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

[bigdamnprincipal]

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.

"That sounds really American," Tara commented. "You like it?"

"It's, like, super-duper ultra-American on crack," Turtle agreed, "but I love it. It's so much fun, and, really, I love America. Capitalism and democracy are two of my favorite things."

That ... was a sentence Tara had never heard in that order from someone more or less her own age, and she blinked a few times at Turtle as she tried to see if she was being sarcastic. It didn't seem like it.

"Yay capitalism and democracy?" she tried, since it wasn't like she had anything against those things.

Turtle grinned faintly; she was used to that kind of a pause. "And I think," she offered something maybe Tara could relate to better, "the other favorite thing is chocolate."

Ah, chocolate, the universal language of teenage girls. "I like chocolate," she agreed rapidly. "My big sister, Adora? She, she told me they don't even have it at home for her. It's sad."

"Are you serious?" Turtle asked. "That girl seems like she's on a constant sugar high and you're saying they don't even have chocolate? And people say this place is weird."

Tara giggled, bringing a hand in front of her mouth. "She's super-sweet? But really, uh, blonde," she said.

Never mind that Tara had bleached streaks through her sandy hair. "But yeah. I think she was sad I knew what it was."

Hey, there was completely a difference. "Totally blonde," Turtle agreed emphatically with a nod of her head. "You're right, though, she's sweet. And she shouldn't be sad, that just means you have to help her appreciate the fact that she has it now, right?"

"I could take her out and find a flavor she hasn't had before," Tara suggested. "Like a thank you for being my fake sister."

Re: More General Mingling [Summer 2009-2]

"That's an awesome idea, actually," Turtle said, impressed.

"Thanks," Tara smiled. She was feeling more secure about this school.
