?What now??

He sighed. ?Put the keys in the ignition and turn.?

?Which way??

?What??

?Which way do I turn the key??

He cupped his face in his hands. ?The only way it WILL turn.?

?It?s not starting.?

?Put your foot on the clutch.?

?It?s on the clutch.?

?That?s the break.?

?Then which one?s the clutch??

?The one to your left?FAR left.?

?Oh. Okay?.Now what??

?Put your foot on the break.?

?But my foot?s on the clutch??

?OTHER. Your OTHER foot on the break.?

?My right foot??

He whimpered. ?Yes. Your right foot.?

?Okay?Now what??

?Start the car.?

The engine started, and they sat as she looked incredibly pleased.

?Yes!!!! I?m on my way!!!! Wooo!?

He slammed his head on the dashboard.

?You have to put the car in gear and drive.?

?How do I go about doing that??

?Release the parking break.?

She moaned as the lever wouldn?t budge.

?It?s stuck.?

?No it?s not. You can do this.?

She grunted as the lever wouldn?t budge.

?It?s not moving.?

?If you can?t release the parking break, then I?m not going to teach you how to drive this.?

She grabbed it with both hands and tugged. The car died as her foot left the clutch.

?Oops?.Well?The break?s off?.That?s good!!!?

?We?re going back?we?re going back?AAAAAHHHHHH??START THE CAR AND PRESS THE BREAK!!!! START THE CAR AND PRESS THE BREAK!!!!?

She did as she was told, and looked at him.

?See? Nothing to worry about. Everything?s under control. Now?which one is the gear button??

?The lever in the middle of the car.?

???..?

?Not the dashboard, Relena. The MIDDLE of the car?.Right beside you.?

?Nifty! What now??

?First?.Second?.Third?.Fourth?.Fifth?Reverse.?

?Okay?I want reverse??

?Do you plan on driving into the garage??

?Not immediately.?

?Then, yes. Reverse. Keep your foot on the?Too late.?

?Blast it! It died!?

?You can?t take your foot off the clutch.?

?The heck I can?t!!!!?

?I?m leaving.?

?Get in this car and teach me how to drive or I?ll kill you.?

?Mission denied.?

?I?ll never touch you again.?

????

?Yes, Mr. Yuy, that includes sex. Now get in.?

?Hn.?

?Now?.Keep the clutch on?.and?..in reverse?right??

?Yeah.?

?Okay??

?Now?Slowly release the break, and we?ll start to AHHHHHHHHHH!!!! NOT THE GAS! Take your foot off the gas!!!!!?

?Weeeeeee!!!! Blast it!?

?You CAN?T take your foot off the clutch!!!?

?I didn?t!!!?

?I did nothing to deserve this??

?Okay?.One more time??

?We?re in the middle of the road?I suggest you hurry.?

?Curse that Doppler effect. Freaks me out every time?

?Relena?Get out of the car.?

?No. I?m driving.?

He sighed.

?Keep your foot on the clutch when you change gears??

?I?m still in reverse?Ok?.Now I want to go forward?what do I do??

?Keep your foot on the clutch.?

?Duh.?

?Move the stick to first.?

??K.?

?Slowly press the gas, and keep your foot on the clutch?but ease up on that??

?On what??

?While slowly pushing on the gas??

?Yes.?

That always seems to be her trump card for getting Heero to do anything. :D
Well I learned to drive a stick before I drove an automatic so it is not a problem for me. :razz:
Excuse me while I duck. *ducks as varoius pointed objects and rotten friuts zing overhead*
This was perfect. I'm saveing this one for the next time I get home after some idiot driver does something monumentally stupid right in front of me. 8)
