Melinoë's POV

For a whole week, I recorded and learnt to love some of the games I held no previous respect for. The games were made fun by the people I played with. They had brought me a smile and that seemed to be more than most could do. I woke, as usual, I avoided the time and made cereal for breakfast or an on-time lunch. Coco pops counted as healthy and nutritious, according to me that is.

I sat on my sofa and finally saw my screen. It held the usual notifications and messages that sleep brought me but one was not to be expected. Smii7y usually messaged me but it wasn't about playing a game, at that moment. It was almost time for Pax. Shit.

Are you going to Pax tomorrow? If so I will be there. X

Yeah. You know it all the way from my home in England and to America all for some shitty meet and greet. Don't get me wrong I would love to meet fans but it is the people who are organisers. They act like they think they are better than you and it pisses me off. X

You seem passionate. X

Oh, you know it. X

I am already in America, perhaps we could meet up and I can see your face. X

Or I could sleep and die without another soul being involved. Live alone, die alone. X

Positive.

So fucking positive. X

I call it realism. Now, I need to be off. Flirt with you later. X

You call this flirting? X

I mean, my boss told me I flirt with him but I find him repulsive so I must be a natural tease. X

Men are dicks. X

Men have dicks. X

Touche. See you later. X

I had already packed my bags a day or so before and yet my flight had caught up with me. I grabbed the bag and booked my Uber to arrive. The car was due any second and so I set about getting ready. Brushing up my teeth and then putting away the last bits to pack.

When I had arrived in America my jaw was in place. I had been before and the people I had met amazed me. They were mostly so open and happy to talk to me. In England, it was a strict culture of ignoring anyone you passed and yet that was completely unacceptable in America. Smiles must be on at all times. As I landed I realised that there was a lesser spotted Mini. They had all met and I sneaked a picture. That would be the best thing to send to Smii7y on a later date just to bother him. The flight had knocked me for six and sleep was needed so bad it almost hurt and so for the whole Uber ride and as soon as I was in my hotel I was asleep.

My mind wandered as it thought back on all it could. The hours I had spent and in only a few more hours I would have to go to pax and pretend to be a random fan that they had never met before. I was going to wear the last outfit that they would be expecting just to throw them. Nothing that would be noteworthy.

I had slept for a while, the whole plane and car journey as well as the time until my long-awaited alarm went off. It was time to get changed. I threw on a low level of makeup but I was still half asleep and so it was not my finest work. My thickly rimmed glasses covered up a large portion of my face. The top was a basic with 'Vans' written on it and I wore matching shoes. My jeans were a pair of the tightest black ones my butt could get into. The outfit was black with white though my top was white with black on. My hair was in two plaits. Tight and to the scalp. My Uber was due any second and so the group would be waiting.

Are you really not coming? X

I told you yesterday. A flight to America would break me. I can barely handle the trios my mind makes, never mind real flights. X

Why do you always have an answer? I do at least appreciate that you told me. I just had to hope for it. X

I haven't done a face reveal. I only just let the public hear my voice. Know my gender and my age. Maybe later. X

Kiss my ass later. X

Not sure if you meant to add a comma there. Because that seems like a question or command because you didn't use a question mark. X

Smart arse. X

You love me though. X

Nah. You are not good enough. X

Sorry, do you only date bimbo types? X

Y, no. I am Moto Moto. I like em big. I like em round. I like em chunky. X

You are in luck with me then. X

I have to go. Doors opening. Can I call you later? X

Maybe. I am pretty busy today. X

I knew full well that the doors were about to open as I stood there. Not at the front but it was obvious that I would get to meet them all. None of them would even know if I kept it to myself.

My eyes darted straight to them and I was about fifty people away. A short wait when compared to what it would have been only a second later. The queue was crammed but it didn't matter because all I needed was one photo. With any of them.

When it was my turn they all stood with me and took a photo. Smii7y kept an arm at my waist to keep me in place and John did the same. Shortly after, only a second, I had the chance for a photo with them individually. It was something I had to risk.

"Thanks." I had forgotten myself and hoped not to have been heard. Smii7y seemed to be too busy. Looking around. Mini wasn't used to my voice and so he was easier to fool, for a while at least.

My last photo was with Smii7y. He leant in as close as possible and I was sure he was going to whisper something about knowing, but he didn't.

"You don't need to be so nervous." He was as kind as any person to ever live. I had been so nervous, trying not to get found out. They would have dealt with it well but the fact of the matter was that they may have not even liked me. They could have thought badly of me. Things I was not ready to handle.

I smiled in response waiting for the photo to be taken. The others all being busy with their photos with other individuals. I was lucky to have a group one. When I got my phone back I felt my heart almost leap out when Smii7y had taken my phone but he only took one more selfie with me. His hand resting on my hip. We were pressed close just to fit in together and before I could say anything he clicked on my photos and made it my wallpaper and he made the one taken from afar my brand new lock screen. I laughed and thanked him, feeling nervous if he suddenly thought or said anything to hurt me but he didn't. That was a miracle.
