Flight- Monday- 3rd period

[solo_sword]

The class was meeting in the flight shed today, where Jaina was standing in front of the class, only speaking when she was sure everyone had arrived.

"Welcome to Flight class. My name's Jaina Solo, and while some of you know me by now, let's do the usual first day spiel for the ones who don't. I'm a Jedi, ex-military-" And that still stung to say, yes. "-and made it into my first squadron when I was sixteen. I'm mostly used to flying starfighters, in space rather than in atmosphere, but overall, if it can fly, I can fly it. So this class is going to be dealing with flying those kinds of ships, along with Earth-based craft, either in the Danger Shop or in here in the simulator. Which, by the way, you're only to treat nicely. If anything breaks, you not only have to deal with me, but with Professor Skywalker, and trust me, you don't want that." She could say that after years of getting yelled at.

"We're going to be cliche and do introductions today, and you'll get in the sim next week. Today I want to know what I'm dealing with, so you're going to go around and say your name, where you're from, and what kind of experience you've got. Let's start with you."

Ace couldn't really pull off much of a sulky face about not getting to fly today, because.... flying. FLYING. So the grin was maybe on a dimmer switch, but still bright enough to read by?

"I'm Ace. I'm from nineteen eighty-six, but I've been to space in the future, too. Not that I got to fly anything." She could drum up a bit of a sourpuss for that. "Might've, if some people didn't get all touchy about letting anybody else have a look at their cockpit."

By which she meant some people named Glitz, and not so much letting as finding, and not so much having a look as trying to snag a lift offplanet by hiding under the vast pile of empty lager cans and sandwich wrappers behind the co-pilot's chair.

That's what she said.

"Maybe once you've got some experience you'll be more convincing," Jaina said.

"That's what he said." Sadly, Ace was either too old or too young to waggle her brows at that; she just did the same thing she'd done when Glitz had waggled his: rolled her eyes. "Difference being you're actually offering some." Of the flying sort, not the eyebrow-waggling sort. "Plus you're prettier."

Only the truth, and if it was a truth applicable to most people Ace had ever met whose name didn't rhyme with bum itch, she didn't have to mention that bit.
