I do not own anything…
Mission Beach; 8:30 p.m.
With Deangelo and Sai Saici….
My brother and I eventually made it Back home to change clothes for the party that was about to start soon, there was no sign of Naruto when we made it back and his phone was still cut off.
Part of me was starting to worry that he ended up getting himself lost like he always does, but another part of me is guessing he was out racing or practicing.
Knowing him I say it was the latter and not the former, my brother is always looking to try to sharpen up on his skills, he wanted to be the best racer out there.
He truly is his late father's son alright, always having the urge for speed and not much else, if only Minato could see him now and how he's grown.
I know he's looking down and, in a way, smiling at him, same goes for his mother kushina and it still saddens me how both of them died.
After I put on some brand new sneakers I got my car keys off a nearby dresser and left my father's bedroom, I went into the hallways closing the door behind me and called out sai saici's name,
"I'm almost done," he called out from his bedroom, "just give me a minute!"
"Come on bro, I don't want to be late and be held up in a long line," I said trying to rush him, I walked over to a nearby mirror and took a quick glance at my face and outfit, "You remember what happened the last time we took too long going to a party right?"
From the bedroom again my brother responded, "Yeah, Yeah, don't remind me. The cops shut the whole thing down before we even got a chance to enjoy ourselves…"
"Yeah…." I responded with a hint of annoyance as I quickly brushed my hair, I still remember that night vividly, it was being held in the neighborhood of Ensley on the eve of our high school graduation.
I will admit things did get a bit rowdy there due to the fact that almost everyone was drunk, what made things worse is a few fights broke out and it was mostly with the residents that were in the vicinity of that house where the party took place.
It didn't take long for the police to show up, they came in deep ready to arrest anyone that was either drinking underage or was out past the curfew.
Amid all the confusion, my brothers and I managed to escape successfully, but a few of our friends and even classmates weren't so lucky.
Finishing up I walked over to a nearby closet and opened it revealing a few rows of hats, I managed to grab one that had the word "East Siders" stitched on the front of it, I put it on and closed the door as my brother finally came into the living room with me.
Sai saici goes, "So how do I look?" he turns around once as he looks down at his new pair of blue jeans, white sneakers, a yellow T-shirt and a fancy watch that my father mostly would wear.
I jokingly respond, "You look like mom still picks your clothes out for you."
A frown forms on his face as I gave out a small chuckle, I playfully hit his left shoulder softly telling him to lighten up.
We finally managed to leave the beach house being welcomed to the cries of seagulls and the sound of the calm waters outside, the moon shined brightly tonight as it illuminated everything around us, both of us took in the ambiance for a minute before going to the garage.
The garage door opened revealing the now crippled Aston Martin, the vehicle had a blue tarp thrown over it, it won't be down for too long hopefully.
The problems with the car were very minor so it'll be back on the road racing again soon, for now, I told my brother that the two of us will ride in the Porsche to the party.
"What about Naruto?" he asked as the two of us were about to enter the blue two door.
"He's not answering his phone, he'll just have to miss out on this one." I simply answered.
It wasn't the first time he did something like this, but it will not be the last especially now that we're here in a place such as this.
Once inside the Porsche I put the keys in the ignition and turned it on, bringing the engine to life as I gave it a few revs, I reached for the stick shift and placed it in first gear and drove the vehicle out of the garage.
Once on the road, my brother and soaked in the views and the beautiful landscapes around the area, noticing the fireworks going off near the pier and various businesses were very active around this time.
"So, what do you think about this place?" my bother asked, still looking around at different vendors and houses.
"I love it, there's so much to see and do around here," I answered focusing on the road still, "made the right choice coming down here."
"A lot more fun than Japan, don't you think?" my brother asks giving me a smirk.
I returned the expression going, "Nah, but its tied with Japan as being a fun place to race and explore."
Driving further down, we spotted a few unique cars parked on the side of the road near an eatery, one of them was a Nissan GTR, the other was a Ferrari 360 Modena.
That got me to thinking about earlier when my brother received help and the invitation from that stranger, Tristian isn't it?
"Hey, mind telling me more about the guy who helped you today?"
Sai Saici turns his attention towards me going, "Tristian? There's not much about him apart from what he's told me," he explained, "he's from Brooklyn, New York, to be more specific Coney Island. He's pretty well known around here from what I've heard."
Never been to Brooklyn but I got a few friends who stay out there, my brother went on to tell me that this Tristian also owns a very special Nissan GTR, an alpha 9 it seems.
That's a pretty fast car too, some even calling it a "Bugatti Killer" because of its performance, yeah…. going to this party would be a good idea for the two of us.
It'll give us a chance to see who we're up against, from newbies to the top dogs, so far, the racers we've met are mostly locals trying to make a name for themselves or out of towners like my brothers and me.
Looking in the rear-view mirror I noticed a few more cars approaching, and they were closing in fast, "Heads up, on your right." I warned.
Sai Saici looked in the passenger side mirror as both vehicles blew right by us.
