Flight and Flying- Tuesday- 2nd period

[solo_sword]

Class was going to be held in the flight shed with the simulators, and Jaina actually looked pretty happy to be back in here.

"Welcome to Flight and Flying," she greeted the class. "I'm Jaina Solo Fel, Fandom alumni and professional pilot." Former. Whatever. "In this class, you're going to get to fly different things from different places. Some of it will be from Earth, you'll get some spaceships, you'll get some other stuff. But today, we're starting with a spaceship because it's my favorite.

"Today we're going to learn about X-wings. You'll have weapons and you'll have shields, so I'm going to run you guys through the basics and then I'm going to let you dogfight. Also, I don't know most of you so tell me who you are and if there's anything you definitely want me to cover,"

Fly!

Jaina ran everyone through the basics of how to use the simulator and how an X-wing worked, and then they would get to try it out when TIE fighters came out of nowhere to shoot at you.

So fight them off, and help each other out maybe!

"This. Is. AMAZING!" said Graham, who had been practically buzzing with excitement to get into the cockpit pretty much since word one on Jaina's instructions...and he hadn't even gotten started yet.

So once he did finally buckle in and focus on the actual flying of it all, you'll have to forgive the frequent whoops and hollers that burst out of him when he managed to do even the most rudimentary things, much less when he decided to be bold and try a flip (he was ambitious, yes, but he was also a very quick study), and then the TIE fighters came in and he let out a little "Oh no!" and set to focus on how to fight them back.

Complete with "pew pew!" sounds whenever he shot his weapon.

How he knew how to pew pew when weapons that pew pew'd didn't really exist in his world was anyone's guess. Maybe some things were just multiversinal.

Oh, okay, it was kind of like a video game. Gray was bad at video games, but this seemed fun!

It was, however, also an enclosed space with a chair, so gradually his movements started getting more sluggish and erratic as he struggled to stay awake.

Lana was a halfway decent pilot, but dogfighting wasn't really her thing. She dodged a shot, then shot back, and blinked when the TIE exploded right away.

"What's the point in fighting ships without shields?" she wondered aloud. "It's hardly realistic." All ships had shields, right?
