I turned my head to the back to see the little Tall Lady snaking through the legs of the crowd. I wanted to call out to her but I resisted as that would draw eyes. I could only give chase to her with much difficulty, wedging my shoulders through the mob of people that were exiting the convention.
The Tall Lady arriving at the middle of the crossroad, turned her head left and right before stopping on a woman with long black hair reaching her wide hips and with a big metal suitcase in the far distance. She took a turn into a corner, heading behind a stage.
The Tall Lady continued her pursuit of her lookalike, with great certainty that must be the same as her. She didn't know what she could achieve in doing so, she was simply doing it out of instinct.
Following the Tall Lady to the back of the stage, I stuck my head out of the corner of a wall to see a woman with cosplay on was showing her badge that looks like the one Peggy had to the bulky man standing guard in front of a door. When the woman was let through and she swayed the door opened, the little Tall Lady slipped inside the room seconds before the door was closed shut.
Despite being a little bit frustrated by her actions, I couldn't help but be impressed by how good the Tall Lady is in sneaking into places she shouldn't be.
Pulling my wallet from my back pocket, I opened it up and pulled my student identification card from one of the slits. I took a deep breath to calm my nerves and came out behind the wall and straight toward the burly man.
I gave him a polite smile and flashed my card to him naturally but before I could walk past him, he suddenly put his hand on my chest, stopping me from moving further.
"Hmm? Is there any problem?"
The burly man pointed at the signage on the door behind him that said 'Female Changing Room'.
"You are at the wrong changing room, buddy. Male changing room is on the other side." He tilted his chin forward, I turned my head to find that there's another room at the other end of the walkway.
"B-But this is something very important that I need to tell my friend."
"You can tell her when she's out." The burly man pushed me aside to accept the woman behind me and she was let through by the man.
Just right when the door was swayed open, I pleaded with the man again but with a louder voice, "Please, my pet rat had run into the changing room, I need to tell my friend to help me find it."
"Wuu...What did you say?" The woman who held the door open turned her head back to me with a shocked face.
"A RAT! HE SAID THERE'S A RAT IN THE CHANGING ROOM!" Another woman inside the changing room shrieked with terror and then more shrieks came from the room before all the women came bursting out of the room like the zombies in the movies. The burly man was pushed away on the back by the flood of women.
Taking my opportunity in the chaos I created, I fought through the current of terrified women. My face, my hands and my body were getting squished by torrents of boobs and ass, this is almost as difficult as boarding a train in peak hour with people going in and coming out at the same time.
Soon, my face landed on the floor of the changing room as I was pushed out by the women trying to flee the room. I quickly pushed myself back up and started scanning my surroundings for the Tall Lady and It did not take long for me to find her at the end of the row of stalls, her lower half stuck out at the bottom of the curtain drawn stall, crawling her way inside.
Without thinking twice, I ran toward the stall and dived toward the Tall Lady with both of my hands thrusted forward, crashing into the stall.
Feeling something soft and squishy in my hands, I slowly parted my hands to find the Tall Lady was within my grasp and I heaved a sigh of relief. However, I caught something in my upward peripheral vision. Turning my gaze forward, I saw a pair of pale white feet in front of me.
I gulped a mouthful of saliva, realizing that a big trouble is ahead of me.
"Haha, I'm so sorry, my pet rat had gotten away but no worries, I had gotten her within my hands. I'll be on my way." Still lying on the floor, I retracted my hands toward my chest to place the Tall Lady back into my sling bag and this time, I made sure I had zipped my bag shut.
With everything done, I placed both of my palms flat on the floor, attempting to slide myself out of the stall.
"Ryan?" A familiar voice came on top of me..
Puzzled, I tilted my head up, the woman before me wore a lewd short gown that fully exposed her thighs and I could see the blue panties from underneath. She had a navy blue hair and bust as big as Lara's, a long black wig was on one of her hands.
"Lisa? You're a cosplayer?"
But before I could make sense of what's happening, I suddenly felt a pair of hands clasping on my ankles, yanking me out of the stall.
"You better have a good explanation of what you are doing down there, boy." The burly man who was guarding the door to the changing room lifted me off the floor and grabbed me by the shirt. His face was all red of anger and there were lots of women standing behind him with their arms folded beneath their breast, their previous terrified look was all gone and were now replaced with vexations.
"I-I have told you that my pet rat had run into the room, I'm just here to get her back."
"Then where is the rat now?"
"Right here." I tipped my chin downward, signaling to him that the supposed rat was in my sling bag.
"Show me then." The burly man released his grip on my shirt but his piercing gaze remained on me and a small smirk formed on the corner of his mouth, fairly certain that I was lying and couldn't wait for me to uncover my lies in front of everyone.
A small rustle came from the curtain beside us and Lisa stuck her head out with the curtain still neatly closed.
"He isn't lying. He's my friend," She spoke out for me in front of everyone, I met her gaze and mouthed 'thank you' to her. She simply nodded in response.
Just as I thought I'm finally able to leave, the burly man who still had his suspicions toward me suddenly sounds off.
"Miss, thank you for speaking out for your friend here but I am still waiting for the proof."-The burly turned his gaze back to me- "All he had to do is show me the rat and he's free to leave. If not, I might need to call the cop on him." He rested his arms on his waist, tapping his feet incessantly on the floor, determined to pursue this matter to the end.
"Okay. Okay. I will show you the rat." I let out a long breath, reaching for the zip on my sling bag with my trembling hand.
Pulling the zip of my bag, time seemed to go slower with the more I pulled, a trickle of sweat beading down my face.
*Chi Chi* *Chi Chi* *Chi Chi*
All of a sudden, a chirping voice resounded from my sling bag before my bag began to shake uncontrollably. My sling bag was protruding left and right, up and down like an alien was about to burst out of my bag.
"There's a rat in it! Get him out! GET HIM OUTTTT!" A random woman in the crowd with both of her hands on her cheeks screamed at the top of her lungs, making all the women around her feel anxious again and they all began to make the same demand, urging the burly man to send me out of the changing room.
The man gritted his teeth and shot me an enraged look but with the voice of displeasure getting louder and him not willing to alarm the management of the convention. He had no choice but to let me go, escorting me out of the changing room.
Reaching the exit of the convention, I texted Lisa if I should wait for her to head home together but she rejected, telling me to head home first and also not to tell anyone in the family that she is cosplaying.
I walked down to the subway full of perplexed thoughts, wondering to myself what's so bad about cosplaying that Lisa wouldn't tell anyone in the family.
