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.

	Cait was preparing the last of her Saturnalia gifts for people. It was only two days away and she was going to finish before the 17th rolled around. Every year she tried to get done early, but something always came up. She hummed as she worked in her room. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	Rufus knocked on Cait's door. "Cait," He says as he continues to knock on her door, "can I talk to you." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Come in," she called out. She could only imagine what Rufus could want. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Rufus opens up the door and comes in. "So I wanted to take care of some holiday shopping," Rufus says, "But I need a licensed driver to be in the car with me so that I can drive. I could take you shopping too." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Wait. You want me to go with you so you can /drive/?" Cait had been dreading this day for a very long time. Rufus driving. It was enough to give her nightmares for the foreseeable future. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Yeah," Rufus says a little enthusiastically, "I did really good in my driver's ed class I just need experience on my learner's permit." He didn't add what had happened in previous attempts. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I thought Mom and Dad were going to take you driving in January. What about Uncle Scott? Or Logan?" Logan had a healing factor and was better off than the rest of them. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"You're the only one around right now for it," Rufus lies, "Plus I wanted to spend some time with my big sister." There might even be some puppy dog eyes. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	_tsunami_ 2012-12-16 01:13 am UTC (link)
	"They all said no, didn't they?" she asked. Not the puppy dog eyes! (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	ablaze 2012-12-16 01:18 am UTC (link)
	"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)

	_tsunami_ 2012-12-16 01:50 am UTC (link)
	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)

	"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)
