fandomhigh | Fandom High Graduation Ceremony, Class of 2011, Saturday Early Evening PART 2!

Once all the graduates had returned to their seats, with their diplomas, Zoe turned to address the audience.

“Ladies and Gentlemen, may I present --- ee da tuo da bien!”

No one should translate that. Just know that it wasn’t Chinese for ‘funky looking red and green spacecraft twice the size of the school that just zoomed in to hover above the lawn.’

A beam of eerie green light shining down from it, straight onto the stage, and from that pool of light stepped... no, surged, a horde of men in hairy, horny helmets, waving battle axes and growling in ...something Nordic? Eric could tell you, if he could make it to the stage, but unfortunately ? Not so much.

Those other beams of light that shot from the ship took care of that issue. Both the audience bleachers and the area of the stage roped off for the faculty were enclosed by shimmering fields of energy that let air and light through, but were frustratingly solid to the touch.

Sadly for the graduates, there was no annoying force-field separating them from the hairy-hatted men -- who were headed straight for the Fandom High Class of 2011.

The battle over, Leia went looking for her family. She hoped Luke wasn't horribly traumatized by meeting them and the graduation fight.

"So you've had a busy day," Jaina greeted her with a smile. "Congratulations!"

"Thank you," Leia said. "Fortunately after watching you graduate last year I knew something would happen. At least I didn't have to sing."

"I would have traded ceremonies with you in a second," Jaina sighed. Fight a Viking? Sure. Turn into a child and a kitten and sing? No, let's not.

"But at least last year I got to be older for you for a short time," Leia pointed out with a grin.

"Hey, if you want to figure out a way to go home for ten years and come back a slightly more normal age to me, that'd be fine," Jaina smiled. "Are you sticking around for a while?"

"For awhile at least," Leia said, nodding. "The Rebellion doesn't have a stable base set up yet, so everyone thinks it's safer for me to be here until they do."

"Probably smart," she nodded. "And I kind of like knowing you'll be around for a while when I visit." Especially since Jaina had a feeling that when started work like normal, and Leia started doing her thing like normal, they might not cross paths that much here.

Shhhh, someone still had a childhood issue or two.

"Visit?" Leia repeated. "You're going away again?"

"I'm going back home next week," she said, wincing a little. She'd been talking about it, which meant she tended to forget that everyone knew. "Tonight's my last night at work here, and I'm back on mission with the Jedi probably as soon as I get there."

"Nothing dangerous, I hope?" Leia said, frowning slightly. Fat chance of that, but she was entitled to worry a little.

"Nothing you should worry about," Jaina assured her. "Nothing more dangerous than the stuff you get into, at any rate."

"And I suppose you can't tell me any more than that?" Leia said.

She had to ask. She was never going to stop attempting to find out tidbits about the future, especially considering what they all hadn't told her.

"I could," she said slowly, "but I think it'd ruin some of your fun when the time comes."

"We made it," Tahiri said, hurrying over to Leia. "We really, really did."

"And no singing this year," Leia said with a grin.

"Thank the Force," Tahiri agreed. "This feels weird to say, but I'm so proud of you."

"Isn't that usually supposed to be the other way around?" Leia said. "In the future, I mean."

"I wouldn't say 'usually,' exactly, but yes," Tahiri answered. "So I'm enjoying this moment as much as possible."

"Are you staying for the summer?" Leia asked.

She didn't want to see Jaina and Tahiri leave so soon, and she had to wonder how Ben was dealing with things.

"Are you all right?" Luke demanded, racing up to hug her. "If I had to go back and tell the Rebellion you got hurt fighting aliens with horned hats the Bothans would never stop laughing."

Stupid Bothans.

"I'm fine," Leia assured him. "I should have warned you about that -- something like this happens every year at graduation. But I don't have a scratch on me."

"That's what Rory told me," Luke said, trying to drop that in all casually.

"Ah, you met Rory then," Leia said. "And our father?"

And, well, himself?

Luke nodded, looking incredibly confused. "And another me? Oh, and a baby."
