Detention! Saturday morning, Ass O'Clock

[sith_happened]

Diiiiiid Anakin feel the slightest bit bad about exposing students to all of this radiation as they stood outside to un-decorate the school bus?

Well, maybe a slight, slight bit, but he wouldn't admit it. He'd say they shouldn't have defaced a piece of school property during a nuclear winter.

But he had handed out breathing masks!

...Okay, Stormtrooper helmets.

And even modified one for Vette! Wow, what a guy. It almost made up for the fact that he'd put a strict "no powers allowed" rule in place as the three students (and Kanan) were forced to de-floaty the bus--and then clean it and repaint it, in case the duct tape ruined the finish--using nothing more than soapy water, toothbrushes, toothpicks and the smallest paintbrushes Anakin could find that would still hold bus paint correctly.

Hope you didn't have anything else planned for the days, guys.

"Well, this," Prompto admitted, gesturing a little toward the bus as if there was even something else he could be talking, "is probably way more Vette than me. Vehicles in general, I don't know a whole lot about, I'm more electronics and firearms, but, I mean, it's not that hard to try and figure it out if you really think about it. And you're at a disadvantage; we come from worlds that have this stuff, and you don't, and yet you're still sitting there pretty much hacking into all my boys' emails from that cute little phone of yours, and that's nothing to shake a stick at, either."

"It's a really cute phone," she agreed, "and, like, did I tell you I got a tablet?????????"

She could take her hacking into whole new areas with that! FEAR HER. Eventually she was going to need a real computer to get serious about the whole hacking thing, but for now... for now she had enough going on.

"But, like, sometimes it feels like I'll never catch up anyway. I can learn one thing really well, but how do I learn everything that no one here even thinks about?????????"

"You're fiiiiiine," Prompto assured her with a small laugh. "Trust me. You can already do stuff with that phone that people who've been using phones their whole lives probably can't do. And no one can learn everything, anyway. I mean, yeah, okay, I could probably figure out how to hook this bad boy up with a few rocket boosters if I had the right materials, maybe, but hand me a sword, and I'm not going to know what the heck to do with it. Iggy keeps putting me in cooking classes, but I still burn water if I don't pay enough attention."

"Swords are easy!!!!!!!!!" Nina chirped. "Pointy end goes in the bad guys!!!!!!!!!!!"

Nina, no. No.

There was a reason Nina didn't use swords either.

"And, like, you'd think Iggy would learn not to do that to you, too," she mused, "but........ I don't know. It always feels like I'm so behind."

"Nah," said Prompto, "you're just friends with a bunch of nerds."

Which was super true, don't even try to deny it.

"And you have a long way to go," he added, because that was true, too, and he didn't want it to seem like he was just saying what she'd want to hear by complimenting her. "But the fact that you've even managed to get this far is pretty amazing. And," his helmeted head tilted up almost warningly, "if you're still going to argue with me on this point, I am totally throwing this toothbrush at you."

"Do that and you'll get in trouble!!!!!!!!!!" she protested, though it didn't change the fact that she felt, and looked, relieved at his words.

Maybe they were even right.

And if she was doing okay, she'd just have to push herself harder, catch up faster, and that way they wouldn't leave her behind. Right?

"I'm already in trouble!" Prompto declared swiftly. "Might as well make the most of it!"

And there was a toothbrush flying up toward the top of the bus, no where near actually hitting Nina, of course, despite the fact that it should be noted that Prompto was an excellent shot.

And he was a pretty good runner, too, which would be helpful as he went to sprint all the way over to the other side of the bus after that.

To hide.

And get another toothbruth.
