fandomhigh | Spaceships 101- 1st period- Week #7

First period on the day when everyone should be back to their own real selves. Jaina expected people to be in better moods than they'd probably been since Sunday. She of course had gotten all thoughtful today, but whatever, she had her own body back. Therefore she was greeting the class with a smile.

"Welcome back. In more ways than one," she said. "I was going to give you guys something easy, but then I woke up like this and I changed my mind. Sorry." She said that way too cheerfully considering 'cheerful' was not an adjective that applied to her much. She activated the projection showing today's ship, continuing, "This is a Z-95 Headhunter. Truth be told, it's mostly outdated now, though these things have been around about as long as most of what we've flown so far. The X-wing's outclassed it in a lot of ways, so those of you who have experience with them have some idea. That's not to say the Z-95's bad, it's just mostly still in use by people who have use for a fast, reliable, cheap ship. Like, say, smugglers." Not that she knew any of those...

"Which is what we're going to do today. The ship you're in is full of contraband, and there's a Star Destroyer- yes, watch me pull up things from previous classes- is on your tail. Your job is to avoid it and the TIE squadron they're sending after you. If you get hit too bad to go on, or if the Star Destroyer gets you in their tractor beam, it's game over. If not... good for you. And since I figure you're all aware of your comfort levels at this point, if there's ever a time you want to get a harder or easier simulation, just let me know and we'll adjust it for what's better for you."

Hang out waiting to get in the sim.

Bobby really couldn't be happier this morning. He was a boy again which meant he wasn't ever going to have to explain to his mom why she had a daughter suddenly and he didn't have to worry about insulting the girl whose body he'd ended up with by accidentally peeking at things. This was much, much easier.

Playing the part of smuggler was coming more naturally now to Leia. Of course, she imagined it to be weapons and medical supplies she was smuggling, not anything like certain scoundrels might.

"Have you flown one of these before?" Cally asked politely as she waited near Leia. "You come from the same area--" Universe was just so odd to say, even now. "--as Jaina and Ben, yes?"

"Area, yes, time, no," Leia said, looking over at Cally. "Jaina's my daughter, and Ben's my nephew. Or they will be in my future."

"Ben said as much," Cally replied with a nod. "You have a rather large family here for all that they're not from the same, er. Universe." Annnnd she'd had to say it anyway, with just a slightly different meaning. "I'm Cally; Ben is my Big Sibling."

"Leia, but you must know that if you know Ben," Leia grinned. "And I guess that makes you my niece in some strange way."

Cally laughed. "I imagine a familial chart of this island would be very interesting indeed, especially if we factor in the school-assigned siblings."

"Only if you can draw it in three dimensions to factor in alternate universes," Leia said. "I've met two versions of my twin brother, for instance, but neither was my Luke."

"That might be a bit of a challenge," Cally admitted. "You're a twin as well? Mine is a sister."
