Work Text:
Fai “If I die, I die” Fluorite
Decides to test if his machine works by driving it straight over the edge.
Falls far enough to see weeds on the ground before correcting a slight mechanical problem and spends the rest of the morning doing daredevil maneuvers and testing the limits of his gas tank.
There is nothing more fun than flying in the sky!
Mokona “Just along for the ride” Modoki
Her arms are too short to reach the controls, but she has fun flying with Fai anyway.
Kurogane “Preparation is key” Suwa
Built his machine from scratch and painstakingly calibrated every aspect of input and output.
Observes Fai for most of the day so he doesn’t make any mistakes.
Drives out with utter confidence without a hitch as the sun dips low in the sky.
Quickly learns what rush hour is and has road rage for the hour it takes to get back home.
Syaoran “Not my father” Li
Spent the day fine tuning his machine with Kurogane.
Anxiety makes him wait until the middle of the night when no one is on the roads.
Spends the night cruising around enjoying the stars.
Sakura “Fai did it so it must be okay” of Clow
Takes off like a bat out of hell the minute Syaoran gets back.
Either doesn’t know or doesn’t care that speed is determined by pedal pressure.
Miraculously does not hit anyone or anything before attempting a fast landing and crashing.
The ride was caught by a speed camera that sent her a speeding ticket automatically. Fai took one look at it (read as: had Syaoran read it to him) and threw it away.
(“There! Now it’s like it never existed at all.”
“That’s not how these things work!!”)
By the time the bench warrant is issued, they are long gone.
