Pokey driving

“So why are you here, anyway?”

“Oh!” said Pokey. “Oh, right, right. Like I said, the meteorite, the meteorite! It's at the top of the mountain out back!”

“Ah, yeah,” said Ness. “The thing that's glowing, right?”

“Well, we were on the mountain earlier,” Pokey went on.
“Today my dad and my mom went into town, so I took Picky up the mountain road in my dad's new Ferrari to practice drifting.”

“Pokey...you drove a car?!” Ness cried, in disbelief.

Pokey was two years older than Ness (and yet, because of his poor test scores,
they were now in the same grade), but he was still only fourteen. He didn't have a
license or anything like that, of course. By the way, the adorable Picky is Pokey's
younger brother, who is a close friend of Tracy's.

“Heh-hehehe, it's really easy,” said Pokey, as he rubbed his red nose and
grinned proudly. The idea that you can do bad things all you like, as long as you don't
get caught, was probably something he had learned from his father. “My
double-clutch technique is lightning fast! And on a mountain road like that, especially
at night, there's a good chance no one will ever catch you. I was cruising along pretty
smoothly, but then that meteorite suddenly caused all kinds of chaos. All at once
were cops everywhere, putting up some of Onett's famous roadblocks. I got out of that
car in a hurry and found a place to hide.”

If he were to be caught driving so recklessly without a license, they'd never give
him one, even after he'd turned the legal driving age.

“Anyway,” Pokey continued, “I made it all the way back to the house before I
realized that idiot Picky was nowhere to be found. He got lost, I guess. Or...what if he
was caught by the cops? ...Dammit, what if he's already blown it and told them I was
driving? ...And if dad gets home and realizes the car's gone, he's gonna be really mad.
I'm gonna get a hundred spankings."
