Comic Convention

Dearest Princesses,

We visited the Comic Convention at Suntec City today.

We saw lots of people in costumes walking around. Most of them were dressed in attire worn by characters in comic books, movies, etc. Both of you were fairly intrigued by most of these people and their costumes.

While we were walking around, came a booth manned by members of the local chapter of the 501st Legion - a group of people who are fans of the movie franchise 'Star Wars'. This movie series is something that both of us are fans of. Papa has most of the novels based on the characters in the movies. We also have a few toy replicas of the ships and such from them.

Anyway, there were a few members of the 'Legion' dressed in the Imperial Guard, TIE Fighter Pilot and Storm Trooper uniforms. They were willing to have a photo taken with anybody who donated a sum of money for the 'Make-A-Wish' Foundation. As we were fans, we decided to have a photo taken with them and donate a bit of money as well. The problem was that both of you got very scared by the costumes! Ashley, you started crying and Skyler, you kept on trying to get away though both of us were carrying both of you.

We quickly had our photo taken and dashed off so that you both would calm down. Poor Darlings. You must have been so frightened by the fact that you couldn't see the faces of these people as they were hidden by their helmets.

Oh well, hopefully, we can introduce you girls to these characters in the future so that you won't be so frightened by them.

Papa and Mama love you both lots!
