Turning Lanes
"Wow, more crowded than I remember." Stormy Grayson muttered under her breath, pulling up into the LA race scene in her baby blue mustang. Her car had silver funnel clouds representing tornados cycling on both sides of her 'baby'. The car was her pride and joy. The light kit underneath lit up the metallic paint job on the tornadic details she had spent so much time on.
"This is gonna be fun." Stormy's younger sister smiled, excited. Her big blue eyes lit up, as they often sis with mischief.
"Daxsyn, No. No, We're not here to party. I'm getting this paper signed and we're out." Stormy said, her eyes searching for one particular person.
"I know this. You worry about that. I'm fine." Daxsyn smiled, almost too easily. Stormy rolled her eyes and parked. She got out, straightening out her baby blur corset top and white capris that had crises crosses up the sides of them nervously. It had been ages since she had graced the racing scene with her presence.
"I'm not playin, Dax." Stormy nodded absently, searching the crowd, papers in her hand.
"I know, Storm." Daxsyn sighed and rolled her eyes. She attempted to look in the review mirror for a last glance at her appearance. She had a backless iridescent halter top and a lime green wrap around skirt with matching stilettos. She was a bit overdressed, compared to some of the girls. She walked back to the car that had been following them, where Roman Pearce and Tej Parker were at.
"Damn." Tej muttered to Roman. Daxsyn was right up his alley, he thought, settling on the hood of Roman's car. Roman's spyder.
"You like her. I knew it. Just like Brian." Roman whispered, still grinning, his mouth barley moving.
"Shut up. Keep to yo food, fool." Tej grinned, nodding an acknowledgment at Daxsyn. "'Sides, she's been at modeling school in Paris. She doesn't have eyes for street racers or thugs. She's probably too good for us." Tej shook his head.
"Hey guys. Enjoy that last stretch?" Daxsyn asked, her blue eyes magnified by the lights of the cars and street lights.
"Long ass trip is what it was." Roman muttered, as Daxsyn looked around amused and intrigued. She had only been around Stormy, Tej, and Roman for all of a month now. Stormy had sent her to Paris to a boarding school. They were moving to LA from Miami, the boys accompanying them to get the two settled in.
"I like this scene. Nice change." Tej nodded to Roman, watching the traditional line of four cars lining up.
"Yeah, it's pretty cool. Bullit's 'round here somewhere." Roman nodded, his arms folded as he checked out some girls passing by.
"I'll be back." Daxsyn promised, getting ready to take off and go gallivanting. Both boys knew Stormy had ordered her to stay close to them, as she kept a tight rope on her. Stormy and Daxsyn had both faced something tragic, though the boys didn't know the details. They only knew Stormy was very protective of her sister and that being the reason she had been across seas.
"Dax, don't you think Storm's gonna be mad?" Roman asked, his eyebrow raised, trying to get her to think twice of her thoughts.
"I'll be back. She'll never know if you don't tell." Daxsyn smiled, batting her eyes at the boys. "I'm just gonna go check out the cars." She promised and then took off, as though on a mission. She strolled through the cars, stopping to check out the eclipses, supras, and came to a skyline that caught her eye. She was resenting the fact Stormy had shipped her off when a familiar voice spoke, jarring her out of her thoughts.
"DAX?" Brian O'Connor asked, getting out of his car, his hands in his pockets. "Damn, Girl, you grew up." Brian grinned, grabbing her and pulling her into a tight hug. She was like the little sister he had never had. Daxsyn laughed and clung to him tightly. "Your sister here?" He asked, holding her out at arm's length to get a better look at her.
"Yeah. Man, Bri, I have missed you!" Daxsyn smiled, tears in her eyes. It had been a little less than four years since she had seen him.
"Hey, we gotta catch up. I'm gettin ready to race. Will you be round when I get back in like ten seconds?" He asked, joking at his speed. The fourth racer pulled up to the line as he looked at her for an answer.
"Hells yeah." Daxsyn promised, backing away from his car. "I wouldn't mss the showdown." She grinned and said to no one in particular. She saw Stormy heading for him and sank even more into the crowd, to hide. Brian was so focused on siking himself up that he didn't see Stormy headed his way, pen and papers in hand.
"Hey Blondie, can you sign these?" He was jolted out of his thoughts he was trying to ignore when Stormy slammed her papers on the hood of his car.
"What?" He asked, more than startled, revving the engine.
"Divorce papers, Brian. Something you were supposed to have taken care of a long time ago." Stormy said, taking a deep breath to control her anger.
"I ...forgot. And you know you taking off like that wasn't fair." Brian tried not to grin, staring straight ahead. The sight of her long black hair and dark eyes made him smile all the time. He loved her so much. Just the sight of her, angry or not, made him smile.
"Not funny." Stormy said, handing him the papers.
"Oops, they blew away. Damn Calli wind." Brian said, watching Edwin and the rag for the take off. "My bad. Can we talk after the race?" He asked, again revving the engine.
"I got more and we'll talk now, you ass." Stormy said, determined not to let him charm his way out of this.
"Come on, Storm. I gotta race." He said, getting desperate. He couldn't loose. Stormy was quiet and then perked up, an idea in her head. She marched over to the passenger side and got in, surprising him even more.
"And I gotta buy a house for me and Dax. Just sign them. I don't want anything." Stormy said as Brian pulled out, his tires squealing.
"Look, after all that happened and you taking off, I figure I need to think it over before I sign those. Buckle up." Brian said, rounding the first corner and shifting gears.
