Flight & Flying [Tuesday, May 19, 4th period]

[sith_happened]

Anakin was almost smiling today as the class met in the Danger Shop. Creepy.

"Today we're going to continue with land-based transportation," he said quietly, pointing to two motorcycle-esque machines hovering on either side him. "This is a swoop bike," he said, pointing to one, "and the one on the left is a speeder bike, the slightly newer model, which is also equipped with a laser cannon. Don't use the laser cannon, please. Both fly like the motorcycles of your world drive, but can get up to 400 kilometers an hour. That being said, you will be wearing helmets and there are two different scenarios based on your level of skill. One is a city planet with very tall buildings to miss. The second is a forest moon with trees hundreds of meters tall."

He gave the class a tight smile. "Please don't hit a tree or a building and explode. There will be mocking. If you do it intentionally, there will be detention."

He clapped his hands. "Begin."

He made the bikes.

And no, you can't have one.

Before class, Rose approached the teacher, holding her class schedule. "Professor Skywalker? I'm Rose Hathaway. I'm supposed to be in your class, I think," she said, telling herself it was stupid to feel nervous. He was just another teacher.

Anakin arched up an eyebrow. "And yet you weren't here last week," he observed, then waited for an explanation.

"I just came to the school on this past Saturday," she explained, then gave him a half-smile. "Last week I didn't know I'd be coming to Fandom at all."

"That tends to go around this time of year," he said dryly. "Are you familiar with flying at all?"

It didn't go around so much as she stupidly got her and Lissa caught, but it was the same difference really.

"I'm a good passenger?" she offered, knowing full well that wasn't the same at all. "So - no."

Anakin offered her a tiny smile in return. "That's fine. It's a class to learn. It's hardly any fun if everyone's already an expert. Don't be afraid to ask for assistance."

"I shall," Rose said, certain she probably wouldn't. But apparently whoever signed her up for classes thought she needed to learn flying. And it was better than Russian or Slavic Art or whatever they were taking at St. Vladimir's. "Thank you, Professor."
