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.

"Miss Adams," Peter said, with a polite inclination of his head that he'd gotten a lot of practice out of. "I know this has to be a little... odd."

"We're at a high school graduation. No one is going to be taking your picture," Petra contributed, rolling her eyes at him. "Professionalism isn't needed, no matter how much you love it."

Wiggins and their ridiculous need for distance messing with her life.

"Some things never change, eh?" Natalie noted with mild wryness. "And I go to school in Fandom. Trust me, I've dealt with odder things."

"I've heard a little about that," Petra said. "But only a little. Ender isn't a very elaborate correspondent."

'A very elaborate correspondent'? "So you're going to be polite to her?" Peter asked.

Then realized that he was still in public and this was no place to UST argue.

"Look, we didn't mean to bother you," he segued. Politeness was good.

... Wow, some things never did change, did they?

"So your politeness is still a work in progress," she noted because she couldn't help herself. Maybe she'd blame it on watching Peter and Petra's interaction, and the vague way it reminded her of... other people.

It wasn't something she'd bother dwelling on. "I'm not bothered. Nice to meet you both."
