fandomhigh | Fandom High Graduation Ceremony, Class of 2012, Early Saturday Evening (Part 2)

Were you all enjoying your graduation, children? Ingvar certainly hoped you were. It was so much fun, after all! Though... it could be a little more fun, couldn't it? It felt as if something was missing somehow. Something to really make it... fun.

Ingvar knew what it was.

And so, while the graduates were still on and around the stage, the earth began to rumble. Large black clouds of smoke pushed out of Ingvar's volcano and into the air, obscuring the sky and the moon. Soon, the air was covered in a thick black blanket of darkness.

The tune of the rumbling shifted.

Around the stage, clear protective walls sprung up. This was not Fandom's first tango on graduation day, thank you. She knew how to take care of what was hers.

Unfortunately, Ingvar knew its mother well. Moments later, it began to rain: a thick downpour of familiar plastic poppets in varying levels of creepiness, but also nice, brown, fluffy ...red-eyed, sharp-clawed teddy bears. And leading the charge, teeth-first--

"DROP BEARS!"

"Oh, you did well," Luke said, "but I'm used to people being interested in what I'm saying."

Valentine only half-managed to hide her grin, though she did that half on purpose. "I was actually more interested in what the other guy had to say," she admitted.

"Polite chit-chat," Luke said. "Politicians are fluent in it."

"I'm not nearly as good at it," Valentine said, shrugging her shoulders, "while the Hegemon certainly has that ability in spades. If he wasn't so enamored with ruling over Earth, he could have had a great career in acting."

Luke's gaze sharpened. "Does he run it justly? Or just run it?"

"From what I hear," Valentine said, tilting her head slightly at the sharpened gaze, "he does an okay job. Better than I would have expected."

Although, really, she wasn't terribly surprised, not with his acting skills.

Luke nodded. "Good," he said affably. "I've had experience when it goes the other way."

"There's still no guarantee that it won't shift gears," Valentine pointed out. "I overheard that you're Ben's father, right? He's a good kid."

Luke beamed at her. "Thank you. And you were cheering for Ender, right? He spent some time with us over the summer. He's a very astute young man."
