Thor's POV

"Okay, Mr. Odinson," said the large Midgardian man who was sitting in the passenger's side. "You're going to pull out and make a left at the first stop light."

I tried to remember what Kathryn had told me about stop lights. I think I was supposed to go when the light turned red. Smiling, I floored the pedal. Unfortunately, the car did not move. I grunted. "Stupid Midgardian charriots," I hissed.

"Sorry?" asked the driving instructor. "By the way, you have to put the car in gear." I gave him a blank look. "Use the Wand of Power," he said.

"Oooohhhhh," I replied, pulling down on it. Then, I floored the accelerator again. This time, the car lurched backward, slamming into the car behind me.

"That was my car..." the man said.

"I am sorry, my lord," I replied. "I will reimburse you for your losses. I made ten dollars the other day!" Surely ten dollars was enough to buy the man a new car.

"Is that some kind of joke?" the man asked.

"No, my lord. On the contrary, I plan to buy you the finest car I can find for ten dollars."

"Just get on with the driving," he replied. I smiled and put the car in drive, gently edging the car into gear. We made it okay until the first stoplight. The light was green, so I stopped.

"Go, you great, bearded idiot!" the man cried. Car horns blared as I sat in the middle of the road. "You're supposed to go on green!" he shouted. His face was a funny, purple color.

"Sorry my lord," I replied.

"Stop calling me that!" he yelled.

I floored the accelerator, and the car lurched forward at eighty miles an hour.

The man rolled down the window and threw up as I pulled up to the next light. "Are... You... Mad," he whispered. "Take us back to base."

I smiled at the man and turned around. I think that went well for my first day.
