TW: None

So tomorrow was officially going to be the best day ever, I mean why wouldn't it be? Oh wait, you lot who are reading don't know who I am or why I'm excited. Well, I'm Toby Cottrell. It's nice to meet you, and today... well tomorrow, is basically the day I meet my best friend for the first time ever in person. His name is Martyn, and we've been best friends forever... it might seem weird to you that this is our first time meeting in person am I right? Well we met online on a game called 'Minecraft' also known as the best game of the century to some... anyway, I'm really excited, and to meet him for the first time ever – his name is Martyn, by the way.

After a few hours of talking to Martyn over skype it was 10pm, I decided to go to bed to be fully rested for tomorrow. I bid farewell to Martyn via the web cam, and so did Martyn he bid farewell by saying "Farewell, Martyn. I'll see you tomorrow!" I closed down skype, and shut down my desktop computer and climbed into bed due to the fact that I already had my pyjamas on so there was no need to change. I pulled the duvets up once I had been tucked in to bed. My mum was already asleep, as usual. I went to bed feeling overjoyed and excited for tomorrow's adventures... I hope it will be fun! And nothing bad will happen.
-Next day
I woke up and was grinning to myself, I had a cute dream... of course it was about mine and Martyn's first time meeting each other I imagined that it was going to be perfect, and I couldn't wait. I got out of bed and turned on my desktop, and opened skype and checking the icon at the top of Martyn's profile – Martyn was online. "Good morning, today is the day eh?" He had already wrote in the text box. We made a promise to not webcam each other this morning due to the fact that we didn't want to see what each other is wearing, and believe it or not I plan to keep that promise. I wanted it to be a surprise, then again I half expected him to wear something green and probably blue shorts – after all that's what he wears on a day to day basis. I had bid farewell... and said 'see you later.' And I was right, because it was true... we would see each other later at around 2pm – because that's when Minecon starts. I'm getting on the train to Manchester at 1pm to go. I had noticed that Martyn was now offline and also had wrote in the chat just before he left he had said "here's my number. See you later, friend." He wrote and then left, I added his number to my contact list on my phone just to tell him when we got there – once I put it into my phone I texted it and said 'hi it's Toby.' I sent then left my house, heading towards the train station.

I ran to get more momentum due to the fact it was already half 12 and the train is leaving in about half n' hour. I had reached the train at the moment on just 1pm, I paid for my ticket as fast as possible. 'Damn, I should've booked it.' I mumbled to myself, 'oh well. What's done is done I guess.' I paid for my ticket, and went to the toilet and then ran towards the train – checking my phone 1:05pm it will leave in approximately 5 more minutes I guess. I guess it's waiting for more people who had already booked the train I was going on.

A few more people finally came and then the train made its everyday 'toot' noise to signal that it's going to stop moving. I was really glad, I was heading towards Manchester – in about half an hour me and Martyn will be meeting outside of Minecon for the first time ever. I was really glad. I got out my phone and headphones, due to the fact that nobody was next to me or in front of me I could finally fall to sleep, however I did decide to be an actual gentleman and text Martyn, "Hey, I'm on the train now. See you in about half an hour." I wrote on my phone, and then tapping the send. I put my headphones in my ears and then turned on some music, closing my eyes and slowly drifting to sleep. I was happy in sleep, I could feel the train stop every 10 minutes at a new station – so people could get on and also get off. The train kept on stopping for another 10 minutes more, it had been 20 minutes since the train had set off... I was hoping to get there at 1:30pm just so we could formally introduce ourselves but I guess with this many stops it's not going to happen.

The train arrived at the train station, held its doors open for about 5 minutes and then it shut its door... however, we haven't moved since that happened... I'm starting to wonder why. Even though, I'm asleep I could feel the train had stopped for longer than usual, oh well... I guess the train captain would shout through the microphone anytime soon to tell us if we was stuck. And yep that happened, the captain of the train shouted through the microphone, "testing, testing." He shouted down the microphone, which I blinked a few times at and then suddenly opened my eyes. "Hello passengers, I'm the captain of the current train you're riding. We are sorry for the current delay, however there seems to be a giant tree in our path we have contacted the fire engine services to see if they can come and remove it. Thanks, and sorry for the inconvenience."

The fire engine came in about 10 minutes and thank god for that, we set off moving again and finally within 20 minutes reached the Manchester Piccadilly station – thank you! We was finally here, it was time to finally meet Martyn. In reality, I was smiling like a weirdo but inside I was feeling all scared – I guess you could say I had butterflies in my stomach – oh well! I ran to the Manchester Geometric centre (It used to be some sort of museum, but now they use it for conventions like comic convention and Minecon. I had been to the comic convention before, and been to the Minecon one.) I ran towards the centre, I had finally got here. He was there, sat down on a bench and I literally ran up to him shouting "Martyn!!" I ran towards him, jumping up to him and wrapping my arms around my neck. Finally, I got to see my long distance best friend. I hope, we'll have a good time at Minecon and many adventures to come.
