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

[bigdamnprincipal]

With all the rain that had blown through earlier in the week, the school administration had been worried that welcome picnic day would be wet and gloomy. Thankfully, it was sunny, warm, and beautiful outside, and everything had been set up just in time for the shuttle of new folks to arrive. There was a buffet table of food and drinks waiting, along with the list of Big and Little Siblings, the list of roommates, and more name tags than they'd probably need for three picnics.

Also, there wasn't a single flower out on the lawn after last weekend. Just saying.

With everything in place, it looked like it was time for the first summer term to begin!


[OCD up! This is part one of the picnic, specifically for meeting siblings, roommates, and teachers. The rest of the picnic is happening here. Since it's outside, the picnic is open to all students, teachers, and townies!]

Kate nodded. "Yeah, I did..."

She ended up gesturing at Pinkie's face, for want of a better description.

"... that, already, five years ago. But, thanks! It's pretty new, being on this side of things." To say the least. And then something occurred to her. "So, wait, you're a teacher too?"

"Yuppers! I teach about friendship. And sometimes baking. Or art. Or teamwork! This summer, I'm teaching a games class. What are you teaching?"

"How to be awesome."

And that was the first time she said that today without feeling ridiculous. So, congrats, Pinkie, for at least making Kate feel somewhat normal.

"Just... being awesome."

"That sounds super neat!" Pinkie said. Admittedly, she would have said that whatever Kate said she was teaching, but she'd've meant it no matter what, too. "You must be extraspecial good at being awesome, then."

"I'm pretty good," Kate replied. Not the kind of cheerfully smug boasting she liked to usually do, but still okay. "I mean, I made it through to graduation from Fandom High, and still dared to come back to try my hand at teaching so I'd say I'm pretty awesome, yeah."

"Well, if you ever need any advice on being a teacher instead of a student, you know just who to ask." Not that Pinkie had ever been a student in Fandom.
