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."

"So why is it you're taking the class again?" She teased. "Easy A?"

"History lesson," Ben teased back. "He's using technology that's a hundred years old for me."

"Oh, right," Rose laughed, rolling her eyes. "Not even a little bit trying to beat those records your granddad has. Uh huh."

"Am I that obvious?" Ben asked, laughing.

"Only cause I'd do the same thing," she confided laughingly. "But if Master Skywalker is that much of a legend, who wouldn't!"

"Just wait until we get to the real ships," Ben said. "His numbers are ridiculous, but he was a major war hero."

"Real ships like airplanes?" Rose asked hopefully. Somehow she didn't think that was what he meant, no.

"And then ones that go out into space," Ben said, amused.

She tugged on her ponytail, obviously thinking about that. "So what happens if you crash in space?"

"Depends what you crashed into," Ben said. "If it was a planet, nothing good."

"Right," Rose said tightly. "No crashing into planets. Got it."

"They're pretty big and easy to miss," Ben said, keeping his tone light. "I'm sure Granddad'll ease us in."

He was sure of no such thing.

She looked over at the teacher then back at Ben with a disbelieving look. "Riiiiiight."

"Okay, the deaths aren't permanent in the simulator?" Ben tried.

See, that was better, and she relaxed. "Fake deaths now so we don't get people killed later?" Rose said. "Now it seems like home."

Ben nodded. "If we do real stuff, he'll be even more obsessed about us getting it right." He lowered his voice. "Don't tell anyone, but he's not really wanting to kill us all."

"Cross my heart, I won't tell," she whispered back laughingly. "It's a relief to know though."
