Summary: Its finally time to Come Clean
Set in the movie 'verse
"I'm sorry Mr. Racer, this will probably be the hardest question I have asked."
The W.R.L. racer was sitting in the kitchen of his house with the reporter from Race magazine. He wiped his face with the palm of his hand and sighed. He really shouldn't have agreed to this interview. "Alright go ahead. Ask the question."
"If you had one more day with Rex, What would you do?"
A million things popped into his head all at the same time. He thought for a moment but then he smiled. "I'd go racing like we used to."
The interviewer stood up, thanked Speed and left the twenty year old to his thoughts.
****************
A couple of weeks later Speed was doing laps at Thunder-head when the sight of another car caught his eye.
He stopped by the car. "Hey X." He said stepping out of his car. "What are you doing here?"
Racer X hopped down from the hood of his car and walked closer to Speed. "Pop was worried about you. So they called me to ask if I had seen you. I told them no, but that I'd look for you. So here I am."
Speed nodded and sat on the hood of his car, sliding over so the other racer could sit down next to him. "Trixie and I broke up..."
Racer X nodded and breathed out a soft "Oh."
After a couple of minutes of silence Speed cleared his throat. "You know, no matter how many times you tell me that your not Rex, I still have a hard time believing it ."
The older racer sighed inwardly. "Is there anything I can do to help?"
Speed though for a second then an idea came to mind. "Ya." He said. " I want a lap like me and Rex used to do."
Racer X nodded and hopped off the hood of the Mach 6. He crossed to his car pulling out the keys. He sat down in the seat and pushed it as far back as it would go. "It'll be tight, but I think we'll man..."
Racer X stopped taking and instantly got out of the car. But it was already too late.
Speed jumped off the car and walked towards Racer X. "I knew it was you. It was you the whole time wasn't it?"
Before the older man could reply Speed had him by the waist, hugging him tightly . "We needed you Rex and you weren't there. You never came back. God, Rex why didn't you come back? I needed you."
"I had to protect you Speedy. Those guys were after me and I couldn't risk you getting hurt" Rex wrapped his arms around Speed. " You gotta believe me. Please?"
They stood there like that for a while just relishing in the fact that they could hug their brother again.
A little bit later Speed looked up at his older brother. "So Rexxy can I have that lap now?"
Rex smiled at his little brother. "Ya Speedy. Ya..."
A.N.
I was so ticked off at Rex that I had to right this. So R&R please?
