Awakening the Turquoise
Chapter 17: Silver Con pt2
Previous Chapter Next ChapterTurquoise and her friends woke up and changed into their cosplays for day two of the convention. As soon as they were dressed they went down to the lobby for breakfast. Turquoise got some muffins and coffee before looking for a table for her and her friends. As soon as Turquoise sat down a muscular orange boy dressed as Groose from Skyward Sword noticed her and tried to make a move with her.
“ Hey, Princess why don,t you ditch that loser link and join a real man,” Groose said irritating Turquoise a lot.
“ Sorry but my heart belongs to him and only him,” turquoise said calmly only to make Groose mad.
“ Listen, princess, no one rejects me like that now come on,” Groose said with an angry tone.
Right before Groose could try and kidnap Turquoise, Haruka after hearing the whole conversation came in and drew her sword.
“ You heard the lady now get lost before I show you my spin attack,” Haruka said while pointing her prop sword at him.
“ You don't scare me that’s just some cheap plastic sword you could not hurt me with it even if you tried,” Groose said full of confidence.
“ Who said I was talking about using my sword my other spin attack is much more deadly,” Haruka said as she prepared to do a roundhouse kick.
Just before a fight could break out one of the hotel employees came by to see what was going on.
“ Is there a problem here?” The employee asked.
“ Heck yes there is, this bastard tried to kidnap my girlfriend,” Haruka said.
“ Is that so well Sir we have a zero tolerance policy when it comes to kidnapping our guests especially our lady ones,” The employee said as Security came to throw Groose out along with his luggage.
“ Please accept our most sincere apologies Miss Dusk,” The employee said.
After the whole Groose incident was resolved Lemon joined Turquoise and Haruka to discuss their plans for day two.
“ You still entering that Contest you mentioned yesterday?” Lemon asked.
“ I am but that is not til in the afternoon we have time to do other stuff anything you want to do?” Turquoise asked.
“ Well I heard they have this dance game they imported from Japan I was hoping to try it,” Lemon said.
“ You mean Dansufībā? I loved that game back home can we love?” Haruka asked.
“ Sure hope you're ready for a rematch Lemon,” Turquoise said full of confidence.
“ Anytime Princess,” Lemon said also full of confidence.
“ Are you sure you can dance in that love it looks more suited for a ballroom than freestyle,” Haruka asked.
“ Just watch me,” Turquoise said.
As soon as they finished eating they went into the Convention Hall and found the very game Lemon was talking about.
“It's just as I remembered it,” Haruka said.
As soon as Turquoise and Lemon took their positions on the dance platforms a crowd began to gather.
“ Check this out we have a Mythra vs Zelda match,” One of the boys in the crowd said.
“ I wonder which song they will choose?” Another boy asked.
Lemon looked through the selection and both her and Turquoise agreed on (It's All In The Game). As soon as the song played Lemon was on fire while Turquoise despite missing a few steps because of her dress managed to keep up with Lemon. When the final verse of the song came Turquoise managed to pull a come from behind victory. The crowd cheered for Turquoise before she and Lemon got off the platforms.
“ Looks like we are tied at one apiece now,” Turquoise said.
“ Looks like it Winner take all at Blips & Chitz later?” Lemon proposed.
“ Deal,” Turquoise said.
Haruka took her turn and felt nostalgia from her childhood as she took on challenges. Later as soon as Haruka was finished the girls were about to see more of the con until a group of people asked Turquoise if they could get some pictures of her and Haruka. They agreed and Lemon waited for them. First, they had Turquoise do some Zelda like poses for them before taking pictures of each of them then they took some couples picture of her and Haruka. After they were done taking pictures Lemon checked her phone and noticed it was almost time for sign-ups for the Princess cosplay contest. The girls arrived just in time for Turquoise to sign up and this time she was first in line. Lemon noticed the girl from yesterday passing by.
“ I assume you're here to enter as well?” Lemon asked.
“ Not this time I had my fun yesterday I’m here to cheer Zelda on,” Peach said.
“ She is quite the skilled artisan and I feel she will win this one,” Peach added.
“ She sure is and I know she will she worked very hard on that outfit and mine,” Haruka said.
As Haruka and Peach were talking a person wearing a blue diving suit with gold trim bumped into Lemon by accident. The person removed his helmet revealing to be a white-skinned boy with brown hair and yellow eyes who felt his heart skip a beat at the sight of Lemon.
“ Are you ok?” Lemon asked.
“ Oh, yes I’m fine sorry for bumping into you,” the boy said.
