fandomhigh | Fandom High Welcome Picnic, Front Lawn of the School, All Day: Part I

When the planning for the new semester had started, no one had really noticed that the welcome picnic would coincide with Cinco de Mayo. When the food arrived and all of it, including the desserts, had somehow ended up as a variety of Mexican food, well, it was a little too late to change anything.

Hopefully, the wandering mariachi band that had shown up wouldn't throw anyone either. It was a festive day of new arrivals, after all.

The blue and gold tables and chairs had been set out, along with nametags and the lists of Big and Little Siblings, and rooms and roommates for the new students. Assuming the shuttle arrived with all of the students and teachers in one piece, everything was set for the picnic to begin!

[OCD is up, have at it! This is part one of the picnic, specifically for meeting siblings, roommates, and teachers. The rest of the picnic is happening here and here, in an effort to keep browsers from breaking for as long as possible. Since it's outside, the picnic is open to all students, teachers, and townies!]

Peeta did seem really nice, and Fawn even managed to find a smile to offer back, but her brain was still reeling with thoughts that they made a mistake, that they thought she was a boy and that's why she was rooming with one, and that really wasn't his fault.

"I think I could believe it," she offered, "but, yeah. Totally going to reserve my judgement."

The smile grew a little bit in one corner of her mouth because she was actually attempting a joke, and it made her feel a little better. "Especially about the snoring."

"Oh believe me, if there ever was a point in my life where I snored my brothers would have done whatever they could to make it stop," he said. "They wouldn't have put up with all that."

Talking about siblings made Fawn already start to miss her home, but, at the same time, it made her feel a little bit better, especially about Peeta, since his family sounded a little like hers so far.

"Are they older brothers, or younger brothers?" she asked.

"Both older. I'm the baby of the family," he shared. "What about you and your siblings?"

"Almost the baby." Fawn gained a little bit of confidence, thinking she at least had that over Peeta. "Cookie and Cliff are older, and so's Vidamiá; she's my half-sister. And then there's Caitlin. I think she was kind of a surprise; I don't think my parents wanted any more children after me."

Because one freak was probably enough.

"Wow, that's a ton of siblings," Peeta said, shaking his head. "How do you survive?"

"Usually by just keeping out of the way," Fawn said with a small smile. "Now that I think about it, it's going to be a little weird having to share with just one other person."

"I was thinking the same thing," Peeta said. "And I doubt you'll steal my clothes like my brothers did."

Fawn ducked her head with a laugh. "Yeah," she assured him, "you don't have to worry about that. I'm not going to have to worry about you stealing mine, though, am I?"

"I don't really think I could pull off girl clothes," Peeta said, shaking his head. "I don't have the legs for it."

"And you'd stretch out all my sweaters in all the wrong ways, too," Fawn added, because that was what her sisters had always said whenever she wanted to borrow on of theirs.
