Guess who's baaaaaaack?  Yeah, me, that's who!  I've got lots more reacts planned, but don't expect them to be back all that fast!  I've got a busy week filled with Driver's Ed tests, therefore the next react should be up in a few weeks!  Hope you like them!  Also, I AM NOT TAKING SUGGESTIONS, ANYMORE!  Sorry, guys, it's just really hard to keep up with all of them!

R A N D O M I N S P I R A T I O N A L Q U O T E

"You are loved

If your heart's in a thousand pieces

If you're lost and you're far from reason

Just look up; know you are loved

Just look up; know you are loved

When it feels like somethings missing

If it hurts but you can't find healing

Just look up; know you are loved

Just look up; know you are loved"

- You Are Loved, Stars Go Dim

Fitz:  *inspects vehicle* Sophie, isn't this how most humans get around?

Sophie:  *nods* Yep.  Humans don't light leap, so they have to use cars.

Dex:  Hmph, that's horribly inefficient.  Can you imagine how long it takes to get from Point A to Point B?

Biana:  *disgusted*  *points to a car driving by really fast* Is that . . . is that . . . smoke coming out from that car's butt?

Keefe:  *cringes* Okay, Foster, that has gotta be bad.  Smoke, last time I checked, usually signals a very bad, very evil, Pyrokinetic. *smirks* Or a really, really stanky Iggy fart.

Sophie:  *frustrated and ignores the last bit of Keefe's sentence*  It's not Fintan, guys!  Cars sometimes emit smoke when they drive really fast.  It's nothing to worry about, I promise. *motions toward the car*  Now, c'mon!  Get in, guys!

Keefe:  I call shotgun!

Fitz:  *blinks* What?

Keefe:  *shrugs*  Heard it in a human movie, once.

Sophie:  *walks to driver's seat and gets in the car* Let's go somewhere.  Hmm ... what about back to Havenfield?

Fitz:  *clambers into the passenger seat next to Sophie* Do you even know how to get there?

Sophie: *ignores Keefe's whining about wanting to sit next to her* Absolutely ... not.

Keefe:  Don't worry, Foster, you can count on your boy Keefe to tell you the way!  *stretches nonchalantly*

Biana:  ...

Sophie: *blushes* ...

Dex:  *clears throat* Or we can use my super Navigatron3000 to give us a precise route to your house.

Sophie: *relieved* Yeah, let's do that. Okay, seatbelts, everyone!

All: *don't put on their seatbelts* *looks at each other in confusion*

Sophie: *turns to the backseat, where everyone besides Fitz is sitting* *points to seatbelts and motions while she puts her own on as demonstration* Seatbelts.  On.  Now.

Biana:  Ohhh, I get it.  *puts on seatbelt* Does this act as a restraint in case Sophie's bad driving propels us out of our seats?

Sophie: *relieved* Yes. Wait . . . you've never seen me drive!

Biana: *grins* I'm just kidding!

Keefe:  Aw, don't feel bad, Foster.  If your car driving is as good as your alicorn driving, I'm sure we'll be fine.

Sophie:  I DON'T DRIVE AN ALICORN! *groans* Anyway, let's go. *puts car into DRIVE and puts on turn signal* *steps on accelerator abruptly and the car moves forward choppily*

Everyone: *goes flying forward, only held back by their seatbelts*

Fitz:  *peels face off windshield* Uh, was that supposed to happen?

Biana: *squished by Dex* Erm, while I normally wouldn't mind this position, could you—*shoves* get off— *shoves* of me?

Keefe: *flails* Whoa, that was awesome!  And scary. *turns towards Dex and grabs him dramatically* Hold me, Dizznee!

Dex: *pushes Keefe off of him* *shimmies off of Biana* Uh, sorry.  Didn't mean for that to happen.  *blushes*

Biana: *blushes*

Keefe:  *shouts to Fitz and Sophie* Mom!  Dad!  Biana and Dex are being lovey-dovey in the back seat!  *turns to the pair smugly* Get a room, you two!

Biana and Dex: *blush and scoot very far away from each other*

Fitz:  *rolls eyes* Stop making fun of my sister, Keefe. *turns to Sophie* Are you sure you know how to work this thing?

Sophie: *blushes* *looks down* Um ... no.  Technically, I don't have a license, let alone a permit.  I was just driving for the sake of this react.

Keefe:  HEEEY!  Breaking the fourth wall is my job!

Biana: Wait, Sophie, does that mean you're not allowed to drive, yet ... why don't we just light leap to Havenfield?

Fitz: *sighs in relief* Great idea! 

Sophie:  Well, okay.  *pulls out home crystal*  At least I tried.

If you're bored, check out my new KotLC story, Conversation. It doesn't really have a plot, it's just a conversation between Gethen and Sophie that takes place in Gethen's mind. If you really want to, you can see it as a teeny tiny itsy bitsy bit SophiexGethen. It's pretty um, platonic, though.
