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.

Hania made cheerful noises and clung to Karla's hands. People always sounded silly in her presence.

"She has grown a lot stronger," Leto commented.

"She's lovely, Leto." Karla said, tearing her eyes away from the baby to give him a fond smile. "How's fatherhood? And...everything else you're up to?"

[Never a problem!]

"Good. Very good." Well, fatherhood was, and his life with Alice. The rest - it went according to plan.

"And you, Karla?"

"It's my birthday today!" Karla said, ignoring the elephant in the room about what else today was. Sure, graduation was why Leto, Alice, and Hania were here, but it was her birthday and she could ignore that face if she wanted to.

"Then I wish you a very happy birthday," Leto replied, smiling a little. "How old are you?"

"Eighteen," Karla said, grinning a little. "Two years before the age of majority back home. But now old enough in this world to do all of the things I don't care about."
