Flight and Flying [Friday morning]

[emo-padawan.livejournal.com]

When the flight workshop arrived at the shed, they found it locked up tight and Anakin leaning up against it.

Wearing a beanie.

And a sullen expression, but that was kind of a given.

"For our last class," he said, "we're going to fly helicopters. The pilot's waiting for us over at Selkie Cove. Come grab a hat--and no, they're not optional--and then we'll head over together."

He even had one Faithful-sized. Anakin was thorough.

"Yeah." Dean glanced at Anakin. "Going to be one less soon."

Anakin's cheeks went red. "Thanks," he said quietly. "But give it a couple of weeks, you'll hardly know I was ever here."

"Optimism" and "Anakin" had never been particularly well acquainted.

Dean snorted. "Yeah, we're all gonna get amnesia and be all 'Anakin who?'" He shook his head. "Pretty sure that's not going to happen."

Anakin smiled. "Maybe I should put up a statue in the park in my own honor or something, just to be sure."

"I'm sure the ducks would appreciate it," Dean joked.

"That settles it, then," Anakin replied, eyes sparkling. "I'll get started on it right now."

Dean grinned. "You gonna go for something in stone or a nice elegant looking bronze?"

Re: Talk to Anakin

[emo-padawan.livejournal.com]

"Stone," Anakin said, nodding. "At least fifty feet tall. Possibly visible from space. Might as well go for the gusto, right?"

"Why not? You could have a saber in one hand and an abacus in the other. Y'know, for your grand future as metaphysical accountant."

Re: Talk to Anakin

Anakin grinned. "I can see it already. One hell of an eyesore. It'll be great."

"Until it comes to life and tries to stomp the school." Dean grinned. "This being Fandom and all."

"Guaranteed immortality," Anakin said, laughing. "'Remember when Anakin crushed the Humanities wing?'"

Dean chuckled. "They'll add you to the spiel they give to new students: wee tiny bunnies, mummies, jello dragons and the giant Anakin that took out Humanties."

"Perfect," Anakin said. "I definitely want to be part of the tour."

Re: Talk to Anakin

Dean nodded. "Of course, the statue will have had to be destroyed when it went on the war path so that all that's left are your feet. But they'd become the new makeout spot in the park."

Anakin laughed. "Perfect, considering the whole 'no attachments' part of the Jedi lifestyle."