"Yeah, well, I had a lot to deal with. Just sign them." Stormy sighed, her patience short. She needed to get back to Daxsyn. "I want to buy a house and the lady said I had to provide divorce papers or have you cosign. So, here I am with the divorce papers." Stormy said, as Brian hit his highest gear.
"Well, then you've got time so we can talk this over. You've been married to me for five years, so one or two more days won't hurt." Brian pulled in, his fans trailing on his bumper. He looked at Stormy, his eyes intent, telling her he wasn't playing.
"UGH." Stormy got out as Brian was stormed by his group of followers.
"Meet us at Toretto's house. I mean, follow me." Brian instructed, calling over the crowd. It was then he saw Roman and Tej. He watched them make their way towards then and about did a double-take. "Tonight reunion night, or what?" He asked, grinning. Roan pulled him into a manly hug. Tej and Brain knocked their knuckles together and Brian shook his head, in shock.
"Nah, Cuz, we wit Stormy. How the hell you two know each other?" He asked, shaking his head. Stormy had said she was coming to serves some papers, but they didn't figure it to be Brian. They came to say hi while she was taking care of her business. Brian held up his finger, with a wedding band on it.
"No shit. She said she was divorced, but she never said it was you." Tej said, his grin huge.
"I'm not divorced yet, Bro." Brian grinned, loving it. "We're not done talking." He nodded as he watched Stormy walk to her car. He stared at her, relishing in her beauty. She hadn't changed a bit.
"She's gonna kick yup ass, Bra." Roman warned. "She's got a hell ofva temper. We met her when she started working across the street from Tej's garage on the strip ." Roman said, knowing how stubborn Stormy was.
"Yeah, I love her temper. She can kick my ass. I have known her and Dax forever. Before any shit went down." Brian laughed, obviously having a good time. Tej looked at Roman and raised an eyebrow.
"This is all amusement to you, ain't it, Bullit?" Tej asked, shaking his head.
"If you only knew the whole story, Tej." Brian laughed. "Yo, make sure you guys follow us to Dom's house, will ya? Especially my temperamental wife, ok?" Brian grinned, almost as though he was overly happy. He was amazed at how small a world it really was.
"Yeah, Man. We'll try." Roman said, watching Stormy sit there, a look of hurt of some sorts on her face. Roman wished he had a clue as to what the whole story was.

"You new to the races?" Dominic Toretto asked Daxsyn, who was eyeballing Dominic's car. She nodded, then went back to looking at his car and the details of it. Dominic found this odd, most girls either became nervous, skankish, or cattish. She didn't seem to be paying him any attention.
"You racing her tonight?" She asked, looking up at the muscular guy that was taller than her.
"Nope, my boy's doin all the racin tonight. Or was. We're finished for the night." Dominic said, matter of factly. "You see the last race?" He asked, checking her out while her back was turned. Him and Letty had mutually called off their relationship after all of the past events. She was dating Leon now and Dominic was enjoying his time to himself.
"Yeah. Which one was your boy?" Daxsyn asked, bending down at her knees to look inside the car.
"The one running the silver skyline. His name's Brian." Dominic said, making Daxsyn stand up, interested.
""Really? Wow. He's my brother-in-law." Daxsyn said nonchalantly. This made Dominic choke on his coke he was drinking. "He's a good guy, though." She smiled, tucking her golden hair behind her ear.
"Oh, really? Interesting." Dominic said, wondering how that was. "Well in that case, you want a ride to my house? He's headed there." He offered, not sure why he was being so nice. It was out of character, especially after him and Letty had called things off. He had swore off even talking to a female other than her or his sister. Hell, he didn't even have to talk to Mia. She was away at school.
"I don't even know you." Daxsyn smiled, although wanting to ride in his beast of a car.
"Yeah. Dominic Toretto. You can call me Dom." He stuck out his hand, holding hers for a moment. He thought she had to be new not to know who he was.
"Daxsyn Grayson. And you can call me Dax." She nodded, watching people pulling out. Very few cars had yet to leave and she was thankful. Her lime green skirt would stand out to Stormy if many more people left. "But no thanks. I would if I could find my sister, but I can't." She said, disappointment in her voice. Dominic tossed her a cell phone, making her laugh. "Yeah, I shoulda thought of that." She grinned, twirling her hair, emphasizing she was blonde. He grinned and rolled his eyes. "Storm.." She started but was quickly interrupted.
"Daxsyn Skylar Grayson, I told you not to take off on me." Stormy said, her voice in a more than annoyed tone.
"He didn't sign them, did he?" Daxsyn asked, turning away from Dominic, smiling and happy. She had different plans than Stormy's. She was going to get them back together, one way or another. She jus hadn't figured out how.
"No." Stormy sighed. "Where the hell you at and who's phone do you have?" She asked, hitting her steering wheel in frustration.
"I'm with Bri's boy. I'ma head to his house. See you there." Daxsyn smiled and winked at Dominic, ignoring her sister. Dominic looked amused at how bubbly and cheerful she was.
"You really piss me off sometimes. " Stormy said, as Roman stood behind her and massaged her shoulders.
"But you know you love me." Daxsyn's cheerful voice bantered back.
"See you there, ya damn brat." Stormy clicked her teeth and hung up. She looked at Roman. She wanted to cry but she refused to do so. She was going to hold it together one way or another. It was going to be a long night if things kept up the way they were going.
