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

Yes, there were even more tents on the other side of the lawn.

Yes, the tables and chairs that had been set up there were still close to the ice cream.

Priorities are very important here at Fandom High.

By this time, Elle was concerned about her heels and didn't want to ruin them, so she was sitting, legs crossed, feet bare. Bruiser was on his leash and found a nice patch of grass to snooze on.

So far it's been a super exciting day.

Fiona couldn't help looking at Elle. She looked... so very much like her aunt Dallas.

The dog was new, though.

Elle looked back and raised her hand, waving at the other girl. "Hi!"

...sounded a bit like her too.

"Hi," she said, venturing a little closer.

"New?"

"Yes! I'm Elle Woods and this is Bruiser Woods, but aw, the little fellow is all tuckered out. He's been getting super amounts of attention today! Are you new?" Elle didn't remember seeing her on the bus this morning, but there were many that she failed to meet.

Fiona shook her head.

"Not new. Well, new but I came last term. Earlier in the summer."

She held out her hand for a shake, her smile a little dull but she was trying. It was harder to pull up positive emotions when the nervousness was there.

"Fiona Post. It's very nice to meet you. Both."

Elle stood and her perkiness was obvious in her handshake and easy smile. "What a pleasure it is to meet you, Fiona. Would you like to sit and join me? I'd love to hear what you think of this place. Everyone seems to generally have the same opinion and weird comes up a lot." She smirked. "I can't find the weird yet so I get it. It's all about teasing the new kids!"

The girl's perkiness was infectious and even Fiona was smiling by the time she got the invitation. She sat down, careful of her dress, before listening to the rest of what she said. By the time Elle was done, Fiona was shaking her head.

"Not really. Weird stuff does happen. And some people break the traditional laws of reality" swallow "myself included. People are probably just trying to make sure you're prepared."

Crossing her legs, she grinned at her new friend because Fiona was totally her new friend. "You're totally not teasing me? I've considered cameras tucked away recording the new kids and their conversations with the established kids, then having a huge school assembly to show everyone just how gullible we can be. It would be super funny, I know."

She was reasonably sure it wouldn't be funny, but she kept that to herself.

"I'm not. Promise."

She thought for a moment before deciding that she could show her something nice instead of scaring the life out of her. Her hand reached into her purse and soon enough, pulled out the silver rose.

It was as real as a blossom picked from any rose bush, but the color of the petals was the purest silver, the light reflecting off of it ensuring it was no ridiculous paint.

"See? Bet you've never seen anything like this before."

It was hard to imagine weird. Turtle mentioned the giant mutant alligators, but Elle's brain pictured that in little boys' color books, or on TV when someone wanted to watch a super cheesy horror flick.

This would take some time to think about.

For now she concentrated on what Fiona was doing. Her gasp was delightful. "That is super gorgeous! Where did you get it?"

Robin didn't want to wake the dog, so he said hello to Elle somewhat quietly.

Omigod, what a cute little robot thing! "Hi, there!" She wondered who was manning it.

"Hi, I'm Robin. What's your name?" ~~Jerry Nelson~~ No one was manning him.

"I'm Elle Woods and it's a pleasure to meet you!" So cute. The voice thing was amazing.

Robin was so glad to meet someone who wasn't freaking out. Hee. "Pleased to meet you Elle. Where are you from?" He stuck out his ~~hand~~ flipper to shake.

"I'm from Bel Air, California," she replied politely, feeling pleasantly amused by the one behind the control box. "Where are you from?" she asked as she shook his tiny, soft hand thing.

"The Florida Everglades, but I spend a lot of time in LA. I've been to Bel Air once or twice, it's really pretty."

"The Everglades? Isn't that like swamps and stuff?"

"That's part of it, but there a lot of waterways and stuff too." Okay so it was mostly swamps. But he was a frog after all."

"Hello," Eleanor greeted. "Nice dog."

"Aw, that's super sweet of you to say, thanks! He's just a bit tired right now. I'm Elle Woods. New. Are you?"

"Not quite as new, I arrived at the beginning of summer. And I'm Eleanor Robinson." She smirked, "There seems to a number of us with similiar names. My roommate is also Eleanor, but she goes by Ellie."

"Oh! I've met her! She's super sweet and we have plans to visit the spa!" She was perky excited! "There is also another new student I met earlier this morning and her name is Elle too. How fun is that?"

"I think there are going to be a number of confused people around the school," she laughed.

"What is a spa?" Somehow, this tidbit had escaped her notice.
