Leo POV [Documentary]
Leo's fiance Calypso did not agree to be his camerawoman, but nevertheless, she obliges because that's something that people do when they love each other. God, Leo is just so lucky to have this woman in his life. She pans the cellphone camera across the New Rome Community College class reunion. It's going to be weird seeing everyone again.
She points the camera at Leo, and he gives a short introduction.
"And we're back," he says. "Leo Valdez here, joined by my lovely fiance Calypso. We're here at the New Rome Community College class reunion. You'd think it's weird that we're actually back here considering how much we complained about it, but time is funny like that." He breathes in deeply, taking in the questionable smells of the New Rome cafeteria. "Between making explosions and setting things on fire, I actually found myself missing this place."
Calypso zooms in on some parts of the cafeteria including the same decorations from the Sadie Hawkins dance, Hazel's sandwich shop, and some new composting bins. Calypso is a slut for composting.
Leo clears his throat.
As if reading from a script, Calypso asks, "What have you been doing since graduation?"
He claps his hands together. "Funny you should ask, babe! I've been working in pyrotechnics—that's like fire and explosions—but for movie sets. I'm living the dream and I'm putting my degree to good use. MythoMagic: The Live-Action Reboot is going to rock!"
"I came as soon as I heard 'pyrotechnics,'" Frank grumbles from off-screen.
"Frank!" Leo cheers. "Get over here. We're doing a documentary."
In unison, the men sing the jingle to their old morning show. "Frank and Leo in the moooorning!"
Leo addresses the camera. "Eight years after graduation and that song never gets old! Glad you see ya, Frank!"
"Missed you, man," he says.
Calypso clears her throat. "Frank, would you like to tell the camera what you've been doing since graduation?"
"Well, I'm still teaching kindergarten at the same school, except now I'm also in charge of the gifted program. My daughter is in my class this year."
"Aww, that is so sweet," Calypso says.
Frank takes his phone from his pocket and shows the camera a picture of a little girl with a toothless grin. "This is Gwendolyn. She thinks it's weird that the other kids call me Mr. Zhang. To her, I'm just Dad!"
"Frank, what did I say about showing everyone pictures of Gwen? Not everyone cares about that. Are you at least asking Leo what he's doing?" Hazel asks. She looks into the camera and waves to Calypso. "Still doing this, I see."
"Frank and Leo in the moooorning!" the guys sing.
"Hi, Hazel," Calypso says. "Care to tell the viewers back home what you're doing?"
Hazel nods. "Yeah, Hazel's Sandwich Hub is now a popular dining option on college campuses all over the west coast. Business students can partner with us to help run the shop and earn internship credit. It's an awesome opportunity for people who need experience but also have the burden of managing a full course load. Oh, is that your engagement ring?"
Calypso shows Hazel the rock on her ring finger.
"Oh, that's nice!" Hazel beams. "I'm so happy for you! When's the date?"
