Chapter 4: Shut up and Drive
See i was looking for a driver who's qualified
So if you think that you're the one step into my ride
I'm a fine-tuned supersonic speedin machine
With a sunroof top and a gangster lean
The crowd cheered all around me as I walked out of the Women's changing room. I dressed in a black beater top and leather light purple pants with matching long sleeve jacket, unzipped. My long hair was hidden under my brother old helmet, with my number on it. I always keep it and only wear it to impartment races. I wish he was here, with Ember, cheering me on….I can always dream…
I walked over to my girl, SS 10. I walked around her once, before getting in and started her up. The sound of her purr, I know, this race was mine. I looked over at speed and he grinned over at me, as he started his car. The race has almost began.
5...
4...
3...
2...
"1!" I yelled and put my feet to the petal, to the metal, speeding into second…behind speed.
So if you feel me let me know, know, know
Come on now what you waiting for, for, for
My engine's ready to explode, explode, explode
So start me up and watch me go, go, go, go
for a whole, speed and I danced for first. We were on the final lap, and our time was 9:01:02 now. We had 16 seconds to beat Rex's score. It was one of ours for the taking. That when speed slowed down and hooked my back side, slowly me down too.
6 seconds.
We were still in the lead, when he let go but didn't pull out in front of me, when he clearly. That when it hit me.
We crossed the finish line with 9:19:54.
Get you where you wanna go if you know what i mean
Got a ride that smoother than a limosine
Can you handle the curves? Can you run all the lights?
If you can baby boy then we can go all night
We both pulled to a stop and I stared at him in disbelief. He let me win.
Speed Racer's POV
I go from 0 to 60 in three point five
Baby you got the keys-
Now shut up and drive
(drive, drive, drive)
Shut up and drive
(drive, drive, drive)
he let Sora win, she needed the money so all he did was slow her down so Rex's top score would still be that another race. She got him think. All he wanted to do was race to win, she…she did it for herself and her sister.
He didn't go home that night, he just stayed at the track with the Mach 5. He know he did a good thing by letting Sora win, but he couldn't feel like he let everyone else down. He leaned against the Mach 5, looking around the stadium. I heard a racing car come in through the entence and there was the SS 10, with a very. VERY mad looking Sora at the wheel.
Sora's POV
I got class like a 57 cadillac
Got all the drive but a whole lot of boom in the back
You look like you can handle whats under my hood
You keep saying that you will boy I wish you would
I was mad that he let me win. I nearly took it out on Ember, but didn't I had to re-race him. I didn't feel right letting him let me win. It was driving me insane. I changed into my black tube top and my purple jumpsuit, with the top wrapped around my waist. I went to Speed's house, only to find he wasn't there and…Spritle tried to get me to stay for dinner, but I had to find Speed.
I found out he was still at the track and raced off towards it. As I speeded threw the entence I saw the Mach 5 and speed leaning against it. I came to a quick stop! I jumped out of the SS 10. I walked over to him and dropped the money in front of him.
"how could you speed!"
"what'd I do?"
"you let me win!" he looked away and rubbed the back of neck.
"you need the money more them we do, plus I've win on this track a lot. Some else had to win once and awhile."
I pointed at him. "you! Me! Right now!" I point to the ground. "this will tell who really wins the race."
"but you won fai-"
"NO! you let me win! I want to win on my own!"
He smirked and jumped in the Mach 5, "Fine…Sora. You're on!"
Get you where you wanna go if you know what i mean
Got a ride that smoother than a limosine
Can you handle the curves? Can you run all the lights?
If you can baby boy then we can go all night
Speed and I were at the starting line, when the yelled out, "3...2...1...GO!" we both speeded off around the track at record speed. We did the same dance as we did ever race. We traded places in first place. The feel of the wind going there my hair was heavenly and we smirked and grinned at one another.
I go from 0 to 60 in three point five
Baby you got the keys-
Now shut up and drive
(drive, drive, drive)
Shut up and drive
(drive, drive, drive)
Speed and I were side by side as we went around bends and turned. I floored it, but Speed was faster.
Cos you play the game, got what I got (Get it Get it)
Don't Stop It's a sure shot
Aint no ferrari huh boy I'm sorry
I ain't even worried
So step inside and ride
(ride, ride, ride, ride, ride...)
As the finish line came up, Speed pulled ahead and cross the line, just seconds before I did. I smiled and came to a slight stop, facing Speed. It was weird, I was happy to loss. I still sat in the SS 10, when Speed got out of the Mach 5. He made his way over to me again.
So if you feel me let me know, know, know
Come on now what you waiting for, for, for
My engine's ready to explode, explode, explode
So start me up and watch me go, go, go, go
"wasn't that fun or what?" he said leaning over the door. I looked up at him with a big smile.
"this was why my brother raced!" I said giving him a thumb up. "I'm only in it for the cash, but he…he was in it for the love of racing. As you said," I started up SS 10 again. "racings' in our blood."
"tell me, what does SS on SS 10 stand for?"
"SS?" I wondered. It was from my brother's old car and I just added an '0' to it. "I don't know…brother never told me."
"I think…I think it stands for you…Sora Sky!"
I smiled and turned to the radio on and sang along, looking at Speed the whole time.
