Fandom Invasions Class #3 (Thursday, period 3)

[demons-death.livejournal.com]

When the class arrived at the Danger Shop, they found John frowning at the room's remote as he hit several buttons. Finally, with one last frown he put it aside and addressed the class.

"Good morning," he said. "It seems like the Danger Shop's projectors are being a little cranky, but we'll muddle through as best we can.

"Last week we talked about common dangers of Fandom that can pop up unnannounced at any time. This week, we'll be focusing on special events. Now not every special event ends in an invasion -- most of them run more or less smoothly and without incident. But some of them have more... exciting conclusions that were originally planned.

"Take this past May's graduation." John pressed several buttons on the remote, his frown deepening when nothing happened but a slight whine. He sighed. "Which apparently we will be discussing without visuals. During the graduation ceremony, aliens came down and blew up the school. Yes, aliens. Yes, I know how far fetched that sounds. Welcome to Fandom. Luckily, the graduating seniors were able to drive them off, and the summer was spent rebuilding the school.

"But since the Danger Shop doesn't seem to want to relive that particular trauma, we'll move on to our inclass activity today." He hit a few more buttons on the remote and breathed a sigh of relief when the room changed into a gokart track. "Last summer one of the special events they had was a gokart race. As happens in Fandom, there were some uninvited guests." Shadows flew by overhead and if the students looked up they would see brightly covered, slightly quivery dragons heading for them.

"Jello dragons," John said with a grin. "They're attacking the gokart race and you have to repel them by any means." His grin turned wolfish. "Have fun."

"Says you," Peter said. And then went for the tickle.

The jello dragon wasn't used to being ignored. It stomped closer and cleared its throat meaningfully.

Peter looked to see where that noise was coming from.

Claire had been squealing louder at the tickle, writhing away, but now she turned as well, and eyes the dragon.

"Yeah, I think we're supposed to fight it or something."

The jello dragon smiled at it. It wasn't a pleasant smile. Wobbly as jello tended to be, but not pleasant.

"Look!" Peter pointed behind the dragon. "Hot water!"

Claire covered her mouth with her hand and tried not to laugh.

The dragon was not too bright, its brain being made out of jello. So it completely fell for it, turning its head to look behind itself.

"C'mon," Peter said. He went to tug on Claire's arm. "We can make a break for it before we get slimed again."

Claire grinned and nodded.

"Let someone else fight it," she suggested, as she began to run away.

"Sometimes that's the best policy," Peter agreed.

He left off the part about how, once she was safe, he'd probably go back in and fight more. Which was silly considering that, yanno, she already knew that from experience.
