Conventional Enchanted

Sunday, Elara and Mia are woke up from their sleep, soon Mia cooked the breakfast food. "Here's your breakfast," Mia says, setting a plate of eggs, toast, and a banana in front of Elara. "It's not as fancy as what you're used to, but it's what we have."

Then, there was mailman, then he arrived at their doorstep with a letter. The name on the envelope was Mia, their was a poster of the Fandom Convention. "It's for you," Elara says, handing the letter to Mia.

Mia takes the envelope, her eyes lighting up with excitement. "It's from the Fandom Expo Convention!"

"Fandom Expo Convention, what's that?" Elara asks, her curiosity piqued as she watches Mia tear open the envelope.

Mia pulls out a colorful flyer, her eyes scanning the details. "It's like a giant gathering of people who love the same books, movies, anime, cartoon and video games, dressing up as their favorite characters, buying merchandise, and even meeting the creators."

Elara nods, her eyes widening with excitement. "Can we go?"

Mia looks at her, surprised. "You want to go to a convention?"

Elara nods enthusiastically. "Yes! It sounds like a festival from my world, but with your amazing stories and inventions."

Mia laughs, handing Elara the flyer. "You're going to love it. Let's see what costumes we can put together."

In the NBI Headquarters, the goverment asked. "The princess had going to the convention, we need to watch her, she can't be recognized!"

Agent Meiko was a girl of few words, but her efficiency was unmatched. She nodded curtly at the instruction and immediately began to formulate a plan. "Understood," she said into her earpiece. "We'll keep tabs on her without drawing attention."

In the building was a Fandom Expo Convention, Elara and Mia are arrived in the bustling venue. The air was thick with the scent of popcorn and excitement as fans of all ages swarmed around, dressed as their favorite characters.

"Wow, I never seen any like that!" Elara exclaimed, her eyes darting around in amazement at the sea of colorful costumes. Mia grinned, taking her hand and leading her through the crowded convention floor.

Then Elara and Mia are headed to the manga section, when Mia picks two manga, one was My Hero Academia, the other was Akira. Mia looked to the horrifying of two mangas.

"Look, the spoilers of MHA Chapter 407, All for One was deadly horror villain was a Luminescent Baby, and in Akira's Final Chapter that Tetsuo was becoming giant flesh baby!" Mia exclaimed, her eyes wide with excitement.

Elara leaned in to look at the vivid illustrations. "Your stories are so... intense," she murmured, a mix of wonder and bewilderment in her voice.

Mia chuckled. "You get used to it. It's part of the fun, seeing how wild imagination can be." She tucked the mangas under her arm and continued scanning the rows of stalls.

Elara giggle and said. "Well, in my world, we have dragons and witches, but nothing quite like these... 'mangas'." She pronounced the word with a slight hesitation, still unfamiliar with the term.

Mia nodded. "You'll see, there's something for everyone here. Let's go check out the cosplay section." Then, she saw Agent Meiko was standing at a distance. Mia got shocked and horrified that Agent Meiko was from the NBI and she said. "Holy goodness!"

Elara looked at her, confused. "What's wrong?"

Mia swallowed hard, her grip on Elara's hand tightening. "Remember the NBI? The ones who are looking for you? I think I just saw one of their agents. Let's go to the cosplay section!"

Elara and Mia are quickly weaving through the crowded aisles, trying to blend in with the masses of cosplayers. Elara's heart races as she looks over her shoulder, hoping not to catch the agent's gaze. "What do we do if they recognize me?" she whispers, her voice shaky.

Mia squeezes her hand reassuringly. "Don't worry, we'll stay in character. I've got a plan." They duck into a booth filled with racks of elaborate costumes, and Mia starts searching for something that could help them disguise themselves.

They going to cosplay wearing section, just then, Mia wears a Tsubaki Kureha's cosplay from "Yurikuma Arashi". "How talented!" Elara exclaimed.

Mia smiles at her nervously. "Thanks."

Then Elara wears her Tetsuo's mutation final form mascot cosplay from "Akira". "Oh, I'm not sure about this," Elara says, her cheeks flushing under the thick white paint and bulbous eyes of the costume.

Mia nods firmly. "It's perfect. You're unrecognizable now." She hands Elara a pair of oversized gloves to complete the look. "And remember, we're just here to enjoy the convention. Act normal."

They venture back into the bustling crowd, their costumes blending them in perfectly. Elara's gaze darts around nervously, the heavy mascot head making it difficult to see. Then Agent Meiko comes to their direction, her eyes scanning the sea of cosplayers.

Mia spots her first and pulls Elara into a nearby group of cosplayers taking photos. They pose awkwardly with the others, Elara's heart pounding in her chest. The flashes from cameras blind them for a moment, and when the light fades, they find themselves face-to-face with the agent.

Agent Meiko nods politely, her eyes lingering on Elara's mascot costume. "Nice cosplay," she says, her tone neutral.

Mia jumps in, playing it cool. "Thanks! We're just big fans of Akira." She tightens her grip on Elara's hand, giving it a quick squeeze.

Elara nods, her heart thumping so loud she's sure it's echoing through the convention hall. "Yeah, it's a classic," she says, her voice muffled by the mascot head.

Agent Meiko's gaze lingers for a moment longer before she nods and moves on, seemingly satisfied with their cover. As she disappears into the throng of people, Mia lets out a sigh of relief. "Close call," she murmurs, her eyes darting around for any other potential threats. Soon they undisguised themselves and decided to go the cosplay section.

Soon, Mia wears a Ms. Chalice's costume from Cuphead and Elara wears a Yandere-chan's cosplay uniform from Yandere Simulator. "Let's go blend in," Mia says, leading Elara into the cosplay contest area.

