BWI Airport Lounge, Saturday Morning

[spin_kick_snap]

Kathy should have been tired as she made her way to the lounge with the bright and glittery Fandom High banner. Even for someone who considered herself a morning person, the time she'd had to get up to catch her flight out of LAX had been obscene. Excitement had kept her awake on the plane. Excitement and energy drinks were keeping her jittering

Waiting for the Shuttle

Meet. Mingle. Talk about how cool it is to go to boarding school over the summer!

...It is cool, right?

Mira was traveling light today. Just the mostly-leather clothes she was wearing, her wrist launcher, and whatever she could fit in a small duffel. (She was a non-royal Star Wars character. Like they changed clothes ever.)

She made her way over toward the Fandom High banner, slunk into a seat, and gave a casual wave at the jittery girl over there.

"Hi!" Kathy practically shouted, then made a face. "Err, sorry. I'm not usually so loud."

In fact, she was used to being the quiet girl off in the corner. Lately, though, she'd been feeling a lot more energetic than usual.

"New student, too?"

"I'll let my eardrums be the judge of that," Mira said. "And yep. I'm Mira, and I just came through the portal. Also, I'm surprised that people here travel by portals. What's with that?"

On the way to Fandom

Which will likely be a tame and boring ride. Really.

"If you're going to Fandom, your ride is this way," Jack announced loudly at the appointed hour, when it seemed like everyone who needed to be on the van was there. If he was privately amused that he'd ended up driving the shuttle instead of any of the modern teachers -- well, it didn't show. Much.

"I promise not to lose any of you before we get to the island."

"Is it far?" Kathy asked, hoisting her suitcase behind her. "I tried finding Fandom Island on Google maps back home, but it wouldn't pull up."

Not that she'd mentioned that to her parents. Her mother had already been dubious about the whole venture.

"it can be funny that way," Jack commiserated. "But no, it's not so far. An hour or so, depending on traffic."

He gave the girl a brief, curious look. He always wondered whether new students had the first clue what they were in for. "I'm Jack," he added. "2010 graduate, teacher -- and today I drive a van."
