Cosplay: I-Zone @ Chifest

Me: And wouldn't you know it, there's a festival today.

Goh: It's as if you timed it right.

Ash: That works.

Pikachu: Pi pika. ["Seems like it."]

Me: Yeah, uh... So anyway, this one might be somewhat different even for Ash this time around. It starts with a visit of certain "friends" in another place for some things.

Goh: Aren't they still "hot" with you? Um, "cold" to you, rather?

Me: Well, there was still free food to be had, and you know I don't like wasting food.

Ash: They really did. But then the early things dragged on a bit...

Me: Oh. Well, let's get on with the festival, then, and I'll leave this other matter for later.

Ash: So I got there (a bit late), and it was really like a big festival - at a big school! But it was also a bit... different?

Me: According to what I can find, this is actually a Chinese festival - the school is like that, you see - but they chose to have a "Japanese day" for its second day. It's a two-day thing too.
 
Goh: Let me guess - it's for bringing in people.

Me: Probably so. Anyway, since you came late, you missed a lot of the early stuff... 

Goh: ...but it looks like they're all dance groups, by the schedule here.

Ash: I guess I didn't miss much, then.

Me: That much is true, and it explains why today was called "I-Zone" (using part of "idol", of course). I hope you didn't miss meeting my other friends, though.

Ash: I met them, and I was with them for the rest of the day.

Pikachu: Pika pika. ["As usual."]

Goh: How about the stands?

Ash: A lot of them were food stands! I wish I could eat all of them. But I did try a couple of things.

Me: I do too, but we have to hold back for one reason or another. At least the ones you tried should be good. 

Ash: Yeah! And then the communities were all in the back. A lot of people gathered there.

Goh: That's nice. Also, I see "awarding" in the schedule. That must mean there was a competition.

Ash: There was, for characters - I think it was like last week, but I wasn't sure if I'd be included. I don't think I got in since I wasn't called.

Me: That's OK. It might make sense due to you (us) being late.

Ash: So everything was great! But then, yeah, there was the free food thing from your "friends", and the place was a bit far, even if it was still in town.

Me: I wouldn't blame you. I've only been there once for another purpose, and I'd prefer not to go there unless I really need to, like for this thing by sending you.

Goh: Oh, by the way, what outfit did you wear this time? We didn't talk about that last week either.

Ash: My Kalos outfit. But I think our friend needs to fix it up a little.

Pikachu: Chu pika... ["I see it..."]

Me: I noticed that too. I'll see what I can do.

Goh: This day was a mixed bag of things - the same seems to go for the festival.

Ash: Yeah. But the "friend" thing and the festival things worked out. 

Goh: I think you'd have spent more time in one or the other if they weren't together.

Ash: Sure. 

Me: Time seems to be always of the essence, whether it's this festival or other things.
