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

[stars_and_money]

It was a new year, and with the new year came the new spring term, and Fandom High was all set to welcome its new students, along with those just returning from holiday trips home. It was a familiar setting for the latter bunch: there was the requisite bonfire, with tables and chairs scattered around it, as well as the buffet table with moldable warm food and drinks.

And of course, name tags and lists of Big and Little Siblings as well as roommates. Yep, the weather was okay for early January, and Fandom was all ready to celebrate the start of a new term.

[OCD up! 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!]

Okay, weirder things had happened to Jack than being swept to some airport, wandering onto the shuttle, and then finding out that there was a table with a nametag sitting on it waiting for him. And a sibling assignment. And a room. And a class schedule.

But hey, some Tony kid was assigned to explain what the heck was going on, here? Jack didn't really expect much to come of that, considering he hadn't been seen by mortal eyes in his entire 300 years, but it would probably be interesting to see what happened.

He was looking pretty amused as he wandered around, checking nametags to see which of these poor schmucks had been paired off with the 'imaginary' kid.

That poor schmuck was looking around, trying to find 'Jack Frost'. Which, you know, sounded kind of like a villain name.

Just sayin'.

"Jack Frost? Is there a Jack Frost here?"

Hey, there was nothing wrong with a little good-natured mischief, was there?

"That'd be me, right here," Jack said, sauntering up to Tony, standing right in front of him, putting one hand on his hip, and smirking. "You know, the guy you're staring at?"

He wasn't expecting much in the way of conversation from this one.

HE STARED AT NOTHING. STOP MOCKING SCIENCE, YOU.

"Anyone? Aaaanyone?"

STARING STRAIGHT AT JACK, TONY. STICK THAT IN YOUR SCIENCE COOKIE AND EAT IT.

"Man, talk about unobservant." Or, you know, just the sort to think logically. Which was almost the same thing, right? "I bet you don't believe in North or the Tooth Fairy either, do you?"

Did it feel a little colder all of a sudden, Tony? That chill in the air was your new sibling's hand, an inch in front of your nose, waving back and forth.

Don't make him nip at it.

HEY. HEY. HIS SCIENCE COOKIE BROUGHT ALL THE NERDS TO THE YARD.

Tony was the type of kid to have rigged up a camera in order to catch his dad leaving him money for his teeth. So...

With a shiver, Tony peered around again. "Maybe he's coming later."

IT HAPPENED SOMETIMES.

"Yeah, yeah," Jack sighed, shaking his head and putting his hand into the front pocket of his hoodie. "Later."

See, Tony, now Jack was the saddest, most disappointed scrawny embodiment of winter fun ever.
