I didn't get many reviews for the first chapter of this story, but I liked this idea and I couldn't just leave it unfinished so here you go. Part 2 of Shut Up and Drive

I did this chapter completely in dialogue just to try something new. I hope it isn't too confusing.

Enjoy.

Shut Up and Drive - Part 2

"Ok! Let's Go"

"Seth, wait"

"What?"

"What do you have to do first?"

"Oh, yeah. Mirrors, check. Seatbelt, check. Seat arranged for maximum comfort, check. Radio tuned-"

"No. No radio"

"Oh come on, why not?"

"Because you're easily distracted"

"Nuh Uh. Remember when Mom took us shopping for your new stuff?

"So?"

"There were all types of comic books and cool stores I could have gone into. Plus that stand with the really good mango - berry slushies. You know, the ones with the chunks of real fruit in them. But I didn't get one bit distracted"

"You're right Seth, you can't be distracted"

"Thank, you. Now lets go."

"Uh Seth? We're not moving"

"I know, I'm pressing the gas but the stupid car won't budge"

"Maybe because you still have the car on 'Park'"

"Oops"

"You sure you only need a few lessons?"

"Yes, Dude, I'm sure."

"Ok. Shift the car into reverse and back out of the drive slowly -SETH! I SAID SLOWLY!"

"Ok, Ok. Just pushed the gas a little too hard. Not a big deal"

"Oh, God"

"See, we're good. Drama Queen"

"It's dark. Turn on the headlights"

"Right. So how do I do that?"

"Flick that, there"

"That?"

"Yeah … No, those would be the windshield wipers, Seth"

"Oh, Right. Good to know. In case it rains or something"

"Seth? The lights?"

" Hold on … and that's the cleaner fluid. Huh, lets see..."

"Just let me do it!"

"Ok. Lights- on, check. Ready to roll"

"Break, Seth, Break!"

" Oh. Oops. I forgot to put the car in 'Drive' … Don't look at me like that. We weren't anywhere near that other car"

"You know, I think Sandy's right. He should go driving with you-"

"No, No. Don't get out of the car, Ryan please. I was just a little tired. I wasn't thinking clearly. I swear, I'm wide awake now and will be, like, the safest driver ever… ...Thank you."

" I really hate you right now"

" I know. Love you too, bro."

"Put the car in 'Drive"

"Seth, pull over."

"Why? I'm not going too fast and I-"

"Pull over. Now!"

"Alright, alright. Geez … There, you happy?"

"Are you driving with both feet?"

"Yeah. One foot for the break and one for the gas"

" Are you crazy? I thought you said you knew how to drive!"

"I do"

"Then you'd know you're only supposed to drive with one foot. Are you trying to get us killed?"

"It's more comfortable this way. Using only one foot is weird"

"Seth. One foot."

"But - OW! Ok one foot, one foot. Can we go now?"

"Whatever"

"Ugh! Stupid, piece of shit, car. Move damn you."

"Seth. The car. It's still in 'Park'"

"Oh, yeah. Right"

"SETH"

"WHAT"

"You're doing it again"

"What?"

"Driving with both feet!"

"I can't help it!"

"Fine"

"Ryan? What are you doing? Get back in the car Ryan. You're not making me quit are you?"

"Give me your foot"

"Look, Ryan, depsite what you may think, I really don't respond well to corporal punishment-"

"Give me. Your foot"

"Ow, Ow, - Wait, What are you doing?"

"Tying your shoelaces to the driver's seat"

"But then I won't be able to move my foot"

"Exactly. You drive with one foot. That's all you need"

"This is sooo uncomfortable. "

"Shut up and drive, Seth "

"Can we at least turn on the Radio?... Please Ry? The Radio? Huh? Please?"

"No"

"But I can't concentrate without music and the radio-"

"If I hear, the word Radio, come out of your mouth one more time, I'm locking you in the trunk"

" Fine. No music playing devices. So, what now?"

"Take a right here

"Here? You want me to take a right? Here?"

"Yes, hurry up before… you missed the turn"

"Oh, well. Guess we have to keep going straight"

"Seth, you know how make right turns, right?"

"Yes, Ryan. Of course I know how to make right turns. I am the master of the right turn"

"Ok, then. Take the next right"

"The next right? The next right, right there?

"Seth. Turn. - Too wide! Too wide! You're in the wrong lane!"

"Oh Shit! There's another car coming. What do I do?! What do I do?!"

"Get back on the right side, Seth!"

"Shit, Shit. Ok. We're still alive. We're on the sidewalk, but we're still alive - Yeah, I know Lady. New driver here, cut me a little slack! - Ryan, you ok, man?"

"Oh. My. God."

"Calm down. Just breathe"

"You said you knew how to make right turns! You said you were the master!"

"About that. It might have been left turns that I'm good at - Ow! Hey!"

"You said there wouldn't be anybody out at this time of day"

"I didn't think there would be"

"Get out of the car, Seth"

"What? Why?"

" Get out of the damn car!"

