Fandom High Graduation Ceremony, Class of 2022, Early Saturday Evening

There were normal traditions, and there were Fandom traditions, and having this party get started right around dusk was definitely a Fandom tradition. As the sun went down, the finishing touches of decorations were made; the lawn of the school had been lit up with blue and gold lights, and there were chairs set up for all of the graduates, along with plenty of seats for guests to come and watch. There were more people here than usual with families, alumni, and the island's latest guests, but that just meant having more folks around to celebrate the graduates. Surely, that wouldn't end poorly.

Congratulations, Class of 2022! You made it!

It turned out that sitting in folding chairs at sundown to watch high school kids graduate was just as boring in Fandom as it was in Wichita. Kara scratched at her head under her amazing beanie and sighed. "When does the invasion part start already?" she muttered.

"Uuugh, this is so boring," Nonny said, not even trying to be quiet about it. Sorry everyone around her. "Nostalgia is a hell of a drug if I thought any of this was fun."

"I mean, it's fun," Megan said. "But there have been much better graduations. Is there even an actual threat anymore?"

"I miss Angelus and his leather pants," Kara sighed.

"The first seasons were better," Nonny had to admit. "Messy, but there was a rawness there, you know? Like an indie quality."

"You know what we need? Underworld demons," Megan decided. "Imagine how much cooler that would be."

"They haven't done demons before, have they?" Kara said. "Well, aside from Bel. And Lucifer."

"New one or old one?" Nonny asked, leaning forward to lean against the chair in front of her. Mostly just to look cool.

"They both count," Megan decided. "Or ooh! What about battling their personal demons!"

"That's too much like baggage day," Kara declared. "It needs to be one giant demon."

"How about a big snake demon?" Nonny suggested with a grin that implied she was totally doing this to mess with someone. Possibly Buffy fans.

"I love it," Megan said. "I feel like I've seen it but that could make it like, a classic." And if people felt compelled to throw out quips when fighting, well that just made it better!

"A giant snake demon would be amazing," Kara sighed. "And a tribute and not a total ripoff, unlike some people's novels." Sorry not sorry, Megan.

And that was when the bleachers groaned. That was probably bad, right?

"Uh... guys?" Wasn't that supposed to be on the stage and not where they were sitting? Considering Nonny not a fan of being in the action.

The bleachers rumbled. Then they began to shake, as if something-- something too-big for them was pushing its way to the--

A massive, lizardlike thing burst forth from the bleachers, knocking everyone off in all directions and sending pieces flying off the walls. It threw its head back and roared, full of malicious intent, and...

...did it have a red ponytail?

It absolutely had a red ponytail. It was also wearing a leather jacket.

"ROWR!"

It was here to eat you.

Is this scary? Is this copyright infringement? ¿Porque no los dos?

At first, Summer was kind of wondering if she should be offended about the whole red ponytail thing, but then she realized, with a gasp of shock and amazement, "I think that monster is my GIRLFRIEND!"

Now there was a fic for you!

"Oh wow," Megan said. "This is so realistic!"

"I'd wondered what the budget was for this year," Kara said. "I had assumed Anakin had demanded a higher salary."

Hey graduates, you might want to deal with this! Or you can leave it to the people who made this mess happen in the first place. There's so many options!

“ROAR!”, Jesse… roared.

She was quite large, and smelled a bit as if she’d just been in a monster flower basement for the past day, because she had been. But also she had claws! And teeth! And a ROAR!

So Megan didn't think that this was going to go very well with these graduates, so she decided since this was all fake anyway, it couldn't be that hard!

"Hey you!" Megan yelled. "Pick on someone your own size!"

This was so cool she forgot she was supposed to be too cool for this.

What… what did she mean by that? Because as the Jesse Monster turned to look at Megan, the human looked… distinctly smaller than her size.

Not that the Jesse Monster cared. She roared – “ROOOOOOOOOW!” - and swung her tail at the weird creature.

"Eep!" Megan said, ducking to the ground until the tail had passed over her.

"That was like, really realistic!"

Jesse Monster threw her head back and „ROO ROO ROO ROO!”

Well. That was a roar, of sorts?

She stomped towards Megan, the ground shaking with each step.

"Nope!" Megan called, freaking out a little. "Nope! Cut!"

Aw look, it was making noises! Jesse Monster leaned down and tried to grab Megan with her paw.

Something weird poked at the back of her big monster head, but she ignored it.

"Nope! Nope!" Megan cried, trying to get under a seat, but not very well. "No more monsters for me!!"

You ruined a perfectly good mayor is what you did. Look at her, she's got ~~anxiety~~ fangs.

Kara might not be athletic at all but that didn't mean she wasn't trying to run right now. "Should've. Worked. Out. Ever--" she panted as she moved through the chairs.
