*Oh. My. God. I can't believe it's taken me so long to update. Hopefully it never happens again. Thanks for the follows, reviews and favorites. As always. You make me smile. Spell check doesn't like me today, so sorry if you find any errors.*

**And...I'm going to start adding an OOC warning. I don't do it on purpose, and I'm really trying to keep people in character. If I slip, my apologies.**

It didn't matter that Lux got little to no sleep the night before. The second she jumped into her (insanely expensive) track sneakers, it was like drinking twelve pots of coffee; nothing beats race day.

"How can you be in such a good mood right now? It's like eight hundred degrees out."

Tessa was twirling a piece of hair around her finger, fanning herself with her other hand.
Lux chose to ignore her, as she usually does, and instead focused on the immaculate track in front of her. She was itching to compete, and the wait was killing her. Why couldn't her events be first?

"Way to kick that girls ass, Lexis!"

Normally Lux would kick Frankie in the throat for even thinking about calling her Lexis, but she let it slide; nothing could ruin her good mood.

That skank from Georgia had no chance.

"When we get to Fangtasia tonight, I'm buying the first round." Something Lux the tightwad has never done, but there's a first time for everything.

When it came time to get ready to go out, Lux didn't even bother to fight Frankie on her outfit choice. She gladly pulled on the black skinny jeans and hot pink button down cami that Frankie pulled out of her closet.

"I need to commit this to memory. I'm pretty sure this is the first time you've willingly put on an outfit I've put together for you…and you're not even complaining about heading back to Fangtasia. If I didn't know better, I'd say you were someone else."

Lux put the finishing touches on her make-up, and double checked her hair before pulling on a black ruched blazer.

"It's a special occasion; let's go celebrate, Chicky."
