OBAN STAR RACERS:
EVA X AVATAR JORDAN
It's been five years since the race of Oban…
"What's that?" says Eva as she shields her eyes from the bright light of an orb that stood defiantly in the dark. She tries to walk towards it, but it seems to get further and further away. "Hey, what's going on?" she says, breaking into a sprint but to no avail. "Ugh!" she says as she clamps here hands over her ears. The beast of Oban sing, they sing so loudly and so sadly that she cowers at its impact to her heart.
"Eva! Eva! Wake up honey." Eva wakes up distraught, with her hip long hair spread everywhere with red teary eyes.
"Dad, where am I?"
"You're at home Sweetie, in your room." Says Don Wei, who has aged over the years with only two stripes of black in his hair and more wrinkles on his face.
"Sweetie, this is the third time this month, these dreams are coming more and more often!" he says as he throws his hands into the air. "Maybe we should call a shrink?"
"Calm down, I'm fine. Let me change and get ready for work."
"Maybe, you should take it easy today, you know, get some rest?"
"I'm fine, now leave."
And the winner is… Eva Wein! *zooms bye in a pink, purple and white racer similar to the Whizzing arrow. Parks at the cockpit, gets out and removes her helmet.
She shakes her hair which is tied in a long pony tail but with her regular style hair in front. She's wearing camo pants, a black tank top, read all stars and her mum's goggles.
"Nice racing lil mouse." Says Ric, who is slouched against a nearby wall. He's wearing Raybans and his hair is tied in a braid, but beside that, he looks quite the same.
"T'sup coach, how's it going.?"
"I'm perfectly fine, how about you? No fancy tricks at the finish line?"
"Uh- um, I just wanted to take a break for a while, you know?" she says, avoiding his eyes.
There now seated in the now empty stands
"Did you have another dream?"
Eva looks shocked then distressed, and looks up at the birds flying in the sky.
"You know you can tell me anything right?" says Ric as he sits closer to her and wraps his arm round her neck, over her shoulder. Almost completely oblivious to Roc's actions, she sighs and continues staring up at the sky.
"It's always about an orb of light, alone in the dark. Every time I try to touch it, it keeps getting further and further away, and the singing!" She blocks her ears with her hand, as if the song was currently flying through the wind. "The singing, it's so sad, the beasts of Oban! It shakes an empty part of my heart that I didn't even know I had."
"Maybe, you need to take a break from everything, go on a vacation. Maybe some hot springs?"
"You really think that would help?"
"Of course it will, leave it to me lil mouse." And stands up while shaking her hair and makes his way to leave.
