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!]

"Actually Sam and I had a long talk last night and part of it included a metaphor that required me to get a pedicure. Go figure." She shook her head, still bemused by the conversation. "I will if it's necessary. I think he's going to wind up so excited he'll forget about it."

Parker grinned gleefully. "He loves surprises. I warned him no one will tell him what's up, so I'm hoping he'll really like it. When do we leave?"

"It's a five hour drive. So we can leave really, really early Saturday morning to be there by eight. Or we can go out Friday night and get motel rooms and crash," she said. "What do you think?"

"Friday night," Parker voted. "So we'll be well-rested for the rafting in the morning. Plus, hotel rooms, last chance to be in civilization for a few days. I don't have a workshop on MOnday morning-- can we stay that long?"

"Greg and I both have Piper's workshop. So we need to come back Sunday night," she sadly. "And we're only camping for one night. You'll survive."

"Alas. Alack. Okaaaaaay." Parker moped, then smiled. "We'll still have fun. S'mores and danger and stars and campfires without a zillion people, or the possibility of gremlins showing up."

"Exactly," Isabel said. "And friends, significant others, and friends and their significant others. It'll be great."
