After a long grueling year at San Diego State University, she was ready to delve into her favorite activity of the summer. The 19 year old, 5'2 young woman of Black, Peruvian and Russian descent was busy with the help of her best friend Lauryce putting together the outfits that she planned on wearing at the four day event.

"Which day should I wear my Batman tank?" Lauryce scanned the apparel for a second. "You should wear it on Saturday." Savannah nodded "I think I will." The young women broke out in giggles. "But seriously, I need to get my badge at the convention center. Lauryce, please come with me?" Savannah looked at Lauryce with pleading eyes. "Okay. Fine, I'll go get my things from the house. Be back in a sec.

Savannah and Lauryce had been friends since they were thirteen when Lauryce and her family had moved in the neighborhood. They lived in an area of San Diego called Paradise Hills. Lauryce had been there for Savannah when her parents got a divorce when she was sixteen. Savannah and Lauryce went to the convention center. Savannah got her badge with no problem. The young women decided to hang out and enjoy the site of the harbor for the remainder of the day.
