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!

"We're called Jedi," Anakin said with a little smile. "It explains the whole--" he gestured to his Jedi robes, "--look. Or it does to beings from my galaxy."

"I'm still getting used to that part of it." As she'd only had it explained as a reality and not just a theory today. But she was rolling with those punches admirably. "What sort of... reality? Do you come from?"

"One where space flight is commonplace," Anakin said. "We inhabit a vast galaxy with many trillions of different life forms. The Jedi are the guardians of peace for the galaxy and have been for thousands of generations." He smiled quickly. "I came here as a student years ago to learn about this new universe and I've stayed to teach."

Well. More or less.

More or less, Anakin? Really?

"That nice of a place, huh?"

"It's fascinating here," Anakin said. "It's an interdimensional nexus and we get students and teachers from everywhere and almost any time. I enjoy the challenge."

"Well, I'll be right there with you on enjoying the challenge." Or just not giving up on a fight if she could help it.

"It was a pleasure--" sure, he'd go with that because 'deeply confusing mindfuck' was probably a lot to drop on her, "to meet you, Jane Foster. May I check on you to see how your first class went?"

Make sure she didn't disappear halfway through, etc., etc.

Would this end in stalking from afar? Would it, Anakin?

"That would be nice of you, teaching buddy," she replied, with a bit of joking solemness for the 'teaching buddy' title. "And it was also nice to meet you too, Anakin Skywalker."

And he was suddenly nine years old back in a junkyard on Tatooine and wondering if the girl in front of him was an actual angel.

"I'm a person and my name is Anakin--"

He gave Jane a slightly pained smile and all but scurried off.
