CHAPTER ONE – At the Races

Anthony Toretto looked over at his son and daughter queuing up for hot dogs at the nearby stand, bickering childishly about relish and ketchup and which was better. He chuckled to himself, running a hand over his shaven head as he studied them.

Amelia, Mia, was the true beauty and likeness of her late mother Isabelle, from her long black locks of hair and cocoa butter skin to her toothy white smile and contagious laughter. She was slender and tall for all 15 years of her, looking older than she was.

However her brother Dominic was not so innocent, he in fact was the opposite. Tony sighed; Dom always got himself into trouble. His 6ft something son had a short fuse and a temper that would make his mother roll over in her grave. At seventeen Dom was already known for sleeping with all the girls and Tony could only hope he'd find a woman that would make an honest man out of him.

"...Dom you're such a moron, I can't believe they let you graduate you last year." Mia's voice snapped Tony back to reality. She and Dom were walking back towards him, munching on their hot dogs and teasing each other.

"Well, I can't believe you're so fat." Dom retorted, immediately cringing from the hurt look on Mia's face, he hadn't actually meant to hurt her. He watched his sister put her food and soda on the picnic table he and Tony had set up early and go inside their trailer where her best friend Letty was reading a car magazine.

Tony slapped his son upside the head, "Go apologize to your sister Dominic." He scolded eyes sharp and serious.

"But dad..." Dom all but whined though it was no use, with a wave of his hand, Tony dismissed him.

"He's not that bad, brothers are assholes sometimes, just like we piss them off. It's like sibling duty or something."

"He said I was fat though! Am I fat? Am I?"

Letty laughed at her friend, laying the magazine she was reading next to her. "You know you're not chica, Dom's just pissed because Vince had to be at some family thing out of state and couldn't come here to 'balance the sexes'." She deepened her voice as she spoke the last words, imitating Dom from earlier.

"Great, two against one." The girls turned to look at Dom standing in the door of the trailer, rolling his eyes.

He didn't like the fact they ganged up on him. Hell, Letty's bad enough on her own without Mia, he thought grumpily as he stepped into the trailer fully.

"Go away Dom, we're having girl talk." Mia commented, scoffing at him.

"Mia I'm sorry, it was just a joke!" he took a seat next to Letty on the slightly beat up couch.

"You called me fat!"

"You called me a moron"

"I proved my point, you moron!"

"Careful you don't look at any food Mia, you'll get even fatter!"

"Enough!" Letty yelled over them, leaving both Toretto's glaring at each other silently. "Geez, you guys need to take some pills or something." She shook her head "C'mon, your dad's racing soon, let's go help him out."

Dom grumbled something but got up and went out the trailer, avoiding his dad's look. Mia also left the trailer, muttering along the lines of 'someone needs to cut his dick off, it past second hand'.

"So Mr T, when you racing, can't wait to see you do your shit." Letty smiled, leaning against the end of the picnic table, oblivious to the looks guys were giving her as they walked passed.

Looking over at Letty, he frowned. "Don't curse, you're a lady and they changed my track time to later, my slot had too many racers."

"Letty? A lady?" Dom busted up laughing, holding his sides. "More like-"

He was cut off by screaming and people running towards the track. An explosion sounded and the four took off running to see what the fuss was. When they got there they saw a car blazing, black smoke inching its way towards them. Tony went to talk to someone who had seen what had happened before he came back to the girls and Dom.

"Looks like someone ran Hakil off the track," sighing, "track's closed. Dom, take Letty and Mia back to the trailer, pack things up. I'll be there in a minute, I have to get the Charger." Tony finished.

"Alright dad no problem." Dom answered, ushering his sister and her best friend away as his father went to get the car.

"Thank God that wasn't daddy." Mia stated her face filled with mixed emotions. If the time hadn't been changed, she could've been without a dad.

"Don't think like that baby girl." Dom put his arm around his little sister's shoulders, reading her thoughts. "The important thing is it wasn't."
