Fandom High Welcome Picnic, Front Lawn of the School, All Day: Part I

Zoe was very impressed with how well the construction people had done in rebuilding the school, and the grounds had been cleared just in time for the picnic to welcome the new students and teachers. Tables and chairs had been set up, and there was plenty of food and drinks, along with nametags, and two signs, one listing the Big Sibling/Little Sibling pairings, and another listing rooms and roommates for the new students.

[~~WAIT FOR THE OCD PLEASE.~~ OCD IS UP. This is part one of the picnic, for specifically meeting siblings, roommates, and teachers. Part two is happening simultaneously here, in an effort to keep browsers from breaking for as long as possible. *g*]

Quirking an eyebrow at the uniform-clad boy, John smiled and walked over to him. "You wouldn't by any chance be Lee Adama, would you?"

"Maybe," Lee answered, glancing at John. "Who's asking?"

"John Sheppard," he replied, offering his hand. "If you are Lee, then I'm your big bro. If not, I'm just a nice guy you met at the picnic."

"I'm Lee Adama," he said and shook the offered hand. "Sorry, this is all new for me. Very new. Good to meet you, John."

"At least it won't stay new," John observed. "I take it your home is very different?"

"Another planet," Lee replied, waving a hand towards the sky. "Caprica. Was in the middle of my first year at the academy when I got transferred here."

"That qualifies as different," John agreed. 'Academy' peaked his interested combined with the stuffy uniform. "Some sort of military academy?"

"Yeah," Lee answered, nodding. "Colonial military."

"Cool," John replied. "I'm told Fandom is good prep for any sort of military work."

"Really?" It was hard to imagine that just by looking around at the mix of people he could see in the crowd. "All right, I can't not ask. How?"

"Well, of course the classes, like Ethics and Flight," John told him. "And then there are the monsters. And also the weird magic stuff."

"Monsters?"

His first thought was Cylons but there was no way. There was a truce, there had been for a long time and his father wouldn't have let him get sent away to somewhere like that.

"Is this a joke?"

"Unfortunately, no," John replied. "We had big prehistoric monsters attacking campus just a month or so ago."

"And this place is still allowed to stay open?"

"Well, yeah," John said. "It's not like the monsters are still around."

"Right, of course," Lee said, still processing the whole monsters things. "Attacks happen often?"

"Not often enough to send students running home," John didn't want to freak Lee out too much.

"So, you have any special skills or powers?" John was always curious about this part of getting to know the newbies.

"I can't fly or anything," he said, laughing at his own stupid joke. "Well, not without a ship."

John's ears perked up, "You fly ships?"

"Yeah," Lee nodded. "Not that I have a ship here but back on Caprica, yeah, I could fly. They wouldn't let me bring one here."

"That's too bad," John was always disappointed to hear people couldn't bring their ships with them. "I'm training to be a pilot myself, just not in space."

"Oh yeah?" This big brother thing just got better. "What do you fly?"

"Back home I flew small planes and helicopters, but here I took the Flight class and we flew X-Wings, an F-16, pod racers, speeders, swoop bikes, a Starfighter, and a large shuttle. It was great," John grinned. "That class was awesome."

"Frak," Lee said, eyes widening. "I missed that?"

"Yeah, sorry," John said. "But I hear Prof. Skywalker is pretty nice about letting trained people use the sim." Or maybe that was just Jaina.
