Author's note: Now I know this isn't exactly a real fan-fic, but hey, cut me a break, will ya? All of this early snow (in my area) has reminded me of my first speeding ticket...
The snow had come early that year, just as this year, and we were hearing words like "white Christmas". Hmm, coincidently we were also hearing such mystical words as "Eagles in the play-offs"... must be the weather. Anyways, I had just recently gotten my license, and it was my first time driving in snow.
My friend and I were driving home from a friend's house in the city. It began to snow as we were cruising along the highway at a comfortable 65 miles an hour. (I should note that both of us were avid Star Wars fans and were practically itching for TPM!) The snow wasn't very heavy. It was coming down in those big wet flakes that sorta stick on the highway for about .2 seconds before they melt. It was the perfect snow for what has come to be known between me and my friend, as "hyper-space snow". Yeah, you know what I'm talking about. When the snow seems to come straight at you and it's dark outside so all you can see are these white streaks. Naturally, we both noticed this "hyper-space" phenomenon almost immediately. My friend pushed in the Star Wars soundtrack tape (after looking for the damn thing for about 20 minutes!) and, well, it really set the mood. You know what I mean.
The speedometer began to show a steady acceleration, and before we knew it, my trusty old Millennium Falcon (er Buick) was cruising along at 95 miles an hour (kids, DO NOT TRY THIS! BAD WEATHER + OLD CAR + SHITTY BREAKS = DISASTER!) And suddenly, out of nowhere, the space around us was flashing red and blue and, well, you can figure the rest out. I didn't mind too much, however, because, well, it was kinda funny when I was explaining to the officer WHY I was speeding. I think that if I hadn't been going so fast he wouldn't have given me a ticket. But he did. I deserved it. But let me tell ya, it was damn fun too!
Too bad ships this small really don't have cloaking devices! ;)
Feedback? It is the Christmas season after all.........
