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.]

"Fewer people get hurt that way," Angel agreed.

"I don't get hurt that way," Anakin admitted.

"I... get that," Angel said. If Anakin hadn't already been through something like Angel had gone through, Angel probably wouldn't have been so willing to share. "Especially when nobody knows us as well as we do."

Anakin nodded. "I'm better off alone for the next...oh...sixty years."

"They don't let you do that around here," Angel said, a little sulky. "You can try, but folks come after you."

"Most of them are graduating," Anakin said hopefully. "Maybe the new crop will leave me alone."

"Could hide out with me," Angel offered.

Beat.

"Not on the same floor as Logan, obviously."

Anakin wrinkled up his nose. "He's still as charming as always," he said. "I ran into him yesterday at the beach. I didn't hit him!"

This? Was a major accomplishment.

"I appreciate that," Angel said. He hastily added, "The - uh - show of willpower. On your part. Which is a good sign."

Anakin was clearly not buying that. "Uh-huh."

Angel? So not good at covering for himself sometimes. "So. Nice day, huh?"

"I suppose so," Anakin said slowly. "What aren't you telling me?"

"...lots of things?"

Which had the advantage of being true.

"The Logan thing."

Anakin wasn't completely oblivious.

"He's in LA now," Angel said, though he knew full well Anakin knew that already.

"Yeah, I know that part," Anakin said flatly.

"Working with me?" Angel tried.

Anakin rolled his eyes. "Fine, don't tell me. We're not that close anyway."

Angel debated not saying anything. Then he figured if Anakin was going to trust him to help with the whole redemption thing, he'd need to know that Angel would be honest with him.

So Angel said: "Logan and I are."

Blink.

"Logan and you are..."

There's that connection.

"Oh!"

More blinking.

"Logan? Really?"

"Get in line," Angel said, rolling his eyes 'cause boy had he heard that reaction before.

"I never got that from him," Anakin mused. "Probably because he hates me, but whatever. Huh."

"He makes me smile," Angel said.

After a moment, he added, "I'm aware that's disturbing."

Anakin held his finger and thumb an inch apart. "Little bit," he admitted.

"Actually he's more like - " Angel started to gesture, then stopped himself. "Uh - anyway. It's not romance or anything. Just... nice."
