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

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."

There weren't many areas in which Zayne was very confident. The list was pretty much 'talking to people,' 'recovering from some terribly embarrassing accident,' and 'riding a swoop.' That last point just came with living on Taris. If you were a young man, Jedi or not, you were going to end up being really good on a swoop or you were probably going to end up in a hospital because you were trying to get good on a swoop and failed.

"They haven't really changed the design too much," Zayne mused as he hopped on the swoop, put his helmet on, and sped off. He zipped between the trees with an ease that was probably surprising if you had ever seen him do anything else at all. Zayne probably would have considered it weird, too, but he was too busy enjoying himself for that.
