"Yup. That's also why we're here." He walked in and held the door for Vivian. He than looked up to the cashier. "Hey, Allen. Is my dad in." "Yeah he's in the shop." The cashier replied. "Thanks. Follow me." Darek said as he made his way to the back.

"Hey dad." Darek came upon a pair of legs sticking out from under a car. "Hey son." Darek's dad came out from under the car and stood up. "So this must be Vivian." He grabbed a rag and wiped his hands before holding one out for Vivian to shake. "It's nice to meet you."

Vivian smiled and shook his hand, "Yes, that would be me." She laughed slightly and looked around the shop. "What happened to the Lancer?" She asked and crouched down at the front of the car. She leaned over and looked around, then sat back up, looking over at Darek and his dad.

"It's just a routine oil change." Darek's dad replied. "I was actually just finishing up." "So, is my part in yet?" Darek asked after his dad finished. "She's getting all antsy about it." He pointed to Vivian. "Yeah it's ready for you in the other shop." His dad replied.

Vivian stood up and blushed. "I don't get to look at cars that often... You'd feel antsy too if all you had the chance to repair are remotes, computers and other small objects." She defended, then crossed her arms over her chest.

"Well anyway go wait at that door while I go pull my car in." Darek said pointing to a door on the far side of the shop. He than turned and headed out of the shop. "And I'll see you at home when you get done." His dad said as he finished cleaning up. "Again it was nice meeting you." He turned to Vivian before leaving.

Vivian nodded, "Please is all mine." She stated to his father before giving a small bow of ehr head to him. She did as Darek directed and waited at the door.

Five minutes later Darek opened the door and turned the lights on. The shop looked like your basic auto shop; a toolbox, lift, table, etc. In the middle of the bay was Darek's car with a medium sized box in front of it.

"Yup." Darek said as he popped the hood and opened the box, pulling out a fan blade.

Vivian stood next to him with her hand on the hood. "Hm... You got me confused... American cars are... different." She laughed softly.

"We'll be changing the fan which is here." He said pointing to the front of the engine. "Than from there we'll be doing some routine maintance. Should take about two hours."

"Wow, two hours." She smiled and looked at the engine. "Where are the spark plugs? I'll check those out."

"Right here." He said pointing to a spot on the engine. "Before we do that though, let's get this fan changed out."

"Well as soon as I loosen it, I'm gonna need you to help me lift it out." He said as he grabbed a wrench and started to loosen the fan. After a few minutes he heard the sound of the nut hitting the ground.

"Alright, can do." She verified and watched. She glanced around the shop briefly, then quickly looked back at the wrench loosening the bolts.

Darek set the wrench down and pointed to the other side of the fan. "Ok what we're going to do is slowly bring it to the front of the car and than lift."

"Alright." she nodded slightly as she understood. She slide her hands to the other side of the fan and pulled it gently forward towards the front of the car.
