Friday Evening: Town Hall: Homecoming (8pm - 10pm)

The first thing that might be noticed when students walked into the Town Hall was the towering stone troll statues that had been dragged in to grace the corners of the dance floor.  It being Homecoming and a semi-formal dance, the trolls were decked out appropriately in hats, glitter, and togas.  Fairy lights were strung across the ceiling, some twined with streamers and some dripping glitter and confetti across the dance floor. 

The walls were decorated with blown up pictures of significant events at Fandom: Graduations, the school blowing up, the Christmas pageants, plays, carnivals, zombies, all the moments that make Fandom Fandom.  Given a place of honour on the walls were a mock up of an exploding volcano, a massive gremlin in a bow tie, and, of course, the Stickbug flag.

Large lit up snowmen congregated around the punch bowl against a snowy backdrop and across the ballroom near the stage, there was a mural of large dinosaurs reaching up to enjoy a glittery streamer dinner.  The wall of the door though had the biggest picture of all - a painting of the island at night from across the water.

As students dropped off their wraps, they were pointed to vote for Homecoming Court then encouraged to proceed into the ballroom.

"Luke!" Sam met him halfway, unable to resist beaming back at him.

"I love this weekend," he said, reaching out to give her a hug. "It's like a family reunion without all of the issues."

Sam hugged him back, laughing. "I thought you had enough family here these days. What would you need a reunion for?"

"Excellent point," he said. "Personally, I'm waiting to see what Father thinks of Jaina's dress."

Luke pointed her out. "She's not wearing a giant sheet covering her entire body," he said with a grin, "so I'm sure he'll have something to be upset about."

Sam laughed when she spotted where Luke had been pointing. "Pretty. Is she a good pilot, mechanic, or is she a diplomat or artist type? Basically, what I'm asking is whether she can take care of herself."

"Pilot and mechanic--and very good at both," Luke said with a proud smile. "I think she might the only person other than Rory that he actually listens to."

"Then I'm glad she has him. But what about you? Settling in better now that all your dad's friends have left?"

"A little," he admitted, "but I like to think you're all my friends, too."

Oops. "Of course we are. But sometimes you just want to go someplace where there's no history."

Luke smiled. "And it's nice to not be thought of as eternally about eight years old," he said. "Being Anakin's son made me a little kid to a lot of you."