“ It's fine accidents happen,” Lemon said.
“ By the way what's with the diving suit did you just come from the sea?” Lemon asked.
“ It's my Rex cosplay from Xenoblade Chronicles 2 I thought you knew since your cosplaying as Mythra,” The boy said.
“ Oh that Rex sorry still new to the world of Xenoblade,” Lemon said.
“ It's ok you know if you want I can teach you about it,” The boy said while blushing.
“ Sounds good, My name is Lemon by the way,” Lemon said.
“ I’m Rex and that is my real name not just my cosplay,” Rex said.
“ Nice to meet you, Rex,” Lemon said.
As they were talking the Princess Cosplay Contest began.
“ Welcome to our cosplay contest for day two of Silver Con we have some lovely ladies in this contest so let's hear it for them,” The announcer said as the audience cheered.
The contest began and as soon as Turquoise’s turn came the crowd was really excited.
“ And now taking the stage we have Princess Zelda from breath of the wild,” The announcer said as Turquoise took the stage and the crowd went wild.
After everyone had their turn the announcer decided to declare the winners.
“ In third place, we have Princess Liliane from Princess Resurrection,” the announcer said as a blonde girl wearing a black dress with white frills went up to claim her prize.
“ And in second place we have Princess Vivi from One Piece,” The announcer said as a girl with blue hair wearing a white dress with gold jewelry.
“ And finally our winner for today’s cosplay contest is Princess Zelda from breath of the wild,” The announcer said as Turquoise claimed her prize which was a small trophy with the words Cosplay Queen Turquoise etched on the base.
After Turquoise rejoined her friends they congratulated her on her victory. They decided to check out the Vendor Hall. Turquoise saw a lot of cool stuff but what drew her attention was a booth full of custom Xenoblade Chronicles 2 merchandise.
“ I never knew there was merchandise of the rare blades,” Turquoise said happily.
“ That's because I made these myself,” The vendor said.
“ These figures look so well detailed,” Turquoise said while holding an Electra figure.
“ They are five bucks a pop how many can I put you down for princess?” The vendor asked.
“ I will take one of each,” Turquoise said practically seeing the dollar signs in the vendor’s eyes.
“ Really no joke?” The vendor asked.
“ I’m serious I would like one of each blade,” Turquoise said.
“ In that case, thirty-eight figures comes down to a hundred and ninety dollars,” The vendor said as Turquoise pulled out her wallet and paid him with two one hundred dollar bills.
“ And ten dollars is your change enjoy the rest of the con princess,” The vendor said before restocking his table with new figures.
As soon as Turquoise caught up with the others they noticed the bag she was carrying.
“ What did you buy love?” Haruka asked curiously.
“ Just all thirty-eight Rare Blades from Xenoblade Chronicles 2,” Turquoise replied causing Rex to do a spit take inside his helmet.
“ Did you just say all of them how much did that cost?” Rex asked after recovering.
“ Two Hundred dollars but it's no big deal,” Turquoise said like it was nothing.
“ No big deal are you some kind of heiress or something?” Rex asked.
“ As a matter of fact, she is,” Haruka said saving Turquoise the trouble of explaining.
“ Anyway, what did you guys get?” Turquoise asked.
“ Rex and I bought these,” Lemon said as she and Rex each held what looked like the aegis's emerald core crystal only in necklace form.
“ And I bought us these,” Haruka said as she pulled out a Pikachu and Eevee hat giving the Eevee one to Turquoise.
“ I love Eevee how did you know?” Turquoise asked.
“ I’m your Girlfriend remember I know about your love for cute stuff,” Haruka said.
As soon as they finished looking around the girls decided to head back to their room to change.
“ Where are you three going?” Rex asked.
“ We are heading to our room to change and then we are going to Blips & Chitz, Care to join us, Rex?” Lemon asked.
Rex’s heart skipped a beat again and he tried to play it cool.
“ Sure,” Rex said.
The girls went back to their room while Rex went back to is which was in the room directly beneath them. After putting her Zelda cosplay away Turquoise changed into a white top with a beige skirt with flower branches on it and matching cork shoes. Lemon came out wearing her V6 t-shirt and jeans while Haruka came out wearing something similar to her outfit from yesterday. Lemon and Haruka were surprised by Turquoise’s outfit.
“ Even without your heiress look, you're still beautiful,” Haruka said.
“ Thanks love I thought I would try something new,” Turquoise said as she fastened her favorite necklace around her neck.
