In the adult years, Alan and Carmen married. Carmen finally shaved the spikes off her body, allowing them to kiss, hug and that jazz. And Alan was still the optimistic person he was years ago. However, there was something he didn't know how to do yet.

He didn't know how to drive.

"Honey, I'm heading out to try and get my driver's lisence...again." It didn't help that he kept on failing the drivers test constantly. But Carmen gave him a nod. "Wish you luck, now hopefully you can pass this time." Alan smiled as he stepped out, blowing a kiss.


"Okay, keep calm..." The balloon muttered as he got in the car, ready for another test. "If you pass this, Carmen will be proud. Just focus on the road, focus on the road..."

The instructor got in the car with Alan. "So, you ready he instructor asked. "Yeah, I think." Alan said while sweating. However, when he looked out the door, he saw Carmen smiling at him.

With just that, he was determined. He started the vehicle and started driving. (Don't ask how, Elmore physics.) As he did, he was able to take turns more easily somehow. And even stopped just in time for the stoplight.

"Good so far, Mr. Keane. But you have one last obstacle to face." The instructor told him. "What is it?" Alan questioned. "That." The instructor pointed a sharply curved road. Alan gulped, but prusued anyways, hoping to achieve victory this time.

The instructor noticed Alan doing well. "My, Mr. Keane, this is the finest you've done so far." No reply, Alan was too focused at the task at hand. "Just once you reach the end, you'll get your driver's lisence."

And sure enough...Alan did it. He passed. This was the happiest he felt in his entire life, and that's saying something. After awhile of taking a picture and getting the lisence, he was confronted by his wife.

"Carmen, I did it!" Alan said happily. "That's wonderful, sweetie!" She pulled him into a tight hug, which Alan returned back. After awhile, they went home happily.


Any suggestions for the next chapter would be wonderful.
