Fandom High Graduation Ceremony, Class of 2011, Saturday Early Evening - Part One!

[prof_of_cunning]

The ceremony was once again held at sunset for the benefit of the graduates’ less diurnal guests, but the lawn was well-lit with twinkling blue and gold lights draped across bleachers, stage, surrounding trees and specially-assembled trellises, giving the overall effect of a peaceful fairy grove. (Not, say, Las Vegas. Tasteful twinkling lights.)

The staff having taken note of every previous graduation including the most recent, the lights had been purchased from Acme Decorations Studio with a money-back No Coming To Life And Terrorizing Your Party Guests Guarantee... and there was a rather large cache of weapons stashed in a trunk behind the podium. The chance that it would rain toys that could later be used for self-defense was slightly less than the chance that there would be a need for self-defense.

No one could say Fandom High wasn’t a learning experience.

Karla, already chuckling, couldn't help but laugh harder at Sookie's face. And tone. "Nonono, it's okay," she promised. "I--we--it's a running joke. From the kissing booths. And this is the last time it would be--" okay, appropriate was clearly not the right word "--allowable. Besides, I already broke the tragic news we're not running away together."

"Allowable?" Sookie repeated, still staring. "I...congrats, you have made my graduation all the more memorable, honeybunch."

"Better me than something awful?" Karla tried. "As opposed to last year, with the singing and the animals and stuff?"

Clearly, Karla hadn't had any premonitions about the space-Vikings.

And just as clearly, a change of topic was due. "Look at my skirt, Sookie! I'm wearing it for you!"

"And you look lovely in it," Sookie added sincerely. "I'll be watching your hemlines all summer, babe. You just set the standard."

"Whaaaaaaaat?" Karla wailed, suddenly looking panicked. "No, no! This is my graduation skirt! As soon as this is over, I'm running back and changing into something that hits my toes."

Except for how she was getting the sinking feeling no one would let her.

"Nope," Sookie said. "I'll guilt you if I have to. This is our last summer before I go away to college! And Emma too! You have to, Karla. Have to."

"But--but--" DAMN YOU SOOKIE AND YOUR GUILT. NOT TO MENTION YOUR WITNESSING OF THE WHOLE ROY KISSING THING. "I don't have enough skirts to last the whole summer?"

As soon as she said that, she knew she was doomed. Knew it.
