"I don't know if the world is ready for something like this." Evan got on one knee and sized up the tire. His knee crunched on the salted road beneath him.
"The world will never be ready for anything we have to throw at them." Kurt strapped on his bike helmet and climbed inside the tire. "Including the next form of transportation."
Anna pulled him into position at the top of the hill. "Remember what you need to do if you need to bail?"
"I just bamf out?"
"That's right, and where do you bamf to?"
"That mattress the dirty mattress we found?"
"That's right. Remember, if you feel like you need to get out, think mattress thoughts, Kurt."
"What are mattress thoughts exactly?"
"Thoughts you better be thinking if anything goes wrong." Anna positioned her younger brother just so and sighted down the tire. "Ready?"
"Ready!"
"Three," All said in unison, "Two, One." Then Anna gave the tire a good shove down the hill. They could hear Kurt's shouts, rebounding off the nearby trees.
"You got this Kurt!" Anna called after him, "Remember to stear with your hands!"
"Can he even do that?" Evan whispered.
"Hell if I know, but maybe it'll inspire him. Or at least make him feel better."
At the bottom of the hill the tire launched into the air before smaking into the base of tree hard enough to shake off the snow.
"Ooo," Anna and Evan raced down the hill after him, both slipping along the way.
"Kurt!" Evan dug in the snow.
"Oh god," Anna got on her knees and joined him. "Don't tell me we killed him."
"Killed who?" Both snapped their heads back and found the blue devil himself looking down at them.
"Hey!" Evan brought him in for a hug.
"Easy! Still a little nauseous after going through the spin cycle."
Anna pulled the tire out of its snowy grave. "When did you bail?"
"Right before my demise at the tree. And let me tell you, mattress thoughts didn't stop me from ending up in the neighbor's yard."
"Which neighbor? The one with the cows or the one with the field of dead grass?"
"The one with the exotic animals..."
Anna and Evan looked at each other. "No way!" Evan started, "You got into the Emu barn?"
"They aren't so funny when you're that close... I think I'd prefer a second round with Juggernaut."
"Well," Anna bounced the tire a couple of times like an oversized basketball. "We still got our ultimate transportation device. Want to give it another round, Kurt?"
"I think I'm good for today, thanks..."
Evan kicked the base of the tire, "Why don't you give it a try, super girl?"
"Oh no, I did my part. I pulled it off that old tractor we found. That was my contribution to today's science."
Evan crossed his arms. "And I found the hill."
"It's the hill outside the mansion. It's not like you stared at a map to find it, Evan."
Kurt leaned on his boyfriend, "It looked so much cooler in Jurassic World last night."
