Driver's Ed, March 24th, Periods 1-2

Today, the Shop is set up to look like a busy city street.

"Today, guys, you're going to practice driving in an environment that has a little more in the way of distractions. Also, now that you have a little bit of driving experience, we're going to start learning to park properly.

I want you to attempt parallel parking, parking on a hill, and backing in to a parking space."

Okay, so Anders resets the shop a couple of times at first while parallel parking, because he backs in too fast.

But once he figures out that he should probably be going a lot slower, he's actually pretty good at it. Which makes no sense unless you want to formulate some bizarre theory about Pyramid players being able to calculate angles pretty well in their heads, however unconsciously.

The rest? A breeze.

"Not bad, Conner," Tommy says absently, marking something down on a clipboard.

Anders just stares at Tommy.

"My name's not Conner."

"Of course it isn't, Conner," Tommy says, as if this should be obvious.

Anders keeps staring. "Then how come you keep calling me that?"

"You've been calling me Conner for weeks now," says Anders, who's starting to wonder if maybe the smart doctor glasses aren't all they're cracked up to be.

"It *may* have slipped out once or twice," Tommy admits.

"Okaaaaaaaaaaay," says Anders. "Why?"

"You bear a passing resemblance to a former student with that name."

"Oh, frak," says Anders. "This isn't one of those weird lookalike things like Crichton and Mitchell. Please tell me it isn't."

"Not... exactly. It's actually your attitude that's similar."

Anders perks up a little. "Does he play Pyramid?"

"Soccer, actually," Tommy says. He's not sure what Pyramid is, exactly, but he's pretty sure it's a sport.

"Oh! Soccer! I know what that is." Anders nods very, very seriously. "Cool. But see, Doctor O, I'm still not Conner."

Tommy just shakes his head. And facepalms.
