Spaceships 101- 1st period- Week #10

[solo_sword]

When Jaina figured out she still felt just as restless as she had yesterday, and then she heard radio, she figured she should maybe rethink today's class. Rather than making them learn something that might frustrate anyone, she'd just let them choose their own comfort level. "I'm going to take a wild guess and say most of you probably have some energy to burn off. So today we're going to have a bit of a refresher class. Choose a ship we've covered, and I don't care if you just want to redo a simulation you've done before to get some extra practice, or if you just want to blow something to bits. Sometimes that's cathartic.

"Oh," Jaina added, "and if I see anyone doing more than making googly-eyes at each other in my class, I have a water pistol and I will hose you down."

A water pistol, really? Tahiri sent Ben's way, sounding a little indignant, although her (she thought) righteous anger was blunted a bit by a lack of focus. Is that really going to be necessary?

He grinned at her. No. We have more self-restraint than that. Plus there are all kinds of poke-y...things...in the sim that would just get in the way.

Not helpful, Ben.

Not helpful, no; thanks for making Tahiri squirm a little.

There's always the junkyard later, she replied, only turning a little bit red.

What exactly was wrong with your room, Tahiri?

[momslilassassin]

The shuttle has beds, he suggested, blushing.

[weetuskenraider]

I remember, Tahiri replied, pretty sure the tips of her ears were about to spontaneously combust at the thought. Want to go for a ride, then?

. . . you really, really could have phrased that better, Tahiri.

He snickered aloud. "Really?"

Re: Wait your turn

[weetuskenraider]

"Yes, really," Tahiri replied, looking confused for a moment before her eyes widened when she realized what she'd said.

. . . which she didn't look repentant about, at all. "Oh, you're laughing now, but we'll just see how funny you think it is later."

Re: Wait your turn

[momslilassassin]

He winked. "After classes?" he suggested. "I'll bring snacks."

Re: Wait your turn

[weetuskenraider]

"Ice cream will just melt," Tahiri pointed out with a grin. "But I wouldn't say no to chocolate."

Re: Wait your turn

[momslilassassin]

Well, now he had images of melted ice cream and Tahiri and that was not what he needed if he was going to avoid getting hosed down by a water pistol.

"Noted," he said, blushing.

Re: Wait your turn

[weetuskenraider]

Tahiri did not need to be thinking about how much she could make him blush. Or how to measure that. And yet she was.

"Good thing I don't have to worry about your memory," she told him, thinking . . . less about if he'd remember to bring the chocolate and more about things that, in Earth parlance, were closely related to phrases about riding a bicycle.

Not. Enough. Ice. On. Hoth.
