#((hi sylvia owns an older motorcycle but she doesn't use it often because... well she's fine with walking or the train))

"Heheh... Okay it's not wrapped pretty but it's wrapped!"

Zach proudly lifts up his gift, wrapped in some basic blue wrapping paper. Well, wrapped as best as it can be... Apollo chuckles, gently ruffling his hair.

"It's the thought that counts."

"Plus the ribbon makes it look pretty!"

"Did you already wrap yours, Dad? I can try to do it for you if you haven't."

Apollo shakes his head.

"Nope! I've already wrapped and hidden mine."

"If you were trying to be quiet, you failed."

Sylvia laughs, walking into the living room. Zach immediately covers his present.

"Ah no no no no! No peeking! Not until this Friday!"

"Noted. Speaking of... I... actually have plans that day."

"You do??"

All three heads turned towards her, Sylvia pausing. They all look confused.

"Well... I decided to take my bike out for a ride. Not really sure where I'll be going but... It's been a while..."

"...What bike?"

"The old junker Kazu and Axel helped her fix up like... 5 years ago, remember??"

"Oh! Right. The one in the garage is yours, not Dad's..."

"Ha! Dad, on a motorcycle? Even before his accident I can't see him driving one. Though, I guess I never really thought about driving one either..."

Apollo chuckles, though he doesn't deny it.

"How did you even learn to drive it if you didn't take any classes??"

"...Couldn't exactly go to a class when I was in the hospital. So I spent my time watching videos about it and basically got all the information I needed. Passed the test, got some proper gear, and boom, I've got a license to drive it."

"We'll still see you before you go?"

"Of course. We'll have breakfast together like usual, but then I'll head out for the day."

Apollo smiles, nodding.

"We'll be fine for however long you choose to be out. Guess we'll save giving you your presents til after."

Zach grins, nodding as his dad gently nudges him.

"Hooray!"
