Robin followed behind silently pleading that whatever came of this, it didn't affect her already expensive drivers insurance.
She took the lead once they hit the parking lot,"Now, for the most part I was kidding when I called my Car a dangerous force or whatever..." She pulled out her keys and smirked," but keep in mind that this is a two ton, metal cage on wheels that runs on highly flammable fuel"
She opened the car door for her and gestured for her to get in,"essentially, don't fuck up"

Mal arched a brow... but proceeded to get into the car, eager to learn. The leather stretched and squeaked as the Dark Fairy sat in the driver's seat.
It wasn't a very attractive-looking car... and it had a very peculiar smell to it that wasn't favorable, but none of that deterred Mal from her eagerness. She stroked the wheel as if her affections would charm the metal beast.
"So what is first?" She asked her teacher.

"okay...." Jez slid into the passengers seat, hey if this worked and didn't total her car she could look into teaching Drivers Ed at the Community Education Center! Still not as reassuring as she might've needed...
"Alright, so the wheel is to steer, pretty obvious- you wanna go left, turn it to the left and if you wanna turn it right go to the right" Jez pointed to the pedals on the floor," The big one is the break, always keep your foot on the break, and press down when you actually want to stop. The skinnier one is the gas, it'll move you forward"
Hopefully this was making sense, she guessed Mal didn't know too much about car so she tried edging on the side of too much information rather than too little," The gages tell you how fast your going, or if you need gas," She pointed to them in order," Try and match the speed the signs along the road give you the yellow ones that have a number on them... I'll point them out later"
Oh gods, she sounded like those stupid driving instruction videos..."When you're ready put the keys in the ignition and turn with your foot on the break, we'll put it in drive and... god, drive around the parking lot I guess.... any questions?"

"None!" Mal greedily grabbed the keys and put them in the car. The car puttered to life. Mal gave a "Oh!" of startlement, but it melted into a sexy purr as she enjoyed the vibrations of the car.

Robin grit her teeth, oh god.... bad feelings... everywhere, "Alright, put the car in drive and SLOWLY put your foot on the gas..."

Mal slammed on the accelerate pedal and slammed on the brakes. The car came to a jarring stop. The Dark Fairy tried to find a happy medium between the two... but the pedals were so SENSITIVE. The car started and stopped, started and stopped, with the loud squeak of tires in between.
"DAMNATION!" The Dark Fairy cursed....

"Mal....." Robin tried,"....just a little pressure...." She gripped the car door, and closed her eyes. She didn't really get car sick, ever, but she was sure if this continued much longer she would hurl up her lunch on the both of them, a crime punishable by death on Malificent's terms she guessed.
"Like you're going to slowly crush an egg under your foot-" Mal tried it again and Robin slumped in her seat and moaned miserably.

"I... I think I'm getting the hang of it..." though it didn't appear like she did. She just needed a longer stretch of road to gauge things. She turned out of the parking lot, and onto the road to take them into downtown Storybrooke. Robin protested, but once they were out of the parking lot, Mal was a lot more smother on the road.
Mal followed the speed signs, making sure that it matched the speedometer as Robin had instructed... but by the time Mal saw the third 25 mile per hour sign in a row, she rolled her eyes. "Well this is just RIDICULOUSLY SLOW." She pressed on the accelerator.

"No! Dammit, Mal there are speed limits for a reason!" Robin gripped the seat,"You HAVE to slow down-"
Mal narrowly missed a couple crossing the road,"Stop sign.... that was a stop sign... you stop at those"

"My bad." Mal said flatly. She saw a cross roads up ahead, with a strange little device alternating lights. From green to yellow. "What is that???" The dark fairy accelerated, for everyone else seemed to do that to get under the yellow light.

"No, slow down! Those mean-" They slowed only once they were in the center of the intersection and the light had turned red,"Sh- speed up! speed up!"
Robin was pressing an invisible gas pedal with her foot now. Jesus, she couldn't remember ever being so high strung! If there was anything the fairy was good at it was making people nervous...
Robin took a breath as they made through the intersection in one piece..."Alright.... well, we aren't dead so... so good job" she leaned back against the seat and tried to calm her overly aggravated nerves

"Well PERHAPS you could have told me in ADVANCE what those little lights MEANT." Mal Spat.

"Yeah, if you hadn't been going one hundred and three miles an hour I might have had the chance" She sighed," BUT nothing we can do about it now, so; When you see a light turn yellow- well, to be on the safe side ANYTHING yellow usually means slow the fuck down"
No, Robin usually didn't have a mouth like this, but the more upset or stressed or close to death she got the more she tended to loose it.
