((there's not many of these so i thought why not post one... A Random Encounters Fan fiction))

The name escaped my lips as he walked by. I doubt he even remembered me, or my name, it had been a long time time yet here he was at convention with Peter and Miss Bird from there channel Random encounters. "AJ!"

he looked around until his warm bright eyes landed on me. He smiled and began talking to Peter. There fans had begun to file into the room as he waved and pointed at me.

Aj mouthed 'one moment' before talking to peter and Miss Bird. Peter waved looking at me and i waved back as AJ announced into his microphone. "We'll be starting soon, but can we see the person in the fourth row dressed as the rhythm thief"I smiled realising he had been talking about me and got up walking up to the front of the room towards them.

I took off the fedora with a smile."Long time no see AJ, Peter" i greeted with a smile.

"id say the same thing Crete" (pronounced Kr-ee-t... rhymes with meat) "wasn't the last time two years ago at Natewantstobattle's christmas concert" he asked. I nodded moving a strand of my red hair that was going to be washed out after today. it was going to go back to black once more.

"I think that's what it was" I stated. i had gotten a little tipsy that night and ended up dancing with AJ.'the last time before that was before we both had graduated from high school. we lost touch after school had ended and found ourselves that night. it was strange and made me smile. He had always been an inspiration to me and secretly i may have had a crush on him... i was over that though.

"You wanna sit up here with us and not in the crowd?" he asked as Peter pulled up a chair. "you seem to know about Random encounters enough to place your own opinion on it" I shook my head feeling a bit uncomfortable up there. If i sat up there i could get to know them more, but if i stayed there his fans would probably start rumors. "please" he said innocently and smiled. i gave a sigh and gave in sitting down next to him. I played with the ears to his Pinkachu outfit and smiled.

"Maybe we can go to Nates concert later" I suggested with a smile.

Before AJ could disagree or agree Peter said loudly. "he'd love to Crete, you two can go as characters from Rhythm Thief"

I chuckled softly. "Ok Napoleon, i'll take the inspector to the concert" I joked softly. soon after that AJ and then started the panel. I smiled happily as sure enough people began asking about me.

"AJ is that girl your girlfriend?" Someone asked. I blushed, ok maybe i still did like him a little but on well it's just a petty crush.

"No Crete and I are just good friends" AJ laughed with a smile. he seemed to blush also and I tried best to ignore it.

"Is she going to be in a musical... or can she even sing" a boy asked looking at me. If i would have known i was going to get all that attention then i wouldn't have agreed to stay up there with them.

"Can she sing? Let's see, Crete wanna sing a song with us?"

"S-sure, what one do you wanna do? or should i say what one do they want to hear." I stated knowing some of them.

"Rhythm thief, even though you're a girl" Someone called from the crowd. AJ shrugged as i gave a sigh getting up. I had a mic connected to my shirt and AJ got up to sing as the inspector. Peter pulled up the song on his phone and began playing it. i sang along with it and smiled doing somewhat of a dance with it. "The boy who duped France's finest... They call him an art thief. But I know the truth. And the truth is... I'm the rhythm thief. my name is Raphael as you can tell... I'm the rhythm thief. this coin's... my only clue to find my dad it's got a match at the Louvre! rest assured, art I've procured I'll only use for its clues and safely return! now it's time for the show hit the lights, here we go my heisting's enticingly feisty, i know!" I continued until it got to AJ's part and he danced towards me with a smile.

"Drat! that Phantom R escapes my grasp but he cannot be far... I've got a hunch he's on the move... I'll chase him down and catch him at the Louvre! you like to dance with the finest in France! well, we'll see in Paris who it is who is laughing last! today's the day you find crime doesn't pay as i grin and bring you in, thanks to vergier!" I danced along with him when he said you like to dance.

The crowd clapped as I spun around and chuckled. Peter clapped and laughed. "always been a dancer haven't you Crete" He said. I nodded with a smile. Dancing had always been a passion, I didn't want to do it for work or anything just a simple hobby was all, but it came in handy when you did youtube and sang for a living.

AJ smiled using his french accent still but just to simply talk to me. "I will catch you one of these days Phantom R." I chuckled sitting back down still blushing lightly. Peter smiled looking at me as AJ sat down and answered a few questions about their channel, for once they weren't about me.

"Crete" Peter whispered as I looked at him. 'you need to help us with one of our videos that were going to do soon' he mouthed so the crowd couldn't hear but so I could understand him.

"Hey Enis I see a vampire" Miss bird said pointing to someone dressed up as the Character Enis from there halloween musicals.

AJ looked around and Laughed saying "Where" I laughed with a smile looking at the male as he seemed to get into character quickly. I looked out at the crowd that made me smile and gave a sigh. All the fans here seemed so friendly and they all seemed to enjoy almost anything as long as it came from one of there mouths.

"Sell I'm going to have to sadly announce that's the end of the panel. I wish we could see all you guys more, but before we do we're going to give away a Yoshi Amiibo. Crete here is going to randomly pick one of the people who posted using #EncountersPanel. Peter stated handing his phone over to me with the hashtag already loaded on there. I gave a sigh closing my eyes and scrolling until my finger oped one of the tweets. I opened my eyes to see that i had clicked one of a picture of AJ and I dancing while singing.

"Ummm, @Sweet_EncountersLive is the winner" I said looking at the username. A girl with long purple and blonde hair jumped up happily waving her phone in the air. "I won!" she announced.

"Well, come up here and get your prize Miss Bird stated sarcastically. I rolled my eyes with a chuckle as she came up with her twitter page up. "Congratulations Sweet Encounters." she said handing over the yoshi amiibo.

I got up to walk out as everyone else did but felt AJ grab my jacket sleeve. "where are you going Raphael, you're not going to steal any other art pieces are you" he joked. I rolled my eyes as he let go after pulling me a little bit. "Come along with us... if your not busy I mean, we're going to go see Nate for a little bit, he invited us over to his room for a little bit"

"u-umm sure" I started blushing a bit. Was AJ Pinkerton asking for me to hang out, after only seeing him maybe three times after high school. "Ya I'll come with you" I said getting up. "Maybe I'll get to talk to peter about doing a musical with you sometime"

He smiled Happily "that'd be great" He laughed while smiling.
