Driver's Ed [Thursday, Week 5, Period 5]

"Good afternoon," Ziva said, greeting the students as they assembled in the Danger Shop. The racetrack was gone today, replaced with, of all things, a bumper car arena.

"I am aware that this weekend was highly unpleasant for many of you, and so I decided that a stress-relieving activity might be best for today," she said. "If any of you require someone with whom to speak about the last week, I would certainly be happy to listen. Otherwise, enjoy yourselves here. This is not all for fun though. Learning how to drive in close proximity with other vehicles and avoid oncoming collisions will serve you well for the final class. Try to keep those things in mind while you are crashing into each other." Surely, they could multitask a little.

Since Arthur had no idea what the Indy 500 was, he just felt she looked like she had found mild retardation after being smacked in the head by too many pounds of fish, but for the moment, he would keep that opinion to himself, and hit the pedal.

So to speak.

It got him out of range slightly, allowing him to turn.

Not mentally compromised, just mentally five years old again.

Dinah kept up ramming speed, aiming for the front of his car now, and sat back to brace for impact, grinning. It was by main force that she didn't let herself make engine noises as she did so.

Now, Dinah. Five seemed optimistic.

Faced with an insane two-year-old woman coming at him, Arthur did the only sensible thing and hit the pedal as hard as she hit hers. His facial expression told her in no small words how completely ridiculous she was being.

CRAAAAAASH!!

bounce

Ridiculous or not, it was totally worth it.

Dinah car went bouncing off Arthur's into the inner rail, backwards, leaving her cackling and trying to turn her car to move it again. Futilely, at the moment.

Arthur... was trying to get his own car under control.

He had some luck, which he was going to focus into a retaliation by heading towards her tail rather hard. Just once! More than that would be unchivalrous.

Which got her un-stuck, as it happened, and spinning out sideways. Wheeee!

"Thank you!" she called, very slowly turning her car one way, then correcting the other, teeth still jittering from the impact.

If Arthur did this well in real life, he'd be driving a cab in New Gotham in a week. Most people, it'd take a month!

One day, Arthur was going to wind up in one of these cities, and wind up very recklessly driving a motorcycle in the middle of a big fight scene, at the rate this was going.

As it stood, Arthur took a moment to feel satisfied with himself anyway, then turned the car.
