There were cars in every direction. Racer skanks stood with, who they thought, were the kings of the street. Trying to get in with 'the crowd'. No matter how long I stay with the racing scene, I don't think I will ever understand the logic of 'the racer skank'. Okay, so if some hotrod racer boy decided to take you home for the night, you think he's going to want you to stay? Hello no. You'll just be number God only knows, on his bed post.

Don't get me wrong. I love the races. It's what I live for. The sights, the sounds, the pure adrenaline. It's addictive. One taste, and you're hooked for life. That's why no one really gives two shits about it being so damn illegal. Everyone here has to get their fix. And all it costs it 2G or a pink slip. Not that much of a high price when you've been coming to these things as long as I have.

Right now, I'm stood in the Tokyo underground. The last race of the night is about to take place. But this one is special for me. Not only is it the last race of the night, but it's my last race in Tokyo for a while. Some bad stuff has gone down around here and it's in my best interest if I can't be found for a while. So tomorrow morning, I'm taking off to LA to stay with family. Don't know what the hell I'm going to do without my fix of racing.

"Please don't tell me you're getting all phiosophical with your thoughts again. Not tonight girl" I turn and face the owner of the voice. Twinkie, my best friend. Right hand man. Practically brother. I think I'm going to miss him the most. I shrug my shoulders and look sheepishly at the floor. I can almost hear him roll his eyes as he walks up to me and puts his arm around my shoulder.

"Adrienne, this is your last night in Tokyo for a while. I forbid and moping of any kind" That manages to raise a small smile out of me. Only two people can ever seem to cheer me up. Twink and Han. Han, I'm going to miss him. All these years as best friends with unbelievable sexual tension that everybody knows about but never speaks of.

Twink moves me to the starting line and I see little Mr. Drif King sat leaning against his car with his girl, Neela stood next to him. Don't get me wrong, Shawn's a cool guy just...a cocky SOB. His girl Neela's cool though. She's really been my only source of girl time. I always hang with guys more than girls, always have. It's just nice to have a little estrogen around with you some times. Too much testosterone and your screwed.

"Yo, Adrienne, glad you could make it" Cocky son of a ...You see what I mean? I was here years before he showed his Alabama Mississippi red neck ass around here. I'm the only girl in Tokyo who can drift too. Well, drift good anyway.

"Oh yea Shawn, I was thinking of just not showing up to the races that I've been coming to since i was fifteen" I hope he understands I was being sarcastic. He just throws me a smile and shakes his head.

"You're an annoying little bitch, but I'm going to miss you" glad it please you your highness. Jackass.

That's when I heard it. One thing I thought I would never witness in my life. A car pulls up in front of us and out steps Han. He walks over to Earl and hands him some money before looking directly at me.

"I want in on tonight's race" and that was enough to send a wave of silence over the entire underground. All eyes on Han.

"What? Are you serious man? But I thought you never raced" Yea damn right you better be shaking in your boots 'DK'. Han could kick your ass.

"I found something worth racing for" He said without taking his eyes off of me. Dayum. The one time Han decideds to break the sexual tension and open an oppertunity for us to...maybe try something, just happens to be the day I'm leaving. I feel Twink tighten his grip on my shoulders before whispering to me.

"Never thought he had the balls to do it. You always were the one thing that got under his skin" I looked at him confused.

"What are you talking about?" He shook his head lightly.

"Adrienne, he could never say no to you. The first few times you and Han hung out, you told him that one day, you wanted to see him race. This is that one day girl. This is a big thing for Han, you obviously mean alot to him"

Have I mentioned that guys are assholes?
