My name is James. School was finally out for the summer, which was especially fortuitous for me as I was intending to go to a popular culture convention. I got clearence from my parents to go, so when the last bell went. After the bell rang I headed home to look at the costume I'd put together. I was a new take on G1 Optimus Prime costume. It was extremely elaborate, and the helmet incorporated a voice changer chip which allowed me to speak with the iconic tones of Peter Cullen.
It then became apparent that my friends were waiting for me. I headed outside, wearing the costume (for some reason), and boarded. One of my fellows, Jerry, was dressed as Robin Hood and was rather concerned about my timekeeping.
"Forgive me, Robin Hood," the voice chip doing it's job, "I did not think it would take that long."
"Hey, not your fault James," said the other passenger in the car, and another close friend of mine, Tina. She was dressed as Wonder Woman. "Neat costume!"
"Thank you Tina," I replied back,
"Alright let's get this show on the road!" Jerry hit the gas and off we went. I must have fallen asleep, as next thing I knew we were there.
It was an impressive scene. People everywhere, costumed, and also selling props. I saw one person was selling a replica of the Matrix, and I wondered over.
"Greetings, human," I told him, speaking in character. "I couldn't help but notice you have found The Matrix,and I was wondering if you would kindly return it,for a price."
"That's an incredibly good costume!"
"I am truly humbled," I answered.
"You get a free bonus chucked in as well!"
This intruiged me. "And what is this bonus?"
"It's an exact replica of the shieldblaster from Age of Extinction."
"You got yourself a deal!"I said excitedly, pulling out my wallet and giving the Merchant $45.
Just then everything went fuzzy. I heard some brief shouting, other voices saying something unintelligable, and then...
Nothing.
