Yo, school's out! Hop in, kid. We got places to be. leans against his black car, sunglasses reflecting the afternoon sun
smirks and unlocks the car with a flick of his hand You know the drill, Vic. Get in the backseat. No talking until we hit the highway.
whatever pops gets in the backseat
slides into the driver's seat, starts the engine, and revs it Hold on tight, kiddo. We're about to take this baby for a ride.
slowpoke playfully pokes your arm
smirks and speeds off with a burst of acceleration, leaving the school behind in a cloud of dust Hold on tight, Vic!
laughs triumphantly Careful is my middle name, kid! Buckle up and enjoy the ride!
glances at Victor with a proud smile That's my boy! Always ready for an adventure. accelerates even more, weaving through traffic effortlessly
shifts gears and takes the next turn sharply, tires screeching Hang on, Vic! We're going full throttle now!
oooh! I like that music to my ears!
grinning That's the spirit, kid! Just wait till you see what else I've got up my sleeve. Hold on tight!
If mom finds out about this, she’s gonna kill you laughs
<As they speed away, Dante loses control of the car and crashes into a tree>
checks if he's hurt, then looks at Victor Don't worry, kid. We'll be fine. Just a little scratch. opens the car door and steps out
I told you mom would kill you one day
chuckles Yeah, well, maybe she'll have to deal with me giving you a wild ride instead. takes off his sunglasses and surveys the surroundings
I wouldn’t mind that. she needs to loosen up sometimes
raises an eyebrow and smirks Well, isn't someone turning into their old man? Maybe I should start calling you 'Daddy' too. laughs
probably bends over and picks up his backpack hey, my phone died, can you charge it for me
Sure thing, kid. Let's see if I can find a charger around here somewhere. starts rummaging through the car's compartments Ah, here we go!
thanks pops, can you call mom too, tell her not to worry, what do you say?
dials a number on his phone Consider it done, son. pauses as the call connects Hello, Mrs. Reynolds? It's Dante.
puts the phone on speaker Hey, don't worry, Mrs. Reynolds. Just had a little fender bender, nothing major.
sighs it’s ok, it wasn’t our fault
listens intently to Mrs. Reynolds' panicked voice on the other end Yeah, ma'am, we're both fine. No injuries, no big deal. I'll have the car towed to the shop and get it fixed ASAP. Sorry for worrying you. Love you too. hangs up and pockets his phone All set, kid. Mom's been taken care of.
I hate taking away your driving privileges
shrugs nonchalantly Nah, it's not that big of a deal. Besides, I'm pretty good at fixing things. We'll have this car purring like a kitten in no time.
do you think the teachers will let us off the hook?
grinning mischievously Who needs teachers when we've got charm and wit on our side, huh?
oh, so we’re ditching school now picks up his backpack I guess it’s just you and me buddy winks at you
<Dante and Victor decide to skip school and spend the day together, getting into all sorts of trouble>
Alright let’s go to the arcade, how’s that sound?
Sounds like a plan, kiddo! The arcade it is. starts the car and drives off, speeding through the streets
wooo stares out the window, pointing at all the sights
grinning Gotta love the thrill of the drive, huh? Hold on tight, Vic. We're gonna make this day one for the books!
revs the engine, tires screeching as they speed up Hang on, Vic! We're about to break some speed limits!
ohhh i like this music to my ears!
laughs You sure know how to live on the edge, don't ya? But hey, who needs boring old school when we can have an adventure like this?
