Fandom High Graduation Ceremony, Class of 2020, Early Saturday Evening [Part 2]

[bigdamnprincipal]

As the last diploma was handed out, there was a moment of quiet as those who had attended one of these ceremonies before waited to see what would happen.

Then, when Zoe got up to usher everyone away, the lawn was suddenly full of the island's animals--squirrels, teal deer, alots, even a few gremlins--carrying signs bearing what could only be described as squirrel handwriting.

"'We... want hats too?' 'Haberdashery for all?' Are you [microphone feedback] kidding me?!"

An angry woodchuck pushed through the squirrels and chucked a piece of wood at her, and as the barrier came down separating the graduates from the crowd, anyone close enough could probably hear, "That's not why you're called woodchucks!"

"Oh, yeah," said Rosa dryly, "you're just a regualr diamond mine, digging up gems like that."

"Well, not all of us can come up with bon mots like 'civil hat rights'."

"Brilliant," said Rosa, "I know. They should have hired me to write their signs. It's okay to be jealous. It's only natural."

"Now now, this is their fight. Wouldn't do to take their glory away from them."

"Says the man at the very center of the haberdashery exclusion that started all this," Rosa noted, with a tilt of her eyes, an accusatory squint of her eyes.

"I was just a figurehead," Duke said. "There to make sure no one, student or avian, got hurt."
