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

The weather was warm, the food smelled good, and there was a good chance the new folks were a little extra glittery. What else could go into a perfect day for the picnic?

[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!]

Hey, if people were going to freak out about aliens, better on day one, right? Vette was looking pretty at ease as she moved through the crowd, a plate full of far too much food for any one human to eat.

Pretty at ease. Maybe even pretty smug. The shuttle looked great today, hadn't it? The folded paper glittered so nicely in the sun.

Lekku wrapped around her shoulders so that they weren't within easy tugging range of curious new hands, Vette was humming and popping the occasional blueberry into her mouth, without a care in the world.

Was that a Jedi staring a hole through the back of her head right now? Maaaaaaaaaaaaybe.

And was that a Twi'lek pirate humming a little ditty and doing a twirl on the spot?

Absolutely!

... Vette was not easily intimidated. It would bite her in the ass so many times through the rest of her life.

Was that a Force-flick to her lekku? Well, yes, but at least she wasn't being moved along the entirety of the park!

Anakin decided that meant he was Growing as a Person.

Anakin was wrong.

And Anakin was absolutely having a little blue slip of a Twi'lek rounding and looking for whoever it was who had the choobies to flick a Twi'lek's lek.

And, since nobody was actually close enough to do so, that little blue slip of a Twi'lek was marching right up to him, a finger poised to wave right in his face.

"Hey, buster! Didn't anyone ever tell you that those aren't fair game?!"

Ahsoka. At length, and possibly with charts and graphs.

"You ruined my bus! Again!"

So yes, but he was going to try to bluster on past that.

"It still drives, doesn't it?"

Vette was not to be easily cowed, nope.

"I see all kinds of new students here! One of them was even sad there weren't more paper frogs at the picnic. But I don't see any of them flicking anybody's lekku!"

"I could barely see through the clouds of glitter!" Anakin exaggerated.

"Are you going to stand there and tell me that you, of all people, need to be able to see to drive?" Vette sounded utterly scandalized. "You don't even need your eyes open to shoot kids in the butt with paintballs!"

She shook her head, slowly. Sadly.

"Now I'll have to go and adjust my entire worldview again."

"Well, of course I can drive with my eyes closed, but it makes everyone else on the highway nervous," Anakin blustered.

"But does it? Does it really? Or were they just in awe of our really great decorating skills?"

Because Vette totally would've been in awe.

Or else she would've put a vehicle off the road laughing so hard.

"They were not in awe of your decorating skills," Anakin said. "How did you even get them to stay on?"

Because Anakin had done some seriously sharp turns trying to knock the Sith-forsaken things off.

"Troublemaker trade secret," Vette replied, smiling brightly. "I'd tell you, but then I'd have to up the ante."

And did you really want her upping the ante, Anakin? Did you?

Lana grinned at her. "You're in a wonderful mood. Nobody screaming about non-humans yet?"

"Not even a single accusation of being a weirdo in a costume yet," Vette chirped proudly. "And? AND? My new sibling really liked all the new decorations to the shuttle!"

Because the Drama Diamonds were up to their old shit again.

"Oh, dear." Lana snickered. "What did you do it this time?"

Vette just gave a cheerful little hum as she pulled out her phone and showed off the holographic evidence of their origami crimes.

She was so proud of herself.

And rightly so!

Lana put a hand over her mouth and tried to stifle her laughter. "Oh, that's...that is definitely something. That must have taken forever!"

"Well, we had a lot of them in strings so all we had to do was glue them on," Vette explained. "And Prompto did a lot of the folding at work in between all of that really important puppy-cuddling he has to do every day. So it wasn't all that bad, really."

"That's commitment," Lana said, still snickering. "Who was driving the bus today?"

"That would be the Dean," Vette replied proudly. "I bet he's gonna love it."

Where 'love' was code for 'hate.'

"Oh, Force!" Lana was equal parts impressed and appalled. "I'd offer to let you hide behind me, but I don't think that would do much good."

"Naaaah, I've got this handled," Vette said confidently. Because really, after 'Anakin the inflatable pool toy,' she was reasonably certain she could get away with murder. "But thanks!"

"You're insane, you do know that?" Lana was shaking her head and grinning. "Certifiably insane."

"He's a Jedi," Vette chirped. "Murdering me over some pretty paper is probably against their rules, right?"

She was reasonably certain. Besides, she was great. Who would want her dead ~~Vaylin~~ anyway?
