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!]

"Mostly." Parker made an ick-face, then said, "By the way, please have my apologies for the in-your-face come-on last weekend, since there's no way I'm following up on it. And if you see any photos of me from then? Burn them. Please."

"As soon as I finish burning the ones of me," Dean promised. "Apology accepted. None of us were exactly ourselves."

Parker shuddered. "Not even close. I dated a prospective priest, but I do *not* mack on those already in orders. Jeez. I have to apologize to Ivanova too, then I'm done, though. Thank God."

"Have you and Anakin talked?" Dean asked, thinking of some of the things Anakin had said when they'd talked that morning.

"Are you kidding?" Parker said incredulously. "He couldn't stand me *before* this. He was going to be a Crazy Jedi Hermit in order to avoid dealing, Rory said. I'm not putting myself anywhere he's likely to be. I don't need that fight or humiliation, thanks ever so."

Okay, yeah, definitely a story here that he didn't know. Curious, he inquired, "If I ask why you two get along, would I get an answer?"

Parker's expression shut down a lot, but she answered in a relatively even voice, "I had an opinion. I expressed it badly. Okay, *really* badly. Anakin's feelings were hurt. I still think I was mostly right. But I was upset about other stuff, and it came out-- wrong." She shrugged, looking a little sad. "We got along fine last semester, when we were in Criminal Justice together. He's not a bad guy. But he really dislikes me now."
