answer below!

More to come!
