Try Not to Die!!! [Tuesday, June 11, 2013]

Ben and Anakin were waiting in their usual spot for their students to arrive. "Welcome to Kaz-" Ben frowned, then tried again. "Kazik--"

"Kazakhstan," Anakin finished for him. "It's a country in central Asia."

Rory had told him. Shhh.

"It's cooler there than our last destination, so you will not be getting wet," he continued. "I'm not guaranteeing anything about not getting messy, though."

Isn't he reassuring, class?

Ben shook his head. "Race hard, be safe, don't tick anyone off, and we'll see you at the end of the class."

Anakin just stared at the cow costume for a while. "I have a bad feeling about this."

What, like you wouldn't.

Raven was very, very tempted to cheat and just mimic the whole cow costume herself, but finally decided that it would be too easy to get caught.

"Well," she said, coming up to where Anakin was standing. "At least it isn't muddy."

"Sure. This week," Anakin replied, still giving the cow costume the most dubious look in the universe. "There had to be a catch after the astral water slide from last week."

"You didn't think that was fun?" No, Raven, not everyone is a burgeoning adrenaline junkie.

"What? No, I loved it," Anakin said quickly. Thanks, ridiculous GFFA colloquialisms! "I stayed and did it again after class, actually."

"You stayed after class?" It hadn't even occurred to Raven to do such a thing. "How'd you find your way back?"

"Well, not very long. I had another class to get to." Anakin scrubbed a hand through his hair. "Anyway, I was with Ben and our grandfather at the time."

"Oh," Raven said, feeling slightly foolish. "I didn't realize you all were related."

Her universe hadn't yet developed it's enormous family dynasties yet, after all.

"No, it's okay," Anakin tried to reassure her. "I've had a lot of family here at some point or other, but I don't like making a big deal out of it."

"It must be nice," Raven decided. "Having so much family around."

"Oh, sure." Hey, it wasn't his jerk of a brother. He might complain then. "But with all of the ones here now on the faculty, do you have any idea how hard I have to try not to get in trouble?"

"You mean they don't let you get away with anything?" Raven asked. "Golly, what is family for then?"

"Making sure I don't get into trouble without at least one of them along?"

Sad but true.

"It's sort of a family tradition." Because they were all ridiculous.

"If your whole family is like these two," Raven said, "then I don't doubt that."

Anakin opened his mouth, shut it again, and promptly adopted a sheepish expression. "Well . . . basically, yes."
