"Okay, where to?" asked Daniel's mother.
They agreed on Golf 'n' Stuff and Daniel's mother turned the key in the ignition. Nothing happened. She tried again. Nothing.

"Sure," Ali replied, matter-of-factly.
"Great," she said, moving out of the car to let Ali take the wheel. Daniel got out with her. "We'll push. You let it roll," she told Ali. "And when I say now, pop it. Okay?"

He glanced over at the house and with a sinking feeling realized that the curtains on the ground floor were pulled back. Ali's perfect mother and father were watching them start their less than perfect car. He knew it was silly but he wanted to become invisible. Right then and there.
