Fandom High Graduation Ceremony, Class of 2015, Early Saturday Evening [Part 1]

[bigdamnprincipal]

Right after sunset, to make sure all types of guests could safely attend, the ceremony for graduation was ready to go. The lawn of the school had been lit up with blue and gold lights, creating safe paths for everyone to get to the seating area. There were blue and gold streamers flapping peacefully in the breeze, and of course, the makeshift paths were covered in glitter.

Look, if the supply wasn't going down, Zoe was just going to embrace the glitter madness for the sake of her own personal sanity.

Congratulations, Class of 2015! You made it to graduation day! Now you just had to get through the ceremony. At least nothing looked oddly out of place this year?

It was kind of weird to be up here and even weirder to have his mother out in the audience. Most of his attention was on her well being while he stood silently, waiting to walk.

"Your mom looks good," Isabelle told him quietly from beside him. "She looks well."

Meanwhile her dad was sitting a little stiffly in the audience. She had so far not felt inclined to point him out for anyone.

"Mm. I hope that holds," he told her, keeping his eyes on the audience. "Faster I can get off this stupid stage, the better I'll feel."

"It'll be over soon." And she was looking forward to that. More than she was comfortable admitting. "This senior class isn't even very big."

"Suppose so." He took a breath and rubbed his face before looking over at her. "Congratulations on graduating."

Isabelle leaned over to give him a very quick kiss. It was what came naturally when she felt like being reassuring. Or felt like needing reassurance. "You too, baby. Congratulations."

"Thank you," he returned, picking up one hand and giving her knuckles a kiss. "Have fun crossing the stage and getting your diploma. Guess I'll see you on the other side?"

"Oh, you better." She gave his fingers a squeeze. "Because if you're not spending the night with your mom ––" Because considering his mother's health, she knew that was a possibility. "–– you're spending it with me."

"I'll see how she is after all this and let you know," he told her. "But, let's go ahead and get this over with so I can sit down. I hate being on stage."

Isabelle gave his hand another squeeze.

And then she let go of it, and turned to brace herself for the trek across the stage.
