fandomhigh | Fandom High Graduation Ceremony, Class of 2008, Saturday Afternoon (Part I)

The sun was shining over the front lawn of the school (except for the part of the bleachers covered by an awning, in case anyone with sun issues had shown up), and the temperature had thankfully turned out to be perfect for the occasion. There was a stage placed prominently on the lawn, set up with a podium and a number of heavy metal chairs for the administration and guests. In front of the stage were platforms with more of the metal chairs; they'd been painted blue and gold, and were sitting empty and waiting for the arrival of the class of 2008. There were bleachers on each side of the platforms, for students, family, friends, alumni, and residents of the town who wanted to come and watch.

Alas, it was time for another class to graduate.

[OOC: ~~If you ping in before the OCD is over, I will end you and all that you love. Ahem.~~ OCD is done, go and rock out! This post is for audience mingling and general graduation stuff. The requisite WTF-y part of graduation will be posted later. Like last year, 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.]

Peter looked around at his classmates and the assorted guests before starting to speak. You didn't speak until there was dead silence, General Oreius had taught him that.

"I've been honoured the past two years to be the classmate and comrade in arms of all of you," he said, addressing the senior class. "It's been a long and always interesting journey that we've been on, and, to be trite, it's safe to say that none of us will ever forget Fandom and the people we've met here." His eyes settled on Willow for a long moment then he stood up even straighter. "So I suppose that's what I'd say - and I'll say it quickly, what to take with you. It's not the dinosaur and troll and children invasions that make this school, this island special. It's the brothers - and sisters - in arms who will stand up for anything, yield for nothing, and run full speed into a brick wall if it would help a friend. I'm honoured to have been part of this class and this school, and that's something that will never leave me."

"Stay true, all of you, stay honourable, and do you ever need a blade in a hand and a friend at your side, call upon me."

Peter grinned, apparently done with the serious part. "And if you forget everything else, remember this. Stickbugs RULE Always!"

A large section of the audience rose up and applauded and cheered. A banner shot up proclaiming "STICKBUGS FOREVER!"

This was then followed by a chant of "STICK-BUGS! STICK-BUGS! STICK-BUGS!"

Granted that portion of the audience was just Jamie Madrox duplicates but that's not important.

Willow grinned a big ol' grin when Peter looked at her, then facepalmed when he got to the end bit.

Well if he was a dork, at least he was her dork.

Parker laughed and snapped a picture, then applauded hugely. Who said kings had to be boring orators?
