Toph and Penance are back at their campsite. Sokka has to admit he isn't quite sure where this Metropolis is any more, or if they're even driving in the right direction -- but nobody really minds. There's plenty of food and water around, they've still got heaps of spare fuel, and all four teens are having the time of their lives racketing around the countryside.
Currently Claire is teaching Sokka a few more of the finer points of driving. Or at least, that's their excuse. There's a lot of laughing and the occasional squeal -- WHICH IS TOTALLY NOT FROM SOKKA, NUH UH -- as they rattle along the road and occasionally come to a screeching halt.

"I did not need to think of a pig and a chicken doing it."

Brakes! Although not quickly enough for whiplash this time. Even if it's only for a second, he doesn't want to hurt her.
They come to a slow, sliding halt, perfectly safely, halfway into the ditch.

"You are so lucky they don't have driver's ed in this world anymore."
no subject
"I meant to do that."
no subject
"Oh yeah, of course you did. There was probably a very good reason for it, too."
no subject
The car's wheels spin in the dirt at the edge of the road when he starts it again, and he looks slightly dismayed.
"...uh, what does that noise mean?"
no subject
"Someone's going to have to get out and push."
no subject
no subject
"...I'll stay by the steering wheel."
no subject
He doesn't sound too upset about it.
"I just push at the back of it -- while you accelerate? Or what?"
no subject
She's trying to sound like she knows more than she does - which isn't much at all.
"I'll just keep it in neutral, and you need to... actually, push the front so I can reverse out?"
no subject
"-----is it working?"
no subject
Vrrrrrrmmm.
Vrrrrrrrmmmmmmmm.
"Uh. No!" Claire calls back, then has a BRILLIANT IDEA.
She leaves the car in neutral and keeps the handbrak off and hops out to help.
"I'm not taking my shirt off, though."
