"You did what? Go Q-man, getting a bit brave with the females aren't you?" Duo smirked. "Let me get this straight. We are going to go out to eat lunch and watch a bunch of morons go around in circles on their motorcycles so we can sit with a bunch of ignorant women who are just there to watch the men and drool over their bodies?" Wufei asked. Quatre looked uncomfortable for a moment and then nodded weakly, trying to put together some more food for the girls. "INJUSTICE!" "Shut your trap Wufei. Sit back and enjoy the chicks." Duo slapped the Chinese boy on the back. "At least it's a competition, Wufei. Be glad its not it's not some love and loss romance play" Heero whispered to his companion.

The sound of the doorbell rang through out the house and Trowa silently walked away to answer the door. The sight that greeted him was Amber being shoved into the house by Tristra. Behind them Trowa could see an old man, who he assumed was their grandfather, drooling over Quatre's limo. "Uh, come in…" Trowa uttered. The rest of the guys joined them in the living room. "Amber, Tristra, this is Heero, Duo, and Wufei" Quatre said pointing to the guys as he said their names. Heero nodded to each of them. Duo grinned ear to eat and elbowed Quatre in the ribs. "And they're cute too!" he whispered excitedly. Wufei crossed his arms over his chest and coughed.

"Hey! Are we going or not!" Grandpa Yoshi shouted. Amber rolled her eyes and they made their way outside. Quatre offered to take Yoshi in the car (not the limo) with himself and Trowa. Heero, Wufei and Duo headed for their motorcycles. "You guys ride? Any reason why you're not in the race?" Tristra asked. They ignored her. They all got on their bikes and Trowa followed them to the race in the car.

The track was fairly small and at least 20 people where there (including the girls) by the time they arrived. "TRISTRA!!!" a female voice shouted out. "CELIE!!!" Tristra shouted, running towards a girl with auburn hair. When they met they hugged and jumped up and down. Duo leaned over to Amber, "Are they…ya know…" he whispered. Amber snickered, "Why, worried about the competition?" Duo couldn't think of anything to say (that's a first, right?) so he walked away. "Tris we have to sign in! Get off your girlfriend!" Amber shouted loud enough for a couple of heads to turn. She smirked. Tristra rolled her eyes. As they signed in Trowa and the others walked over to the girls. "NNN! Trowa! Hi! What are you doing here?" Veronica squealed. "Uh, guys, this is Veronica, Celina, and Sylvia. They are friends of Amber and Tristra's. Girls, this is Quatre, Duo, Heero, and Wufei. We live across the lake from Amber and Tristra." Trowa introduced them. "Nice to meet you" Sylvia said, stepping forwards and shaking hands with Quatre, who smiled brightly.

"The first of the three races is about to start!" a male voice boomed over the speakers. "Come on, let's get to the starting line and watch! The first race is, what, 3 laps?" Duo asked. They walked to the starting line. Tristra was ready to go and Amber joined them by the fence shortly with Yoshi. "Why aren't you racing Amber?" Duo asked. "Tris and I never race against each other in competitions" she answered simply. And they were off. Tristra stayed in the front for the first lap but another racer, Kate, came up beside her and they struggled for first for the next lap and a half. Finally Kate pulled forward just enough to beat Tristra and the race ended with Tristra in second place, but just barely.

"20 minutes until the next race!" the voice boomed again. Tristra joined them looking particularly pissed off. "Do you think there is enough time for lunch?" Quatre asked. She nodded tensely and they wondered off to find a good place to picnic. Quatre brought out the food and they ate while they got to know each other a little better.

"Does any one ever tell you that you two look like twins?" Duo asked, stuffing his mouth with banana. Amber and Tristra looked at each other and shook their heads. "If you don't mind me asking, how did you guys meet?" Quatre asked. "We met at the club…" Veronica started but she stopped when Trowa signaled her to keep quiet. "What club? Huh Trowa? What club?" Duo asked. Trowa glared at the braided boy who then pulled his braid forward and started messing with it.

Tristra almost choked on her grapes "It was you? Amber that's that chick we saw the other day on our way to work!" she blurted out. "Excuse me? Oh not again! I'm not a 'chick', thank you very much. I am very much a guy" Duo tossed his braid over his shoulder, glaring at Tristra. She glared back "Well forgive me oh manly one. Not many guys you see have braids down to their…" she started. "Tristra! Don't start! Where do you come from anyway, Duo?" Amber asked.

Duo pulled his braid forward again and messed with it. "L2 colony" he muttered. At that point Yoshi, who had been trying to win a game of black jack with Wufei, looked up. "Where ya from boy?" he asked. "L2 colony, sir. My name is Duo Maxwell. Did you used to live there?" Duo asked. Yoshi looked sorrowfully at Amber who had her back to him. "I had business there, yes" he answered. Duo was confused but he dismissed it.

"5 minutes!" the voice boomed, "Get to your positions, racers!" Amber stood, "That'd be me, I'll see you all after the race." Wufei screeched, "How could I possible loose to you! This is insanity! Injustice!" Yoshi just grinned and waved his hands in the air between them, "Go fish is a tough game my son! Yahahahahaha! Now hand it over!" Wufei practically threw a six pack of Jell-O cups at him and stormed away.

Duo stood and sat next to Grandpa Yoshi, whispering to him, "What kind of business?" he asked. Grandpa busied himself with picking up the cards in front of them. He spoke quietly so that the others couldn't hear them, "I had friends there, that's all there is to tell." Duo remembered the look he gave Amber. The others stood and started to wander towards the fence. Duo promised he'd pick up. "Why did you give Amber that look?" he asked, starting to shove the extra food into baskets. Yoshi looked at him. "Fine I'm going to watch her win the race, see you there Yoshi" Duo stalked off. Grandpa sighed and carried the things to the car.

"Whoa! Anon has taken a strong lead but here comes Amber right behind him! Ben is right behind them. They're fighting for it I'll tell ya. Second lap! Amber is up there! But this new Anon guy won't give up that easy! Marcus is moving in for third but Ben isn't going to let him have it. Third and final lap every one! Here they come almost to the finish line! OH! Ben has been thrown from his bike! Amber's almost there! OH! Beaten by a hair! Anon finishes firs, Amber second, and Dally in third! And that's a race!"

Amber leaped off of her bike and threw her helmet down, running back to the place where Ben lay. He was lying on his back. "Ben? Ben are you ok?" she shook him gently. He opened his eyes slowly. She looked him over his leg was bent at a strange angle and he was bleeding from his right shoulder. Amber could feel someone behind her. It was Heero. "I think his hip is dislocated on the left side and his right leg might be broken" she walked around him and bent his left knee. She forcefully shoved his leg back into its joint receiving a yelp from Ben. Heero was already next to her putting a splint on his right leg. She moved up to his shoulder, which was bleeding still. She made a swift movement with her hands and put something into her pocket. Someone in the crowd handed her a first aid kit and she got to work cleaning him up. Every once in a while he would hiss in pain but by the time she finished putting the dressings on the ambulance had arrived.

As they put him in the back of the ambulance he winked and blew her a kiss. A disgusted look crossed her face. Heero and Duo walked up on either side of her. "So, is that your boyfriend or something?" Duo asked. Heero hit him. "No…just some guy at my school, he's liked me since last year and I can't get rid of him" Amber answered. Tristra walked up beside Heero, "Yeah, he's such a jerk too." Heero turned to look at Tristra. "10 minutes until the next race, you better get ready." Tristra looked at Duo; "At least I know some guys are still thoughtful.

The next race started and ended with Tristra in the lead and Amber no where in sight.
