That's why I prefer flying or Nimbus.

Sadly, those aren't really options for me. I'm confined to the bus system.

Which has currently broken down on the side of a highway.

You can't fly? I thought most everyone could do that!

Ew. That doesn't sound fun.

Not in the slightest.

No -- I can't fly. In fact -- I don't know anyone who can fly. Can you?

Huh! And here was me thinking that people only rode in those steel monsters to keep the traffic out of the sky.

I can!

That's -- kinda cool.

How do you fly, may I ask?

I just push my energy up and use it to propel myself.

Oh.

I don't think all of us are born with that capability.

Really? I mean, we all have energy...It's just a matter of controlling it.

*confused* Matter of controlling it?

Hmm. How would King Kai explain this...

Okay. All living things have energy, you see? But some beings are incapable of controlling it to the fullest extent, like plants. They use their energy to live and feed and all that good stuff.

But intelligent beings...Er. Well, beings capable of higher thought? They can master their energy and focus it for flying, or for meditation, or for fighting...

Oh! You're into that martial art stuff.

I didn't realize that you could fly though.

It's just takes the right sort of outlook. Think how bad it would be if there was no public transport.

Well, while yes, having no public transportation would suck because I wouldn't be able to travel as easily, it wouldn't suck as much as things do right now, because I wouldn't be stuck on the side of the highway with no way out because the bus broke down. *nods*

*stuffs his hands into the pockets of his jacket, smiling softly* Ever thought it might be an opportunity?

*tilted her head to the side slightly* Opportunity to do what? Hitchhike my way to Santa Barbra?

... You're really trying to kill my bad mood, aren't you?

*shrugs* If that's what floats your boat.

*chuckle* Yes, I am. It's not very proactive. Is being in a good mood so terrible?

Usually, yes. But right now I'm more interested in hearing what you have in mind.

*grin* Not terrible. But I like being pissed when I have a reason to be pissed.

*pause* You know why I like buses, Anna? It's provides a connection. It's a catalyst.

*soft smirk* That's your prerogative, sure.

Oh, yeah -- I like them for that reason too. But these guys are a cranky bunch of ...

... have we met?

*laughs* Sure, people have off days. Like you said, you like being pissed when you have reason to be. They're in the same boat you are.

*nod* I've met you.

*shrug* Yeah, well -- at least I tried.

*thinks* When and where?

*nod* And I couldn't ask more of you than that.

*waves a hand* Just around.

Around? Really?

*frowns, she's usually better at faces than that*

Yeah but, hey, don't worry about it. People usually tend to ignore me.
