Xander drove in front of the laboratory in his red Honda Civic when it abruptly stopped. He sat in confusion as his engine slowed to silence and his Civic rolled to a halt. Then it began to slightly shake as he observed the laboratory drop downwards. All of the cars parked around him dropped, as well as the ground. Xander's eyes widened as he grasped the fact that his car was flying.
He could hear Will from below shouting "Hey Xander, how's the view up there?" Xander couldn't move a muscle. His face turned slightly pale as he sat frozen in shock.
Will watched as Xander's Civic slowly came back to the ground. He went over and opened the door for Xander, who was staring straight forward with his arms straight by his sides.
Inside the laboratory, Will showed Xander the things Vinci had crafted.
"Here's the original duct tape box I made the other day, and here's Vinci's machine he made using my box, and he made this better one using his own machine, and here's the one he made using that one!"
Xander, now more conscious than before, looked in amazement at all of the sci-fi style devices around the laboratory.
"Here's the levitation machine I used to prank you this morning," Will chuckled.
"This is great and all, but what if Vinci goes ballistic and explodes the world?"
"I'll assure you I won't do anything like that." Xander was slightly startled at how smooth Vinci's voice sounded.
