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

[bigdamnprincipal]

Despite the fact that this picnic was celebrating the new fall semester, it was still technically summer, and the weather was making that clear. It was sunny, with not a cloud in the sky, and the temperature was seasonably toasty.

With not a minute to spare, the food was ready, the tables and chairs had been spread across the lawn with just the right amount of glitter on them, and everything was ready to welcome a new batch of folks to the island!

"So they're more like little reminders," Graham noted, his head tilting with an amused, pleased sort of smile at that idea. "Like when my mother would tuck little notes into my pockets to find when I'm trying to dig out something else! I think pies are much better way to do it, though; they probably taste a lot better than a note!"

He said probably, though, in light of Charlie's description of her attempts at cooking.

"Oh, they're tasty, but when you just want to sit around in your jammies and have a piece of pie in front of the television and you instead are forced to get up and start a load of laundry two bites in because you didn't check for charms..." Charlie shook her head. "Ask first or you could be sorry."

Graham's nose wrinkled a little and his head bobbed in a sympathetic nod as if he'd ever experienced anything even remotely similar to that. "Yeah," he said. "I can see how that might be a bit of a hassle! I guess you'll just have to make sure you keep your possibly-charmed pies and your definitely-not-charmed pies clearly separated so you don't run into a nasty surprise!"

"Weeeeelllll," Charlie said, "There's always the chance that someone might accidentally stumble across a piece or two of charmed pie. If they really deserved it."

She grinned at him a little conspiratorially.

"Accidental---" And then Graham caught the grin. "Ohhhhhhhhhh."

He then nodded, firmly and knowingly, with a slightly more exaggerated than strictly necessary wink thrown in, too.

"Of course! Accidentally! Hopefully, people will be sure to proceed with caution around any particular pies of unknown origin, especially if they'd done anything particularly deserving."

"We might not want to tell them?" she suggested, bringing him into the conspiracy. "Not at first anyway. But I promise not to let you have any of the more charmed pies."

He was adorable! Charlie was going to be so happy here.

"Hmmm," said Graham, with a suspicious narrowing of his eyes at Charlie that threatened to be spoiled by the grin on his face; he lifted a finger to shake at her, as if to warn her that it would take a bit more than that to pull one over on him!

(It wouldn't, actually, not even a little).

"That sounds like something someone who'd want me to have a charmed pie would say! But I guess I'll have to just take your word for it."

(He would, absolutely and completely).

"It might just be," she admitted. But she wouldn't. He was just too marvelous. "So I guess you're going to have to decide how much you trust me."

He could trust her. A lot.

But this did not entirely rule out the occasional prank. Leopard and spots and all that.
