The Fan (Fillie) //COMPLETED//

Comic-Con Klutz

As we walked to my room to get my mom, I said once again, " Thanks again for helping me back there."

"Hey, that what's friends are for right?" But I don't feel like it was for a friend.

I started to stare at him again. He was wearing a classic Dustin trucker hat, a T-shirt that said 'Straight From The 80's' , a pair of black sweatpants and a black bomber jacket. "You better get a coat because I'm not gonna give you one again." he warns, snapping me out of my thoughts.

I go in my room and see my mom was ready to go. I grabbed my denim jacket from my closet and walked outside before my mom locked the door.

We walked out the building together and decided to walk to the convention because it was about 3 blocks away. It was about 10:47 and I realized I haven't ate yet. We went to a nearby food truck and got some food.

We finally got there and my breath was taken away. It was situated at Madison Square Park in a big building. Outside, there was hundreds of people, many with costumes. The building was decorated for Comic-Con, the logo pasted everywhere, events being shown on big screens, schedules for panels. We went to get badges at the counter. (I don't know how it works. I'm just guessing) My mom showed the free tickets to badges from the contest. The worker nodded and handed us three red badges.

We went inside the lobby and heard an announcement.

The panel for Stranger Things will begin in 30 minutes. Please proceed to room #14 to watch. Patrons will be able to ask questions to the cast. Thank you.

"Well, that was convenient." Izzat said.

"Well, you kids go alone if you want. I'm not really interested in that show. Don't worry. I'll find something else to do." my mom informed us. She left quickly.

" So you want to ask them a question? I will try to get a spot." Izzat said.

"Uh, no. I think I'm too shy and I don't have a question."

"Well, my bucket list is to make the cast and creators of ST to laugh with a question." he  says confidently.

"And how are you going to do that?"

"No spoilers." he says with a grin.

We made our way into the room with the panel with 20 minutes to spare. There was a kind of raffle thing where you get a random number for the questions. Izzat got a number and mumbled something under his breath, like a prayer, before looking at the slip.

#6

"YES!" he exclaims a little too loudly. There was enough time for him to ask his question. "It better be good." I mumble. "Oh, it will be."

We went to take our seats in the big auditorium with hundreds of seats. Soon people started filling until it was almost full. There was music blaring from some speakers around the stage. I was excited but I wasn't that excited to see Finn Wolfhard. Millie! What are you thinking? You liked him for a long time! But what about Izzat? He probably doesn't like me! How about with Fin-

"Hello everybody and welcome to the Stranger Things 2017 Comic-Con!" my mental conversation getting get off by the announcers voice. There was a round of applause and a lot of crazy fans were screaming to the top of their lungs. Ugh, why do they have to scream? To show appreciation? It's not helping anything, especially their voices. Izzat was obviously annoyed since one person was right next to him, screaming as loud as she could. " Excuse me, can you please quiet down? I want to watch without rupturing my eardrums."he says in the most monotone voice I ever heard. I try not to laugh at the fan's reaction on what he said. Her face full of shock, she sat down with her arms crossed, looking at the other direction.

"That was awesome!"I give him a high five.

"Now let's introduce the cast! Let's start off with.... the Duffer Brothers!" the announcer called. A lot of people screamed, making Izzat wince, while he was clapping lightly. "The star of the show, Eleven also known as, Emmy Gravelly!" she walked out with a shimmering, white, sleeveless dress. Her hair was blocking one side of her face but I could see she had a look of disgust as if there was a better place she could be. She looked absolutely bitchy.

"Wow. What a bitch. Did you see her face?" Izzat said the exact same thing I was thinking.

"That's what I was just thinking about! You know me to well."

"Next up, we have Mike Wheeler also known as Finn Wolfhard!" This one was especially loud. I looked at him and remembered why I admire him. He was strutting to his chair with confidence. His hair was all over the place. He was wearing his classic green bomber jacket with a pair of jeans. He went to the seat next to Emmy and instantly she whispered something in his ear. He frowned at her, and turned to the audience.

The announcer called the rest of the cast one by one. Then it started they went into a conversation about season 2 and about the behind the scenes. There was jokes here and there. I noticed that Emmy kept trying to get Finn's attention and not really listening to the panel. Before I knew it, it was time for the questions. When they were getting people in order, I whispered to Izzat, "Good Luck." "I don't need it."

A lot of people ask the same questions in other interviews and it gets boring listening to them. "What was the hardest scene?" "Do you actually like Eggos?" "How was the kiss?" It was annoying as fuck.

Finally it was Izzat's turn. He cleared his throat and asked, "Charlie, Natalia... so, how was the pull-out?"

The room exploded with laughter. The cast, even the Duffer Brothers, were laughing there asses off.There was one person not laughing. Emmy. She just looked at him annoyed as if he was roach on her arm. Once the laughter died down. Matt Duffer asked, "So what's your real question?"

"Who came up with that line?" Izzat asked

Joe Keery slowly raised his hand shyly. More laughter.

"The Duffers," Izzat said seriously," I want you to go to him, and promote him for coming up with the best line ever written in history." The room exploded even louder than before.

"Thank you." He made his way back to me. " Told ya."

"Actually, you didn't make the whole cast laugh."I said motioning to the actress that was glaring at him.

Sadly, the panel ended after a few question later. Then they announced that there will be a booth to meet the 4 kid cast members out side. People started getting up and I went to the aisle to get taken by a wave of crazy fans. I got carried away from Izzat and through the doors, heading to a booth. The cast was already there, waiting, security guards everywhere. I was still getting carried when I saw Finn Wolfhard. He looked at me and we made eye contact before I got trampled to the ground. People were still stomping on me, not one person helping me, when I heard a forceful, "STOP!" I was still laying on the floor when I noticed people were making a circle around me. "Are you okay?" I look up to see Finn Wolfhard, on his knee, looking down at me.

That's when I passed out.
