Pomp and Circumstance
Bendy-timed to before a couple of days before Loki showed up

Grace fidgeted with the sleeves of her black robe. The gold tassel from her cap dangled in front of her face.

She was graduating from high-school. Sure, it wasn't the school that she had started out at, but she did it. She'd put in the hard work, and she'd soon have the diploma to prove it.

The speeches having been over and done with, Grace stood in line with the kids from her row to get her diploma. As long as she didn't trip, everything would be perfect. Dad and the Defenders were somewhere in the crowd. She'd even told Zoey to invite Avery along. Her Mom had flown in from Boston to see her daughter graduate.

Grace could feel her heartbeat start to speed up, as she got closer to the platform.

"Grace Elizabeth Danvers!" Her name was called out by the vice-principal and she walked across the stage, taking her diploma from the principal, a wide grin on her face.

When all the names had been called and all of the seniors had officially graduated, Grace tossed her cap into the air along with the rest of the students. Then, picking it up, she rushed off to find the Defenders and her Mom. Mom had booked a room at a local restaurant for them to have all of them to have a nice dinner.

	Zoey of course stood up and cheered loudly when Grace's name was called. She had never been to a graduation, or for that matter really knew what one was, but it was important to Grace. Apparenly she won a prize or something. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	It had been seven years since her own graduation from high school, three since Dawn'd graduated from college. Grace's brought back pleasant memories of both. Way to go, girl, she thought as she watched. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Syd sat on the other side of Zoey across from Avery. It was strange, but they felt like a little family sitting there. Syd shook off the feeling and paid attention to the ceremonies. She was proud of Grace for her accomplishment and all the hard work the girl had put into graduating. Syd had cheered along side of Zoey when Grace's name was called. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Ohu cheers, bouncing in his seat. He is still disappointed that they confiscated his foghorn at the gate, but he'll do his best to make noise for her. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Carol was very proud of her daughter. It had taken a lot of hard work on both their parts for this day to arrive. Carol had ridden Grace hard over the years, but it had paid off. Her daughter had graduated from high school with good grades and had good prospects for college. She was even playing nice with Simon because she didn't want to ruin this day for Grace.

	It was another new concept for Marlow to be part of, but she clapped with the others when Grace's name was called. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	The big guy is a marshmallow today. Grace...She's the star. All he ever wanted to be was the supporting role in a story like this one. He squeezes Syd's shoulder and hands Zoey a movie camera. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Syd turned and gave Simon a smile. She was glad she had been able to share this with Simon and Grace. She hadn't been sure how Simon and Carol would get along, but everyone was playing nice for Grace's benefit. (Reply to this)(Parent)
