Driver's Ed [Thursday, Week 7, Period 5]

"This summer seems to have gone by so quickly," Ziva remarked as everyone sat down. The Danger Shop looked like a classroom for the moment, but the way she was grinning might have given everyone a clue that it wouldn't stay like that for long. "But you have all been working very hard, and I believe that you are ready for your final test."

"It might not be a surprise to learn that I enjoy action movies, and that I also love a good car chase," she said. "This one from the Bourne Supremacy in case the link doesn't work in particular is my favorite and it would do you well to pay attention." Once she'd finished the clip, she eagerly hit the Danger Shop controls, and the classroom turned into a Russian marketplace.

"Welcome to Moscow," she said. "Your final test is going to use many of the skills you learned here, to get through a modified version of that car chase. Of course, no one will be shooting at you, and if you crash, you will simply end up back here. Your goal is to get from outside of this market to the end of the tunnel with yourself and your car still intact." She showed them the course they'd be driving on a map, to try to make it clear where they should go. Getting lost was so not the point today. "You may drive on your own, or with a partner, it is entirely up to you." She gave them an excited little clap before waving them off. "Go on, let us see how well you do."

Effy was used to the little country roads around Bristol. This was her place.

When the lights appeared, she glanced up into the rearview mirror with a quirk of a grin. "Get this started, shall we?"

And with that, she put her foot down.

Oh Francine. You might've picked the wrong girl to take this particular final with.

Oh Effy. It could be worse. It could be so much worse. You could be making this drive ten years from now with a pregnant Francine.

"Eep."

Effy looked sideways at Francine at the noise.

"Alright?" Look, she wasn't heartless, checking on her passenger was part of being a good driver, right?

Francine nodded quickly. Pity her head wouldn't stop when she told it to; she ended up looking like they'd brought along their own life-size bobble-head doll. "M'good!"

"Seem a little..." Effy shrugged. "Off."

Not that Effy really knew her normally, but no one was that silently flaily full time, were they?

Full time? No. But she did manage some variation on it fairly frequently.

Francine pasted a slightly less crazed-looking smile on her face and gave her companion a thumbs-up. "Nope, all good here!"
