Kapitel Zwei: Fahren mit Herr Arthur

XXXXXXXXXX

For the moment, Dennis and Douglas were waiting around together somewhere within a park. Both were in their school uniforms.

"He said that we were going on a drive, and for us to wait here since he'll come to pick us up," Dennis told Douglas as they waited.

"He told me the same thing," Douglas revealed. "I wonder if he's got a license now?" He then waved off with a hand. "Either way, I didn't know he could handle any other vehicles besides fighters and SPAAs."

"Dennis, Douglas, sorry to keep you waiting," the two heard Arthur coming up.

Dennis turned and greeted. "Ah, Sir Ar-"

He stopped upon noticing Arthur come alongside them atop a horse. He was in full horseback wear, as well.

"Shall we drive?" Arthur suggested with a smile and a two-fingered salute.

"Wait a minute!" Both Dennis and Douglas exclaimed in surprise.

"Oh, didn't you know?" Arthur continued. "I got into horseback riding lately!" He then petted his horse along its mane. "This girl's name is 'Blue Mountain.'"

"That's a bloody coffee..." Dennis deadpanned. He soon recovered. "But that aside, horses can be dangerous. Do you know how to properly ride one?"

"Oh, how rude of you!" Arthur replied. "Behold my technique!" He then snapped the reins on his horse. "Hiya!" he proclaimed as he set off.

About a minute later, the horse came back, but Arthur was no longer on it. Upon seeing he wasn't on it, Dennis and Douglas set off to find Arthur.

Soon enough, they found him hanging on a tree branch by the back of his coat. "What a blunder!" Arthur remarked with a smile, as if not caring about his current situation. "But even with setbacks like this, it's still fun."

"Please give us a break," Dennis lamented. Douglas had a similar expression.

"Oh, I know!" Arthur spoke up as he clapped his hands. "Since I talked about a drive, I have a way that includes proper seats for you, too! Now come on!"

A little later, Arthur was using his horse to tow a carriage that had Dennis and Douglas as its passengers. The two passengers looked somewhat hypnotized as they sat there while Arthur chauffeured them.

Eventually, they got out onto the ship's roads, and they soon stopped at a stoplight. As they waited, the 8,8 cm Flak 37 Sfl. belonging to Ooarai stopped alongside them at the light. For some reason, it was aboard the HMS Ark Royal, and Erich was on the left of the gun with the rest of his friends crewing it. All were in their normal school attire.

Erich casually looked to his left before turning back. However, he turned back again to get a better look of the horse and carriage beside them.

'I think I've seen everything now,' Erich thought as he looked on in just a bit of bewilderment at the scene of Arthur chauffeuring around Dennis and Douglas with a horse and carriage.

Soon, though, Erich grew a competitive grin. He pointed forward up at the light ahead. He nodded to Arthur, and the Brit returned it with a similar grin as David revved up the Maybach engine of the FAMO in preparation for the oddest of races.
