Graduation
Four years later
"And now a word from your valedictorian Amelia Stark" said the school master. A soft applause echoed the room.
Amelia climbed the steps to the podium. She looked over the crowd. Rhodey sat in the stands, next to the seat reserved for her brother. No surprise, it was empty. A small smile played on her lips. She knew where he was. She couldn't even be mad. She spent the last week at the Alpha Kappa Phi sorority house herself to unwind. It helped that the Beta Pi guys were there too. She was thoroughly relaxed for today.
"So, I'm sure you all expect me to say something smart, inspiring, and encouraging to send all of you off into your tech fields," Ami began. "But I'm not going to do that. In true Stark, I'm inviting you all to a party at my penthouse, courtesy of my brother, Tony Stark. You want to know what awaits us? Jobs we don't want or debt that we can't get out of. So, tonight, as a final farewell to any semblance of meaning to our lives, I say we go-"
Rhodey came up and took the mic, saying, "Isn't she a riot? I think she's trying to say to enjoy what is coming and-"
"Rhodey, if I meant to say that, I would have." She put her sunglasses on, very Tony in that aspect. "See you tonight. Be there or be square, bitches!"
They both walked off the stage. The faculty shook their heads, remembering Tony just over a decade earlier. How they thought Ami would be different, she didn't know. Rhodey tried to lecture her on the ride to the penthouse. Oddly enough, Tony sat on the couch, a model on each arm.
"I'm so glad that's over with," said Ami, throwing the gown off. "Party tonight. You're buying, Tons."
"Starks don't fund others enjoyment" he said in his usual nonchalant tone "you want a party pay for it yourself I have my own fun to invest in" he said taking a sip of his drink
"Oh, just give me your damn card!" Amelia said, holding out her hand.
When he didn't move, she jumped on him. Rhodey rolled his eyes, trying to hide his smile at the siblings goofing around.
"Tony, you know you'll give it to her, just do it," the airman said.
"But, seriously," Amelia said, "you have that award ceremony in the next week, plus the Jericho Missile demonstration after that. One last party before you leave me with Potts."
"I heard that!" Pepper said from the other room.
"And what do I get out of my investment if I do fund your boring party " he said sitting back down
Ami sat next to him and put her head on his shoulder, "The knowledge that your 20-year-old sister is partying safely." She chuckled. "Plus, it makes up for missing my awesome valedictorian speech and graduation."
Rhodey sighed, "About that. Really? You missed her graduation, Tony? And your speech?! What was that, Ami?!"
Ami laughed, sitting up. "I'd be worried if he had been there. Could you imagine? A Stark being where they should be or saying what they were told to say?"
Tony sighed "well I do have some things I need to do tonight and it would be nice to have you out of my hair and what not" he said standing up " everything thing for the party is already on its way, you have an hour before things start to arrive, I've arranged it all already. Make sure your not late to your own party" he said and started to leave "ladies " he gestured to the models
She smiled. When the party planner and supplies arrived, she smirked. Of course, Tony got the best of everything. And it was exactly what she wanted! The DJ came soon after to set up and the pool looked amazing! Pepper looked ready to have a meltdown.
"The living room too?!" Pepper asked.
"What can I say?" Ami said. "I need the space."
That night, Ami was drunk and the pool was full of horny college students trying to get laid one last time before life took over.
"To Tony and monotony!" Ami yelled, earning drunken cheers around her.
