Throwing Things: Lessons in Athletics and War From a Distance, Friday, Period 2

"You've all done great," Fred said. "Thanks for the memories, stay sweet, all that stuff. The only thing I have left to teach you how to throw is an end of the semester pizza party. It's a complicated process. You order some pizza. You have people eat it. Call it a party. Done! Now have some pizza and let's call this whole thing over."

Fred was ending his teaching career with class.

So You Just Met Your Relative From The Future, Friday

"Hey," Ben said with a quick smile. "I know we've done a lot of talking at you over this summer, so I'm interested to know if there's anything you think you've learned about the weirdness of the island--if you're up to sharing of course, no pressure--or anything you're worried about with the newcomers showing up on Saturday. Who would you love to see? Who would make life complicated?"

"Is there any particular situation we haven't discussed yet that you'd like us to speak about?" Obi-Wan asked, spreading his arms. "There are rather a lot of them, I must say. Unfortunately."

Ben smiled ruefully. "The perils of the multiverse," he agreed. "For me, knowing my mother's here has made my life more complicated, so I can't imagine anyone else showing up that would make it worse."

"Your moth--" No, asking would probably be a terrible idea. "My own 'worst case' was here when I arrived," he said. "My old apprentice Anakin. We... had had our differences last time I saw him. It took time."

Ben smiled at Ahsoka if she was there. "Yeah, I can imagine."

"Please," said Obi-Wan, spreading his arms. "Discuss."

Library, Friday

Could books dance? Lucille would have said no, but that was before she became a library aide. So while the books pulled themselves out from the shelves and then returned, all in extravagant choreographies, she ignored them, reading a novel instead. It was quite exciting, even if some of the descriptions made her blush. Perhaps this would be suitable to recommend to Peridot.
