But true to her word, they walked to the car park and there was Tetsu's car. She motioned him to get in and started the car. As she put it into first gear and went to drive off, the car stalled, causing it to stop in its tracks.
Ai's face went bright red and she quickly went to start the car once more.
"S—Sorry, I'm still a little new at driving." She stammered.
Fortunately for both of them, it didn't happen again, though a few times the sound of grinding gears could be heard when she shifted.
They got back to the house around 5 minutes later.
"You did well, I'm proud of you." Ken said, feeling his legs a little shaky as he finally touched solid ground. Thankfully, he had the excuse of his injury in case she asked why he was walking weird.
Ai blushed a little, "Thanks. I still need to practice, but dad says I'm getting a lot better."
