Anakin was standing in front of an endlessly long line full of weary, cranky travelers. "Welcome to the Chicago-O'Hare International Airport," he said with a tiny grin. "Commercial air travel on this planet are the reason Jaina and I fly our own crafts."

Well, not really, but truth and Anakin were...strange acquaintances.

"Something like that," Jaina said slowly. She was still nursing yesterday's hangover, she was gonna let that one slide. "And while you might've been in an airport or two for the portal terminal, flying is entirely different. And takes longer. And makes you deal with people."

"Stupid people," Anakin added oh-so-charitably. "But in their defense, I don't know why they make you take your shoes off."

"In case you're hiding something in them that you probably couldn't get to anyway because you have no leg room," Jaina answered.

"Another reason I fly myself," Anakin admitted. "I don't fit. Anyway, your challenge today is to get through this line, and then all the way to the very last gate in this terminal--" at least a mile away because Chicago didn't play, "--in the next, ohhhh, forty minutes before your flight leaves."

There would be some sprinting, kids.

"There will also be places to stop if you want coffee, or whatever," Jaina said. "If you have time."

They would not have time.

Or argue with TSA! But that's not going to help.

The line itself could have been worse, Rey thought. It took a long time, but she should still have time to get to-

And then she saw the clock and realized how long she'd been in the line, and began to get anxious.

When she finally made it to the scanner, she walked through, only to have it go off. So she went through again. And then they started with the wand to try and figure out what was setting it off, only she didn't have any metal on her and they weren't finding anything.

When they finally let her go, she ran towards the gate, only to get blocked by a crowd that didn't seem to need to get anywhere in a hurry, and she couldn't find a way to weave through them and get anywhere, so she had to trail behind and get more irritated until she finally found a spot to move to that allowed her to take off past them.

She made it to the gate! Just in time to stand by it with a bunch of people who were in boarding group like, four, but who had to stand right by the door so they could be first on the plane after a hundred other people like it even made a difference at this point.

Between having no memories all weekend and the bleedover from everyone else's having no memories because she hadn't known to tighten her shields, Ahsoka did not start the exercise off in the best of moods.

And that was before the TSA agents started telling her to take off her 'hat'.

"You will let me pass without any more trouble."

Ahsoka, trying to mind trick the Danger Shop probably wasn't going to work.

Tali, like a lot of quarians, had some cybernetic implants. Not to mention a lot of metal components in that suit she couldn't take off unless she wasn't actually all that attached to living (which she was).

. . . she didn't even make the flight. Thanks, TSA. Was it sad that she was accustomed enough to most of the galaxy's anti-quarian bias to recognize when she needed to stop trying to argue with the security agents so she wouldn't get arrested?

"And I thought C-Sec was bad," she grumbled. If she ever managed to track Garrus down, she'd be complaining to him about this.

"You ask me? YOU'RE the terrorists," Frank told the TSA agent.

Frank was not going to get past security due to the liquids rule.

Once you catch your breath.

Jaina was here. Jaina also had a headache. But, so did the students after this, probably.

Natalie said, "Think we travel too much?" as we wrote this waaaaaaaaaay too easily.

I'm not entirely sure my parts are even totally IC but you know what, I speaking the truth through RP.
