fandomhigh | Fandom High Welcome Picnic, Front Lawn of the School, All Day: Part I

Some parts of the East Coast might have been freaking out about a hurricane, but there was no such madness going on in Fandom. Sure, it was a little hot out, with the sun shining and not much breeze happening, but all the milk and toilet paper on the island was safe, and that was important, right? Besides, once the new folks started learning about their new home, there'd be more than enough freaking out to go around.

The usual main attraction had been set up first: a large buffet of food and drinks had been laid out next to all the information the new arrivals would need, and then the blue and gold tables and chairs had been arranged across the rest of the lawn. Everything was just about done when the shuttle arrived, and it was time for a picnic once again.

[OCD is up! This is part one of the picnic, specifically for meeting siblings, roommates, and teachers. The rest of the picnic is happening here and here, in an effort to keep browsers from breaking for as long as possible. Since it's outside, the picnic is open to all students, teachers, and townies!]

"That was kind of... awesome." To the point where Bo could hear herself saying it with Kenzi's voice, which wasn't worrying at all. "Though you sure you couldn't spit out that middle guy again just so I could punch him for the fun of it?"

"Oh, then you'd just have more scuzzy versions of me," Jamie said shaking his head. Then nodded at her shirt.

"So is that just a t-shirt or did something happen to the mountie?"

"He's still on the island," Bo answered after sadly deciding he was right about the punching. "Just retired from the security gig, and I kind of fell into it by accident." Right, she'd never introduced herself; she could blame that on the obvious flustering of meeting someone famous right? "I'm Bo."

"Aww. He retired?" Jamie said with a pout. "I was looking forward to mountie shenanigans."

...

"He didn't mention the time I superglued him to his office, did he?"

"No." Largely because Bo hadn't met him yet, aside from via old security footage. "But I'm starting to see why they gave your picture such a position of honor in the teachers' lounge."

"Really? I can't wait to see it," Jamie said with a grin. "I'm assuming it's a gold frame with a shrine of flowers under it?"

Judging from Jamie's demeanor it's very clear that he knows that it's on the dartboard.

"So how'd you get the security gig? Are you Canadian? Do you get to wear the hat?"

"I wrassled a vampire and won." Totally true. Fine, the vampire was a teenage girl, but still vampire. "There's a hat? I didn't get a hat. Sunglasses, but no hat."

"Oh, you got to have a hat," Jamie replied. "And wrestling a vampire doesn't sound too bad. I don't think you can swing a dead cat around here without hitting one."

"Depends on the vampire." In more ways than one, but Bo let that one drop as a straight-line, no obvious entendre attached. "This one was scrappy."

"Scrappy? Was this a vampire or a small dog?"

"It was...a kind of skinny teenager?" Anakin hadn't been lying about the insanity.

"Ugh. Those are the worst," Jamie said with an eyeroll. "It didn't emo all over you when it lost did it?"

Bo gave that a snicker. "No, the emo was reserved for after the weekend was over and she turned into a normal girl again. I don't begrudge her that one, though; not after surviving my own first big Hey Let's Screw With Fandom By Turning People Into Monsters week."

Or more accurately in her case, into a different monster, but whatever.

"That one I haven't experienced," Jamie noted. "I've been turned into a woman, into a pony, into another version of myself from another universe but never a monster. Unless you count chihuahuas. I've turned into one of them more times than I can count."

"I was a po-- a chihuahua?" Don't laugh, Bo. iCarly. Don't laugh.

"Yeah. My ex-girlfriend turned into an evil witch at one point and- Okay, point of order she was an actual witch with magical powers. Anyway she turned me into a chihuahua and ever since then I've randomly turned into on when I've been on the island."

Jamie shrugged.

"Happens to most people eventually, here."

"Everybody gets turned into a chihuahua by your evil ex?"

"Well, everyone usually turns into animal, " Jamie corrected himself. "And occasionally your SO will turn evil. The two are usually not occurring at the same time."

"Just checking on the specifics," Bo replied. "I've already been a weird mouse-thing and a pony. I wanted to make sure the chihuahua wasn't mandatory too."
