(It's very late a night. A car screams down the moonlight streets of Fuyuki, with a very happy-go-lucky master behind the wheel and a slightly unnerved Saber sitting next to you)

Y/n: See, see? I told you so! This car takes the turns really fast!

Artoria: Well, that's because you're a surprisingly good driver.

(The car goes over a bump, causing the two to be jumped up from the seats temporarily. Saber smiles while she laughs nervously. You couldn't help but notice it. You calm down on the driving)

Y/n: You may not believe it, but I practice all the time. Of all the toys mom has brought over the years, this is my absolute favorite!

Artoria: This is a toy?

Y/n: Back home in the countryside, I was only allowed to drive around the flat areas, so driving on actual roads is great! Obviously, I still gotta follow the rules. But driving freely every once in a while is always fun.

(You speed up and drift around the turns)

Artoria: Shouldn't we have maybe hired a professional driver?

Y/n: No, that would be boring. I mean, it's very dangerous. What if an enemy were to suddenly launch an attack against us?

Artoria: Well, I suppose you have a point but-

(Saber notices someone)

Stop the car!

(The car stops with a slam on the brake as the tires screech)

Master, get out of the car and stay very close to me. This presence...

It's a servant!

It's a servant!

Y/n: I never seen that one before. It must be Caster.

Artoria: That's what I'm thinking.

(You and Saber step out of the car and stand in front of the car with you behind Saber. Caster bows)

Caster: I have come for you, my sweet and holy virgin!

Y/n: *disgusted* Ew... Saber, do you know this man?

Artoria: I never laid eyes on him.

Caster: Oh no! Are you saying that you've forgotten my face?

Artoria: Forgotten you? I've never met you in my life. You mistake for another.

Caster: Agh! It's me! It's Gille de Rais, my darling! I have prayed for your resurrection and have been waiting for a miracle to reunite us! To that end, I've come all this way, to the end of time, my Jeanne!
