Fiction On Odyssey: Meeting An Idol

After a long day of walking around Las Vegas with 105-degree heat beating down on my face, I was happy to be sitting in my hotel room with my family. I knew I was hot, but instead of sweating, I had chills up my back. I knew that it was heatstroke. As we sat in the coolness of the hotel room, I made sure to drink as much water as I possibly could. As we sat, we took turns in the shower to cool off and clean up for the show that we would be going to in less than an hour.

I had been waiting for that show since April. I had bought the tickets for everyone in the family and at the time, I had had the money to get myself as well as my sister VIP tickets. We had been extremely excited upon finding out about the show and the tickets had been bought the next night. We were going to meet the two time America's Got Talent winner, Shin Lim, and the season 12 semi-finalist, Colin Cloud.

Finally, it was time for us to hop on the shuttle to the Fashion Show Mall. From the mall, we walked to the Mirage Hotel and Casino. The walk hadn't been that bad, as the sun was starting to set. Despite feeling like it was cooling down, it hadn't cooled down much. By the time we got inside, I was starting to get a headache. I really hoped that it wouldn't get in the way of my enjoyment of the show and the meet and greet that we were going to get to go to afterward.

We got inside and quickly walked back to the Terry Fator Theater. We stepped up to the Box Office, which had just opened, so that we could get our two VIP passes and then we walked over to where we would be able to go into the theater. We were some of the only people there and we wouldn't be able to be seated for another hour, but we saw that the table for merch sales was just about to open. We took a quick walk through some of the hotel shops before going back so my sister and I could get both sets of Shin's Regalia card decks as well as a Regalia logo shirt for me.

After the show, we were shown to the room where the meet and greet would take place. My sister and I were both super excited. She was gripping her two watercolor paintings tightly in her hands while I gripped my new Regalia deck. My mouth was dry and I could hardly hold back a squeal when we were told that Shin and Colin were close. A few minutes later, they walked in and the line slowly started moving. Soon, it was my sister's turn. I was stood close behind her since we wanted to get pictures together, but before that, she held out her pictures to have them signed. They freaked out after seeing the pictures. They signed them while insisting that she should be the one signing them and they took pictures with her 'for their selfish reasons'. I could help, but smile at how happy my little sister looked. It was rare that I got to see her so happy. We took our pictures (with Shin's puppy, Natsu, too) and I got my deck signed before we quickly left to squeal over how amazing that moment had been.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
