Click and Roll

Click! Both of my pop-up lights blinked wide open all on their own. Wait—did I just do that? A bright, cheerful hum zipped straight down to my axle! I gave a tiny forward nudge, and my tires actually rolled. The warm, gritty asphalt gripped firmly underneath. Right in front of me, a pale parking line marked the dark ground. With a quick flick of momentum, I rolled forward just enough to tap my tire right over the painted line, coming to a neat halt in the breeze. I can really move!
