Flight and Flying [Tuesday, July 14, 4th period]

[sith_happened]

Anakin had spent the morning getting rid of slight dings that the flight simulator had accrued by being (what the hell) alive this weekend.

"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."

Danny had decided to try flying the beginner course first as well... as a warm up to the forest scenario, obviously. "Hey," he said, noticing the girl who was also over there.

"Hi," Claire said. "Do you have any experience with this stuff?"

"I've ridden a motorcycle a couple times, and he said it was fairly close to one," Danny replied, gesturing towards Anakin during "he said". "You?"

Claire shook her head. "Nope, this is brand new to me. But I'm looking forward to it."

She remembered her manners then. "Oh, I'm Claire."

"I'm Danny. Would you rather ride with someone? I wouldn't mind taking you as a passenger, if you didn't want to drive." He wasn't about to use the technical term aka riding bitch to a girl he'd just met.

"Thanks, but I'm looking forward to trying it myself," Claire said with a grin. She had a total daredevil streak.

"'Kay then, good luck," Danny said with a wave, and got onto his bike with a grin. He was way too excited for this moment.

"Good luck to you too!" Claire said.
