"Swing Low, Sweet Chariot" by Wallis Willis.

Kaorin awoke to find herself in the back seat of the Yukarimobile, snuggled up against a sleeping Sakaki. She realized that the car wasn't wildly swerving, as usual. In fact, it felt like the car was only coasting, and gently drifting from side to side.

Maybe Miss Yukari isn't such a bad driver after all, Kaorin thought.

But then, Kaorin realized that Yukari had also fallen asleep... at the wheel.

Kaorin silently prayed that this was a "dream within a dream," and that she would wake up again soon— or, if it wasn't, that she would die quickly and painlessly.
