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

[bigdamnprincipal]

Gosh, the summer picnic was so much nicer--and warmer--than the spring one. There were tables and chairs set up in the sun and the shade, and more than enough food for everyone. Hopefully, everyone was up for socializing for a while!

[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!]

"Of course I do!" Steven said, choosing to avoid that second question for now. "You're one of only a few Gems I've ever met, and right now you're the only other Gem on this entire little island, and even though it's scary to be away from Garnet and Amethyst and Pearl and Dad and Connie, I'm going to make the best of it. And if that means being your friend whether you like it or not, well that's how it's going to be!"

Peridot wasn't getting out of this, was she?

She was still stranded, and escape didn't look like it was anywhere nearby, and...

"Fine," she said, finally, if only to get the Steven to stop being so pushy. "Fine, we're friends. What do friends do?"

She had even less experience with this than with rain, Steven. For the record.

"Well, for now, I guess that means we can hang out and... make music or play video games or help each other with schoolwork," Steven said. "And eventually there are things like parties, and pinky swears, and keeping secrets. But those are... advanced friendship stuff."

"... I don't think I'm ready for 'advanced friendship stuff' just yet," Peridot said, maybe a touch dryly. She was already concocting schemes for a daring escape to... somewhere. She'd figure out where eventually. "What are video games?"

This was a tragedy, right?

"You don't know about video games!?" Steven said like this was the most tragic, outrageous thing he'd ever heard.

"I really hope they have an arcade here. There's way more to video games than what I have in my backpack."

Re: General Mingling [Summer 2016]

"An arcade," Peridot echoed. "Which is for video games."

She squinted at the Steven skeptically.

"Which are for what, exactly?"

"Fun?" Steven said, because what else would they possibly be for?

Re: General Mingling [Summer 2016]

You were just getting a blank, kind of flat look now, Steven.

Fun?

Why?

Re: General Mingling [Summer 2016]

"This is worse than I thought," Steven said, totally worried. "You don't even know what fun is!"

Re: General Mingling [Summer 2016]

"I don't see the point," Peridot countered. "Why waste time when I can be doing something productive instead?"

"I know how to fix this!" Steven said, pulling his cheeseburger backpack off of his back and starting to rummage through it.

"Wait, did I not... Oh, I put it in Lion, that's right."

Steven crossed his arms. "I will solve this with the power of music later," he said. "Don't worry, Peridot. It'll all be okay."

Re: General Mingling [Summer 2016]

[era_two_triangle]

Somehow, Peridot wasn't all that concerned.

"Well, great. Perfect," she drawled. "I can hardly wait to see how the power of music makes something about video games better."
