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!]

"Thank you," Peter said. "The key is to give it eight limbs. Otherwise it's not a spider. I learned that in school."

"See," Zero said, "school is good for somethin'."

"I like school half the time. Especially when I have a cute girl with colorful hair around while school's in session," Peter said.

"You're very good at this flattery thing," Zero said, giving him a kiss.

When Peter pulled back from the kiss, he smiled. "You see, I've learned that when I flatter you, good things happen. And that's because you're such a perfect girlfriend."

"And this is one of the many things that makes you such a perfect boyfriend," Zero said. "Did this get changed to Festivus at the last minute, or what?"

"I'm not sure when it got changed," Peter said. "It does seem like an odd choice. I don't think anyone has ever even heard of Festivus before today."

"I had. We actually did it for a few years, until Mum decided she missed trimmin' the tree." After a moment's thought, Zero added, "Also, no one could pin her."

"That doesn't shock me," Peter laughed. "Still, it's nice to hear that this is a real holiday."

Re: Non-Festivus things

"Yeah. I don't think it's a very popular holiday, though, but I guess it's a good compromise."
