Aziraphale took a timid seat in front of the wheel as he exhaled and gripped the wheel.

"Right, so what do you do first?" I asked as I slid all the way back into the seat staring at him.

"Well I- er, hands on the wheel. Of course." The angel flustered as he gripped the wheel, his knuckles visibly white.

"First you calm down, yeah?" I implied.

"Right, yes of course," said he as the angel closed his eyes and exhaled a deep breath.

"Ok, so both hands on the wheel, or one if your feeling brave."

"I'm not brave," Aziraphale reminded me.

"Well then two hands it is," I said with a sigh.

"Right, so now what?" He asked.

"Your going to put your foot gently onto the gas pedal. The break one is on the opposite side," I explained as I folded my arms.

Aziraphale gave me a small timid smile as he carefully set his feet into place onto the pedals. The Bentley was placed in an empty lot which was convenient for free driving.

"Make sure you shift the gear out of park and then press the gas pedal slowly down."

"Right. Shifty gear thing and erm, pedal. Very good," repeated Aziraphale as he fumbled his fingers towards the gear.

"Right, so out of park mode," I repeated as I watched him hesitantly follow onto the directions.

"And then the gas pedal," Mumbled Aziraphale with perplexed energy.

The Bentley began to roll slowly forward, "Very good," I applauded. "You can go faster."

"What's the speed limit?" Asked the angel.

"Oh for anyone's sake! That doesn't matter, just try and go faster," I urged.

The Bentley slowly sped up as we made our way across the lot.

"Now... first test," I warned. "Beezlebub and Gabriel are both standing in the way of the moving car, what do you do?" I asked.

"Run over Gabriel obviously, since-"

"NO you idiot! You press the breaks!" I exclaimed as I threw my arms up into the air.

"Oh," said Aziraphale with slight disappointment as the car slowed down to a halt.

"So that happened..." I muttered once the Bentley finally stood still. "How about you drive us out the lot?" I questioned as Aziraphale gave me a frightful look.

"Oh I don't think that's a rather good idea," he suggested.

"I think it's lovely, how about you drive us to town, any restaurant you'd like, you could even practice parallel parking. Chop chop."

Aziraphale began to shake his head, "We could get into a car accident... or, someone could-"

"Nothing will happen angel, you can trust me," I reassured.

"Alright then," he agreed as the car set back into motion, although slow it was still something.

We approached the main road.

"Now turn with the wheel, not too harshly."

Aziraphale gave a shaky breath in reply as he turned a left and we were off. The trees from the forest overcast the road and made a lush green canopy for us. I had made sure that no cars or people would pass us on the way.

"You can still go more than 7 miles per hour on this road," I announced.

Aziraphale sighed and the Bentley sped up to a whole 25 miles per hour. I had turned on Queen and only the best hits were playing. The angel was doing quite well but I noticed a sheer panic in him once we had approached town civilizations.

"Oh I'm not sure I can do this Crowley," complained Azirphale as he gripped the wheel once more.

"Yeeeeah you can, everything is straight forward," I assured. (Everything is straight except Aziraphale and Crowley *cough*)

The angel mumbled from under his breath as we successfully made our way into town near the food marts.

"Now you need to drive," I explained as I watched the Bentley slowly manuvour and twist into the side of the parking street.

Aziraphale took a wrong turn as my hand quickly lashed out to steer the car back into a straight line.

"Ah... thank you," flustered Aziraphale.

After two Queen songs and of cars honking and Aziraphale cursing from under his breath, was the Bentley finally parked. Aziraphale sat back and leaned his head to the headrest as he took a long breath out from him.

"Park gear angel, remember those?" I asked gesturing to the stick.

Aziraphale's hand shot out and parked the car finally.

We stepped out and headed to the small local restaurant as Aziraphale and I took a seat at a table.

"Why don't we just stick to you driving the car?" Asked Aziraphale as he took a long gulp from his glass.

"Sounds about right, your quite rubbish," I answered with a smirk. "Cheers. To your immaculate skill of driving."

"Cheers," Replied the angel through his own smile as our glasses clinked.
