Today, the Dangershop was set to simulate a garage with a number of workstations. The Bentley was back, this time up on a ramp while Bond worked on the undercarriage. "Good afternoon class," he addressed them, wiping grease off his hands with a rag. "Now that I've got some idea of your driving skills, today we're going to be going over cars themselves."

After giving a short lecture on cars and their history, Bond continued. "Now you'll find a number of handouts describing the various systems and components that make up a car, and we'll be going into more detail on them later in the semester, but for this class we'll be focusing on three systems in particular, the engine, a manual transmission, and most importantly, brake systems."

Bond gestured around the room. "I've marked the places in the handouts pertaining to these systems, and set up each of these workstations around the room with an example of each of the three, and I want you to divide into groups of two or three to examine them and get a feel for them. If ou feel the need to take them apart, there are tools provided."

"Oh my gosh, yah you betcha, that's what I was thinkin'," Amber nodded.

Peter smiled, finding her accent to be kind of cute. "You wanna try this part?"

"Okay," she said. "Can't be too hard, can it? Can I hold the dipstick, please?"

Peter handed it over. "Here you go. I've got your back in case something goes wrong."

She chuckled and scrunched up her shoulders. "Hopefully nothin' will seein's how you just poke it in." Amber leaned over the car slightly and pushed the dipstick into it's slot, making sure it was all the way in to get an accurate reading on the oil level. She glanced over at Peter, grinned, and started to pull it out too fast. There was a little popping noise where the tip of the dipstick raked againt the edge on the way out, and flung back, slinging drops of oil at Amber and hopefully not Peter.

A couple of drops did land on him. Peter tried to brush them off his cheeks. He chuckled. "Now I feel better about worrying I'd do the same thing with TK."

Amber was running her hand over her cheeks as well, dragging the oil more than wiping it off. "I'm so sorry, Peter! I hope it didn't get on your clothes. Oh my gosh."

"Don't worry about it," Peter assured her. "Clothes wash. No big deal."

"At least I know now not to pull it out too fast." Amber said, looking at the dipstick. "Now, how can you tell if it needs new oil or not?"

"Should be marked," Peter said. "You look at how high up the oil goes and it'll tell you if it needs more."

"Oh, okay," Amber brought the dipstick closer and peered down at it. "Nope. Think it looks good." She put it back in the car cause really she just didn't want to mess around with oil anymore. "Think we learned somethin' here," she said, standing back and grinning.

"Yep," Peter said. "We learned that beauty queens aren't always who you'd suspect, people with powers aren't always who you'd suspect, and both of them can be equally messy when checking the oil."

She laughed. "I like you, Peter, and thank for bein' my partner today. It was nice gettin' to know you."

"Thanks, Amber," Peter said. "I like you too."
