A/N: Thank you so much to UserName123476 and koolkat2582 for the extremely kind reviews, they brightened my day so much! You both are too kind. This chapter doesn't have very much to do with an actual driving lesson, but the idea wouldn't leave me alone so I wrote it anyway.

The group was running errands again, this time in an area a bit further away. There was a freeway involved, but Shion had become more comfortable with driving fast enough to keep up with the other cars on the freeway so it wasn't a problem. After stopping at a large store, they were heading to the last shop they needed to visit when Rikiga shouted suddenly.

"Guys! You'll never believe this!"

Unfortunately, Shion hadn't been expecting this, and lost control of the car again. Unlike the first lesson, however, he didn't regain control until the car had already crashed into a tree in the parking lot they had just entered.

"Rikiga! Why do you keep yelling like that?" Nezumi demanded angrily; his car had taken such a beating the past few lessons that he had doubted it would last much longer even before the crash. Now he was seriously annoyed, since he knew with his luck, he was going to have to buy yet another car, and he had barely finished paying off this one.

"Relax, relax, I'll pay for it," Rikiga said dismissively, causing Nezumi's jaw to drop. That was extremely out of character for Rikiga, which meant something seriously suspicious must be going on. Rikiga continued, "Check this out! I've won the lottery!"

Now Shion and Inukashi's jaws dropped as well. "What, really?" Inukashi asked, eyes wide. "Let me see!" she cried, reaching for the ticket. After staring at it for several minutes, her eyes widened. "No way! You actually won the lottery!"

"Yup! I'm rich now," laughed Rikiga. Inukashi started digging through one of the bags of stuff they'd bought.

"What are you looking for?" Shion asked curiously.

"More lottery tickets. I wanna win too!" Inukashi explained. She eventually found one and eagerly stared at it, before sighing. "Nope. Didn't win."

Rikiga blinked in confusion. "Wait, what? But that's the fake lottery ticket I bought. It's one of those ones that looks like you won but you actually didn't. I bought it for one of my coworkers who's always annoying me. I wanted to trick him."

Inukashi frowned, "It doesn't look like it won, though."

Rikiga grabbed the ticket and looked at it, his confusion growing. "That's wierd, you're right. I guess it wasn't a very good fake lottery ticket."

By this point Shion had figured out what probably happened. "Um, Rikiga," he spoke up. "I think you might have mistaken the fake lottery ticket for the real one..."

"Ridiculous, I wouldn't have- Oh. I did." Rikiga stated, disappointedly. "Aww, man, I really thought I won the lottery."

"I'm still holding you to that promise to pay for the car," Nezumi said.
