I recorded myself screeching 'Vidcon!' and put it as my alarm. That's how I got up at four am and jumped on my sister until she got up. I rushed to get ready and get my stuff. I dumped pellets into a bowl for my rats and put them in their carrier. Meg was heading over here right now so we could leave. We met her at the door and got in the car. My mom left us as much money as she could spare for food on the way to the airport. I forced Sydney to get us Dairy Queen at 6:30 am. I got a large blizzard and ate it all. We finally got to the airport and I slept half the time. The other half of it I was messaging Jaiden and James.

We finally landed and looked around for James who was meeting us. Vidcon was tomorrow so we came the day before so I could Vlog with Jaiden and James. I got out my camera and started recording when we found James.

"Hey guys it's Ivy Animations here! And Ivy AJ. I'm with theodd1sout aka James. We are meeting up with Jaiden Animations later today but now James is just showing me around the hotel, when we get there." I explained. I showed Meg and my sister. "This is Meg and Sydney from previous videos." I added.

We started walking to the hotel while vlogging and a few kids came up to James and I asking for autographs I've never signed anything so I just wrote Ivy and a flower by it. "Thank you!" The littlest girl squeaked and raced after her group. I realized it was much later than it would've been in PA. It was almost noon and we left the house at 5:30. Wow. James suggested we just eat with Jaiden since she was at a restaurant already.

"She's there with a few people she met up with I think." James informed us. Meg was freaking out being so close to him. She loves his channel and has been subscribed since 100 subscribers.

"Kayleigh?" I turned around to see Sarah, or Bepper running with Mia or Wisteria straight at me. I was barreled over by the two as they tackled me with hugs. "Kay! It's so good to see you again!" Sarah shouted in my face.

"You too." I looked around expecting the others to be here too. "Where is Julian and everyone?"

"Oh, Julian didn't want to run but he's with us. And everyone else is finding their rooms." Mia explained as they waited for Julian. He finally found us after we screamed his name. Man did that draw a crowd. We had to sign, no. We got to sign a bunch more autographs for people. James wasn't noticed much since not many of the kids watched his videos.

I was in the middle of signing another autograph when out of the blue Julian asks in my ear, "How old is your sister?"

I burst out laughing and he turned away like nothing happened. "18 and taken." I whispered back.

"Oh. That's disappointing." He mumbled and watched me finish signing the paper.

"James?" We all turned to Jaiden. "You said we were meeting at the restaurant.

"Oh sorry. We got stopped by three groups of kids on the way." I apologized for him. "I guess his message didn't send."

"Oh that's ok. We can get something later. Les get everyone to their rooms."

-timeskip to the hotel-

It took a while but we made it to the floors all the youtubers were staying on. James left to find CaptainSparkles and Wisteria left to find the others. It was just me, Jaiden, Sarah, Meg, and Syd. I decided to introduce the two to the other two. "Sarah, Jaiden. This is Meg and Sydney." I randomly said as we got to my room. The room was pretty decent for a hotel.

"Well, see you tomorrow. I gotta go find James." Jaiden hugged me goodbye and walked away.

"And I have to find my James." Sarah giggled.

-timeskip to later-

I met up with the other Animal Jam youtubers to discuss tomorrow. I have a panel of my own but I was going to hang out by theirs too. We all met up at a random restaurant and struggled to find a table that sat us all. We couldn't. "Growing up in a big family has its perks." I told them. They were probably confused until I asked for a booth and a table or two close to it. The lady led us over to the tables and we pushed them together after she left.

"Nice thinking Kay." Julian praised me like a little kid. I mean, I was a little kid compared to all the other youtubers so it made sense.

James shot a glare at me like he could've done that too. Aparri and I never got along. He didn't like me because I was one: rarer. And two: both my channels had more subs than him. Even if it was just one of them. The others didn't care about subs. That's why I actually liked them. Sarah struck up conversation with me about my rats. At the moment they were being taken care of by Meg and Sydney at the hotel.

"Yeah I named Greely as tribute to you." I nodded to Julian on my other side. "And Gilbert for you."

We continued talking for a while until we got our food. I wasn't sure what to get since Clark said he was paying so I got the cheapest thing on the kids menu. Mac and Cheese and broccoli. Don't get me wrong, I love those foods. But this place gave me like, a spoonful of Mac and cheese and about two pieces of broccoli. Julian and Bepper were cool about sharing their fries though. I pretty much was forced to eat Julian's waffle fries because he kept saying, "Eat something or you'll starve later."

"No I won't. I barely eat anyway." I complained back.

"Eat them or I'll make you eat the salad." He'd threaten. I ended up eating the fries obviously. Yeesh I never realized how much of a big brother Julian was to me. Clark finally told us about the panel and everything about tomorrow. He also gave us these bags for tomorrow. He said not to open them yet. Julian walked be back to the hotel while everyone else ran off. 

"I can walk alone ya know." I complained and crossed my arms.

"Not at 13." Julian retorted, walking me into the elevator. It felt like forever until we made it to my room. I flopped on my bed and Julian closed the door. Sydney was snoring in her bed and Meg was asleep on the foot of my bed. Gilbert and Greely were sleeping by the cage door with Greely's butt in the food bowl. I thought about tomorrow and finally fell asleep.
