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.

"The flower is supposed to be me!" Momoko bent close and fastened the bracelet, adjusting it so the wings and crown were hanging closer together.

Someone was totally a romantic, hush.

"'Momoko' means peach-girl, but I'm also Blossom, so I tried to find a peach flower!" She sighed and made a wry face. "Apparently they aren't very popular in charms, so I just found one that was cute." And pink. Duh.

"The heart," which Momoko tapped, "is totally easy. Every time you see it, you can remember that so many people care about you, no matter what you're thinking or going through. Or how alone you're feeling." Momoko remembered that feeling from when Rikku left. And then Dinah...

Since Momoko was already so close, Karla didn't think she'd mind if she got pulled in for another tight hug. The bracelet was an amazing gift; she'd put so much thought and effort and time into every charm and it was enough that Karla was blinking back tears already.

Especially with her reasoning about the heart; it was a reminder she'd needed today.

"It's perfect," she said in a hoarse whisper. "Absolutely perfect. Thank you, Momoko."
