A/N: Finally I'm able to update again! I've been super busy preparing for school to start again. Speaking of school, once it starts I'm going to have a lot less time to write, unfortunately. Actually, there will be several days a week that I won't be able to write at all, and homework and studying will take up a lot of time as well. However, I am not going to abandon this fanfiction. Even if I can't update as much as I'd like to, I will still update every chance I get! Thank you so much to Eveyleinchen and PrincessTutu22 for the very kind reviews! In response to PrincessTutu22's question, I wasn't planning to continue the previous chapter, but I might continue it in a separate fanfiction, if you want. It will probably take awhile, though, since I'll be spending any free time I have writing this fanfiction.
Shion had no idea what he was getting himself into when he decided to try parallel parking. Nezumi's idea was simple enough; he put two empty trash cans by the side of the road and Shion was supposed to park between them. However, while they weren't looking, Rikiga replaced the empty trash cans with ones that were full of garbage.
During Shion's first attempt, he didn't stop the car soon enough and ran into the trash can in front of the car. This resulted in the trash can falling over, with garbage going everywhere.
"Huh? I thought that was empty." Nezumi said, confused.
"Well, yeah, it was. I figured that it would be more realistic to use a full one, because running into an empty trash can wouldn't be as bad as running into a car-" Rikiga explained.
"That was the point," Nezumi retorted.
"But-"
Nezumi didn't bother listening to Rikiga's excuses, instead choosing to go clean up the garbage and put the now empty trash can back in place. Upon returning to the car, he instructed Shion to back out of the space so he could try again.
Seconds later, he would wish he had thought to check the other trash can as well.
Shion backed up into the other trash can, causing it to spill its contents on the car. Nezumi sighed as he glanced at the mirror to see how much garbage had landed on the car.
"I just washed the car yesterday..." he muttered.
After removing the garbage, washing the car, and replacing the trash cans (after checking each five times to ensure they were definitely empty), Nezumi suggested Shion try again.
Now that the garbage cans were empty, it wasn't a problem if Shion ran into them so he was able to practice until he was able to park between the garbage cans without running into them. At that point, Rikiga suggested they use garbage cans with garbage in them again. Nezumi and Inukashi just glared at him.
