[It was low enough that she only needed to step (slightly awkwardly) up and into the car of her choice. A yellow model, with extra floating padding all around the seat. It would sacrifice speed in exchange for additional guarantee of safety in the event of multiple collisions.]
[Basically, it was as kid-friendly as the ride could get.]
[Although Hikari takes a moment to adjust to her controls. It was just as she said it would be. Push the little peddle at the bottom of her right foot to go. Except there was a second peddle...which she soon realized allowed her to stop short. And then the wheel in front of her was fairly sensitive, to the point where, if she cut it hard enough, she could actually get her bumper car to spin around in a circle!]
[She relaxed and started working her own controls a little more productively. The car jerked forward, gradually accelerating more and more with the occasional turn. Weaving her way in and out of the increasing number of other drivers in the area.]
[The first time she crashed, she let out a small yelp. Then laughed. As did the other person, who backed away and headed off in search of another victim. The second time...she was the one who bounced into another car, startling the person but scoring a point for herself.]
[Rock Lee quickly veered around a few times and started bumping a few people, quickly being delighted by this game. He looked towards her in concern during her first crash, but was relieved to see that she was okay. And then the second time, he gives her a thumbs up.]
[Sure enough, she was able to figure out how to turn the wheel sharply in order to avoid another oncoming car. It veered straight past her before crashing into the nearby (padded) wall.]
You are! You are truly learning, youth! [He smiles as he drives onwards and chooses his own target, mercilessly bumping the stranger.] Dynamic Bumping!
[So thrown by the strange phrasing, Hikari missed her chance to avoid the next oncoming car, which bumped right into her. Only a slight jostling, of course, and it did serve to bring her back to her task at hand.]
[There were another car not too far from hers. She aimed for it.]
Faster?! Ah... Leave it to me, Hikari-san! [He has already scored what he wanted to, after all...
So, he quickly manages to undo his safety apparatus and flips out of his bumper car. He comes up behind Hikari and starts pushing, to boost the cart's speed with his own.] Please direct me!!
[Once the initial surprise wore off, Hikari reached for her wheel once more, steering towards the next target, which they glanced a blow off just in time to head straight for the next. And the next.]
Lee keeps on moving quickly while adjusting his trajectory with Hikari's steering of the wheel. And he keeps on doing his best in hitting them all, occasionally letting out a cheerful laugh.]
[They continued like that until the buzzer rang, and all the cars stopped right in their tracks, suddenly weighted down by some sort of unseen, possibly magnetic force.]
That was great!
[Her hair was sticking out in a way that it hadn't since the time Takeru put it in those wild ponytails...her bangs were covering her eyes...but she looked absolutely thrilled.]
[She followed after him, cheeks still slightly flushed from the excitement of the ride. Ready and patient to find out whatever adventure awaited them next,]

Ready!

I am also prepared...! [He sits anxiously, waiting for the bumper cars to kick to life...!]

Good job!
[And Lee doesn't do anything by halves, so he puts his foot towards the peddle and speeds right into the opposite wall.]
Yoooouuuth!!
no subject
Oh!
Lee-san! Are you...alright?
no subject
I am well! Do not worry. That was an incredible rush! [He said as he tried backing his cart out.]

I think I'm starting to get the hang of this.

Hikari-san, are you alright?! [He then zooms over to avenge her, bumping right into the car that had bumped into hers.]
no subject
I'm fine!
I think I need to go faster, though. Out time is almost up, and I haven't gotten all the cars yet!

We did it!!
[He doesn't mind that his own empty cart was mercilessly pummeled in the process.]
no subject
Are you alright, Lee-san? That must have been hard, pushing me around like that.
no subject
Actually, Hikari-san, it was not too difficult for me! And it was an interesting exercise. I enjoyed it!
no subject
[She stepped down, carefully using her arms to support herself as she hopped the last of the distance to the ground.]
We should probably leave so that the next group of people can come on the ride.
no subject
Yosh! Let us move out, Hikari-san! [And he heads on over to the ride's exit!]
