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!

Zack nodded slightly. See? He totally agreed.

"I understand. But the information we're giving... It's more basic things. Making maps of the area, so that if monsters invade here, we'll be ready for them. How to improvise if your weapon is broken."

That was almost a sheepish smile, there, from Little Mister Snaps-Many-Swords, yes.

"Stuff everyone knows, but they don't always get around to doing unless there's a group of people organized to do the same. We have the same mission objective. Keep this island safe."

"Just be careful," Angeal cautioned. "Promise me this girl isn't your girlfriend?"

Zack being casual acquaintances with a Wutaian girl - that did not need to go to Lazard. Zack getting intimate with one would.

Zack blinked up at Angeal. And then he nearly laughed.

"You know, I don't actually have a girlfriend?"

About three and a half thousand girls (and some guys) with whom he flirted relentlessly. But no girlfriend.

Angeal did laugh, for his part. "Mutant alligators, singing dishes, and no girlfriend? I'm not sure which is the hardest to believe."

"Well, there's this one girl who I kept trying to go on dates with, but after she turned into a turtle and then got stuck in a hidden dimension in her closet, I think we kinda gave up. And then she left the island."

Poutyface.

He'd go on, but the Shulkie thing was still kind of... confusing. And then there was Layla, and umpteen other girls, and...

No actual girlfriend. It was miraculous!

Angeal rested his hand on Zack's shoulder. "Probably best to let that one go, then."

He wasn't laughing. This was probably something serious that he shouldn't laugh at. Totally, totally not laughing.

"Yeah, I guess so. And there are plenty of other girls around here, anyhow!" A pause. "Guys are actually kind of a minority."

You know. In case Angeal hadn't noticed, somehow, that the majority of the island's population seemed to be little blond teenage females.

"More importantly," Angeal said, eyes glinting with mischief, "you've been focusing too much on your training to take advantage of that imbalance. Lazard will be impressed."

Mentors could spin anything, to The Boss.
