When the students arrived, Alec was standing where one would normally find Anakin (the padawan was watching, but seeming very hung-over or perhaps sick ~~or maybe his player was on vacation - who knows?~~). And in front of him, there were two shiny swoop bikes

As well as the silly helmets from last week, one of which Alec was holding under his arm.

"So, Anakin wants us all to do some real flying this time around," Alec said by way of greeting. "Next week is the Coruscant trip and he doesn't want any of us freezing when we've got real controls in front of us.

"This one," he said, indicating the first bike. "Is Anakin's. The other one? Is mine. Don't crash either of them, or we'll be annoyed. The bikes can hit about 400 klicks, but you don't actually have to go that fast." He held up the helmet that he'd had under his arm so everyone could see. "I'll be wearing this so I can talk to you while you're buzzing around the island. Don't go over water, don't go towards the mainland, and don't crash into any rock faces, okay?"

Alec gave the class a demonstration of the bike's controls.

"Now get out there and don't die."

[ooc: ~~Wait for OCD!~~ Sorry it's so late, try not to kill yourselves because Anakin's around-but-not and Alec has no idea what Coruscant's going to be like so you can bug him but he'll probably just get annoyed.]

Finally a flight class that didn't have him hyperventilating. To Dean's mind the bikes were bikes and inspired no more fear than a regular motorcycle would.

Besides, he'd already got to drive one of these things and it was a hell of a lot of fun once he could stop worrying about Alec.

He put on the helmet, got on the bike and took off.

This? Was going to be fun.

Alec snickered through the comm system. "Doesn't seem like you're having any trouble this time."

"That's because this isn't flying," Dean explained as if it was patently obvious. "It's driving something that just doesn't have wheels. It's completely different." He was quickly leaving the class site behind him as he accelerated towards the beach.

"Uh-huh," Alec said, amused. "Whatever gets you flying, man."

"Stop trying to harsh my buzz, dude," Dean complained good naturedly as he reached the beach and really let the bike go. "It's a bike. Bikes don't fly. So ergo, I'm not flying."

"Try not to go off any jumps then," he suggested.

"That would be leaping, not flying," Dean countered. He pressed down on the accelerator and couldn't hold back a loud whoop as the bike really took off.