*VROOOOMMM*
*VROOOOMMMM*
It was almost like a blur, but we could still make out what the vehicles were though, up front was a Lamborghini Sesto Elemento, while the second vehicle was an old school Lamborghini a Diablo SV colored in red.
I haven't seen a Diablo SV since I was a kid, what's crazy is that some of the older cars cost more than some of the newer cars that are in the market today.
Amazed at the sight Sai Saici goes, "now that's awesome."
"you're telling me," I respond as I continued to drive casually, obeying the speed limit, "How much you want to bet they're probably going to the party?"
My brother wouldn't doubt it in the slightest, both of us wished Naruto was here with us, just where the hell is that goof anyways?
Meanwhile….
With Naruto And Hinata…..
Mission Beach; 8:50 p.m.
Hinata and I were enjoying ourselves at the amusement park, times like this it makes me realize just how much I truly missed seeing her.
The two of us have known each other since we were kids back in Konoha, she was always shy and timid, which made her a target to bullies unfortunately.
I always stood up for her only to get my ass kicked sometimes and not her, but at least it was me that had to deal with the pain and injuries and not her.
And every time I got jumped, Deangelo and Sai Saici came to the rescue to save me, all four of us became close friends.
After the death of my parents I had to move to America once I got adopted into the Manson family, but I still went to go see Hinata and the others during the summer time.
It's still kinda funny to me, if anyone told me that she and I would become a couple, I either would've laughed or looked at them funny.
Amazing how things turned out, but I'm very thankful they did, Hinata has been a huge emotional support along with my friends and my brothers.
We've been a couple for almost two years now, the only thing I hate is that our relationship is long distance most of the time.
I can tell that she doesn't like it either, but she does her best to try to stay strong like I do.
The two of us laughed as we finally got our cotton candy from a nearby kiosk, Hinata managed to take a bite saying how sweet and delicious it is.
Unlike me she hasn't really exposed herself to western food here, most of it is pretty unique and good, while others are just blah…..unhealthy.
In Alabama everything is either fried, covered in sugar, or both.
It was an active night here and the amusement park and the beach were almost packed with people, the two of us held hands and stayed close to each other as we tried to maneuver to the giant Ferriss wheel.
The weather was very comfortable, it wasn't too hot (shockingly) but not cold either, the waters were calm with the moon reflecting off of it shines brightly.
"Stay close Hinata-Chan." I told her as I tightened my grip on her right hand trying to keep her close.
Music was blaring near the beach area (sounded like the song "Opposite of Adults" was playing by the rapper Chiddy Bang), and people were dancing and enjoying themselves like we were.
After making it to the Ferriss wheel, the two of us paid the operator and were escorted to our seats, the safety bar went down, and we started to move.
We slowly went up with the view of the beach getting better and better until we made it to the top and the Ferriss wheel came to a stop, Hinata held close to me she was somewhat afraid of heights.
Meanwhile I myself enjoyed the view of the whole area, I wanted to take my phone out and take a photo of this.
I looked over at my girlfriend who was trying her hardest not to look down, I reached my hand over and caressed her cheek, "Hey…Hey…it's alright," I said, trying to calm her, "we're safe okay? Nothing's going to happen…"
A faint blush forms on her face as she looks me in the eyes, I give her a fox like grin which made her blush even more, words can't even describe just how adorable she's looking right now.
I want to cherish this night, its all about the two of us, no racing or anything related to it. I'll worry about that tomorrow, after this I might take Hinata to go see a movie at the theater (tonight they're showing "The Fast and The Furious"), and if we have enough time, we may take a stroll down to the beach.
I know my brothers are probably wondering where I am right now, but I'll call them once this date is over.
Meanwhile…
Mission Beach.
Chan's Mansion; 9:00 p.m.
With Tristian…
I pulled up into the large driveway of the mansion which pretty much overlooked most of the Mission Beach, the parking area was almost packed with so many cars of different class.
I noticed even a Bugatti Veyron 16.4 parked right next to a Mclaren, both were colored red and were brand new from the looks of it like they came off the dealer's lot.
There was a line of people near the front door that is guarded by bouncers and they were letting in those who had the invitations Chan himself gave out, he's very particular on who to let in and most of them are pretty much dumb spoiled rich kids like him.
Despite the "Dumb spoiled rich kids" part, they were also racers who knew how to drive these fast cars, they weren't driving them to try to flex and flaunt their status.
They drove them for the thrill and the adrenaline rush, these vehicles, most specifically the hyper cars can reach speeds of 250 plus.
Not only were they fast, they were expensive as hell, costing more than some of the mansions around here in the area.
It takes a special skill to drive cars like the Bugatti or the Koenigsegg, and it takes nerves of steel to drive them at almost 300 MPH.
I parked my car right next to a pink Lamborghini LP640, I knew who the driver of the vehicle was since I had a few run ins with her before. The girl's driving is flat out frightening, but not as bad as the one who owns the red Bugatti Veyron.
I see the Bugatti's owner sibling is here too, driving the red Mercedes SLS AMG looking rather menacing with its solid black rims and aggressive stance.
I got out the car and walked up to the front entrance passing by all of those who were waiting in line and receiving a few frowns and scowls from them.
