Fandom Invasions Class #7 (Thursday period 3)

[demons-death.livejournal.com]

When the students filed into the Danger Shop they found two young girls standing with John in the usual lecture spot.

"Hi," the older one said, bouncing a little on her toes. "I'm Susannah Lynn and this is my half-sister Grace. Dad asked us to help him with this class since it's all about us.

"See, there was this big swirling thing, a..... vortex?" She looked up at John for confirmation of the word, grinning when he nodded and then continuing. "And a bunch of us kids got pulled through it and came to Fandom and got to meet our parents before they were our parents. It was really freaky and a little scary, but it was also a lot of fun." She giggled. "Seeing everybody's face when they realised we were their kids was really really funny.

"It was so much fun, that Dad decided that you should get a chance to play too! Isn't that great?" She turned and looked up at John again. "This is where you take over, right?"

John smiled and nodded. "It is. Thanks, Susannah." He addressed the class. "Fandom is always throwing the unexpected at you. And sometimes that isn't a hostile invasion. Sometimes it's the next generation. The object this class isn't to fight the invaders, but look after them. Keep them amused, fed, make sure they go to bed on time... you know. Be parents. And then make sure they get back to where they're supposed to be."

Grace pulled on John's pantleg. "Daddy? I wanna colour!"

John picked her up and smiled wryly at the class. "Sometimes it's easier to just beat something up."

"Pizza!" JJ shouted, trying to knock Maria out of the way for the second snack pack. Yay! Sugar! "Pizza with meat!"

"Okay, you two, lemme start on the pizza, and you wait over there," he pointed at the couches, "so you don't get burned on the stove or covered in flour or something."

Pan. Can of rolls for bread. Tomato paste and ketchup for sauce. Yep, that's good eatin'.

"Daddy! Don't forget to put meat on the pizza!" Maria was busy tussling with her brother over the fate of the snacks. "We're growing kids, you know."

"Right, right," he said, fishing out a container of hamburger patties...that were about to become hamburger pizza ingredients. Ooh, cheese!

He looked back at them. "Don't kill each other."

"We won't. It's all in the reflexes!" she laughed, pouncing again. "Surrender, JJ!"

"Never! Not even if you shake the pillars of heaven!" he shouted back, wrestling over the snackies.
