A Flying Visit
“You said that while we were in Cairo, we were going to visit that restaurant called ‘The Manhole Cover’. That,” Tony pointed out of the hovercar at the Great Pyramid below them, “is not the restaurant. What did you do?!?”
Ivan looked in every direction except down. “Ah... I may have taken a wrong turning?”
“And you didn’t notice?”
“There was a three dimensional traffic jam! I was trying to go around it!”
“Well, you certainly managed that.” Tony reached for the keys. “Now we’re officially lost in the middle of the desert without another car in sight. How do we get out of here?”
“It isn’t that far,” Ivan replied over-meekly. “See, there’s a twin star hotel just across the road. If we turn left there, it should be straight on from there.”
Tony spun the hovercar. Sure enough, opposite the famous pyramids glittered the modern city, just waiting for them to re-enter it. “Fine, fine, we’ll call this a quick sightseeing visit then. Just - try not to do this again, love. You had me worried.”
Ivan grinned, unrepentent once more, and pecked Tony on the cheek. “I’ll try. But no promises.”
