Fandom High Graduation Ceremony, Class of 2012, Early Saturday Evening (Part 1)

[bigdamnprincipal]

With things back to normal - or as normal as Fandom ever got - preparations for graduation had gone into full swing. The ceremony was set for right after sunset, to make sure all types of guests could safely attend, and the lawn had been lit up with blue and gold lights, creating safe paths in which to walk to the seating area and giving everything a twinkling, serene appearance.

Of course, the staff knew that graduation was rarely a serene event, and the fact that Ingvar's volcano was being unusually active emphasized the need to prepare the seniors as much as possible. Last year's cache of weapons had been discreetly stashed in a trunk behind the podium...and yes, they'd all been properly cleaned. Who knew what dried Viking blood could do to metal?

Once everything had been arranged, the guests were let in, and all that was left was to pray everything went smoothly.

"Now, I promised myself that I wouldn't cry or anything," Deadpool started, reading off cue cards. Because that was the way to go. "Not that it was ever gonna happen, because it's just graduation and god knows you'll all wander on back here to teach or just show up and annoy me by making me read about you on radio when I could be spending my time doing nothing at all. My time is valuable, kids. Remember that."

Oh so valuable.

"So, instead of looking to the future where the world ends in December and we're ruled by our mutant overlord, APOCALYPSE, we'll look to the past and when you all were turned into dudes. Or chicks. Occasionally ponies. One memorable time into reality show contestants. Another time super old while I was still awesome looking and young despite all of it." He sniffled. "But no one cares about that. You're all just waiting to get your damn diplomas and take that next step forward to the end of days. And more power to you!"

A beat.

"Wow, that was a downer ending. Who wrote this crap?"

As Scott listened to that, he was trying to figure out if Cable and X-Force had roughed Deadpool up a little too much over the years or not enough.

It was a coin flip, really.

Was that Jonothon, scowling and sinking a little more deeply into his seat at Deadpool's emphatic mention of Apocalypse?

Why yes! Yes it was!
