Fandom High Graduation Ceremony, Class of 2013, Early Saturday Evening [Part 2]

[sith_happened]

As the last graduate took his seat with his diploma, a faint rumble rattled the folding chairs.

The noise grew louder and the tremors grew worse and true to Fandom graduation protocols, a invisible, impenetrable dome came down to separate the graduates from the rest of the audience.

The rumble faded away into uneasy silence.

Then:

"Dig...Lett...DIG!"

Now might be a good time to see what's in those ACME boxes, grads...

"Or a lot." She was going to take a book with her to Baltimore, yeah. She trusted Portalocity about as far as she could throw it, right now.

But she just looked at him for a second. Then she nodded, slowly. "Thank you. For being nice."

Sam shrugged a shoulder.

"Go wait for your parents, Natalie," he told her with a nod towards the causeway. "Have a good night with them. You deserve it."

She did, didn't she?

For lack of a better thing to do, Natalie reached out and gave his shoulder a light squeeze. Then she let go, and nodded, and turned, and weaved her way through the crowd, away from him.

Graduating had not gone at all like she'd expected it to.
