(Zac, Yuki, and Shin arrived at a comic book convention.)
Zac: Wow, there are so many people in costumes. I feel like I'm on a different planet.
Shin: It has always been like this at comic cons.
Zac: What is a comic con?
Shin: It's a meeting of people who have a great interest in comic books.
Zac: I see. Hey, what is going on there? Look at the line that leads to that booth. It's so long.
Yuki: Oh my! The guy who is signing for the fans there is Peter Matthew.
Zac: Is he famous?
Shin: You might not know his face, but you've probably heard his voice before. He played the bear which appears in Star Worlds.
Yuki: That bear is one of my favorite characters. Where is my camera? I want to take pictures with him.
(Outside the restroom)
Yuki: I just shook Peter Matthew's hand. I'm not going to wash my hands.
Shin: Haha, I got a hug from him, and I won't take a bath tonight.
Zac: Guys! You won't believe what just happened inside. I saw a girl in a blue and white school uniform. She had a tail on her bottom.
Yuki: That must be the main character from the movie, Neko Chan.
Shin: Yes! Then what happened, Zac?
Zac: Then her tail fell off, but she didn't notice that. I picked it up and asked her if it belonged to her. She turned around and said in a very deep voice, "Yes, thank you, honey." It was a guy.
Yuki: Welcome to the comic con!
(柴克、由紀和信抵達了漫畫展。)
柴克:哇,好多穿道具服的人喔。我覺得我身處在不同的星球上。
信:漫畫展一直以來都這樣。
柴克:什麼是漫畫展?
信:它是個對漫畫有極大興趣的人們的聚會。
柴克:原來如此。嘿,那邊發生什麼事?看看通往那攤位的隊伍。隊伍好長。
由紀:天哪!那個在幫粉絲簽名的男子是彼德.馬修。
柴克:他有名嗎?
信:你可能沒看過他的臉,但你很可能以前曾經聽過他的聲音。他飾演出現在星際世界裡的熊。
由紀:那隻熊是我最喜歡的角色之一。我的相機在哪?我想要跟他合照。
(在洗手間外)
由紀:我剛握了彼德.馬修的手。我不會洗手了。
信:哈哈,我得到他的一個擁抱,我晚上不洗澡了。
柴克:大夥們!你們不會相信剛在裡面發生了什麼事。我看到一個女生穿著藍白的學校制服。她臀部上有條尾巴。
由紀:那鐵定是來自電影貓咪醬的主要角色。
信:沒錯!接下來了發生什麼事,柴克?
柴克:然後她的尾巴掉了,但她沒發現。我把它撿起來並問她那尾巴是否屬於她。她轉過身來並用一個很低沉的聲音說:「對,謝謝你,甜心。」他是一個男的。
由紀:歡迎來到漫畫展!