" I can't! My foot is attached to the car! Ryan you're not taking us home are you? Ryan? Please don't take me home. Please? "

"The streets aren't safe with you on them Seth"

"Ok, but, how am I supposed to learn if I can't practice? If I don't pratice then I won't get my license. And if I don't get my license then I'll be the only kid my age without one. You don't want me to be the only 16 year old in California who can't drive, do you Ryan?"

" Fine, but get out. We're taking a new approach."

"A parking lot?"

"An empty parking lot"

"Dude, I'm not driving around a parking lot for an hour"

" Actually, you actually only have about 20 minutes and I'm not taking you anywhere else. It's the parking lot or nothing"

"Fine. Let me get in the Driver's Seat"

.......

"Put the car into 'Drive', Seth"

" Yeah. Right. I knew that"

"… Wow. This is fun. Driving around in circles. If only Summer could see me now"

" You're going too fast"

"A second ago you were saying I was going too slow"

"Well there's a difference between 50 mph and 5 mph"

"What does it matter? We're in an empty parking lot"

"Because you're supposed to be acting like you're really on the road"

" If we're going to pretend to be on the road why can't we just, oh I don't know, get on the road"

"We can go home if you want"

"No, No. I'm good. I embrace the circle. It's just… When are we gonna cover the 2 pt turns?"

"Seth. Stop the car. Now"

"Fine, No 2 point turns. What's the matter?"

"Seth, How many feet are you driving with right now?"

"Ummm…"

" I need a break"

"Um Ok… Hey Ryan, wait up

"... Dude… you're really… mean, making me… run like that. I'm sorry, alright. The parking lot... is not that bad"

"The parking lot is not the problem, Seth"

"I know I'm being a pain in the ass"

"Really"

"Ok, A major pain in the ass, but just think. Once I get my license we'll have the whole US of A at our fingertips.

"I'm not a teacher, Seth"

" I know, but your older brother taught you. I've never had an older brother to teach me this stuff until now."

"Seth, you're older than me"

"I am? Sweet! … Still, you can't give up on me now. Just think of the possibilities We can take that pancake tour of America! …. See you're rolling your eyes now, but you'll be smiling once we're on the road. Or at least frowning less"

"It's time to head back"

"Ok. But we can do this again though, right bro?"

"…. Maybe"

"Seth? Please tell me those aren't the keys in the car."

"Uh…"

"And please tell me that the doors aren't locked"

"Can we call AAA?"

"Do you have a AAA card?

"Uh, I don't think so"

"Do you have their number?"

"Nope."

"Did you bring any money?… Don't you ever ask me to take you driving again."

"What are we going to do?"

"Call your parents"

"No, man. Sorry. I can't do that"

"Fine. We'll just sit here and wait for the car to magically unlock itself"

"Wait. This is your forte. Couldn't you just-"

"I got arrested trying to steal a car, Seth. Obviously, I haven't mastered that skill"

" I can't Ryan"

"Yes, you can"

"There's no way you could -"

"Seth!"

"Ok. It was worth a shot."

"So, let me get this straight. You and Ryan took the car out at 4:30 this morning. Without our permission. So you could drive. When you don't have a license and Ryan is on probation. And to top it off you locked the keys in the car"

"Yeah, Mom that's about it"

"... Sandy? Telephone."

" Mhmmm? Hello?"

"Hey, Dad. Sorry to wake you. I just was wondering if you wouldn't mind picking me and Ryan up and possibly bringing the second set of keys to the Rover?"

"Oh, ok son. Wait, What?"

"I'm too mad to deal with either one of you right now. Do you have any idea just how much trouble you could have gotten yourselves into? How much trouble you're in?"

"Dad, I know. I'm sorry. It was my idea. And I dragged Ryan into it. But I just wanted to get my license quicker."

"Oh, you're getting your license. Whether you'll be allowed to use it, ever, has as yet to be determined"

"Does this mean I'm not getting the car?"

" -I'm going surfing. I'll deal with you this afternoon. And if were you, I'd try and avoid your mother until then. She was murmuring to herself about Military Schools"

"Yeah, That's about as pissed as I thought he'd be"

"Shit. I'm so gone. I'm packed and on my way to Juvie right now."

"No you're not. Dad's not getting rid of you that quickly and Mom's at least going to keep you around for the bacon…. Dude relax, I'm kidding. Now I'm not saying we're not in trouble, just don't go searching for any model homes before we talk to the parents, ok. Nobody's going to kick you out … Dude breathe!"

" I am never listening to you again"

"Oh no, my friend. I'm pretty sure this is just the beginning of a long list of crazy predicaments we're going get ourselves into… I can see it now. And once I can drive… "

"I'm going to bed"

"Ryan, Ryan! Wait up bro! I got this great idea on where to take our first roadtrip"

The End

I really didn't know how to end this story so you might see a different ending further down the line. Ah, well. ope you liked it.

Oh and that whole 'two feet for driving thing' came from my own expreriences learning to drive. And yes, my dad did tie my shoe laces to the driver's seat.
