The four burst out laughing. "RACECARRRRACECAR!" Hayner yelled out, with the graceful accompaniment of Olette's higher tone. Roxas and Pence were far too busy laughing to join in. Even though Pence's mothers yells of "keep it down up there!!" managed to rise above their roaring laughter, and even though they all knew everyone else heard it, they kept on laughing. By the time the older woman came to the room to see what the ruckus was about, they were holding their sides, literally crying.
The next day in school, they all met up in front of Olette's locker like every morning, stared at each other, and slowly started grinning. Before long they were using the lockers as support, laughing their hearts out and tearing up from laughing so hard.
And even when they met up to walk home together after school, they stared at each other, and couldn't conceal their amusement. With that common palindrome echoing in the back of their minds, they couldn't help but keep a smile.
And to this day, probably nearly a year after that momentous moment, whenever they hear the word racecar, they start to laugh.
They were all together, sitting innocently on a bench at the station, as Seifer and his thugs coincidentally walked by. Of course, Seifer being Seifer, he felt the need to flaunt his new toy. The big thug, often called Rai, grinned and held up a box with a large picture of a wooden car with "THE BEST RACE CAR EVER" written in large eye-catching colors.
The four exchanged looks before, once again, bursting out laughing. Seifer being Seifer, got mad and immediately demanded that they race down a hill in racecars. Hayner, of course, accepted without any consultation from anybody else. The duel was arranged for a week from then. Hayner, Pence, Olette, and Roxas started on their racecar right away.
It was comprised of four skateboards, a floor made of weak wood, and lots of taunts usually involving the words "land raft." But, despite constant mockery, this was their best and only survival mechanism. I mean racing machine. On the day of the race, they all happily sailed across a concrete ocean and up a hill to meet Seifer and his wooden bullet (as he so cleverly named it).
Amazingly, all 7 of them laughed. Only, as they headed down the hill – Seifer in his bullet and Hayner on his raft – the heat got to the soft tires of "THE BEST RACE CAR EVER" and oddly enough, melted the tires.
As soon as Seifer was out of the car, the train hit it – smashing it to pieces. Except for the tires, which were welded to the ground. Hayner's haughty nature shot the town-defense trio a satisfied smirk before they all headed to the Usual Place. And Pence had but one thing to say before they completed the day with entertainment to no ends.
"RACECARRRRACECAR!!"
