So here it was, a year later and the new tour had started with everyone looking completely different than before and a couple hundred people joining the circuit.

"My god, how many more newbie's do you think we need?" Mac asked Kaori.

"More than 1. I'm guessing." Kaori laughed.

"I think you've been hanging out with me too long, you're starting to talk like me." Mac said.

"Yeah, well, in some ways you are like me." Kaori smiled.

"Oh yeah?" Mac asked doubting this answer will be worth.

"You sometimes do things I do." Kaori smiled.

"Oh really? What do I do?" Mac asked quirking an eye brow.

"You've started to use my shampoo. You mimic me all the time and therefore you sound like me and when I'm gone you act like I'm here." Kaori laughed.

"Yeah, well I miss you when you're gone." Mac pulled a sad face and Kaori couldn't resist kissing him.

Suddenly a blond walked into the room.

"Oh sorry, didn't mean to intrude." She said.

"Oh, don't worry about it, you weren't interrupting anything." Mac said as he itched the back of his head.

The blond just rolled her eyes.

"Oh please, you were going to suck Kaori's face off, admit it." Gabriella sighed.

Kaori's face went really red.

"In my defence, she kissed me." Mac smiled.

Kaori smiled to, it had been a year already and the young French woman named Gabriella had already made a rep for herself. She had been going out with JP for almost a year now and it seemed to be great for her, although JP wasn't around as much as she would have hoped. But she still had her many friends around.

"So, just got back from racing right?" Mac asked her as she sat down beside them.

"Uh huh. I came 4th." She said.

"Well, it's better than last." Mac cheered her up.

"Yeah I am getting better, I just need more practice!" with that she was instantly happy.

Mac smiled to Kaori.

"One compliment and she's as happy as a billionaire." Mac laughed.

"I'm sure she wasn't sad in the first place." Kaori smiled back.

Mac was so grateful that even though they had rough start with the French woman, in the end she had turned out to be a great friend.

He was more amazed that Kaori was more of a friend to her than he was.

Of course, there were a lot of friends that his wife had, he couldn't keep up with them all.

When she went off with her friends to the mall, he was confused to as to if she was with Jessica or Rebecca or Stephanie whatever. Well, he had his friends to, although he didn't really go anywhere with them, he didn't really want to go to the mall with them. The only other place where they would go was at a strip joint but he knew he was forbidden there from his wife, he didn't blame her. I mean how would you feel knowing that your partner was out looking at other people's bodies and probably getting turned on and knowing that they come home to boring old plain you.

But Mac wasn't really interested in paying strippers cash; he wanted to spend it with his wife.

"I love you Kaori." Mac couldn't help but blurt out.

"I love you to." Kaori smiled and she kissed him o the check and got up to make something to eat, probably a low fat, low sugar salad again, although he still couldn't figure out how a plate full of grass could be high in fat.

He just usually had some bacon and beef, pork, lamb and all the yummy meat that you could buy.

"Hey Kaori." Mac started.

"Yeah?" his wife called back from the kitchen area.

"After we meet the newbie's and win a couple races, wanna go house hunting?" Mac suggested.

"House hunting? You have the money to buy a new house?" Kaori called back.

"That's why I said win a couple races, to get paid like $50,000 for it then we can go find something just for us so we can be by ourselves." Mac stated.

"I'd like that, but winning might not be so easy this year." Kaori said.

"Relax, we're vets! The newbie's fear us! Muhahahahah!" Mac joked.

"If you say so." Kaori said as she sat down with her plate full of vegetables.

"What the hell is that?" Mac asked.

"What?" Kaori asked.

"That." Mac pointed to the green thing that looked like a banana.

"You mean an avocado?" kaori asked.

"If that's what'cha call it." Mac sighed and rested his head on her shoulder and relaxed into the chair and silently gazing at the television.

He was so excited and he really couldn't wait until they got a new house, so it was just them.
