Calvin could see a little irritation on Pam’s face when she responded to him. He guessed that she was afraid of catching something? Whatever. The boy just shrugged and walked over to Pam, thanking her and taking the step she had offered him. He thought that she would literally lift him up, but again, whatever.

The kid then opened up the lid on top of the engine to reveal what was inside. It didn’t look bad, but Calvin knew that this would need a little work to get it up and running. He then got to work on cleaning up the engine, fixing minor flaws and so on.

He then stopped, asking Pam “stay right there for a second, okay?” She nodded and Calvin went to another nearby car to pull out a part that he needed. It wasn’t an exact fit, but with enough duct tape it would work. The boy then went back to the bus, using Pam as a lift once more and then installed the part on the bus.

With that, he stopped using his female footstep for now and went back to the driver’s seat, trying to run the vehicle again. This time, it started normally.

Calvin then proceeded to honk the horn on the vehicle and yelled “the bus is working!”
