It all started when Mark scrolled through YouTube to find videos to watch. He suddenly stumbled upon a channel called Jacksepticeye on YouTube. When he read the channel name, he giggled and said, "Damn, who the fuck calls their own channel like that these days?" So, he clicked a video named "Cleverbot Evie | SHE KNOWS MY REAL NAME! | Evie is EviL".
While watching the video, Mark started laughing hard.
When Mark reached the part where "Jack" told Evie, "I don't know... Look in the frickin' mirror.", with Evie responding, "How do you know Sean?", leaving Seán flabbergasted. Mark then thought to himself, "Oh, that's his real name. I thought his name was really Jack..."
After Mark finished watching the video, he clicked "Subscribe".
Mark proceeded to binge-watch some of Seán's videos throughout the day.
The next day, Seán was browsing through his YouTube account on his laptop. He noticed that he had a notification. He thought to himself, "What could this be about?" So, Seán clicked the bell.
The notification stated:
"Markiplier subscribed to your channel."
Seán was shocked.
He then said to himself, "Markiplier is someone I look up to. He's such a good gamer... And now, he subscribed to me?" He suddenly blushed, thinking about Mark subscribing to his channel. So, he watched one of his videos named "HOT CHOCOLATE HOT TUB", which he picked randomly.
Seán laughed wholeheartedly, until he saw Mark shirtless.
He suddenly stopped laughing and paused the video. He spent 10 minutes looking at Mark's shirtless body. He then said, "Well, now I know what he's hiding under that shirt..."
He spent the rest of the day watching Mark's videos.
===TIME SKIP===
One month passed by, and Seán was sitting on his couch one day, scrolling through Instagram through Chrome.
All of a sudden, VidCon's Instagram account announced their line-up for that year. He saw Mark's YouTube name and profile photo in one of the photos they uploaded. Seán got excited and said to himself, "I'm glad that he's coming to VidCon." Then, he saw where VidCon was going to be held: Anaheim. He then asked himself, "Where could Anaheim be?"
So, Seán opened a new tab and looked Anaheim up in Google.
He found out that Anaheim was in the US. Seán thought to himself, "Let me buy a ticket to the US. And since, I do want to meet Mark, let me buy a Community Track ticket, too." So, he proceeded to buy a ticket to the US, and bought a Community Track ticket to VidCon.
Seán prepared some of his belongings as well, because he planned to do a vlog while at VidCon.
The next day, at 4:00 am, Seán woke up and thought to himself, "Today's the day. I'm gonna meet Mark." He ate some breakfast, took a shower, dressed up, and went to the airport. His flight was at 7:00 am, and he arrived at around 5:45 am.
To pass the time, he converted the money that he had with him to US dollars.
An hour later, Seán's flight arrived. He boarded the plane with other passengers as soon as his plane ticket was called. Three hours later, his flight touched down to the Los Angeles International Airport. As soon as he got off the plane, he called a taxi cab and asked the driver, "Could you take me to a hotel near the Anaheim Convention Center?"
The driver nodded.
So, Seán entered the taxi and put his belongings inside the trunk. While inside the taxi, the driver said to Seán, "You must be new to America. I've seen my children watch your videos on YouTube. And by you telling me about the Anaheim Convention Center, you must be going to VidCon."
Seán was happy to hear about it.
He then asked the driver, "Would you want me to sign anything for your children, if you have any?" The driver smiled and said, "Certainly! If I may ask, could you sign the case of my daughter's phone? I forgot to give it to her when I dropped her off to school a while ago."
Seán nodded.
The driver gave him a Sharpie, and Seán signed the phone case. 30 minutes later, the driver pulled Seán over to a Hilton Hotel near the convention center. The driver said to him, "Well, sir, here's Hilton Hotel. You should be able to walk your way through the Anaheim Convention Center here. Have fun at VidCon!"
Seán chuckled.
He then told the driver, "Thank you so much!" Seán was about to pay him with the amount shown on the driver's taximeter, but the driver said, "No, you don't need to pay. You signing my daughter's phone case is enough. I finally got to see you, and I can't wait to tell my children about it!"
Seán smiled.
He proceeded to take some selfies with the driver's daughter's phone before leaving the taxi. Afterwards, Seán got out. He went to the trunk of the taxi, and started taking his belongings out. Then, the driver drove off.
Seán then checked into a room inside the Hilton Hotel.
