Fandom High Graduation Ceremony, Class of 2014, Early Saturday Evening [Part 2]
As the last new graduate sat down with their diploma, the plants around the stage began quietly rustling.
Mega-Gro - the new company that had been hired to take care of the grounds - had guaranteed that their landscaping would be the brightest, and more importantly the biggest, that anyone had ever seen, and they were not mistaken in their claim. Out of the flowers, the creatures that had been living in the foliage began to grow, and the ceramic gnomes that had been scattered throughout the plants as decorations began to grow too. Then, after not too long, they began to blink, and move.
Somewhere, Tiny was either doing a fist-pump of righteousness, or having a heart attack.
There wasn't much time before the gnomes grew to human size, and began moving towards each other to group up. True to Fandom graduation protocols, an invisible, impenetrable dome came down to separate the graduates from the rest of the audience, as giant crickets, toads, slugs, ladybugs, and other creatures poured out from between the plants.
"All winter long, we were left to weather the snow and ice and chill, while the humans stayed warm inside their homes!" one of the gnomes cried. "Now, we will be abandoned to the elements no more! Gentlemen, attack!"

Re: Graduates: FIGHT! [Grad 2014]
She threw a shield up around herself and readied the rest of her power. Bring it on, buggies.
Re: Graduates: FIGHT! [Grad 2014]
A flock of crickets gnashed angrily at her, throwing themselves at her shield. They had numbers. They could do this.
Re: Graduates: FIGHT! [Grad 2014]
Forgetting for the moment that Craft would work just as well. What? A gazillion crickets flinging themselves at you could do that to a girl.

And that was when she finally thought of Craft.
"Okay, let's see how you like this," she said, focusing and bringing a tiny ball of fire into her hand.

They tilted their heads. Did not compute.
