Flight & Flying [Friday, June 22, 2nd period]

[sith_happened]

Anakin was waiting for the students on the top of the apartment building in town, leaning up against a Lambda-class Imperial shuttle.

"Welcome to the Virgo," he said with a small smile before giving them a quick rundown of the general specifications of the ship. "It's twenty meters long and is generally used to ferry soldiers or cargo back home," he said. "It's also equipped with a hyperdrive--which we will not be using--as well as two forward-facing double laser cannons, two wing-mounted double cannons, and a rear-facing double laser cannon." He met each student's eyes. "Which we will definitely not be using. We're going to do a quick swing around the system here--we won't go out as far as Pluto, but since it's not a planet any longer, I doubt it will be that offended."

He waved a hand towards the ramp. "Come aboard."

"You don't even want to know what I'm imagining," Gavin said, shaking his head.

"...well now do," Luke complained.

Gavin looked around before saying, very quickly, "Saltrrees."

Luke gave him a very long look, then burst out laughing.

"Really? Salt trees? Really?"

"Shut up," Gavin griped, frowning. "I told you you didn't wanna know!"

"Salt's a rock, idiot," Luke said affectionately. "Rock's don't grow on trees."

Gavin glared but there was a hint of a smile beneath it. "Gimme back the crown I gave you!"

Re: Oooh, look, Earth!

[tatooine-doofus.livejournal.com]

"No!" Luke said, grinning back. "I've asked Leia for the proper hairstyle to go with it and everything!"

And she'd asked him if he'd been dropped on his head. Details.

"...did you really?"

"I was trying to get her to smile," Luke said. "It almost worked."

Re: Oooh, look, Earth!

[sixstandingby.livejournal.com]

"I could've gotten her a crown if I thought she needed to smile," Gavin told him. "We could've spray painted it pink. Girls like that, right?"

Re: Oooh, look, Earth!

[tatooine-doofus.livejournal.com]

"Sure!" Luke said. "And glitter."

Re: Oooh, look, Earth!

[sixstandingby.livejournal.com]

"Glitter!" Gavin nodded. "As long as we kept it away from each other. No kissing."

Re: Oooh, look, Earth!

[tatooine-doofus.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, I don't think that would cheer Leia up," Luke agreed.

Re: Oooh, look, Earth!

[sixstandingby.livejournal.com]

"It might make me laugh hysterically in an 'they're crazy' sort of way?"

Re: Oooh, look, Earth!

[tatooine-doofus.livejournal.com]

"...let's call that Plan Q."

Re: Oooh, look, Earth!

Gavin laughed and said, "Sounds good to me."