One of the bouncers immediately stopped me dead in my tracks, "Sorry pal, no invitation no entrance." He stated.
I reached into my pants pocket and pulled out the card that Chan gave me and handed it to him, the bouncer examines it for a few minutes before stepping to the side and opening the door for me.
I walked right in and was welcomed to the sound of hard bass thumping from the speakers, it pounded my eardrums as those around me danced to their hearts content.
I wasn't really a big fan of house parties or even clubs, but hey, I'm not going to pass up on the free food and drinks.
The inside of the mansion was huge, and the halls felt like I was in a maze, passing by a few rooms I noticed a few activities going on.
Some were busy playing the game in one room while in another, I saw a few guys playing beer pong, it made me think about my friends back home in Brooklyn.
Up ahead I spotted Chan talking to a woman as he held a glass of champagne in his hand, he wore a red polo top, sandals, black shorts and wore an expensive Rolex watch around his left wrist.
As I approached him, he glanced at me and simply raised his glass and gave a welcoming but smug grin.
"Ahh Tristian! You finally made it!" he said in a cheery tone.
He puts his arm around the woman and goes, "So what do you think?"
I examined the whole area, we were located on the upper level of the mansion, down below I could see a huge crowd of people dancing and enjoying themselves.
I spotted a DJ booth that was giving an impressive light show, outside I spotted a large pool and even a jacuzzi that was occupied with wild partygoers.
I just shrugged my shoulders, "it's impressive I guess…" I said in a nonchalant fashion.
I wasn't amazed by it and Chan was mostly a poser anyways, his cars, his bling, all of it is bought and payed for thanks to his dad.
Because of this he has a gigantic ego that's bigger than the money he burns through daily, it's aggravating honestly but despite this he is a skilled racer and that's something money couldn't buy.
Chan takes a sip of his drink and goes, "Enjoy yourself and have fun, who knows, you might get lucky and find you a girl here."
Chan nudges my side with his elbow, the chick that was with him giggles and goes, "If you want, I have a friend that I could introduce you t…."
I raised my hand up stopping her before she could even finish her sentence, "I'm flattered, but I already got someone that I'm seeing at the moment." I explained.
The girl shrugs and Chan himself shakes his head, "Come darling, how about I show you the trophy room?" he says to the girl as the two stroll down the hall.
I leaned against the railing getting a good look at some of the pedestrians, seeing if I could recognize anyone.
Right off the bat I spotted Zuko, but his girlfriend was nowhere to be found, he was sitting at a nearby bar and had a pissed off look on his face, I got a feeling something happened between the two.
Now where's his sister?
Little miss ego herself?
It seems like she was no where around, she's usually with Zuko making snide remarks and throwing shade at him on the low.
I continued scouting the lower level, no sign of Zuko's girlfriend and no sign of the ever so cheery Ty Lee, both were around here somewhere.
"Wait, I haven't seen Ron-Jion, where's that clown at?" I wondered.
Knowing him he's probably doing what Chan's doing right now, trying to pick up a chick to kick it with and show off like the narcissist he is.
Seeing as Zuko is the only familiar (and tolerable) faces around at the moment, I decided to make my way downstairs to him maneuvering through the crowd.
Meanwhile…
Outside Chan's Mansion.
With Deangelo and Sai Saici….
"Yo would you look at this." I said in absolute awe.
There were so many fast cars parked out here, whether or not most of the owners were racers is pretty much up to us to find out.
But it got my brother and I excited, damn of all the nights Naruto had to go all incognito, he would love to see this. He would be crazy enough to try to challenge damn near everybody, screw communicating through the Autolog.
"My god, look at that!" Sai Saici exclaimed pointing at Bugatti Veyron that was nearby.
This is my first time seeing one of these in real life and wow it looks beastly, hard to believe that is considered the worlds fastest production car.
Just almost pout of my peripheral view I spotted a bright pink sports car, getting a better look I found out that it was the pink Lamborghini that Ty Lee herself drives.
"She's here too? Oh man I need to hurry up inside." I thought, she's been on my mind ever since the encounter on the beach.
I can't forget how cute she looked in her bikini and that smile she had, that smile alone could brighten anyone's day.
Part of me is praying that she doesn't have a boyfriend already, if she doesn't, I hope that I don't make too much of a fool out of myself.
Sai Saici took out the invitations and handed one over to me, we both noticed a Nissan GTR as we slowly drove by trying to find a parking spot.
My brother examined it going, "Looks like Tristian is already here."
"That GTR is his?" I asked.
Sai Saici nods, he sits back in the seat going, "Looks like he showed up early."
"Not just him, Zuko's here too."
I looked around wondering if Aang, Sokka, and a few other racers I've met so far were here. I didn't see any of their rides so I'm guessing they either didn't get an invite or they'll show up later.
At any rate, I'm looking forward to all I might encounter once we're inside, the racing scene is very much active down here.
And all these expensive and extremely fast rides pretty much proves it.
AN: Man, it's been way too long but I'm back and active again, I'll be trying to improve and maybe rewrite some of the stories I've already posted.
More chapters will be up soon.