The cosplay contest was a whirlwind of colors and creativity. Elara couldn't believe the level of detail and commitment these people had to their craft. They watched as contestants strutted and posed on stage, bringing their characters to life. When it was their turn, Mia took a deep breath. "Remember, we're just here for fun," she reminded Elara.

They stepped onto the stage, Mia's Ms. Chalice costume sparkling under the lights, and Elara's Yandere-chan outfit looking eerily authentic. The crowd roared with approval as they struck a pose together, Elara playfully holding a fake knife behind Mia's back. The judges chuckled, seemingly enjoying their playful take on the characters.

As they waited for the results, Elara leaned in to whisper to Mia. "I can't believe we're actually doing this," she said, her voice a mix of excitement and nerves.

Mia grinned, her eyes glinting with mischief. "It's all part of the adventure," she whispered back, giving Elara's hand a reassuring squeeze.

At the end of the cosplay contest area, Elara and Mia are going to the gaming section. The sounds of cheers, laughter, and video game music filled the air as they approached the rows of consoles and computers. Elara's eyes widened at the sight of people engrossed in games she had only heard about in the stories from her world.

Elara spots some full of Prince of Persia Sega Genesis game cartridges and her eyes light up with excitement. "Remind me, how do these work?" she asks, holding up one of the dusty cartridges.

Mia laughs, taking the cartridge from her. "It's a classic. You insert it into the console, and it stars with some gaming."

"No offense, but it looks like something from a wizard's cavern," Elara says, her curiosity piqued.

Also, Elara and Mia are going to video tv section, where they are showing a Disney movie was "Enchanted. Mia asked about Enchanted. "What is Enchanted. It's about a princess from a cartoon world who's transported to the real world, just like you," Mia explains with a wink.

"Oh thanks...." Elara blushed, realizing the irony of the situation. Soon they go to the movie section, and they watched Disney's Enchanted together. Elara's eyes sparkled with excitement as the story unfolded, seeing so many parallels to her own life.

Soon the movie's finished, Mia and Elara are exiting the theater, the latter lost in thought. "It's like looking into a mirror," Elara says, her voice filled with awe. Mia felt that it was good, but they saw Agent Meiko, who was watching to the princess cosplays.

"Have you seen the princess here?" Agent Meiko asks a vendor selling popcorn, her eyes scanning the crowd.

The vendor shakes his head. "No, I haven't. But good luck in your search," he says, popping another kernel into his mouth.

Then Meiko comes to the one of the princess cosplay was Princess Peach, then Meiko said. "Are you the princess?"

The cosplayer, a young girl with pink hair, giggles. "Sorry, no. Just a big fan," she says, holding up her plush Bowser.

"Let's go!" Mia whispers urgently, tugging Elara away from the movie theater. They merge back into the crowd, trying to stay ahead of Agent Meiko. But Meiko saw them, which Elara and Mia are going to the arcade section. Meiko says. "I found you!"

Inside on the arcade section, Elara and Mia are surrounded by the bright lights and beeping sounds of vintage and modern games. "I know the NBI, they are relentless. We need to keep moving," Elara says, her eyes darting.

It hears someone sitting down. It was Agent Meiko who already found them. "Tell me, are you girls having a date for reason??" Meiko says in her insane face, soon Elara and Mia are run off from her, into the arcade games.

Mia's eyes searched for a place to hide, and she spotted a game booth with a prize of an inflatable Tetsuo plush. "Quick, in here!" she whispered to Elara, and they both ducked behind it. They watched as Agent Meiko passed by, her gaze sweeping over the crowd without pausing on their hiding spot. Soon Elara and Mia are got out from the arcade section, but worst....they saw the exit, with a NBI agent checking people out with an infrared gun.

"We need a better plan," Mia murmured, her heart racing as she scanned the area. Then Elara realized there was a idea.

"Maybe, there was toilet room, which it has a exit." Elara suggested.

Mia nodded, understanding the urgency. They made their way through the throngs of people, trying to stay inconspicuous. The bathroom sign was a beacon of hope in the chaos of the convention. They saw a duct exit at the back of the bathroom, but it was too small for Elara's bulky mascot costume.

"I'll go first," Mia said, squeezing through the tight space with ease. "You follow me and try to keep your head down."

Elara nodded, her heart racing as she watched Mia disappear into the duct. She took a deep breath and followed, her costume's bulky frame making it a tight fit. The metal was cold and unyielding against her skin, and the darkness enveloped her. The sound of their pursuers grew distant as they crawled through the ventilation shaft.

After what felt like an eternity, they reached the end of the duct. Mia looked back, her eyes filled with determination. "Almost there," she whispered, pushing open the vent cover. They got exiting through a duct. They get out of the duct into an empty alleyway, the cool evening air a stark contrast to the stuffy confines of the convention center. Elara took off her mascot head, her hair sticking to her forehead with sweat.

"It was the best day!" Elara exclaimed as they stepped into the alley, the cool breeze a welcome relief from the stuffy air of the convention.

Mia nodded, a smile playing on her lips. "It sure was."

"Well, it took place for a happily ever time!" Elara exclaimed, her eyes sparkling with excitement as they stepped into the alley. Then Elara leaned to Mia and kissed her in her lips, "Thank you for showing me this amazing world, Mia!"

Mia's eyes widened in surprise before she returned the kiss, her heart fluttering with an unexpected warmth. "You're welcome, Elara," she murmured when they pulled apart.

Soon they going to the small house, which they are ever stay, after the amazing adventure at the Fandom Expo Convention.