As soon as the girls left their room they see Rex wearing shorts and a red button-up shirt with black gear designs on it. Rex asked where they were going and Lemon said there was a Blips & Chitz in the gaming district and went outside to call an Uber. As soon as the Uber arrived he began making conversation.
“ So what brings you kids to Vegas?” The driver asked.
“ Silver Con,” Turquoise replied.
“ Neat how have you enjoyed it so far?” The driver asked.
“ So far we had a blast,” Lemon said.
“ That’s good I bet when your older and have your own family you will look back on this trip,” The driver said causing Turquoise and Haruka to blush.
As soon as they reached Blips & Chitz Turquoise paid the driver and the fun began. Turquoise and Lemon went to the dance game for their winner take all match while Rex and Haruka cheered them on. Lemon gave Turquoise the chance to pick the song since she won last time and she went with (Caffeine).
“ Going big I see hope you can keep up because they don,t call that song Caffeine for nothing,” Lemon said.
As soon as the song played everyone noticed the singer sounded like they had one too many coffees to drink. Lemon and Turquoise were getting quite a work out with this one. As soon as the final verse ended the scores were displayed and Lemon won by ten points.
“ Well, I give you are the greatest dancer I ever met,” Turquoise said as she and Lemon shook hands on a well-played game.
“ One thing about listening to music so much the rhythm becomes second nature to you,” Lemon said.
An hour later after winning so many tickets and Turquoise getting yet another pokemon to add to her collection, the group decide to have dinner at Blips & Chitz. While they waited for their food Rex decided now was the right time to get to know Lemon.
“ So Lemon tell me about yourself,” Rex said.
“ I’m into music and anime and I have a phobia of blood,” Lemon said.
“ Cool I’m into video games and have a phobia of Amish people,” Rex said.
“ I know the Amish hate technology but why are you scared of them,” Haruka asked.
“ When I was little my parents abandoned me in an Amish village for a month hoping to have me unplug for a while and when I used the resources available to me to make a potato-powered flashlight the man that took me in whipped me to the brink of death after calling me a spawn of Satan ever since I been scared of them,” Rex said.
“ Wow I knew the Amish took their religious beliefs seriously but to hurt a child over them that’s just wrong,” Turquoise said.
“ But no worries Amish people never leave their villages so you're safe,” Lemon said.
As they kept talking the waiter came with their food.
“ One plain burger for the gentlemen, one buffalo wing burger for the redhead and two salads for the tomboy and rocker girl,” The waiter said as he placed each plate in front of them before leaving.
“ Whoa, Turquoise are you sure you can eat that?” Rex asked.
“ She will be fine,” Haruka said.
As they were eating Rex asked what they had planned for the final day of the convention.
“ To be honest we don't know yet,” Lemon said.
“ Well there is the closing dance want to do that Lemon,” Rex asked for Lemon to finally pick up on Rex’s feelings.
“ You mean like a date sure,” Lemon said.
As everyone decided on their plans for tomorrow the waiter came by to check on the group.
“ I assume everything was to your liking?” the waiter asked.
“ Sure was,” Turquoise replied.
“ Glad to hear it care for dessert?” The waiter asked.
“ Sure,” Turquoise said before the group looked over the dessert menu.
After a few minutes, they all decided on the same thing.
“ We will have four Mega Monster Mash Sundaes,” Turquoise said.
“ A fine choice miss that’s our best one,” The waiter said before putting the order in.
“ How can you afford all of this Turquoise if you don't mind me asking,” Rex asked.
“ My dad pays me to keep his company’s security and Firewalls up and running and since I do such an exceptional job I get approximately 5000 dollars a week to use how I see fit,” Turquoise said.
“ Your lucky most teenagers get part-time jobs and even the ones who keep them don't make that much,” Rex said.
“ Are jobs that hard to keep where you're from?” Lemon asked.
“ Not really it’s just a friend of mine can,t hold one long enough to see his first paycheck,” Rex said.
“ Sounds like the worst employee in history,” Turquoise said.
“ Tell me about it if there was a world record for how many times someone got fired from a job he would most certainly have it,” Rex said.
As they were talking the Waiter came with four medium-sized sundaes that looked like monsters along with their bill.
“ Enjoy ladies and gentleman,” The waiter said before taking his leave.
The group enjoyed their sundaes and Turquoise swiped her card to pay the bill. After it was accepted they decided to head back to the hotel.
“ Shall we hit the hotel gym next?” Turquoise asked.
“ Definitely,” Lemon replied.
