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

[bigdamnprincipal]

Picnic-ing in January - still not the best idea ever! But there were tables and chairs set up in the sun, and a nice bonfire going, and plenty of warm food for everyone to encourage socializing for as long as possible.

[OCD is up! This is the picnic post for general mingling. Roommates, fake siblings and teachers are all here. Since it's outside, the picnic is open to all students, teachers, and townies!]

"That," Mabel said knowingly, "depends on the kind of impression you're trying to make. Do you want people to think you're the no-fun police?"

That was almost an honest question, right there, considering Mabel was getting the impression that she was being judged purely on the grounds of her pig ownership.

On the ground of her pig ownership and her sweaters. Mabel wasn't entirely wrong.

"Why would anyone think that?" Lucille replied with near perfect innocence. "Is that what you worry about? I'm sure no one would be so cruel."

"Oh, I don't know," Mabel replied, batting her eyelashes sweetly. "I suppose that all depends on first impressions, doesn't it?"

"Perhaps," Lucille said. "I'm sorry if you feel you need to work on that, because truly, you do not."

Wasn't that reassuring, Mabel?

"Oh," Mabel replied, pausing for a moment to preen. "That's so kind of you to notice, thank you!"

Mabel was perfection wrapped up in a cute sparkly sweater, dangit! Nobody could take that away from her. Not even snarky people who didn't like Waddles!

Maybe even especially not snarky people who didn't like Waddles.

Did she never give up? Lucille was beginning to tire of not winning this conversation, so she suddenly got to her feet.

"Well, Mabel, it's been a pleasure to meet you, and I'm sure we'll see each other soon again. Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to talk to the young lady over there." She gestured at behind Mabel's back at no one in particular, and left, making sure not to stumble over Waddles.

Mabel gave Lucille a chipper sort of smile and a pleasant wave farewell.

Once she was out of earshot, she grinned down at Waddles.

"She'll come around." A beat. "Or else I'll have to send you to go eat off her plate when she least expects it."

One of those.
