fandomtownies | Parents' Weekend Meet & Greet, Town Park [Friday Afternoon]

Barney was smart and had purposefully blocked all outgoing mail from Fandom to his New York City (sorry, no luck for you, Robin) and so could blissfully oversee the gathering of guests, students, teachers, and townies happening in the park. The day was bright and sunny, regardless of what any weather reports might claim.

The Student Council had done a nice job getting things together to greet the visitors. A wide variety of sumptuous food was spread out on long tables at one end of the park. In the center were plenty of comfortable blue and gold tables and chairs perfect for sitting, chatting, and eating. To the other end of he park was the registration table where visitors could sign in and pickup their name tags.

Just above the registration area was a gaudy banner announcing the start of a calm and relaxing weekend. Okay, a weekend where Barney got a lot of popcorn to listen to radio.
Welcome to Parents' Weekend 2009!

"He does make it easy sometimes," Luke admitted. "How's he doing?"

"He seems to be okay," said Jaina. "He doesn't really tell me much, though."

Luke looked worried. "I don't really like the sound of that," he admitted.

"He's got friends, he's got things to do. He handles things in his own Ben way," she said. "I don't worry about him much, I just try to be around if he needs me." Which was sort of the way her mom used to be with her, which was a little scary to realize.

"Maybe I should talk with Ben's friends, then," Luke said. "It's been a tough year for him."

But not for Luke, of course.

"It has," Jaina agreed. She couldn't argue that one. "They've probably heard a lot about you."

"Hopefully good things," Luke said with a smile. "And how are you? You seem a little apprehensive."

"These weekends are never not stressful," she replied. "And there are six timelines represented here on a normal day now."

"Six?" Luke repeated. "Yours, Ben's, Anakin's, and...Tahiri. That's four. Who am I missing?"

"Kyle Katarn and Mirax Horn," Jaina said. "They're both from pretty far back."

Luke burst out laughing. "Really?"

"Mirax is a grade lower than Ben, and I'm three where Kyle's from," she explained. "And he can still kick my ass."

"Kyle shouldn't be kicking the ass of three year olds," Luke teased. "It's tacky."

"Try telling him that," she said dryly.

"I will," Luke declared, glancing around. "I don't see him here."

"He might not be," Jaina said. She looked around, though if still-taller-than-her Luke couldn't see him, she wouldn't. "I think he works at the trooper station, if he doesn't show."

"I'll remember," Luke said. "A younger Kyle Katarn. I didn't think the universe was large enough to hold more than one."

"Or his beard." What? It was true.

Luke snickered. "It is quite a beard."
