Fandom High School

There were benefits to having been here a long time, and one of those benefits was an utter lack of surprise to wake up and find yourself looking a little different and with all the wrong parts. In fact, Turtle considered herself such an erudite Fandomite that she, upon waking and finding herself a cute floppy haired boy again, found that the timing was excellent, as this would make for an interesting spin on the Alpha Beta Gremlin meeting.

Assuming enough of the girls weren't too busy freaking out, anyway.

"Hey, guys," she said, letting the obvious irony lace the the word. "Hopefully, by this late in the day, you've realized that we're not quite ourselves. This makes a meeting on sisterhood kind of ironic. So, instead of using the meeting today for sisterly business, I thought we'd take the opportunity to embrace our current forms and take a peek into fraternity life, instead. So I've got pizza, root beer,"--it was a school club, guys, "--Cheetos, footballs, some sports game on the TiVo. I encourage you to belch, scratch, and talk about...I don't know, girls or something. Basically, today, we're just going to be men, so that we can better appreciate how much better it is being women."

It was an unholy union, this team of Elle Woods and Turtle Wexler, and no one seemed to be as aware of this fact as Turtle Wexler herself. Thanks to everything else going on today, Turtle had to turn the reins over to Elle to prepare for ABG's first meeting this semester and, while it was great because everything was coming from Turtle & Canary, it was coming at Elle's discretion.

Which meant that the classroom was decked out in a lot of pink and glitter. A lot. Who knew there were even other shades of pink than hot and pepto bismol? Apparent, Elle knew, and the whole rainbow of pink was splattered over desks in the form of cloths, chairs in the form of ribbons, and the handles of baskets containing all sorts of delicious and thankfully not-so-pink baked goods (the muffins, for instance, were not pink, although there were iced cupcakes that fit the theme). It was actually making Turtle feel a little nauseous, although that might just be that she was stuffing her face with some cookies after probably way too much sugar already today.

Either way, they made their introductions, Elle in her bubbly Elle way, and Turtle, while bouncy, seemed even more straight-laced and professional by comparison. "We're very excited," she said, "to get Alpha Beta Gremlin started up again, and it's really excited to see such a great turn-out, too! Now, basically, a sorority like this is not just padding for your transcripts. A sorority like this is also a chance to bond with your other female Fandom Highers, and a chance to improve the community. I'm talking sleep overs, bake sales, community clean up projects, all made more fun because of the bond between ABG'ers."

"To welcome you all to the sisterhood, Elle and I have put together little bags for everyone, and they've got your name on it and are filled with fun little things, as well as your ABG badge to display proudly to the world." The bags, pink, of course, were filled with fun confetti, tubes of glitter, fun size candies, little bottles of nail polish and tiny tubes of glittery lip gloss, some hair accessories, some cool glittery pens, highlighters, the ABG pins, and a five dollar gift card for Turtle & Canary -- guess who contributed what.

"What we're going to do today," Turtle continued, "is just sort of chill out and mingle and get to know each other a little better, although some of us probably know each other pretty well. In that case, what we'd like is for you to branch out and if there's a sister here that you don't know very well, go and talk to that person and get that changed! If you do feel you know everyone here really well, good for you! Have some more cookies."

"I'd also like everyone to take a moment to fill out a little card and put it into this bag,"--pink, of course--"for ideas on what you'd like ABG to accomplish this year. And then next meeting, we'll go through some of the suggestion cards and think more seriously on how to get them done. Today, however, we'll just tighten our bonds of sistership and enjoy all this really good stuff Elle's baked for us."

"Also, Miss Upland will be our adviser for the semester, so make sure to thank her. I'm sure she's got plenty of good ideas, herself." And lots and lots of more pink and glitter, so help them all.
