Driving Lessons(Cait)
Rufus had finished his driving course to get his Learner's permit and hadn't had much luck using it. Most people didn't seem to want to be in the car with him to help him learn to drive. So he hadn't had much chance to learn to drive better than he currently could. But there still was someone he could try and get to drive with him, Cait. Family was great for getting to do things no one else seemed to want to do and he really did want to learn how to drive and get off the stupid learner's permit as soon as he could.

He was looking around the mansion to find her and probably going to use the excuse of holiday shopping for doing some driving.

	"Maybe," Rufus says keeping up the puppy dog eyes, "Please Cait." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Cait sighed. "Fine." Gods help her. What was she getting herself into? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Thank you. Thank you," Rufus says, "You won't regret this." He ran out to get ready to go. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I think I already am," she muttered and grabbed her coat. Now she just had to go ask to use one of the cars. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Rufus was downstairs in the garage in no time. He was down the to meet Cait and grab a car to drive. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	It had taken a lot of convincing, but eventually Cait persuaded Uncle Scott to let her take his car. She'd have to help with more classes in the new semester. Cait arrived in the garage. "Ready?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	ablaze 2012-12-16 02:00 am UTC (link)
	"Yep," Rufus says grinning, "Can I have the keys?" He really wanted to make sure that he was going to be the one driving. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	_tsunami_ 2012-12-16 02:02 am UTC (link)
	"I'm so going to regret this," she said and handed him the keys. "Any crazy driving and I'll never take you driving again. Understand?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	ablaze 2012-12-16 02:06 am UTC (link)
	"No you won't," Rufus says taking the keys, "I won't. I'll be on my best behavior." He did not want to risk not driving. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"You better be," she said. She opened the passenger's side door and climbed in. Cait fastened her seat belt and wished she had made a bucket list and done some of the things on it. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	ablaze 2012-12-16 02:17 am UTC (link)
	"OK," Rufus says running over to the driver's seat and getting in. He waits for Cait before turning on the car. "Where's the garage door opener?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	_tsunami_ 2012-12-16 02:18 am UTC (link)
	"Seat belt first, then adjust mirrors," she said. "On the visor." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	ablaze 2012-12-16 02:22 am UTC (link)
	"OK right," Rufus says grabbing his seat belt before checking his mirror. He then grabbed the garage door opener and clicked it. "Is that good?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	_tsunami_ 2012-12-16 02:25 am UTC (link)
	"Yes," she answered. "Just take it easy. Please." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	ablaze 2012-12-16 02:28 am UTC (link)
	"Got it," Rufus says backing up slowly and a little jerkily. He was of course looking behind him as he did. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	_tsunami_ 2012-12-16 02:56 am UTC (link)
	Cait managed to stay quiet while Rufus was maneuvering the car out of the garage. She was going to be as good about this as she could. No yelling or constantly telling him what to do. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Rufus definitely appreciated being allowed to concentrate as he worked on driving. He changed from reverse to drive once he though he had it right to drive out of the mansion. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	_tsunami_ 2012-12-16 03:04 am UTC (link)
	Cait kept calm and didn't even grab the door handle. "Not bad," she said. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	ablaze 2012-12-16 03:08 am UTC (link)
	"Thanks," Rufus says grinning. The driving got less jerky as he got more used to the gas petal. Though the stop at the end of the drive way was sudden and a bit abrupt. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"May want to work on stopping or you're going to give yourself and passengers whiplash. Apply pressure to the brake gently and consistently. Give yourself some room to stop." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	ablaze 2012-12-17 03:23 am UTC (link)
	"OK," Rufus says taking the advice. He was going to try his best for that though it would take sometime to get down. He turned down the road to head towards the stopping mall. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Don't forget turn signals when you want to turn," she said. She was trying not to nag, but she didn't want him forgetting things. Cait had their mother teach her how to drive. Mom was a lot calmer about things than Dad. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Rufus nodded to the affirmative. He kept on trying to pay attention to everything. It was a lot to get used too. He was driving just above the speed limit for now. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	_tsunami_ 2012-12-17 07:48 pm UTC (link)
	"Keep it under the speed limit," Cait said. "I can't have you getting a ticket. Mom will yell at you. She'll /kill/ me." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	ablaze 2012-12-20 02:21 am UTC (link)
	"Fine," Rufus says, "But she will probably yell at me about something anyways." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
