Festivus in July, Fandom High front lawn, Friday afternoon

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

Sometime during morning workshops, when no one was paying nearly enough attention except those concerned, the Fandom High schoolgrounds had filled with snow.

For the record, "those concerned" meant Rory Gilmore and several dozen snow cone distributors from the mainland. But who wants to ruin the illusion? Students who were curious might assume that it was simply a Festivus in July miracle, or some such.

In the middle of the lawn stood a bare, aluminum pole. Festivus tradition, you know.

[Yes, the schoolgrounds have snow. I'm weathermodding and saying it's cool enough today through this evening for it to stick, and it'll melt overnight. And yes, we're having Festivus in July. For those not in the know, here is a handy Wiki link! Please wait for OCD. Up, yay!]

"Do you have one?" John asks. "I'd buy it off you!"

Anakin grinned. "What am I going to do with money?" he asked. "I'll give it to you before I leave. Movies are way better in three dimensions."

"Okay!" John says brightly. "And I'd totally pay you in cereal. It's the best thing ever besides Ramen."

"Who's Ramen?"

"I guess he's the guy who invented the noodles. He must've been named Ramen Noodle. Mr. Noodle!"

"There are noodles? For Festivus, or is it a hut-based food product?"

Yeah, Anakin thought these were serious questions.

"Not just noodles," John says. "The best noodles in the world. Anakin, have you not had ramen noodles ever?"

Anakin shook his head. "Nope."

"Travesty," John gasps. "What about macaroni and cheese?"

"I don't think so," Anakin said.

"Deprived," John gasps again. "I'm gonna have to hook you up, man. You can't live here and not have mac and cheese and ramen."

"I appreciate you looking out for me," Anakin said, smiling. "These won't make me sing or dance, right?"

Re: Non-Festivus things

"Oh no," John says, shaking his head. "They're not magic or anything. Just two of the mandatory taste sensations everyone has to try at least once."

"Never hurts to check," Anakin said, rolling onto his back and staring up at the hut's ceiling. "Last weekend sucked."

"I thought you'd gone insane," John admits. "Everything okay now?"

"I finally came out of my room," Anakin said. "That's a start, right?"
