Well... It was a normal day at your average anime convention. I awaited my friends at the statue in the center of the lobby, bored as it were and annoyed at the recent events that I'd already missed. I chose to move around the place, maybe visit the dealers gallery. On the way there, I hauled myself through a long, cool indoor pathway. Out of the corner of my eye appeared a beautiful young lady, a cosplayer as it were. The spitting image of Tetsuya Nomura's character, Rikku from Final Fantasy X-2. I came to a stop, before approaching the young lady, asking her if it would be alright to get a picture with her. She replied that she'd like that, and we posed together as a nearby person took hand of my camera and shot us together. After that, I'd thanked her and moved on my way. The convention moved on; I did all kinds of fun and interesting things: meeting new people and starting new friendships. My final event at the convention was coming... the SID concert: What I'd been looking forward too since I'd heard about them. I stood in line for a moment, searching for someone I know. My search wasn't in vane, as I saw my friends, Judah and Shlomo sitting with a young female who bore some familiar features. I approached the group, and sat down. The guys greeted me, and the young lady asked, "Didn't I get a picture with you earlier?" I looked over her body... her beautiful smile instantly took me back to the morning of the previous day. I replied, "Oh... You were a Rikku, right?" before she nodded her head to me. Her and Judah began talking about something that I didn't really care about, the same issues that I'd already argued over time after time with so many others, who never seemed to understand my thoughts. But then she spoke; her thoughts flew through me like chapters of a journal I'd written too long ago. I couldn't help but leap into the conversation and head her off before she made her point. She looked at me in amazement, before stuttering, "I totally agree with you..." I smiled at her and she smiled back, and the conversation casually continued... up until Shlomo decided to show off the weight of his masculinity, requesting that we have an orgy in the middle of the hallway. Immidiately, the young lady detested... rediculing the young boy for saying something so thoughtless... Until the floor had been transferred to me again, and I had stated my strong ideals of love before sex. She headed off my own thoughts as I did, adding that it should be shared between only a truly forever-lasting committment. Me and her went bout for bout with Shlomo, before the line had began to move... The concert was about to begin. I peeked at our wrists and it seemed that the only one without a VIP bracelet was the previously posing Rikku cosplayer. Instantly, we were swept into another line, and she fell back... The crowd gathered and people began pushing. I myself lost my own place. As things began to calm down though, she'd come up to me and the other two. "I don't think I'll be able to stay for the concert... but I'd like to see you again. Will you be at any other anime conventions?" she asked in a moment of desperation. "Uh... I think there's one in November..." I started, before she anxiously suggested, "You mean AnimeIowa in September?" The look in her eyes made it impossible to suggest I may not make that one, so I replied, "Yeah, that's it..." She smiled, before saying "Cool... I'll see you then. It was nice to meet you, and I'd really like to see you again..." she cooly announced, before she skipped off and the crowd overwhelmed us yet again. Once things began to simmer down, I managed to catch back up with Judah and Shlomo... The two were talking to a couple of Jrock fangirls waiting in the VIP line. "Hey, guys..." I started. "Hey, this is Ben... He's a madd Jrock fan!" Shlomo stated as I moved into the group. "Eh? Not really..." I said, trying my best to get out of the conversation... I wasn't in any mood to think about Jrock, for I couldn't stop thinking about the beautiful girl who'd promised to meet me again. "That girl... she was really cute," I said to Judah. "Who? You mean Bunny?" he noted... "Was that her name?" I asked... My head low, because I hadn't gotten a chance to find anyway of contact with her. "Yeah," he replied. ... At that moment, I realized that the SID concert wasn't important. I grabbed the paper band around my wrist marked, "VIP" and tore it off... clutching the green tape between my fingers. "I need to go, guys... It's getting late... See ya later," I said. I shook Judah's hand as I left, and heard Shlomo call out, "Hey, if you find Bunny again, send her back with that bracelet, eh?!" I could only reply to that comment by giving him a gesture of antagonization... the 'bird' if you will, before I ran out of the hall leading to the stage. I searched left and right, but couldn't find the young lady... I picked up and moved to the lobby, but there was no sign... I wouldn't stop though, I was intent on finding her before she left... I ran throughout the building, searching room for room, till I found my way at the building entrance. At that point I realized that it was too late. I picked up my bag and walked back to the hotel room, where my brothers awaited my arrival for our departure. As I loaded my things into our vehicle, I couldn't help but think, "I'll never see her again..." ... When I got home, everything was as I'd left it. I had returned to my lonely, cold world... a world where desperation was a usual feeling in that deep, aching void of my heart. I decided to go onto the Acen forums to see if I could find anyone who might've gotten pictures with me in them... and that was when I saw someone had posted a picture of the young lady, Bunny. It was then that I realized that there was a chance I could meet this girl... that I could see her again...
And so my quest began.
Interesting, neh? I thought it was pretty good... This story is my own personal account of Anime Central. It's the inspiration for my new campaign... To find Bunny.
A lot of people have called it insane that I'm campaigning to find a girl... that it might scare her away from friendship or what-not between us. But y'know what? I don't think I'll find her before Anime Iowa comes along unless I do this.
For the moment, my campaign has only 5 members excluding me. I hope to build this number up, but before that, I need assistance. I request someone to help me design(And if they can, host) an official website for this. I also request assistance of one with photoshop to make an official banner for my campaign.
You ever wanted to be apart of something that could be big... something romantic and true? Well, here's your opportunity, I suppose. I know this seems like a shameless plug, but trust me... you can be helping me greatly x_x;
Thanks for reading and stuff. If you decide to join the campaign, IM me or leave a post and I'll add you to the list. Arigatou ^_^;;
