fandomhigh | Fandom High Graduation Ceremony Class of 2007 Part I

The sun was shining high in the sky above the front lawn (not that this would matter to certain members of the audience since there was a nice awning and shaded pathways). A stage was set up with a podium and several seats for the administration and guests. Off to the side of the stage, a guitar for musical performances.

In front of the stage, blue and gold chairs were set for the largest graduating class in Fandom High history (not that it was a tough record to achieve), and to either side of those chairs were bleachers for students, family, friends, alumni, and residents of the town of Fandom who wanted to wtiness this event.

It was a beautiful day for a graduation.

[OOC: ~~Please wait for OCD.~~ You're good to go! This post is mostly for audience mingling, general graduation stuff, and such. Look for Part II with your standard Fandom Surprise early this afternoon.

It'll be kind of hard to miss the events of the second post, so you might want to hold off an any post-graduation posts for a while to avoid being Jossed.]

"We're in Niagara Falls, actually," said Darrin.

"Niagra Falls," Fraser said. "Beautiful landmark. Your entire family lives there?"

"We do," said Karen. "Including Sharon, who lives on her own. Completely unattached."

"Is she usually attached to something?"

"DON'T LISTEN TO THEM, HOT MOUNTIE. I AM FINE ON MY OWN. REALLY."

Fraser frowned. And then looked at Jaye's parents. "She's told you about that name, has she?"

"She may have mentioned it," Karen said diplomatically.

He suppressed a laugh and then looked down at the phone. "Are you sure? I've got quite a few Mountie friends, after all."

"Does the school really need that much Canadian security?" Darrin wondered.

"No sir, but if your daughter is interested in Mounties, I'm a fountain of information."

"WHAT THE HELL, I NEVER SAID I WAS INTERESTED IN MOUNTIES! MOM, DID YOU TELL HIM I WAS INTERESTED IN MOUNTIES? BECAUSE I'M NOT."

"You don't like Mounties?"

"I DON'T NOT LIKE MOUNTIES... LOOK, I AM AMBIVALENT TOWARDS MOUNTIES IN A PERSONAL SENSE, OKAY?"

"I'm a very nice Mountie." Fraser's time in Fandom might've given him a small, small mischievous streak.

"See, Sharon, you should listen to the very nice Mountie," said Karen.

"OH MY GOD."

"If you were here today, perhaps you'd be able to see how nice Mounties are."

"...I'M PUTTING YOU ALL ON HOLD."

The Muzak version of 'It's Not Unusual' plays over the phone.

Fraser stood up and beamed at the Tylers. "Maybe she likes me?"

"I think so," Karen smiled.

Fraser grinned and said, Mr and Mrs Tyler, it was a pleasure to meet you. Your daughter's been very enjoyable to have in school. I wish her and you both all the best."

"It was very nice to meet you, too," Darrin said.

Karen, meanwhile, was planning to find his number to give to Sharon.

"Have a safe trip home," he said. "Tell Sharon I said goodbye and I'll be here indefinitely if she ever comes to Fandom."

Karen is cheering to herself.

Meanwhile, the music has changed to Bette Midler.
