Ziva waited somewhat patiently at the front of the room for everyone to sit down before clearing her throat and beginning class.

"Since we discussed the most important skill of an officer last week, I thought it would be best to learn about an officer's second most important skill today. Knowing how to track someone without being caught is really an invaluable skill for anyone, but it is especially important for those who are working in law enforcement. Sometimes, for example, you will need to do surveillance on a suspect to gather evidence to bring to court. Criminals rarely commit crimes when they know they are being watched." And the ones who did were far too crazy to discuss so early in the semester. "You must often be sneaky in order to obtain pictures or video to catch your suspect in the act of their crime. Other times, you will need to be able to follow a suspect in order to apprehend them. If you are noticed and they try to escape, it makes for a much bigger hassle to catch them."

Ziva grabbed a stack of handouts, and passed them out before going over the essential requirements of stealthy following. "If the rest of you have anything to add, feel free to say so," she said, looking to the other teachers who were there. "It is possible that I have forgotten something important."

When the discussion was over, Ziva went back around the room and handed each student a piece of paper. "This is your homework assignment," she said. "Each of you has been given the name of another student in this class. Your assignment is to track this student down at some point before the next class and observe them for at least ten minutes without catching their notice. Having another class with them does not count. You must scout them up--" Out, up, whatever. "--and find them outside of your classes. Does anyone have any questions?"

"The frequencies get a little scrambled during Parents Weekend and stuff," Ben admitted. "I have a set of my own relatives, and then Jaina's come, or Granddad's Luke arrives and it's a big headache."

"Owwwww," Dinah said in sympathy. She had much more of that after meeting Roy and Bruce this semester. "Was it hard, to keep them all straight, when you first got here?" Although... "Or were you here first?"

"Oh, I wasn't here first," Ben said with a laugh. "Aunt Leia's the first new relative to arrive since I got here."

"Ohhhh. That had to be a little more brain-breaky, then, when you first got here." Dinah smiled ruefully, then nodded over to Roy. "In some reality? A way older me was dating his dad. We still get boggled over it."

"My grandfather's still alive here," Ben said. "He's been dead for almost fifty years back home." He made a face. "And he certainly didn't get remarried and have a baby. I now have an aunt who's fourteen years younger than me."

"She's two?" Yeah, Dinah could do that boggling math. "Tell me you don't call her Aunt, though, that's just weird." She blushed. "I mean, it's not creepy-weird, 'cause your grandpa isn't really old here, but it's still--" She shook her head. "Timelines. Gaaaah."

"Not quite one," Ben corrected. "I'm only fifteen."

Dinah shook her head, ow. Yeah, that math correction didn't help. "Well, there's only one me here, so that'll be way easy for you," she teased lightly. "And I'm taller than all the other blonde girls you know. Hmm. Maybe I should dye my hair this week."

"You can dye yourself blue and I'd still be able to find you," Ben said, then quoted his father. "'Your eyes can deceive you, don't trust them.'"

"Not fair!" Dinah didn't sound mad about it though. "I'll come up with something to thwart you. Even if I can't thwart the Force. I hope."

Ben smirked. "Good luck with that."
