"Dad! Dad! Guess what! Guess what! You'll never believe it! Guess what!"
Pops moved the newspaper in front of his face down to see the enthusiastic face of his youngest son staring at him. The proximity startled him and he jumped a little. Plaster on his face was a giant smile, with the edge of a twizzler hanging out the corner of his mouth. Pops glanced at his watch.
"Spritle, what have I said about candy before breakfast…" Pops sighed, taking a sip of his coffee.
"I beat Speed in a race! Oh it was amazing!" Spritle exclaimed, throwing his arms up. "You should have seen it! Me and my car-fu abilities! He came in forth you know! It was great!"
Pops proceeded to choke on his coffee.
Mom gave Spritle a doubtful look, placing a plate of waffles in front of Pops. "Honey, don't scare your father like that."
"When did you start racing? You're like… ten! How- what? You have a car? SPARKY!"
The fluster mechanic slid down in his seat. "It wasn't me I swear."
"Did Royalton give you a car? You know he's crooked Spritle-"
"Pops, listen to yourself, you sound ridiculous."
"Now look-"
"I got to drive the Shooting Star and everything! Maybe I'll be a big racer too! Oh! I gotta tell Chim-Chim!" Spritle hollered, bolting from the room, nearly knocking over a very sleepy Speed who was entering the kitchen, dressed in an oversized shirt and pajama pants.
"SPEED! Where did Spritle get a car?" Pops demanded.
"Did Racer X let him use it?" Sparky added.
"Spritle has a car?" Speed asked before frowning. "That's no fair… I didn't get one till I turned sixteen…"
"He said he beat you in a race and there was car-fu…"
"Car-fu? It has a name now?"
"Speed!"
"Well he did." Speed admitted sheepishly. "I swear this stupid thing is rigged." He raised his arm to show them the Wii wheel dangling on his wrist. "Did you know I'm in a video game? Because I sure didn't…"
I'll explain where this came from because I know it is really random.
I just got a Wii a few weeks ago and found a cheap copy of the Speed Racer game… I've been playing it non-stop in my basement… I've been playing as Speed and he keeps losing because I suck at it, lol. So then my brain got this idea and wouldn't leave me alone.
