"So you're going to be giving her driving lessons, yo?"
"I don't think so..."said Lance.
"Why not, yo?"
Lance put his head in his hands, remembering how he'd seen the van hop the curve, and phase through the telephone pole with Logan almost turning white.
"I've seen her drive. I mean, what if...? Then I won't have my jeep anymore. It's either Kitty or the jeep."
"Bummer, yo."
"There's no reason why you can't have both."said Pietro.
"I haven't seen that van since that time coming out of the supermarket. It probably needed some serious repairs. Not to mention, I saw parts left behind in the pole, after it phased."
"That's because she hasn't been taught by an expert. If you were to teach her, she'd learn in no time. I mean, you've seen Summers drive. She'll be driving like an old lady before she graduates."
"Summers?"
"Who else do you think would be giving her lessons? That's probably why her driving is so bad. Probably took advantage that it was Logan giving her the lessons, and not Summers. I mean, why else would she come to you? With your expert training, she'll be great. And that way, you have both Kitty and the jeep."
Lance thought about that. After all, what business did Summers have teaching Kitty? Pietro was right. Kitty just needed someone like him to give her lessons. He smiled.
"You're right, Pietro."
"Of course I am."said Pietro. "When am I not right?"
"So you're going to do it, yo?"
"Of course."
"Poor guy."said Wanda. "The jeep won't last long."
"You think so?"asked Fred.
"Of course. I saw it."
"She's that bad, yo?"
"The worse. It won't last."
"I bet it won't last one ride."said Pietro.
"Five minutes."said Wanda.
"Half an hour, yo."
"It won't make it out of the driveway."
"I'll bet the boots from my uniform."
"My make up."
"Porn."
"My cookbook."
They ran each to get their most prized possessions.
"Who's going to keep an eye on them, yo?"
Pietro stuffed them all under one of the highly useful loose floorboards.
"The one who wins, gets everything."
"What if no one wins, yo?"
"Someone's bound to. That jeep won't last."
"Okay, I'll go get the keys."said Lance.
"Don't you keep them by the door?"asked Kitty.
"No, they stay in my room."
"Oh."
"Want my lucky rabbits foot, yo? Better safe than sorry, you know."
"I don't need your rabbits foot."
"Fine with me, yo."
"Well, we could at least say good bye to the jeep. We may never see it again."said Wanda.
"You guys are just dumb!"
"Okay,"he said, handing Kitty the keys.
She grabbed them, and climbed in.
"Scott never lets me pick the station."she said, as she switched the radio on.
"I'll do it."he said.
He never let anyone touch anything in the jeep. The rest of the Brotherhood watched from one of the upstairs windows.
"You lost, yo."Toad told Fred.
"But half of the jeep went into the garage across the street. And the lawn."
"Doesn't count."said Pietro.
They watched as the jeep went through people's living rooms, their garages, trees, and even someone one's dog, and out of sight.
"Isn't the school parking lot closed? The gates?"said Lance.
"Not a problem."said Kitty.
"Oh, no, don't!"
They phased through the front gates.
"Well, now that we're here, there's not obstacles, no cars, no trees, no dogs. Why don't you just drive around, then can practice parking."
They ended up inside a classroom.
"Don't worry, I can get us out of here."she said.
They phased out of the classroom, and into one of the restrooms.
"Oh, wow. It's dirty in here."she said, looking around. "Never knew the boys' bathrooms were so filthy. Don't they clean in here?"
"Maybe that's it for today? I think I noticed the lights in the hall a while ago."
"Then we'll just go straight. That way, we can get out faster. Shortest distance between two points is a straight line."
They sped past several classrooms, the cafeteria, and the gym, and were back on the street again.
"Just in time for curfew. Tomorrow?"she asked, as she climbed out of the jeep.
He only nodded.
"Great."
