"Silva where have you been?" Her manager, Zarek asked. He then noticed that she was a bit happier than usual. "What have you been up to last night?"
"I was sleeping at friend's house after playing pool," she quickly lied.
"Your not telling me the truth, is it because you had a little fun?" Wiggling his eyebrows, getting her to choke on her Monster drink.
She sputtered, "What do you mean by fun? It better not mean what I'm thinking right now." She began to turn red at what he was getting at.
"Ah-ha! I knew it! You had sex with that other Earth team pilot, Rick thunderbolt didn't you!" He watched her as her shoulders slumped in defeat.
I can at least be happy none of the team was here, to hear him say that. "Yeah, you got a problem with that?" Tossing the empty Monster can into a nearby trash bin.
"No," Was all he said.
"No?" Looking at him with surprise. "Why?"
"Well, I'm not your dad. So I can't say whom you do it with, but I can at least give some advice. Be careful when fooling around with that guy or your going to get burned by his manager."
"I already know how much trouble I am already in if he does learn of it," she sighed. "I better get ready, the race is about to start in a little while. Uh, where's the team?"
"Their taking their lunch break," Zarek, replied a little annoyed.
"Is everything checked an ready at least?"
"Yeah, the mechanics Tai and Robby have already done the last minute checks. It should be ready to race right now." Following her over to her star-racer, Heaven's sword.
"I'll just wait in the cockpit until the signal is given, Zarek." Sitting in the pilot seat as the glass cover slipped into place.
