Flight- Monday- 3rd period

The students had been instructed to meet in the Danger Shop, where they'd find themselves in a large field with hot air balloons in front of them. They'd also find Jaina, who was back to her correct gender and was shielding like woah, because sdhsdhs, basically.

"I did tell you you'd by flying all sorts of craft, didn't I?" she began. "For those of you who don't know, this is a hot air balloon. People get in these, fly through the air, and let the wind take them where it will. I think it's crazy, personally, but as long as we're in the Danger Shop, that's sort of the place for crazy."

She gave them a short lecture on how to actually work the things- most importantly how to get down- and said, "I want you to pair up in twos or threes if you want and take one of these things up for a while. And please, no one push anyone else out of the baskets, that's just uncalled for."

Cade looked around, hoping he wouldn't end up with someone he'd actually consider tossing from the basket.

Karina was back to her normal self! That alone was cause for a good mood today!

She glanced around for a partner.

"Why," Victor asked Cade with some distaste as he looked at the balloons, "would anybody want to go up in one of those in 2013?"

He paused. "And do you wanna pair with me?"

Victor was a stellar salesman.

"What time should we want to go up in the air in a balloon with no engine?" Cade asked, frowning hard at the thing.

"And sure. What the hell."

Evan was actually pretty excited about this! It was flying, but not at the breakneck speeds that he was used to! Actually, it would be kind of relaxing!

And that's why he approached the nearest person who seemed to be looking for a partner without really checking to see who it was, first.

"A hot air balloon," he was almost chirping, yes. "Doesn't that sound- Oh!" Oh... "Hi, Karina."

Awkward.

The one time we did that, mine didn't have enough helium in it and kind of limped along about 15 feet up before blowing out of sight (and probably into a tree).

Victor stepped into a balloon and started doing all the pre-launch checks Jaina had shown them.

Not that there was much to check, really. "I'm not sure I understand how to steer this thing."

It wasn't electronic, so he couldn't cheat. Unfortunately.

"Back in 1800 it was like the only way to fly," Victor explained. "But even then --"

He shook his head. "C'mon. Let's go before I lose my nerve."

Oh, guess who looked more than a little bit sulky about this.

Because really? These things looked clunky and unmaneuverable and slower than a sleepy bantha with a bad leg. What fun was this going to be?

. . . sorry, Jaina, but this reaction from him was probably predictable.

"Wish really hard?"

Cade was so helpful.

It wasn't that Anakin could tell for sure that something was bothering Jaina, because of the aforementioned shielding, but he had a feeling.

Which was why, after class, he came over and without asking just tried to offer her a hug.
